A summary of the agreed non-binding terms of the Transaction are provided below under “Transaction Summary”.
Transaction Rationale
The Transaction establishes the conditions to create a new gold and copper producer located in the southern Goldfields of Western Australia (Figure 1). By bringing together the Company’s Ravensthorpe Gold Project ( RGP ) Mineral Resources of 1.5 Moz AuEq @ 2.5 g/t AuEq[4] , together with the established infrastructure at FNO, a rapid and low capital intensity pathway to ~ 70kozpa AuEq production profile is enabled, as evidenced by the results of the Scoping Study ( Study ) completed in December 2024[5] .
The Study assessed mining RGP Mineral Resources with processing of that material at FNO ( Project ). The Study results confirm the Project as a technically and commercially robust development opportunity, generating strong cashflows and offering returns on investment which are attractive relative to the risks identified through the Study process.
Study outcomes are summarised below. All figures presented are approximate. All dollars are Australian Dollars ($) unless stated otherwise.
Study Highlights:
-
Initial production inventory of 2.7Mt @ 3.9 g/t Au & 0.6 % Cu for 342 koz Au & 16 kt Cu contained
-
Total initial metal production of 336 koz Au & 13 kt Cu
-
Mine life 5.5 years generating pre-tax cashflows averaging $90 million per annum under base case assumptions
-
Pre-tax free cash flow of $498 million assuming A$3,615/oz Au, A$5.54/lb Cu (base case)
-
Pre-tax free cash flow of $637 million assuming A$4,000/oz Au, A$6.15/lb Cu (spot)
-
Forecast average All-In-Sustaining-Cost (AISC) of A$1,845/oz of Au produced (net of by-product credit)
-
Total pre-production capital cost of $73 million inclusive of mine establishment and process plant modifications
-
• Pre-tax NPV10 of $329 million & IRR 129% (base case)
-
Pre-tax NPV10 of $429 million & IRR 169% (based on the spot price at the time of the Study release of A$4000/oz)
-
• Payback period: 12 months (base case), 9 months (spot)
-
Establishment of proven & industry standard process route of gravity-flotation-CIL (Deflector analogy) at Forrestania to deliver high gold recovery (98%) and copper recovery (80%) to saleable products over the Project life
-
Significant potential to enhance Project returns through increased throughput rate and mine life extension
Potential Upside Drivers:
-
RGP Mineral Resource conversion and extensions (15km drill program almost completed);
oInitial production inventory represents 44% of existing sulphide Mineral Resource (gold content) -
Deposit shallowly drilled, Mineral Resource extends to 330 metres, deepest hole 415 metres below surface
-
Commercialisation of RGP oxide/transitional Mineral Resources (10.3 Mt @ 1.6 g/t Au for 520 koz Au)), Trilogy deposit Mineral Resources (5.6 Mt @ 0.9 g/t Au, 54.4 g/t Ag, 1.2 % Cu, 2.4 % Pb, 1.4 % Zn)[6]
-
Redeployment of surplus mine infrastructure at Forrestania to Ravensthorpe to reduce pre-production capital
-
Ability to commercialise gold deposits within economic trucking distance of Cosmic Boy
It was a conclusion of the Study that bringing RGP Mineral Resources together with the established infrastructure at FNO presents a strong investment case under base case assumptions. This conclusion is even more compelling under the current spot gold price environment. Multiple opportunities exist to enhance that investment case by advancing the growth initiatives articulated. Strategically, the establishment of gold processing infrastructure at FNO has the potential to unlock value from gold deposits located within trucking distance of Cosmic Boy. In an elevated Australian dollar gold price environment, the combination of KMC and FNO is a unique, low capital intensity, near term gold-copper development opportunity within Western Australia with multiple organic and inorganic growth pathways.

To the extent permitted by law, the parties can waive any of the CPs by mutual written agreement. To the extent any CP is waived and the parties proceed to Completion, it may on such conditions as the parties agree which may include a requirement that the relevant party continues to seek to satisfy the CPs that were waived as soon as possible after Completion.
If the CPs are not satisfied or waived by the relevant Sunset Date (or such later date as the parties agree) then either party may terminate the agreement by notice.
If the Agreement is terminated prior to Completion other than due to a default of IGO, a break fee ( Break Fee ) will be payable by Medallion to IGO. The Break Fee amount will accrue over time and will be calculated as follows:
a) for the first four full calendar months following execution of the Agreement, 50% of Direct Project Costs, and b) after four full calendar months and until termination of the Agreement, 100% of Direct Project Costs. The Direct Project Costs means all costs incurred by IGO associated with maintaining the Assets, including all statutory outgoings and expenses in respect of the Tenements.
The Sunset Date for the waiver or satisfaction of the execution of the full-form Mineral Sharing Agreement, Royalty Agreement and, to the extent not including in the Mineral Sharing Agreement, the Access Agreement is the date that is 3 months from the execution of the Agreement. The Sunset Date for the remaining CPs is 12 December 2025. If any of the CPs are not waived or satisfied by the relevant Sunset Date, Medallion and IGO can mutually agree an extension of the Sunset Date, on such terms as are agreed between them.
Next Steps
Medallion is now diligently working toward finalisation of the Agreement and ancillary documents. In addition, work is already significantly advanced as it relates to satisfaction of the CPs to Completion. Key work streams include the BFS, progressing Project approvals and arranging finance.
The Company has completed approximately 15,000 metres of combined RC and Diamond drilling of a planned 17,000 metre in-fill drill program to improve confidence in the mine plan. Upon completion of this drilling and receipt of assays, Mineral Resources will be re-estimated at the Kundip Mining Centre. The updated Mineral Resource Estimate ( MRE ) will form the basis of the BFS.
Medallion expects to appoint new additions to the senior management team to prepare in advance for a requirement to assume control of the Assets that are the subject of the proposed Transaction. The remainder of calendar 2025 is expected to have strong positive news flow as drill results continue to be reported and the Company advances toward FID and Completion.

REPORTING OF GOLD EQUIVALENT GRADES
Gold Equivalent (AuEq) grades that are applied as cut-off criteria and reported for the resource were calculated using the following formula: AuEq g/t = Au g/t + (Cu % × 1.61) + (Ag g/t × 0.01). Cu equivalence to Au was determined using the following formula: 1.61 = (Cu price x 1% per tonne x Cu recovery) / (Au price x 1 gram per tonne x Au recovery). Ag equivalence to Au was determined using the following formula: 0.01 = (Ag price x 1 gram per tonne x Ag recovery) / (Au price x 1 gram per tonne x Au recovery). Metal prices applied in the calculation were: Au = 2,946 AUD per ounce, Cu = 16,768 AUD per tonne, Ag = 42 AUD per ounce. Metallurgical recoveries applied were: Au = 94.6%, Cu = 86.1%, Ag = 73.3%.

The preceding statement of Mineral Resources conforms to the JORC Code. All tonnages are dry metric tonnes. Minor discrepancies may occur due to rounding to appropriate significant figures.
The Trilogy Mineral Resource is reported above a copper equivalent (Cu_Eq %) reporting cut-off grade due to the polymetallic nature of the mineralisation and the differing orientations and spatial relationships between the elements. The following prices (Australian dollars) were used in the calculation of the Cu_Eq %: copper - $9,000/t, gold - $1,800/oz, silver - $25/oz, zinc - $4,800/t, lead - $3,500/t. These figures have been used to calculate two Cu_Eq %, the first for the oxidised component of the deposit which is dominated by copper, gold and silver mineralisation. The formula for the oxide is: Cu_Eq % (oxide) = (Cu_ppm + (6,430Au_ppm) + (90Ag_ppm))/10000, and for the mineralisation in the transitional and fresh material, the Cu_Eq % calculation is: Cu_Eq % (sulph) = (Cu_ppm + (6,430Au_ppm) + (90Ag_ppm) + (0.533Zn_ppm) + (0.388Pb_ppm))/10000. It is noted that whilst the Cu_Eq values were calculated inside the block model to assist with reporting the Mineral Resource, they are a conceptual reporting tool only, and do not yet represent a metal equivalent in the conventional sense. The calculation is disclosed for transparency in accordance with Clause 50 of the JORC Code, and the reader is cautioned that the calculated number is internal to the block model reporting processes only.

Table 1: Key Study Outcomes & Assumptions
Notes:
1: Life of Mine (LOM) is calculated as the period of time the processing plant is in operation.
2: All-In Sustaining Costs (AISC) and All-In Costs (AIC) are premised upon the World Gold Council guidance note issued in 2013 (as amended). AISC is presented net of by-product credits (Cu & Ag) and includes all onsite costs associated with mining, processing and administration, royalties and sustaining capital. AIC includes AISC, pre-production capital, non-sustaining capital and rehabilitation. 3. Approximate spot pricing of Au, Ag, Cu and foreign exchange as at the finalisation date of the Study.
