LETTER FROM THE CHAIR
17 March 2025
Dear Shareholder
As a valued Shareholder, I am pleased to invite you to participate in a 1 for 8 pro-rata traditional nonrenounceable entitlement offer of new fully paid ordinary shares in the Company ( New Shares ) at an offer price of $0.095 per New Share ( Offer Price ) to raise gross proceeds of up to approximately $7.7 million ( Offer ).
The proceeds of the Offer will be applied principally to progressing the Jervois Project towards production as follows:[1]
-
Corporate financial advisor(s) to deliver project funding required for construction.
-
Project execution, planning and independent technical review.
-
Corporate and site overheads.
-
Initial siteworks enabling critical path activities.
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 6 March 2025 (and included in this Offer Booklet in Section 5).
The Offer is not underwritten, and is subject to a minimum raise condition of $3 million. Funding received from the minimum raise will primarily be used to progress the funding arrangements for the Jervois Project and corporate and site overheads. Any funds in excess of the minimum raise will be applied towards project execution, planning and finalisation of the independent technical review, and initial siteworks enabling critical path activities. The Board reserves the right to change the allocation of funds where there are changes, for example, in market conditions, exploration priorities or strategic objectives.
This Offer Booklet relates to the Offer. Under the Offer, Eligible Shareholders are entitled to acquire 1 New Share for every 8 Shares held at 7.00pm (Sydney time) on 12 March 2025 ( 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 $0.095 per New Share. The issue price of $0.095 per New Share represents a 5% discount to the closing price of Shares on 5 March 2025 (being the last trading day before announcement of the Offer), and a 3% discount to the TERP of $0.099.[2]
New Shares issued through the Offer will rank equally with existing Shares on issue.
1 An exact breakdown of the use of funds is detailed on slide 8 of the Company’s Investor Presentation lodged with ASX on 6 March 2025 (and included in this Offer Booklet in Section 5).
2 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 $$0.102 per Share on 5 March 2025, being the last trading day prior to the announcement of the Offer.

1. OVERVIEW OF OFFER
1.1 Offer
The Offer is an offer of up to approximately 81,014,131 New Shares at the Offer Price of $0.095 per New Share, to raise up to approximately $7.7 million. All Eligible Shareholders are entitled to subscribe for 1 New Share for every 8 Shares held at the Record Date, being 7.00pm (Sydney time) on 12 March 2025.
The proceeds of the Offer will be applied principally to progressing the Jervois Project towards production as follows:[5]
-
Corporate financial advisor(s) to deliver project funding required for construction.
-
Project execution, planning and independent technical review.
-
Corporate and site overheads.
-
Initial siteworks enabling critical path activities.
Eligible Shareholders who take up their full Entitlement may also participate in the top-up facility ( TopUp Facility ) by applying for additional New Shares 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 uncapped. Additional New Shares under the Top-Up Facility will only be allocated to Eligible Shareholders if available and to the extent that the Directors of the Company so determine, in their absolute discretion. If you apply for additional New Shares there is no guarantee that you will be allocated any additional New Shares.
In particular, an Eligible Shareholder 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 Shareholder to breach any applicable law, including but not limited to section 606 of the Corporations Act.
The Offer is not underwritten, and is subject to a minimum raise condition of $3 million. Funding received from the minimum raise will primarily be used to progress the funding arrangements for the Jervois Project and corporate and site overheads. Any funds in excess of the minimum raise will be applied towards project execution, planning and finalisation of the independent technical review, and initial siteworks enabling critical path activities. The Board reserves the right to change the allocation of funds where there are changes, for example, in market conditions, exploration priorities or strategic objectives.
The Offer is non ‑ renounceable. Accordingly, Entitlements do not trade on ASX, nor can they be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of.
Substantial Shareholder, KMP, which has an interest in the Company of approximately 35.14%, has committed to take up its Entitlement in full.[6]
The Offer opens on 17 March 2025. This Offer Booklet will be despatched on that same date, along with a personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form, to Eligible Shareholders. The Offer is expected to close at 5.00pm (Sydney time) on 26 March 2025.
5 An exact breakdown of the use of funds is detailed on slide 8 of the Company’s Investor Presentation lodged with ASX on 6 March 2025 (and included in this Offer Booklet in Section 5).
6 The Company sought and received relief from ASIC such that Chapter 6 of the Corporations Act applies to the Company as if Item 10(b) of section 611 of the Corporations Act were modified by inserting after the words “ offers are made to every person who holds securities ” the words “ with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand ”.

The Offer is being made pursuant to section 708AA of the Corporations Act, which allows the Offer to be offered without a prospectus, provided certain conditions are satisfied.
As a result, the Offer is not being made under a prospectus and it is important for Eligible Shareholders to read and understand the information on the Company and the Offer made publicly available by the Company, prior to taking up all or part of their Entitlement. In particular, please refer to the materials enclosed in Section 5, the Company's interim and annual reports, other
announcements made available at www2.asx.com.au (including the Company's 2024 annual report which was released to ASX on 24 September 2024 and the Company’s 2025 half year financial report which was released to ASX on 6 March 2025) and all other parts of this Offer Booklet carefully before making any decisions in relation to your Entitlement.
1.2 Eligible Shareholders
The Offer constitutes an offer to Eligible Shareholders only, being Shareholders who:
-
are registered as a holder of Shares as at the Record Date, being 7.00pm (Sydney time) on 12 March 2025;
-
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 eligible to participate – if you are a Shareholder with a registered address in the United States of America, Singapore, Hong Kong, the British Virgin Islands, Ireland, Germany, or the United Kingdom please refer to Section 6.12 for further information in this regard;
-
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 for the account or benefit of such person in the United States) unless allowed under the applicable security laws; and
-
are eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Offer.
All Shareholders who are not Eligible Shareholders are Ineligible Shareholders. Ineligible Shareholders will be separately notified and will not be entitled to participate in the Offer.
The Company has determined that it would be unreasonable on this occasion to extend the Offer to Ineligible Shareholders, having regard to the number of Shares held by Ineligible Shareholders, the number and value of New Shares that they would be offered, and the costs of complying with the legal and regulatory requirements which would apply to an offer of Shares.
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.

1.3 Capital structure
On the basis that the Company completes the Offer, the Company's indicative capital structure immediately following completion of the Offer will be as follows:
| Number of Shares (if full amount is raised under the Offer) |
Number of Shares (if only minimum raise amount is raised under the Offer) |
Number of unquoted performance options |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| Number on issue as at the date of this Offer Booklet |
648,113,048 | 648,113,048 | 194,000 |
| Number to be issued under the Offer(1) |
81,014,131 | 31,578,947 | Nil |
| Total on issue following the Offer |
729,127,179 | 679,691,995 | 194,000 |
Notes:
(1) This is subject to reconciliation of Entitlements, and assumes that no Shares are issued pursuant to the exercise / vesting of unquoted performance options.
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 6 March 2025.
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 35.14%), will remain at approximately 35.14%.
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.

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 and, subject to Section 6.12, the United States of America, Singapore, Hong Kong, the British Virgin Islands, Ireland, Germany and the United Kingdom, 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.
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 uncapped.
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
18
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES
==> picture [57 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
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 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 by direct credit to the nominated bank account as noted on the Share register as at the Closing Date. If you wish to advise or change your banking instructions with the Company's Share Registry you may do so by going to www.linkmarketservices.com.au and following the instructions.
3.10 Allocation policy
Each Eligible Top-Up Facility Participant who has applied for Shortfall Shares through the Top-Up Facility will be allocated Shortfall Shares, subject to the allocation not resulting in an Eligible Top-Up Facility Participant’s voting power in the Company increasing above 20% in breach of section 606 of the Corporations Act. If:
-
there is an oversubscription for Shortfall Shares the Company will scale back allocations for Shortfall Shares at the Directors' sole discretion between Eligible Top-Up Facility Participant applying for Shortfall Shares; or
-
following the allocation in the paragraph immediately above there remains any Shortfall Shares, the Directors reserve the right, subject to any restrictions imposed by the Corporations Act and Listing Rules, to issue the unallocated Shortfall Shares at their sole discretion.
3.11 Brokerage
No brokerage fee is payable by Eligible Shareholders who accept their Entitlement.
The Company has agreed to pay a 1% broker handling fee capped at $150 per Eligible Shareholder to participating brokers.
3.12 Enquiries

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 certain incidental costs in acquiring, holding and disposing of 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 Dividends in relation to New Shares
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.
4.4 Disposal of New Shares
The New Shares should constitute CGT assets for CGT purposes.
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 certain 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.
Eligible 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 Eligible Shareholders, such as Australian tax resident individuals or complying superannuation entities, 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 12 months or more prior to disposal (not including the acquisition date and the disposal date). 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. Eligible Shareholders that are trusts or partnerships should seek separate independent professional advice as to the circumstances in which a beneficiary or a partner may be entitled to a CGT discount.
The CGT discount is generally not available for Eligible Shareholders that are companies.

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.
4.5 Non-resident CGT withholding
Specific rules can apply to the disposal of certain taxable Australian property whereby a 15% non-final withholding tax may be applied. However, the rules should not apply to the disposal of a New Share on ASX (in accordance with a specific exemption).
4.6 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.
4.7 Other Australian taxes
GST should not generally be payable in relation to the issue, exercise or lapse of Entitlements, nor in relation to the acquisition of New Shares.
Eligible Shareholders should not be liable for stamp duty in relation to the issue, exercise or lapse of Entitlements. In relation to the acquisition of New Shares, stamp duty should not generally be payable unless Eligible Shareholders acquire, either alone or with an associated/related person or as part of a single arrangement or an associated transaction with other persons, an interest of 90% or more in the Company. Under current stamp duty legislation, no stamp duty would ordinarily be payable by transferor Shareholders on any subsequent transfer of Shares while the Shares remain quoted on the ASX.
Shareholders should seek their own advice as to the impact of stamp duty in their own particular circumstances.
Eligible Shareholders may 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.

6.1 Ineligible Shareholders
This Offer Booklet contains an offer of New Shares to Eligible Shareholders has been prepared in accordance with section 708AA of the Corporations Act.
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 12 March 2025;
-
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 – if you are a Shareholder with a registered address in the United States of America, Singapore, Hong Kong, the British Virgin Islands, Ireland, Germany, or the United Kingdom please refer to Section 6.12 for further information;
-
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
24

==> picture [57 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
Shares and is acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States) unless allowed under the applicable security laws; and
- 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, New Zealand, the United States of America, Hong Kong, Singapore, Germany, the British Virgin Islands, Ireland and the United Kingdom, 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 and making a payment by EFT, 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 6 March 2025 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.
25
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES
==> picture [57 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
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 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 26 March 2025, 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 3 April 2025 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.

Jervois Copper Project Update | March 2025 | ASX:KGL
Funding for Project Construction
-
Company can now actively engage with equity and debt investors as part of the capital raising process for project development.
-
The Project is expected to be funded via a combination of equity, term and working capital debt.
-
KGL is appointing a financial advisor(s) to assist in structuring and funding process for the Jervois Project.
-
Equity discussions include institutional investors, strategic partnering and other investors.
-
This process will run in parallel with the senior debt and working capital process and will support an optimised funding package for construction through to steady state concentrate production and sales.
-
The Project’s total funding requirement amounts to $498m peaking during Q1 2027 (pre-financing costs) comprised of:
-
Pre-production capital costs of A$362 million.
-
Working capital A$136 million – primarily open pit ramp up prior to plant commissioning.
-
Additional support from Federal Government funding initiatives will be targeted.
-
Project Construction is expected to commence in 2[nd] half calendar 2025[1] .
-
The Project is expected to bring significant employment and economic benefits to the Northern Territory including economic development, regional infrastructure, opportunities for Indigenous engagement, employment and royalties.
Note 1: Timeframes to construction and mining referred to in this presentation assume that the necessary project funding (debt and equity/partnership) package for construction can be procured in the coming months without any substantive delay. Successful project financing for the Jervois Project will depend on a range of factors, many of which are outside of KGL’s control. For more information refer to the risk: "FID delay risk" on slide 27 for more information.

Robust 10 year mine life with upside potential
-
✓ Proportion of lower cost open cut ore (now primarily all Proven reserves) has increased from 25% to 41% of total ore mined. (FSU25 vs FS22).
-
✓ Additional adjacent open pit areas are being considered.
-
✓ Installed processing plant capacity enables incremental concentrate output above current plan.
-
✓ Simple payback is achieved during the period of open pit ore feed to mill (incl. underground pre-production costs).
-
✓ Mill feed transitions to underground ore in year 4 with the average Cu Eq. grade @ 2.2%, peaking in year 7 to c.3% Cu Eq., as mining progresses deeper.
-
✓ Steady state production avg. 30 ktpa Cu contained in concentrate. (~34 ktpa Cu Eq. payable).
-
✓ All lodes remain open, laterally and at depth.
-
✓ Proven and Probable Reserves: 14.4Mt at 2.1% Cu Eq. ✓ 87% of LOM ore tonnage.

Copper outlook is robust
Market Outlook
Supply Demand Forecast[2]
-
S&P Global “demand for refined copper will double … by 2035”.
-
Demand forecasts reflect global commitments to achieve Net Zero by 2050 with electric vehicles and the grid key demand drivers + traditional demand growth.
Demand
-
At COP28 climate change conference, over 60 countries endorsed a plan to triple global renewable energy capacity by 2030.
-
Accelerating demand expected from the clean energy transition, data centres and AI, defence industries and ongoing industrial demand in China, India and SE Asia.
-
Clean energy technologies are more copper intensive.
Supply Constraint
-
“The pronounced lack of new projects has begun to bite, constraining refined copper production and spotlighting years of underinvestment in copper exploration and development”.[1]
-
The average time to progress projects from discovery to production is around 16 years.[3]
-

Jervois Copper Project Update | March 2025 | ASX:KGL
Copper Market Forecast
-
The world cannot decarbonise without copper , a key component of renewables and electrification. According to Wood Mackenzie, copper demand is expected to rise by 75% by 2050, reaching 56 million tonnes, driven by the clean energy transition, urbanization, and electrification, which will require significant investment in new copper projects to meet this growing demand. (August 2024).
-
Global copper demand is expected to accelerate for the period 2021-2035 to grow at 2.6% annually or roughly 1 Mt copper demand growth per year compared with a 1.9% CAGR over the past 15 years. Surging demand is being driven by the simultaneous adoption of copper-intensive technologies, such as electric vehicles (EVs), renewable energy systems, grid investments, and data centres, alongside increased military demand and continued economic development in emerging markets.
Bloomberg NEF Transition Metals Outlook 2023
-
Lower grades and increased depth and complexity of deposits, present significant challenges for primary supply . Growing regulatory, environmental and sustainability commitments have increased the time and cost of developing a mine, and this inflationary trend may prove stubbornly persistent. The long lead times to develop new mines are hampering any meaningful supply response.
-
According to Bloomberg NEF (2023), the copper market is forecast to move into a growing deficit through this decade, and to grow quickly to expand to a large deficit of 21 million tonnes per year by 2050 . Illustrating this, the orange line in the adjacent chart represents supply, and the shaded area represents demand (and its constituents by use type).
-
According to BHP, “with the deficit conditions anticipated in the final third of the 2020s, it is possible that we enter into a “fly-up” pricing regime , whereby prices disconnect from the cost curve due to systematic excess of demand over supply amid inadequate inventory levels”.

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 and Going Concern
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.

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.

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’).
Final Investment Decision (FID) delay risk
FID delay can occur due to a number of factors, including financing issues, market demand, third party consents and regulatory approvals. There are a variety of factors beyond the Company’s control which may delay achieving FID for the Jervois Project, for example, ongoing inflationary pressure resulting in construction cost increases. Financiers will critically assess the Feasibility Study undertaken by the Company for the Jervois Project, particularly the assumptions that the Company has made in respect of some of the key sensitivities to the free cashflow, including sale prices and operating costs. That assessment may identify risks that the Company needs to address prior to any commitment from financiers. For example, such an assessment may require changes to the proposed front end engineering design for the Jervois Project, and or necessitate some or all of the sales of copper being hedged. Delays in FID can, in turn, result in cost escalations due to inflationary pressure and supply chain disruptions. Delays in FID may also jeopardise the availability of long lead items, causing further delays. Any material delays in achieving FID may also adversely affect KGL's share price and require interim equity funding to support KGL's ongoing operations until the Jervois Project is successfully commissioned.

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 reopened, 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.

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.

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.

Copper Equivalent calculation basis for Mineral Resource Estimate
-
Copper Equivalent uses a copper price of USD $4.90/lb, silver price of USD $32/oz and a gold price of USD $2400/oz, and a Bi penalty of US$1.5/dmt for every 100ppm over 1200ppm in the concentrate. Fresh recoveries; Copper 92.7%, silver 65%, gold 65%, and bismuth 65%. Oxide recoveries; Copper 50%, silver 45%, gold 45%, and bismuth 50%. E.g. Cu 0.5%, Ag 20 g/t, Au 0.2 g/t and 100ppm Bi, the formula is Cu % + 0.478 x Au g/t +0.0068 x Ag g/t - 0.000074 x Bi ppm.
-
The recoveries assumed in the calculation are based upon detailed testwork as detailed in the Feasibility Study Update released to the market on 10 February 2025.
-
It is the Company’s opinion that all the elements included in the metal equivalents calculation have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold.
