Chairman’s letter

18 November 2019

Dear Shareholder

I am pleased to write to you, as a valued shareholder of KGL Resources Limited ( KGL Resources ), and offer you the opportunity to participate in KGL Resources’ recently announced 1 for 8 non-renounceable entitlement issue of new ordinary shares in KGL Resources ( New Shares ) at an issue price of $0.23 per New Share ( Entitlement Offer ).

Entitlement Offer

On 18 November 2019, KGL Resources announced its intention to raise approximately $8.221 million through the Entitlement Offer.

Proceeds raised from the Entitlement Offer will be used to fund a drill rig on site in support of the mining and geotechnical studies, and assist in finalising the infrastructure analysis and Mine Management Plan, all of which are required to be able to undertake the project financing stage. Further information on progress of KGL Resources’ Jervois Copper Project is set out in the Investor Update lodged with the Australian Securities Exchange ( ASX ) on 18 November 2019, a copy of which is included in this Information Booklet in section 3.

Under the Entitlement Offer, eligible shareholders have the opportunity to invest at the price of $0.23 per New Share. The issue price of $0.23 per New Share represents a 6.12% discount to the closing price of KGL Resources shares on 15 November 2019 (being the last trading day before announcement of the Entitlement Offer).

The number of New Shares you are entitled to subscribe for under the Entitlement Offer ( Entitlement ) is set out in your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form that is enclosed in this Information Booklet.

Major shareholders KMP Investments, Marshall Plenty and the Denis Wood Entities have confirmed to KGL Resources that they intend to subscribe for their full entitlement under the Entitlement Offer.

The Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable and therefore your entitlements will not be tradeable on ASX or otherwise transferable.

1 Description and effect of the Offer

1.1 Overview

The Entitlement Offer is a non-renounceable offer of 35,745,636 New Shares at $0.23 per New Share to raise approximately $8,221,496 (before direct offer costs including fees paid to advisers and to providers of specific services to cover share registry, printing and postage costs).

Proceeds raised from the Entitlement Offer will be used to fund a drill rig on site in support of the mining and geotechnical studies, and assist in finalising the infrastructure analysis and Mine Management Plan, all of which are required to be able to undertake the project financing stage.

Eligible Shareholders who are on KGL Resources’ share register on the Record Date are entitled to acquire 1 New Share for every 8 Shares held on the Record Date ( Entitlement ).

Fractional Entitlements will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of New Shares.

The issue price of $0.23 per New Share represents a discount of 6.12% to the closing price of KGL Resources shares on 15 November 2019 (being the last trading day before announcement of the Entitlement Offer).

The Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable. Accordingly, Entitlements do not trade on ASX, nor can they be transferred or otherwise disposed of.

An Entitlement and Acceptance Form setting out your Entitlement accompanies this Information Booklet. Eligible Shareholders may subscribe for all or part of their Entitlement.

Eligible Shareholders who do not take up all of their Entitlements will have their percentage shareholding in KGL Resources diluted.

Eligible Shareholders should be aware that an investment in KGL Resources involves risks. The key risks identified by KGL Resources are summarised in section 5 of this Information Booklet.

1.2

Shortfall placement

A shortfall may arise if applications received for New Shares under the Entitlement Offer are less than the number of New Shares offered.

The Directors reserve the right, subject to the requirements of the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, to place Shortfall Shares within three months after the Closing Date to either existing or new Shareholders at their discretion.

If issued, Shortfall Shares will be issued at a price not less than the Issue Price of New Shares under the Entitlement Offer. Shareholders will not receive any payment or value for the Entitlements not taken up under the Entitlement Offer that are subsequently taken up as Shortfall Shares.

1.3 Eligibility of Shareholders

The Entitlement Offer is being offered to all Eligible Shareholders.

KGL Resources Limited | Entitlement Offer Information Booklet

6

An Eligible Shareholder is a Shareholder on the Record Date who:

  • (a) has a registered address on the KGL Resources share register in Australia, New Zealand or is a Shareholder that KGL Resources has otherwise determined is eligible to participate;

  • (b) is a beneficial shareholder of KGL Resources resident in Singapore;

  • (c) is an Approved US Shareholder;

  • (d) is not in the United States and is not a person (including nominee or custodian) acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States, excluding any Approved US Shareholders; and

  • (e) is eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Entitlement Offer without any requirement for a prospectus to be lodged or registered.

The Entitlement Offer is not being extended to the Ineligible Shareholders because of the small number of those Shareholders, the number and value of the Shares they hold and the cost of complying with applicable regulations in jurisdictions outside Australia and New Zealand.

1.4

Ranking of New Shares

The New Shares issued under the Entitlement Offer will be fully paid and rank equally with Existing Shares.

1.5

Allotment

KGL Resources will make an application within seven days from the date of this Information Booklet for quotation of the New Shares on ASX. It is expected that allotment of the New Shares under the Entitlement Offer will take place no more than five Business Days after the close of the Entitlement Offer. Any application monies received for more than your final allocation of New Shares will be refunded to you as soon as practicable (where the amount is $2.00 or greater).

Application Monies will be held by KGL Resources on trust for Applicants until the New Shares are allotted. No interest will be paid on Application Monies.

It is the responsibility of Applicants to determine the number of New Shares allotted and issued to them before trading the New Shares. The sale by an Applicant of New Shares before receiving their holding statement is at the Applicant’s own risk.

1.6

Capital structure

Subject to the rounding down of fractional Entitlements, the capital structure of KGL Resources following the issue of New Shares is expected to be as follows:

Existing Shares on issue as at 18 November 2019
(announcement of the Entitlement Offer)

4 How to apply

4.1 Shareholder’s choices

The number of New Shares to which Eligible Shareholders are entitled under the Entitlement Offer (i.e. their Entitlement) is shown on the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Eligible Shareholders may:

  • (a) take up their Entitlement in full (refer to section 4.2);

  • (b) take up part of their Entitlement, in which case the balance of the Entitlement lapses (refer to section 4.3); or

  • (c) allow their Entitlement to lapse (refer to section 4.4).

Ineligible Shareholders may not take up any of their Entitlements.

KGL Resources reserves the right to reject any Entitlement and Acceptance Form that is not correctly completed or that is received after the Closing Date.

The Closing Date for acceptance of the Entitlement Offer is 5.00pm (AEDT) on 5 December 2019 (however, that date may be varied by KGL Resources, in accordance with the Listing Rules).

4.2 Taking up all of your Entitlement

If you wish to take up your Entitlement in full, follow the instructions set out in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

Please return your completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form together with your Application Monies in accordance with section 4.6 for the amount shown on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form to the Share Registry so that it is received no later than 5.00pm (AEDT) on 5 December 2019 at the address set out below:

KGL Resources Limited C/- Link Market Services Limited GPO Box 3560 SYDNEY NSW 2001

You may also take up all of your Entitlement by payment of the Application Monies through BPAY in accordance with the instructions on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. If payment is being made through BPAY, you do not need to return the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Your payment must be received by no later than 5.00pm (AEDT) on 5 December 2019 .

Refund amounts, if any, will be paid in Australian dollars. You will be paid either by cheque sent by ordinary post to your address as recorded on the share register (the registered address of the first-named in the case of joint holders), or by direct credit to the nominated bank account as noted on the share register as at the closing date of the offer. Any application monies received for more than your final allocation of New Shares will be refunded to you as soon as practicable (where the amount is $2.00 or greater).

4.3 Taking up part of your Entitlement and allowing the balance to lapse

If you wish to take up part of your Entitlement, complete the Entitlement and Acceptance Form for the number of New Shares you wish to take up and follow the other steps required under section 4.2.

You may arrange for payment through BPAY in accordance with the instructions on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. If payment is made through BPAY and KGL Resources receives an amount that is less than the Issue Price multiplied by your Entitlement ( Reduced Amount ), your payment may be treated as an application for as many New Shares as your Reduced Amount will pay for in full.

4.4 Allow your Entitlement to lapse

If you do not wish to accept all or any part of your Entitlement, do not take any further action and that part of your Entitlement will lapse.

4.5 Consequences of not accepting your Entitlement

The consideration for the New Shares is payable in full on application by a payment of $0.23 per New Share. The Entitlement and Acceptance Form must be accompanied by a cheque for the Application Monies. Cheques must be drawn in Australian currency on an Australian bank and made payable to ‘ KGL Resources Limited ’ and crossed ‘Not Negotiable’.

Alternatively, you may arrange for payment of the Application Monies through BPAY in accordance with the instructions on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

Eligible Shareholders must not forward cash by mail or by hand delivery. Receipts for payment will not be issued.

4.7 Entitlement and Acceptance Form is binding

A completed and lodged Entitlement and Acceptance Form, or a payment made through BPAY, constitutes a binding offer to acquire New Shares on the terms of this Information Booklet and, once lodged or paid, cannot be withdrawn. If the Entitlement and Acceptance Form is not completed correctly it may still be treated as a valid Application for New Shares.

5 Key risks

References to KGL Resources in this section include its subsidiaries.

5.1 Risk Factors

  • Activities in KGL Resources and its controlled entities, as in any business, are subject to risks which may impact on KGL Resources’ future performance. There are a number of factors, both specific to KGL Resources and of a general nature, which may affect the future operating and financial performance and position of KGL Resources and the outcome of an investment in KGL Resources. Some of these risks can be adequately mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate systems but many are beyond the control of KGL Resources and its Directors and cannot be mitigated.

  • Prior to deciding whether to take up their Entitlement, Shareholders should read this entire Information Booklet and review announcements made by KGL Resources to ASX (at www.asx.com.au, ASX: KGL) in order to gain an appreciation of KGL Resources, its activities, operations, financial position and prospects.

  • Shareholders should also consider the summary risk factors set out below which the Directors believe represent some of the general and specific risks that Shareholders should be aware of when evaluating KGL Resources and deciding whether to increase their shareholding in KGL Resources. The risk factors set out below are not intended to be an exhaustive list of all of the risk factors to which KGL Resources is exposed, and they are not intended to be presented in any assumed order of priority. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Directors, or which they currently believe to be immaterial, may also have an adverse effect on KGL Resources.

  • An investment in KGL Resources should be considered speculative. There can be no certainty that KGL Resources will be able to successfully implement its business strategy. No representation is or can be made as to the future performance of KGL Resources and there can be no assurance that KGL Resources will achieve its objectives.

5.2

Specific Risk Factors

KGL Resources’ exploration and mining operations will be subject to the normal risks of mining, and any revenues will be subject to numerous factors beyond KGL Resources’ control. Certain of these risk factors are as follows:

  • Future capital requirements: KGL Resources’ ongoing activities may require substantial further financing in the future, in addition to amounts raised pursuant to the Entitlement Offer. KGL Resources will require additional funding to bring the Jervois Copper Project into commercial production. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to Shareholders, may be undertaken at lower prices than the current market price (or Entitlement Offer price) and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants which limit KGL Resources’ operations and business strategy. 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 KGL Resources or at all. If KGL Resources is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce, delay or suspend its operations and this could have a material adverse affect on KGL Resources’ activities and could affect KGL Resources’ ability to continue as a going concern.

  • Exploration risk: The success of KGL Resources depends on the delineation of economically mineable reserves and resources, access to required development capital, movement in the

KGL Resources Limited | Entitlement Offer Information Booklet

15

price of commodities, securing and maintaining title to KGL Resources’ exploration and mining tenements and obtaining all consents and approvals necessary for the conduct of its exploration activities. Exploration on KGL Resources’ existing tenements may be unsuccessful, resulting in a reduction of the value of those tenements, diminution in the cash reserves of KGL Resources and possible relinquishment of the tenements. The exploration costs of KGL Resources are based on certain assumptions with respect to the method and timing of exploration. By their nature, these estimates and assumptions are subject to significant uncertainties and, accordingly, the actual costs may materially differ from these estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the cost estimates and the underlying assumptions will be realised in practice, which may materially and adversely affect KGL Resources’ viability. If the level of operating expenditure required is higher than expected, the financial position of KGL may be adversely affected. KGL Resources may also experience unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment.

  • Feasibility and development risks: It may not always be possible for KGL Resources to exploit successful discoveries which may be made in areas in which KGL Resources has an interest. Such exploitation would involve obtaining the necessary licences or clearances from relevant authorities that may require conditions to be satisfied and/or the exercise of discretions by such authorities. It may or may not be possible for such conditions to be satisfied. Further, the decision to proceed to further exploitation may require participation of other companies whose interests and objectives may not be the same as KGL Resources’. Given the early stage of KGL Resources’ projects, there will be a complex, multidisciplinary process to be undertaken to complete a feasibility study to support any development proposal. There is a risk that the feasibility study and associated technical works will not achieve the results expected. There is also a risk that even if a positive feasibility study is produced, the project may not be successfully developed for commercial or financial reasons.

  • Regulatory risk: KGL Resources’ operations are subject to various Federal, State and local laws and plans, including those relating to mining, prospecting, development permit and licence requirements, industrial relations, environment, land use, royalties, water, native title and cultural heritage, mine safety and occupational health. Approvals, licences and permits required to comply with such rules are subject to the discretion of the applicable government officials. No assurance can be given that KGL Resources will be successful in obtaining any or all of the various approvals, licences and permits or maintaining such authorisations in full force and effect without modification or revocation. To the extent such approvals are required and not retained or obtained in a timely manner or at all, KGL Resources may be curtailed or prohibited from continuing or proceeding with production and exploration. KGL Resources’ business and results of operations could be adversely affected if applications lodged for exploration licences are not granted. Mining and exploration tenements are subject to periodic renewal. The renewal of the term of a granted tenement is also subject to the discretion of the relevant Minister. Renewal conditions may include increased expenditure and work commitments or compulsory relinquishment of areas of the tenements comprising KGL Resources’ projects. The imposition of new conditions or the inability to meet those conditions may adversely affect the operations, financial position and/or performance of KGL Resources. It is also possible that, in relation to tenements which KGL Resources has an interest in or will in the future acquire such an interest, there may be areas over which legitimate common law native title rights of Aboriginal Australians exist. If native title rights do exist, the ability of KGL Resources to gain access to tenements (through obtaining consent of any relevant landowner), or to progress from the exploration phase to the development and mining phases of operations may be affected. KGL Resources has a registered Indigenous Land Use Agreement with the traditional owners for its Jervois Copper Project.

  • Occupational health and safety: Given KGL Resources’ exploration activities (and especially if it achieves exploration success leading to mining activities), it will face the risk of workplace injuries which may result in workers’ compensation claims, related common law

KGL Resources Limited | Entitlement Offer Information Booklet

16

claims and potential occupational health and safety prosecutions. Further, the production processes used in conducting any future mining activities of KGL Resources can be dangerous. KGL Resources has, and intends to maintain, a range of workplace practices, procedures and policies which will seek to provide a safe and healthy working environment for its employees, visitors and the community.

  • Limited operating history of KGL Resources: KGL Resources has limited operating history on which it can base an evaluation of its future prospects. If KGL Resources’ business model does not prove to be profitable, investors may lose their investment. KGL’s historical financial information is of limited value because of KGL Resources’ lack of operating history and the emerging nature of its business. The prospects of KGL Resources must be considered in the light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of development, particularly in the mineral exploration sector, which has a high level of inherent uncertainty.

  • Key personnel: In formulating its exploration programs, KGL Resources relies to a significant extent upon the experience and expertise of the Directors and management. A number of key personnel are important to attaining the business goals of KGL Resources. One or more of these key employees could leave their employment, and this may adversely affect the ability of KGL Resources to conduct its business and, accordingly, affect the financial performance of KGL Resources and its Share price. Recruiting and retaining qualified personnel are important to KGL Resources’ success. The number of persons skilled in the exploration and development of mining properties is limited and competition for such persons is strong.

  • Resource estimate risk: Resource estimates are expressions of judgement based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. These estimates are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. These estimates were appropriate when made but may change significantly when new information becomes available. There are risks associated with such estimates. Resource estimates are necessarily imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may ultimately prove to be inaccurate and require adjustment. Adjustments to resource estimates could affect KGL Resources’ future plans and ultimately its financial performance and value. Copper and gold price fluctuations, as well as increased production costs or reduced throughput and/or recovery rates may render resources containing relatively lower grades uneconomic and may materially affect resource estimations.

  • Environmental risk: The operations and activities of KGL Resources are subject to the environmental laws and regulations of Australia. As with most exploration projects and mining operations, KGL Resources’ operations and activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if advanced exploration or mine development proceeds. KGL Resources attempts to conduct its operations and activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws and regulations. KGL Resources 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 KGL Resources’ cost of doing business or affect its operations in any area. However, there can be no assurances that new environmental laws, regulations or stricter enforcement policies, once implemented, will not oblige KGL Resources to incur significant expenses and undertake significant investments which could have a material adverse effect on KGL Resources’ business, financial condition and performance.

  • Availability of equipment and contractors: Given the current level of activity across the Australian mining industry, the availability of appropriate equipment, including drill rigs, is in short supply. There is also high demand for contractors providing other services to the mining industry. Consequently there is a risk that KGL Resources may not be able to source all the equipment and contractors required to fulfil its proposed exploration activities. There

KGL Resources Limited | Entitlement Offer Information Booklet

17

is also a risk that hired contractors may underperform or that equipment may malfunction, either of which may affect the progress of KGL Resources’ exploration activities.

  • Fluctuations in copper price: The copper mining industry is competitive. There can be no assurance that copper and gold prices will be such that KGL Resources can mine its deposits at a profit. Copper and gold prices fluctuate due to a variety of factors including supply and demand fundamentals, international economic and political trends, expectations of inflation, currency exchange fluctuations, interest rates, global or regional consumption patterns and speculative activities. Similarly, demand and supply of capital and currencies, forward trading activities, relative interest rates and exchange rates and relative economic conditions can impact exchange rates.

  • Climate change risks: The operations and activities of KGL Resources are subject to changes to local or international compliance regulations related to climate change mitigation efforts, specific taxation or penalties for carbon emissions or environmental damage, and other possible restraints on industry that may further impact KGL Resources and its profitability. While KGL Resources will endeavour to manage these risks and limit any consequential impacts, there can be no guarantee that KGL Resources will not be impacted by these occurrences. Climate change may also cause certain physical and environmental risks that cannot be predicted by KGL Resources, including events such as increased severity of weather patterns, 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 KGL Resources operates.

5.3 General Risk Factors

Mineral exploration and mining may be hampered by circumstances beyond the control of KGL Resources and are speculative operations which by their nature are subject to a number of inherent risks. These include general risk factors such as:

  • Market Risk: As with all stock market investments, there are risks associated with an investment in KGL Resources. Share prices may rise or fall and the price of Shares might trade below or above the issue price for the New Shares. The price at which KGL Resources Shares trade on the ASX may be determined by a range of factors including movements in local and international equity and bond markets, general investor sentiment in those markets, inflation, interest rates, general economic conditions and outlook and changes in the supply of, and demand for, exploration and mining industry securities, changes to government regulation, policy or legislation, changes which may occur to the taxation of companies as a result of changes in Australian and foreign taxation laws, changes to the system of dividend imputation in Australia, and changes in exchange rates The market for KGL Resources Shares may also be affected by a wide variety of events and factors, including variations in KGL Resources’ operating results, recommendations by securities analysts, and the operating and trading price performance of other listed exploration and mining industry entities that investors consider to be comparable to KGL Resources. Some of these factors could affect KGL Resources’ share price regardless of KGL Resources’ underlying operating performance.

  • Taxation risk: Any change in KGL Resources’ tax status or the tax applicable to holding Shares or in taxation legislation or its interpretation, could affect the value of the investments held by KGL Resources, affect KGL Resources’ ability to provide returns to Shareholders and/or alter the post tax returns to Shareholders. In addition, an interpretation of Australian tax laws by the Australian Taxation Office that differs to KGL Resources’ interpretation may lead to an increase in KGL Resources’ tax liabilities and a reduction in Shareholder returns. Personal tax liabilities are the responsibility of each individual investor. KGL Resources is not responsible either for tax or tax penalties incurred by investors.

KGL Resources Limited | Entitlement Offer Information Booklet

18

  • Liquidity risk: There can be no guarantee that there will continue to be an active market for Shares or that the price of Shares will increase. There may be relatively few buyers or sellers of Shares on ASX at any given time. This may affect the volatility of the market price of Shares. It may also affect the prevailing market price at which Shareholders are able to sell their Shares. This may result in Shareholders receiving a market price for their Shares that is less or more than the price paid under the Entitlement Offer.

  • Securities investment risk: Applicants should be aware that there are risks associated with any securities investment. Securities listed on the stock market, and in particular securities of mining and exploration companies have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated to the operating performances of such companies. These factors may materially affect the market price of the securities regardless of KGL Resources’ performance. The past performance of KGL Resources is not necessarily an indication as to future performance of KGL Resources as the trading price of Shares can go up or down. Neither KGL Resources nor the Directors warrant the future performance of KGL Resources or any return on an investment in KGL Resources.

  • Economic factors: The operating and financial performance of KGL Resources is influenced by a variety of general economic and business conditions, including levels of consumer spending, oil prices, inflation, interest rates and exchange rates, supply and demand, industrial disruption, access to debt and capital markets and government fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies. Changes in general economic conditions may result from many factors including government policy, international economic conditions, significant acts of terrorism, hostilities or war or natural disasters. A prolonged deterioration in general economic conditions, including an increase in interest rates or a decrease in consumer and business demand, could be expected to have an adverse impact on KGL Resources’ operating and financial performance and financial position. KGL Resources’ future possible revenues and Share price can be affected by these factors, which are beyond the control of KGL Resources.

  • Accounting standards: Australian accounting standards are set by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ( AASB ) and are outside KGL Resources’ control. Changes to accounting standards issued by AASB could materially adversely affect the financial performance and position reported in KGL Resources’ financial statements.
