LETTER FROM THE CHAIR
4 May 2023
Dear Shareholder
As a valued Shareholder, I am pleased to invite you to participate in a 10 for 27 pro-rata traditional non-renounceable entitlement offer of new fully paid ordinary shares in the Company ( New Shares ) at an offer price of $0.12 per New Share ( Offer Price ) to raise gross proceeds of up to approximately $20.2 million ( Offer ).
In November 2022, the Company completed and released a robust and financially viable feasibility study. The Offer will fund the activities following on from the feasibility study, being the project development and ongoing expansion of the resource. In particular, the proceeds of the Offer will be applied principally to advance the Jervois Copper Project and to grow the high-grade resource. The proceeds of the Offer will also add to working capital to strengthen the Company's balance sheet as it moves along the development pathway for the Jervois Copper Project. The background to the Offer and the key risks facing the Company in the next 12 to 24 months are described in more detail in the Company's Investor Presentation lodged with ASX on 26 April 2023 (and included in this Offer Booklet in Section 5). The Offer is not underwritten, and is subject to a minimum raise condition of $9 million. Funding in excess of the minimum raise will primarily be used to continue exploration activities with the possibility of adding a third drilling rig to accelerate growing the high-grade resource, and as additional project working capital for project readiness.
This Offer Booklet relates to the Offer. Under the Offer, Eligible Shareholders are entitled to acquire 10 New Shares for every 27 Shares held at 7.00pm (Sydney time) on 1 May 2023 ( Record Date ) ( Entitlement ). Your Entitlement is set out in your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form which accompanies this Offer Booklet. It is important that you determine whether to take up in whole or part, or do nothing, in respect of your Entitlement (see Section 2).
Eligible Shareholders have the opportunity to invest at the price of $0.12 per New Share. The issue price of $0.12 per New Share represents a 10% discount to the closing price of Shares on 24 April 2023 (being the last trading day before announcement of the Offer), and a 7.3% discount to the TERP of $0.129.[1]
New Shares issued through the Offer will rank equally with existing Shares on issue.
Substantial Shareholders, KMP Investments Pte. Ltd., which has an interest in the Company of approximately 26.13%, entities associated with Denis Wood, which have a joint interest in the Company of approximately 9.24%, and Marshall Plenty Investments, LLC, which has an interest in the Company of approximately 7.27%, have committed to take up their respective Entitlements in full.[2]
Entitlements under the Offer are non-renounceable and will not be tradeable on ASX or otherwise transferable. If you do not take up your Entitlement in full, you will not receive any value in respect of that part of the Entitlement that you do not take up.
The Offer closes at 5.00pm (Sydney time) on 18 May 2023.
1 The TERP is the theoretical price at which Shares should trade immediately following the ex-date for the Offer assuming 100% take up of the Offer. The TERP is a theoretical calculation only and the actual price at which Shares trade immediately following the ex-date for the Offer will depend on many factors and may not be equal to the TERP. The TERP is calculated by reference to the Company’s closing price of $0.132 per Share on 24 April 2023, being the last trading day prior to the announcement of the Offer.
2 In respect of KMP Investments Pte. Ltd., subject to compliance with Chapter 6 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). If to take up its Entitlement in full would result in KMP Investments Pte. Ltd. breaching Chapter 6 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), it will take up the maximum number of New Shares which it is legally permitted to acquire.

The Offer is being made pursuant to section 708AA of the Corporations Act (as notionally modified by - ASIC Corporations (Non Traditional Rights Issues) Instrument 2016/84 and ASIC Corporations (Disregarding Technical Relief) Instrument 2016/73), which allows the Offer to be offered without a prospectus, provided certain conditions are satisfied.

1.4 Effect of the Offer on control
Information in relation to the effect of the Offer on the control of the Company is set out in the Offer cleansing notice released to ASX on 26 April 2023.
The effect and consequence of the issue of New Shares under the Offer on the control of the Company is dependent on a number of factors, including investor demand.
Given the structure of the Offer as a pro-rata offer, if all Eligible Shareholders take up their Entitlements, the ownership interest (and voting power) in the Company of each Eligible Shareholder will remain largely unchanged and the effect on the control of the Company will be negligible. In these circumstances, the voting power of KMP, the Company's largest shareholder (with an interest in the Company prior to the Offer of approximately 26.13%), will remain at approximately 26.13%.
To the extent that any Eligible Shareholder fails to take up their Entitlement, the percentage holding in the Company of that Eligible Shareholder will be diluted by those other Eligible Shareholders who take up some, all or more than their Entitlements. Depending on the percentage of Entitlements taken up ( Take-Up ), KMP's voting power in the Company may also increase. This is shown in the following table, which sets out KMP's voting power in the Company immediately following completion of the Offer in various Take-Up scenarios. Even in these circumstances, however, the Board considers that the Offer will not affect the control of the Company.

You have a number of decisions to make in respect of your Entitlement. You should read this Offer Booklet carefully before making any decisions in relation to your Entitlement.
The Offer is not underwritten, with the Offer subject to a minimum raise condition of $9 million. Substantial Shareholders, KMP, which has an interest in the Company of approximately 26.13%, Wood, which has an interest in the Company of approximately 9.24%, and Marshall Plenty, which has an interest in the Company of approximately 7.27%, have committed to take up their respective Entitlements in full.[6] Further details on the Offer are set out below.

If the result is not a whole number, your Entitlement will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of New Shares.
If you have more than one registered holding of Shares, you will be sent more than one personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form and you will have a separate Entitlement for each separate holding.
New Shares issued under the Offer will be fully paid ordinary shares in the Company and will rank equally in all respects with existing Shares on issue.
See Sections 6.1 and 6.12 for information on restrictions on participation.

This Offer Booklet does not contain all of the information which may be required in order to make an informed decision regarding an application for New Shares offered under the Offer. As a result, it is important for you to read carefully and understand the information on the Company and the Offer made publicly available, prior to deciding whether to take up all or part of your Entitlement or do nothing in respect of your Entitlement.

3.8 Entitlements of Ineligible Shareholders
In compliance with ASX Listing Rule 7.7.1(a) and section 708AA (including section 9A(3)(a)) of the Corporations Act, the Company has determined that it is unreasonable to extend the Offer to Ineligible Shareholders because of the small number of such Shareholders, the number and value of Shares that they hold, and the cost of complying with the applicable regulations in jurisdictions outside of Australia and New Zealand, but it reserves its right to do so (subject to compliance with relevant laws).
The Company, in its absolute discretion, may extend the Offer to any Shareholder if it is satisfied that the Offer may be made to the Shareholder in compliance with all applicable laws. The Company, in its absolute discretion, reserves the right to determine whether a Shareholder is an Eligible Shareholder and therefore able to participate in the Offer, or an Ineligible Shareholder and therefore unable to participate in the Offer. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company disclaims all liability in respect of such determination.
17
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES
==> picture [57 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
Ineligible Shareholders will not receive any payment or value as a result of the issue of any of those New Shares they would have been entitled to subscribe for had they been eligible to participate in the Offer. Entitlements of Ineligible Shareholders may be subscribed for under the Top-Up Facility.
3.9 Issue of additional New Shares under the Top-Up Facility
Any New Shares not taken up by the Closing Date may be made available to those Eligible Shareholders who took up their full Entitlement and applied for additional New Shares under the Top-Up Facility at the same Offer Price ( Eligible Top-Up Facility Participants ). An Eligible Top-Up Facility Participant can apply for additional New Shares under the Top-Up Facility in excess of their Entitlement at the Offer Price. Applications under the Top-Up Facility will (subject to the Company ensuring that no issue of New Shares occurs that is contrary to law) be capped in the following manner:
-
an Eligible Top-Up Facility Participant who is a $500 Parcel Holder may apply for up to such number of additional New Shares under the Top-Up Facility as is necessary to ensure that immediately following completion of the Offer, the Eligible Top-Up Facility Participant holds $2,000 worth of Shares (calculated based on the Offer Price per Share);
-
an Eligible Top-Up Facility Participant who is a Sub 100,000 Holder may apply for up to such number of additional New Shares under the Top-Up Facility as is equal to 100% of their Entitlement; and
-
an Eligible Top-Up Facility Participant who is a 100,000 Holder may apply for up to such number of additional New Shares under the Top-Up Facility as is equal to 20% of their Entitlement.
In particular, an Eligible Top-Up Facility Participant will not be issued any additional New Shares under the Top-Up Facility if the issue of such additional New Shares would cause the Company or that Eligible Top-Up Facility Participant to breach any applicable law, including but not limited to section 606 of the Corporations Act.
There is no guarantee that those Eligible Top-Up Facility Participants will receive the number of New Shares applied for under the Top-Up Facility, or any. If Eligible Top-Up Facility Participants apply for more New Shares than are available under the Top-Up Facility, the Directors will give Eligible Top-Up Facility Participants that are $500 Parcel Holders priority in respect of allocation of New Shares available under the Top-Up Facility, followed by Eligible Top-Up Facility Participants that are Sub 100,000 Holders, followed by Eligible Top-Up Facility Participants that are 100,000 Holders.
If you apply for additional New Shares under the Top-Up Facility and your application is successful (in whole or in part) your New Shares will be issued at the same time that other New Shares are issued under the Offer, subject to compliance with the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules. There is no guarantee you will receive any New Shares under the Top-Up Facility.
To the extent that a shortfall of New Shares remains after the allocation of New Shares under the Top-Up Facility ( Shortfall Shares ), the Directors reserve the right to, at their discretion, invite investors to apply for those Shortfall Shares within three months of the Closing Date. The Board does not presently intend to issue a party Shortfall Shares if the effect would be to increase that party’s voting power in the Company to an amount greater than 20%, or to any existing Shareholder that already has voting power in the Company greater than 20%, given the likely cost involved in seeking Shareholder approval under item 7 of section 611 of the Corporations Act, unless another exception under section 611 of the Corporations Act applies to such person or existing Shareholder.
Refund amounts (greater than $2.00), 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

b) Exercise of Entitlements
The exercise of Entitlements should not, of itself, result in any amount being included in a Shareholder's assessable income and should not give rise to any capital gain under the CGT provisions.
Eligible Shareholders that exercise their Entitlements will receive New Shares. New Shares will be taken to have been acquired on the day on which the Entitlements were exercised for CGT purposes.
The CGT cost base of each New Share acquired will be the sum of the amount paid to exercise the corresponding Entitlement (i.e. the Offer Price) and any incidental costs in acquiring the New Shares.
c) Lapse of Entitlement
If an Eligible Shareholder does not accept all or part of their Entitlement in accordance with the instructions set out above, then that Entitlement will lapse. There should be no adverse taxation implications for an Eligible Shareholder from the lapse of the Entitlement.
4.3 Income tax consequences of New Shares
The New Shares should constitute CGT assets for CGT purposes.
Dividends paid to Eligible Shareholders in relation to their New Shares should generally be subject to the same income tax treatment as dividends in relation to existing Shares held in the same circumstances.
As outlined above, the CGT cost base of a New Share should generally be equal to the sum of the amount paid to exercise the corresponding Entitlement (i.e. the Offer Price) and any incidental costs in acquiring the New Share. Any future sale of New Shares will constitute a disposal for CGT purposes. A capital gain will arise if the capital proceeds on disposal exceed the CGT cost base of a New Share. A capital loss will arise if the capital proceeds on disposal are less than the reduced CGT cost base of a New Share.
Shareholders may be able to apply carried forward or current year losses to reduce their capital gain on disposal. The ability to utilise losses is dependent on meeting the relevant tests.
Non-corporate Shareholders may be entitled to a concession which discounts the amount of capital gain that is assessed. Broadly, the concession is available where the New Shares have been held for more than 12 months or more prior to disposal. The concession results in a 50% reduction in the assessable amount of a capital gain for an individual Shareholder and a one-third reduction of a capital gain for an Australian tax resident complying superannuation entity Shareholder (including generally where a flow through trust or partnership distributes to such Shareholders), after offsetting any current or carried forward losses.
In relation to trusts or partnerships including limited partnerships, the rules surrounding capital gains and the CGT discount are complex, but the benefit of the CGT discount may flow through to relevant beneficiaries or partners, subject to certain requirements being satisfied.
Australian tax resident Shareholders who hold New Shares on revenue account, as trading stock or are subject to the rules in Division 230 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) concerning the taxation of financial arrangements should seek separate independent professional advice.

4.4 Non-resident CGT withholding
Specific rules can apply to the disposal of certain taxable Australian property under contracts entered into on or after 1 July 2016, whereby a 12.5% non-final withholding tax may be applied. However, the new rules should not apply to the disposal of a New Share on ASX (in accordance with a specific exemption).
4.5 Provision of TFN or ABN
Australian tax legislation imposes withholding tax at the highest marginal rate (currently 45% plus a Medicare levy of 2%) on the payment of distributions on certain types of investments, such as the unfranked part of any dividend, where no TFN or ABN (if applicable) has been provided and no exemption applies. Australian tax resident Shareholders may be able to claim a tax credit/refund (as applicable) in respect of any tax withheld on dividends in their income tax returns.
Shareholders that have not previously provided their TFN or ABN (if applicable) to the Company's Share Registry may wish to do so prior to the Closing Date to ensure that withholding tax is not deducted from any future distribution payable to them.
A Shareholder is not obliged to provide their TFN, or where relevant, ABN, to the Company.
4.6 Other Australian taxes
GST and stamp duty should not generally be payable in relation to the issue or exercise of Entitlements, nor in relation to the acquisition of New Shares.
Eligible Shareholders may, however, be restricted in their ability to claim input tax credits in relation to costs incurred in relation to their acquisition of the New Shares (such as costs relating to professional advice obtained by Shareholders regarding the Entitlement). This will depend on each Eligible Shareholder’s particular circumstances and, as such, this should be reviewed by Shareholders prior to making any claim.

MATERIAL BUSINESS RISKS (cont..)
Exploration Risk
----- End of picture text -----
The success of KGL depends on the delineation of economically mineable reserves and resources, access to required development capital, movement in the price of commodities, securing and maintaining title to KGL’s exploration and mining tenements, and obtaining all consents and approvals necessary for the conduct of its exploration activities. Exploration on KGL’s existing tenements may be unsuccessful, resulting in a reduction in the value of those tenements, diminution in the cash reserves of KGL, and possible relinquishment of the tenements. The exploration costs of KGL 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 adversely affect KGL’s viability. If the level of operating expenditure required is higher than expected, the financial position of KGL may be adversely affected. KGL may also experience unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment.

----- Start of picture text -----
Feasibility and Development Risks
It may not always be possible for KGL to exploit successful discoveries which may be made in areas in which KGL 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. KGL continues to assess the economic viability of a potential mine
through the completion of final investment decision (‘FID’) works, including contract tendering being undertaken in 2023 aimed at reducing development risks
for the Jervois Copper Project. There is a risk, even if satisfactory contractual arrangements are put in place, the Jervois Copper Project may not be
successfully developed for commercial and/or financial reasons.
Regulatory Risk
KGL’s operations are subject to various Commonwealth, 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 will be successful in obtaining or maintaining such approvals, licences and permits in full force and effect without modification or revocation.
To the extent such approvals, licences and permits are required and not retained or obtained in a timely manner or at all, KGL may be curtailed or prohibited
from continuing or proceeding with production and exploration. KGL’s business and results of operations could be adversely affected if applications lodged
for exploration licences are not granted.

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES Key Risk Factors
Activities in KGL and its controlled entities, as in any business, are subject to risks which may impact on KGL’s future performance. There are a number of factors, both specific to KGL and of a general nature, which may affect the future operating and financial performance and position of KGL and the outcome of an investment in KGL. Some of these risks can be adequately mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate systems but many are beyond the control of KGL and its directors and cannot be mitigated.
Prior to deciding whether to take up their entitlement, eligible shareholders should read the entire Offer information booklet and review announcements made by KGL to ASX (at www.asx.com.au, ASX: KGL) in order to gain an appreciation of KGL and its activities, operations, financial position and prospects.
Shareholders should also consider the summary of key risk factors set out below which the directors of KGL believe represent some of the specific and general risks that shareholders should be aware of when evaluating KGL, and deciding whether to increase their shareholding in KGL. The key risk factors set out below are not intended to be an exhaustive list of all of the risk factors to which KGL 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 of KGL, or which they currently believe to be immaterial, may also have an adverse effect on KGL.
An investment in KGL should be considered speculative. There can be no certainty that KGL will be able to successfully implement its business strategy. No representation is or can be made as to the future performance of KGL and there can be no assurance that KGL will achieve its objectives.
MATERIAL BUSINESS RISKS
Future Capital Raisings
KGL’s ongoing activities are expected to require substantial further financing in the future, in addition to amounts raised pursuant to the Offer. KGL will require additional funding to bring the Jervois Copper Project into commercial production. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to shareholders and may be undertaken at lower prices than the current market price, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants which limit KGL’s operations and business strategy. Although the directors of KGL believe that additional capital can be obtained, no assurances can be made, that appropriate capital or funding will, if and when needed, be available on terms favourable to KGL, or at all. If KGL 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 effect on KGL’s activities and could affect KGL’s ability to continue as a going concern.

----- End of picture text -----
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES Key Risk Factors MATERIAL BUSINESS RISKS (cont..) Regulatory Risk (cont…) 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’s 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. It is also possible that, in relation to tenements which KGL has an interest in or will in the future acquire such an interest in, 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 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 has a registered Indigenous Land Use Agreement with the traditional owners for its Jervois Copper Project. Occupational Health and Safety Given KGL’s 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 claims and potential occupational health and safety prosecutions. Further, the production processes used in conducting any future mining activities of KGL can be hazardous. KGL 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 KGL has limited operating history on which it can base an evaluation of its future prospects. If KGL’s 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’s lack of operating history and the emerging nature of its business. The prospects of KGL 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, feasibility studies and development strategies, KGL relies to a significant extent upon the experience and expertise of the directors of KGL and its management. A number of key personnel are important to attaining the business goals of KGL. One or more of these key employees could leave their employment, and this may adversely affect the ability of KGL to conduct its business and, accordingly, affect the financial performance of KGL and its share price. Recruiting and retaining qualified personnel is important to KGL’s success. The number of persons skilled in the exploration and development of mining properties is limited, and competition for such persons is strong. KGL Resources Limited Equity Raising 2023 32

| Key Risk Factors | |
| MATERIAL BUSINESS RISKS (cont..) | |
| Resource and Reserve Estimate Risk | |
| Resource and reserve estimates are expressions of judgement 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 and reserve | |
| estimates are necessarily imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may ultimately prove to be inaccurate and require adjustment. | |
| Adjustments to resource and reserve estimates could affect KGL’s future plans and ultimately its financial performance and value. Copper, silver 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 adversely affect resource and reserve estimations. | |
| Environmental Risk | |
| The operations and activities of KGL are subject to the environmental laws and regulations of Australia. As with most exploration projects and mining | |
| operations, KGL’s operations and activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if advanced exploration or mine development | |
| proceeds. KGL attempts to conduct its operations and activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all | |
| environmental laws and regulations. KGL is unable to predict the effect of additional environmental laws and regulations which may come into effect in | the |
| future, including whether any such laws or regulations would materially increase KGL’s 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 to incur | |
| significant expenses and undertake significant investments, which could have a material adverse effect on KGL’s business, financial condition and | |
| performance. | |
| Availability of Equipment and Contractors | |
| Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, appropriate equipment, including drill rigs, was in short supply. There was also high demand for contractors providing other | |
| services to the mining industry. Current economic conditions, global and domestic, and the COVID-19 pandemic have only served to exacerbate these | |
| issues. Consequently, there is a risk that KGL may not be able to source all the equipment and contractors required to fulfil its proposed activities. There is | |
| also a risk that hired contractors may underperform or that equipment may malfunction, either of which may affect the progress of KGL’s activities. The | |
| availability of equipment, material and contractors is also a key consideration of KGL’s board of directors in relation to the timing of the final investment | |
| decision (‘FID’). | |

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES Key Risk Factors GENERAL RISK FACTORS Mineral exploration and mining may be hampered by circumstances beyond the control of KGL and are speculative operations which by their nature are subject to a number of inherent risks. These include general risk factors such as the following. Market Risk As with all stock market investments, there are risks associated with an investment in KGL. Share prices may rise or fall and the price of KGL shares might trade below or above the issue price for the New Shares. The price at which KGL shares trade on 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 shares may also be affected by a wide variety of events and factors, including variations in KGL’s 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. Some of these factors could affect KGL’s share price regardless of KGL’s underlying operating performance. Taxation Risk Any change in KGL’s tax status or the tax applicable to holding KGL shares or in taxation legislation or its interpretation, could affect the value of the investments held by KGL, affect KGL’s 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’s interpretation may lead to an increase in KGL’s tax liabilities and a reduction in shareholder returns. Personal tax liabilities are the responsibility of each individual investor. KGL is not responsible either for tax or tax penalties incurred by investors. Liquidity Risk There can be no guarantee that there will continue to be an active market for KGL shares or that the price of KGL shares will increase. There may be relatively few buyers or sellers of KGL shares on ASX at any given time. This may affect the volatility of the market price of KGL shares. It may also affect the prevailing market price at which shareholders are able to sell their KGL shares. This may result in shareholders receiving a market price for their KGL shares that is less or more than the price paid under the Offer. KGL Resources Limited Equity Raising 2023 35
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES Key Risk Factors MATERIAL BUSINESS RISKS (cont..) Fluctuations in Copper Price and Australian Dollar Exchange Rate The copper mining industry is competitive. There can be no assurance that copper, silver and gold prices will be such that KGL can mine its deposits at a profit. Copper,silver 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. These fluctuations were exacerbated by the worldwide spread of the COVID-19 virus and at this stage, forecast recoveries from the impact of COVID-19 are speculative. 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 Risk The operations and activities of KGL 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 and its profitability. While KGL will endeavour to manage these risks and limit any consequential impacts, there can be no guarantee that KGL will not be impacted by these occurrences. Climate change may also cause certain physical and environmental risks that cannot be predicted by KGL, 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 operates. KGL is working proactively to increase the level of renewable energy penetration at its Jervois Copper Project, and is considering a range to technologies that could be applied to the Jervois Copper Project for the benefit of all stakeholders. Macro-Economic Risks In 2023, the world continues to be impacted by COVID-19, with global supply chains, labour and equipment shortages still being materially affected. Although world economies have largely re-opened, the economic impact of COVID-19 is still being felt. The COVID-19 pandemic also highlighted the severe impact that such a pandemic, epidemic or any other form of health crisis (whether COVID-19 related or otherwise) can have, including on capital markets, and if such a pandemic, epidemic or other form of health crisis were to occur in the future, it may have an adverse impact on KGL's operating and financial performance and financial position. Inflationary pressures for appropriately skilled labour, oil and capital items are being seen across many industries, including the mining industry, and the recent geopolitical tensions across a number of areas worldwide (including the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia) may also continue to adversely affect capital markets and cause spikes in materials prices, including diesel prices. KGL Resources Limited Equity Raising 2023 34
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES Key Risk Factors GENERAL RISK FACTORS (cont..) 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’s performance. The past performance of KGL is not necessarily an indication as to future performance of KGL as the trading price of KGL shares can go up or down. Neither KGL, nor its directors, warrant the future performance of KGL or any return on an investment in KGL. Economic Factors The operating and financial performance of KGL 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 as a result of an increase in interest rates, rising geopolitical tensions, or a decrease in consumer and business demand, may have an adverse impact on KGL’s operating and financial performance and financial position. This risk is heightened in the current uncertain economic environment. Examples of events that have affected (and may continue to affect) global geopolitical conditions include the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, the tensions between China and Taiwan, the United Kingdom ceasing to be a member of the European Union and the European Economic Area on 31 January 2020 (commonly referred to as “Brexit”), the bank failures in 2023 including the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank and Silvergate Bank, and global trade developments relating to, among other things, the imposition or threatened imposition of trade tariffs and levies by major countries, including the United States and China. KGL’s future possible revenues and the KGL share price can be affected by these factors, which are beyond the control of KGL. Accounting Standards Australian accounting standards are set by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ( AASB ) and are outside KGL’s control. Changes to accounting standards issued by AASB could materially adversely affect the financial performance and position reported in KGL’s financial statements.

Robust Long-Term Outlook for Copper
Long-term supply gap remains unsolved, with
• S&P Global [1] forecasts refined copper demand doubling by widening mid-term deficits [3]
2035 from 25 Mt to almost 50 Mt driven by growing demand for
renewable energy and EV's under the clean energy transition.
• Wood Mackenzie [2] note that, given the substantial growth in
new mine supply needed to meet zero-carbon targets, the
industry will have to deliver new projects at a frequency and
consistent level of investment never previously accomplished.
• The additional volume of copper needed means that 9.7 Mt of
new mine supply will be required over the next decade from
projects that have yet to be sanctioned – equivalent to nearly a
third of current refined consumption.
• Investment would need to be more than $23 billion a year in
new projects, which is 64% higher than the average annual
spend over the last 30 years.
• Mine supply is expected to peak in 2024. Major copper discovery drought continues [4]
• A chronic shortfall in copper supply is expected to commence
in the later half of this decade driven by robust demand and
declining grades and reserves from existing mines, a lack of
new discoveries from increased exploration budgets and long
lead times from discovery to production of on average 16
years.

representing some 30% of the global passenger vehicle
fleet electrification could rapidly spread to medium and
heavy commercial vehicles starting in the 2020s
(Bloomberg New Energy Finance, 2019)
• As EVs utilise material differently to conventional vehicles,
their growth faces potential material supply challenges.
Copper (Cu) is used in EV batteries, motors, wiring,
busbars and charging infrastructure. As such, it is deemed
the electrical metal essential for almost all energy
applications, While a conventional car contains 23kg of
Cu on average, hybrid, plug-in and battery EVs require In 2022, Bloomberg NEF estimated that Europe’s net-zero transition

(International Copper Study Group, 2018) Each major channel of renewable energy is highly copper-intensive. Wind
energy, for instance, consumes 1.4 tons of copper per MW. Solar PV
Copper demand is expected to grow 600% installations require 65% more, while offshore wind facilities use more
The need for copper will see demand increasing nearly 600% than thrice that volume.
by 2030, according to Goldman Sachs forecasts, equivalent to 5.4 million tonnes. With North America’s EV market set to grow from $2.7bn in 2021 to $18.6bn by 2030, the amount of Cu required for EV production alone is estimated to reach 3.7m tonnes by 2040 Moreover, Anderson believes that due to the intermittent nature of renewable power, replacement with traditional energy generation is not on a 1-to-1 basis.According to his estimates, it is over 3 MW of power and related storage that you need to build to replace one MW of base load.

Entitlement offer to raise up to
approximately $20.2 million
----- End of picture text -----
26 April 2023
KGL Resources Limited (ASX:KGL) ( KGL or Company ) is pleased to announce a proposed 10 for 27 pro-rata traditional non-renounceable entitlement offer of fully paid ordinary shares in KGL ( New Shares ) to raise up to approximately $20.2 million ( Offer ).
The Offer is not underwritten and is subject to a minimum raise condition of $9 million. Three of KGL’s major shareholders, KMP Investments Pte. Ltd., entities associated with Denis Wood, and Marshall Plenty Investments, LLC, have committed to take up their respective entitlements in full, which would provide funding of $8.6 million.[1]
In November 2022, the Company completed and released a robust and financially viable feasibility study. The Offer will fund the activities following on from the feasibility study – (1) the project development and (2) ongoing expansion of the resource.
Executive Chairman, Denis Wood, commented:
“We completed the Feasibility Study in November 2022 and since that time have been working on de-risking and preparing for the project. We also recommenced drilling in March 2023 with some exciting targets to explore. Proceeds from the Offer, if fully subscribed, will allow the Company to continue with these activities well into 2024. My opinion is that the current share price is well below the intrinsic value of the Company, especially considering the forthcoming copper shortages the world faces. We have sought to structure the Offer in such a way that is fair to all shareholders, which has meant some limitations on the top-up facility under the Offer but priority has been given to smaller shareholders. I encourage you to review the Offer information booklet, when released, and look forward to your ongoing support.”
Project Development
The current work streams include mine plan optimisation and tenders for contracts with experienced contractors for construction, mining and operations. The Company is also implementing a risk management plan which is critical to being able to meet delivery timelines and desired outcomes. Project commencement will be subject to market conditions but anticipated copper deficits and higher incentive prices for copper are likely to improve development options and returns for shareholders.
Resource Expansion
The opportunity exists to focus on growing the high-grade resource at Jervois given the outlook for chronic shortfalls in copper over the next decade.
Recent drilling success at Marshall Deeps and Rockface demonstrate potential to expand the high-grade resource with the potential to extend mine life to drive capital efficiencies, cashflow and IRR improvements.

There may be additional announcements made by the Company after the date of this Offer Booklet and throughout the period that the Offer is open that may be relevant to your consideration of whether to take up, or do nothing in respect of, your Entitlement. Therefore, it is prudent that you check whether any further announcements have been made by the Company (by visiting ASX's website at www.asx.com.au, or the Company's website at www.kglresources.com.au) before submitting your application to take up your Entitlement.
No party other than the Company has authorised or caused the issue of the information in this Offer Booklet, or takes any responsibility for, or makes, any statements, representations or undertakings in respect of, such information.

The information in this Offer Booklet is important and requires your immediate attention.
You should read the information in this Offer Booklet carefully and in its entirety before deciding how to deal with your Entitlement. In particular, you should consider the risk factors outlined in the "Key Risk Factors" section of the Company's Investor Presentation included in Section 5, any of which could affect the operating and financial performance of the Company or the value of an investment in the Company.
You should consult your stockbroker, solicitor, accountant, financial adviser or other professional adviser to evaluate whether or not to participate in the Offer.
6.1 Ineligible Shareholders
This Offer Booklet contains an offer of New Shares to Eligible Shareholders in Australia and New Zealand and has been prepared in accordance with section 708AA of the Corporations Act (as notionally modified by ASIC Corporations (Non-Traditional Rights Issues) Instrument 2016/84 and ASIC Corporations (Disregarding Technical Relief) Instrument 2016/73).
As set out in Section 1.2, Eligible Shareholders are those persons who:
-
are registered as a holder of Shares as at the Record Date, being 7.00pm (Sydney time) on 1 May 2023;
-
as at the Record Date, have a registered address on the Company's Share register that is in Australia or New Zealand, or are a Shareholder that the Company has otherwise determined is entitled to participate;
-
are not in the United States and are not a person (including a nominee or custodian) acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States (to the extent such person holds Shares and is acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States); and
24
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES
==> picture [57 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
- are eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Offer.
All Shareholders who do not satisfy the criteria to be Eligible Shareholders are Ineligible Shareholders. Ineligible Shareholders are not entitled to participate in the Offer, unless the Company otherwise determines.
The restrictions upon eligibility to participate in the Offer arise because the Company has determined, pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.7.1(a) and section 708AA (including section 9A(3)(a)) of the Corporations Act, that it would be unreasonable to extend the Offer to Ineligible Shareholders. This decision has been made after taking into account the number of non - residents in Australia and New Zealand on the Company's Share register, the relatively small number and value of New Shares to which those Shareholders would otherwise be entitled, and the potential costs of complying with legal and regulatory requirements in the jurisdictions in which the Ineligible Shareholders are located in relation to the Offer.
The Company, in its absolute discretion, may extend the Offer to any Shareholder if it is satisfied that the Offer may be made to the Shareholder in compliance with all applicable laws. The Company, in its absolute discretion, reserves the right to determine whether a Shareholder is an Eligible Shareholder or an Ineligible Shareholder. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company disclaims all liability in respect of such determination.
Ineligible Shareholders will not receive any payment or value as a result of the issue of any of those New Shares they would have been entitled to subscribe for had they been eligible to participate in the Offer.
By returning a completed personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form or making a payment by BPAY[®] , you will be taken to have represented and warranted that you satisfy each of the criteria listed above to be an Eligible Shareholder. Nominees, trustees or custodians are therefore advised to seek independent professional advice as to how to proceed.
6.2 Ranking of New Shares
New Shares issued under the Offer will be fully paid and rank equally in all respects with existing Shares on issue from their time of issue. The rights and liabilities attaching to the New Shares are set out in the Company's constitution, a copy of which is available at www.kglresources.com.au.
6.3 Risks
The Company's Investor Presentation details important factors and risks that could affect the financial and operating performance of the Company. You should refer to the "Key Risk Factors" section of the Company's Investor Presentation released to ASX on 26 April 2023 which is included in Section 5. You should consider these factors in light of your personal circumstances, including financial and taxation issues, before making a decision in relation to your Entitlement.
6.4 Reconciliation, and the rights of the Company
The Offer and the calculation of Entitlements is a complex process. There may be a need to undertake a reconciliation of Entitlements. If reconciliation is required, it is possible that the Company may need to issue additional New Shares to ensure that the relevant investors receive their appropriate allocation of New Shares.
The Company also reserves the right to reduce the size of an Entitlement or number of New Shares allocated to Eligible Shareholders, or persons claiming to be Eligible Shareholders or other applicable investors, if the Company believes in its complete discretion that their claims are overstated or if they or their nominees fail to provide information requested to substantiate their claims. In that case, the Company may, in its discretion, require the relevant Shareholder to transfer excess New Shares at its
25
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES
==> picture [57 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
direction at the Offer Price per New Share. If necessary, the relevant Shareholder may need to transfer existing Shares held by them or to purchase additional Shares on-market to meet this obligation. The relevant Shareholder will bear any and all losses caused by subscribing for New Shares in excess of their Entitlement and any actions they are required to take in this regard.
By applying under the Offer, those doing so irrevocably acknowledge and agree to do the above as required by the Company in its absolute discretion. Those applying acknowledge that there is no time limit on the ability of the Company to require any of the actions set out above.
6.5 No cooling off rights
Cooling off rights do not apply to an investment in New Shares. You cannot withdraw your application once it has been accepted.
6.6 Rounding of Entitlements
Where fractions arise in the calculation of an Entitlement, they will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of New Shares.
6.7 Trading of Entitlements
Your Entitlement is personal and cannot be traded on ASX, transferred, assigned or otherwise dealt with. If you do not take up your Entitlement by the Closing Date, being 5.00pm (Sydney time) on 18 May 2023, your Entitlement will lapse.
6.8 Quotation and trading of New Shares
The Company will apply for quotation of the New Shares on ASX in accordance with the ASX Listing Rule requirements. Trading of New Shares will, subject to ASX approval, occur shortly after allotment. If ASX does not grant quotation of the New Shares, the Company will repay all Application Monies (without interest). It is expected that trading on ASX of New Shares to be issued under the Offer will commence at 10.00am (Sydney time) on 26 May 2023 on a normal settlement basis. Application Monies will be held by the Company 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 prior to trading in the New Shares. The Company will have no responsibility and disclaims all liability (to the maximum extent permitted by law) to persons who trade New Shares they believe will be issued to them before they receive their holding statements, whether on the basis of confirmation of the allocation provided by the Company or failure to maintain their updated details with the Company's Share Registry or otherwise, or who otherwise trade or purport to trade New Shares in error or which they do not hold or are not entitled to.
If you are in any doubt as to these matters, you should first consult with your stockbroker, solicitor, accountant, financial adviser or other professional adviser.
6.9 Notice to nominees and custodian
If the Company believes you hold Shares as a nominee or custodian you will have received, or will shortly receive, a letter in respect of the Offer. Nominees and custodians should consider carefully the contents of that letter.
Persons acting as nominees for other persons must not take up Entitlements on behalf of, or send any documents related to the Offer to, any person in the United States or any person that is acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States. Persons in the United States and persons acting for the account or benefit of persons in the United States will not be able to take up or exercise Entitlements and may receive no value for any such Entitlements held.
26
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES
==> picture [57 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
The Company is not required to determine whether or not any registered holder or investor is acting as a nominee or custodian or the identity or residence of any beneficial owners of Shares or Entitlements. Where any person is acting as a nominee or custodian for a foreign person, that person, in dealing with its beneficiary, will need to assess whether indirect participation in the Offer by the beneficiary complies with applicable foreign laws. The Company is not able to advise on foreign laws.
Nominees and custodians may not send copies of this Offer Booklet, the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form, or the accompanying ASX Announcements (including the Company's Investor Presentation included as part of this Offer Booklet), or any other material relating to the Offer, to persons in the United States or to any person acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States (to the extent such person holds Shares and is acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States) or in any other jurisdiction outside Australia or New Zealand.
Nominees and custodians may not submit an application or otherwise accept the Offer on behalf of a person in the United States or any other country outside Australia and New Zealand.
6.10 Not investment advice
This Offer Booklet is not a prospectus, product disclosure statement or other form of disclosure document under the Corporations Act and has not been lodged with ASIC. It is also not financial product advice and has been prepared without taking into account your investment objectives, financial circumstances or particular needs. The Company is not licensed to provide financial product advice in respect of the New Shares.
