3. Resolution 1 – Ratification of issue of Placement Shares
3.1 General
On 6 February 2026, the Company announced that it had received firm commitments for a placement to raise approximately $7 million (before costs) ( Placement ).
The Placement is comprised of the following two tranches:
-
(a) Tranche 1 : the issue of 38,472,223 Shares ( Placement Shares ), comprising:
-
(i) 23,068,830 Placement Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
(ii) 15,403,393 Placement Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1A;
-
(b) Tranche 2 : the issue of up to 527,778 Shares ( Director Placement Shares ) to Directors Luke Reinehr, Graeme Sloan and Paul Adams (the Participating Directors ), subject to receipt of Shareholder approval (the subject of Resolution 2(a) to (c) (inclusive)).
On 17 February 2026, the Company issued the Placement Shares without prior Shareholder approval using the Company’s available placement capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. The Company confirms that the issue of the Placement Shares did not breach Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.1A at the time of the agreement to issue the Placement Shares.
Argonaut Securities Pty Limited acted as sole lead manager, broker and bookrunner to the Placement ( Lead Manager ). Subject to Shareholder approval, as partial consideration for the provision of the lead managerial, broker and bookrunner services in connection with the Placement, the Company has agreed to issue the Lead Manager (or its nominee/s) up to 5,000,000 Options on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 2 ( Broker Options ), the subject of Resolution 3. A summary of the Lead Manager Mandate is set out in Section 5.2 below.
Resolution 1(a) and Resolution 1(b) seek the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the Placement Shares.
3.2 Listing Rules 7.1, 7.1A and 7.4
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase the 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1 by an additional 10% to 25%. The Company obtained this approval at its 2025 annual general meeting held on 12 November 2025.
The issue of the Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A and, as it had not yet been approved by Shareholders, effectively uses up part of the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A. This reduces the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under those Listing Rules for the 12-month period following the issue of the Placement Shares.
Listing Rule 7.4 provides an exception to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. It provides that where a company in a general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rules
Page 7
7.1 and 7.1A), those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A.
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 1(a) and Resolution 1(b) will be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1 and the 10% additional placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1A, without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 1(a) is passed, 23,068,830 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.
If Resolution 1(a) is not passed, 23,068,830 Placement Shares will continue to be included in the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 23,068,830 Equity Securities for the 12-month period following the issue of those Placement Shares.
If Resolution 1(b) is passed, 15,403,393 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.
If Resolution 1(b) is not passed, 15,403,393 Placement Shares will continue to be included in the Company’s 10% limit under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 15,403,393 Equity Securities for the 12-month period following the issue of those Placement Shares.
3.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the ratification of the issue of the Placement Shares:
-
(a) The Placement Shares were issued to a range of sophisticated and institutional investors, none of whom is a related party or a Material Investor of the Company. The participants in the Placement were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved the Lead Manager seeking expressions of interest to participate in the Placement from new and existing contacts of the Company and Lead Manager.
-
(b) A total of 38,472,223 Placement Shares were issued using the Company’s available placement capacity in the following proportions:
-
(i) 23,068,830 Placement Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
(ii) 15,403,393 Placement Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.
-
(c) The Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares on issue.
-
(d) The Placement Shares were issued on 17 February 2026 at an issue price of $0.18 each.
-
(e) The proceeds from the issue of the Placement Shares have been and will continue to be used towards:
Page 8
-
(i) progressing ongoing exploration programs at the Marble Bar Gold Project and Higginsville Lithium Project, including drilling and associated technical work; and
-
(ii) general working capital.
-
(f) There are no other material terms to the issue of the Placement Shares.
-
(g) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
3.4 Additional information
Resolution 1(a) and Resolution 1(b) are each separate ordinary resolutions.
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1(a) and Resolution 1(b).
4. Resolution 2 – Approval to issue Director Placement Shares
4.1 General
The background to the proposed issue of the Director Placement Shares is set out in Section 3.1 above.
The Company has received firm commitments from the Participating Directors to participate in the Placement on the same terms as unrelated parties, as follows:
| Participating Director | Amount committed to the Placement ($) |
Director Placement Shares |
|---|---|---|
| Luke Reinehr | $20,000 | 111,111 |
| Graeme Sloan | $25,000 | 138,889 |
| Paul Adams | $50,000 | 277,778 |
| Total | $95,000 | 527,778 |
Resolution 2(a) to (c) (inclusive) seek Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of the Director Placement Shares in the proportions set out above.
4.2 Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue Equity Securities to any of the following persons without the approval of Shareholders:
-
(a) a related party (Listing Rule 10.11.1);
-
(b) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (30%+) in the company (Listing Rule 10.11.2);
-
(c) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (10%+) in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so (Listing Rule 10.11.3);
-
(d) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3 (Listing Rule 10.11.4); or
Page 9
- (e) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.11.1 or 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders (Listing Rule 10.11.5).
The Participating Directors are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors. Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 is therefore required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Board that the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.
Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Director Placement Shares as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of these Director Placement Shares to the Participating Directors (or their respective nominee/s) will not be included in the Company’s 15% placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 2(a) to (c) (inclusive) will be to allow the Company to issue the Director Placement Shares and receive the $95,000 (before costs) committed by the Participating Directors.
If Resolution 2(a) to (c) (inclusive) are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Placement Shares and will not receive the additional funds committed by the Participating Directors.
Resolution 2(a) to (c) (inclusive) are not conditional on each other and Shareholders may approve one or all of these Resolutions (in which case, the Director Placement Shares the subject of the approved Resolution(s) will be issued), even though Shareholders have not approved all of these Resolutions.
4.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.13
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Director Placement Shares:
-
(a) The Director Placement Shares will be issued to the Participating Directors (or their respective nominee/s), in the proportions set out in Section 4.1 above.
-
(b) Each of the Participating Directors fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.1. In the event the Director Placement Shares are issued to a nominee of a Participating Director, that nominee will fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.4.
-
(c) A maximum of 527,778 Director Placement Shares will be issued to the Participating Directors (or their respective nominee/s), in the proportions set out in Section 4.1 above.
-
(d) The Director Placement Shares will be full paid and rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares on issue.
-
(e) The Director Placement Shares will be issued no later than one (1) month after the date of the Meeting.
-
(f) The Director Placement Shares will be issued at a price of $0.18 each, being the same issue price at which the Placement Shares were issued.
-
(g) The proceeds from the issue of the Director Placement Shares are intended to be used in the same manner as the proceeds from the Placement Shares, as set out in Section 3.3(e) above.
-
(h) The proposed issue of the Director Placement Shares is not intended to remunerate or incentivise the Participating Directors.
Page 10
-
(i) There are no other material terms to the proposed issue of the Director Placement Shares.
-
(j) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
4.4 Section 195 of the Corporations Act
Section 195(1) of the Corporations Act prohibits a director of a public company who has a material personal interest in a matter that is being considered at a meeting of directors from being present while the matter is being considered at the meeting or voting on the matter. If there is not a quorum of directors who are eligible to vote on a matter because of the operation of section 195(1) of the Corporations Act, one or more directors may call a general meeting and the general meeting may deal with the matter.
Each of the Participating Directors have a personal interest in the outcome of each of their respective Resolution under Resolution 2(a) to (c) (inclusive) and, as a result of a quorum of Directors not being achieved, have exercised their right under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act to put the issue of the Director Placement Shares to the Participating Directors to Shareholders to resolve.
4.5 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
In accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, in order to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must:
-
(a) obtain Shareholder approval in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act;
-
(b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The proposed issue of the Director Placement Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit to related parties of the Company.
The Board considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Director Placement Shares because the Director Placement Shares will be issued on the same terms as those Shares issued to non-related party participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
4.6 Additional information
Resolution 2(a) to (c) (inclusive) are each separate ordinary resolutions.
Simon Coyle, being the only director without a personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 2(a) to (c) (inclusive), recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2(a) to Resolution 2(c) (inclusive).
5.
Resolution 3 – Approval to issue Broker Options
5.1
General
The background to the Placement, including the proposed issue of the Broker Options to the Lead Manager (or its nominee/s), is set out in Section 3.1 above.
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Broker Options to the Lead Manager (or its nominee/s).
Page 11
5.2 Summary of material terms of the Lead Manager Mandate
The Company entered into a mandate with the Lead Manager for the provision of lead managerial, broker and bookrunner services in respect of the Placement ( Lead Manager Mandate ).
Pursuant to the Lead Manager Mandate, the Company has agreed to pay the Lead Manager the following fees:
-
(a) a management fee of 2.0% of the gross amount raised under the Placement;
-
(b) a selling fee of 4.0% of the gross amount raised under the Placement, excluding funds raised from the chairman’s list; and
-
(c) the Broker Options.
The Lead Manager Mandate contains additional provisions, including warranties and indemnities in respect of the Company, which are considered standard for agreements of this nature.
5.3 Listing Rule 7.1
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is in Section 3.2 above.
The proposed issue of the Broker Options does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Broker Options.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Broker Options and will have to consider alternative commercial means to pay the Lead Manager for its services, which may include a cash payment equivalent to the value of the Broker Options.
5.4 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Broker Options:
-
(a) The Broker Options will be issued to the Lead Manager (or its nominee/s), none of whom is a related party or a Material Investor of the Company.

-

6.3 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4
A summary of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4 is in Section 3.2 above.
The agreement to issue the SQM Consideration Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not been approved by Shareholders, effectively uses up part of the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. This will reduce the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder
Page 13
approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following the entry into the agreement for the issue of the SQM Consideration Shares.
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 4 will be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1, without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 4 is passed, 816,713SQM Consideration Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the entry into the agreement for the issue of the SQM Consideration Shares.
If Resolution 4 is not passed, 816,713SQM Consideration Shares will continue to be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue or agree to issue, to the extent of 816,713Equity Securities for the 12-month period following the entry into the agreement for the issue of the SQM Consideration Shares.
The Company confirms that Listing Rule 7.1 was not breached at the time the agreement to issue the SQM Consideration Shares was entered into.
