Section 2.1
Summary of key risks
Prospective investors should be aware that subscribing for Shares in the Company involves a
number of risks. The risk factors set out in Section 4, and other general risks applicable to all
investments in listed securities, may affect the value of the Shares in the future. Accordingly, an
investment in the Company should be considered highly speculative. This Section summarises the
key risks which apply to an investment in the Company and investors should refer to Section 4 for a
more detailed summary of the risks.
Limited history The Company was incorporated on 10 February 2021
and therefore has limited operational and financial
history with which to evaluate its business and
prospects. The prospects of the Company must be
considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties
frequently encountered by companies in the early
stages of their development, particularly in the mineral
exploration sector, which has a high level of inherent
risk and uncertainty. No assurance can be given that
the Company will achieve commercial viability through
the successfulexplorationon, or mining development
Section 4.1(a)

Topic Summary More information
of, the Projects. Until the Company is able to realise
value from the Projects, it is likely to incur operational
losses.
Conditionality of the
Offers
The obligation of the Company to issue the Securities
under the Offers is conditional on the matters set out in
Section 1.6. If those conditions are not satisfied, the
Company will not proceed with the Offers. Failure to
complete the Offers may have a material adverse effect
on the Company's financial position.
Section 4.1(b)
Contractual Risk The ability of the Company to achieve its stated
objectives may be materially affected by the
performance of the obligations of various parties under
certain agreements (details in Section 7). If any party
defaults in the performance of its obligations, it may be
necessary for the Company to approach a court to seek
a legal remedy, which can be costly.
If the Company enters into agreements with third parties
for the acquisition or divestment of equity interests in
mineral exploration and mining projects, there are no
guarantees that any such contractual obligations will be
satisfied in part or in full. Further information relating to
the Company's contractual risks relating to the
Inhambane Project are set out in Section 4.2(a) and
7.1(b).
Section 4.1(c)
Future capital
requirements
The Company has no operating revenue and is unlikely
to generate any operating revenue unless and until the
Projects are successfully developed and production
commences. The future capital requirements of the
Company will depend on many factors including its
business development activities. The Company believes
its available cash and the net proceeds of the Capital
Raising Offer should be adequate to fund its business
development activities, exploration program and other
Company objectives in the short term as stated in this
Prospectus.
Section 4.1(f)
Title and grant risk As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company has a
100% beneficial interest in the Port Gregory Tenements,
which will be legally transferred to the Company subject
to the receipt of an Admission Letter from the ASX, in
which case, the transfer will occur 15 days after
receiving the letter. The Port Gregory Tenements are
currently held on trust for the Company under the
Gianni Agreement.
Pursuant to the Mining Act, an exploration licence
cannot be transferredwithinthefirst12 months of its

grant unless consent from the Minister is obtained.
E70/5314 (which is one of five tenements comprising
the Port Gregory Project) is held by Mining Equities Pty
Ltd and is within its first year of grant. Until it reaches its
first year of grant (being 1 December 2021), it cannot be
transferred without the prior written consent of the
Minister.
The Inhambane Project is a single exploration licence
that reached its full term and the Company is awaiting
the grant of the Mining Concession (the application for
which was lodged on 11 March 2020). There is a risk
that this concession may not be granted in its entirety or
only granted on conditions unacceptable to the
Company.
The Company has not received Government approval
for the transfers that of interests that occurred under the
+258 Agreement or the Share Swap. Until such time as
the approvals are received, the Company has set aside
minimal funds to the Inhambane Project.
Exploration and
development risks
Mineral exploration and development is a high-risk
undertaking. There can be no assurance that
exploration of the Projects or any other exploration
properties that may be acquired in the future will result
in the discovery of an economic resource.
Even if an apparently viable resource is identified, there
is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited
due to various issues including lack of ongoing funding,
adverse government policy, geological conditions,
commodity prices or other technical difficulties.
The future exploration activities of the Company may be
affected by a range of factors including geological
conditions, limitations on activities due to seasonal
weather patterns, unanticipated operational and
technical difficulties, industrial and environmental
accidents, native title process, changing government
regulations and many other factors beyond the control
of the Company.
Section 4.2(b)
Payment obligations Pursuant to the licences comprising the Company's
Projects, the Company will become subject to payment
and other obligations. In particular, holders are required
to expend the funds necessary to meet the minimum
work commitments attaching to the Tenements. Failure
to meet these work commitments may render the
Tenements subject to forfeiture or result in the holders
being liable for fees. Further, if any contractual
obligations are not complied with when due, in addition
to any other remedies thatmay be available to other
Section 4.2(e)

parties, this could result in dilution or forfeiture of the
Company's interest in the Projects. Further details of
these conditions and obligations are set out in
Section 5.5.1 of the Solicitor's Report at Annexure C.
The Company has a particular Expenditure
Requirement in respect of the +258 Agreement relating
to the Inhambane Project, which is yet to be met,
notwithstanding that the +258 Agreement required the
Expenditure Requirement to be met by 19 April 2021.
The Company has provided notice to the relevant
counterparty of its reliance on a force majeure clause.
While the Company has sought a legal opinion on its
ability to rely on the force majeure clause (as set out the
Solicitor's Report at Annexure C), there is a risk that if
such advice is incorrect, the Company may have unmet
obligations under the +258 Agreement, which could give
rise to termination of the +258 Agreement and the
reversion of the Company's 70% indirect interest in the
Inhambane Project to Galilei.
The Company has set aside minimal funds to the
Inhambane Project. In the event the Company receives
Government Approval, it may elect to spend further
funds on the Inhambane Project. In the event further
funds are spent on Inhambane, the Company intends
that these funds will first be drawn from budgeted
working capital and future acquisition costs. However, it
is likely that the Company will be required to undertake
a future capital raising in order to satisfy the
Expenditure Requirement by 19 April 2023. In the event
that the Company is unable to satisfy the Expenditure
Requirement it will be in breach of its obligations under
the +258 Agreement, which could give rise to the
termination of the +258 Agreement and the reversion of
the Company's 70% indirect interest in the Inhambane
Project to Galilei.
The Company cautions investors not to place undue
reliance on Company's ability to secure its rights to the
Inhambane Project in making an investment decision.
Sovereign risk In March 2021, there was a terrorist attack in Palma in
Mozambique's Cabo Delgado province, which led to the
killing of local inhabitants and foreigners involved in a
major liquefied natural gas project. While the terrorist
attacks were approximately 2,280 kilometres away from
the Inhambane Project, the Company will continue to
monitor the risk of terrorist activities in Mozambique. It is
possible that further attacks could occur in
Mozambique, both in Cabo Delgado and in other
provinces. Future terrorist attacksinthe country could

present a danger to the lives and wellbeing of the
Company's in-country staff and contractors and could
adversely affect the viability and profitability of the
Company.
Native title risk The Company is aware that there is one registered
native title determination (in the name of Yamatji Nation)
within the area covered by the Tenements comprising
the Port Gregory Project and that the Tenements are
subject to the 'Yamatji Nation Agreement' Indigenous
Land Use Agreement.
Section 4.2(k) and
the Solicitor's Report
in Annexure B
Aboriginal heritage
risk
The Company is aware that there are ten registered
Aboriginal heritage sites, two registered 'other'
Aboriginal heritage places and six applications for 'other'
Aboriginal heritage places which are either registered or
have been lodged within Tenements E66/102, E70/5130
and E70/5161.
The Tenements are also subject to a heritage
agreement which imposes exclusion zones of up to 300
metres prohibiting exploration activities around certain
Aboriginal sites located on Tenements E66/102 and
E70/5161. There remains a risk that additional
Aboriginal sites may exist on the land the subject of the
Tenements. The existence of such sites may preclude
or limit mining activities in certain areas of the
Tenements.
Section 4.2(l) and
the Solicitor's Report
in Annexure B
Third party risks Under Western Australian and Commonwealth
legislation, the Company may be required to obtain the
consent of and/or pay compensation to the holders of
third-party interests which overlay areas within the Port
Gregory Tenements, including pastoral leases,
petroleum tenure and other mining tenure in respect of
exploration or mining activities on the Port Gregory
Tenements.
All of the Port Gregory Tenements overlap File Notation
Areas. In respect to the File Notation Areas, third party
tenure and access rights may be granted in the future.
Refer to paragraph 9.1 of the Solicitor's Report at
Annexure B for further details.
Any delays in respect of conflicting third-party rights,
obtaining necessary consents, or compensation
obligations, may adversely impact the Company's ability
to carry out exploration or mining activities within the
affected areas.

Topic Summary More information
Environmental risk The operations and proposed activities of the Company
are subject to State and Federal laws and regulations
concerning the environment. As with most exploration
projects and mining operations, the Company's activities
are expected to have an impact on the environment,
particularly if advanced exploration or field development
proceeds. It is the Company's intention to conduct its
activities to the highest standard of environmental
obligation, including compliance with all environmental
laws.
The land the subject of tenements E66/102, E70/5130,
E70/5160 and E70/5161 comprising part of the Port
Gregory Project, overlap several crown reserves. Prior
to conducting activities on the reserves, the Company
will be required to seek certain consents and approvals.

Infectious diseases The outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is
having a material effect on global economic markets.
The global economic outlook is facing uncertainty due to
the pandemic, which has had and may continue to have
a significant impact on capital markets.
The Company's Share price may be adversely affected
by the economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19.
Further measures to limit the transmission of the virus
implemented by governments around the world (such as
travel bans and quarantining) may adversely impact the
Company's operations and may interrupt the Company
carrying out its contractual obligations or cause
disruptions to supply chains.

Notes:

  2. See Section 6.6 for further details of the Directors' remuneration.

  3. Working capital includes the general costs associated with the management and operation of the business including administration expenses, rent and other associated costs. The payment of the Sign-on Bonus will also be made from the Working Capital allocation. Working capital also includes surplus funds. The Directors will allocate surplus funds at their discretion.

  4. The Company has applied minimal expenditure to the Inhambane Project, however, in the event the Company is able to resolve the title and grant risk set out in Section 4.2(a) and payment obligations set out in Section 4.2(e), it may elect to spend further funds on the Inhambane Project. In the event further funds are spent on Inhambane, the Company intends that these funds will be drawn from budgeted working capital and future acquisition costs.

  5. Future acquisition costs include costs required for the identification of new projects and opportunistic acquisitions. The Company notes that:

  6. (a) it is not currently considering other acquisitions;

  7. (b) any future acquisitions are likely to be in the mineral resource sector;

Page 4

  • (c) the timing of any such transactions is not yet known; and

  • (d) if no suitable acquisition opportunity arises, and subject to the outcomes of exploration activities, the Company may elect to allocate some or all of these funds to exploration on the Company's existing Projects.

  • Expenses paid or payable by the Company in relation to the Offers are set out in Section 8.9.

The proposed use of funds outlined above is a statement of current intentions as at the date of this Prospectus. Investors should note that the allocation of funds will be subject to modification on an ongoing basis depending on the results obtained from the Company's activities. Due to market conditions, the development of new opportunities and/or any number of other factors (including the risk factors outlined in Section 4), actual expenditure levels may differ significantly from the above estimates.

The Board believes that the funds raised from the Offers will provide the Company with sufficient working capital to achieve its stated objectives as detailed in this Prospectus.

The use of further equity funding may be considered by the Board where it is appropriate to accelerate a specific project or strategy.

Based on the intended use of funds detailed above, the amounts raised pursuant to the Offers will provide the Company sufficient funding for approximately 2 years' of operations. As the Company has no operating revenue, the Company will require further financing in the future. See Section 4.1(f) for further details about the risks associated with the Company's future capital requirements.

(a) Fees payable to the Lead Manager

Pursuant to the Lead Manager Mandate, the Company has agreed to pay the Lead Manager (or its nominees):

  • (i) a fee of 6% (comprising of a 2% management fee and 4% capital raising fee) of up to $5,500,000 of the funds raised through the Broker Firm and Institutional Offer, noting that the 4% capital raising fee will not be payable in respect of funds raised through the Chairman's List;

In addition to the above, the Company paid the Lead Manager $9,000 in respect of work undertaken in connection with a seed round undertaken by the Company, which raised $150,000 (before costs).

The Lead Manager Mandate contains other clauses which are considered standard for agreements of this nature.

(b) Lead Manager's interests in Securities

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Lead Manager and its associates have a relevant interest in 1,250,000 Shares (a percentage shareholding of 5.98%).

Based on the information available to the Company as at the date of the Prospectus regarding the intentions of the Lead Manager and its associates in relation to the Offers and assuming:

  • (i) the Minimum Subscription is achieved under the Capital Raising Offer; and

Page 6

  • (ii) neither the Lead Manager nor its associates take up Shares under the Capital Raising Offer,

the Lead Manager and its associates will have a relevant interest in 1,250,000 Shares (a percentage shareholding of 2.44%) and 4,000,000 Lead Manager Options on Admission.

(c) Lead Manager's participation in previous placements

As at the date of the Prospectus, the Lead Manager and its associates hold 1,250,000 Shares in the Company.

1.11 Forecasts

The Directors have considered the matters detailed in ASIC Regulatory Guide 170 and believe that they do not have a reasonable basis to forecast future earnings on the basis that the operations of the Company are inherently uncertain. Accordingly, any forecast or projection information would contain such a broad range of potential outcomes and possibilities that it is not possible to prepare a reliable best estimate forecast or projection.

The Directors consequently believe that, given these inherent uncertainties, it is not possible to include reliable forecasts in this Prospectus.

Refer to Sections 2.1 and 2.4 for further information in respect to the Company's proposed activities.

The Application Form does not need to be signed to be valid. If the Application Form is not completed correctly or if the accompanying

Page 8

payment is for the wrong amount, it may be treated by the Company as valid. The Directors' decision as to whether to treat such an Application as valid and how to construe amend or complete the Application Form is final; however an applicant will not be treated as having applied for more Shares than is indicated by the amount of the BPAY® or EFT for the Application Monies.

It is the responsibility of Applicants outside of Australia, Zealand, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Hong Kong and Germany to obtain all necessary approvals for the allotment and issue of Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.

The return of a completed Application Form with the requisite Application Monies (if applicable) will be taken by the Company to constitute a representation and warranty by the Applicant that all relevant approvals have been obtained and that the Applicant:

  • (xiii) acknowledges that the Shares have not, and will not be, registered under the securities laws in any other jurisdictions outside Australia, and accordingly, the Shares may not be offered, sold or otherwise transferred except in accordance with an available exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of applicable securities laws;

No monies are payable for the Lead Manager Securities under the Lead Manager Offer.

1.13 CHESS and issuer sponsorship

The Company will apply to participate in CHESS. All trading on the ASX will be settled through CHESS. ASX Settlement, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the ASX, operates CHESS in accordance with the Listing Rules and the ASX Settlement Operating Rules. On behalf of the Company, the Share Registry will operate an electronic issuer sponsored sub-register and an electronic CHESS sub-register. The two sub-registers together make up the Company's principal register of securities.

Under CHESS, the Company will not issue certificates to Shareholders. Rather, holding statements (similar to bank statements) will be sent to Shareholders as soon as practicable after allotment. Holding statements will be sent either by CHESS (for Shareholders who elect to hold Shares on the CHESS sub-register) or by the Company's Share Registry (for

Page 10

Shareholders who elect to hold their Shares on the issuer sponsored sub-register). The statements will set out the number of existing Shares (where applicable) and the number of new Shares allotted under this Prospectus and provide details of a Shareholder's holder identification number (for Shareholders who elect to hold Shares on the CHESS sub-register) or Shareholder reference number (for Shareholders who elect to hold their Shares on the issuer sponsored sub-register). Updated holding statements will also be sent to each Shareholder at the end of each month in which there is a transaction on their holding, as required by the Listing Rules.

1.14 ASX Listing and Official Quotation

Within seven days after the date of this Prospectus, the Company will apply to ASX for admission to the Official List and for the Shares, including those offered by this Prospectus, to be granted Official Quotation (apart from any Shares that may be designated by ASX as restricted securities).

If ASX does not grant permission for Official Quotation within three months after the date of this Prospectus (or within such longer period as may be permitted by ASIC) none of the Securities offered by this Prospectus will be allotted and issued. If no allotment and issue is made, all Application Monies will be refunded to Applicants (without interest) as soon as practicable.

ASX takes no responsibility for the contents of this Prospectus. The fact that ASX may grant Official Quotation is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the Securities offered pursuant to this Prospectus.

1.15

Application Monies to be held in trust

Application Monies will be held in trust for Applicants until the allotment of the Shares under the Capital Raising Offer. Any interest that accrues will be retained by the Company.

1.16 Allocation and issue of Shares

The Directors, in conjunction with the Lead Manager will allocate Shares between the Broker Firm and Institutional Offer and the Chairman's List Offer at the Directors' sole discretion with a view to ensuring an appropriate Shareholder base for the Company going forward.

Invitations to participate in the Chairman's List Offer will be made by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion for up to 5,000,000 Shares which will be allocated at the discretion of the Chairman and the Company.

There is no assurance that any Applicant will be allocated any Shares under the Capital Raising Offer, or the number of Shares for which it has applied. The Company reserves the right to reject any Application or to issue a lesser number of Shares than those applied for under the Capital Raising Offer. Where the number of Shares issued is less than the number applied for, surplus Application Monies will be refunded (without interest) as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date.

Subject to the matters in Section 1.14, Shares under the Capital Raising Offer are expected to be allotted on the Issue Date. It is the responsibility of Applicants to determine their allocation prior to trading in the Shares issued under the Capital Raising Offer. Applicants who sell Shares before they receive their holding statements do so at their own risk.

2. Company Overview

2.1 Company and business overview

The Company was incorporated on 10 February 2021 in the State of Western Australia with a focus on industrial mineral exploration.

The Company acquired 100% of the issued capital of Mozmin Resources Pty Ltd ( MRPL ) by way of a share acquisition agreement, which completed on 24 May 2021 ( Share Swap ). MRPL was incorporated on 16 September 2013 and has a right to acquire 100% of the Port Gregory Project and owns 100% of Mozmin (Mauritius) Limited ( Mozmin Mauritius ), which has a 70% indirect interest in the Inhambane Project.

The Company's projects comprise of the Port Gregory Garnet project in Western Australia ( Port Gregory Project ) and the Inhambane Mineral Sands project in Mozambique ( Inhambane Project ) (together, the Projects ).

The Company's corporate strategy is to develop an industrial mineral sands exploration, development and mining business through organic growth and corporate action. To this end, the Company's exploration strategy is focused on delineating and assessing an economically viable resource base capable of rapidly transforming the Company from an exploration company to a mineral producer.

The Port Gregory Project is the primary focus of the Company and consists of 5 granted tenements totalling 181 km[2] of tenure. The Port Gregory Project is prospective for industrial minerals, in particular garnet as shown by previous exploration activities carried out on the northern tenements (E70/5160 and E70/5314). The Port Gregory Project contains a defined exploration target of between 3.5Mt and 4.5Mt In-Situ Garnet (with grade of between 3.5% and 4.5% heavy minerals - see Annexure D for further details) ( Exploration Target ).

The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource in this area and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimate of a Mineral Resource.

The Exploration Target takes no account of geological complexity, possible mining method or metallurgical recovery factors. The Exploration Target was estimated in order to provide an assessment of the potential scale and exploration at E70/5160. The work on which the Exploration Target is based is included in Appendix B of Annexure D and includes air cored drilling undertaken at E70/5160. The Company intends to test the Exploration Target with further drilling as per the work program set out in Section 2.6.

The Company also has rights relating to the Inhambane Project, which consists of a mining concession application (the application for which was lodged on 11 March 2020). The Inhambane Project has a JORC (2012) inferred Mineral Resource of 51 million tonnes @ 3.4% Total Heavy Mineral. The Company has a 70% indirect interest in the Inhambane Project (via its wholly-owned subsidiary, Mozmin (Mauritius) Limited) with the remaining 30% owned by Galilei (which will be free carried until a decision to mine is made by the Company). While the exploration licence preceding the mining concession application has expired, the grant of the Mining Concession is currently pending.

Investors are cautioned that there are risks which may affect the Company's ability to retain its 70% interest in the Inhambane Project and to receive recognition from the Government of Mozambique with regards to its acquisition under the +258 Agreement ( Government

Page 17

Approval ), which are set out in Sections 4.2(a) (title and grant) and 4.2(e) (payment obligations) and the Solicitor's Report at Annexure C. The Company is currently working towards addressing these risks, however, until the Company obtained the Government Approval, it has only committed minimal expenditure to the Inhambane Project. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to address these risks to its satisfaction (or at all).

The Company's Board comprises Messrs Adam Schofield (Non-Executive Chairman), Maurice (Nic) Matich (Executive Director), Glenn Simpson (Non-Executive Director) and Gregory Jones (Non-Executive Director). The Company Secretary is Steve Brockhurst. Further information on the Board is set out in Section 6.

Notes:

  1. E66/102, E70/5130, E70/5160 and E70/5161 are held by Gianni and will be transferred to MRPL (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) prior to Admission.

  2. E70/5314 is held by Mining Equities and will be transferred to MRPL subsequent to Admission. E70/5314 is within its first year of grant and until it reaches its first year of grant (being 1 December 2021), the exploration licence cannot be legally transferred to MRPL without the prior written consent of the Minister. Mining Equities must hold the legal title to each of the Tenements on trust for MRPL and provide MRPL with access to the exploration licence to conduct exploration activities until such time that legal title in all of the exploration licence passes to MRPL.

The Port Gregory Project is located approximately 45-60km north of Geraldton, 4565km south of Kalbarri, and 40km north-west from Northampton in the mid-west coastal region of Western Australia (approximately within 5km of GMA’s active Port Gregory garnet mine).

The heavy minerals in the known deposits in Western Australia were ultimately, but indirectly, derived from the weathering of crystalline igneous rocks in the Archean Yilgarn block. Heavy mineral grains derived from the Yilgarn block were initially deposited in thick sequences of Mesozoic sediments that filled the Perth Basin. The project lies in the most northerly part of the Perth Basin, on the western side of the Northampton Block.

The Tamala Limestone, a belt of coastal limestone extends up to 8.0km inland. It is composed of eolianite, which accumulated originally as coastal sand dunes in the late Pleistocene. This has developed over a basement of late Cretaceous age Winning Group sediments which can be seen outcropping near Yanganooka Well. A number of erosional scarps have been developed on the seaward side of the Tamala Limestone, one of which is equivalent to the strand-line mineralisation to the south. Fossil crescent dunes can also be distinguished on top of the large massive limestone area which may be of early Pleistocene age.

The sands contain significant localised enrichments of heavy minerals, notably garnet (almandine variety) and to a lesser extent ilmenite. The heavy minerals are thought to be derived from garnet-bearing Precambrian Granulites and migmatites of the Northampton Shield. The sands appear to have been deposited when the sea level was about 6m higher than today, possibly during the last interglacial peak.

Limited exploration has been carried out on these tenements. Most of the exploration activities were focused on data reviews and geological mapping surrounding the GMA’s Garnet Mine (which is outside the project area).

During 2013-2015, GMA completed a 76 hole Air Cored (AC) drilling program on E70/5160 and E70/5314.

The historical exploration at the Port Gregory Project has been highly encouraging with moderate to high garnet grades and its close proximity to an operating garnet mine. The Port Gregory Project demonstrates significant potential for a large future mineral sands discovery.

The Inhambane Project is located approximately 5km South East of the Port of Inhambane in Mozambique.

The Company acquired its interest in the Inhambane Project pursuant to a transaction between the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, MRPL and Galilei, a Mozambique incorporated company in April 2016.

The Inhambane region contains vast quantities of reworked coastal sands that were deposited by the Limpopo River further south. The project area is located over a seaward dune system trending towards a landward dune system. The dunes are arcuate and have long inverted ‘U’ shapes occurring as a series of parabolic dunes representing ancient blowouts with known mineralisation in the adjacent area occurring in both the dune faces and arms of the blowouts.

The bulk of the titanium and zircon sand mineralisation at the adjacent third-party owned Mutamba Project, which is being used by the Company as an analogue for its Inhambane Project, is associated with at least 160m thickness of older marine-intertidalaeolian sediments that include three generations of the stable older palaeodunes (referred to as D1, D2 and D3 in Dumouchel et al., 2016), which occur inland of the coastline and overlie a package of marine-intertidal sediments. The combined ilmenite, rutile and zircon heavy minerals content is 60% to 80% of the heavy minerals, with the bulk of the mineralisation hosted by the D2, D3 and fluvial units. Unit D3 is the most important in terms of economic geology, with an average of 3.3% heavy minerals and low slimes content, making it potentially amenable to low-cost dredge mining methods. These are overlain by the contemporary aeolian D4 unit and alluvial material.

2.5 Business strategy/objectives of the Company

Following Admission, the Company's primary focus will be to drill the Port Gregory Project to define a JORC Resource.

The Company will also look to undertake minimal work on the Inhambane Project, while it seeks to address the risks set out in the title and grant risk set out in Section 4.2(a). The Company will then assess development options for both Projects.

The Company proposes to actively pursue further acquisitions which complement its existing focus. If and when a viable investment opportunity is identified, the Board may elect to acquire or exploit such opportunity by way of acquisition, joint venture or earn-in arrangement which may involve the payment of consideration in cash, equity or a combination of both. The Board

Page 23

will assess the suitability of investment opportunities by utilising its experience in evaluating projects. There are uncertainties in the process of identifying and acquiring new and suitable projects. The Company confirms that it is not currently considering other acquisitions and that future acquisitions are likely to be in the mineral resource sector.

2.6 Proposed exploration budgets

The Company proposes to fund its intended activities as outlined in the table below from the proceeds of the Offers. The proposed exploration budgets will be subject to modification on an ongoing basis depending on the results obtained from exploration undertaken at the Projects. This will involve an ongoing assessment of the Company's Projects and may lead to increased or decreased levels of expenditure on certain interests, reflecting a change in emphasis. The following budget takes into account the proposed expenditure over the next 2 years to complete initial exploration of the Tenements. As outlined below, the Company's exploration expenditure will meet the regulatory expenditure requirements for each of the Tenements in the Port Gregory Project (see Annexure B for further details), however, the Company may be required to raise further funds in order to satisfy its Expenditure Requirements under the +258 Agreement:

Minimum Subscription Minimum Subscription Minimum Subscription

Further to the budgeted funds in the above table, $66,000 has been added to both the Year 1 and Year 2 exploration expenditure across both projects to allow for employee costs to be capitalised against exploration expenditure.

The Company has prepared a further work plan at the Inhambane Project, comprising $910,000, which will be attributed to exploration drilling, resource estimation, limited metallurgical testing and the commencement of initial techno-economic studies ( Further Works ). The Further Works are currently unfunded and in the event the Mozambique Approval is received, the Company may resolve to do one or more of the following:

  • (a) divert some funding from working capital or future acquisition costs to the Inhambane Project;

  • (b) raise new capital to fund the Further Works; or

  • (c) resolve not to undertake some or all of the Further Works, which will lead to the Company not satisfying the Expenditure Requirement and being in breach of its obligations under the +258 Agreement.

  • 2.7

Dividend policy

The Company does not expect to pay dividends in the near future as its focus will primarily be on growing the existing businesses.

Any future determination as to the payment of dividends by the Company will be at the discretion of the Directors and will depend upon matters such as the availability of distributable earnings, the operating results and financial condition of the Company, future capital requirements, general business and other factors considered relevant by the Directors. No assurances are given in relation to the payment of dividends, or that any dividends may attach franking credits.

3. Industrial Garnet market

This section provides a brief summary of the industrial garnet market and presents select research by both independent consulting companies and information researched and compiled by the Company. This Section should not be considered a comprehensive summary of the market and prospective investors should conduct their own research to further their understanding.

3.1 Industrial Garnet market

Industrial Garnet is primarily used in water jet cutting and as an industrial abrasive which together account for approximately 80% of total Garnet consumption worldwide. Approximately 896kt was consumed in 2020 (TZMI 2021).

Primary uses of Industrial garnet include:

  • (a) Water Jet Cutting;

  • (b) Abrasive Blasting;

  • (c) Water Filtration; and

  • (d) Abrasive Powders.

End use by region and by application in 2020 is presented in Figure 1. Total demand in 2020 was 896kt (TZMI Market Research January 2021).

==> picture [408 x 233] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 1: Market share by region and application 2020 (TZMI Jan 2021)

End use is typically determined by the shape and size of the garnet grains with coarser grains utilised for water filtration and abrasive blasting and finer grains favoured for water jet cutting applications.

Page 26

Water jet cutting is projected to drive demand through to 2030 adding approximately 395kt of demand to reach 938,000 tonnes of annual consumption. Overall demand for Garnet is expected to grow to 1,794,000 Tonnes by 2030 (TZMI Market Research January 2021).

==> picture [416 x 221] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 2: Demand growth for Garnet by region: 2020 - 2030

Alluvial Almandine Garnet has many physical properties that make it the preferred abrasive in many applications. Alluvial Almandine Garnet exhibits a high mohs hardness, low dust generation when used relative to other abrasives (unfractured grains), it is non-ferrous and inert and can often be recycled several times in typical end use scenarios. When these properties are considered, Alluvial Almandine Garnet use can often lead to overall cost savings and superior environmental and OH&S performance in comparison to other abrasives (Blast One Abrasive Selection Guide 2017).

Worldwide Garnet production increased steadily from 2002 to 2016 from c.781kT to a total worldwide production of c.1.6Mt (USGS Mineral Commodity summaries 2004 – 2018) driven by the shift away from silica containing abrasives (an occupational health and safety hazard) and the increased take up of water jet cutting in manufacturing.

2017 saw a significant disruption to the supply of industrial garnet attributed to export restrictions and a crackdown on illegal garnet mining in India and the Harts Range mine in the Northern Territory falling into receivership. Correspondingly, pricing for imported unrefined garnet peaked to over US$300 per tonne in the USA with global supply dropping to c.1,000,000T per annum (USGS Mineral Commodity Summary 2018 & 2019).

Demand for Garnet reduced from 2017 levels to 896kt in 2020 on the back of increased pricing and the COVID pandemic in 2020. Overall demand is forecast to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2% from 2020 levels to 1,794kt by 2030 (TZMI Market Research January 2021. Demand growth for Garnet by region 2020-2030 is presented in Figure 3.

Page 27

==> picture [404 x 317] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 3: Demand growth for Garnet by region 2020-2030 (TZMI Market Research January 2021)

Without supply from likely new projects and a restart of Indian mines, the overall supply deficit is expected to reach c.250kt in 2026 and 540kt by 2030. (TZMI Market Research January 2021). The Global supply/demand balance and indicative outlook to 2030 is presented in Figure 4 (TZMI Market Research January 2021 and HVY calculations - potential / likely supply not included given uncertainty of projects reaching production).

4. Risk Factors

As with any share investment, there are risks involved. This Section identifies the major areas of risk associated with an investment in the Company, but should not be taken as an exhaustive list of the potential risk factors to which the Company and its Shareholders are exposed. Potential investors should read the entire Prospectus and consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares.

Any investment in the Company under this Prospectus should be considered highly speculative.

4.1 Risks specific to the Company

(a) Limited history

The prospects of the Company must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in the early stages of their development, particularly in the mineral exploration sector, which has a high level of inherent risk and uncertainty. No assurance can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the successful exploration on, or mining development of, the Projects. Until the Company is able to realise value from the Projects, it is likely to incur operational losses.

(b)

Conditionality of Offers

The obligation of the Company to issue the Securities under the Offers is conditional on the matters set out in Section 1.6. If those conditions are not satisfied, the Company will not proceed with the Offers. Failure to complete the Offers may have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position.

(c)

Contractual risk

The ability of the Company to achieve its stated objectives may be materially affected by the performance of the obligations of various parties under certain agreements (details in Section 7). If any party defaults in the performance of its obligations, it may be necessary for the Company to approach a court to seek a legal remedy, which can be costly.

If the Company enters into agreements with third parties for the acquisition or divestment of equity interests in mineral exploration and mining projects, there are no guarantees that any such contractual obligations will be satisfied in part or in full. Further information relating to the Company's contractual risks relating to the Inhambane Project are set out in Sections 4.2(a) and 7.1(b).

(d)

Potential for dilution

On completion of the Offers and the subsequent issue of Shares pursuant to the Capital Raising Offer, the number of Shares in the Company will increase from 20,896,541 to 51,308,158 assuming the Minimum Subscription of the Offer is achieved. This means the number of Shares on issue will increase by approximately 146% on completion of the Offers. On this basis, existing Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Capital Raising Offer (and even if they do), their holdings may be considerably diluted (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Prospectus).

Page 30

(e) New projects and acquisitions

The Company will actively pursue and assess other new business opportunities in the resources sector. These new business opportunities may take the form of direct project acquisitions, joint ventures, farm-ins, acquisition of tenements/permits, and/or direct equity participation.

The acquisition of projects (whether completed or not) may require the payment of monies (as a deposit and/or exclusivity fee) after only limited due diligence or prior to the completion of comprehensive due diligence. There can be no guarantee that any proposed acquisition will be completed or be successful. If the proposed acquisition is not completed, monies advanced may not be recoverable, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company.

If an acquisition is completed, the Directors will need to reassess at that time, the funding allocated to current Projects and new projects, which may result in the Company reallocating funds from the Projects and/or raising additional capital (if available). Furthermore, notwithstanding that an acquisition may proceed upon the completion of due diligence, the usual risks associated with the new project/business activities will remain.

(f) Future capital requirements

The Company has no operating revenue and is unlikely to generate any operating revenue unless and until the Projects are successfully developed and production commences. The future capital requirements of the Company will depend on many factors including its business development activities. The Company believes its available cash and the net proceeds of the Capital Raising Offer should be adequate to fund its business development activities, exploration program and other Company objectives in the short term as stated in this Prospectus.

In order to successfully develop the Projects and for production to commence, the Company will require further financing in the future, in addition to amounts raised pursuant to the Offers. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to Shareholders, may be undertaken at lower prices than the then market price (or Offer Price) or may involve restrictive covenants which limit the Company's operations and business strategy. Debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities.

Although the Directors believe that additional capital can be obtained, no assurances can be made that appropriate capital or funding, if and when needed, will be available on terms favourable to the Company or at all. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its activities and this could have a material adverse effect on the Company's activities including resulting in the Tenements being subject to forfeiture, and could affect the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company may undertake additional offerings of Securities in the future. The increase in the number of Shares issued and outstanding and the possibility of sales of such Shares may have a depressive effect on the price of Shares. In addition, as a result of such additional Shares, the voting power of the Company's existing Shareholders will be diluted.

Page 31

At completion of the Capital Raising Offer, the Company will not have sufficient funds available to satisfy the Expenditure Requirements relating to the Inhambane Project. Accordingly, in the event the Company resolves to pursue the Inhambane Project, it may be required to partially fund the Expenditure Requirement from a future capital raising, which will be dilutive to Shareholders. The Company cautions investors not to place undue reliance on Company's retain its rights to the Inhambane Project in making an investment decision.

4.2 Mining Industry Risks

(a) Title and grant risk

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company has a 100% beneficial interest in the Port Gregory Tenements, which will be legally transferred to the Company subject to the receipt of an Admission Letter from the ASX, in which case, the transfer will occur 15 days after receiving the letter. The Port Gregory Tenements are currently held on trust for the Company under the Gianni Agreement. Refer to Section 7.1(a) for further details.

Pursuant to the Mining Act, an exploration licence cannot be transferred within the first 12 months of its grant unless consent from the Minister is obtained. E70/5314 (which is one of five tenements comprising the Port Gregory Project) is held by Mining Equities Pty Ltd and is within its first year of grant. Until it reaches its first year of grant (being 1 December 2021), it cannot be transferred without the prior written consent of the Minister. The Company intends to transfer the exploration licence after 1 December 2021.

Interests in all tenements in Western Australia are governed by state legislation and are evidenced by the granting of licences or leases. Each licence or lease is for a specific term and carries with it annual expenditure and reporting commitments, as well as other conditions requiring compliance. Consequently, the Company could lose title to or its interest in the Tenements if licence conditions are not met or if insufficient funds are available to meet expenditure commitments.

The Inhambane Project is a single exploration licence that reached its full term and the Company is awaiting the grant of the Mining Concession (the application for which was lodged on 11 March 2020). There is a risk that this concession may not be granted in its entirety, or at all, or only granted on conditions that unacceptable to the Company.

If the Mining Concession is not granted, the Company will not acquire an interest in the Inhambane Project. While the exploration licence has expired and the grant of the Mining Concession is still pending, the Solicitor's Report at Annexure C confirms that:

  • (i) Mozmin (Mauritius) Limited is able to continue to spend its budgeted exploration funds and enforce the rights granted under the former exploration licence;

  • (ii) all documents have been provided required in order for the Mining Concession to be granted; and

  • (iii) all the legal conditions for the granting of Mining Concession have been filed in accordance with the statutory requirements and, other than the matters

Page 32

raised in the Solicitor's Report, the Company is not aware of further information necessary to complete the Mining Concession Application.

The Solicitor's Report notes that transfers of interest that have occurred under the +258 Agreement (being Mozmin Mauritius' acquisition of 70% of the equity in +258 Limitada set out in Section 7.1(b)) and the Share Swap (being the Company's acquisition of 100% of the share capital of MRPL) have not received Government Approval. The Company has retrospectively commenced the process to obtain these approvals and is not aware of any reason why these approvals would not be granted, however, until such time as the approvals are received, the Company has set aside minimal funds to the Inhambane Project. There is no guarantee that the Government Approvals will be received and further, there is a likelihood that the approvals will require the payment of stamp duty. The Company understands that stamp duty rates vary between 0.1% to 10% of the face value of relevant documents. As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company anticipates that the stamp duty will be approximately USD 750.

(b) Exploration and development risks

Mineral exploration and development is a high-risk undertaking. There can be no assurance that exploration of the Projects or any other exploration properties that may be acquired in the future will result in the discovery of an economic resource.

Exploration in terrains with existing mineralisation endowments and known occurrences may slightly mitigate this risk.

Even if an apparently viable resource is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited due to various issues including lack of ongoing funding, adverse government policy, geological conditions, commodity prices or other technical difficulties.

The future exploration activities of the Company may be affected by a range of factors including geological conditions, limitations on activities due to seasonal weather patterns, unanticipated operational and technical difficulties, industrial and environmental accidents, native title process, changing government regulations and many other factors beyond the control of the Company.

The success of the Company will also depend upon the Company having access to sufficient development capital, being able to maintain title to its Projects and obtaining all required approvals for its activities. In the event that exploration programs are unsuccessful, this could lead to a diminution in the value of its Projects, a reduction in the cash reserves of the Company and possible relinquishment of part or all of its Projects.

(c) Metallurgy

Metal and/or mineral recoveries are dependent upon the metallurgical process that is required to liberate economic minerals and produce a saleable product and by nature contain elements of significant risk such as:

  • (i) identifying a metallurgical process through test work to produce a saleable metal and/or concentrate;

Page 33

  • (ii) developing an economic process route to produce a metal and/or concentrate; and

  • (iii) changes in mineralogy in the ore deposit can result in inconsistent metal recovery, affecting the economic viability of the project.

(d)

Resource estimation risks

Whilst the Company intends to undertake exploration activities with the aim of defining a resource, no assurances can be given that the exploration will result in the determination of an economic resource. Even if a resource is identified, no assurance can be provided that this can be economically extracted. The calculation and interpretation of resource estimates are by their nature expressions of judgment based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates which were valid when originally calculated may alter significantly through additional fieldwork or when new information or techniques become available. This may result in alterations to development and mining plans, which may in turn adversely affect the Company’s operations.

(e) Payment obligations

Pursuant to the licences comprising the Projects, the Company will become subject to payment and other obligations. In particular, holders are required to expend the funds necessary to meet the minimum work commitments attaching to the Tenements. Failure to meet these work commitments may render the Tenements subject to forfeiture or result in the holders being liable for fees. Further, if any contractual obligations are not complied with when due, in addition to any other remedies that may be available to other parties, this could result in dilution or forfeiture of the Company's interest in the Projects. Further details of these conditions and obligations are set out in section Schedule 1 of the Solicitor's Report at Annexure B.

The Company has a particular Expenditure Requirement in respect of the +258 Agreement relating to the Inhambane Project, which is yet to be met, notwithstanding that the +258 Agreement required the Expenditure Requirement to be met by 19 April 2021.

Section 5.5.1 of the Solicitor's Report at Annexure C sets out that, should a force majeure event (being an event occur that is beyond the control of either party) that would preclude the Company from meeting the minimum Expenditure Requirement of USD 1,500,000, then prescribed time frame to meet the total expenditure amount will be automatically extended through the time that event occurs. The Solicitor's Report confirms that the Company has until 19 April 2023 to meet the Expenditure Requirement and the Company has provided notice to Galilei of its reliance on the force majeure clause under the +258 Agreement.

While the Company has sought a legal opinion on its ability to rely on the force majeure clause of the +258 Agreement (as set out in the Solicitor's Report at Annexure C), there is a risk that if such advice is incorrect, the Company may have unmet obligations under the +258 Agreement, which could give rise to termination of the +258 Agreement.

As set out in Section 4.2(a), the Company has set aside minimal funds to the Inhambane Project. In the event the Company is able to resolve the title and grant risk set out in Section 4.2(a) and payment obligations set out in Section 4.2(e), it may elect

Page 34

to spend further funds on the Inhambane Project. In the event further funds are spent on Inhambane, the Company intends that these funds will first be drawn from budgeted working capital and future acquisition costs. However, it is likely that the Company will be required to undertake a future capital raising in order to satisfy the Expenditure Requirement by 19 April 2023. In the event that the Company is unable to satisfy the Expenditure Requirement it will be in breach of its obligations under the +258 Agreement, which could give rise to the termination of the +258 Agreement.

For the reasons set out above, the Company cautions investors not to place undue reliance on Company's ability to secure its rights to the Inhambane Project in making an investment decision.

(f) Minerals and currency price volatility

The Company's ability to proceed with the development of its Projects and benefit from any future mining operations will depend on market factors, some of which may be beyond its control. It is anticipated that any revenues derived from mining will primarily be derived from the sale of industrial minerals (including but not limited to garnet, zircon and titanium dioxide containing minerals). Consequently, any future earnings are likely to be closely related to the price of these minerals and the terms of any off-take agreements that the Company enters into.

The world market for minerals is subject to many variables and may fluctuate markedly. These variables include forward selling by producers and production cost levels in major mineral-producing regions. Mineral prices are also affected by macroeconomic factors such as general global economic conditions and expectations regarding inflation and interest rates. These factors may have an adverse effect on the Company's exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.

Minerals are principally sold throughout the world in US dollars. The Company's cost base will be payable in various currencies including Australian dollars and US dollars. As a result, any significant and/or sustained fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Australian dollar and the US dollar could have a materially adverse effect on the Company's operations, financial position (including revenue and profitability) and performance. The Company may undertake measures, where deemed necessary by the Board to mitigate such risks.

(g) Competition risk

The industry in which the Company will be involved is subject to domestic and global competition, including major mineral exploration and production companies. Although the Company will undertake all reasonable due diligence in its business decisions and operations, the Company will have no influence or control over the activities or actions of its competitors, which activities or actions may, positively or negatively, affect the operating and financial performance of the Company's Projects and business.

Some of the Company's competitors have greater financial and other resources than the Company and, as a result, may be in a better position to compete for future business opportunities. Many of the Company's competitors not only explore for and produce minerals, but also carry out refining operations and other products on a worldwide basis. There can be no assurance that the Company can compete effectively with these companies.

Page 35

(h) Sovereign risk

The Company's Inhambane Project in Mozambique is subject to the risks associated in operating in a foreign country. These risks may include economic, social or political instability or change, hyperinflation, currency non-convertibility or instability and changes of law affecting foreign ownership, government participation, taxation, working conditions, rates of exchange, exchange control, exploration licensing, export duties, repatriation of income or return of capital, environmental protection, labour relations as well as government control over natural resources or government regulations that require the employment of local staff or contractors or require other benefits to be provided to local residents.

Any future material adverse changes in government policies or legislation in foreign jurisdictions in which the Company has projects that affect foreign ownership, exploration, development or activities of companies involved in exploration and production, may affect the viability and profitability of the Company.

In March 2021, there was a terrorist attack in Palma in Mozambique's Cabo Delgado province, which led to the killing of local inhabitants and foreigners involved in a major liquefied natural gas project. While the terrorist attacks were approximately 2,280 kilometres away (calculated via recognised roads rather than as the crow flies) from the Inhambane Project, the Company will continue to monitor the risk of terrorist activities in Mozambique. It is possible that further attacks could occur in Mozambique, both in Cabo Delgado and in other provinces. Future terrorist attacks in the country could present a danger to the lives and wellbeing of the Company's in-country staff and contractors and could adversely affect the viability and profitability of the Company.

(i)

Land access risk

Land access is critical for exploration and/or exploitation to succeed. It requires both access to the mineral rights and access to the surface rights. Minerals rights may be negotiated and acquired. In all cases the acquisition of prospective exploration and mining licences is a competitive business, in which proprietary knowledge or information is critical and the ability to negotiate satisfactory commercial arrangements with other parties is often essential. The Company may not be successful in acquiring or obtaining the necessary licences to conduct exploration or evaluation activities outside of the mineral tenements.

(j)

Farm-in or joint venture risk

The Company operates its Inhambane Project with third parties through a joint venture. The Company may be adversely affected by the financial failure, withdrawal or default of its partners. This may have an adverse effect on the operations and performance of the Company.

(k)

Native title risks

The Company is aware that there is 1 registered native title determination (in the name of Yamatji Nation) within the area covered by the Port Gregory Tenements. Refer to paragraph 7.12 of the Solicitor's Report at Annexure B for further details.

Further, the Port Gregory Tenements are subject to the 'Yamatji Nation Agreement' Indigenous Land Use Agreement ( lLUA ). The ILUA is a standard agreement that is

Page 36

binding on the parties (which includes the State of Western Australia) and acts as an alternative to a determination of native title over the area. Specifically, E70/5314 has been granted subject to a condition in respect to the ILUA. Refer to paragraph 7.13 of the Solicitor's Report at Annexure B for further details.

There remains a risk that in the future, native title and/or registered native title claims may affect the land the subject of the Port Gregory Tenements or in the vicinity.

The existence of native title claims over the area covered by the Port Gregory Tenements, or a subsequent determination of native title over the area, will not impact the rights or interests of the holder provided the Port Gregory Tenements have been validly granted in accordance with the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) ( Native Title Act ).

However, if any of the Port Gregory Tenements were not validly granted in compliance with the Native Title Act, this may have an adverse impact on the Company's activities.

The grant of any future tenure to the Company over areas that are covered by registered claims or determinations will likely require engagement with the relevant claimants or native title holders (as relevant) in accordance with the Native Title Act.

(l)

Aboriginal heritage risk

The Company is aware that there are 10 registered Aboriginal heritage sites, 2 registered 'other' Aboriginal heritage places and 6 applications for 'other' Aboriginal heritage places which are either registered or have been lodged within tenements E66/102, E70/5130 and E70/5161 comprising the Port Gregory Project.

The Tenements are also subject to a heritage agreement which imposes exclusion zones of up to 300 metres prohibiting exploration activities around certain Aboriginal sites located on Tenements E66/102 and E70/5161.

Refer to paragraph 8.5 of the Solicitor's Report at Annexure B for further details.

There remains a risk that additional Aboriginal sites may exist on the land the subject of tenements E66/102, E70/5130 and E70/5161. The existence of such sites may preclude or limit mining activities in certain areas of those tenements.

(m) Third party risks

Under Western Australian and Commonwealth legislation, the Company may be required to obtain the consent of and/or pay compensation to the holders of third-party interests which overlay areas within the Port Gregory Tenements, including pastoral leases, petroleum tenure and other mining tenure in respect of exploration or mining activities on the Port Gregory Tenements.

All of the Port Gregory Tenements overlap File Notation Areas. In respect to the File Notation Areas, third party tenure and access rights may be granted in the future. Refer to paragraph 9.1 of the Solicitor's Report at Annexure B for further details.

Any delays in respect of conflicting third-party rights, obtaining necessary consents, or compensation obligations, may adversely impact the Company's ability to carry out exploration or mining activities within the affected areas.

Page 37

(n) Environmental risk

The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to State and Federal laws and regulations concerning the environment. As with most exploration projects and mining operations, the Company's activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if advanced exploration or field development proceeds. It is the Company's intention to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws.

The cost and complexity of complying with the applicable environmental laws and regulations may prevent the Company from being able to develop potentially economically viable mineral deposits.

Although the Company believes that it is in compliance in all material respects with all applicable environmental laws and regulations, there are certain risks inherent to its activities, such as accidental spills, leakages or other unforeseen circumstances, which could subject the Company to extensive liability.

Government authorities may, from time to time, review the environmental bonds that are placed on permits. The Directors are not in a position to state whether a review is imminent or whether the outcome of such a review would be detrimental to the funding needs of the Company.

The Inhambane Project lies within a coastal protection zone. The National Mining Institute (Instituto Nacional de Minas) of Mozambique is in the process of resizing mining licences that cover the coastal protection zone and as a result, it is possible that the Mining Concession will be affected by the resizing process. The potential resizing is not expected to impact on the mineral resource estimate.

The land the subject of tenements E66/102, E70/5130, E70/5160 and E70/5161 comprising part of the Port Gregory Project, overlap several crown reserves. Prior to conducting activities on the reserves, the Company will be required to seek certain consents and approvals. Refer to paragraph 9.4 of the Solicitor's Report at Annexure B for further details.

Further, the Company may require approval from the relevant authorities before it can undertake activities that are likely to impact the environment. Failure to obtain such approvals will prevent the Company from undertaking its desired activities. The Company is unable to predict the effect of additional environmental laws and regulations, which may be adopted in the future, including whether any such laws or regulations would materially increase the Company's cost of doing business or affect its operations in any area.

The Company is aware that tenements E70/5161 and E70/5314 comprising part of the Port Gregory Project, encroach on sites which have been gazetted as “rare flora” under the Wildlife Conservation Act 1950 (WA) and E70/5161 encroaches a threatened ecological community. These Tenements have been granted with endorsements requiring the Company to contact the Western Australian Department of Biodiversity Conservation and Attractions to receive details and information on the management of the rare flora and the threatened ecological community. Refer to paragraph 9.2 of the Solicitor's Report at Annexure B for further details.

Further, tenements E66/102, E70/5130 and E70/5161 comprising part of the Port Gregory Project, encroach on areas which are dieback risk zones and are subject to

Page 38

conditions whereby a dieback management plan must be provided to the Western Australian Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety for assessment and approval before exploration activities can commence. Refer to paragraph 9.3 of the Solicitor's Report at Annexure B for further details.

There can be no assurances that new environmental laws, regulations or stricter enforcement policies, once implemented, will not oblige the Company to incur significant expenses and undertake significant investments in such respect which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

(o) Licences, permits and approvals

On completion of the transfer of title of the Port Gregory Tenements, the Company will hold all material authorisations required to undertake the exploration programs described in this Prospectus. However, many of the mineral rights and interests to be held by the Company are subject to the need for ongoing or new government approvals, licences and permits. These requirements, including work permits and environmental approvals, will change as the Company's operations develop. Delays in obtaining, or the inability to obtain, required authorisations may significantly impact on the Company's operations.

(p) Heritage and sociological risk

Some of the Tenements which the Company proposes to mine may be of significance from a heritage or sociological perspective, including Native Title issues. Some sites of significance may be identified within the Tenements and the Company may be hindered by legal and cultural restrictions on mining those Tenements. The Native Title Act recognises and protects the rights and interests in Australia of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in land and waters, according to their traditional laws and customs. There is significant uncertainty associated with Native Title in Australia and this may impact on the Company's operations and future plans.

(q) Commodity and currency price risk

If the Company achieves success leading to mineral production, the revenue it will derive through the sale of commodities exposes the potential income of the Company to commodity price and exchange rate risks. Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by many factors beyond the control of the Company. Such factors include supply and demand fluctuations for precious and base metals, technological advancements, forward selling activities and other macro-economic factors.

Furthermore, international prices of various commodities are denominated in United States dollars, whereas the income and expenditure of the Company are and will be taken into account in Australian currency, exposing the Company to the fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and the Australian dollar as determined in international markets.

(r) Tenure and access risk

As the Company's rights in the Tenements may be obtained by grant by regulatory authorities or be subject to contracts with third parties, any third party may terminate or rescind the relevant agreement whether lawfully or not and, accordingly, the Company may lose its rights to exclusive use of, and access to any, or all, of the

Page 39

Tenements. Third parties may also default on their obligations under the contracts which may lead to termination of the contracts. Additionally, the Company may not be able to access the Tenements due to natural disasters or adverse weather conditions, political unrest, hostilities or failure to obtain the relevant approvals and consents.

(s)

Reliance on key personnel

The Company is reliant on a number of key personnel and consultants, including members of the Board. The loss of one or more of these key contributors could have an adverse impact on the business of the Company.

It may be particularly difficult for the Company to attract and retain suitably qualified and experienced people given the current high demand in the industry and relatively small size of the Company, compared with other industry participants.

(t)

Conflicts of interest

Certain Directors are also directors and officers of other companies engaged in mineral exploration and development and mineral property acquisitions. Accordingly, mineral exploration opportunities or prospects of which these Directors become aware may not necessarily be made available to the Company in the first instance. Although these Directors have been advised of their fiduciary duties to the situations that could arise in which their obligations to, or interests in, the Company, there exists actual and potential conflicts of interest among these persons.

4.3 General Risks

(a) Economic risks

General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates, the prevailing global commodity prices and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company's exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.

As with any exploration or mining project, the economics are sensitive to metal and commodity prices. Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by many factors beyond the control of the Company. Such factors include supply and demand fluctuations for minerals, technological advances, forward selling activities and other macro-economic factors. These prices may fluctuate to a level where the proposed mining operations are not profitable. Should the Company achieve success leading to mineral production, the revenue it will derive through the sale of commodities also exposes potential income of the Company to commodity price and exchange rate risks.

(b) Market conditions

The market price of the Shares can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general and resource exploration stocks in particular.

Further, share market conditions may affect the value of the Company's quoted Shares regardless of the Company's operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:

Page 40

  • (i) general economic outlook;

  • (ii) interest rates and inflation rates;

  • (iii) currency fluctuations;

  • (iv) changes in investor sentiment;

  • (v) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and

  • (vi) terrorism or other hostilities.

Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.

(c)

Force majeure

The Company's Projects now or in the future may be adversely affected by risks outside the control of the Company including labour unrest, subversive activities or sabotage, fires, floods, explosions or other catastrophes.

(d)

Government and legal risk

Changes in government, monetary policies, taxation and other laws can have a significant impact on the Company's assets, operations and ultimately the financial performance of the Company and its Shares. Such changes are likely to be beyond the control of the Company and may affect industry profitability as well as the Company's capacity to explore and mine.

The Company is not aware of any reviews or changes that would affect the Projects. However, changes in community attitudes on matters such as taxation, competition policy and environmental issues may bring about reviews and possibly changes in government policies. There is a risk that such changes may affect the Company's development plans or its rights and obligations in respect of its Projects. Any such government action may also require increased capital or operating expenditures and could prevent or delay certain operations by the Company.

(e)

Litigation risks

The Company is exposed to possible litigation risks including native title claims, tenure disputes, environmental claims, occupational health and safety claims and employee claims. Further, the Company may be involved in disputes with other parties in the future which may result in litigation. Any such claim or dispute if proven, may impact adversely on the Company's operations, financial performance and financial position. Investors are cautioned that, in the event the Company is unable to satisfy the Inhambane Obligations in a manner satisfactory to Galilei, there is the potential for a dispute to arise in respect of the +258 Agreement. Any material litigation is likely to adversely affect the financial position of the Company. The Company is not currently engaged in any litigation and is not aware of any threatened litigation.

(f)

Insurance risks

The Company intends to insure its operations in accordance with industry practice. However, in certain circumstances, the Company's insurance may not be of a nature or level to provide adequate insurance cover. The occurrence of an event that is not

Page 41

covered or fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of the Company. Insurance against all risks associated with mining exploration and production is not always available and where available the costs can be prohibitive.

(g) Taxation

The acquisition and disposal of Securities will have tax consequences, which will differ depending on the individual financial affairs of each investor. All potential investors in the Company are urged to obtain independent financial advice about the consequences of acquiring Securities from a taxation point of view and generally.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company, its officers and each of their respective advisers accept no liability and responsibility with respect to the taxation consequences of applying for Shares under this Prospectus.

(h) Unforeseen expenditure risk

Expenditure may need to be incurred that has not been taken into account by the Company. Although the Company is not aware of any such additional expenditure requirements, if such expenditure is subsequently incurred, this may adversely affect the expenditure proposals of the Company.

(i)

Climate change risks

Climate change is a risk the Company has considered, particularly related to its operations in the mining industry. The climate change risks particularly attributable to the Company include:

  • (i) the emergence of new or expanded regulations associated with the transitioning to a lower-carbon economy and market changes related to climate change mitigation. The Company may be impacted by changes to local or international compliance regulations related to climate change mitigation efforts, or by specific taxation or penalties for carbon emissions or environmental damage. These examples sit amongst an array of possible restraints on industry that may further impact the Company and its profitability. While the Company will endeavour to manage these risks and limit any consequential impacts, there can be no guarantee that the Company will not be impacted by these occurrences; and

  • (ii) climate change may cause certain physical and environmental risks that cannot be predicted by the Company, including events such as increased severity of weather patterns and incidence of extreme weather events and longer term physical risks such as shifting climate patterns. All these risks associated with climate change may significantly change the industry in which the Company operates.

(j)

Infectious diseases

The outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is having a material effect on global economic markets. The global economic outlook is facing uncertainty due to the pandemic, which has had and may continue to have a significant impact on capital markets.

Page 42

The Company's Share price may be adversely affected by the economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19. Further measures to limit the transmission of the virus implemented by governments around the world (such as travel bans and quarantining) may adversely impact the Company's operations and may interrupt the Company carrying out its contractual obligations or cause disruptions to supply chains.

As at the date of the Prospectus, the Company is not aware of any government restrictions that will impede its ability to expend funds on either the Port Gregory or Inhambane Project, however, it is possible that future COVID-19 outbreaks may cause temporary restrictions in the mobility of personnel or equipment necessary for undertaking exploration and development.

4.4 Speculative investment

The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the Shares offered under this Prospectus.

Therefore, the Securities to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those Securities.

Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is highly speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Securities pursuant to this Prospectus.

Page 43

5. Financial Information

5.1

Speculative investment

The Independent Limited Assurance Report contained in Annexure A sets out:

  • (a) the audited historical Statements of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income and Statement of Cash flows from the period of incorporation; and

  • (b) the audited historical Statement of Financial Position from the period of incorporation,

(together, the Historical Financial Information ), and

  • (a) the pro forma historical Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 2020,

(collectively referred to as the Financial Information ).

The Directors are responsible for the preparation and inclusion of the Financial Information in the Prospectus.

Criterion has prepared an Independent Limited Assurance Report and a copy of this report, which includes an explanation of the scope and limitations of the Investigating Accountant’s work, is set out in Annexure A. Prospective Investors are urged to read the Independent Limited Assurance Report in full and to consult your professional adviser(s) if you have any questions.

5.2 Forecast financial information

There are significant uncertainties associated with forecasting future revenues and expenses of the Company. In light of uncertainty as to timing and outcome of the Company's growth strategies and the general nature of the industry in which the Company will operate, as well as uncertain macro market and economic conditions in the Company's markets, the Company's performance in any future period cannot be reliably estimated. On these bases and after considering ASIC Regulatory Guide 170, the Directors do not believe they have a reasonable basis to reliably forecast future earnings and accordingly forecast financials are not included in this Prospectus.

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of preparation

The historical financial information has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement requirements of Australian Accounting Standards and the accounting policies adopted by Heavy Minerals as detailed below. The pro forma financial information has been derived from the historical financial information and assumes the completion of the pro forma adjustments as set out above as if those adjustments had occurred as at 31 December 2020. The financial information contained in this section of the Prospectus is presented in an abbreviated form and does not contain all the disclosures that are provided in a financial report prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act and Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations.

Going concern

The financial information has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The ability of the Consolidated Entity to continue to pay its debts as and when they fall due is principally dependent upon the Consolidated Entity successfully raising additional share capital and the successful listing of the Consolidated Entity on the ASX. These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Consolidated Entity to continue as a going concern. The Directors have prepared a cash flow forecast, which indicates that the Consolidated Entity will have sufficient cash flows to meet all commitments and working capital requirements for the 24 month period from the date of the prospectus. Based on the cash flow forecasts and other factors referred to above, the Directors are satisfied that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Heavy Minerals Limited ('Company' or 'parent entity') and the results of all subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Consolidated Entity has control. The Consolidated Entity controls an entity when the Consolidated Entity is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Consolidated Entity. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Consolidated Entity. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Consolidated entities are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred.

Foreign currency translation

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss.

Page 51

Current and non-current classification

Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification. An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.

Significant management judgement in applying accounting policies and estimate uncertainty Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the Consolidated Entity and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The key estimates and judgements that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

Exploration assets

The application of the Consolidated Entity’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure requires judgement in determining whether it is likely that future economic benefits are likely either from future exploitation or sale or where activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves.

Income taxes and recoverability of deferred tax assets

Recognition of deferred tax assets depends on the management’s expectation of future taxable profit that will be available against which tax losses can be utilised. The outcome of the actual expenditure may be different.

Income tax

The income tax expense or credit for the year is the tax payable on the current year's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction. Income tax on profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Current and deferred tax is recognised in statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. Current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the Company’s subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred tax

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Page 52

Deferred tax assets are recognised only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the Consolidated Entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Goods and services and sales tax

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other assets or liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position. Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows.

Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of presentation in the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Trade and other receivables

Receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any impairment losses. This category generally applies to trade and other receivables. Trade and other receivables are generally due for settlement within no more than 30 days from the date of recognition. Due to their current nature, the carrying amount of trade and other receivables approximates fair value. The carrying amount of trade and other receivables is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the loss is recognised in the profit or loss.

Exploration assets

Exploration and evaluation expenditure in relation to each separate area of interest are recognised as an exploration and evaluation asset in the year in which they are incurred where the following conditions are satisfied:

  • the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current; and

  • at least one of the following conditions is also met:

  • the exploration and evaluation expenditure are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploration of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; or

  • exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not, at the reporting date, reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.

Page 53

Exploration and evaluation assets are initially measured at cost and include acquisition of rights to explore, studies, exploratory drilling, trenching and sampling and associated activities and an allocation of depreciation and amortisation of assets used in exploration and evaluation activities. General and administrative costs are only included in the measurement of exploration and evaluation costs where they are related directly to operational activities in a particular area of interest. Indirect costs that are included in the cost of an exploration and evaluation asset include, among other things, charges for depreciation of equipment used in exploration and evaluation activities. If an area of interest is abandoned or is considered to be of no further commercial interest, the accumulated exploration costs relating to the area are written off against income in the year of abandonment. Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the exploration and evaluation asset (or the cash-generating unit(s) to which it has been allocated, being no larger than the relevant area of interest) is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

Where a decision has been made to proceed with development in respect of a particular area of interest, the relevant exploration and evaluation asset is tested for impairment and the balance is then reclassified to development.

Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Consolidated Entity prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting date. They are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Borrowings

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Consolidated Entity has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

Contributed equity

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

6.8 ASX Corporate Governance Council Principles and Recommendations

The Company has adopted comprehensive systems of control and accountability as the basis for the administration of corporate governance. The Board is committed to administering the Company's policies and procedures with openness and integrity, pursuing the true spirit of corporate governance commensurate with the Company's needs.

To the extent applicable, the Company has adopted the 4[th] edition of the ASX Corporate Governance Council's Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations ( Recommendations ).

In light of the Company's size and nature, the Board considers that the current Board is a cost effective and practical method of directing and managing the Company. As the Company's activities develop in size, nature and scope, the size of the Board and the implementation of additional corporate governance policies and structures will be reviewed.

The Company's main corporate governance policies and practices as at the date of this Prospectus are detailed below. The Company's full Corporate Governance Plan is available in

Page 62

a dedicated corporate governance information section of the Company's website at https://heavyminerals.com/corporate-governance/.

(a)

Board of Directors

The Board is responsible for the corporate governance of the Company. The Board develops strategies for the Company, reviews strategic objectives and monitors performance against those objectives. Clearly articulating the division of responsibilities between the Board and management will help manage expectations and avoid misunderstandings about their respective roles and accountabilities.

In general, the Board assumes (amongst others) the following responsibilities:

  • (i) formulation and approval of the strategic direction, objective and goals of the Company;

  • (ii) the prudential control of the Company's finances and operations, and monitoring the financial performance of the Company;

  • (iii) the resourcing, review and monitoring of Senior Management;

  • (iv) ensuring that adequate internal control systems and procedures exist and that compliance with these systems and procedures is maintained;

  • (v) the identification of significant business risks and ensuring that such risks are adequately managed;

  • (vi) the timeliness, accuracy and effectiveness of communications and reporting to shareholders and the market; and

  • (vii) the establishment and maintenance of appropriate ethical standards.

The Company is committed to ensuring that appropriate checks are undertaken before the appointment of a Director and has in place written agreements with each Director which detail the terms of their appointment.

(b)

Composition of the Board

Election of Board members is substantially the province of the Shareholders in a general meeting. The Board currently consists of the one Executive Director and three Non-Executive Directors (one of which the Company considers independent, being Gregory Jones). As the Company's activities develop in size, nature and scope, the composition of the Board and the implementation of additional corporate governance policies and structures will be reviewed.

(c)

Internal audit function and management of risk

The Company will not have an independent internal audit function until such time as the Board is of a sufficient size and structure, and the Company's operations are of a sufficient magnitude for a separate committee to be of benefit to the Company.

The Company considers that it has the ability to derive substantially all the benefits of an internal audit function through the Board, which performs all key elements of an internal audit function, including:

Page 63

  • (i) evaluating and seeking and obtaining reasonable assurance that risk management, control and governance systems are functioning as intended and will enable the Company's objectives and goals to be met;

  • (ii) evaluating information security and associated risk exposures;

  • (iii) evaluating regulatory compliance programs with consultation from internal and external legal counsel;

  • (iv) evaluating the Company's preparedness in case of business interruption; and

  • (v) providing oversight of the Company's anti-fraud program.

The Board's collective experience will assist in the identification of the principal risks that may affect the Company's business. Key operational risks and their management will be recurring items for deliberation at Board meetings.

(d)

Ethical standards

The Board is committed to the establishment and maintenance of appropriate ethical standards.

(e) Independent professional advice

Subject to the Chairman's approval (not to be unreasonably withheld), the Directors, at the Company's expense, may obtain independent professional advice on issues arising in the course of their duties.

(f)

Remuneration committee

The Company will not have a standalone remuneration committee until such time as the Board is of a sufficient size and structure, and the Company's operations are of a sufficient magnitude for a separate committee to be of benefit to the Company.

In the meantime, the full Board will carry out the duties that would ordinarily be assigned to that committee under the written terms of reference for that committee, including but not limited to:

  • (i) reviewing the remuneration (including short-and long-term incentive schemes and equity-based remuneration, where applicable) and performance of Directors;

  • (ii) setting policies for Senior Executive remuneration, setting the terms and conditions of employment for Senior Executives, undertaking reviews of Senior Executive performance, including setting goals and reviewing progress in achieving those goals; and

  • (iii) reviewing the Company's Senior Executive and employee incentive schemes (including equity-based remuneration) (where applicable) and making recommendations to the Non-Executive Chair on any proposed changes.

(g) Remuneration policy

The remuneration of any Executive Director will be decided by the Board, without the affected Executive Director participating in that decision-making process.

Page 64

In addition, subject to any necessary Shareholder approval, a Director may be paid fees or other amounts as the Directors determine where a Director performs special duties or otherwise performs services outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a Director (e.g. non-cash performance incentives such as options).

Directors are also entitled to be paid reasonable travel and other expenses incurred by them in the course of the performance of their duties as Directors.

The Board reviews and approves the Company's remuneration policy in order to ensure that the Company is able to attract and retain executives and Directors who will create value for Shareholders, having regard to the amount considered to be commensurate for an entity of the Company's size and level of activity as well as the relevant Directors' time, commitment and responsibility.

The Board is also responsible for reviewing any employee incentive and equity-based plans including the appropriateness of performance hurdles and total payments proposed.

(h)

Securities trading policy

The Board has adopted a policy that sets out the guidelines on the sale and purchase of securities in the Company by its key management personnel (i.e. Directors and, if applicable, any employees reporting directly to the Executive Directors). The policy generally provides that the written acknowledgement of the Chairman (or the Board in the case of the Chairman) must be obtained prior to trading.

(i)

Diversity policy

The Board values diversity and recognises the benefits it can bring to the organisation's ability to achieve its goals. Accordingly, the Company has set in place a diversity policy. The overriding objective of the Diversity Policy is to align the Company's business operations with the positive outcomes that can be achieved through a diverse workforce that recognises and utilises the contribution of its diverse skills and talent. The Diversity Policy also seeks to ensure that the Company has a properly functioning workplace where discrimination, harassment and victimisation are not tolerated. Under the Diversity Policy, the Company will disclose at the end of each reporting period the respective proportions of men and women on theBoard and in senior executive positions.

Given the current size and low turnover of the Company, the Board has determined that the benefits of the initiatives recommended by the ASX Corporate Governance Council are disproportionate to the costs involved in implementing such strategies including compliance with the requirement for the Company to set measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity.

(j)

Audit committee

The Company will not have a separate audit committee until such time as the Board is of a sufficient size and structure, and the Company's operations are of a sufficient magnitude for a separate committee to be of benefit to the Company.

In the meantime, the full Board will carry out the duties that would ordinarily be assigned to that committee under the written terms of reference for that committee, including but not limited to:

Page 65

  • (i) verifying and safeguarding the integrity of the Company's stakeholder reporting;

  • (ii) reviewing and approving the audited annual and reviewed half-yearly financial reports;

  • (iii) reviewing the appointment of the external auditor, their independence and performance, the audit fee, any questions of their resignation or dismissal and assessing the scope and adequacy of the external audit; and

  • (iv) a risk management function.

(k) Risk committee

The Company will not have a separate risk committee until such time as the Board is of a sufficient size and structure, and the Company's operations are of a sufficient magnitude for a separate committee to be of benefit to the Company.

In the meantime, the full Board will carry out the duties that would ordinarily be assigned to that committee under the written terms of reference for that committee, including but not limited to:

  • (i) ensuring that an appropriate risk-management framework is in place and is operating properly; and

  • (ii) reviewing and monitoring legal and policy compliance systems and issues.

(l)

External audit

The Company in general meetings is responsible for the appointment of the external auditors of the Company, and the Board from time to time will review the scope, performance and fees of those external auditors.

(m) Social media policy

The Board has adopted a social media policy to regulate the use of social media by people associated with the Company or its subsidiaries to preserve the Company's reputation and integrity. The policy outlines requirements for compliance with confidentiality, governance, legal, privacy and regulatory parameters when using social media to conduct Company business.

(n)

Whistleblower policy

The Board has adopted a whistleblower protection policy to ensure concerns regarding unacceptable conduct including breaches of the Company's code of conduct can be raised on a confidential basis, without fear of reprisal, dismissal or discriminatory treatment. The purpose of this policy is to promote responsible whistle blowing about issues where the interests of others, including the public, or of the organisation itself are at risk.

(o)

Anti-bribery and anti-corruption policy

The Board has a zero-tolerance approach to bribery and corruption and is committed to acting professionally, fairly and with integrity in all business dealings. The Board has adopted an anti-bribery and anti-corruption policy for the purpose of setting out

Page 66

the responsibilities in observing and upholding the Company's position on bribery and corruption provide information and guidance to those working for the Company on how to recognise and deal with bribery and corruption issues.

(p) Work health and safety policy

The Company has adopted a work health and safety policy and is committed to providing and maintaining a safe and healthy workplace for all workers (including contractors and volunteers) as well as clients, visitors and members of the public. The purpose of the policy is to set out the responsibility of the Directors, management and workers for health and safety in the workplace and to ensure that the Company’s goal to provide a safe and healthy work environment, free from workplace injury and illness is achieved through the participation of everyone in the workplace.

6.9 Departures from Recommendations

Following admission to the Official List, the Company will be required to report any departures from the Recommendations in its annual financial report.

The Company's compliance and departures from the Recommendations as at the date of this Prospectus are detailed in the table below.

Nomination Committee is an
unnecessary measure for the

7. Material Contracts

The Directors consider that certain contracts entered into by the Company are material to the Company or are of such a nature that an investor may wish to have particulars of them when assessing whether to apply for Securities under the Offers. The provisions of such material contracts are summarised in this Section.

7.1

Acquisition Agreements

  • (a) Gianni Agreement - Port Gregory Project

The Company (through its wholly owned subsidiary Mozmin Resources Pty Ltd) has entered into a binding terms sheet with Peter Romeo Gianni ( Gianni , an unrelated party to the Company) dated 30 March 2020, as amended on 22 March 2021 ( Gianni Agreement ), pursuant to which the Company has agreed to acquire 100% legal and beneficial ownership of exploration licences EL66/102, EL70/5130, EL70/5160, EL70/5161 and EL70/5314 ( Gianni Tenements ).

Pursuant to the Gianni Agreement, the following consideration is payable for the acquisition:

  • (i) the issue of 2,240,010 Shares in the Company to Gianni (or his nominees);

  • (ii) the issue of 1,000,000 unquoted Options in the Company to Gianni (or his nominees), exercisable at $0.25 each and expiring 3 years from the date of Admission ( Gianni Options ); and

  • (iii) the payment of $50,000 by the Company to Gianni following the date on which the Company receives a conditional admission letter from the ASX ( Admission Letter ).

Completion will occur within 15 days of the Company receiving an Admission Letter from the ASX. In the event the Admission Letter is not received on or before 31 August 2021, then the Gianni Agreement terminates (unless otherwise agreed).

Gianni is currently holding the legal title to the Gianni Tenements on trust for the Company, and must provide the Company with access to the Gianni Tenements to conduct exploration until legal title in all of the Gianni Tenements passes to the Company.

The Company has also agreed to pay Gianni a royalty of 2.0% of the gross revenue of the sale of any minerals extracted, produced and sold from the Gianni Tenements.

Should the Company surrender any of the Gianni Tenements following the execution date, it must offer to sell the Tenements to Gianni for an agreed price of $10.00 per Tenement, at which time Gianni will have 1 month to accept the offer.

The Gianni Agreement contains additional provisions considered standard for agreements of this nature.

  • (b) +258 Agreement - Inhambane Project

The Company (through its wholly owned subsidiary MRPL and Mozmin Mauritius) has entered into a binding terms sheet with +258 Limitada ( +258 ) (an incorporated joint

Page 73

venture entity) and Galilei LDA ( Galilei ) (an unrelated party to the Company) dated 19 April 2016 ( +258 Agreement ). The +258 Agreement acknowledges that +258 is the legal and beneficial owner of exploration licence 4658L, which is now expired. The grant of the Mining Concession is currently pending ( +258 Licence ).

Pursuant to the +258 Agreement, the parties have agreed:

  • (i) the Company will acquire a 70% interest in the issued capital of +258 Limitada, which has now occurred; and

  • (ii) Galilei will acquire a 30% interest in the issued capital of +258 Limitada, which will be free carried until a decision to mine on the +258 Licence has been made by the Company.

Following a decision to mine by the Company, the parties have agreed:

  • (i) Galilei will elect to either:

  • (A) retain its 30% interest in the +258 Licence and contribute 30% of the overall costs relating to the development of an operating mine and ongoing costs relating to the +258 Licence; or

  • (B) dispose of its 30% interest in the +258 Licence and make its interest available to the Company;

If the Company decides not to mine, it may elect (at is sole discretion) to transfer its interest in +258 to Galilei at which point the +258 Agreement will terminate.

Expenditure Requirements

Under the +258 Agreement, the Company was required to have expended a minimum of 25% of the Expenditure Requirement by 19 April 2019 (being US$375,000) ( Initial Expenditure Requirement ), otherwise it was required to transfer its interest in the +258 Licence back to Galilei. The Company has written to Galilei confirming that it has met this Initial Expenditure Requirement.

For the purposes of reaching a decision to mine, the Company (via MRPL) undertook that on and by the date which is five years of the date of the +258 Agreement (i.e. by 19 April 2021), the Company will:

  • (i) complete sufficient drilling to define a JORC compliant resource;

  • (ii) complete a feasibility study sufficient to determine whether the +258 Licence has the viability for an operating mine;

  • (iii) supply the Ministry of Mines with all reports and fees required to keep the +258 Licence in good standing;

  • (iv) apply for any extension on the +258 Licence to enable completion of a feasibility study, in circumstances where the Company determines that the +258 Licence warrants completion of a feasibility study; and

  • (v) expend a minimum of USD 1,500,000 on either or both exploration expenditure and feasibility study expenditure ( Expenditure Requirement ),

Page 74

(together, the Inhambane Obligations ).

The +258 Agreement may be terminated by either party if:

  • (i) a party defaults in performance of its obligations under the +258 Agreement;

  • (ii) the non-defaulting party gives the party in default a notice in writing requiring it to remedy the breach within 30 days of receipt of the notice; and

  • (iii) the party in default fails to remedy the breach within 30 days.

Force Majeure

To date, the Company has not satisfied the Expenditure Requirement. The Company notified Galilei it had provided expenditure towards the Expenditure Requirement at least AUD$606,386.24, and has noted the occurrence of events beyond the control of either party, specifically:

  • (i) the more than 12-month delay by the relevant Mozambique Minister in approving the renewal of the of exploration licence 4658L, which was applied for on 16 March 2017 and wasn't granted until 12 April 2018; and

  • (ii) the global Covid-19 pandemic.

Pursuant to clause 9(a) of the +258 Agreement, in case of occurrence of events beyond the control of either party, the prescribed time periods to satisfy the investment amounts will be extended accordingly. On that basis, the Company would have until 19 April 2023 to satisfy the total USD 1,500,000 Expenditure Requirement and associated Inhambane Obligations.

While the Company is continuing to assess the Covid-19 pandemic, the Company is confident it will be able to carry out the geological mapping and exploration management activities at the Inhambane Project set out in the use of funds and confirms that it is not aware of any legal impediments to it carrying out its proposed expenditure on the Inhambane Project.

As set out in Section 4.2(a), the Company has set aside minimal funds to the Inhambane Project. In the event the Company receives Government Approval, it may elect to spend further funds on the Inhambane Project. In the event further funds are spent on Inhambane, the Company intends that these funds will first be drawn from funds allocated to working capital and future acquisition costs. However, it is likely that the Company will be required to undertake a future capital raising in order to satisfy the Expenditure Requirement by 19 April 2023. In the event that the Company is unable to satisfy the Expenditure Requirement it will be in breach of its obligations under the +258 Agreement, which could give rise to the termination of the +258 Agreement and the reversion of Mozmin Mauritius' 70% interest to Galilei.

For the reasons set out above, the Company cautions investors not to place undue reliance on Company's ability to secure its rights to the Inhambane Project in making an investment decision.

The +258 Agreement contains additional provisions considered standard for agreements of this nature.

Page 75

7.2 Lead Manager Mandate

The Company entered into a mandate agreement appointing Foster Stockbroking ( Lead Manager ) to provide corporate advisory services and to act as lead manager and broker in respect of the Capital Raising Offer on 12 May 2021 ( Lead Manager Mandate ).

Under the agreement, the Lead Manager will provide services and assistance customarily provided in connection with marketing and execution of an initial offer.

The Company will pay the following fees to the Lead Manager (or its nominees) pursuant to the Lead Manager Mandate:

  • (a) a fee of 6% (comprising of a 2% management fee and 4% capital raising fee) of up to $5,500,000 of the funds raised through the Broker Firm and Institutional Offer, noting that the 4% capital raising fee will not be payable in respect of funds raised through the Chairman's List;

  • (b) a fee of 2% (comprising only of a management fee) of up to $1,000,000 of the funds raised through the Chairman's List;

  • (c) a retainer of $5,000 a month payable in advance and capped at a maximum of $40,000; and

  • (d) 4,000,000 unquoted Options with an exercise price of $0.25 each and an expiry date of 3 years from the date of issue.

Either the Lead Manager or the Company may terminate the lead manager arrangements under the Lead Manager Mandate by giving 7 days of written notice to the other party.

The Lead Manager also reserves the right to terminate immediately if:

  • (a) the Company breaches (or in the Lead Manager’s reasonable opinion is about to breach) any provision of the Lead Manager Mandate or commits an act of gross negligence, fraud or wilful misconduct or refuses to provide the Lead Manager with information reasonably requested in relation to duties for the services of the Lead Manager;

  • (b) in the Lead Manager's opinion it is not appropriate for the Lead Manager to continue the engagement under the Lead Manager Mandate for legal or regulatory reasons; or

  • (c) the Capital Raising Offer is prevented from proceeding for any reason whatsoever.

The Lead Manager can also terminate in additional circumstances, including in the event of delay in performing its services arising from anything beyond its control.

The Company reserves the right to terminate immediately if the Lead Manager breaches (or in the reasonable opinion of the Company is about to breach) any material provision of the Lead Manager Mandate or commits an act of gross negligence, fraud or wilful misconduct.

Should the Company terminate the Lead Manager's appointment without cause and the Company reaches financial close on the Capital Raising Offer (or a transaction substantially comparable to the Capital Raising Offer) within three months from the date of the termination, the Lead Manager is entitled (in addition to other surviving rights and entitlements under the Lead Manager Mandate) to a cash sum of $150,000 (excluding any retainers) under the Lead Manager Mandate, payable on financial close of the relevant transaction.

Page 76

The Lead Manager also has the benefit of covenants, indemnities and rights of first refusal (among other customary terms) under the Lead Manager Mandate. The Lead Manager has the right of first refusal to act as the Company’s exclusive financial advisers and/or lead manager in connection with any issue of securities by the Company, excluding any shares issued under a share purchase plan, for 12 months from the listing date and also has the right to match terms proposed to the Company by a third party broker or dealer, financial adviser or investment bank with respect to a future securities offering.

Various rights and entitlements of the Lead Manager survive termination.

Rights attaching to Shares

A summary of the rights attaching to the Shares is detailed below. This summary is qualified by the full terms of the Constitution (a full copy of the Constitution is available from the Company on request free of charge) and does not purport to be exhaustive or to constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders. These rights and liabilities can involve complex questions of law arising from an interaction of the Constitution with statutory and common law requirements. For a Shareholder to obtain a definitive assessment of the rights and liabilities which attach to the Shares in any specific circumstances, the Shareholder should seek legal advice.

  • (a) ( Ranking of Shares ): At the date of this Prospectus, all Shares are of the same class and rank equally in all respects. Specifically, the Shares issued pursuant to this Prospectus will rank equally with existing Shares.

  • (iii) has one vote for every Share held, upon a poll.

  • (c) ( Dividend rights ): Shareholders will be entitled to dividends, distributed among members in proportion to the capital paid up, from the date of payment. No dividend carries interest against the Company and the declaration of Directors as to the amount to be distributed is conclusive.

Shareholders may be paid interim dividends or bonuses at the discretion of the Directors. The Company must not pay a dividend unless the Company's assets exceed its liabilities immediately before the dividend is declared and the excess is sufficient for the payment of the dividend.

  • (d) ( Variation of rights ): The rights attaching to the Shares may only be varied by the consent in writing of the holders of three-quarters of the Shares, or with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a general meeting.

  • (e) ( Transfer of Shares ): Shares can be transferred upon delivery of a proper instrument of transfer to the Company or by a transfer in accordance with the ASX Settlement Operating Rules. The instrument of transfer must be in writing, in the approved form, and signed by the transferor and the transferee. Until the transferee has been registered, the transferor is deemed to remain the holder, even after signing the instrument of transfer.

In some circumstances, the Directors may refuse to register a transfer if upon registration the transferee will hold less than a marketable parcel. The Board may refuse to register a transfer of Shares upon which the Company has a lien.

  • (f) ( General meetings ): Shareholders are entitled to be present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company.

Page 80

The Directors may convene a general meeting at their discretion. General meetings shall also be convened on requisition as provided for by the Corporations Act.

  • (h) ( Rights on winding up ): If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may with the sanction of special resolution, divide the assets of the Company amongst members as the liquidator sees fit. If the assets are insufficient to repay the whole of the paid up capital of members, they will be distributed in such a way that the losses borne by members are in proportion to the capital paid up.

  • (i) ( Restricted Securities ): A holder of Restricted Securities (as defined in the Listing Rules) must comply with the requirements imposed by the Listing Rules in respect of Restricted Securities.

  • (c) ( Vesting Process ): Provided the Vesting Conditions are met or otherwise waived by the Board, a Vesting Notification will be sent to the holder from the Board, informing them that some or all of the Performance Rights have vested.

Following the issue of the Vesting Notification for the Performance Rights, the holder will have until the Expiry Date of the Performance Rights to convert any vested Performance Rights. Any vested Performance Rights that remain unconverted after this date will automatically expire and lapse.

  • (d) ( Conversion of Vested Performance Rights ): Following the vesting of any Performance Rights the holder has until the Expiry Date to convert any such vested Performance Rights, at their election.

Page 84

  • (f) ( Restrictions on transfer or disposal of Shares ): If the Company is unable to give ASX a notice that complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act, Shares issued on conversion of the Performance Rights may not be traded until 12 months after their issue unless the Company, at its sole discretion, elects to issue a prospectus pursuant to section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act.

Except as set out in the Company's share trading policy and applicable laws, no other specific disposal restrictions apply to any Shares that are issued or transferred as a result of the conversion of the Performance Rights.

  • (g) ( Shares issued on exercise ): All Shares issued upon exercise of Performance Rights will upon issue rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue.

  • (h) ( Expiry Date of Performance Rights ): All unvested, or vested but unexercised, Performance Rights will expire automatically at 5.00pm WST on the date which is 5 years from their date of issue unless an earlier lapsing date applies (as set out below).

  • (i) ( Lapse of Performance Rights ): Where the holder becomes a leaver, all unvested Performance Rights will automatically be forfeited and lapse, subject to any determination otherwise by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion. The Board may take into account the holder's longevity in the role and the reasons for leaving. For example, the Board may, at its sole and absolute discretion, determine that unvested performance right vest upon the holder becoming a leaver due to their role being made redundant, where the other vesting conditions have been met.

  • (i) acts fraudulently, or dishonestly;

  • (ii) wilfully breaches their duties to the Group;

  • (iii) is responsible for: material financial misstatements; major negligence; significant legal, regulatory and/or policy non-compliance; or a significant harmful act,

Unless the Board otherwise determines in its sole and absolute discretion, unvested Performance Rights will lapse in accordance with the Rules, which includes (without limitation):

  • (i) if the Vesting Conditions applicable to that Performance Right are not achieved by the relevant time;

  • (l) ( Change of control ): In the event that a Change of Control Event occurs or the Board determines that either such an event is likely to occur before the Vesting Conditions are met, the Board will have a discretion whether to allow the vesting of the Performance Rights and on what terms.

  • (o) ( Reorganisation of capital ): In the event that the issued capital of the Company is reconstructed, all the holder's rights as a holder of Performance Rights will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules at the time of reorganisation provided that, subject to compliance with the Listing Rules, following such reorganisation the holder's economic and other rights are not diminished or terminated.

8.5 Summary of the Company's Employee Securities Incentive Plan

The Heavy Minerals Limited Plan ( Plan ) was adopted by the Board on or about the date of this Prospectus. The full terms of the Plan may be inspected at the registered office of the Company during normal business hours. A summary of the terms of the Plan is set out below. It is intended that both the Executive and Non-Executive Directors will participate in the Plan. As at the date of this Prospectus no Director currently participates or is proposed to participate in the Plan.

  • (a) ( Eligible Participant ): Eligible Participant means a person that:

  • (i) is an "eligible participant" (as that term is defined in ASIC Class Order 14/1000) in relation to the Company or an Associated Body Corporate (as that term is defined in ASIC Class Order 14/1000); and

  • (ii) has been determined by the Board to be eligible to participate in the Plan from time to time.

(b) ( Maximum allocation )

  • (i) The Company must not make an offer of Securities under the Plan where the total number of Plan Shares that may be issued, or acquired upon exercise of Plan Convertible Securities offered, when aggregated with the number of Shares issued or that may be issued as a result of offers made under the Plan at any time during the previous 3 year period would exceed 5% of the total number of Shares on issue at the date of the offer.

  • (ii) The maximum number of equity securities proposed to be issued under the Plan for the purposes of the Listing Rules is 5,000,000 ( ASX Limit ),

Page 88

meaning that the Company may issue up to the ASX Limit under the Plan, without seeking Shareholder Approval and without reducing its placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (c) ( Purpose ): The purpose of the Plan is to:

  • (i) assist in the reward, retention and motivation of Eligible Participants;

  • (ii) link the reward of Eligible Participants to Shareholder value creation; and

  • (iii) align the interests of Eligible Participants with shareholders of the Group (being the Company and each of its Associated Bodies Corporate), by providing an opportunity to Eligible Participants to receive an equity interest in the Company in the form of Securities.

  • (d) ( Plan administration ): The Plan will be administered by the Board. The Board may exercise any power or discretion conferred on it by the Plan rules in its sole and absolute discretion. The Board may delegate its powers and discretion.

  • (e) ( Eligibility, invitation and application ): The Board may from time to time determine that an Eligible Participant may participate in the Plan and make an invitation to that Eligible Participant to apply for Securities on such terms and conditions as the Board decides.

On receipt of an Invitation, an Eligible Participant may apply for the Securities the subject of the invitation by sending a completed application form to the Company. The Board may accept an application from an Eligible Participant in whole or in part. If an Eligible Participant is permitted in the invitation, the Eligible Participant may, by notice in writing to the Board, nominate a party in whose favour the Eligible Participant wishes to renounce the invitation.

  • (f) ( Grant of Securities ): The Company will, to the extent that it has accepted a duly completed application, grant the Participant the relevant number of Securities, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the invitation, the Plan rules and any ancillary documentation required.

  • (g) ( Terms of Convertible Securities ): Each 'Convertible Security' represents a right to acquire one or more Shares (for example, under an option or performance right), subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.

Prior to a Convertible Security being exercised a Participant does not have any interest (legal, equitable or otherwise) in any Share the subject of the Convertible Security by virtue of holding the Convertible Security. A Participant may not sell, assign, transfer, grant a security interest over or otherwise deal with a Convertible Security that has been granted to them. A Participant must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of hedging their economic exposure to a Convertible Security that has been granted to them.

  • (h) ( Vesting of Convertible Securities ): Any vesting conditions applicable to the grant of Convertible Securities will be described in the invitation. If all the vesting conditions are satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, a vesting notice will be sent to the Participant by the Company informing them that the relevant Convertible Securities have vested. Unless and until the vesting notice is issued by the Company, the Convertible Securities will not be considered to have vested. For the

Page 89

avoidance of doubt, if the vesting conditions relevant to a Convertible Security are not satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, that Convertible Security will lapse.

  • (i) ( Exercise of Convertible Securities and cashless exercise ): To exercise a Convertible Security, the Participant must deliver a signed notice of exercise and, subject to a cashless exercise of Convertible Securities (see below), pay the exercise price (if any) to or as directed by the Company, at any time prior to the earlier of any date specified in the vesting notice and the expiry date as set out in the invitation.

An invitation may specify that at the time of exercise of the Convertible Securities, the Participant may elect not to be required to provide payment of the exercise price for the number of Convertible Securities specified in a notice of exercise, but that on exercise of those Convertible Securities the Company will transfer or issue to the Participant that number of Shares equal in value to the positive difference between the Market Value of the Shares at the time of exercise and the exercise price that would otherwise be payable to exercise those Convertible Securities.

Market Value means, at any given date, the volume weighted average price per Share traded on the ASX over the 5 trading days immediately preceding that given date, unless otherwise specified in an invitation.

A Convertible Security may not be exercised unless and until that Convertible Security has vested in accordance with the Plan rules, or such earlier date as set out in the Plan rules.

  • (j) ( Delivery of Shares on exercise of Convertible Securities ): As soon as practicable after the valid exercise of a Convertible Security by a Participant, the Company will issue or cause to be transferred to that Participant the number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled under the Plan rules and issue a substitute certificate for any remaining unexercised Convertible Securities held by that Participant.

  • (k) ( Forfeiture of Convertible Securities ): Where a Participant who holds Convertible Securities ceases to be an Eligible Participant or becomes insolvent, all unvested Convertible Securities will automatically be forfeited by the Participant, unless the Board otherwise determines in its discretion to permit some or all of the Convertible Securities to vest.

Where the Board determines that a Participant has acted fraudulently or dishonestly, or wilfully breached his or her duties to the Group, the Board may in its discretion deem all unvested Convertible Securities held by that Participant to have been forfeited.

Unless the Board otherwise determines, or as otherwise set out in the Plan rules:

  • (i) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be forfeited immediately on the date that the Board determines (acting reasonably and in good faith) that any applicable vesting conditions have not been met or cannot be met by the relevant date; and

  • (ii) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be automatically forfeited on the expiry date specified in the invitation.

Page 90

  • (l) ( Change of control ): If a change of control event occurs in relation to the Company, or the Board determines that such an event is likely to occur, the Board may in its discretion determine the manner in which any or all of the Participant's Convertible Securities will be dealt with, including, without limitation, in a manner that allows the Participant to participate in and/or benefit from any transaction arising from or in connection with the change of control event.

  • (m) ( Rights attaching to Plan Shares ): All Shares issued under the Plan, or issued or transferred to a Participant upon the valid exercise of a Convertible Security, ( Plan Shares ) will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares of the same class. A Participant will be entitled to any dividends declared and distributed by the Company on the Plan Shares and may participate in any dividend reinvestment plan operated by the Company in respect of Plan Shares. A Participant may exercise any voting rights attaching to Plan Shares.

  • (n) ( Disposal restrictions on Securities ): If the invitation provides that any Plan Shares or Convertible Securities are subject to any restrictions as to the disposal or other dealing by a Participant for a period, the Board may implement any procedure it deems appropriate to ensure the compliance by the Participant with this restriction.

For so long as a Plan Share or Convertible Security is subject to any disposal restrictions under the Plan, the Participant will not:

  • (i) transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of, or have a security interest granted over that Plan Share; or

  • (ii) take any action or permit another person to take any action to remove or circumvent the disposal restrictions without the express written consent of the Company.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, where a Plan Share or Convertible Security is issued in reliance on the Company satisfying the start-up company requirements in section 83A-33 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) ( Tax Act ), a legal or a beneficial interest in the Convertible Security may not be disposed of until the earlier of:

The Board may from time to time suspend the operation of the Plan for a fixed period or indefinitely, and may end any suspension.

If a Participant and the Company (acting at the direction of the Board) agree in writing that some or all of the Securities granted to that Participant are to be cancelled on a specified date or on the occurrence of a particular event, then those Securities may be cancelled in the manner agreed between the Company and the Participant.

Dear Sirs

Investigating Accountants Report (“Report”) on the Historical and Pro Forma Historical Financial Information of Heavy Minerals Limited

Introduction

Criterion Audit Pty Ltd (“Criterion”) has been engaged by Heavy Minerals Limited (“Heavy” or the “Company”) to report on the historical information of the Company and Mozmin Resources Pty Ltd (“Mozmin”) for the years ended 30 June 2020 and half year ended 31 December 2020 and Pro Forma Historical Financial Information of the Company and Mozmin as at 31 December 2020 for inclusion in a Prospectus of the Company dated on or around 27 July 2021, to be issued in connection with the Company’s initial public offer of a minimum of 27,500,000 fully paid ordinary shares (“Shares”) to be issued at a price of $0.20 per Share to raise a minimum of $5.5 million (before costs) (the “Offer”), pursuant to which the Company is seeking to list on the Australia Securities Exchange (“ASX”).

Expressions and terms defined in the document have the same meaning in this Report. This Report has been prepared for inclusion in the Prospectus. We disclaim any assumption of responsibility for any reliance on this Report or on the Financial Information to which it relates for any purpose other than that for which it was prepared.

Scope

You have requested Criterion to perform a limited assurance engagement in relation to the historical and pro forma historical financial information described below and disclosed in the Prospectus.

The historical and pro forma historical financial information is presented in the Prospectus in an abbreviated form insofar as it does not include all of the presentation and disclosures required by Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements applicable to general purpose financial reports prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001.

Historical Financial Information

You have requested Criterion to review the following historical financial information (together the “Historical Financial Information”) of Heavy and Mozmin included in the Prospectus:

  • the audited/reviewed historical Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income for the year ended 30 June 2020 and half year ended 31 December 2020;

==> picture [75 x 51] intentionally omitted <==

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation

Heavy Minerals Limited Investigating Accountant’s Report

  • the audited/reviewed historical Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended 30 June 2020 and half year ended 31 December 2020; and

  • the audited/reviewed historical Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2020 and 31 December 2020.

The Historical Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the stated basis of preparation, being the recognition and measurement principles contained in Australian Accounting Standards and the Company’s adopted accounting policies. The Historical Financial Information has been extracted from the financial reports for the year ended 30 June 2020 and half year ended 31 December 2020 which was audited/reviewed by Criterion in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Criterion issued unmodified audit opinions/conclusions on the financial reports with material uncertainty related to going concern.

Pro Forma Historical Financial Information

You have requested Criterion to review the following pro forma historical financial information (together the “Pro Forma Historical Financial Information”) of Heavy included in the Prospectus:

  • the pro forma historical Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 2020.

The pro forma historical financial information has been derived from the historical financial information of Heavy and Mozmin, after adjusting for the effects of the subsequent events and pro forma adjustments described in Section 5 of the Prospectus. The stated basis of preparation is the recognition and measurement principles contained in Australian Accounting Standards applied to the historical financial information and the events or transactions to which the pro forma adjustments relate, as described in Section 5 of the Prospectus, as if those events or transactions had occurred as at the date of the historical financial information. Due to its nature, the pro forma historical financial information does not represent the company’s actual or prospective financial position.

The pro forma historical financial information has been compiled by Heavy to illustrate the impact of the events or transactions described in Section 5 of the Prospectus on Heavy’s financial position as at 31 December 2020. Note that Heavy was only incorporated on 10 February 2021.

The pro-forma historical financial information has been prepared by adjusting the statement of financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2020 to reflect the financial effects of the subsequent events which have occurred since 31 December 2020 and the pro forma transactions which are yet to occur, but are proposed to occur following completion of the Offer as disclosed in Section 5 of the Prospectus.

Directors’ Responsibility

The directors of Heavy are responsible for the preparation of the historical financial information and pro forma historical financial information, including the selection and determination of pro forma adjustments made to the historical financial information and included in the pro forma historical financial information. This includes responsibility for such internal controls as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of historical financial information and pro forma historical financial information that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Our Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express limited assurance conclusions on the Historical Financial Information and the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information based on the procedures performed and the evidence we have obtained. We have conducted our engagement in accordance with the Standard on Assurance Engagement ASAE 3420 Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of Pro Forma Historical Financial Information included in a Prospectus or other Document .

Heavy Minerals Limited Investigating Accountant’s Report

A review consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain reasonable assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Our engagement did not involve updating or re-issuing any previously issued audit or review report on any financial information used as a source of the financial information.

Conclusion

Historical Financial Information

Based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the historical financial information for Heavy and Mozmin comprising:

  • the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income for the year ended 30 June 2020 and half year ended 31 December 2020;

  • the Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended 30 June 2020 and half year ended 31 December 2020; and

  • the Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2020 and 31 December 2020.

are not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with the stated basis of preparation, as described in Section 5 of the Prospectus

Pro Forma Historical Financial Information

The Directors Heavy Minerals Limited Level 11, London House 216 St George’s Terrace Perth, WA 6000

Dear Directors

Heavy Minerals Limited Solicitor's Report – Mining Tenements

This report has been prepared for Heavy Minerals Limited (ACN 647 831 883) ( Company ) for inclusion in the Company's prospectus ( Prospectus ) issued in connection with the Company's application for the admission of the ordinary shares of the Company to the Official List of the ASX.

1. Scope

We have been requested to report on five granted exploration licences (prefixed ' E ') (collectively referred to as the ' Tenements ') which are all located in Western Australia, and which the Company will acquire pursuant to the Sale Agreement (defined below).

Key details of the Tenements are set out in Schedule 1 of this Report and must be read in conjunction with this Report.

2. Searches

For the purposes of this Report, we have conducted searches and made enquiries in respect of the Tenements as follows:

  • (a) searches of the tenements on the register maintained by the Department pursuant to the Mining Act on 10 June 2021 ( DMIRS Searches );

  • (b) quick appraisal user searches of the Tengraph system maintained by the Department on 10 June 2021 ( Tengraph Searches );

  • (c) searches of the schedule of native title applications, register of native title claims, national native title register, register of indigenous land use agreement and national land use agreements as maintained by the NNTT for any native title claims (registered or unregistered), native title determinations and ILUAs that overlap or apply to the Tenements on 11 June 2021 ( NNTT Searches ); and

Doc ID 848562203/v7

  • (d) searches from the online Aboriginal Heritage Inquiry System ( AHIS Searches ) maintained by the Department of Aboriginal Affairs for any Aboriginal sites registered on the Register of Aboriginal Sites and other heritage places over the Tenements on 10 June 2021.

3. Scope

The purpose of this Report is to determine and identify, as at the time of the offer under the Prospectus:

  • (a) the interests held by the Company in the Tenements;

  • (b) any third party interests, including encumbrances, in relation to the Tenements;

  • (c) any material issues existing in respect of the Tenements;

  • (d) the good standing, or otherwise, of the Tenements; and

  • (e) any concurrent interests in the land the subject of the Tenements, including other mining tenements, private land, pastoral leases, native title and Aboriginal heritage.

This Report is limited to the matters contained within and, for example, does not consider risks and issues (such as any additional approvals) that may arise in relation to the development of a mining project on the Tenements and any subsequent mining and processing of ore.

4. Summary of key items and overview of risk factors

  • 4.1 Title

  • (a) As at the date of this Report, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Mozmin, has a beneficial interest in the Tenements, as follows: E66/102, E70/5130, E70/5160 and E70/5161 are held by Gianni and will be transferred to Mozmin within 15 business days of the Company receiving the conditional admission letter from the ASX, in accordance with the Sale Agreement. For further information, refer to paragraph 9 of this Report;

  • (b) E70/5314 is held by Mining Equities and will be transferred to Mozmin within 15 business days of the Company receiving the conditional admission letter from the ASX, in accordance with the Sale Agreement. E70/5314 is within its first year of grant and until it reaches its first year of grant (being 1 December 2021), cannot be transferred to Mozmin without the prior written consent of the Minister. Should Mozmin wish to transfer E70/5314 without the consent of the Minister, it will need to facilitate the transfer after 1 December 2021. For further information, refer to paragraph 9 of this Report; and

  • (c) There is a risk that the Tenements will not be transferred to Mozmin or that the transfer is delayed. However, we consider this risk low given that there are no express conditions precedent in the Sale Agreement and that

Page 2

Doc ID 848562203/v7

completion will be triggered once the Company has received a conditional admission letter from the ASX. The risk is also minimised as Gianni (and in the case of E70/5314, Mining Equities) must hold the legal title to each of the Tenements on trust for Mozmin and provide Mozmin with access to the Tenements to conduct exploration activities until such time that legal title in all of the Tenements passes to Mozmin. The transfer of the Tenements (aside from E70/5314) will not require the consent of the Minister to be transferred to Mozmin. For further information, refer to paragraph 9 of this Report.

4.2 Native title

The existence of native title determinations or claims over the area covered by the Tenements, or a subsequent determination of native title over the area, will not impact the rights or interests of the holder under the Tenements provided the Tenements have been or will be validly granted in accordance with the Native Title Act.

The grant of any future tenure to the Company over areas that are covered by registered claims or determinations will likely require engagement with the relevant claimants or native title holders (as relevant) in accordance with the Native Title Act.

For information on native title affecting the Tenements, please see paragraph 6.9 for details.

Our Searches also indicate that the Tenements are all subject to an ILUA , for further information on the ILUA, please see paragraph 6.10 below for further details.

4.3 Aboriginal Heritage

The Searches indicate that there are ten registered Aboriginal heritage sites, two registered 'other' Aboriginal heritage places and six applications for 'other' Aboriginal heritage places which have been lodged within Tenements E66/102, E70/5130 and E70/5161.

E66/102 and E70/5161 are also subject to a RSHA which imposes exclusion zones of up to 300 metres prohibiting exploration activities around certain Aboriginal sites located on these Tenements. For further information, refer to paragraph 7.6 of this Report.

However, there remains a risk that additional Aboriginal sites or places may exist on the land the subject of the Tenements. The existence of such sites may preclude or limit mining activities in certain areas of the Tenements or cause delays in the progression of the development of a mine.

See paragraph 7 below for further details.

Page 3

Doc ID 848562203/v7

4.4 Overlapping Tenure

Our Searches indicate that the Tenements overlap with land that is the subject of other rights, including:

  • (a) File Notation Areas ( FNA ), the details of which are set out in paragraph 8.1 of this Report; and

  • (b) certain 'C' Class Crown Reserves and in the case of E70/5161, one 'A' Class Reserve, the details of which are set out in paragraph 8.4 of this Report.

Any delays or costs in respect of conflicting third-party rights, obtaining necessary consents, or compensation obligations, may adversely impact the Company's ability to carry out exploration or mining activities within the affected areas.

4.5

Environmental Risks

Tenements E70/5161 and E70/5314 encroach on sites which have been gazetted as “rare flora” under the Wildlife Conservation Act 1950 (WA) and E70/5161 encroaches a threatened ecological community. For further information, please refer to paragraph 8.2.

Our Searches also indicate that Tenements E66/102, E70/5130 and E70/5161 encroach on areas which are dieback risk zones. For further information, please refer to paragraph 8.3.

The existence of these environmentally sensitive areas and requirements for the Company to prepare necessary management plans and obtain additional approvals may impact or delay the Company's ability to carry out exploration or mining activities within the affected areas.

5.

Tenements

The following provides a description of the nature and key terms of the Tenements (including potential successor tenements) that may be granted under the Mining Act which are relevant to the Tenements the subject of this Report.

5.1

Exploration Licences

  • (a) Licence area and authority

The holder of an exploration licence is entitled to enter the land for the purposes of exploring for minerals with employees, contractors and such vehicles, machinery and equipment as may be necessary or expedient. An exploration licence will not be granted over land the subject of an existing mining tenement other than a miscellaneous licence.

  • (b) Term and extension

Exploration licences are granted for a term of 5 years. The Minister has discretion to extend the exploration licence for one further period of 5 years

Page 4

Doc ID 848562203/v7

and then by further 2 year periods if satisfied that a prescribed ground for extension exists.

  • (c) Other conditions

Exploration licences are granted subject sto various standard conditions, including conditions relating to minimum expenditure, the payment of prescribed rent and observance of Aboriginal heritage, environmental protection and reporting requirements. A failure to comply with these conditions or obtain an exemption from compliance may lead to forfeiture of the exploration licence.

  • (d) Relinquishment requirement

Exploration licences of more than 10 blocks applied for after 10 February 2006 are subject to a requirement that the holder relinquishes 40% of the tenement area at the end of the sixth year that the licence is held. A failure to lodge the required partial surrender could render the exploration licence liable to forfeiture.

  • (e) Retention status

The holder of an exploration licence applied for after 10 February 2006 may apply for retention status for the exploration licence. The Minister may approve the application where there is an identified mineral resource in or under the land the subject of the exploration licence, but it is impractical to mine the resource for prescribed reasons. Where retention status is approved, the minimum expenditure requirements are reduced in the year of grant and cease in future years, however, the Minister has the right to impose a programmed of works or require the holder to apply for a mining lease.

  • (f) Transfer during first year

During the first year of grant of an exploration licence, a legal or equitable interest in or affecting the exploration licence cannot be transferred or otherwise dealt with, whether directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Minister. Exploration licences can otherwise be transferred without the requirement to obtain the consent of the Minister.

  • (g) Right to apply for mining lease

The holder of an exploration licence has priority to apply for a mining lease over any land subject to the exploration licence. Any application for a mining lease must be made prior to the expiry of the exploration licence. The exploration licence remains in force until the application for the mining lease is determined.

  • (h) Rent and expenditure requirements

Annual rent is payable for an exploration licence and the holder of an exploration licence must comply with the prescribed minimum expenditure

Page 5

Doc ID 848562203/v7

conditions unless the holder has been granted an exemption (in whole or part) from those conditions by the Minister. An exemption to the minimum expenditure conditions will only be granted on certain grounds set out in the Mining Act or at the discretion of the Minister. A failure to comply with expenditure requirements, unless an exemption is granted, renders the exploration licence liable to forfeiture or the Minister imposing a monetary penalty as an alternative.

5.2 Mining Leases

(a) Application

  • (i) Any person may lodge an application for a mining lease, although a holder of a prospecting licence, exploration licence or retention licence over the relevant area has priority. The Minister decides whether to grant an application for a mining lease.

  • (ii) The application, where made after 10 February 2006, must be accompanied by either a mining proposal or a statement outlining mining intentions and a "mineralisation report" indicating there is significant mineralisation in the area over which a mining lease is sought. A mining lease accompanied by a “mineralisation report" will only be approved where the Director, Geological Survey considers that there is a reasonable prospect that the mineralisation identified will result in a mining operation.

(b) Rights

The holder of a mining lease is entitled to mine for and dispose of any minerals on the land in respect of which the lease was granted. A mining lease entitles the holder to do all acts and things necessary to effectively carry out mining operations.

(c) Term and transfer

A mining lease has a term of 21 years and may be renewed for successive periods of 21 years. Where a mining lease is transferred before a renewal application has been determined, the transferee is deemed to be the applicant. The consent of the Minister is required to transfer a mining lease.

(d) Conditions

Mining leases are granted subject to various standard conditions, including conditions relating to expenditure, the payment of prescribed rent and royalties and observance of environmental protection and reporting requirements. An unconditional performance bond may be required to secure performance of these obligations. A failure to comply with these conditions may lead to forfeiture of the mining lease. For the purpose of this Report, we have only summarised material conditions and endorsements relating to the Tenements in Schedule 1.

  • (e) Royalty

Page 6

Doc ID 848562203/v7

A royalty is payable to the State of Western Australia in relation to minerals obtained from the land that is the subject of a mining lease granted under the Mining Act. In Western Australia, there are two systems used to collect mineral royalties:

  • (i) specific rate - calculated as a flat rate per tonne produced and generally applies under legislation to low value construction and industrial minerals. The rates on production between 1 July 2015 and 30 June 2025 are 73 cents per tonne and 117 cents per tonne; and

  • (ii) ad valorem - calculated as a percentage of the 'royalty value' of the mineral, which applies under the Mining Regulations. The royalty value is broadly calculated as the quantity of the mineral in the form in which it is first sold, multiplied by the price in that form, minus any allowable deductions. The ad valorem royalty rate takes into account price fluctuations and material grades as follows:

    • (A) bulk material (subject to limited treatment) - 7.5% of the royalty value;

    • (B) concentrate material (subject to substantial enrichment through a concentration plant) - 5% of the royalty value; and

    • (C) metal - 2.5% of the royalty value.

  • (f) Mining Rehabilitation Fund

The holders of all mining tenements, except those tenements covered by special agreements with the State of Western Australia not listed in the Mining Rehabilitation Fund Regulations 2013 (WA), are required to participate in the Mining Rehabilitation Fund. This is a pooled fund to which Western Australian mining operators contribute and the money is used to rehabilitate abandoned mine sites in Western Australia. Tenement holders with an annual rehabilitation liability of $50,000 or less are not required to contribute.

6. Native title

6.1 General

  • (a) On 3 June 1992, the High Court of Australia held in Mabo v. Queensland (No. 2) (1992) 175 CLR 1 that the common law of Australia recognises a form of native title. The Native Title Act came into effect on 1 January 1994, largely in response to the decision in Mabo v. Queensland (No. 2) (1992) 175 CLR 1.

  • (b) The law in Australia recognises that Aboriginal people may hold native title rights and interests in respect of their land. Native title exists where Aboriginal people have maintained a traditional connection to their land and waters, provided it has not been extinguished.

Page 7

Doc ID 848562203/v7

  • (c) The grant of a mining tenement also creates rights in respect of land. Those mining tenement rights may affect (ie be inconsistent with) certain native title rights and interests. As a general statement, those mining tenement rights will be invalid as against any native title rights, unless made valid by certain procedures in the Native Title Act.

6.2 Native title claims

  • (a) The Native Title Act sets out a process by which Aboriginal people may seek a determination by the Federal Court that they hold native title rights and interests. Whilst the Federal Court is assessing the claimed native title rights and interests, a Registrar of the NNTT will assess whether the native title claim meets certain registration requirements set out in the Native Title Act, and if so, the native title claim will be entered on the Register of Native Title Claims ( RNTC ). If the Federal Court determines that the claimed native rights and interests exist, details of the determined native title claim (and the determined native title rights held) are then entered on the National Native Title Register ( NNTR ).

  • (b) If a claim for native title is entered on the RNTC, or a determined claim is entered on the NNTR, the Native Title Act provides the claimants / holders with certain rights, including procedural rights where a 'future act' is proposed. An example of a 'future act' is the grant of a mining tenement.

  • (c) The Native Title Act sets out when 'acts' will be 'valid' in the event they affect (ie are inconsistent with) native title, however, this process need only apply where native title exists (a determined native title claim entered on the NNTR) or is claimed to exist (a native title claim entered on the RNTC). The 'acts' can be a proposed activity or development on land and waters. A common example in Western Australia is the proposed grants of mining tenements by the Department.

6.3 'Past Acts' (ie grants of mining tenements): Prior to 1 January 1994

The Native Title Act permits, and all States and Territories of Australia have passed, legislation validating certain 'acts' which were done before 1 January 1994. In Western Australia, that legislation is the Titles (Validation) and Native Title (Effect of Past Acts) Act 1995 (WA). It provides that all 'acts' (eg grants of mining tenements) prior to 1 January 1994 are valid to the extent they affect native title.

6.4 'Future Acts' (ie proposed grants of mining tenements): After 1 January 1994

  • (a) Generally, a 'future act' is an 'act' (eg grant of mining tenement) occurring after 1 January 1994 which affects native title.

  • (b) The Native Title Act sets out the circumstances in which, and procedures by which, 'future acts' will be valid should that 'act' affect native title.

  • (c) Such circumstances include if the 'act' was done in certain circumstances between 1 January 1994 and 23 December 1996 (called 'Intermediate Period Acts'), or if the 'act' is permitted by an Indigenous Land Use Agreement ( ILUA ), or if certain procedures are to be followed where a claim

Page 8

Doc ID 848562203/v7

for native title is entered on the RNTC, or a determined claim is entered on the NNTR. Such procedures include the 'Right to Negotiate Procedure' and the 'Expedited Procedure'. The key elements of these processes are outlined below.

6.5 Right to Negotiate Procedure

  • (a) Under the Right to Negotiate Procedure the native title party whose details are registered on the RNTC or NNTR, the applicant for the mining tenement and the relevant State or Territory (collectively, the Negotiation Parties ) are required to negotiate in good faith with a view to the native title party agreeing to the proposed future act.

  • (b) The scope of the negotiations includes any matters relating to the effect of the grant of the future act on the claimed or determined native title rights and interest. Where the future act is the proposed grant of an exploration or prospecting licence, usually an agreement is reached which aims to protect Aboriginal heritage. This is because exploration licences confer only limited rights to the registered holder of the licence, conferring rights to conduct exploration and disturb the land for that purpose.

  • (c) Where the future act is the proposed grant of a mining lease, the negotiations and resulting agreement are usually more complex, as the nature of rights granted for a mining lease contemplates substantial ground disturbance over a portion of the area granted. Such an agreement may address employment and training, environmental rehabilitation, Aboriginal heritage protection, cultural awareness and the payment of compensation.

  • (d) If the Negotiation Parties negotiate in good faith but cannot reach agreement as to the doing of the future act, then provided at least 6 months have elapsed since the S29 Notice, any party (in most cases the applicant for the mining tenement) may apply to the NNTT for a determination as to whether the future act may be done, and if so, on what conditions.

6.6 Expedited Procedure

  • (a) If the proposed future act (ie grant of the tenement) is not likely to interfere with the activities or sites of significance of the registered native title party or involved major disturbances to land or waters, a simplified process may apply (known as the Expedited Procedure). A registered native title party may object to this process and, if it does, the NNTT must determine the validity of the objection (which may result in the Expedited Process not being able to be followed).

  • (b) Current Department policy is that it will process applications for exploration and prospecting licences through the Expedited Process once the applicant provides evidence by way of a statutory declaration / affidavit that a regional standard heritage agreement ( RSHA ) exists or has been signed by the proponent and sent to any affected registered Native Title Claimant ( NTC ) group (if any) or that an alternative heritage agreement exists between the NTC group and the explorer. If this cannot be demonstrated, the Right to Negotiate Procedure will apply.

Page 9

Doc ID 848562203/v7

6.7 ILUA

An ILUA is an agreement which has been authorised by the native title claimant group and has been registered with the NNTT. An ILUA binds the parties to the ILUA and also all persons holding native title to the relevant area that may not be a party. If an ILUA provides that any particular mining tenement(s) may be granted, then the relevant mining tenement(s) may be granted as provided for by the ILUA, generally without following other procedures, including the Right to Negotiate Procedure or the Expedited Procedure.

6.8

Compensation

In certain circumstances holders of native title (a determined native title claim that is registered on the NNTR) may be entitled to apply under the Native Title Act to the Federal Court for compensation for any effect on their native title. The Mining Act provides that holders of mining tenements are liable for such compensation where awarded by reason of their mining tenements having affected native title. Consequently, if it has been, or is in the future, determined that native title exists over any of the land the subject of a mining tenement (or granted future act) and the holders of the native title apply to the Federal Court for compensation, the holder of the tenement may be liable and directed to pay any compensation determined.

6.9 Native title claims and determinations affecting the Tenements

The NNTT Searches in respect of the Tenements indicate that all of the Tenements wholly (100%) lie within the registered determined native title claim of Yamatji Nation (NNTT file number WCD2020/001). This claim was determined on 7 February 2020 and came into effect on 26 October 2020.

The existence of any native title claims over the area covered by the Tenements, or a subsequent determination of native title over the area, will not impact the rights and interests of the holder under the Tenements provided they have been validly granted.

However, the grant of any future tenure over areas that are covered by a registered claim or a positive determination of native title will require engagement with the relevant claimants or native title holders (as relevant) in accordance with the Native Title Act.

6.10 Indigenous Land Use Agreements

The Searches indicate that all of the Tenements are wholly (100%) subject to the Yamatji Nation Indigenous Land Use Agreement ( Yamatji Nation ILUA ) which was registered on 30 July 2020. The ILUA is a standard agreement that is binding on the parties (which includes the State of Western Australia) and acts as an alternative to a determination of native title over the area.

The Yamatji Nation ILUA was negotiated between the people of the Yamatji Nation and the Western Australian State Government, primarily, and provides the people of the Yamatji Nation with a package of benefits that compensates them for acts that have impaired or extinguished their native title. In exchange for the benefits awarded

Page 10

Doc ID 848562203/v7

to the people if the Yamatji Nation, the future act regime has been removed from the area of the Yamatji Nation ILUA.

Under the Yamatji Nation ILUA, any mining tenements granted after the registration of the Yamatji Nation ILUA, will be subject to a condition which will require the tenement holder, prior to exercising any rights under the tenement, to execute and enter into either an Aboriginal heritage agreement with the Yamatji Southern Regional Corporation ( Regional Entity ) or a Yamatji Proponent Standard Heritage Agreement ( YPSHA ) with the Regional Entity and maintain such agreement for the term of the tenement. The Aboriginal heritage agreement and YPSHA are standard and uniform documents which are intended to assist the parties in complying with the WA Heritage Act and provides a clear, timetabled framework about their various Aboriginal heritage obligations.

A statutory declaration will need to be provided to the Minister once the Aboriginal heritage agreement or YPSHA (as the case may be) has been signed and offered to the Regional Entity, as evidence that the condition imposed on the relevant tenement has been complied with.

E70/5314, has been granted with the condition requiring the tenement holder to enter into an Aboriginal heritage agreement or YPSHA in respect to the Yamatji Nation ILUA. In respect to this condition, we are advised that the YPSHA for E70/5314 with the Regional Entity has been entered in to on 18 June 2021.

6.11 Compliance with the Validity of Tenements

With respect to the Tenements, we have assumed that, prior to grant, the Department was satisfied that the Native Title Act had been complied with. Provided that the Tenements are validly granted in accordance with the Native Title Act, they will be valid as against native title rights and interests.

7. Aboriginal heritage

7.1 General

Aboriginal heritage is protected by both Commonwealth legislation as well as legislation in each State and Territory of Australia.

7.2 Commonwealth Legislation

The Commonwealth Heritage Act is aimed at the preservation and protection of any Aboriginal objects that may be located on the Tenements.

Under the Commonwealth Heritage Act, the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs may make interim or permanent declarations of preservation in relation to significant Aboriginal areas or objects, which have the potential to halt exploration activities. Compensation is payable by the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs to a person who is, or is likely to be, affected by a permanent declaration of preservation.

It is an offence to contravene a declaration made under the Commonwealth Heritage Act.

Page 11

Doc ID 848562203/v7

We have not undertaken any searches in respect of the Commonwealth Heritage Act for the purposes of this Report.

7.3 Western Australian legislation

The provisions of the WA Heritage Act are endorsed on all tenements in Western Australia.

The WA Heritage Act protects all Aboriginal sites in Western Australia which meet the criteria in section 5 of the WA Heritage Act.

It is an offence under the WA Heritage Act to excavate, destroy, damage, conceal or in any way alter an Aboriginal site or any object on or under an Aboriginal site, unless the person or company is acting with the authority of the registrar or the consent of the relevant Minister. The offence applies regardless of whether the Aboriginal site has been entered on the Register of Aboriginal sites. It is a defence if the person (or company) charged can prove that he did not know and could not reasonably be expected to have known, that the place or object was protected by the WA Heritage Act.

A holder of a Western Australian mining tenement has the legislative right to submit an application under the WA Heritage Act seeking approval to disturb or destroy an Aboriginal site.

7.4

Proposed Aboriginal Heritage Bill

On 2 September 2020, the WA State Government released the draft Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Bill 2020 ( ACH Bill ) which is intended to replace the current WA Heritage Act. The ACH Bill proposes that proponents of resources projects will (depending on the type of activity to be carried out on the tenements) need to apply for an Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Permit or obtain approval of an Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Management Plan.

The ACH Bill also establishes an Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Council, with broader functions, intended to replace the current Aboriginal Cultural Material Committee, introduces a 'tiered' approvals system and a 'continuous disclosure' obligation, gives broad ministerial powers to issue orders to stop activities, prohibit activities or enforce remediation, and imposes harsher penalties for carrying out activities which harm Aboriginal cultural heritage, failing to report on Aboriginal cultural heritage or non-compliance.

Public consultation on the ACH Bill closed on 9 October 2020 and around 157 submissions were received in relation to the ACH Bill, the vast majority of which did not support the ACH Bill. The WA State Government has not yet indicated a date on which the ACH Bill will be passed into law.

7.5 Aboriginal sites and other heritage places on the Tenements

The AHIS Searches of the Tenements identified ten registered Aboriginal heritage sites within Tenements E66/102, E70/5130 and E70/5161, as shown in the below table.

A total of six of the other Aboriginal heritage places summarised above have been lodged but are not registered. As of the date of this Report, it has not been assessed to determine whether these places meet the criteria to be registered as an Aboriginal site or heritage place.

In respect to Aboriginal heritage sites, the AHIS search results do not mean that there are no other Aboriginal sites within the area of the Tenements. It is only an indication that no other Aboriginal sites have been registered in the area to date.

7.6 Aboriginal heritage agreements affecting the Tenements

As discussed above at paragraph 6.6, Department policy provides that applications for exploration licences will generally not be processed for grant through the Expedited Procedure unless the applicant for the licence provides evidence that an appropriate Aboriginal heritage agreement has been entered into with any affected registered Native Title Claimant ( NTC ) (if any).

Aboriginal heritage agreements will generally include a process of engagement between the parties to protect Aboriginal heritage. This process includes the

Page 14

Doc ID 848562203/v7

undertaking of heritage surveys to identify Aboriginal site. A procedure is usually included for the parties to consider the proposed works on the tenements, and decide on the best course of action given any potential impacts the proposed works may have on Aboriginal sites.

The Company has provided us with the following information in relation to the regional standard heritage agreements ( RSHA ) (or other heritage agreements) that relate to the Tenements:

Heritage Agreement (Pre -
Native Title Determination)
dated 25 October 2018
between Peter Romeo Gianni
and The Yamatji Marlpa
Aboriginal Corporation as agent
for the Hutt River Claimant
Group (as amended by
variation deed dated 9
November 2018).
Gianni must not enter or
conduct any exploration
activities or other activities
within the external boundaries
of the following areas:

200 metre buffer zone
around the Woolawar Gully
Site (ID 5467) located on
Tenement E66/102;

200 metre buffer zone
around the Northampton
Site (ID 5560) located on
Tenement E66/102; and

300 metre buffer zone
around the Bowes River
Site (ID 24416) located on
Tenements E66/102 and
E70//5161.
Gianni must not make an
application to enter or excavate
from exclusion zones above
pursuant to sections 16 and 18
of the WA Heritage Act.

The entry into Aboriginal heritage agreements is not a requirement of the WA Heritage Act but is an industry standard means of managing the risk of contravention of the WA Heritage Act where there is a NTC or other claim group with a recognised connection to the relevant land.

8. Land access

8.1 File Notation Areas

File Notation Areas ( FNAs ) are generally an indication of areas:

Page 15

Doc ID 848562203/v7

  • (a) where Government has proposed some change of land tenure that is being considered or endorsed by the Department for possible implementation; or

  • (b) areas of some sensitivity to activities by the mineral resource industry that warrants the application of specific tenement conditions.

The existence of an FNA will not, of itself, prevent the grant of a tenement or preclude exploration or mining activities.

FNAs may relate to land in respect of which Ministerial approval is sought under section 16(3) of the Mining Act. Section 16(3) requires prior Ministerial approval be obtained for any Crown land that is in a mineral field to be leased, transferred in fee simple, or otherwise disposed of under the provisions of the Land Administration Act 1997 (WA).

The Searches indicates that the following Tenements are overlapped by various FNA as further detailed in the table below.

8.2 Rare Flora and Threatened Ecological Communities

The Searches indicate that Tenements E70/5161 and E70/5314 encroach on sites (being site 93020 for E70/5161 and site 91305 for E70/5314) which have been gazetted as “rare flora” under the Wildlife Conservation Act 1950 (WA). These are sensitive sites and details are not generally released to the public and are not displayed on Tengraph. E70/5161 and E70/5314 are subject to endorsements which place the onus on the tenement holder to contact the DBCA to receive the population details and information on the management of the rare flora present within the tenement area.

E70/5161 also encroaches a threatened ecological community (specific details have not been obtained). A threatened ecological community is an ecological community

Page 17

Doc ID 848562203/v7

which is at risk of extinction. E70/5161 is also subject to an endorsement whereby the tenement holder is required to contact the Threatened Species and Communities Unit of the DBCA for detailed information on management on the threatened ecological community.

8.3 Dieback Risk Zones

Tenements E66/102, E70/5130 and E70/5161 encroach on areas which are dieback risk zones, as shown in the below table.

Tenement Dieback Risk Zone encroachment (%)
E66/102 99.06%
E70/5130 48.64%
E70/5161 96.66%

These tenements are subject to conditions whereby prior to commencing exploration activities, a dieback management plan must be provided to the Department for assessment and approval. Once the dieback management plan is approved, all exploration activities must comply with the dieback management plan.

The Company has advised that it is preparing a dieback management plan for E66/102, E70/5130 and E70/5161 in accordance with the 'Management of Dieback Disease in Mineral Exploration' guidelines issued by the Department.

8.4 Crown Reserves

Our Searches indicate that the land the subject of E66/102, E70/5130, E70/5160 and E70/5161 overlap several Crown Reserves, as shown in the below table.

A Crown Reserve refers to land set aside or “reserved” for a designated purpose (ie for parks, recreation, drainage or church sites) and is managed by the State of Western Australia or designated management authority/agency.

There are three different categories of Crown Reserves, with Class A having the highest form of protection, Class B having a medium form of protection and Class C, which forms the vast majority of reserves, having a lower level of protection.

The existence of a Crown Reserve may require additional approvals or plans to be implemented by the Company in order to progress with exploration activities on the Tenements. In respect to the above Tenements, although the encroachment on the various Crown Reserves is minimal, conditions have been imposed on the Tenements requiring the prior written consent of the Minister before commencing any exploration activities on the reserves.

4.10 Surface Tax

Surface tax is an annual tax levied in respect of mining titles, including exploration licenses. It is payable by the holders of such titles. Surface tax is calculated on the basis of the number of hectares of the area under license. Rates vary according to the type of the mining title, the nature of the mineral resource and the period the license has been held.

The surface tax relating to exploration licenses are set forth in the table be1ow:

MINERAL RESOURCES VALUE(MT) 6
Mineral water 85.000,00/mining title
Other mineral resources 1stto 5thyear: 30.00/ha
6thyear onwards: 60.00

4.11 Production Tax (Royalties)

Production tax is levied on the value of the quantity of mineral products extracted within Mozambican territory, regardless of the eventual sale, export or other disposition of such mineral products. In general, the value of the product is considered to be its sales price (or, if it is not sold in the relevant tax period, its market price).

Currently applicable rates of production tax are as follows.

Percentage of the value of the mineral product Percentage of the value of the mineral product
Description Rate
Diamonds 8%
Precious metals and stones 6%
Semi-precious stones 6%
Base minerals 3%
Coal and other products 3%

The Mining Tax Law sets forth the limited tax and customs incentives available to mining in Mozambique. New mining projects are exempt, for a five-year period from beginning of activities, from:

  • a) customs duties on the import of equipment (whether for exploration or for mining) that is classified as Class K of the Customs Tariffs Schedule;

  • b) customs duties on the import of certain specific equipment that is not so classified but is considered analogous to Class K goods; and

  • c) VAT and specific consumption tax, if any, that would otherwise be payable on the imports cited above.

To be eligible for the limited benefits described above, a taxpayer must:

  • a) have been authorized by the competent authority to undertake mining activities;

6 At the date of this opinion letter the exchange rate is 63,50 MT / 1.00 USD

Continuation 10 21 July 2021

  • b) hold a taxpayer identification number (NUIT);

  • c) keep organized accounts in accordance with the General Chart of Accounts ( Plano Geral de Contabilidade ) and the relevant tax code; and

  • d) not have committed tax crimes or other offenses recognized by the Tax Authority.

4.12 Performance Bond

The titleholder is required to post a performance bond (financial guarantee) equivalent to two percent (2%) of the value defined in the work program and minimum expenditure budget submitted as part of the mining title application process. The bond can be in the form of an insurance policy, a bank guarantee or a bank deposit in favour of the Ministry of Mineral Resources and Energy in an account exclusively for the purpose.

4.13 Transfer of Mining Titles

The transfer of a mining title or of mining rights (including an interest in a mining undertaking), whether direct or indirect, is subject to prior authorization from the Government, through MIREME, even if the transfer occurs outside Mozambique at the level of the parent or a group company.

Prior authorization of the Government is still required even if a transfer does not entail a change of control of the company that holds the mining rights.

“Indirect transfer” is understood to mean the sale and purchase of shares or any transfer of mining interests or the equity capital in a company directly or indirectly holding mining rights in Mozambique. “Direct transfer” is the transfer of the mining title itself.

Failure to comply with the foregoing prior approval rule results in such transfer being regarded as null and void and not being recognised by the Government.

The transfer of mining titles and/or mining rights may only occur two years after the beginning of the mining activity for which the titleholder was authorized.

The statutory timeline for the approval of the transfer of a mining title and/or rights is 180 days, counted from the date of submission of the respective application. Moreover, MIREME may seek to ensure that any capital gains tax (“CGT”) due is paid (or organized to be paid). Tax is payable on capital gains in all cases where mining assets and/or interests are transferred and the underlying asset and/or interest is in Mozambique, even where a transaction occurs through a share sale outside Mozambique. The generally applicable rate is thirty-two percent (32%).

For the purposes of applying for Government’s consent, the mining titleholder or its shareholder must submit an application letter addressed to the Minister. Note that the application is lodged at INAMI although addressed to the Minister.

Continuation 11 21 July 2021

The requirements that the application must meet are as follows:

  • a) application letter addressed to the Minister;

  • b) report of the activities performed;

  • c) declaration of the acceptance of the terms and conditions established in the mining titles by the transferee;

  • d) proof of technical and financial capacity of the transferee to conduct the mining operations pursuant to the mining title;

  • e) proof of experience of the transferee in the mining sector;

  • f) tax quitclaim of the transferee;

  • g) articles of association of the transferee published in the Official Gazette, with an express reference of mining activity in its corporate purpose;

  • h) shareholders' information, including the respective amount of the equity proportion in the company;

  • i) sale and purchase agreement.

INAMI has the discretionary powers to ask for any additional information it deems fit to better assess the application.

The Minister shall approve the transfer of a mining title and/or mining rights within 180 (one hundred and eighty) days counting from the date of submission of the conforming application. During that time, INAMI and MIREME check the status of the mining title and the level of compliance with the statutory obligations.

4.14 Mine Closure and Rehabilitation

A mine closure program shall be included in the submitted work program for the granting of the mining title. The mine closure program shall include methods and procedures to be carried out in the conception, development, construction, operation and closure of the mine, with a goal to deactivate the mine and implement the environmental rehabilitation of the area subjected to mining and the surrounding affected areas, including social, economic and cultural aspects. The financial guarantee which the mining concessionaire posts will also cover decommissioning of the mine.

A ‘Mineral Resource’ is a concentration or occurrence of solid material of
economic interest in or on the Earth’s crust in such form, quality, and quantity
that there are reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction. The
location, quantity, quality, continuity, and other geological characteristics of
a Mineral Resource are known, estimated, or interpreted from specific
geological evidence and knowledge, including sampling. Mineral Resources
are sub-divided, in order of increasing geological confidence, into Inferred,
Indicated, and Measured categories.
Millions of tonnes per annum
An ‘Ore Reserve’ is the economically mineable part of a Measured and/or
Indicated Mineral Resource. It includes diluting materials and allowances for
losses, which may occur when the material is mined or extracted and is
defined by studies at Pre-Feasibility or Feasibility level as appropriate that
include the application of Modifying Factors. Such studies demonstrate that,
at the time of reporting, extraction could reasonably be justified.
The reference point at which Reserves are defined, usually, the point where
Ore is delivered to the processing plant must be stated. It is important that,
in all situations where the reference point is different, such as for a saleable
product, a clarifying statement is included to ensure that the reader is fully
informed as to what is being reported.

Executive Summary

Mining Insights Pty Ltd (Mining Insights) was engaged by Heavy Minerals Limited (“HVY” or “Company”) to prepare an Independent Geologist Report (“IGR” or "Report"). The IGR is to be included in a prospectus issued by the Company and dated on or about 27 July 2021 for an initial public offer of 27,500,000 shares at an issue price of $0.20 each to raise $5,500,000 (Minimum Subscription) (before costs) on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX).

The funds raised will primarily be used for the purposes of exploration and evaluation of the Port Gregory Project (Gregory Project or Project) located in Western Australia. The Port Gregory Project comprises five (5) granted exploration licenses (E66/102, E70/5130, E70/5160, E70/5161 and E70/5314).

The Report is complete up to 22 July 2021. A draft of the technical component of the report was provided to HVY, along with a written request to identify any material errors or omissions before lodgement.

Mining Insights has provided and not withdrawn written consent for the inclusion of the Report in the prospectus, and to the inclusion of statements made by Mining Insights and to the references to its name in other sections of the prospectus, in the form and context in which the Report and those statements appear.

Port Gregory Project

Exploration Licences E 66/102, E 70/5130, E 70/5160, E 70/5161 and E 70/5314 form the Port Gregory project covering 71 blocks or 181 km[2] of the established mineralogical terrain of the Hutt River Garnet area within the Shire of Northampton in the mid-west coastal region of Western Australia. The prospect targets marine and aeolian sequences of the Tamala Limestone. It is situated approximately 45-60 km north of Geraldton, 45-65 km south of Kalbarri, and 40 km north-west from Northampton. Tenements are approximately 5km from GMA’s active Port Gregory garnet mine.

Geology

The heavy minerals in the known deposits in Western Australia were ultimately, but indirectly, derived from the weathering of crystalline igneous rocks in the Archean Yilgarn Block. Heavy mineral grains derived from the Yilgarn Block were initially deposited in thick sequences of Mesozoic sediments that filled the Perth Basin. The tenement area lies in the most northerly part of the Perth Basin, on the western side of the Northampton Block.

The Tamala Limestone, a belt of coastal limestone extends up to 8.0 km inland. It is composed of eolianite, which accumulated originally as coastal sand dunes in the late Pleistocene. This has developed over a basement of late Cretaceous age Winning Group sediments which can be seen outcropping near Yanganooka Well. Several erosional scarps have been developed on the seaward side of the Tamala Limestone, one of which is equivalent to the strand-line mineralisation to the south. Fossil crescent dunes can also be distinguished on top of the large massive limestone area which may be of early Pleistocene age.

The sands contain significant localised enrichments of heavy minerals, notably garnet (almandine variety) and to a lesser extent ilmenite. The heavy minerals are thought to be derived from garnet-bearing Precambrian Granulites and migmatites of the Northampton Shield. The sands appear to have been deposited when the sea level was about 6m higher than today, possibly during the last interglacial peak.

Exploration

Limited exploration has been carried out on these tenements. Most of the exploration activities have been focused on reviewing data and geological mapping. Between 2013 and 2014, GMA completed a 73-hole Air Core (AC) drilling program on the E70/5160 and E70/5314 tenement area.

The historical exploration at the Port Gregory Project is encouraging with reasonable garnet grades identified and its proximity to an operating garnet mine.

Summary

Based on its review of the previous work, Mining Insights considers that the Port Gregory Project has merit and is worthy of further exploration. Mining Insights concludes that the HVY portfolio of tenements is an attractive brownfield exploration opportunity.

HVY’s proposed exploration program consists of exploration and drilling & resource evaluation phases along with metallurgical test work and techno-economic assessments. Mining Insights considers the HVY exploration strategy to be justified and appropriate. A summary of the proposed exploration expenditure is shown in the table below.

Exploration Expenditure Budget

Proposed Work Budget ($'000)
Year 1 Year 2 Total
Geological Assessment & Mapping 150 75 225
Drilling (including Assays) 600 475 1,075
Resource Estimation 60 60 120
Metallurgical Testing 60 120 180
Scoping/ Feasibility Studies 150 250 400
Tenement Management 70 50 120
Exploration Management 100 100 200
Total ($'000) 1,190 1130 2,320

The proposed budget allocations are considered consistent with the exploration potential of the Port Gregory Project and are considered adequate to cover the costs of the proposed program. The budgeted expenditures are also considered sufficient to meet the minimum statutory expenditure on these tenements.

The Independent Geologist’s Report has been prepared on information available up to and including 22 July 2021 and Mining Insights is not aware of any material change to the Company’s mineral interests since that date.

2 Tenements

2.1 Introduction to HVY

HVY is an unlisted mineral resource company with its current headquarters in Perth, Australia. HVY has acquired a portfolio of mineral sand exploration tenements (jointly Port Gregory) in Western Australia.

HVY is focused on the exploration and development of the mineral sand deposits of the Port Gregory tenement package, located in close proximity to GMA’s operating mineral sands mine near Geraldton, Western Australia.

2.2 Company Strategy

The Company is now seeking to list on the ASX to fund the future evaluation and assessment of its exploration projects. HVY’s exploration focus in Australia is its Port Gregory Garnet bearing Mineral Sands Project. The Port Gregory Project includes the following exploration tenements:

  • E 66/102,

  • E 70/5130,

  • • E 70/5160,

  • E 70/5161 and

  • • E 70/5314.

Figure 2:1 shows the location of the Port Gregory Project.

HVY plans to increase shareholder value by spending up to $2,320,000 from the funds raised under the Prospectus on an intensive exploration program over the two years following the listing.

The Company has identified several targets on which it will commence immediate work following listing. During the first 12 months, the Company will review historical exploration data to identify and rank new exploration targets before commencing a detailed exploration program.

==> picture [107 x 42] intentionally omitted <==

2.3 Location

The Port Gregory Project is located on the west coast of Western Australia. The tenure is located approximately 45-60 km north of Geraldton, 45-65 km south of Kalbarri, and 40 km north-west from Northampton. The capital of Western Australia, Perth, is located approximately 450 km to the south of the project.

2.4 Site Access

The area is easily accessible going north from Geraldton, or south from Kalbarri. The Horrocks Road and George Grey Drive transect the project area. The George Grey Drive connects with Gregory Road which goes to Northampton. The project area is approximately 4.5 to 5 hours’ drive from Perth.

2.5 Climate and Topography

The climate across Western Australia varies from the semi-continental Mediterranean with relatively cool, wet winters contrasted by hot and dry summers in the southwest and much of the coast, to semi-arid and desert conditions in the east, to tropical in the north.

Daily maximum temperatures range from 30°C to approximately 45°C during the summer months (December to February), falling to minimum temperatures of 15°C to 25°C during winter. The average annual rainfall is in the order of 266 mm, with a large proportion of this rain falling in the winter months. There are 80-100 days of rain per year. Average wind speeds are generally less than 3 m/sec, with the predominant wind direction being from the South to Southwest.

The topography is moderately undulating to steep in places at the coastal edge of the lithified dunes. The vegetation throughout the area is structurally altered with obvious signs of disturbance and comprises sand heaths with emergent Banksia and Actinostrobus, York Gum woodlands on alluvial plains and Acacia scrubs on limestone depending on the depth of the coastal sand mantle and alluvial plains.

2.6 Tenement Status

The tenements under review in this Report and their current status are summarised in Table 2:1.

HVY holds the rights to these tenements (E66/102, E70/5130, E70/5160 and E70/5161) via an option to acquire these tenements from Peter Romeo Gianni. HVY also has an option to acquire the exploration license E70/5314 from Mining Equities Pty Ltd.

The status of the tenements has been verified based on a recent independent inquiry of the Department of Mines and Petroleum, WA, Mineral Titles On-Line database (source: www.dmp.wa.gov.au) by Mining Insights.

Expenditure commitments on the tenements have been expended in full and rent payments are up to the date of this Report. Mining Insights is not aware of any royalty agreement or any outstanding matters that may affect the conduct of exploration on the tenements in a timely manner.

Readers are referred to the Solicitor’s report in the Prospectus for further information on the legal status associated with the tenure of the Project.

2.7 Adjacent Property

GMA Garnet Pty Ltd (GMA) operates a garnet mine that is adjacent to the HVY’s E70/5160 tenement and close to other leases of the Port Gregory Project (Figure 2:2).

GMA reported annual production of 1.8 Mt of Run-of-Mine Ore during 2011-2012 (Wamex Report a94492) Table 2:2 details the GMA’s Ore reserves and Mineral Resources at that time.

The mineral deposit consists of recent coastal sand that was deposited when the sea level was about 5 - 6 m higher than today, probably during the last interglacial peak about 20,000 years ago. The deposits lap up against older coastal sands of the Tamala Limestone which is in the form of a wave-cut escarpment on its western exposure. The sands are mostly of dunal deposition and display typical aeolian cross-bedding in pit sections. Some remnant strandline zones are present within lower sections of the sands. Lime-cemented nodules are common, having formed through in-situ precipitation of calcium carbonate dissolved from shell grains by rainwater percolation.

GMA’s ore is mined by standard open-cut sand mining methods using front-end loaders, excavators and dump trucks. The treatment plant is a typical mineral sands wet gravity separation plant consisting of spirals and hydro-sizers that are used to produce garnet and ilmenite enriched concentrates. Tailings are returned to the trailing side of the pits which are progressively rehabilitated following contouring and soil replacement. The dewatered concentrates are stockpiled on-site for further draining before being trucked to GMA’s Geraldton dry processing plant. Garnet and ilmenite products plus zircon concentrate (sold for further processing) are produced at GMA’s dry processing plant using standard mineral sands separation equipment.

3 Geological Settings

3.1 Regional Geology

The heavy minerals in the known deposits in Western Australia were ultimately, but indirectly, derived from the weathering of crystalline igneous rocks in the Archean Yilgarn Block. Heavy mineral grains derived from the Yilgarn Block were initially deposited in thick sequences of Mesozoic sediments that filled the Perth Basin. There was some local degree of concentration of heavy minerals in these sediments relative to the primary source areas, in places reaching potential ore grades. For example, the Beenup deposit is thought to be Mesozoic in age. Erosion and reworking of the relatively soft Mesozoic sediments, particularly those parts of the stratigraphic sequence dominated by coarse sandstones and grits, subsequently released the heavy minerals into the strand deposits.

The tenement area lies in the most northerly part of the Perth Basin, on the western side of the Northampton Block.

The Tamala Limestone, a belt of coastal limestone extends up to 8.0 km inland. It is composed of eolianite, which accumulated originally as coastal sand dunes in the late Pleistocene. This has developed over a basement of late Cretaceous age Winning Group sediments which can be seen outcropping near Yanganooka Well. Several erosional scarps have been developed on the seaward side of the Tamala Limestone, one of which is equivalent to the strand-line mineralisation to the south. Fossil crescent dunes can also be distinguished on top of the large massive limestone area which may be of early Pleistocene age.

Mobile coastal dunes, equivalent to the Safety Bay Sand, are extensively developed and in the northern part transgress over the Tamala Limestone. They are divided into a coastal zone of large mobile longitudinal and crescent dunes, from an inner zone of older, stabilized and more sparsely distributed crescent dunes.

3.2 Project Geology

The local geology is dominated by dunal accumulations of grey to brown to white sand and Limesand. These sediments are thought to be Quaternary in age and overlay Silurian aged Tumblagooda Sandstone which is composed of a Red-bed sequence of sandstone; siltstone; and minor conglomerate. They locally appear to have been deposited in an embayment eroded into the Tumblagooda Sandstone.

The Limesand has been partially indurated with carbonate cementation and sandy limestone is locally developed. The older the formation the more induration appears to be developed.

3.3 Mineralisation

The sands contain significant localised enrichments of heavy minerals, notably garnet (almandine variety) and to lesser extent ilmenite. The heavy minerals are thought to be derived from garnet-bearing Precambrian granulites and migmatites of the Northampton Shield. The sands appear to have been deposited when the sea level was about 5 to 6 m higher than today, possibly during the last interglacial peak.

Heavy mineral concentrations form in 2 main coastal settings (strand deposits and Dunal deposits) which are believed to be present within the exploration area:

Strand deposits form on the beach itself, mainly in the mid to back-beach sections, above the normal zone of wave action (Figure 3:3). They are characterised by:

  • High grades.

  • Relatively coarse grain size.

  • Well sorted and rounded grains.

  • Low to moderate clay content.

  • Excellent long-shore continuity.

Transportation of sands from south to north along the coast naturally concentrates the heavy minerals forming these potentially narrow but laterally extensive strand deposits (Strand deposits that maybe only 50-200 m wide can be 10-20 kilometres long).

==> picture [452 x 214] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 3:3 Typical WA Idealised section of a Beach Profile Source: Wamex Report a72216

Dunal deposits develop behind the beach. Heavy minerals tend to concentrate on exposed dune faces or in hollows where mobile sand drops its heavier components (Figure 3:3). These dune systems are typically:

  • Low to moderate grade.

  • Finer grained.

  • Less well sorted.

Independent Geologist Report

Heavy Minerals Ltd.

==> picture [107 x 42] intentionally omitted <==

  • Higher in fine silt and clays ("slimes’').

Dunal deposits are less regular and continuous in form than strands, but sometimes large.

==> picture [452 x 243] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 3:4 Schematic Section of WA Strands Source: Wamex Report a72216

Deposits can also form in lagoonal or estuarine environments behind the beach and some deposits form in riverbed sediments. The exploration licence backs onto the Hutt Lagoon which may be a prime target for heavy mineral deposition.

The formation of substantial strand deposits is dependent on the form of the coastline. In simple terms, deposits will accumulate where there is an obstacle to long-shore sediment migration or where a large embayment disrupts major current flows and wave directions. When this is combined with changing sea levels over time it can allow for the formation of multiple strandlines and a potentially very significant concentration of heavy minerals, as demonstrated in Figure 3:4.

4 Previous Exploration Work

Limited exploration has been carried out on these tenements. Most of the exploration activities were focused on data reviews and geological mapping surrounding the GMA’s Garnet Mine (outside the tenement covered in this Report).

Between 2013 and 2014, GMA completed a 73-hole Air Cored (AC) drilling program on the current E70/5160 and E70/5314 tenement area.

4.1 Drilling

GMA completed a 73-drill hole Air Cored (AC) drilling program for a total of 2441.5 m on tenements E70/510 and E70/5314 (Table 4:2).

Table 4:2 Drilling, GMA (2013,2014)

E70/5160 51 1680 7.5 - 63
E70/5314 22 761.5 6 - 62

Source: Wamex a117125

The drilling had the primary objective of:

  • Testing continuity of known mineral sand zones

  • Extension of mining activities

All holes were drilled at 90°. Drilling was conducted by Wallis Drilling Pty Ltd using a 4x4 truck mounted NQ size AC drilling rig. Samples were taken at 3 m vertical intervals except for the top 0.3 m of soil and where tightly cemented limestone calcrete (caprock) or hard basement (Tumblagooda Sandstone) was encountered. All drilling was above the water table with an average drilling depth of 35 m. Three (3) metre samples were collected and analysed by GMA.

Significant intersects included:

  • E09-05: 39 m @ 3.6 % Garnet

  • • E10-01: 27 m @ 10.6% Garnet • E25-18: 20 m @ 7.8% Garnet

Further details are included in JORC Table 1 (Appendix A). Details of the drill hole information and significant assay results from drilling (>1.5% Garnet in the total sample) are included in Table 1 and Table 2 respectively in Appendix B.

4.2 Exploration Target

Previous exploration activities by GMA were carried out on tenement E 70/5160, with a total of 52 holes for 1725 m and 589 assays completed. These assays included total heavy minerals (HM), slimes (SL) and Oversize (OS) as well as mineralogy assays (magnetics, ilmenite and garnet). The drill hole and assay information was used to develop a 3D block model in Datamine using the following steps:

  • The 52 holes were constrained with an upper topography surface generated from the collar coordinates.

  • The end of hole was used as the lower basement constraint. These constraints were selected to prevent assay grades from being interpolated

  • A perimeter string was developed around the drill hole collar locations with an offset of approximately 200 m north and south and 80-100 m east and west.

  • A block model was created by filling cells between the two constraining surfaces using a parent cell size of 50 x 100 x 3 m in XYZ.

  • An assumed bulk density of 1.7 g/cm[3] was used to estimate model tonnages.

  • Assay grades were interpolated into the block model using inverse distance weighting (cubed).

The cut-off grade and distance from drill data were applied to the extrapolated block model which is the basis for the Exploration Target. The Exploration Target is based on the current geological understanding of the mineralisation geometry, subsurface geochemistry and regional geology. Figure 4:1 shows the block model while Figure 4:2 shows the plans for the grade and thickness from the block model.

Figure 4:2 E70-5160: Block Model Plans – Grade (LHS) and Thickness (RHS)

An Exploration Target was estimated by reporting tonnages between two grade cut-off ranges, the lower at 1.5% HM and the upper at 2.5% HM. No assumed minimum thicknesses or other constraints were used to estimate the Exploration Target. This Exploration Target takes into consideration the natural variation of the garnet grade. A summary of the Exploration Target is presented in Table 4:3.

The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource in this area and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.

The Exploration Target, being conceptual in nature, takes no account of geological complexity, possible mining method or metallurgical recovery factors. The Exploration Target was estimated in order to provide an assessment of the potential scale of exploration at E70/5160. The Company intends to test the Exploration Target with further drilling over the next 12-month period.

5 Project Risks

Mineral exploration and development are high-risk undertakings. There can be no assurance that the exploration of acquired projects will result in the discovery of an economic mineral resource.

Mining Insights has identified a range of risk elements or risk factors that may affect the future exploration and operational performance of the Project. The future exploration activities of the Company may be affected by a range of factors including geological conditions, limitations on activities due to seasonal weather patterns, unanticipated operational and technical difficulties, industrial and environmental accidents, native title process, changing government regulations and many other factors beyond the control of the Company.

Some of the risk factors are completely external and beyond the control of management. However, project-specific risks can be mitigated by taking the proper measures in advance. Key project risks that have been identified are discussed below.

5.1 Historical Exploration Work

Much of the existing data in this Report is based on historical records, primarily sourced from WAMEX database and reports. Whilst Mining Insights’ review has been thorough, it is possible under certain circumstances that not all reports were covered. In some instances, WAMEX references could not be validated by the data provided, particularly for older exploration programs.

5.2 Exploration Risk

The exploration risks associated with the project are generic and common to most greenfield exploration projects, and in Mining Insights’ opinion do not pose a significantly higher risk than any other early-stage exploration project.

5.3 Resources & Reserve Risk

No Mineral Resource or Ore Reserve has been reported within the tenements. Moving forward it may be possible that further exploration, geological and metallurgical assessment may result in no mineral resource being delineated which would have a material impact on the technical value of the concession.

5.4 Processing Risk

No mineral processing studies have been conducted so far. Tests would need to be carried out in the future to ensure processing was economically viable.

Independent Geologist Report

Heavy Minerals Ltd.

26

==> picture [107 x 42] intentionally omitted <==

5.5 Commodity Price Risk

As with any mining project, market factors such as commodity price and demand play a significant role in the profitability and potential viability of a project. Some of these factors are out of the companies control but some risks can be mitigated through careful planning. HM prices and their demand are traditionally cyclical in nature and subject to significant fluctuations.

5.6 Mine Infrastructure Associated Risk

Fortunately, accessibility to the project is relatively good, a significant mine infrastructure facility including process plant and power infrastructure would need to be developed before the commencement of mining activity. Alternatively, access to these facilities including accommodation camp and processing plant could potentially be negotiated with other companies in the vicinity.

5.7 Approvals, Tenure, and Permits

The Project already has an approved Exploration Permits, however, during actual mining operations, many permits and approvals may be required to commence mining operations and the associated infrastructure facilities. Any delays associated with obtaining the required approvals may affect the production and the mine plan.

5.8 Environmental and Social Risks

While some of the environmental and social risks have been identified as part of Exploration Lease approval, further work would be required prior to the Mining Lease approval. Failure to comply with the environment criteria or failure to maintain good relationships with the local community could impact project advancement.

6 Proposed Exploration Program

6.1 Recommendations

Western Australia is a well-endowed region for a variety of commodities, including heavy minerals, gold, iron ore, nickel and base metals. As a result, there is a well-established infrastructure, including ports at Geraldton and Port Hedland, as well as numerous mining centres for skilled labour supply.

The project in this Report has shown evidence of mineralisation proximal to an existing mining operation, however, the project tenements also cover a significant area in line with the neighbouring mining operations deposits that have yet to be properly explored. Given the typical behaviour of these types of mineral deposits to be laterally extensive along the coastline, there is good potential for further high-grade heavy mineral sand deposits to be discovered. The combination of these factors means the prospect of obtaining significant mineralisation is considered good.

In Mining Insights’ opinion, the historical work carried out by GMA has been highly encouraging and warrants follow up exploration. The area of these tenements (E 66/102, E 70/5130, E 70/5160, E 70/5161 and E 70/5314) contains known occurrences of mineral sands endowed with Garnet and minor Ilmenite with AC drilling returning encouraging results. The local mineral sands mine operated by GMA produces high-grade Garnet concentrates in the Project vicinity.

The project area is considered to be prospective for Garnet bearing mineral sands. Further work which could advance the project includes:

  • Geological mapping and sand sampling;

  • Acquisition of detailed airborne magnetic data to map areas of magnetic mineral accumulations;

  • Drilling in known prospects (AC);

  • Mineral Resource estimation;

  • Metallurgical test work;

  • Engineering and infrastructure studies;

  • Exploration of the previously unexplored tenements to try and find extensions of the deposit being mined by GMA.

The Independent Geologist believes the Project has sufficient technical merit to justify ongoing exploration and development.

6.2 Proposed Exploration Program

HVY has proposed a staged program of exploration for its Western Australian projects over a two (2) year period following its listing on the ASX. HVY’s program going forward will mainly focus on drilling, resource modelling, metallurgical test work and technoeconomic assessment. The following exploration activities are proposed during the next two (2) year period:

Independent Geologist Report

Heavy Minerals Ltd.

28

==> picture [107 x 42] intentionally omitted <==

6.2.1 Desktop Studies

HVY plans to continue rigorous desktop evaluation of the project area over the coming 12 months. This will include the evaluation and re-interpretation of historical geological data for additional target generation.

6.2.2 Geological Mapping

HVY plans to complete some basic geological reconnaissance and sampling along the known mineralisation area.

6.2.3 Drilling Program

Mining Insights shares the opinion of HVY, that the previous AC drilling completed was limited in extent and is currently insufficient to delineate a large HM deposit. HVY envisages an initial program of drilling consisting of 300 exploration holes for 12,000m (average 40m depth) to a maximum depth of 70 m.

Exploratory drilling in the “undrilled tenements” of approximately 250 holes for 10,000m will be guided by geological mapping carried out in the initial phases post-listing.

6.2.4 Mineral Resource Estimation

HVY plans complete mineral resource estimation and reporting in accordance with the JORC Code, 2012 after completion of additional drilling.

6.2.5 Metallurgical Test Work

The metallurgical test work program is proposed in both years. Test work will use representative samples collected during the drilling program. Metallurgical test work will focus on grade and recovery along with identification of an optimised process route.

6.2.6 Techno-Economic Studies

HVY envisages completing a techno-economic assessment of the project after completion of additional drilling, resource modelling and metallurgical test work to evaluate the techno-economic viability of the project.

6.3 Planned Work Expenditure

HVY has planned a systematic exploration program targeting the prospective stratigraphy and exploration activities will initially focus on key targets within the granted tenure. Activities will include geological mapping, drilling, mineral resource modelling, metallurgical test work and project techno-economic scoping studies.

Broader, regional exploration programs to investigate mineral occurrences outside the key prospect targets within the granted Concessions will be targeted later. Table 6:1 shown the proposed exploration expenditure over the next two years. Exploration expenditure budget is the same for the minimum to maximum capital raise subscription.

Mining Insights considers that the exploration programs and budgets proposed by the Company are appropriate given the relatively early development stage of the Project, having regard to the strategy and priorities of the Company and are based on sound technical merit.

7 Conclusions

Mining Insights concludes that the HVY portfolio of projects presents exposure to an attractive range of greenfield exploration opportunities. The tenements are well-positioned and hold the potential for the discovery of potentially viable heavy mineral sand deposits. Further exploration and evaluation work are warranted on each of the exploration tenement areas.

The proposed budget allocations are considered consistent with the exploration potential and are considered adequate to cover the costs of the proposed programmes. The budgeted expenditures are also considered sufficient to meet the minimum statutory expenditure on these Exploration Tenements.

The Independent Geologist’s Report has been prepared on information available up to and including 22 July 2021 and Mining Insights is not aware of any material change to the company’s mineral interests since that date.

Criteria Explanation Comment
Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or
specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to
the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or
handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as
limiting the broad meaning of sampling.
The deposit was sampled using Air-Core (AC), top drive
rotary open hole drilling.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and
the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.
An estimate was made of the approximate size of the
samples expected based on the drilling interval, the size of
the drill rod and the split taken from the drill rig sampling
cyclone. The size of the split was in line with expectations.
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the
Public Report. In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done
this would be relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was used
to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g
charge for fire assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required,
such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems.
Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules)
may warrant disclosure of detailed information.
AC drilling was used to obtain 3m samples unless harder
intervals were encountered. Drillbit size was NQ.
Drilling
techniques
Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air
blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple or
standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type,
whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc).
AC drilling accounts for 100 per cent of the total drilling. All
holes are drilled vertically with no downhole surveying to
confirm hole direction

Verification of
sampling and
assaying
The verification of significant intersections by either independent or
alternative company personnel.
Verification of intersections was limited to checking for
variance between logged estimates of grade and the
assayed grades. No significant variances were identified
that warranted any re-assay.
The use of twinned holes. No holes were twinned during the drilling program.
Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data
verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols.
Information was not available in WAMAX reports.
Discuss any adjustment to assay data. Information was not available in WAMAX reports.
Location of data

Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and
down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in
Mineral Resource estimation.
Information was not available in WAMAX reports.
Specification of the grid system used. The grid system used is GDA94 spheroid and the grid is MGA
Zone 50.
Quality and adequacy of topographic control. Information was not available in WAMAX reports.

160 m across strike of mineralisation and between 450 m to
1000 m along strike.
Whether sample compositing has been applied. No sample compositing or de-compositing has been applied.
The majority of sampling was taken on 3m intervals.
Orientation of
data in relation
to geological
structure
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of
possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the
deposit type.
Sample
orientation
is
vertical
and
approximately
perpendicular to the dip and strike of the mineralisation
resulting in true thickness estimates. Drilling and sampling
were carried out on a regular rectangular grid that is
broadly aligned to the strike of the orebody mineralisation.
If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of
key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling
bias, this should be assessed and reported if material.
No bias caused by the orientation of drill holes is anticipated
from drilling vertical holes into a mineral sands deposit.
Sample security The measures are taken to ensure sample security. Information was not available in WAMAX reports.
Audits or reviews The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. Information was not available in WAMAX reports.

Drill
hole
Information
A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration
results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill
holes:
-easting and northing of the drill hole collar
-elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the
drill hole collar
-dip and azimuth of the hole
-down hole length and interception depth
-hole length.
If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information
is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of
the report, the Independent Geologist should clearly explain why this is the case.
All drill hole collar locations and significant drill results
have been identified in Appendix B of this report.
No relevant material data has been excluded from this
report.
Data aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum
and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off
grades are usually Material and should be stated.
No grade cutting was undertaken, nor compositing or
aggregation of grades made prior or post the grade
interpolation into the block model. Selection of the
bottom basal contacts of the mineralised domains were
made based on discrete logging and grade information
collected and assayed by GMA.
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results
and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such
aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations
should be shown in detail.
Not applicable - all samples are 3 m long, unless harder
intervals were encountered

Criteria Explanation Comment
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be
clearly stated.
No metal equivalents were used for reporting of Mineral
Resources.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept lengths
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration
Results.
All drill holes are vertical and perpendicular to the dip and
strike of mineralisation and therefore all interceptions
are approximately true thickness.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is
known, its nature should be reported.
Drill holes are inferred to intersect the mineralisation
approximately perpendicularly.
If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be
a clear statement to this effect (eg ‘down hole length, true width not known’).
The deposit is flat-laying and so the vertical holes are
assumed
to
intersect
the
true
width
of
any
mineralisation.
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts
should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should
include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and
appropriate sectional views.
Refer to main body of report.
Balanced reporting Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be
practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results.
Reporting of results is restricted to reporting of drilling
results only.

Other substantive
exploration data
Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported
including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey
results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of
treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical
and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances.
Samples have not yet been tested for in situ density.
Further work The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for lateral extensions or
depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling).
Further work via infill mineral assemblage composite
sampling is recommended.
Exploration by geophysical and drilling is planned on
other parts of the tenement.

The Directors Mozmin Resources Pty Ltd Level 11, 216 St Georges Terrace Perth WA 6000

Dear Directors

Heavy Minerals Limited (HVY or the Company) has commissioned SRK Consulting (Australasia) Pty Ltd (SRK) to provide an Independent Geologist’s Report (IGR) on the Inhambane mineral sands project located in Mozambique. It is SRK’s understanding that this Report is to be included in a Prospectus to be issued in support of a proposed listing on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). The purpose of this Prospectus is to offer 27,500,000 shares at an issue price of A$0.20 per share to raise A$5.5 Million, before the costs of issue (Prospectus).

The objective of this Report is to present and comment on the reasonableness of the information supporting HVY’s Inhambane Project, with a particular focus on tenure, geological setting, Mineral Resources, previous mining and/or exploration work, development plans, infrastructure, environment, social, opportunities and uncertainties, as well as an opinion on the exploration potential and commentary on HVY’s proposed costed exploration programs over the next 2 years.

Standard of the Report

This IGR summarises the findings of SRK’s independent technical review and has been prepared in order to satisfy the rules and requirements of the ASX.

This Report has been prepared to the standard of, and is considered by SRK to be, a Technical Assessment Report under the guidelines of the 2015 edition of the Australasian Code for the Public Reporting of Technical Assessments and Valuations of Mineral Assets (VALMIN Code). The VALMIN Code incorporates the 2012 Edition of the Australasian Code for the Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC Code).

It should be noted that the authors of this Report are Members of either the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (AusIMM) or the Australian Institute of Geoscientists (AIG) and, as such, are bound by both the VALMIN Code and the JORC Code. For the avoidance of doubt, this Report has been prepared according to:

  • The 2015 edition of the Australasian Code for the Public Reporting of Technical Assessments and Valuations of Mineral Assets (VALMIN Code)

  • The 2012 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC Code).

This Report is not a Valuation Report and does not express an opinion regarding the value of the mineral assets or tenements involved, nor the fairness and reasonableness of any transaction between HVY and any other parties.

Information basis of this Report

Data and information on the assets used to prepare this Report are referenced throughout the Report.

SRK has derived the technical information on which this Report is based from information provided by HVY. SRK has supplemented this information, where necessary, with information from its own geological databases, or information available within the public domain. However, where discrepancies have arisen and no alternative comments have been provided, the data and interpretations provided by HVY prevail. The past exploration history for the tenements has been derived from reports by previous explorers, as provided by HVY and verified by SRK, as well as government records of exploration activities within the project area.

The principal sources of information are included in a reference list at the end of the Report. The Report includes information available up to the date of this Report. HVY has stated that all information provided by HVY may be presented in the Report and that none of the information is regarded as being confidential.

Activities undertaken as part of this assignment included visiting HVY’s Inhambane Project in Mozambique on Thursday 7 September 2017. SRK conducted background research, including searches of government datasets and public domain data sources. The work included a review of HVY’s proposed exploration program and budget.

Legal matters

SRK has not been engaged to comment on any legal matters.

SRK notes that it is not qualified to make legal representations in regard to the ownership and legal standing of the mineral assets that are the subject of this Report. SRK has not attempted to confirm the legal status of the tenements with respect to ownership, acquisition or joint venture agreements, local heritage or potential environmental or land access restrictions. Instead, SRK has relied on information provided by HVY. SRK has prepared this IGR on the understanding that all the tenements of HVY are currently in good standing or pending, and that there is no cause to doubt the eventual granting of any tenement applications.

SRK understands that the current ownership status and legal standing of the tenements are dealt with in a separate Solicitor’s Report contained elsewhere within this Prospectus.

While SRK has exercised all due care in reviewing the supplied information, SRK does not accept responsibility for finding any errors or omissions contained therewithin and disclaims any liability for any consequences of such errors or omissions.

This Report includes technical information, which required subsequent calculations to derive subtotals, totals and weighted averages. Such calculations may involve a degree of rounding and consequently introduce an error. Where such errors occur, SRK does not consider them to be material.

Project team

This Report has been prepared by a team of consultants from SRK’s offices in Brisbane, London and Perth, Australia. SRK’s Project Manager for this Project was Jeames McKibben, a Principal Consultant (Project Evaluation) with over 25 years’ experience.

Comment

HVY has advised SRK that it has prepared a funded work program at its Inhambane Project comprising A$250,000, which will be attributed to geological mapping, aeromagnetic geophysical surveying and geochemical sampling (Funded Works). At present, the Company considers it prudent not to allocate further funding to the Inhambane Project until such time as it is able to confirm the transfer of interests in the Inhambane Project have been recognised by Government of Mozambique (Mozambique Approval).

Pending receipt of the Mozambique Approval, HVY has prepared a further work plan at its Inhambane Project, comprising A$910,000, which will be attributed to exploration drilling, Resource estimation, limited metallurgical testing and the commencement of initial techno-economic studies (Further Works). The Further Works are currently unfunded and in the event that the Mozambique Approval is received, the Company may resolve to do one or more of the following:

  • divert some of the funding from working capital or future acquisition costs to the Inhambane Project; or

  • raise new capital to fund the Further Works, or

  • resolve not to undertake some or all of the Further Works.

SRK considers this to be a prudent approach and allows for flexibility in the exploration program. The Further Works will allow for HVY to define any additional targets areas that warrant follow up exploration, upgrade the presently defined Mineral Resource and advance their assessment through the commencement of preliminary techno-economic studies.

The Inhambane Project is within a district with established mineral sands resources, and SRK considers there is reasonable potential to establish additional Mineral Resources within the tenements to which HVY has title.

Yours faithfully

Overview of the Project

Introduction

The following section includes summary details in respect of the Mineral Assets including mineral tenure, historical technical studies, Mineral Resources and the Company’s Work Program.

Title and rights

HVY’s equity interests in the Inhambane Project in Mozambique are held via two wholly owned subsidiary companies, Mozmin Resources Pty Ltd (Australia) and Mozmin Resources Limited (Mauritus) (Mozmin), following a transaction between Mozmin and +258 Limitada (hereinafter +258), a Mozambique incorporated company in April 2016. Under the terms of this agreement, Mozmin has

MCKI/BROW/kear

acquired a 70% interest in +258 and thus in its wholly owned Exploration Licence (EL) 4658L – Jangamo which has been converted to an application for a Mining Concession 10255 C, which was lodged on 11 March 2020.

Geology

The Inhambane region contains vast quantities of reworked coastal sands that were deposited by the Limpopo River further south. The Project area is located over a seaward dune system trending towards a landward dune system. The dunes are arcuate and have long inverted ‘U’ shapes occurring as a series of parabolic dunes representing ancient blowouts with known mineralisation in the adjacent area occurring in both the dune faces and arms of the blowouts.

The bulk of the titanium and zircon sand mineralisation at the adjacent third-party owned Mutamba Project, which is being used by HVY as an analogue for its Inhambane Project, is associated with at least 160 m thickness of older marine-intertidal-aeolian sediments that include three generations of the stable older palaeodunes (referred to as D1, D2 and D3 in Dumouchel et al., 2016), which occur inland of the coastline and overlie a package of marine-intertidal sediments. The combined ilmenite, rutile and zircon heavy minerals (HM) content is 60% to 80% of the HM, with the bulk of the mineralisation hosted by the D2, D3 and Fluvial units. Unit D3 is the most important in terms of economic geology, with an average of 3.3% HM and low slimes content, making it potentially amenable to low-cost dozer trap and/or dredge mining methods. These are overlain by the contemporary aeolian D4 unit and alluvial material.

Mineral Resources

The Company’s Mineral Resource estimate is summarised in Table ES-1 (100% equity basis). This estimate comprises Mineral Resources estimated to be present within the small portion of 4658L that HVY tested by drilling in 2014. HVY has advised SRK that the complete report describing this Mineral Resource estimate (GNJ 2021) will be made available at HVY’s Corporate website.

As at the Effective Date of the IGR, the total Inferred Mineral Resource (Table ES-1) reported by HVY was 51 Mt grading 3.4% HM, 5% slimes, and containing 1.7 Mt HM on a 100% equity basis.

*HM = heavy minerals (>45 µm, <2 mm, >2.96 g/cm[3] ), SL = Slimes (<45 µm), OS = Oversize (>2 mm)

SRK has reviewed this estimate and concluded that:

  • The quantity and quality of the available data is sufficient to support the Mineral Resource as reported.

  • The three main geological zones that are reflected in the resource model and were applied to constrain compositing of the group samples and interpolation of assay grades, appear sound given the quantity of information available for interpretation, and published information about the regional geology.

  • The grade interpolation methods applied are conventional for HM deposits (assay grades by inverse distance, and mineral grades by nearest neighbour), particularly for modelling prospects at an early stage of exploration.

  • While the interpolation was not constrained by hard geological or grade contacts, and so there is still some potential that the mineralisation may not be as continuous and extensive as currently modelled, this is reflected by the classification of the mineralisation as Inferred.

  • The absence of oversize material and the relatively low slimes contents are favourable characteristics.

  • While the Mineral Resource is reliant on two significant intersections (from 23 m to 36.5 m which contains 7.8% HM and from 27.5 m to 42.5 m in drill hole IN0030 which contains 8.7% HM), the further drilling required to advance this to an Indicated Mineral Resource level will serve to test the integrity of these data and reduce their influence.

Planned Work Program

SRK considers that while the majority of the currently reported Mineral Resource has potential to be mined, the confidence in this estimate will need to be improved and further Mineral Resources will need to be outlined by the planned exploration work if the Mineral Resource is to form the basis of a viable mining operation.

With this in mind, the Company has developed a dual basis Work Program to cater for timing of the Mozambique Approval process. The Funded Works are sufficient to potentially identify targets that warrant additional exploration. The Further Works include a schedule of both activities and expenditures over the 2 years post-listing, which comprises exploration of the licensed area as a whole, with a view to progressing the project to the Scoping Study stage.

While the planned work will need to be regularly reviewed as results are obtained and changed, SRK considers the Work Plan to be appropriate and justified. Furthermore, SRK considers the Funded Works are sufficient to potentially identify additional targets and the Further Works Budget of A$910,000 sufficient to enable the completion of further exploration drilling and upgrading of the presently defined Mineral Resource estimate, as well as limited metallurgical testwork and the commencement of initial techno-economic studies.

1 Introduction

1.1 Background

HVY is an unlisted mineral sands exploration and development company registered in February 2021 in Australia. The Company’s headquarters is in Perth, Western Australia.

HVY’s focus is exploration for and assessment of heavy mineral sand (HMS) deposits including in Mozambique, specifically within the highly endowed Inhambane Province of southern Mozambique. The Company holds the rights to a large tenement in the Inhambane Province of Mozambique. Work at Inhambane during 2014 identified a HMS Mineral Resource, which is the focus of planned exploration activities.

With the pricing for the mineral sands product suite, in particular zircon, having improved between 2018 and 2021, in response to stronger demand driven by urbanisation, global growth and an increasing array of applications and supply shortfalls resulting from mine closures, declining grades and depleting stockpiles, the Company considers there is an opportunity for a mineral sands development and exploration company to meet future demand. In particular, Inhambane offers a large tenement position, and an established zircon and ilmenite resource base with exploration upside.

Africa represents one of the world’s largest HMS producing regions. While South Africa has traditionally been a major producer, Tanzania and Mozambique both represent emerging production centres, being the focus of several mineral sands operations and development projects, including Kenmare Resources’ Moma, Strandline Resources’ Fungoni, and Savannah Resources’ Mutamba projects.

Previous exploration programs in the Jangamo district and southern portions of the Inhambane Peninsula in Mozambique have outlined a laterally extensive mineralised zone extending over an approximately 45 km strike length up to 10 km in width along the Indian Ocean coastline. At Mutamba, a consortium involving Rio Tinto and Savannah Resources plc, an AIM listed diversified resource company, is currently evaluating the Jangamo, Dongane and Ravene ilmenite and zircon deposits at a pre-feasibility study level. To date, a global (Indicated and Inferred) Mineral Resource of 4.4 Bt averaging 3.9% total HM has been outlined (Savannah Resources plc, 2020).

1.2 Purpose for which the Report was prepared

SRK has been appointed by HVY to prepare an IGR on the Inhambane Project. SRK understands that this report is to be included in its entirety in a Prospectus to accompany HVY’s application for a proposed listing of the Company on the ASX. The purpose of this Prospectus is to offer for subscription 27,500,000 ordinary HVY shares at an issue price of A$0.20 to raise A$5.5 Million in order to fund the future assessment of HVY’s exploration projects.

The objectives of this report are to:

  • Comment on the location, mineral tenure and supporting infrastructure to the project

  • Provide an overview of the geological setting of HVY’s project areas and the associated mineralisation

  • Outline the historical and recent exploration work undertaken at the project

  • Present the Exploration Results and Mineral Resource statements for the Inhambane Project reported in accordance with the terms and definitions of the JORC Code (2012) (as defined below)

  • Express an opinion on the exploration potential of the Inhambane Project

MCKI/BROW/kear

SRK Consulting

Page 2

  • Consider the appropriateness of the budgeted Work Programs as developed by the Company and reflecting the planned schedules of activities and expenditures.

This report has been prepared for all of HVY’s mineral assets in Mozambique. This report is intended to properly inform readers of HVY’s Prospectus about the current status and exploration potential of its project areas and to provide commentary on the Company’s proposed future exploration and development program.

For the avoidance of doubt, this IGR does not provide audited Mineral Resources for the Inhambane Project nor a valuation of the Mineral Assets, nor comment on any future expenditure estimates or commitments external to that defined as the ‘Work Program’ in this IGR. The Work Program is limited to the expenditures necessary to complete the Exploration Program and specifically excludes any expenditures that may be necessary for development of the Projects.

Certain units of measurements and technical terms defined in the JORC Code (2012) (defined below) are defined in the Glossary and List of Abbreviations included in this IGR.

1.3 Reporting Compliance, Reporting Standard and Reliance

This IGR will be published in a Prospectus in support of the Company’s strategy to secure a listing on the ASX.

1.3.1 Reporting Compliance

SRK has been informed that this IGR will be included in the Prospectus published by the Company in connection with its proposed listing on the ASX. The Prospectus is dated for distribution of 25 May 2021, hereinafter the Publication Date.

The reporting standard adopted for the reporting of the Mineral Resource estimates and exploration activities undertaken at HVY’s Projects is that defined by the terms and definitions given in the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves’ (the JORC Code 2012 Edition) as published by the Joint Ore Reserves Committee of The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, Australian Institute of Geoscientists and Minerals Council of Australia. The JORC Code is an internationally recognised reporting code as defined by the Combined Reserves International Reporting Standards Committee. SRK has been informed that the JORC Code is currently adopted by the Company in respect of Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve reporting.

In addition, SRK has also considered the requirements of the ‘Australasian Code for Technical Assessments and Valuations of Mineral Assets: The VALMIN Code (2015 Edition)’ (the VALMIN Code 2015).

1.3.2 Reliance on SRK

This IGR is addressed to and may be relied upon by the Company, the Directors of the Company, the Shareholders of the Company, and the Advisors of the Company in support of the Listing, specifically in respect of compliance with the Requirements.

2 Overview of Heavy Minerals Limited

HVY, Australian Company Number (ACN) 647 831 883, is an Australian domiciled mineral sands exploration and development company, which was incorporated as a Public company on 10 February 2021.

HVY’s corporate structure on admission is shown in Figure 2-1.

==> picture [385 x 268] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 2-1: Corporate structure of Heavy Minerals Limited Source: HVY

HVY’s corporate strategy is to increase shareholder wealth through the acquisition, exploration and development of industrial mineral resources in mineralised provinces globally. The Company’s initial focus is on mineral sands in Mozambique (TiO2/Zircon) and Australia (Garnet/TiO2). Other commodities will also be considered where there is an opportunity to create further shareholder value. Of relevance to this report, the Company has identified a number of drilling targets within its Mozambican Project on which it will commence immediate work following listing. During the first 12 months, the Company will use the funds raised to conduct an aero magnetic geophysical survey and undertake targeted drilling with the intention of expanding its existing resource base and testing additional targets within its Inhambane tenure.

2.1.1 Company strategy

Having acquired prospective mineral sands projects in Mozambique and Western Australia, HVY’s corporate strategy is to develop a profitable mineral sands exploration, development and mining company through organic growth and corporate action. To this end, HVY’s exploration strategy is focused on delineating and assessing an economically viable resource base capable of rapidly transforming the Company from an exploration company to a mineral producer.

HVY’s primary exploration focus has been directed towards ilmenite mineralisation in the Inhambane area of Mozambique. Here, HVY proposes to expand the recently defined maiden Mineral Resource, undertake aeromagnetic geophysical surveying (Funded Works) and test additional targets though targeted drill testing (Further Works).

In addition to its interests in Mozambique, HVY also holds interests adjacent to operating garnet mining operations in the Port Gregory area of the midwest coast of Western Australia. Here, HVY is targeting extensions to the known garnet-bearing strandlines and proposes to undertake exploration activities designed to advance the project to resource delineation and evaluation over a 2-year period postlisting.

In addition, HVY proposes to continually assess and add other high-quality third-party owned mineral opportunities for their potential to supplement its current land holdings.

HVY considers the Mozambican and Western Australian political situations and legislative environments to be supportive of mineral sands exploration, and the Company is comfortable with its sovereign risk exposure. As noted previously, HVY considers that its mineral interests in both Mozambique and Western Australia are well located with respect to resources (including power, water, labour) and infrastructure to support any new mine development.

2.2 Location and description of Mineral Assets

This report only considers HVY’s mineral interests in Mozambique, with the Company’s Western Australian mineral assets being the subject of a separate report.

HVY’s Mozambique exploration interests comprise a 70% interest in the Inhambane HMS Project, comprising a single granted exploration licence (currently a mining licence application) covering an area of 183.55 km[2] to the south of the regional centre of Inhambane in the Inhambane Province of southwestern Mozambique.

3 Overview of Heavy Mineral Sands Industry

3.1 Introduction

Mineral sands deposits can be found throughout the world and are often found at or nearby a contemporary coastline. Mineral sands deposits are formed through the weathering of igneous and metamorphic rocks that contain HM. There are many minerals classified as HM (those with a density greater than approximately 2.9 g/cm[3] ) but the majority of these have little commercial value.

The mineral sands industry is dominated by two core product streams: titanium minerals and zircon. Titanium minerals (commonly ilmenite, leucoxene and rutile) are almost always far more prevalent in mineral sands deposits than zircon.

3.2 Titanium dioxide

The dominant titanium-bearing minerals mined are ilmenite, altered ilmenite to leucoxene, and rutile. In 2019, approximately 7.6 Mt of titanium dioxide (TiO2) contained in these minerals was produced from the world’s mines (USGS, 2020). Approximately 90% of this product was used to manufacture titanium dioxide pigment, which is used as a whitening pigment in paints, plastics and paper. Approximately half of all feedstock produced is most suitable as feedstock for production of titanium dioxide by the chloride route, and the remainder by the sulphate route.

The remaining 5% of production is mainly used as feedstock to produce titanium metal. The high strength to weight ratio and high corrosive resistance of titanium metal make it ideal for aerospace, heat exchangers, offshore oil and gas componentry and industrial chemicals and desalination plants.

3.2.1 Ilmenite

Ilmenite (Fe.TiO3) is the most abundant titanium mineral. It comprises between 35 and 65% titanium dioxide. The lower portion of this range typically comprises primary unaltered ilmenite, and the upper portion comprises ilmenite from which iron has been leached by weathering or other alteration processes, thereby increasing the titanium dioxide content that remains within the leached grains. Ilmenite is black and opaque, slightly magnetic and has a density of between 4.5 and 5.0 g/cm[3] . Ilmenite is predominantly used as a direct feedstock for sulphate and chloride route titanium dioxide pigment plants. Most (60%) titanium metal is sourced from ilmenite.

Prices are typically negotiated annually under longer term contracts, with the value of ilmenite substantially lower than that of rutile.

3.2.2 Rutile

Rutile (TiO2) comprises approximately 94% to almost 100% titanium dioxide. The mineral is typically red to black in colour and has a density of 4.25 g/cm[3] . Rutile is predominantly used as direct feedstock for chloride route titanium dioxide pigment plants and is the preferred feedstock for the highest quality pigments. These pigments have a range of applications (including plastics, paper and toothpaste) but coatings (i.e. paints) are the largest market. Some rutile is also used in the manufacture of welding electrodes.

Historically, prices were set under long-term contracts between producers and consumers, although this has changed more recently.

3.2.3 Leucoxene

Leucoxene (FeTiO3.TiO2) is not a primary mineral species, but rather refers to ilmenite from which iron has been leached by weathering or other alteration processes, thereby increasing the titanium dioxide

MCKI/BROW/kear

MOZ001_HVY_Mozmin IGR_Rev7.docx

23 July 2021

SRK Consulting

Page 11

content that remains within the leached grains. Mineral grains considered to comprise leucoxene typically contain between 65 and 92% titanium dioxide. Leucoxene is predominantly used as a direct feedstock for chloride titanium dioxide pigment plants and in the manufacture of welding electrodes.

3.3 Zircon

Zircon (ZrSiO4) is a colourless to off-white mineral with a density of 4.6 to 4.7 g/cm[3] . Zircon is primarily used in the ceramics industry (accounting for roughly 50% of demand), as a speciality glass and as foundry media due to its melting point of over 2,500°C. It is used as a raw material for making foundry mouldings and bricks, and furnace linings. Zircon is the world’s major source of zirconium products, which are used as an alloying agent in materials that are exposed to corrosive agents such as space vehicle parts, surgical appliances and explosive primers.

3.4 Geology

Mineral sands deposits are concentrations of HM formed by natural processes that operate at ground surface. There are two categories according to the method of concentration:

  • Alluvial (concentrated by water)

  • Aeolian (concentrated by wind).

Alluvial deposits are further split into marine beach placers (or strandlines) and lacustrine HM concentrations.

Aeolian deposits are often closely associated with marine beach placers, having been formed by the erosion, transport and deposition of HM from an adjacent marine beach placer by prevailing wind. Mineral sands deposits tend to lag or concentrate during storms when lighter components are carried offshore or alongshore by strong littoral drift. HM accumulation occurs during periods of fair-weather beach building and it is this HM that provides the basis for the thicker HM strandlines formed during major storm events. Repeated erosion and reworking may also progressively enrich a mineral sands deposit, and simultaneously concentrate sand particles with similar size, density and shape characteristics within different portions of the deposit.

The size of mineral sands deposits varies greatly and reported Mineral Resources for these range from a few million to billions of tonnes. Marine placers are typically a few hundred metres in width, up to 15 m thick and can be tens of kilometres in length. Some marine placers comprise strandlines that are deposited in close proximity to each other and as such can form accumulated deposits up to 1 km across strike.

Aeolian sand dune deposits close to the shore tend to be larger, more irregular in dimension and lower grade.

Grade is measured by the concentration of HM in the deposit, and ranges from small percentages to around 90% (but is commonly between 1 and 10% HM). Valuable heavy minerals (or VHM) refers to the grade of potentially saleable minerals within the HM. The proportion of different minerals within HM or VHM is commonly referred to as the assemblage. The assemblage within an HM deposit reflects the type of source rocks from which the HM are derived, and the extent of natural concentration. For example, primary ilmenite grains are common constituents in mafic plutonic rocks, and accessory constituents in other igneous and metamorphic rocks. Primary zircon grains are common accessory constituents in felsic igneous rocks, including granites, and are scarce within mafic igneous rocks. Primary rutile grains are common accessory constituents in plutonic and high metamorphic grade rocks. After liberation by erosion, each of these minerals may be transported then deposited with other grains that are subsequently transformed into sedimentary or metamorphic rocks.

MCKI/BROW/kear

MOZ001_HVY_Mozmin IGR_Rev7.docx

23 July 2021

SRK Consulting

Page 12

Mineral assemblage, and relative mineralogical recoveries, have a stronger influence on the financial viability of a deposit than the cash cost of production. While rutile and zircon tend to occur in lower quantities than ilmenite in most deposits, they can be between five and ten times more valuable than ilmenite.

3.5 Exploration

Initial exploration largely focuses on provenance studies to identify favourable mineral assemblages and geomorphological studies to identify favourable sedimentary facies and potential sites at which HM may have concentrated.

When a favourable exploration region has been identified, the main exploration method to discover and delineate HM mineralisation is drilling. Drilling using methods that cause minimal disaggregation or liberation of mineral grains are favoured. Drilling by auger or AC methods is typically favoured during initial reconnaissance and for some deposit delineation activities, and sonic drilling methods are favoured for infill drilling in support of resource estimation and geotechnical characterisation. The separation between drill holes to test a deposit depends on several matters, mainly the type of deposit. Drill holes are typically located 10 m to 100 m along lines across the strike of the deposit, with these lines being 50 m to 400 m apart along the strike of the deposit.

Drill-derived samples are logged for estimates of percentages of slimes, oversize (rock/induration) and HM. Attention is also paid to recording the presence of groundwater and estimated hardness of each sampling interval because these are important factors influencing selection of the mining method, and liberation then recovery of HM through a Wet Concentration Plant (WCP), and thereby potential project economics.

Sample assaying is primarily focused on determining the percentage of HM within a given sample. Other results of interest include slimes (generally particles less than 45 µm to 75 µm, so silt and clay size fractions), sand (generally particles from a lower bound between 45 µm and 75 µm to an upper bound between 500 µm and 2.0 mm) and oversize (generally particles greater than 500 µm to 2.0 mm). Sizing criteria are not standardised across industry and companies have developed a range of different sizings, as a result of unique physical sizing characteristics of key deposits, and in response to process metallurgical requirements. The slimes content is particularly important as high slimes contents complicate the mining and processing of the HM.

A range of drying, weighing, gentle disaggregation, soaking and washing stages are used to prepare a sand fraction containing principally quartz and HM, from which HM is then separated using a heavy liquid. The HM is retrieved, dried and weighed and the weight percent estimate is calculated for the original sample. Further metallurgical assessment is commonly conducted using magnetic separation and/or electrostatic separation equipment and heavy liquid solutions (i.e. a liquid with a high density, such as greater than 2.9 g/cm[3] ). These forms of metallurgical/mineralogical assessment can be undertaken using laboratory-scale bench tests and are favoured because they are analogous to the wet concentration and mineral separation at industrial scale.

X-ray diffraction (XRD), QEMSCAN (quantitative evaluation of minerals by scanning electron microscope) and grain counting of polished thin sections and microscope slides can also be undertaken to determine the mineral species within HM concentrates. QEMSCAN can also report other information that is useful to assess mineralisation, such as particle sizes, coarse chemical composition of particles, extent of liberation, and indications of coatings on particles.

Estimation of Mineral Resources in mineral sands is similar to this task for most other mineral commodities. It includes collation of data from drilling, assaying, and HM testing, followed by geological interpretation and modelling and the preparation of a two- or three- dimensional seam or cellular (block) models. Polygonal, nearest neighbour, inverse distance weighted (IDW) and

Page 13

geostatistical methods are all variously used for interpolation of grades of slimes, oversize, HM and selected species of HM.

3.6 Mining

The mining of mineral sands deposits is conducted either ‘wet’, by dredging or hydraulic water jets, or ‘dry’, using earthmoving equipment to excavate and transport the sands. The method of mining is selected according to characteristics of the deposits including:

  • The vertical and lateral continuity of mineralisation. In general, dry mining methods can better handle selectively mining ore and waste than wet methods.

  • Consistency of HM and slimes grade within the mineralisation. HM recovery by primary concentrators deteriorates if variation of feed HM grade or slimes increases. In general, dry mining methods can better accommodate blending feed to reduce variation than wet mining methods.

  • Whether there are hard bands within the material to be mined. In general, dry mining methods can better handle selectively mining hard bands than mining by dredge.

  • Whether there are bands of high slimes within the ore. In general, dry mining methods can better handle selectively mining bands with high slimes contents than wet mining methods.

  • The availability of relatively fresh water (i.e. not seawater), including whether a mined area can retain water, or the base of mineralisation is at least a few metres below the standing water table.

Common mining methods include:

  • Dredge mining is best suited to mining laterally continuous deposits where the base of the mineralisation is located below the water table. A floating dredge removes ore from the base of the leading edge of an artificial pond through a large suction pipe. The sand slurry is fed through a primary (or wet) concentrator that is typically floating in the same pond over an area previously mined by the dredge. The dredge slowly advances through the deposit and the primary concentrator recovers the HM and discards the remaining tailings (primarily sand) behind the pond for subsequent rehabilitation of the land surface. The cost of continuously mining large quantities of ore is typically somewhat cheaper using a dredge than alternative mining equipment, so dredge mining is best suited to mining large, long-life deposits with low slimes contents and relatively continuous mineralisation the base of which is below the water table.

  • Hydraulic mining involves directing a high-volume, high-pressure jet of water at the mining face, thereby cutting into, and loosening, the ore so that the face collapses. The ore is further agitated by the jets of water so that it forms a slurry that flows down to a collection sump. Oversize material is retained by screens at the sump and the slurry is pumped to a primary concentration plant.

  • Dry mining is suitable where either water is scarce or the mineral deposits are shallow, contain hard bands of rock and/or have a high slimes content and where the mineralisation is discontinuous. Ore is typically mined as:

  • A dozer trap operation , whereby dozers or scrapers move the ore into traps (or bins) where the ore is then mixed with water and pumped to a WCP. The ore is typically mined from the top of the mineralisation to the bottom and then across the face to improve the consistency of the HM feed blend and sand-to-slimes composition, thereby improving HM recovery through the primary wet concentrator. This method is best suited to free-flowing and friable ore and a relatively continuous orebody.

  • A load and carry operation , whereby front-end loaders dump the mineral-bearing sands into trucks or onto a conveyor belt system that follows behind the mining face (as employed at Namakwa Sands in South Africa).

3.7 Processing

Most mineral sands mined by both wet and dry mining methods are processed by a well-established route commencing with a WCP followed by a Mineral Separation Plant (MSP) to produce high-grade mineral concentrates (often several concentrates each containing over 90% of a particular mineral).

The WCP is typically located close to the faces from which most ore is mined and residue disposal areas in order to minimise transport of the residue, which constitutes most of the ore mined. In the WCP, screened ore is initially disaggregated then deslimed, a process by which fine material is separated from larger mineral particles. The fines are discharged to a residue stream and the larger particles are further washed through a series of separators that use gravity to separate the HM sands from lighter minerals, such as quartz. There are several types of these separators, though spirals are most widely used. Residue (mainly sand) from the concentration process is pumped back into either previously mined areas or dedicated waste dams where it can be rehabilitated. Water used in the process is recovered into a clean water dam to which make-up water may be added before it is recycled through the mining process (if wet mining) and WCP. During the life of a mineral sands mine, the WCP is typically moved many times so that it remains relatively close to advancing mining faces.

MSPs are typically not moved during the life of a mining operation. The HM concentrate produced by a WCP is transported to stockpiles near the MSP, then dried before being processed.

In the MSP, the HM concentrates are typically passed through magnetic, electrostatic, and additional gravity separators to produce final products and/or concentrates each dominated by one type of mineral. Magnetic separation techniques depend on the magnetic properties of the minerals, which are related to their iron content. Magnetic minerals (such as ilmenite) can be separated from nonmagnetic minerals (such as rutile and leucoxene) when subjected to a magnetic field. Electrostatic separation relies on differences in the surface conductivity of the minerals to be separated. Conductive minerals (such as ilmenite, rutile and leucoxene) behave differently from non-conductive minerals (such as zircon) when subjected to electrical forces. Gravity separators can be used to remove low density minerals that remain entrained in the concentrates, or to separate minerals that have different density but similar magnetic or conductivity properties. The effectiveness of the separation of HM concentrates into a waste stream plus several product streams comprising selected minerals is influenced by numerous factors in the concentrates and the MSP, including the extent of alteration (most commonly weathering) of the mineral grains, the nature and extent of any natural coatings on the surface of the mineral grains, the presence of grains comprising more than one mineral (e.g. cemented grains), the strength of the magnetic or electrostatic fields applied, the settings and rate of flow in the mineral separation devices, and the number of times each process is applied.

Mineral separation circuits in MSPs vary significantly from operation to operation, depending on the HM grade and mineral assemblage of the concentrates delivered from the WCP as well as the requirements (and specifications) of the off-take agreements. Generally, circuits include a combination of magnetic, electrostatic and gravity separation stages, though the order in which these different types of separation process are applied, which processes are applied to different streams, and the number of applications of each process differ between MSPs. Each product is processed to meet customer specifications then shipped to the customer.

3.8 Production

3.8.1 Titanium and zircon

The United States Geological Survey Mineral Commodity Summaries for 2020 (USGS, 2021) report that global production of TiO2 from ilmenite (including TiO2 produced from rutile only in the US) was 7.6 Mt in 2020, with African production accounting for 2.40 Mt, comprising South Africa (1.0 Mt),

Mozambique (0.6 Mt), Kenya (0.19 Mt), Senegal (0.31 Mt) and Madagascar (0.3 Mt). This USGS reference also records that global (excluding the US) production of TiO2 from rutile was 0.63 Mt in 2020, which includes 0.309 Mt from African countries, comprising Sierra Leone (0.12 Mt), South Africa (0.10 Mt), Kenya (0.074 Mt), Senegal (0.009 Mt) and Mozambique (0.006 Mt). Similarly, global production of zircon was 1.4 Mt in 2020, with African output of 0.535 Mt, comprising South Africa (0.32 Mt), Mozambique (0.125 Mt), Kenya (0.025 Mt) and Senegal (0.065 Mt).

According to TZ Minerals International Pty Ltd (TZMI), a leading international mineral sands consultancy, the world market for titanium-bearing ores has a diverse range of suppliers with the four largest accounting for approximately 30% of global supply.

Recent growth in demand, particularly in China is expected to create an environment favourable for TiO2 price increases over the medium to longer term. Global TiO2 demand growth rates tend to track gross domestic product (GDP) growth rates over the medium term; however, this varies by region. Developed markets such as the US and Western Europe exhibit higher absolute consumption but lower demand growth rates, while emerging markets such as Asia exhibit much higher demand growth rates. The TiO2 industry experiences some seasonality in its sales reflecting the high exposure to seasonal coatings end-use markets. Coating sales generally peak during the spring and summer months in the northern hemisphere, resulting in greater sales volumes during the second and third quarters of the year.

3.9 Markets and pricing

3.9.1 Titanium and zircon

The mineral sands markets are characterised as being small and opaque in nature. End-market demand for both zircon and titanium dioxide are closely linked to industrial and commercial uses with close to 80% of the demand from the Chinese, European and US markets. As such, key indicators of demand for mineral sands products are highly dependent on the European, US and Chinese housing markets, GDP and industrial production.

The global titanium feedstock market was valued at US$5.5 Billion in 2020. The global TiO2 pigment market accounts for around 90% of all titanium feedstock demand and is therefore the dominant driver of offtake. TiO2 pigment is used predominantly in the production of high-quality surface finishes and is essentially a lifestyle product. Historically, its use has developed strongly in the most economically developed countries where it is an essential component of basic consumer products, such as housing, motor vehicles and plastic products.

The other end-use segments of titanium feedstock are titanium metal, welding and other sectors, but they account for a much smaller proportion of annual titanium feedstock consumption.

Despite the negative impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, which saw many countries and regions of the world imposing lockdowns and restrictions on their citizens and businesses in an effort to control the spread of the coronavirus, global consumption of titanium feedstock recovered strongly in the second half of 2020 as restrictions eased.

With urbanisation and population growth driving greater TiO2 pigment demand, global titanium feedstock demand is expected to show continued growth through the medium to long term. In particular, demand for sulfate ilmenite is expected to show strong growth, led by China’s requirement to meet its fast-growing domestic pigment production.

The continuing strong growth experienced by the Chinese domestic TiO2 pigment industry, together with a buoyant titanium metal sector and increased focus on ilmenite beneficiation to titanium slag, is further impacting on the country’s titanium feedstock demand. China largely remains reliant on

Page 16

imported feedstocks, predominantly ilmenite but also increasing volumes of titanium slag as part of its total feedstock requirements.

On the supply side, global titanium feedstock production is estimated to be marginally lower than the prior year due to production disruption, as well as scheduled mine closures at some locations.

Zircon, on the other hand, is recovered as a co-product from most titanium mineral operations, although the ratio of zircon to titanium minerals produced varies widely depending on the mineral assemblages of specific deposits. The production of zircon is often fundamental to the economic success of many titanium mineral operations.

Global demand for zircon was estimated at 1.02 Mt for 2020, down 13% year-on-year. The ceramics and foundry sectors were most affected. The largest end use market for zircon is as an opacifier in ceramic glazes. This application accounted for approximately 50% of estimated global zircon consumption in 2020.

Supply remains the greatest cause of uncertainty in the global zircon market, as production from existing operations is set to rapidly decline from 2023 if no new projects are commissioned. Forecasts suggest that without considering additional supply from potential new projects that have yet to receive formal approval to proceed, the global supply/demand balance is likely to show increasing deficits through to 2025 as underlying demand for zircon continues to grow while the supply base declines.

3.9.2 Global concentrate market

The term “concentrate” encompasses a wide range of semi-finished products, including but not limited to heavy mineral concentrate (HMC), zircon concentrate, sulfate ilmenite concentrate, tailings and middlings of varying ZrO2 and TiO2 contents. Global trades of concentrate products have become increasingly common since late 2000s.

Recently HMC exportation has been seen by some new project proponents as a faster, lower capital and lower risk market entry strategy. There are several recently commissioned new projects that have adopted this strategy, such as Image Resources’ Boonanarring operation in Australia, East Minerals’ Pebane operation in Mozambique, as well as a number of Chinese owned operations in Africa that are producing HMC or non-magnetic concentrate for export to China for further processing. These operations include HK Greatwall Mining and Hainan Haiyu in Mozambique, as well as Fujian Weiyuan Mining in Mauritania.

There is no real supply/demand analysis specific to these concentrates due to the varying composition of this material. Demand for HMC is, however, a function of in-country demand for individual VHM that is captured in the preceding analysis for each product.

Demand for concentrate is driven by a domestic market demand that cannot be met by local supply, or the import of final products. The concept of exporting HMC was initially driven by the sky-rocketing demand for zircon in China during the late 2000s, prompting Chinese customers to seek alternative sources of supply through the import of semi-finished concentrate products. This has subsequently led to the establishment of many concentrate processing facilities along the eastern seaboard of China, in particular Hainan Island, Guangdong, Fujian, Guangxi and Shandong.

Global concentrate imports amounted to just over 2.0 Mt in 2020, an increase of 11% CAGR during the last decade. Prices of individual shipment vary considerably depending on the mineral assemblage in the concentrate.

4 Overview of Mozambique

4.1 Introduction

Mozambique is located along the east coast of Southern Africa, between latitudes 10°27’ S and 26°52’ S and longitudes 30°13’ E and 40°51’ E. It is a moderately sized country with a total area of 799,380 km[2] , which approximates the area of Turkey and is just less than twice the size of California. Mozambique shares extensive borders with South Africa, eSwatini (known as Swaziland before a change of name was decreed in April 2018), Zimbabwe, Zambia and Malawi to the south and west, and Tanzania to the north. It has the longest coastline of any country in Africa, with a sea boundary of 2,470 km along the Indian Ocean and possesses several good natural harbours.

Mozambique consists of three basic geographic divisions: the coastal belt (less than 200 m above mean sea level (amsl)), the middle plateau (200 to 1,000 m amsl) and the plateau highland (average 1,000 m amsl). The western part of the country hosts a series of mountains reaching a height of nearly 2,440 m amsl (i.e. Namuli in Zambézia Province and Binga in Manica Province). The most important rivers are the Zambezi, Limpopo, Save, and Lugenda. The most important lakes are the navigable Lake Malawi (Lake Nyassa), Lake Chuita (impounded by the Cahora Bassa Dam) and Lake Shirwa.

Mozambique’s natural resources include hydroelectric power, water, coal, natural gas, HMS, nepheline syenite, tantalite, graphite, iron ore, limestone, phosphates, semi-precious stones and arable land.

Mozambique is largely an agricultural country, with more than 80% of the labour force engaged in farming. Settlement patterns reflect this agrarian focus. Some 5.4% of the land is arable, and permanent crops contribute a further 0.3%. In the river valleys and deltas, the soil is rich and fertile, but southern and central Mozambique has poor and sandy soil and parts of the interior are dry.

Mozambique experiences a predominantly tropical to subtropical climate in the north and central parts to dry semi-arid steppe and dry arid desert climate in the south. The Inhambane area experiences a tropical humid climate. The rainy season extends from November to April, with peak rainfall from December to February. In the north and central areas, average annual precipitation is 1,000 to 2,000 mm. Maximum temperatures during the summer rainy season are 35° to 40°C, decreasing to 15° to 20°C during the dry winter season. The country has experienced a number of droughts and cyclone storms that make landfall from the Mozambique Channel.

Vegetation in the Inhambane region is characterised by deciduous tropical dry woodland, swamp forests and riparian forest interspersed with broad, grassy, seasonally waterlogged areas. Trees seldom grow to heights exceeding 20 m, with the majority probably less than 8 m high. Mangroves occur extensively along the flanks of Inhambane Bay.

Located on the coast in the far south of the country, Maputo is the national capital with a population of approximately 1.2 Million. Other significant population centres include Matola, Beira, Nampula, Nacala, Chimoio, Quelimane and Tete. The most densely populated areas are those with the best soils and climate, including the Lúrio and Ligonha river valleys in the northeast, the intervening coastal plain, and the lower reaches of the Limpopo River valley. In most rural areas, settlements are dispersed and reflect family residence patterns.

4.2 History

Mozambique’s first inhabitants were descendants of the San people of southern Africa who were predominantly hunters and gatherers. Subsequently, between the 1st and 4th centuries AD, waves of Bantu peoples migrated from the north through the Zambezi River valley and settled throughout the plateau and coastal areas. Subsequent migrants included Arab traders in the 9th century and Portuguese traders in the late 15th century. During the 16th and 17th centuries, Portuguese trading posts and forts become regular ports of call on the new route to Asia. Later, traders and prospectors explored further inland in search of gold and slaves. Mozambique was officially recognised as a

Portuguese colony in 1885, following the Berlin Conference, which divided Africa up into European colonies.

In the early 20th century, the Portuguese authorities shifted the supervision of much of Mozambique to large private companies, mainly British, who subsequently built some of the first infrastructure projects in the country. Despite many European nations granting independence to their colonies in the 1960s, Portugal continued to treat the majority of its colonies as overseas provinces and a significant number of Portuguese citizens immigrated to these countries. Mozambique's Portuguese population at the time of independence in 1975 was about 250,000.

The drive for Mozambican independence developed at a fast pace through the 1960s as dissatisfaction amongst the indigenous population for foreign rule grew. Several anti-Portuguese groups were formed including the Front for the Liberation of Mozambique (Frelimo). Frelimo initiated an armed campaign against Portuguese colonial rule and the following 10 years saw sporadic warfare and major political change, including the April 1974 coup in Lisbon. Mozambique finally won its independence on 25 June 1975 and Frelimo quickly established a one-party Marxist state and outlawed rival political activity.

The first decade of Mozambican independence was marked by civil unrest and economic instability. The new government gave shelter and support to South African (ANC) and Zimbabwean (ZANU) liberation movements while the governments of first Rhodesia and later apartheid South Africa fostered and financed an armed rebel movement in central Mozambique called the Mozambican National Resistance (Renamo). An estimated 1 Million Mozambicans perished during the civil war between Renamo and Frelimo, 1.7 Million took refuge in neighbouring states, and several million more were internally displaced. In the third Frelimo party congress in 1983, President Samora Machel conceded the failure of socialism and the need for major political and economic reforms. He died, along with several advisers, in a plane crash in 1986.

His successor, Joaquim Chissano, continued the reforms and began peace talks with Renamo. The new constitution enacted in 1990 provided for a multi-party political system, market-based economy, and free elections. The civil war ended in October 1992. In 1994 the country held its first democratic elections and Chissano was elected President with 53% of the vote. A 250-member National Assembly was voted in with Frelimo holding 129 seats. In 1995, Mozambique became the first country that had never had any constitutional link to the British Empire to join the Commonwealth. Chissano was re-elected in 1999. Following Presidential and National Assembly elections in December 2004, Frelimo candidate, Armando Guebuza, won 64% of the popular vote and was inaugurated as President on 2 February 2005. In January 2015 and then again in October 2019, Filipe Jacinto Nyusi of Frelimo was elected President. Frelimo currently hold 184 seats in the National Assembly.

Today, Mozambique continues to be one of only three successful cases of political conflict resolution on the African continent, the others being Namibia and South Africa. More than 1.7 Million Mozambican refugees who had sought asylum in neighbouring countries as a result of war and drought have returned. Additionally, a further estimated 4 Million internally displaced people have returned to their areas of origin.

While the country still faces residual tension, it has sustained over 10 years of relative political stability with an increasing government focus on promoting economic strength and foreign investment.

4.3 Framework

4.3.1 Political attributes

Mozambique was a Portuguese colony for almost five centuries with the country achieving independence on 25 June 1975. Subsequently, large-scale emigration, economic dependence on South Africa, a severe drought, and the prolonged civil war hindered the country's development until the mid-1990s.

Mozambique is a presidential democracy. The President is elected by popular vote for a 5-year term and is eligible for a second term. The President is both the Head of State and the Head of Government. The Prime Minister is appointed by the President. The 2004 Mozambican Constitution provides for the separation of the legislative, executive, and judicial powers. Two hundred and fifty members of parliament are elected at 5-yearly intervals by universal adult suffrage.

Administratively, Mozambique is divided into 10 provinces ( provincias ) and the capital city Maputo, which also has provincial status. The provinces are subdivided into 129 districts ( distritos ). The districts are further divided in 405 ‘Postos Administrativos’ ( Administrative Posts ) and then into ‘Localidades’ ( Localities ), the lowest geographical level of the central state administration.

The 10 provinces (each with their own capital city) are Cabo Delgado, Gaza, Inhambane, Manica, Maputo, Nampula, Niassa, Sofala, Tete and Zambézia. The provincial governors are appointed by and serve at the discretion of the President. Provincial governments, led by the Governor, are composed of directors who locally exercise the powers and perform the duties of the Ministries to which they belong. Thus, provincial directors are answerable to both the Governor, as the leader of the Provincial Government, and the Minister responsible for their activities.

4.3.2 Economic attributes

At the time of independence in 1975, Mozambique was one of the world's poorest countries. Socialist mismanagement and a brutal civil war from 1977 to 1992 exacerbated the situation. In 1987, the government embarked on a series of macroeconomic reforms designed to stabilise the economy. These steps, combined with donor assistance coupled with political stability since the multi-party elections in 1994, have led to dramatic improvements in the country's growth rate. Monetary reforms have reduced inflation. Fiscal reforms, including the introduction of a value-added tax and reform of the customs service, have improved the government's revenue collection abilities.

In spite of these gains, more than half of the population remain below the poverty line. The vast majority of the country's workforce is employed in subsistence agriculture. Citizens rioted in September 2010 after fuel, water, electricity and bread price increases were announced. In an attempt to reduce the negative impact on the population, the government implemented subsidies, decreased taxes and tariffs and instituted other fiscal measures.

Mozambique's once substantial foreign debt has been reduced through ‘forgiveness and rescheduling’ under the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF’s) Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) and Enhanced HIPC initiatives and is now at a manageable level. However, in 2016, information surfaced revealing that the Mozambican Government was responsible for over US$2 Billion in governmentbacked loans originally secured between 2012 and 2014 by state-owned defence and security companies without parliamentary approval or national budget inclusion, which prompted the IMF and international donors to halt direct budget support to the Government of Mozambique. This sizable external debt burden, donor withdrawal, elevated inflation, and currency depreciation contributed to weaken growth in 2016–17 and suggests weaker economic growth over the next few years.

The currency of Mozambique, the Metical (plural Meticais, abbreviated as MT or MZN) floats against other currencies. The exchange rate was 57.56 MZN/US$ on 3 May 2021, having progressively increased from 34.5 MZN/US$ over the previous 5 years with a maximum of 78.3 MZN/US$ in midOctober 2016 (https://www.xe.com/currencytables/).

The GDP in 2020 was estimated at approximately US$14.56 Billion and GDP annual growth at -2.4%, a drop from over 5% growth prior to 2016. In 2020, the country struggled with COVID-19 induced restrictions impact tourism and supply chains. Mining also suffered a sharp contraction (-13.3%). Until recently, Mozambique’s growth rate has been one of the strongest in Africa.

The country’s labour force is estimated at 12.9 Million, with subsistence agriculture accounting for about 74% of the labour force and contributing about 23.9% to GDP. Other key sectors include industry (4% of workforce and 19.3% of GDP) and services (21.7% of workforce and 56.8% of GDP). Key exports include aluminium, prawns, cashew nuts, cotton, sugar, timber, and bulk electricity. Machinery and equipment, vehicles, fuel, chemicals, metal products, foodstuffs and textiles are all key imports, with South Africa and China being the country’s main trade partners.

4.3.3 Social attributes

Mozambique is a poor, sparsely populated country with an estimated total population of 29.7 Million and estimated annual growth rate of 2.9% in 2017 (World Bank, 2019). The population has high fertility and mortality rates and a rapidly growing young population. The sustained high level of fertility reflects gender inequality, low contraceptive use, early marriages and childbearing, and a lack of education, particularly among women. The high population growth rate is somewhat restrained by the country’s high HIV/AIDS and overall mortality rates.

Mozambique has a diverse, multicultural population with ethnic groups including Makhuwa, Tsonga, Makonde, Shangaan, Shona, Sena, Ndau, as well as European, Asian and other multi-nationals. While Portuguese is the official language, it is not the predominant language, with Emakhuwa spoken by 25.3% of the population (relative to 10.7% for Portuguese). Other major languages include Xichangana, Cisena, Elomwe and Echuwabo. The majority of the population identifies with the Roman Catholic (28.4%), Muslim (17.9%), Zionist Christian (15.5%) and Protestant (12.2%) convictions.

Mozambique’s male to female ratio is largely equal until age 65, where the male population rapidly declines. The median age in Mozambique is 17.5 years, with the male median being 16.5 and the female being 17.7.

4.3.4 Infrastructure attributes

Mozambique’s infrastructure varies substantially throughout the regions of the country. The civil war left much of the original infrastructure established by the Portuguese and British in disrepair. The government, in partnership with international business and aid groups, gradually reconstructed roads, bridges, electricity, and telecommunications infrastructure predominantly focusing on Maputo and other key business areas.

Transport infrastructure such as roads and bridges remains fairly basic and at times difficult to negotiate with a vast majority simply made of dirt or sand, especially in rural regions. Mozambique has a total of 30,331 km of roadways, of which just 6,303 km are sealed. Sealed roads connect Maputo with Beira and Beira with Tete. Driving in Mozambique is not always easy. The civil war and flooding have severely impacted road conditions and in many parts of the country, a four-wheel drive vehicle is essential to access many areas. Roads are gradually being improved and the roads south of Beira tend to be in good condition. Potholes are the most significant road hazard in Mozambique.

Mozambique’s location on the east coast of southern Africa has facilitated it to host strategic entry points to the land locked countries within the Southern African Development Community (SADC): Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi, eSwatini, and Botswana. Access is via Mozambique’s three major ports, rail and roads; however, this infrastructure is underdeveloped and needs refurbishment.

Mozambique has approximately 4,800 km of railway lines, all narrow gauge, including:

  • The Maputo Corridor, which is the major transportation route linking South Africa's northern provinces and eSwatini with the nearest deep-sea port in Maputo, Mozambique

  • The Sena Railway line, which extends for approximately 575 km from Moatize to Beira

  • The Nacala railway corridor and associated port (the Nacala Corridor), which currently encompasses 800 km of rail line from Malawi to the coast of Mozambique and the natural deep water Port of Nacala.

Barging along the Zambezi River has been investigated by a number of potential coal producers in the Moatize area. There has been successful small-scale barging on the Zambezi River in the past, but this has not been proved to be a reliable transport option for large-scale operations.

Mozambique has six ports: Beira, Inhambane, Maputo, Nacala, Pemba and Quelimane. Maputo, Beira and Nacala are the main trade ports in Mozambique. Port Maputo is the largest port and has direct road and rail connections with South Africa (550 km to Johannesburg), eSwatini, and Zimbabwe.

Mozambique has 98 airports, but only 21 paved runways. Customs are situated at only five airports: Maputo, Beira, Nampula, Pemba and Vilanculos. Most air travellers to Mozambique arrive in Maputo, via South Africa, to which both South African Airways and Air Mozambique offer regular services. There are smaller regional airstrips located throughout the country, but these tend to be very rudimentary in nature.

The Mozambique national electricity grid has grown substantially over the past 20 years and now reaches most large towns in Mozambique. Energy is supplied by numerous power stations in Mozambique and power is imported from South Africa. In 2014, the power generation capacity installed in Mozambique was 2,600 MW, of which 90% was hydroelectric and the remainder fossil fuels. Power generation is dominated by the Cahora Bassa hydroelectric power station on the Zambezi River. It has a capacity to generate 2,075 MW and is the largest hydroelectric scheme in Southern Africa. Approximately 65% of the power generated at Cahora Bassa is exported to South Africa along two parallel direct current (DC) transmission lines, and the remainder is consumed in the northern provinces of Mozambique and exported to Zimbabwe. The other power consumed in Mozambique is generated by smaller hydroelectric and thermal power stations in Mozambique and imported from South Africa on transmission lines to the Maputo area.

Natural gas is produced from the Pande and Temane fields, which are onshore in northern Inhambane Province. This gas is transported through an 865 km pipeline to the Sasol petrochemical complex at Secunda in South Africa, and to Maputo for small-scale domestic consumers. Large reserves of natural gas have been discovered offshore of northern Mozambique – ENI’s Coral South floating liquefied natural gas (LNG) project is currently being developed and is scheduled to be in production by 2022, and Anadarco’s plans for an onshore LNG plant on the coast at Palma and 40 km from the border with Tanzania are in the final stages of evaluation prior to a final investment decision. These projects have encouraged other companies to undertake further exploration and evaluation of hydrocarbon prospects offshore from Mozambique.

Mozambique has a telecommunications system that performs moderately well – it has a strong state presence and little competition, with high operating costs and charges. The system comprises a very low density of fixed open-wire lines and trunk connection by microwave radio relay and troposphere scatter, and a rapidly growing high-density mobile cellular network. The mobile cellular network now

covers all the main cities and key roads with a teledensity of approximately 80 per 100 persons. Internet service is available, with 2.3 Million internet users in January 2017.

Television is the most popular communication medium in towns and cities, with the state-run TVM the only national network, and the private STV topping the ratings. Portuguese state TV's African service RTP Africa and Brazilian-owned TV Miramar are also widely watched. State-run Antena Nacional radio is a key source of news operating in multiple languages. Private FM stations operate in most towns. Dozens of community radio and TV stations are funded by the government and UNESCO. Communication by print media has little influence in the countryside because of low levels of literacy in these areas. The constitution protects media freedom, but criminal libel laws deter total freedom of expression. The opposition states it receives inadequate coverage in the state media.

4.3.5 Environmental attributes

The Mozambican environment is regarded as one of the last great wildlife refuges in the world. However, non-governmental organisations indicate that a lack of economic opportunity and conservation policies are forcing the people of Mozambique to over-utilise their natural resources. Examples of local human demands include over-fishing and the sale of illegal ‘bushmeat’ and elephant ivory.

Mozambique has a total land area of approximately 800,000 km[2] of which some 5.7% (45,000 km[2] ) is classified as protected land, including national parks, marine and sustainable use categories.

The major ecosystems represented in Mozambique include forest (22%), shrublands, grasslands and savannah (37%), mosaic (38%) and wetlands (2%). In comparison to sub-Saharan Africa, Mozambique has a significantly higher representation of forest and mosaic ecosystems but fewer shrublands. In 2018, the total number of threatened species recognised was 230 (Bagheera 2018): plants (58), mammals (12), birds (28), reptiles (8), amphibians (3), fish (54), molluscs (3) and other invertebrates (64).

Common environmental challenges in Mozambique include deforestation (reportedly occurring at 1% per annum), damage to coral reefs, loss of wildlife abundance (reportedly 70% of the wildlife population since 1975), loss of biodiversity and pollution of water bodies. In addition, recurrent droughts in the hinterlands have resulted in increased migration to urban and coastal areas, and concomitant adverse environmental consequences.

Damage to the country’s coral reefs was recognised in the 1980s. The coastal region is a major oil tanker route and reportedly suffers from oil pollution. In addition, land-based sources of pollution from fertilisers, industry, untreated sewage, litter and deforestation have often resulted in symptomatic issues such as eutrophication and sedimentation.

The current Environment Law prohibits pollution, as well as activities that accelerate erosion, desertification, deforestation or any other form of environmental degradation except as permitted by law. It also prohibits the importation of hazardous waste except as may be permitted by specific legislation. The Environment Law also provides that the government may establish environmental quality standards, defined as the admissible levels of pollution prescribed by law. The Environmental Quality and Effluent Emission Norms regulate atmospheric, water and soil quality for industrial purposes, effectively establishing standards for air pollution and effluent emissions.

The Environmental Law is regulated by a range of additional instruments, both general and sector specific.

MICOA (Ministry for the Coordination of Environmental Action) is the Government institution responsible for ensuring the preservation and responsible use of natural resources, the coordination of environmental activities and environmental licensing.

4.4 Mozambique mining industry

The importance of mining’s role in achieving sustainable economic development was recognised by the Mozambican Government and a program to obtain geological information was instituted, comprising mapping and broad geophysical exploration with more than half the country covered between 1979 and 1984. Despite this, exploration, project evaluation and mining were not possible on a large scale in Mozambique before the signing of the peace accord in 1992 and even in 1999 mining accounted for less than 1% of GDP.

In 2020, mining and quarrying contributed 11% to Mozambique’s GDP. In 2019, national mineral exports accounted for some US$2.71 Billion primarily derived from aluminium (19.1%), coal (24.1%), natural gas (3.7%) and ilmenite (4.0%). In 2020, Mozambique contributed 7.9% of global (including the US) production of TiO2 from ilmenite, 0.95% of global (excluding the US) production of TiO2 from rutile, and 8.9% of the world’s zircon production (USGS, 2021).

Mozambique is estimated to have the second-largest coal reserves in Africa, totalling 32 Bt and, according to the IMF, Mozambique could become one of the largest producers of coal in the world, in particular in the Tete and Zambézia provinces. The potential in the energy sector is also significant as the private sector continues to make large investments that will allow Mozambique to become a significant gas producer in about a decade. Mozambique’s total recoverable resources are estimated at more than 100 trillion cubic feet, among the 10 largest in the world.

Most of Mozambique's mining and mineral processing operations are privately owned, with the government holding varying interests in these. Excluding industrial minerals (excepting graphite) and gemstones, there are currently 8 industrial-scale mines in Mozambique (5 coal, 1 HMS, 1 tantalum and 1 graphite), at least 20 advanced exploration projects, some of which are nearing development, and numerous artisanal mining communities.

Most of the artisanal mining activity is found in Manica, Tete, Nampula, Zambézia and Niassa provinces, although there is also some activity in Cabo Delgado Province. Some 50,000 artisanal workers are estimated to be involved in tantalite, gold and gemstone mining in Mozambique.

4.5 History of mining

The origins of mining within Mozambique are not well documented, with records of this activity having started before the Bantu migration to the south of the Zambezi River (5[th] century AD). Certainly, copper and gold mining has been known since the Monomotapa Empire in Southern Africa (1440 to 1629 AD). In the Empire of Monomotapa, gold served in lobolo (dowry) exchanges, and was a symbol of power. During this time and prior to coming under Portuguese rule, Mozambique served as an important Arab trading outpost. Gold mining reportedly grew in the Manica Province as a result of Arab trade but decreased due to Portuguese occupation in the sixteenth century. In the 18[th] century, the Portuguese banned artisanal gold mining, which extended throughout the colonial period.

Modern mining in Mozambique began in the Tete region in 1895, with the discovery of coal at Moatize. The coal was transported by barge on the Zambezi River, which is navigable for only 5 to 6 months of the year. Coal mining operations changed hands many times until 1949, when Carbonifera Company of Mozambique was established and with it, the development of railroads, and the first houses for the railroad staff. This founded the village of Moatize, the base of operations for the mines, the railroads, and also the farming of cotton in the region.

Before the cessation of the civil war in Mozambique (1978 to 1992), exploration, project evaluation and mining were not possible on a large scale. Coal was only sporadically exploited by a series of small underground coal mines in the vicinity of the town of Moatize. However, after two serious accidents, which occurred in the mines in 1976 (Chipanga VIII mine) and 1977 (Chipanga III mine),

the mines closed. In late 2004, a consortium of companies headed by Brazilian iron ore miner, Vale, won the right to redevelop the Moatize coal deposit.

Since the first discovery of the onshore Pande gas field in 1961, there have been four further discoveries: Buzi (1962), Temane (1967), Temane East (2003) and Inhassoro (2003). In 2004, Mozambique became an exporter of natural gas from the Pande and Temane fields with annual production of 120 petajoules (10[15] joules, or million gigajoules), which is the energy equivalent of 22 M barrels of oil. Most of the gas is exported to South Africa for the gas-to-liquids process and only some 3 petajoules per annum are used domestically for electricity generation and fuel for industry and transport. Mozambican authorities hope for further developments to produce fertilisers, methanol, direct iron reduction, gas-to-liquids and LNG for export.

Currently, the country is a producer and exporter of aluminium products (mainly from imported bauxite), coal, natural gas and ilmenite, rutile and zircon.

Kenmare Resources plc leads investment in Mozambique’s titanium mining industry, operating the US$450 Million Moma project in Nampula Province, which began production in July 2009. Other projects in various stages of assessment include Chibuto (formerly BHP Billiton’s Corridor Sands Project now held by Anhui Foreign Economic Construction Group and Yunnan XinLi Non-Ferrous Metals Co Ltd), Moebase and Naburi (Pathfinder Minerals plc), and Mutamba Project, which includes Jangamo, Ravene, Dongane and Chilubane deposits (a consortium comprising Savannah Resources plc and Rio Tinto).

4.6 Mineral legislation and mining tenure

4.6.1 Mineral legislation

The primary sources of law for mining in Mozambique are:

  • The Constitution of the Republic of Mozambique of 2004 (the ‘ Constitution ’)

  • Law no. 20/2014 (the ‘ Mining Law ’)

  • Law no. 28/2014 (the ‘ Specific Regime of Taxation and Benefits of Mining Activities ’)

  • Decree no. 16/2005 (the ‘ Regulation on Trade of Mineral Products ’)

  • Decree no. 61/2006 (the ‘ Regulation on Mine Work Safety ’)

  • Decree no. 62/2006 (the ‘ Mining Regulations ’)

  • Decree no. 5/2008 (the ‘ Regulation of Tax Regime for Mining ’)

  • Resolution no. 4/98 (the ‘ Geological and Mining Policy ’).

The Mining Law establishes that the right to exploit mineral resources will be granted in accordance with the type and magnitude of the operations to be carried out. All applications for exploration and mining rights have to be addressed to the Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy for processing by the National Directorate of Mines. The National Directorate of Mines has the power to grant mining certificates.

The law does not provide for State control of the mining industry, nor does it require State participation in mining ventures. However, ownership of minerals is vested in the State by constitutional provision.

Mining can be undertaken in an individual capacity or through a commercial company. For a foreign enterprise to carry out mining operations in Mozambique, it is necessary to either incorporate a local company or register a local business agent. Rights with respect to mining are to be issued on a first come, first served basis.

Page 26

Tenure may be revoked, upon notification to the titleholder, whenever the company becomes bankrupt, transforms or fails to pay the Surface Tax (see Section 4.6.5), or for non-compliance with obligations derived from the Mining Law consequent upon grant of the tenement.

4.6.2 Mining tenure

There are four types of mineral titles available under the Mining Law introduced in 2014 to replace the Mining Law legislated in 2002, and only one type of mineral title can exist over an area of land at any one time. The acquisition, modification, transfer and termination of mineral titles are subject to registration.

These four mineral titles comprise:

  • Prospecting and Exploration Licence ( Licença de Prospecção e Pesquisa )

  • Mining Concession ( Concessão Mineira )

  • Mining Certificate ( Certificado Mineiro )

  • Mining Pass ( Senha Mineira ).

The Mining Certificate and the Mining Pass are principally relevant to small-scale artisanal mining activities and are not discussed in this report.

Prospecting and Exploration Licences

Prospecting and Exploration Licences (herewith called Exploration Licences) are initially granted for 5 years over an area of up to 199.98 km[2] and are renewable for another 3-year period. The licence holder has exclusive rights to conduct exploration for the minerals specified in the licence and a preferential right in respect of associated and other minerals discovered within the licence area.

Holders of Exploration Licences must submit annual reports summarising the previous year’s activities and expenditure as well as a work program and budget details for the forthcoming year.

In order to obtain an extension, a nominal fee must be paid and certain documents submitted to the Ministry including a tax clearance, a report on activities during the previous 5 years and a work program for the following 3 years (together with projected investment).

Any minimum spend requirements are determined on a case by case basis depending on the type of mineral involved and the size of the licensed area.

A transfer of an Exploration Licences from one party to another requires the prior approval of the Minister of Mineral Resources but a transfer of shares in the licence holder does not.

Mining Concessions

Only the holder of an Exploration Licence may apply for a Mining Concession in respect of the Exploration Licence area.

Mining Concessions are granted for up to 25 years and permit the holder to extract the mineral from the concession area and carry out all activities ancillary to extraction, such as erecting structures and selling the mineral. A Mining Concession is exclusive to the holder and may not exceed the area which is reasonably necessary for the mining operation. Mining Concessions may be extended for a further 25 years. Prior to initiating extraction activities, the holder must obtain an environmental licence and a Direito de Uso e Aproveitamento da Terra (DUAT), which is akin to a long-term lease. Both must be obtained within 3 years of the date of issue of the Mining Concession and prior to the commencement of extraction activities. Development must commence within 2 years and production within 3 years of the grant of the environmental licence or the DUAT, whichever is the latter.

Page 27

In order to obtain a Mining Concession, a nominal fee must be paid and certain information must be provided to the Ministry, including a tax clearance certificate, an economic feasibility study (including a mining production plan) and details of the applicant’s technical expertise and financial resources to proceed with extraction (including the experience of personnel in managing the proposed operations). The mining production plan must include details of the ore deposit, mine site design, the operations schedule, expected dates for commencement of development and commercial production as well as environmental, health and safety plans. Provided that these requirements have been met and the licence holder has complied with its obligations under the Exploration Licence, the Minister must grant the Mining Concession for the time period requested. The Minister does not have the discretion to refuse to grant the Mining Concession for other reasons.

4.6.3 Environmental legislation

The primary sources of environmental law pertinent to mining in Mozambique are:

  • Law no. 20/1997 (the ‘ Environmental Law ’)

  • Decree no. 32/2003 (the ‘ Regulation on the Process of Environmental Audit ’)

  • Decree no. 26/2004 (the ‘ Environmental Regulations for Mining Activities ’)

  • Decree no. 18/2004 (the ‘ Environmental Quality and Effluent Emission Norms ’)

  • Decree no. 45/2004, as amended by Decree no. 42/2008 (the ‘ Environmental Impact Evaluation Process Regulation ’)

  • Decree no. 11/2006 (the ‘ Regulation for Environmental Inspection ’)

  • Ministerial Diploma no. 129/2006 (the ‘ General Directive for Studies of Environmental Impact ’)

  • Ministerial Diploma no. 130/2006 (the ‘ General Directive for the Process of Public Participation in the Process of Evaluation of the Environmental Impact ’)

  • Ministerial Diploma no. 189/2006 (the ‘ Basic Norms for Environment Management ’)

  • Decree no. 27/1994 (the ‘ Archaeological Heritage Protection Regulation ’).

The regulation and protection of the environment in Mozambique is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry for Environmental Co-ordination.

Commencement of operations under a Mining Concession requires an environmental licence. The terms of the environmental licence will depend on the scale of the proposed activity. The Environmental Regulations for Mining Activities classifies mining activities into three levels on the following basis:

  • Small-scale artisanal (Level 1)

  • Mechanised exploration, quarrying and pilot projects (Level 2)

  • All other mechanised activities not included above (Level 3).

Level 1 activities are required to observe the basic principles of environmental management. These are described by Ministerial Diploma no. 189/2006. Level 2 activities require an Environmental Management Plan and a program to manage safety. Level 3 activities must undertake an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).

4.6.4 Other legislation

Other licences that may be required for a mining operation include:

  • Mineral Treatment Licence ( Licença de Tratamento Mineiro

MCKI/BROW/kear

Page 28

  • Mineral Processing Licence ( Licença de Processamento Mineiro )

  • Trading Licence for Mineral Products ( Licença de Comercialização de Produtos Mineiros ).

4.6.5 Taxes and royalties

In terms of the taxes applied to the mining activity in Mozambique, Law no. 28/2014 of 23 September 2014 established a new tax framework for the mining industry comprising the following:

  • Production Tax (Imposto sobre a produção mineria (IPM))

  • Surface Tax (Imposto sobre a superfície (ISS))

  • Corporate Income Tax (Imposto sobre o rendimento de pessoas colectivas (IRPC))

  • Resource Rent Tax (Imposto sobre a renda de recurso mineiro (IRRM)).

Other than the specific taxes mentioned above, a company is also liable for the remaining taxes in Mozambique, such as value added tax (VAT), customs duties and municipal charges.

IPM is levied on the value of the quantity of mineral products extracted within Mozambican territory, regardless of the eventual sale, export or other disposition of such mineral products (Table 4-1). In general, the value of the product is considered to be the sale price (or if it is not sold in the relevant tax period, the market price).

Surface Tax is an annual tax levied in respect of an Exploration Licence, a Mining Concession or Mining Certificate. It is payable by the holders of such mining titles. Surface Tax is calculated on the basis of the number of hectares or units of mining title under licence. Rates vary according to the type of the mining title, the nature of the mineral resource and the period the licence has been held (Table 4-2).

For the Corporate Income Tax, the taxable profit is assessed autonomously and the tax obligations arising from each Exploration Licence, Mining Concession or Mining Certificate are entirely independent from each other.

Entities that hold a Mining Concession or Mining Certificate are subject to the Resource Rent Tax, with the rate being 20% on the net cash gains made during the year. The Resource Rent Tax is paid in two instalments (one in August and the other in November), with each instalment corresponding to 50% of the estimate presented and rounded up.

New mining projects are exempt for a period of 5 years from the commencement of the mining activities, from:

  • Customs duties payable on importation of equipment (whether for exploration or for mining) that is classified as Class K of the Customs Schedule

  • Customs duties payable on importation of certain specific equipment that is not so classified but is considered analogous to Class K goods

  • VAT and specific consumption tax, if any, that would otherwise be payable on the importations mentioned above.

No royalties are payable over and above any taxes.

4.7 Geology and Mineral Resources of Mozambique

4.7.1 Regional geology

Mozambique has a diverse geology, with rocks of Archaean, Proterozoic, Karoo, Mesozoic and Cenozoic age (Schlüter, 2008). The older crystalline rocks occur mainly in the north and comprise gneiss, schist, quartzite and limestone, while the younger Cenozoic sediments and minor volcanic rocks occur mainly in the south.

The crystalline basement of Mozambique belongs to three major terranes: East, West and South Gondwana, which collided and amalgamated during the Pan-African orogeny (~1,000 Ma) to form the Gondwana Supercontinent.

The rocks in the central southern part of the country can be divided in two groups: the crystalline basement of Archaean-Cambrian age (~1,800 Ma to ~550 Ma), and the Phanerozoic cover (younger than ~550 Ma). The crystalline basement comprises a heterogeneous assemblage of metamorphic igneous rocks such as paragneisses, granulites, migmatites and orthogneisses. The Phanerozoic cover comprises lithologies assigned to the Karoo Supergroup (300 Ma to 200 Ma), Cretaceous (~135 Ma to 70 Ma) and East Africa Rift events (65 Ma to Present).

In the Phanerozoic terrains (Figure 4-2), Carboniferous to Upper Jurassic age (350 Ma to 152 Ma) rifting was associated with sedimentation and widespread igneous activity. During this period, sedimentary basins were formed with the intracratonic basins being filled with Karoo Supergroup and post-Karoo continental deposits. Volcanic and coastal basins formed during East Africa rifting were filled with continental and marine deposits from Mesozoic to Cenozoic age (250 Ma to 65 Ma). The Karoo Supergroup sequence is represented by coal-bearing sediments and volcanic units. The Moatize coal basin comprises a graben structure approximately 35 km long with an average width of 1 km that was formed in early to middle Proterozoic times and filled with lower Karoo aged rocks. Minor occurrences of Jurassic sandstones, conglomerates and limestones occur in Lupata, Nampula and Cabo Delgado provinces, while Cretaceous (70 Ma to 135 Ma) sandstones, calcareous sandstones, clays and carbonates with occasional conglomerate occur southeast of Tete, as well as along the southwestern border and in a narrow strip along the northeast coast.

Very young (approximately Cenozoic era – 1.6 Ma to 70 Ma) marine carbonates and sandstones occur in the coastal region of the northeast of Mozambique, and in large parts of southern Mozambique, showing that there has been a considerable regression of the sea in relatively recent times.

Quaternary sediments consist mainly of unconsolidated sand, clay and limestones as coastal dunes, river alluvium and lacustrine deposits and it is these that host the mineral sands deposits that are currently being mined and explored.

4.7.2 Tectonic setting

Mozambique’s tectonic setting is characterised by two main orogenies which constitute 90% of the country’s Precambrian rocks, namely:

  • The Irumide Orogeny (1,800 to 1,350 Ma), represented today by the Irumide Belt in the northwest of the country (forming an extension of the greenstone belts and granite-gneisses of the Zimbabwe Craton)

  • The Mozambican Orogeny (1,100 to 850 Ma), represented by the Mozambique Belt. The Mozambique Belt extends from the Western Desert of Egypt, down through eastern Africa and into Mozambique. The regional lithotypes are quartz-mica schists, biotite schists and amphibolites with a northeast to east strike trend. In common with the other mobile belts in southern Africa, the Mozambique Belt comprises high-grade metamorphic rocks (granulites and gneisses) with associated, generally acid intrusions.

4.7.3 Mineralisation

The Manica Belt in Mozambique contains gold, copper, asbestos, lead, iron, nickel and bauxite. The Gairezi and Umkondo groups contain iron, copper and limestone. Pegmatites in the Zambézia and Nampula provinces contain minor metals (notably niobium and tantalum), gemstones, beryl, mica, feldspar and radioactive minerals. Alluvial gold deposits are also found in this region. In northeastern Mozambique, pegmatites contain tantalum, along with niobium, antimony, bismuth, lithium minerals, quartz and beryl. Coal deposits have been found in the lower Karoo Supergroup. Ilmenite, rutile, zircon and monazite are found in HMS deposits in dunes and beach sands (Schlüter, 2006).

In 2019, Mozambique played a significant role in world production of ilmenite (8.4%) and zircon (3.5%) (USGS, 2020). Other mineral commodities exploited in Mozambique include coal, bauxite, tantalite and columbite, asbestos, graphite, fluorite, limestone, halite and gypsum (Yager, 2017; Schlüter, 2006).

Mineral sands

Mozambique hosts some of the world’s largest deposits of titanium-bearing HMS. Based on extensive HMS mineralisation located along much of the 2,470 km long coastline, Mozambique has the potential to grow as one of the world's foremost producers of titanium and zirconium minerals. The key deposits currently being mined and explored are listed in Table 4-3.

5 Inhambane Project

5.1 Introduction

HVY’s Inhambane Project comprises a single Mining Concession Application, 10255C (the tenement), which covers an area of approximately 183.55 km[2] centred approximately 16 km south–southwest of the Inhambane port. This concession replaces the original exploration licence, 4658L which covered an area of 197.57 km[2] (subsequently reduced to 193.81 km[2] by the Mozambique Department of Mines) prior to the application for a mining concession in March 2020.

Prior to application for the tenement by +258 Limitada in 2011, the southeastern corner of the tenement was tested by hand-auger holes drilled by Rio Tinto. Only limited information from Rio Tinto’s exploration is available in the public domain (Dumouchel et al., 2016).

Exploration by HVY is still at a relatively early stage, with only one drilling program completed in 2014 in a small part of the southwest corner of the tenement. Almost all of the 41 holes drilled by HVY (excluding redrilled holes) intersected HM mineralisation. HVY interprets that two of these holes intersected relatively high-grade ilmenite-rich mineralisation formed along potential strandlines found deeper below surface testing by Rio Tinto.

An Inferred Mineral Resource of 51 Mt containing 3.4% HM and 5% slimes containing 1.7 Mt of HM with an assemblage of 60% ilmenite, 2% rutile, 5% zircon and 4% leucoxene has been estimated within the area drilled by HVY in 2014, which comprises only 3% of the available tenement area. HVY renewed the tenement in 2017 and applied for the mining concession in 2020. HVY proposes to continue exploration using aero magnetic geophysical surveying to assist identifying additional areas to be tested by drilling. Airborne geophysical surveying has previously revealed relatively ilmenite-rich mineralisation in the adjacent tenement located to the south of 4658L, which is part of the Mutamba project owned by a consortium of Savannah Resources plc and Rio Tinto.

Due to its proximity, the adjacent Mutamba project is considered by HVY to represent a relevant analogue of the likely geological and mining conditions to be encountered by HVY at Inhambane. The Rio Tinto–Savannah consortium completed a scoping study at Mutamba in May 2017. Key outcomes of this scoping study (Savannah Resources plc, 2017a) relevant to the future development of HVY’s Inhambane Project include:

  • Large-scale, long-life (+30 year) operation based on three HM zones

  • Thick, sheet-like orebody geometry

  • Stripping ratio close to zero

  • Dozer trap dry mining the preferred mining option

  • Conventional HM processing flowsheet to produce a HM concentrate with more than 90% HM

  • Modest pre-production capital requirements

  • Favourable setting relative to established infrastructure and logistics.

The first phase of the Mutamba pre-feasibility study (PFS) commenced in August 2017. Initial studies demonstrated that conventional dry mining methods are well suited to the area with gravity separation using spiral circuits. To this end, and as part of the PFS, the consortium completed the construction of a 20 tph pilot WCP in November 2017 and commissioned it on 7 December 2017. The pilot plant was run for a few months to ensure that it was operating as expected, then placed on care and maintenance pending obtaining a bulk sample for testing producing an HM concentrate. The consortium has not published information concerning operation of the pilot plant or progress of the PFS since April 2018.

Page 34

As outlined in Savannah’s Scoping Study Announcement dated 30 May 2017, production at Mutamba was targeted to initially commence in 2020 and continue for a 30-year period with average annual production of 456,000 t of roasted ilmenite and 118,000 t of non-magnetic concentrate (rutile and zircon). Furthermore, Rio Tinto or an affiliate has agreed to enter into an offtake agreement to purchase 100% of the HM production on commercial terms. More recent announcements by Savannah have not updated the proposed development timetable and SRK understands that Savannah’s current focus remains the completion of the PFS.

All of these support HVY’s development concept and provide a potential partnering opportunity should ongoing exploration activities at Inhambane prove successful.

5.1.1 Review completed by SRK

Specifically, SRK has:

  • Held discussions with Mr Paul Leandri, the geologist who supervised HVY’s 2014 drilling program.

  • Visited the Inhambane tenement on Thursday, 7 September 2017. This visit was organised by HVY, and HVY staff accompanied SRK during the visit. The visit comprised:

  • Travelling in a four-wheel drive vehicle along unformed tracks used to access the more southerly lines of holes drilled by HVY in May 2014

  • Visiting two sites at which holes were drilled by HVY in 2014

  • Driving along the formed road that crosses the tenement and provides access to dwellings and resorts along the coast east and south from the tenement

  • Driving through the Inhambane township, including viewing the Inhambane port from the coast near the landward end of the jetty.

  • Engaged with Mr Greg Jones, the consultant who developed the digital resource model used to estimate the Mineral Resources reported by HVY. This dialogue included Mr Jones demonstrating the resource model that was current in early October 2017 on a computer screen and responding to queries about the report he co-authored about the 2014 drilling program, resource model, and estimates of Mineral Resources. This report was subsequently revised in 2019 and again in 2021 (in light of the change in tenure area on application for the mining concession). The version as at the Effective Date of the IGR is GNJ 2021.

  • Reviewed of the resource reports, GNJ 2019 and GNJ2021.

  • Reviewed HVY’s proposed Work Program (Jones, G, 2019).

For clarity, SRK carefully reviewed reports provided by HVY, but did not audit the work completed by HVY, or reassess primary data provided by HVY. SRK reviewed the resource estimate report for the Inhambane Project (GNJ 2019/GNJ 2021) provided by HVY, including discussions with the authors in 2017, but did not reassess primary data and did not audit the evaluation described in the report.

5.2 Project locality description

5.2.1 Location

HVY’s Mining Concession Application (Pending) 10255 C is located on the Inhambane Peninsula within a radius of approximately 26 km southeast from the Inhambane port. The centre of the tenement is at approximately latitude 23°59' S longitude 35°27' E and is approximately 360 km northeast of the Mozambican capital, Maputo, 220 km south of Vilanculos and 460 km south of the port of Beira on the Indian Ocean coastline (straight line distances).

The border between the districts of Cidad de Inhambane and Jangamo in Inhambane Province traverses the current tenement.

HVY’s Inhambane tenement lies immediately north of the Mutamba project. The Mutamba project includes the Mutamba North deposit (consisting of Jangamo, Dongane and Ravene deposits) and the Chilubane deposit (located 180 km southwest of Mutamba North), with a combined Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource of 4.4 Bt at 3.9% THM (Savannah Resources plc, 2017b). Having completed a scoping-level study in May 2017, the consortium approved the commencement of a PFS at Mutamba and the construction of a pilot plant.

5.2.2 Topography

Most of the Inhambane Peninsula comprises flat lowlands between stabilised dune ridges reaching a maximum height of 60 m amsl which are punctuated by several elongated shallow lakes and low-lying depressions that extend parallel to the main coastline. The seaward sides of sand dunes rise relatively steeply from the beach, affording many residences along these dunes with extensive views towards the sea and along the coastline.

5.2.3 Vegetation

The dunes are vegetated by low-lying coastal grasses and shrubs of the Zanzibar–Inhambane Bio Province including Canavalia maritima , Cyperus maritimus , Dactyloctenium aequptiacum , Ipomoea pes-caprae , Launaea sarmentosa , Scaevola thunbergii , Sesuvium portulacastrum , Sophora tomentosa , Sporobolus virginicus , Tephrosia canescens and the endemic Sophora inhambanensis . The tallest vegetation in the area is scattered coconut palms. This vegetation is not dense, and the dunes can easily be traversed on foot.

Many areas are subject to low-intensity farming, comprising cultivation for foodstuffs (SRK observed plots planted with cassava, and scattered coconut palms) and animal husbandry on a domestic scale.

5.2.4 Climate

The Inhambane Peninsula experiences a humid tropical climate. Notably:

  • The rainy season is during summer and extends from November to April, with the peak rainfall from December to February. The average annual rainfall is 950 mm.

  • Monthly average maximum temperatures for December to February are marginally more than 30°C, decreasing to 25°C during the dry winter season.

  • Monthly average minimum temperatures for November to April are between 20°C and 23°C, decreasing to 16°C during June and July.

  • Monthly average relative humidity is between 73% and 78% throughout the year.

Tropical storms that commence over the ocean in the Mozambique Channel and east from Madagascar can intensify to become tropical cyclones. These features typically travel in a general southwesterly or westerly direction. Most of these cyclones do not reach the southern African coastline, though every few years a cyclone does make landfall in this area. Prior to SRK’s site visit in September 2017, the most recent cyclone to cross the southern African coast was Cyclone Dineo, which made landfall over the Inhambane Peninsula in February 2017, and caused damage to infrastructure and vegetation (including crops) over a widespread area, including flooding in Mozambique and neighbouring countries. The next cyclone to make landfall on the Mozambican coast was Cyclone Idai, which made landfall twice, the second instance overnight on 14/15 March 2019 near Beira, 450 km north from Inhambane. Cyclone Idai brought substantial devastation to Beira and the surrounding area. Idai caused severe flooding throughout Mozambique, Malawi, Zimbabwe and Madagascar, resulting in 1,300 confirmed fatalities and many more missing persons. More than 3 M people in these four countries experienced the direct effects of the cyclone, including destruction of crops, dwellings and infrastructure by wind, floods, storm surge and landslides. Damage to infrastructure by Idai across these countries was estimated to exceed US$1 Billion.

Droughts that occasionally impact Mozambique are interpreted to be related to the El Niño weather pattern in the Pacific Ocean.

5.2.5 Infrastructure

Inhambane Town, which is located near the northwestern tip of the Inhambane Peninsula, is the administrative centre of the Inhambane Province and has a population of approximately 65,000 people. Indications of industry in Inhambane imply the presence of personnel and services that could support a future mining operation.

The Inhambane tenement is well located with respect to local transportation infrastructure, including:

  • The EN1 National Highway, a main sealed road which connects Maputo to Beira. Inhambane Town is connected to EN1 via the Avenida de Maguiguana, also a sealed road, which is located outside the western flank of the tenement. Avenida de Maguiguana is routed generally south from Inhambane past Jangamo Town then west to Lindela townsite where it joins the EN1.

  • The Inhambane airport has a sealed airstrip, taxiways and hardstand. Inhambane is served by almost daily flights from Maputo and charter connections to Johannesburg in South Africa.

  • A port comprising a wharf in a marine channel at the end of a single jetty that crosses a shallow sandy substrate. Both the jetty and wharf were observed from the shoreline to be constructed mainly from concrete. The jetty is adjacent to a built-up business and urban area, without nearby vacant area for stockpiles of mineral products. HVY advised that the channel from the open sea to the jetty has filled with sediment and would require dredging prior to accommodating ships for the export HM products to international destinations. A narrow-gauge rail track from Inharrime terminated approximately 750 m northeast from Inhambane port, though, as mentioned below, the rail lines and sleepers have been removed from this track. There was a short branch rail track along the side of a street then on to the jetty; however, the rail lines and sleepers have also been removed from this track.

In the past, a narrow-gauge rail track ran for approximately 100 km along the coastal plain from Inharrime to Inhambane. This track has now been abandoned, though it still appears on some maps, such as in Figure 4-1. The rail track was located outside the western flank of the tenement, adjacent the Avenida de Maguiguana. Near the Inhambane tenement and within the Inhambane townsite, SRK observed that almost all rail lines and sleepers have been removed from the track and many structures where the track crossed water courses are in disrepair. Some temporary buildings have encroached upon the track within the townsite, though the location of the track is recognisable in many places.

A formed road dressed with local iron-stained sand traverses southeast from west to east across the tenement, then south along the southeastern flank of the tenement. It provides access from Inhambane (and the airport) to several resorts and numerous houses developed along the coastline east and south from the southeast corner of the tenement. A similarly constructed road provides access to the central north of the tenement.

There are no substantial villages within the tenement, though there are many occupied dwellings, and also many farmhouses abandoned during the civil unrest, distributed about the tenement. These buildings are accessed along tracks, many of which can be traversed by two-wheel drive vehicles with good ground clearance. The tracks appear to have developed through repetitious use by local residents and are not formed or maintained by earthmoving equipment. The tracks could provide vehicle access to most nearby locations within the tenement. Although vegetation would need to be cleared from the sides of many tracks before larger vehicles such as drill rigs could readily use them.

A 200 kVA trunk electrical power transmission line runs along the western side of the EN1 highway west from the tenement, with a substation at Lindela. The transmission line brings power from the southeast of Mozambique to consumers in Inhambane Province. In March 2018, it was announced that works on this line and the installation of the Lindela substation in Jangamo district (including installation of two new 15 MVA transformers, and a 30 kVA high voltage line) had been completed using funds from the Mozambican Government and Danish Government aid (Macauhub, 2018).

More detailed information relating to this agreement is provided in the Material Contracts section of the Company’s Prospectus.

5.4 Geology

5.4.1 Regional setting

The following description of the near surface geology of the coastal area south from Inhambane Peninsula area is based on that within Dumouchel et al., 2016, which is the most comprehensive published description of Rio Tinto’s exploration for HM along the southern coast of Mozambique.

The coastal region of southern Mozambique forms part of the Mozambique Basin, which is up to 400 km wide, with an onshore area of about 270,000 km[2] and a long axis of about 1,200 km. It is characterised by a complex sequence of Cretaceous to Quaternary age sedimentary rocks and unconsolidated sand deposits, which rest unconformably on Karoo Supergroup sedimentary and volcanic rocks. The base of the post-Karoo sedimentary sequence comprises a very thick continental sediment known as the Red Beds Formation. The Red Beds are overlain by glauconitic sandstones and arenaceous limestones of the Maputo Formation, defining a transition to marine conditions during Early Cretaceous times. The remainder of the Cretaceous is represented by a variety of rock types of marine, continental and transitional origin, suggesting tectonic activity caused differential uplift.

The bulk of the overlying Cenozoic succession is a shallow-marine facies typical of a passive continental margin, made up of two sedimentary cycles separated by an unconformity. These comprise a Palaeocene to Eocene cycle of glauconitic sand, clays and marls, and an Oligocene to Neogene cycle, which comprises terrigenous deposits of the Limpopo River and Zambezi River deltas.

MCKI/BROW/kear

MOZ001_HVY_Mozmin IGR_Rev7.docx

23 July 2021

SRK Consulting

Page 40

The area between the Limpopo and Zambezi rivers remained a shallow-water environment during the Neogene and comprises the Inharrime, Temane and Jofane formations. An extensive regression at the end of the Pliocene to early Pleistocene produced a widespread set of coast-parallel dunes, alluvial river terraces and lacustrine deposits, gradually progressing seaward.

The current coastal plain is an extensive low-lying zone of unconsolidated Quaternary to Recent sediments, separated from the ocean by both older stable palaeodunes and active dunes. The cordons of active dunes are up to 2 km wide, and in many places the elevation exceeds 100 m above sea level. Modern beach rock is intermittently exposed along the unprotected high-energy wind and wave-dominated shore, commonly comprising cemented calcareous sandstone. Coastal erosion processes, in conjunction with rapid Quaternary sea level change in Mozambique, caused unconsolidated coastal sediments to undergo numerous cycles of erosion, transport and deposition. This allowed winnowing of enriched secondary sources of more resistant minerals, including rutile, ilmenite and zircon, into localised HM placer deposits.

5.4.2 Local geology

The following description is largely derived from Dumouchel et al., 2016 and announcements by Savannah (which is in a consortium with Rio Tinto at Mutamba, which lies immediately south of HVY’s licence area). The northern extent of the tenements comprising the Mutamba project corresponds approximately with the southern extent of HVY’s Inhambane tenement.

Information pertaining to the geology of HVY’s tenement relies on previous work at the Mutamba project along with observations and interpretation from satellite imagery, in addition to the results from 41 exploration holes drilled by HVY in the southwest corner of the tenement. These sources indicate that the geology in HVY’s tenement is similar to that within Savannah’s Mutamba project to the south.

The Inhambane region contains vast quantities of reworked coastal sands that were deposited by the Limpopo River further south. HVY’s Inhambane tenement is over sand dunes located between 1 and 15 km inland from the current coastline.

The Project area covers parts of two dune systems – a seaward dune system on the eastern flank of the tenement and a landward dune system of the western flank. These dune systems are separated by a drainage line with associated lakes and swamps. The overall trend of these two dunal systems is to the northeast, parallel to the present coast. The surface of the systems comprises a series of long north–northwest oriented parabolic dunes (visible as inverted ‘U’ shapes when viewed with north upwards) representing blowouts that have cut down into older mineralised dunes. These parabolic dunes climb up and also incorporate reworked sand from older dunes that form prominent topographic highs across the area.

Regional reconnaissance hand-auger drilling completed along approximately 250 km of coastline southwest from HVY’s tenement by Rio Tinto since 2000 identified two areas in which there were promising accumulations of HM-bearing sands. The more prospective is the Mutamba Project which is approximately 45 km long by 10 km wide and forms the coastal plain south from the Inhambane Peninsula. The less prospective of these two areas is the Chilubane project, which is located along the coastline northeast from the mouth of the Limpopo River. Both these areas are now part of the consortium comprising Savannah and Rio Tinto.

Three separate mineralised areas are recognised within the Mutamba project area that lies immediately south of HVY’s licence area, namely, the Jangamo, Ravene and Dongane areas. Six major geological units comprising a mixture of marine, fluvial and aeolian sedimentary deposits have been defined in these three areas. The generalised stratigraphy is shown in Figure 5-2.

Figure 5-2: Summary stratigraphic column for the Mutamba project Source: Dumouchel et al., 2016

The bulk of the titanium and zircon sand mineralisation at Mutamba is associated with at least 160 m of older marine-intertidal-aeolian sediments that include three generations of the stable older palaeodunes (referred to as D1, D2 and D3 in Dumouchel et al., 2016), which occur inland of the coastline and overlie a package of marine-intertidal sediments. Unit D3 is the most important in terms of economic geology. Dumouchel et al., 2016 report that the 9,841 samples logged as Unit D3 in the Mutamba project area have an average of 3.3% HM and low slimes content, making it potentially amenable to low-cost dredge mining methods. These are overlain by the contemporary aeolian D4 unit and alluvial material.

D1 is the oldest aeolian deposit overlying the Intertidal unit, and is composed of a dark red to redbrown silt-rich (>20%) palaeodunal quartz sand, with an average HM of 1.3%, although its high slimes content precluded it from being considered part of the mineralised envelope by Rio Tinto. In the Jangamo zone identified by Rio Tinto, which is south–southwest from the southwestern corner of HVY’s tenement, D1 forms a core onto which subsequent aeolian sands were deposited and is associated with some of the highest elevations in the area. Most of unit D1 is completely obscured by a variety of younger sediments.

MCKI/BROW/kear

MOZ001_HVY_Mozmin IGR_Rev7.docx

23 July 2021

SRK Consulting

Page 42

The Fluvial unit lies between D1 and D2, reflecting a change in sedimentary conditions at this time. It comprises mainly medium- to coarse-grained sands to a maximum thickness of 84 m.

D2 is the most common unit overlying D1, and comprises light to dark orange-brown quartz sand with an average slimes content of 8%. The contact between D1 and D2 is mostly defined by a distinct drop in the slimes content from about 18%–20% in D1 to 8% in D2. Sediment interpreted to represent D2 palaeodunes has an average of 2.8% HM and is an economically important unit.

D3 overlies D2 and comprises a generally looser and more free-flowing quartz sand sequence, which occurs in a long, low series of parabolic landforms with northwest–southeast axes, interpreted as aeolian sediments. The D2 to D3 contact is best defined by the slime characteristics, with the latter averaging about 6.3%.

D4 is mainly composed of yellow-white and grey free-flowing quartz sand, which overlies D3, and represents the modern frontal dune system adjacent to the contemporary coastline. The D4 unit does host moderate grade HM mineralisation but is not a major component of the sequence at either Jangamo or Dongane. These modern frontal dunes are still mobile with extensive areas of exposed, unvegetated sand with an average grade of 2.7% HM.

By inference and due to the relative proximity to the third-party held Mutamba project, HVY considers the stratigraphic sequence to be similar across the two areas (i.e. Inhambane and Mutamba).

5.4.3 Local mineralisation

The concentrations of HM along the Inhambane coastline are the result of the action of water (beach and possibly fluvial) and wind. The HM content of the sand is one of its main distinguishing geological characteristics, indicating that natural concentrating mechanisms have been active at some stage during its past. Additionally, slimes and oversize contents of the sands are indicators of previous geological environments.

Previous drilling shows that the distribution of the recorded mineralisation near surface is consistent with aeolian (windblown) deposits, while the mineralisation at depth is concentrated along strandlines (i.e. old beach fronts). The highest HM concentrations are typically associated with strandline deposits.

At the adjacent Mutamba project, the heavy sand mineralisation occurs within the three main zones at Jangamo, Dongane and Ravene, all of which have relatively similar characteristics. At Mutamba, mineralisation extends north–south for up to 20 km and is of variable width, up to 6 km in the centre, while being approximately 1.5 km wide in the north near HVY’s Inhambane Project tenure. The dune topography is variable, but mineralisation typically averages 18 m in thickness and has a maximum thickness of 54 m. Mineralisation generally extends up to the surface.

The combined ilmenite, rutile and zircon economic HM content is 60% to 80% HM, with the bulk of the mineralisation hosted by the D2, D3 and Fluvial units. The highest grade occurs in the centre of the known pods. The HM grain-size distribution at Mutamba has a range 90 to 210 µm, with 50% of HM grains being >142 µm. The overall slimes content for Mutamba is 7.1% and typically comprises kaolinite and illite.

Along at least one line of holes drilled by HVY within its Inhambane tenure, laboratory testwork on samples has revealed zones of elevated concentrations of HM that HVY has interpreted to be strand lines. QEMSCAN analysis of composite samples reveals predominantly reworked particles (few grains with limonite rims).

5.5 Project history

The first recorded systematic exploration for HMS mineralisation in the Inhambane Peninsula area was conducted by Rio Tinto commencing in 2000. Between 2000 and 2006, Rio Tinto carried out a reconnaissance hand-auger drilling program along the southern coastline of Mozambique, which included the two transects within a few kilometres of the southern boundary of HVY’s current Inhambane tenement (Dumouchel et al., 2016). Approximately 15 auger holes were manually drilled along two east–west oriented lines located within the southwestern corner of HVY’s tenement. These auger lines were spaced approximately 2 km apart and the holes were typically less than 15 m deep. All hand-auger samples were collected over 1.5 m intervals, and were analysed at a purpose-built laboratory in Inhambane for HM content using a heavy liquid with a density of 2.85 g/cm[3] . Slimes (<45 μm) and oversize (+1 mm) fraction data for each sample were also collected (Dumouchel et al., 2016). Information about these particular holes and samples is not publicly available.

The results of Rio Tinto’s regional auger drilling program suggested that the most prospective areas for the discovery of large tonnages of high grade THM within a host of free-flowing, low slimes sand amenable to dredge mining were in the Jangamo district (Dumouchel et al., 2016). Work from 2002 to 2007 focused on the Jangamo and Inharrime districts, with exploration including relatively shallow (<15 m) vibracore drilling and deeper (>50 m) reverse-circulation drilling on a 500 m by 500 m grid.

5.6 Recent exploration

5.6.1 Exploration by HVY

Following the grant of 4658L to +258 in March 2012, Mozmin and +258 negotiated a partnership in 2013. In early 2014, Mozmin completed a due diligence review and compiled the publicly available technical information prior to completing a three-dimensional targeting assessment focusing on potentially thicker mineralised intervals within the licence. These thicker zones were interpreted based on topography and the regional dip of stratigraphic units reported to contain mineralised intervals in the adjacent Mutamba project tenements. Seven initial target areas were outlined – six of these are shown in Figure 6-1, and one between Target A and Target B is not shown.

In May 2014, HVY drill tested Target A, which was the most easily accessible of these seven target areas. After intersecting HM mineralisation that exhibited some characteristics of potentially high HM grade strandline accumulations in the seventh hole drilled, HVY continued to drill Target A in an endeavour to establish the distribution of the high-grade mineralisation and enable the preparation of a Mineral Resource estimate. In total HVY completed 41 holes (1,783 m of drilling) at Target A.

The holes were drilled on a 500 m by 250 m nominal grid using air-core equipment (76 mm or NQ sized drill rods) with most holes completed to depths of between 38 m and 50 m below surface. In total, five lines were completed with all holes geologically logged at the rig site. During drilling of the third hole, Mozmin staff observed that the auto-splitting apparatus on the drill rig was not functioning as designed and, as per the QAQC protocols, the first three holes were redrilled prior to the program continuing. These initial three holes have not been used in any resource estimation. Samples were collected at 1.5 m intervals down the hole with the exception of the first 2 m, which was sampled and stored separately. Samples were auto-split from approximately 8 kg of material down to 1.5 to 2.5 kg by a cone splitter in the sample recovery system attached to the drill rig. After drying, these samples were manually split to 1 to 1.5 kg.

MCKI/BROW/kear

MOZ001_HVY_Mozmin IGR_Rev7.docx

23 July 2021

SRK Consulting

Page 44

In total, 1,175 samples were collected from the 41 holes drilled. Of these, 832 samples considered to be mineralised were selected for assay (determination of oversize, sand, slimes and HM grades). Samples that had been estimated to contain more than 0.2% HM, plus intervening or adjacent samples estimated to contain less than 0.2% HM, were sent to Diamantina Laboratories in Perth, Western Australia, for assaying. Contiguous samples estimated at the drill site to contain less than 0.2% HM were not assayed.

HM concentrates from drill hole samples were selected according to geological zone and HM cut-off grade then combined to create three group samples. The mineralogical and chemical characteristics of each of the three group samples were determined by QEMSCAN analysis by ALS Metallurgy’s laboratory in Perth.

The exploration results from this drilling program are reported in GNJ 2019 and GNJ 2021, including intercepts of samples with more than 2% HM reported in Appendix 1. SRK understands that Mr Paul Leandri, the geologist who supervised the drilling and sampling program in 2014, has been nominated as the Competent Person for the Exploration Results reported in GNJ 2019 and GNJ 2021.

As discussed in Section 5.7.1, information from these Exploration Results was used to support an Inferred Mineral Resource estimate (GNJ 2021).

HVY has planned further exploration and project development activities, as described in Section 6.1.

5.6.2 SRK commentary

SRK considers that the drilling, sampling, geological logging, sample assaying and mineral determination procedures all reflect good practice for HM exploration and resource delineation programs. HVY has stated that it intends to conduct metallurgical test work to more directly support confidence in which mineral particles may be recovered during industrial-scale mineral processing.

On 7 September 2017, SRK visited several sites at Inhambane at which holes had been drilled in May 2014. As is typical for HMS exploration projects, HVY had not installed permanent markers at the drill sites. SRK did not observe any hole collars, but at two sites visited did observe small piles of surplus sample that had been overgrown by vegetation. The satellite image dated 10 November 2014 observed on Google Earth shows clear, though subtle, evidence (probably dried crushed vegetation) of the routes that vehicles used to access most drill sites.

5.7 Estimates of Mineral Resources

5.7.1 Summary of Mineral Resource estimate reported by HVY

The results from the 41 holes drilled by Mozmin at its Target A in 2014 were used to develop an estimate of the tonnage and grade of HMS mineralisation within the area drilled. This estimate was prepared for Mozmin by Mr Greg Jones of GNJ Consulting Pty Ltd (GNJ), who accepted the role of Competent Person for the estimate. Mr Jones classified the estimate, which is recorded in Table 5-2, as an Inferred Mineral Resource according to the JORC Code (2012). The most recent report on this estimate is titled ‘Heavy Minerals Limited, Inhambane Mineral Resource Estimate, May 2021’ (also known elsewhere in this report as GNJ 2021), and summarises the exploration results on which the estimate is based, describes how the estimate was developed, and includes Sections 1 to 3 of JORC Code Table 1. SRK understands that this report is available for download on HVY’s Corporate website.

The estimate reported in GNJ 2021 only considered results from HVYs drill holes into its Target A, with all other targets at Inhambane remaining to be drill tested.

Accompanying statements:

  • 1 The effective date of the estimate of the Mineral Resource is April 2021.

  • 2 The Mineral Resource is reported at a cut-off grade of 2% HM.

  • 3 The HM assemblage is reported as a percentage of in situ HM content. Estimates of mineral assemblage were determined by compositing HM concentrates (sinks) from the same geological domain, then measuring the abundance and other characteristics of the mineral constituents using QEMSCAN. GNJ reported the minerals dominantly comprising TiO2 as follows: primary ilmenite 47–52% TiO2; altered ilmenite 52–58% TiO2; Leucoxene (HiTi) 58–70% TiO2 plus half of 70–90% TiO2; and rutile half of 70–90% TiO2 plus 90–100% TiO2.

  • 4 GNJ considers the Mineral Resource to have reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction however Mineral Resources are not Ore Reserves and may not be economically viable.

  • 5 The quantity and grade of reported Inferred Mineral Resources in this estimation are uncertain in nature as there has been insufficient exploration to define these as an Indicated or Measured Mineral Resource. It is uncertain whether further exploration will result in upgrading them to an Indicated or Measured Mineral Resource category.

  • 6 The information in Section 5.7.1 of this document that relates to the Inhambane Mineral Resource is based on and fairly represents information and supporting documentation prepared by Messrs Greg Jones and Paul Leandri. At the time of preparation, Mr Jones was a consultant to HVY (through GNJ, an independent consultancy), Geological Services Manager for IHC Robbins and a director of HVY, while Mr Leandri was employed as an independent consultant to HVY. For a short period in 2014, Mr Leandri was contracted by HVY and supervised aspects of HVY’s drilling program. Mr Jones is a member of the Australasian Institute for Mining and Metallurgy (AusIMM) and Mr Leandri is a member of the AusIMM and the Australian Institute of Geoscientists (AIG). Both have sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which they are undertaking to qualify as Competent Persons as defined in the JORC Code (2012). Specifically, Mr Leandri is the Competent Person for the Exploration Results reported in GNJ 2021. Mr Jones is the Competent Person for the Mineral Resource estimate reported in GNJ 2021. SRK understands that Messrs Leandri and Jones have consented to the inclusion in this Report of the matters based on their information in the form and context in which it appears in this Report.

  • 7 HVY has provided written assurance to SRK that between the effective date of the Mineral Resource estimate and the effective date of this IGR, the Mineral Resource estimate presented in GNJ 2019 has not been affected by any environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issue known to HVY.

  • 8 Note that all Mineral Resource estimates and Exploration Results within the Report pertaining to the Inhambane Project have been reported in accordance to the JORC Code (2012). HVY confirms that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates continue to apply and have not materially changed. HVY confirms that the form and context in which the Competent Person’s findings are presented have not been materially modified from the original Mineral Resource estimate.

A summary description of the estimation and classification procedure for the Inhambane Mineral Resource is provided below.

Resource reporting date April 2021
Geological model to
constrain mineralisation
Distinct lithological horizons are identified.
Dunal units dominate the lithologies, with the bulk of the geology divided into
two mineralised units, and one minor localised barren unit interpreted to
represent a washout within an otherwise strongly mineralized zone.
Drill hole collars are used to create the topography digital terrain model (DTM).
Interpreted basement is identified as elevated in SLIMES content and
consisting predominantly of very coarse to medium grain-sized sand.
Drilling, sample spacings All drilling has been air core (AC) top-drive rotary open holes.
The dominant drill spacing is 250 m by 500 m with NQ holes and sample
lengths of 1.5 m (except for the first sample below ground being 2 m long).
Estimation methods The geological grade model is based on a combination of coding model cells
and drill hole samples inside closed wireframe solids and below wireframe
surfaces that represent ground, dunal lithology and basement surfaces, and a
local washout.
XYZ parent model cell dimensions of 125 m by 250 m by 1.5 m are used in the
final model – which is considered appropriate given the early stage of
exploration of the project and the Inferred Mineral Resource classification.
The resource model has been interpolated for assay grades (HM, OS, SL, SA),
logged hardness and mineral assemblage group name.
Assay grades were interpolated using inverse distance cubed methods.
Maximum samples per drill hole was set at 2, with a minimum of 2 and
maximum of 16 samples set per cell estimate – this resulted in an average
between 9 and 10 samples from at least 2 drill holes being applied for each cell
estimate.
Octant-based searching was employed to prevent drill holes at edges providing
too high an influence.
Logged hardness and mineral assemblage group name were assigned using
nearest neighbour methods.
A dynamic ellipsoid modelling technique was applied to account for the dip,
trend and plunge (DTP) of mineralisation by using DTP strings to control
search ellipse orientations for sub-zones.
Hard domain boundaries were applied as defined by the interpreted geological
surfaces.
Density An average bulk density of 1.7 t/m3was applied across the entire Mineral
Resource estimate.
The value is based on the Competent Person’s experience, average HM and
slimes grades and average bulk density of quartz sand being 1.6 t/m3.
Reporting grade cut-off The Mineral Resources are reported at a cut-off grade of 2% HM.
Selection of the HM cut-off grade was based on review of resource cut-off
grades applied for other deposits in Mozambique with comparable depositional
settings with similar to lower value mineralogy (cut-off grades of 1.3% to
2.9% HM), the grade-tonnage curve for Inhambane showing inflexion points at
cut-off grades of 1%, 1.5% and 2.5% to 3% HM indicating natural grade and
tonnage break points, and consideration of high-level economic factors leading
to reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction.
The 2% HM cut-off grade was applied to account for the value of VHM content
and as a mid-point of the 1.5% and 2.5% inflexion points on grade-tonnage
curves.
Constraints, mining
assumptions
No minimum mining thicknesses, or maximum stripping ratios have been
applied when the accumulated tonnes and average grades of resource have
been estimated.

Reasonable Prospects
for Eventual Economic
Extraction (RPEEE)
assumptions
Most likely mining method is considered to be dozer trap.
Despite only three group samples, the assemblage grades for all three are
similar and indicate generally economically favourable HM to trash mineral
ratios across the drilled area.
Grade values of the mineral assemblages are considered to be sufficient to
support economic exploitation.
Classification An interpretation of the gross mineralised units has been used to constrain
grade interpolation, but there are insufficient drill holes to interpret continuous
zones of higher-grade mineralisation.
The sample support and distribution of mineral assemblage composites are
considered adequate to infer an overall global average grade.
The classification as Inferred Mineral Resource is based on the drill hole
spacing, quality of QA/QC sampling and the distribution of mineral assemblage
composites.
Comments The mineral assemblage is reported as percentage of in situ HM content.
The HM mineralogy is determined by compositing HM concentrates (sinks)
from the same ore zones in order to obtain sufficient HM and conduct
mineralogical examination.
Mineralogy composites were selected on geological zones along and between
lines of drilling, resulting in three samples taken across the entire deposit.
Plans have been prepared to summarise model values, illustrating grades and
distribution of HM, slimes, key VHM mineralogy species and thickness of
mineralisation above cut-off grade of 2% HM.
The waste-to-ore ratio is derived and presented together with total tonnage of
material and HM as contained in ground. The waste material in a given
vertical column of cells is that which lies above the lowermost cell that meets
the reporting or cut-off grade criteria.

5.7.2 SRK comments

In SRK’s opinion:

  • The quantity and quality of the available data is sufficient to support the Mineral Resource as reported.

  • The three main geological zones that are reflected in the resource model, and were applied to constrain compositing of the group samples and interpolation of assay grades, appear sound given the quantity of information available for interpretation, and published information about the regional geology.

  • The grade interpolation methods applied are conventional for HM deposits (assay grades by inverse distance, and mineral grades by nearest neighbour), particularly for modelling prospects at an early stage of exploration.

  • While the interpolation was not constrained by hard contacts, and so there is still some potential that the mineralisation may not be as continuous and extensive as currently modelled, this is reflected by the classification of the mineralisation as Inferred.

  • The absence of oversize material and the relatively low slimes contents are favourable characteristics.

  • While the Mineral Resource is reliant on two significant intersections (from 23 m to 36.5 m which contains 7.8% HM and from 27.5 m to 42.5 m in drill hole IN0030 which contains 8.7% HM), the further drilling required to advance this to an Indicated Mineral Resource level will serve to reduce the influence and test the integrity of these data.

In addition to the drilling required to upgrade the existing Mineral Resource to the Indicated and Measured categories, the key focus of future work needs to be the exploration of the remainder of the concession area and to have the aim of adding to the Mineral Resource already reported. This is reflected in the planned exploration set out later in this report.

5.8 Environmental and social considerations

5.8.1 Activities to date by HVY

To date, no baseline environmental or social studies have been conducted by HVY at Inhambane, which is consistent with the early stage exploration status of the Project. Based on disclosures by Savannah at the adjacent Mutamba project, it is evident that there may be areas requiring the management of groundwater levels should dry mining be selected as the preferred mining method.

There are no known impediments to mining development, other than the normal social issues regarding relocation (if necessary) given there are several isolated homesteads in proximity to the defined resource area. In such cases it is normal practice to compensate the landowner for any displacement, including provision of alternative land (all land is owned by the Mozambique Government, and persons and entities obtain a right to use the land for specified purposes), compensation for improvements upon land including buildings and crops, and loss of livelihood. The Mozambican Government has defined rates of compensation.

The area has been extensively disturbed by existing agricultural activities and several watercourses pass near the defined resource area.

It is expected that any future mining operation at Inhambane would require a certain amount of ground disturbance and that HVY would undertake progressive rehabilitation as the mine advances. HVY notes in its JORC Code Table 1 that ‘no specific mining method is assumed other than potentially the use of dry mining via dozer trap’.

It is expected that any future mine tailings would be stored in a dedicated tailings storage facility until a sufficient mining void was opened to allow for in-pit tailings disposal. Slimes are likely to be disposed of with the sand tails or in slimes paddocks built in the original tailings disposal facility. The tailings are expected to be benign and will be covered with soil and sand prior to handback to the community.

5.8.2 SRK commentary

SRK notes that its difficulty in locating the drill collars some 3 years after they had been drilled is testament to the care applied by HVY to minimising disturbance to the local environment, to cleaning up after drilling, and to a rapid rate of natural recovery of the drill sites.

5.9 Risks and opportunities

5.9.1 Risks

Based on its review of the available technical data, SRK considers the Inhambane Project is subject to the following risks:

  • Further drilling does not confirm the continuity of the mineralisation intersected to date to a sufficient degree to enable the upgrading of the Mineral Resource to the Indicated and Measured categories and/or does not prove up sufficient additional Mineral Resources to support a viable mining operation.

  • There may be difficulty accessing Inhambane port (cotton rail-line removed, or other incumbents absorb all capacity).

  • The port may need regular dredging.

  • Ongoing metallurgical testwork provides differing geometallurgical relationships than those currently assumed and these result in lower recoveries and lower VHM concentrate grades than currently assumed.

MCKI/BROW/kear

MOZ001_HVY_Mozmin IGR_Rev7.docx

23 July 2021

SRK Consulting

Page 49

  • On completion of detailed environmental and social work programs, including the impact assessment, further project modifications may be required to ameliorate any identified negative impacts.

  • Hydrology investigations may indicate either a requirement for active pit dewatering, negative impacts on local aquifers, inadequate water to meet anticipated demand or the necessity for postclosure water treatment.

5.9.2 Opportunities

Based on its review of the available technical data, SRK considers the Inhambane Project offers the following opportunities:

  • Entry into an emerging mineral sands production district, with developments being led by the Rio Tinto–Savannah consortium. These parties and developments may represent potential partnering or offtake opportunities for HVY.

  • Proximity to established infrastructure including:

  • two cities, Inhambane and Maxixe, with a total population in 2017 of marginally more than 200,000

  • Inhambane port, though it will require substantial rehabilitation prior to use for shipping mineral sands

  • the EN1 National Highway, a sealed road between Maputo and Beira

  • a 200 kVA trunk power transmission line with a local substation

  • Inhambane airport, which has a sealed airstrip and is served by daily flights to Maputo.

  • This infrastructure may lead to lower capital requirements for a project compared to a more remote site, as well as offering the potential to share facilities with adjacent developers.

  • The potential for the discovery of additional mineralisation within the Exploration Licence, which may add to the Mineral Resource as already reported.

  • There is opportunity to increase confidence in the estimates of the currently defined mineralisation by additional infill and extensional drilling and laboratory testing of samples from those drill holes.

5.10 Project valuation

No Ore Reserves are presently defined in accordance with the JORC Code (2012) at Inhambane and the only Mineral Resources defined are at an Inferred level of confidence and have not been the subject of any techno-economic studies. As such, income-derived methods of valuation are not considered appropriate for the Inhambane Project.

SRK is not aware of any precedent transactions involving HVY’s defined Mineral Resources in the recent past, as no Mineral Resources were defined at the time of the transaction between Mozmin and +258.

Having asked the question of HVY and Mozmin, SRK is not aware of any previous valuations of HVY’s Mineral Resources prepared in accordance with the VALMIN Code (2015) in the public domain.

As such, SRK has not offered any opinion with regard to the current market value of the Inhambane Project.

6 Proposed Exploration Program and Expenditure

6.1 HVY’s Plans

HVY has prepared a 2-year funded work program at its Inhambane Project totalling A$250,000, comprising A$150,000 in Year 1 and A$100,000 in Year 2. These funds will be attributed to geological mapping, aeromagnetic geophysical surveying, geochemical sampling and exploration management (Funded Works).

At present, the Company considers it prudent not to allocate further funding to the Inhambane Project until such time as it is able to confirm the transfer of interests in the Inhambane Project have been recognised by Government of Mozambique (Mozambique Approval).

Pending receipt of the Mozambique Approval, HVY has prepared and provided SRK with a further unfunded work plan pertaining to potential Year 2 exploration activities at its Inhambane Project, comprising A$910,000, for exploration drilling, Resource estimation, limited metallurgical testing and commencement of initial conceptual techno-economic studies (Further Works). The Further Works are currently unfunded. As the Further Works are currently unfunded and in the event the Mozambique Approval is received, the Company may resolve to do one or more of the following:

  • divert some of the funding from working capital or future acquisition costs to the Inhambane Project, or

  • raise new capital to fund the Further Works, or

  • resolve not to undertake some or all of the Further Works.

SRK considers this to be a prudent approach and allows for flexibility in the exploration program. The Further Works will allow for HVY to define any additional targets areas that warrant follow up exploration.

To date, HVY has applied an exploration concept developed from the distribution of mineralisation in the adjacent Mutamba project, which is managed by a consortium comprising Savannah Resources plc and Rio Tinto. HVY’s concept was to interpret the locations of thicker occurrences of the potentially mineralised strata within its mineral tenure, then test these targets by further drilling. Using this approach, HVY initially identified seven target areas within its Exploration Licence, which had been previously outlined by Rio Tinto’s earlier regional reconnaissance auger drilling program. Except for one target located between Target A and Target B, these targets are shown in Figure 6-1.

In May 2014, HVY drill tested Target A as shown in Figure 6-1, which was the most easily accessible of the seven target areas. After intersecting HM mineralisation that exhibited some characteristics of potentially high HM grade strandline accumulations in the seventh hole drilled, HVY continued to drill test Target A in an endeavour to establish the distribution of the high-grade mineralisation, and to establish a maiden Mineral Resource estimate.

Target B shown in Figure 6-1, which has not yet been drill tested by HVY, is located along strike from Savannah Resources plc and Rio Tinto’s Ravene deposit. The northern extent of Inferred Mineral Resources reported by Savannah in an announcement dated 27 March 2017 appears to be approximately 1 km south from the current southern boundary of HVY’s tenement.

HVY’s proposed future exploration activities in its tenure are to:

  • undertake reconnaissance fieldwork including geological mapping to identify host sequences of HM mineralisation (Funded Works)

  • undertake an aeromagnetic geophysical survey to ascertain the presence and location of buried concentrations of ilmenite (Funded Works)

MCKI/BROW/kear

Page 51

  • following receipt of the Mozambique Approval, drill test four of the five other previously defined targets (Targets B to E), and/or targets that may be revealed by the magnetic geophysical survey and reconnaissance fieldwork (Further Works).

As is typical for early-stage exploration, the sequence of activities including the location and amount of drilling in different target areas will depend upon the results of the proposed aeromagnetic survey, reconnaissance fieldwork, and preceding drilling. For budgeting purposes, HVY has assumed:

  • The aeromagnetic geophysical survey will comprise 2,500 line-km at an assumed cost of A$10 per line-km.

  • Targets B through E to be tested at drill hole spacings typically of 200 m along drill lines 1000 m apart with some areas down to of 200 m along drill lines 500 m apart.

  • All holes are to be drilled to an average of 50 m depth with 10,000 m of drill advance completed at an assumed cost of A$40/m advance.

  • 80% of all samples will be assayed, totalling 5,333 assays if all drilling is sampled at 1.5 m intervals down hole at an assumed assay cost of A$30 per sample.

HVY has included allowances in its Further Works forecast budget for the estimation of Mineral Resources, limited metallurgical testwork, a conceptual mining study, and a study of dredging access from the Mozambique Channel to Inhambane Port, all of which feed into preliminary techno-economic modelling of the Project to assess its potential economic viability under a range of potential development scenarios.

HVY has noted that pending receipt of the Mozambique Approval, drill testing in Target B may reveal that it is warranted to extend drilling further north than indicated in Figure 6-1. HVY has not made particular budget allowances for this additional drilling. As is customary during exploration drilling, HVY has budgeted for sufficient drilling that, if warranted, priorities can be adjusted during the drilling program.

6.2 SRK comments

In summary, HVY has proposed a staged program of exploration for its Inhambane Project over a 2- year period following its listing on the ASX. HVY’s proposed funded programs focus on the compilation, verification and critical re-assessment of the historical exploration data in combination with aeromagnetic geophysical surveying as part of the Funded Works. Pending receipt of the Mozambique Approval, HVY has designed a further, as-yet unfunded works program for the assessment of defined targets through drill testing, assay and mineralogical assessment.

SRK has reviewed HVY’s exploration plan and budget and considers that while these will need to remain fluid and may change dependent on the results obtained, the Funded Works plan is appropriate and should be sufficient to provide a meaningful assessment of the Project’s prospectivity. Pending receipt of the Mozambique Approval, drill testing of the key targets can be completed, and the budget should be sufficient to fund this, as well as limited studies designed to advance the project status (i.e. limited metallurgical testwork, Resource estimation and the commencement of conceptual technoeconomic studies).

SRK considers HVY’s approach to be a prudent and allows for flexibility in the exploration program. The Further Works will allow for HVY to define any additional targets areas that warrant follow up exploration.

Should the planned exploration work be successful in outlining sufficient mineralisation to support a potential mining operating, then further work and additional budget will be required.

7 Conclusions and Recommendations

HVY’s Inhambane project tenements which are the subject of the IGR are located in the Inhambane district of southern Mozambique.

SRK has reviewed this estimate and while further work is required to investigate the continuity of this resource and determine if it can be upgraded to the Indicated and/or Measured category, and therefore used as the basis of advanced techno-economic studies, this estimate has been produced by a Competent Person as defined by the JORC Code and using industry standard techniques.

It is clear that in addition to upgrading the existing Mineral Resource, further exploration is also needed on other targets in the Exploration Licence, with the aim of delineating further Mineral Resources.

With this in mind, HVY has developed a staged 2-year Work Program to cater for timing of the Mozambique Approval process. The Funded Works are sufficient to potentially identify additional targets that warrant further exploration. Pending receipt of the Mozambique Approval, the Further Works includes a currently unfunded work schedule of both activities and expenditures, which comprises exploration of the licensed area as a whole, with a view to progressing the Project towards the initial techno-economic studies.

While the planned work will need to be regularly reviewed as results are obtained and changed, SRK considers the Work Plan to be appropriate and justified. The Funded Works are sufficient to potentially identify additional targets to those currently defined but which remain to be adequately tested. The Further Works budget of A$910,000, which currently remains unfunded pending receipt of the Mozambique Approval, is sufficient to enable the further upgrade of the Mineral Resource, conduct limited metallurgical testwork and commence initial techno-economic studies.

Criteria Explanation Comment
Sampling techniques Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random
chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement
tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as
down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc).
These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad
_meaning of sampling. _
The deposit was sampled using Reverse Circulation Air-Core (RCAC), top drive rotary
open hole.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample
representivity and the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.
An estimate was made of the approximate size of the samples expected based on the
drilling interval, the size of the drill rod and the split taken from the drill rig sampling
cyclone. The size of the split was in line with expectations.
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material
to the Public Report. In cases where ‘industry standard’ work
has been done this would be relatively simple (eg ‘reverse
circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which
3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’).
In other cases more explanation may be required, such as
where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling
problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg
submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed
information.
RCAC drilling was used to obtain a 1.5 to 2 m samples from which approximately 1.2-2.5
kg was collected using a Metzke Fixed Cone Splitter with Transition. The sample was then
split down to approximately 1 kg for transport back to Diamantina Laboratories in Perth,
Australia for assaying. The sample was then dried, de-slimed (material less than 45 µm
removed) and then oversize (material +2mm) was removed.
Approximately 100 g of the resultant sample was then subjected to a HM float/sink
technique using tetra-bromo-ethane (TBE: SG=2.92-2.96 gcm-3).
The resulting HM concentrate was then dried and weighed. Some of the HM concentrate
samples were grouped together to form mineral assemblage composite samples.
These mineral assemblage composite samples then were subjected to QEMSCAN
analysis.
Drilling techniques Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer,
rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core
diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-
sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so,
_by what method, etc). _
RCAC drilling accounts for 100% of the total drilling. All holes are drilled vertical with no
downhole surveying to confirm hole direction. The size of the drill rods used for the drilling
program was NQ.
Drill sample recovery Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample
recoveries and results assessed.
Drill sample recovery was considered to be quite good with sample weights as expected
(based on the size of the drill rods, sampling interval and split size). Ground conditions
were dry to damp and considered ideal for AC drilling in sand. Heavy groundwater flow
can adversely affect sand recovery and influence the preferential segregation of HM from
_quartz sand and clay. _
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure
representative nature of the samples.
Sampling on the drill rig was observed to ensure that the cyclone remained clean. The
cyclone was washed at the end of each hole and cleaned with hammering or scraping as
required.
Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and
grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to
preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.
The representivity of samples was checked by comparing the split weights of samples at
the beginning and ending of each drill rod (effectively the 1st half versus the 2nd half of the
rod). The original sample weights were not recorded, however cone and quartering was
carried out on samples recovered from the cyclone, which were then weighed. The split
samples therefore are representative of the original sample (considering the final split as
an equal subset ratio of the original sample).
The sample weights were analysed for each of the positions within the drill rod and those
results are presented in Figure 5.1. The 1st position is identified by label 1 and the 2nd
position identified by label 2.

Criteria Explanation Comment
There is a minor amount of bias between sample position 1 and sample position 2 however
it does tend to switch backwards and forwards and the overall weight differential between
the 2 sample positions is considered not significant enough to impact on sample
_representivity. _
Logging Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and
geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate
Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical
studies.
HML collected detailed qualitative logging of geological characteristics to allow a robust
geological interpretation to be carried out.
Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core
(or costean, channel, etc) photography.
Logging of RCAC samples recorded estimated slimes, washing, colour, lithology, dominant
grainsize, coarsest grainsize, sorting, induration type, hardness, estimated rock and
estimated HM.
The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections
logged.
All drill holes were logged in full and approximately 68% of samples were assayed and
used in the resource estimation exercise.
Sub-sampling
techniques and sample
preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all
core taken.
No core samples were taken due to the unconsolidated nature of the material being drilled
_and sampled as well as the disaggregationprocess during AC drilling. _
If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and
whether sampled wet or dry.
Samples were recovered from the cone splitter beneath the cyclone. Samples were then
transported to a core yard where they were subsequently dried, cone and quartered to a
smaller subsample more appropriate for transport back to Australia.
The final sample size was approximately 1 kg and considered to be appropriate compared
with thegrain size of the material being sampled.
For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness
of the samplepreparation technique.
Sample preparation is consistent with contemporary industry practices.
Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages
to maximise representivity of samples.
QA/QC in the form of laboratory and rig duplicates were used to monitor laboratory
performance. Laboratory and rig duplicates were submitted at the rate of approximately 1
in 40 each for a combined submission rate of one in 20. The rig duplicates were collected
from the sampling apparatus at the rate of approximately 1 every 40th interval sampled,
given the next sample number in sequence, then submitted for assay. Separate duplicate
samples were not collected during the cone andquartering after drying in Mozambique.
Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative
of the in situ material collected, including for instance results
for field duplicate/second-half sampling.
Analysis of sample duplicates was undertaken by standard geostatistical methodologies to
test for bias and to ensure that sample splitting was representative. Assay results of
samples and their field duplicates were compared and no systemic differences observed,
implying that bias had not been introduced by the cone splitter.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the
material being sampled.
Given that the grain size of the material being sampled is sand and approximately 70 to
300µm, an approximate sample size of 1 kg is more than adequate.
Quality of assay data
and laboratory tests
The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and
laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is
considered partial or total.
Assaying was carried out at Diamantina laboratory in Perth, a laboratory that specialises in
assay analysis for the mineral sand industry. Every 25th sample was duplicated in the
laboratory and a laboratory standard was inserted at a rate of 1 in 40. HM was separated
from light minerals by a sink/float process using TBE.
The sample analysis process produced the following assays:
-
HM > 45 μm, <2 mm, > 2.96 SG
-
_slime(‘SL’) < 45μm _

-
oversize (‘OS’) > 2 mm.
To maintain QA/QC, two duplicate assaying procedures were implemented.
Every 20th sample in the laboratory was split and both sub-samples processed through the
entire assaying procedure.
Two samples were collected at the rig at every 40th sample and subjected to the complete
assaying process. The laboratory was blind to these duplicates.
The HM mineralogy was determined by compositing HM concentrates (sinks) from the
same geological domain or ore zones in order to obtain sufficient HM on which to conduct
a mineralogical examination.
The mineralogy composites were selected based on the geological zones along and
between lines of drilling. This resulted in 3 samples being taken across entire deposit. One
from ZONE 3 and 2 from ZONE 5.
The HM from each sample was subjected to QEMSCAN analysis through the ALS
laboratory in Perth.
For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF
instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining the
analysis including instrument make and model, reading times,
calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc.
Not applicable
Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg standards,
blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether
acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision
have been established.
All assaying for the Inhambane deposit was carried out by Diamantina Laboratories.
Duplicate samples were submitted however blind field standards were not submitted by
HML as part of the drilling program at the Inhambane deposit.
Verification of sampling
and assaying
The verification of significant intersections by either
independent or alternative company personnel.
Verification of intersections was limited to checking for variance between logged estimates
of grade and the assayed grades. No significant variances were identified that warranted
_any re-assay. _
The use of twinned holes. No holes were twinned during the drilling program.
Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data
verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols.
Data collected by HML was entered digitally in the field and uploaded to Microsoft Access
and managed as a database.
Discuss any adjustment to assay data. Minor adjustments to assay data was made prior to model interpolation, including setting of
absent data to half the value of assay threshold values. No obvious outliers were identified
during data analysis.
Location of data points Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes
(collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and
other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation.
HML surveyed drill holes by differential global positioning system (DGPS).
Specification of the grid system used. The grid system used is the Moznet spheroid and the grid is UTM Zone 36 South).
Modelling was conducted in a rotated local minegrid.
Quality and adequacy of topographic control. Topographic control was inadequate from available satellite tomography and so drill hole
collars which had been surveyed in via DGPS were used instead.
Data spacing and
distribution
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.
Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to
establish the degree of geological and grade continuity
Based on the experience of GNJ Consulting the data spacing and distribution through the
drill hole programs Is considered adequate for the assigned Mineral Resource

estimationprocedure(s) and classifications applied.
classifications. Holes were drilled at approximately 250 m across Inferred strike of
mineralisation and 500 m along strike.
Whether sample compositing has been applied. No sample compositing or de-compositing has been applied. The majority of sampling was
taken on 1.5 m intervals with minor 2 m intervals.
Orientation of data in
relation to geological
structure
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased
sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is
known, considering the deposit type.
Sample orientation is vertical and approximately perpendicular to the dip and strike of the
mineralisation resulting in true thickness estimates. Drilling and sampling is carried out on a
regular rectangulargrid that is broadly aligned to the strike of the orebody mineralisation.
If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the
orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have
introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and
reported if material.
No bias caused by orientation of drill holes anticipated from drilling vertical holes into a
mineral sands deposit.
Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample security. All samples are numbered, with samples split and residues stored along with HM sinks.
Samples were collected from the cyclone on the drill rig and collected into numbered bags
for transport back to the core yard for drying and sub splitting. Residual sample was
retained on-site and the sub split sample for assay was re-bagged, sealed in packaging
materials for transport back to Australia. The uppermost 2 m of each drill hole was bagged
and transported in a separate batch to be processed through quarantine as per Australian
International Quarantine Regulations for soil samples. This was done to minimise the cost
of having approximately 1.6 t of sample go through quarantine and a treatment process.
The samples that bypassed the quarantine process were transported directly to Diamantina
Laboratories for checking in and subsequent assay. Quarantine samples were transported
directly to Intertek for quarantine treatment and from there couriered to Diamantina for
_assaying. _
Audits or reviews The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques
and data.
There are no existing audits or reviews. This represents the maiden resource estimate for
the Inhambaneproject.
Mineral tenement and
land tenure status
Type, reference name/number, location and ownership
including agreements or material issues with third parties such
as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title
interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and
environmental settings.
The resource lies within the granted exploration licence 4658L. Tenure is 100% owned by
Mozambique Company +258 of which HML owns 70%. Subsequent to drilling_a_mining
concession was applied for, 10255C which covers an area of 183.55 km2. As a
consequence of the change in tenure size and movement in tenure boundary the
southernmost portion of the resource and one line of drilling has been cut out of the current
tenement. A subsequent re-application of tenure to has been made to amalgamate new
vacantground into the mining concession application.
The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along
with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate
in the area.
At the time of reporting all tenure was secure and any administrative costs or fees were
fully paid up.
Exploration done by
otherparties
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. Previous tenement holders in the area, Rio Tinto, conducted hand auger drilling over the
southern half of the 4658L tenement.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. The deposit style is a combination of dunal and fluvial/marine sediments. HM
accumulations arepreserved throughout the stratigraphic sequence.

Criteria Explanation Comment
Drill hole Information A summary of all information material to the understanding of
the exploration results including a tabulation of the following
information for all Material drill holes:
-
easting and northing of the drill hole collar
-
elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level
in metres) of the drill hole collar
-
dip and azimuth of the hole
-
down hole length and interception depth
-
hole length.
If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that
the information is not Material and this exclusion does not
detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent
Person should clearly explain why this is the case.
There are a number of drill holes that have a modest contribution to the overall HM
tonnage of the deposit mineralisation (the top 25% of holes with contributions of length
times HM grade are listed as follows - IN0003R, IN0007, IN0022, IN0023, IN0026, IN0030,
IN0031, IN0036, IN0038.
Other drill hole results contribute to the identification of the wide and thick zone of
mineralisation via multiple intersections of drill holes. The composited drill hole listing is
presented in Appendix 1.
Data aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging
techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg
cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material
and should be stated.
No grade cutting was undertaken, nor compositing or aggregation of grades made prior or
post the grade interpolation into the block model. Selection of the bottom basal contacts of
the mineralised domains were made based on discrete logging and grade information
collected and assayed by HML.
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high
grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the
procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and
some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown
in detail.
Not applicable - all samples are 1.5 m long, except the first sample below ground surface
which was 2 m long.
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent
values should be clearly stated.
No metal equivalents were used for reporting of Mineral Resources.
Relationship between
mineralisation widths
and intercept lengths
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting
of Exploration Results.
All drill holes are vertical and perpendicular to the dip and strike of mineralisation and
therefore all interceptions are approximately true thickness.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill
hole angle is known, its nature should be reported.
Drill holes are inferred to intersect the mineralisation approximately perpendicularly.
If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported,
there should be a clear statement to this effect (eg ‘down hole
_length, true width not known’). _
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of
intercepts should be included for any significant discovery
being reported These should include, but not be limited to a
plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional
views.
Refer to Appendix 1 and main body of report.
Balanced reporting Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is
not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high
grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading
reporting of Exploration Results.
Reporting of results is restricted to Mineral Resource estimates generated from geological
and grade block modelling.

Other substantive
exploration data
Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be
reported including (but not limited to): geological observations;
geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk
samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test
results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock
characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating
substances.
Samples of HM to be determined for mineral assemblage were created by compositing HM
sink fractions from drill hole samples interpreted to have intersected the same geological
horizon and mineralisation, and for which viewing of the HM sinks suggested similar
assemblage grades.
Samples have not yet been tested for in situ density.
Further work The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for
lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out
_drilling). _
Further work via infill mineral assemblage composite sampling is recommended in order to
further the confidence in the current Inferred Mineral Resource.
Exploration by geophysical and drilling isplanned on otherparts of the tenement.

Criteria Explanation Comment
Database integrity Measures taken to ensure that data has not been corrupted by,
for example, transcription or keying errors, between its initial
collection and its use for Mineral Resource estimation
purposes.
The surveying, logging and assay data is stored in a Microsoft Access database.
The drill logs were recorded electronically at the rig for the HML drilling program, and the
hole locations recorded by hand-held GPS at the time of drilling.
Each field of the drill log database was verified against allowable entries and any keying
errors corrected at the time by the logger.
At the completion of each hole, an entry was made to a hand-written drilling diary. The
diary recorded the hole name, date, depth, number of samples, time of start and finish, a
description of the location of the hole in relation to the last hole and other things. Such a
diary provides valuable evidence if there is an error in hole naming or surveying.
Data validationprocedures used. Visual and statistical comparison was undertaken to check the validity of results.
Site visits Comment on any site visits undertaken by the Competent
Person and the outcome of those visits.
If no site visits have been undertaken indicate why this is the
case.
No site visit was undertaken by the GNJ Consulting during the modelling exercise as they
are familiar with the deposit and style of mineralisation. Mr Paul Leandri supervised the
drilling and sampling activities for the duration of theprogram.
Geological
interpretation
Confidence in (or conversely, the uncertainty of) the geological
interpretation of the mineral deposit.
The geological interpretation was undertaken by GNJ Consulting using all logging and
sampling data and observations. The geological interpretation is inferred due to the wide
spaced drilling, however the geological characteristics of the host units is consistent and
traceable between holes both across and along the inferred strike of the mineralisation.
Nature of the data used and of any assumptions made. Interpretation of geological surfaces or domains to be used in block modelling were
determined utilising HM sinks and geology logging.

Criteria Explanation Comment
The effect, if any, of alternative interpretations on Mineral
Resource estimation.
Any alternative geological interpretations would necessitate a reassignment of mineral
composite ID (for mineral assemblage testwork). These are carefully selected to align with
discrete geological domains and a re-assignment of those domain boundaries would
require new mineral composites to be assayed or for those composite ID’s to be removed
from the interpolation.
An alternative interpretation would entail preparing tighter mineralised envelopes in order to
constrain grade above a certain cut-off. At this stage of the resource estimation confidence
this is not considered a valid approach.
The use of geology in guiding and controlling Mineral
Resource estimation.
The Mineral Resource estimate was controlled by the geological / mineralised surfaces and
beneath the topographic surface.
The factors affecting continuity both of grade and geology. The Inhambane deposit sits within a number of dune and fluvial/marine depositional
settings. A washout has been interpreted to have removed mineralisation in the area of
drill hole IN0009 (which did not intersect mineralisation recorded from holes immediately to
the east and west.
Dimensions The extent and variability of the Mineral Resource expressed
as length (along strike or otherwise), plan width, and depth
below surface to the upper and lower limits of the Mineral
Resource.
The Mineral Resource reported is within the portion of the Inhambane tenement drilled by
HML to date (10255C Mining Concession application), and extends for approximately
2.3 km long, 2 km wide and approximately 25 to 35 m thick on average. Mineralisation is
present from surface over a large portion of the deposit, although should be qualified by
saying that mineralisation above the 2% HM cut-off grade was only intersected in 5 holes.
A total of 36 of the 41 holes drilled contained drill hole intercepts above cut-off grade. The
average composite length per drill hole above the HM cut-off grade was 8.2 m with a
minimum of 1.5 m and a maximum of 29 m.
Estimation and
modelling techniques
The nature and appropriateness of the estimation technique(s)
applied and key assumptions, including treatment of extreme
grade values, domaining, interpolation parameters and
maximum distance of extrapolation from data points. If a
computer assisted estimation method was chosen include a
description of computer software and parameters used.
The mineral resource estimate was conducted using CAE Mining software (Datamine).
Inverse distance weighting techniques were used to interpolate assay grades from drill hole
samples into the block model and nearest neighbour techniques were used to interpolate
index values and nonnumeric sample identification into the block model.
The regular dimensions of the drill grid and the anisotropy of the drilling and sampling grid
allowed for the use of inverse distance methodologies as no de-clustering of samples was
required.
Appropriate and industry standard search ellipses were used to search for data for the
interpolation and suitable limitations on the number of samples and the impact of those
samples was maintained. An inverse distance weighting to the power of 3 was used so as
not to over smooth the grade interpolations.
Hard domain boundaries were used and these were defined by the geological surfaces that
were interpreted, however a moving or dynamic search ellipse was used to account for
variations in the dip, trend andplunge of mineralisation.
The availability of check estimates, previous estimates and/or
mine production records and whether the Mineral Resource
estimate takes appropriate account of such data.
This was the maiden mineral resource estimate carried out for the Inhambane project.
The assumptions made regarding recovery of by-products. No assumptions were made during the resource estimation as to the recovery of by-
products.

Estimation of deleterious elements or other non-grade
variables of economic significance (eg sulphur for acid mine
_drainage characterisation). _
All potentially deleterious elements were included as part of the mineral composite analysis
and were included in the modelling report.
In the case of block model interpolation, the block size in
relation to the average sample spacing and the search
employed.
For the Inhambane deposit the average parent cell size used was approximately half that
for the average drill hole spacing in the north-south and east-west directions (which was
500 m x 250 m x 1.5 m) and the same as the dominant sample spacing down hole. This
resulted in aparent cell size of 250 m x 125 m x 1.5 m.
Any assumptions behind modelling of selective mining units. No assumptions were made regarding the modelling of selective mining units however it is
assumed that a form of dry mining will be undertaken and the cell size and the sub cell
splitting will allow for an appropriate dry mining ore reserve to be prepared. Any other
mining methodology will be more than adequately catered for with the parent cell size that
was selected for the modelling exercise for the deposit.
Any assumptions about correlation between variables. No assumptions were made about correlation between variables.
Description of how the geological interpretation was used to
control the resource estimates.
The Mineral Resource estimate was controlled to an extent by the geological/mineralisation
and basement surfaces.
Discussion of basis for using or not using grade cutting or
capping.
Grade cutting or capping was not used during the interpolation because of the regular
nature of sample spacing and the fact that samples were not clustered nor wide spaced to
an extent where elevated samples could have a deleterious impact on the resource
estimation.
Sample distributions were reviewed and no extreme outliers were identified either high or
_low that necessitated any grade cutting or capping. _
The process of validation, the checking process used, the
comparison of model data to drill hole data, and use of
reconciliation data if available.
Validation of grade interpolations were done visually In CAE Studio (Datamine) software by
loading model and drill hole files and annotating and colouring and using filtering to check
for the appropriateness of interpolations.
Statistical distributions were prepared for model zones from both drill holes and the model
to compare the effectiveness of the interpolation. Along strike distributions of section line
averages (swath plots) for drill holes and models were also prepared for comparison
purposes.
Moisture Whether the tonnages are estimated on a dry basis or with
natural moisture, and the method of determination of the
moisture content.
Tonnages were estimated an assumed dry basis. This is based on estimates for in situ bulk
density for quartz sand (1.6 gcm-3) and the contributions of weight from HM and SLIMES to
a typical bulk density algorithm. A bulk density of 1.7 gcm-3 was selected and is consistent
_with other estimates used throughout the mineral sands industry. _
Cut-off parameters The basis of the adopted cut-off grade(s) or quality parameters
applied.
Cut-off grades for HM were used to prepare the reported resource estimate. These cut-off
grades were defined by GNJ Consulting as being conservative for typical comparative
example deposits and mineralogy suites.
Mining factors or
assumptions
Assumptions made regarding possible mining methods,
minimum mining dimensions and internal (or, if applicable,
external) mining dilution. It is always necessary as part of the
process of determining reasonable prospects for eventual
economic extraction to consider potential mining methods, but
the assumptions made regarding mining methods and
No specific mining method is assumed other than potentially the use of dry mining via
dozer trap. This allows for a moderately selective mining process while still maintaining
bulk economies of scale. A minimum thickness was assumed for the reporting of the
mineral resource as being 2 m for continuity of pits (less than 0.5% of the contained HM t)
and 90% of the HM tonnage is hosted by 8 m thickness or greater.

parameters when estimating Mineral Resources may not
always be rigorous. Where this is the case, this should be
reported with an explanation of the basis of the mining
assumptions made.
Given the thickness of the Inhambane prospect (average of 14 m) this is not considered to
be an issue for dozer trap or any other contemporary dry mining technique. A lower cut-off
grade would allow for more material to be mined, leading to thicker mining sequences and
a lower stripping ratio.
Reasonable mining and processing costs, mineral prices and mineral recoveries were
considered for reasonable prospects of eventual economic extraction. These are detailed
in Section 9.1.
Metallurgical factors or
assumptions
The basis for assumptions or predictions regarding
metallurgical amenability. It is always necessary as part of the
process of determining reasonable prospects for eventual
economic extraction to consider potential metallurgical
methods, but the assumptions regarding metallurgical
treatment processes and parameters made when reporting
Mineral Resources may not always be rigorous. Where this is
the case, this should be reported with an explanation of the
basis of the metallurgical assumptions made.
No metallurgical assumptions were used in the preparation of the Mineral Resource. All of
the grade values of the mineral assemblage are considered to be within acceptable limits
for economic exploitation.
For consideration of reasonable prospects of eventual economic extraction, a range of
recoveries for mineral species was considered and these are detailed in Section 9.1
Environmental factors
or assumptions
Assumptions made regarding possible waste and process
residue disposal options. It is always necessary as part of the
process of determining reasonable prospects for eventual
economic extraction to consider the potential environmental
impacts of the mining and processing operation. While at this
stage the determination of potential environmental impacts,
particularly for a greenfields project, may not always be well
advanced, the status of early consideration of these potential
environmental impacts should be reported. Where these
aspects have not been considered this should be reported with
an explanation of the environmental assumptions made.
No assumptions have been made regarding possible waste and process residue however
disposal of by-products such as SL, sand and oversize are normally part of capture and
disposal back into the mining void for eventual rehabilitation. This also applies to mineral
products recovered and waste products recovered from metallurgical processing of HM.
Bulk density Whether assumed or determined. If assumed, the basis for the
assumptions. If determined, the method used, whether wet or
dry, the frequency of the measurements, the nature, size and
representativeness of the samples.
A bulk density of 1.7 gcm-3 was selected and is consistent with other estimates used
throughout the mineral sands industry. This was considered by GNJ Consulting to be a
conservative approach.
The bulk density for bulk material must have been measured
by methods that adequately account for void spaces (vugs,
porosity, etc), moisture and differences between rock and
alteration zones within the deposit.
No measurements of density of in situ materials have yet been acquired.
Discuss assumptions for bulk density estimates used in the
evaluationprocess of the different materials.
A bulk density of 1.7 gcm-3 was selected and is consistent with other estimates used
throughout the mineral sands industry.
Classification The basis for the classification of the Mineral Resources into
varying confidence categories.
The resource classification for the Inhambane deposit was based on the following criteria:
drill hole spacing; the quality of QA/QC processes; and the distribution of mineral
assemblage composites.

Criteria Explanation Comment
All the estimated mineralisation above the cut-off criterion has been classified as Inferred
Resources because there is information to infer there is mineralisation of the tenor
estimated, but that information is insufficient to ascribe a higher level of confidence to the
estimates.
Whether appropriate account has been taken of all relevant
factors (ie relative confidence in tonnage/grade estimations,
reliability of input data, confidence in continuity of geology and
_metal values, quality, quantity and distribution of the data). _
The classification of the Inferred Mineral Resources for the Inhambane deposit were
supported by all of the criteria as noted above.
Whether the result appropriately reflects the Competent
Person’s view of the deposit.
As a Competent Person, GNJ Consulting Principal Greg Jones considers that the result
appropriately reflects a reasonable view of the deposit categorisation.
Audits or reviews The results of any audits or reviews of Mineral Resource
estimates.
No audits or reviews of the new Mineral Resource estimate for the Inhambane deposit has
been undertaken at thispoint in time.
Discussion of relative
accuracy/confidence
Where appropriate a statement of the relative accuracy and
confidence level in the Mineral Resource estimate using an
approach or procedure deemed appropriate by the Competent
Person. For example, the application of statistical or
geostatistical procedures to quantify the relative accuracy of
the resource within stated confidence limits, or, if such an
approach is not deemed appropriate, a qualitative discussion
of the factors that could affect the relative accuracy and
confidence of the estimate.
There was no geostatistical process undertaken for the interpolation (such as variography
or conditional simulation) during the resource estimation of the Inhambane deposit.
The statement should specify whether it relates to global or
local estimates, and, if local, state the relevant tonnages,
which should be relevant to technical and economic
evaluation. Documentation should include assumptions made
and theprocedures used.
The broad spacing of drill holes and method of creating the resource model imply the
estimates of Mineral Resources are global rather than local.
These statements of relative accuracy and confidence of the
estimate should be compared with production data, where
available.
No previous history of mining mineral sands with the tenement.
