1
speculative.

Risks
You should read this Prospectus in its entirety and, if in any doubt, consult your professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Securities. There are risks associated with an investment in the Company. The Securities offered under this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to return on capital investment, payment of dividends or the future value of the Securities.

Forward-looking statements
This Prospectus contains forwardlooking statements which are identified by words such as ‘may’, ‘could’, ‘believes’, ‘estimates’, ‘targets’, ‘expects’, or ‘intends’ and other similar words that involve risks and uncertainties.
These statements are based on an assessment of present economic and operating conditions, and on a number of assumptions regarding future events and actions that, as at the date of this Prospectus, are expected to take place.
Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, the Directors and the Company’s management.
The Company cannot and does not give any assurance that the results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus will actually occur and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
The Company has no intention to update or revise forward-looking statements, or to publish prospective financial information in the future, regardless of whether new information, future events or any other factors affect the information contained in this Prospectus, except where required by law.
These forward looking statements are subject to various risk factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or anticipated in these statements. These risk factors are set out in Section 7.
Financial Forecasts
The Directors have considered the matters set out in ASIC Regulatory Guide 170 and believe that they do not have a reasonable basis to forecast future earnings on the basis that the operations of the Company are inherently uncertain. Accordingly, any forecast or projection information would contain such a broad range of potential outcomes and possibilities that it is not possible to prepare a reliable best estimate forecast or projection.
Competent Persons statement
The information in the Investment Overview Section of the Prospectus, included at Section 3, the Company and Projects Overview, included at Section 5, and the Independent Geologist’s Report, included at Annexure A of the Prospectus, which relate to exploration results, is based on information compiled by Mr Roderick Carlson and Mr Andrew Proudman.

Resources and Ore Reserves’ (the JORC Code ). Messrs Carlson and Proudman are employees of AMC Consultants Pty Ltd. Messrs Carlson and Proudman each consent to the inclusion of the information in these Sections of the Prospectus in the form and context in which it appears.
The information in the JORC Code (2012 Edition) Table 1 included at Annexure D of the Prospectus, which relate to exploration results, is based on information compiled by Ms Kathryn Cutler. Ms Cutler has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which she is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 edition of the JORC Code.

Ms Cutler has consented to the inclusion of the information in Annexure D of the Prospectus in the form and context in which it appears.
Continuous disclosure obligations
Following admission of the Company to the Official List, the Company will be a “disclosing entity” (as defined in section 111AC of the Corporations Act) and, as such, will be subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations. Specifically, like all listed companies, the Company will be required to continuously disclose any information it has to the market which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or the value of the Securities.
Price sensitive information will be publicly released through ASX before it is disclosed to Shareholders and market participants. Distribution of other information to Shareholders and market participants will also be managed through disclosure to the ASX. In addition, the Company will post this information on its website after the ASX confirms an announcement has been made, with the aim of making the information readily accessible to the widest audience.

Clearing House Electronic SubRegister System (CHESS) and Issuer Sponsorship
The Company will apply to participate in CHESS, for those investors who have, or wish to have, a sponsoring stockbroker. Investors who do not wish to participate through CHESS will be issuer sponsored by the Company.
Electronic sub-registers mean that the Company will not be issuing certificates to investors. Instead, investors will be provided with statements (similar to a bank account statement) that set out the number of Securities issued to them under this Prospectus. The notice will also advise holders of their Holder Identification Number or Security Holder Reference Number and explain, for future reference, the sale and purchase procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship.
Electronic sub-registers also mean ownership of securities can be transferred without having to rely upon paper documentation. Further monthly statements will be provided to holders if there have been any changes in their security holding in the Company during the preceding month.

| Further information |
Further information |
|||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Item | Summary | Further information |
||
| There can be no assurance that future exploration of these licences, or any other mineral licences that may be acquired in the future, will result in the discovery of an economic resource. Even if an apparently viable resource is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited. The future exploration activities of the Company may be affected by a range of factors including geological conditions, |
||||
| limitations on activities due to seasonal weather patterns or adverse weather conditions, unanticipated operational and technical difficulties, difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment, mechanical failure or plant breakdown, unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect extraction costs, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes, unexpected shortages and increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant, equipment and staff, |
||||
| native title process, changing government regulations and many other factors beyond the control of the Company. |
||||
| Contractual risk |
The Company’s interest in the Ravenswood North Project is subject to an option and joint venture agreement with 1315795 B.C. Ltd., a company incorporated in British Columbia (Option and Joint Venture Agreement). The ability of the Company to achieve its stated objectives will |
Section 7.2 | ||
| depend on the performance by the parties of their obligations under these agreements. If the Company is unable to satisfy its undertakings under these agreements the Company’s interest in their subject matter may be jeopardised. If any party defaults in the performance of their obligations, it may be necessary for the Company to approach a court to seek a leal remed which can be costl |
||||
| g y, y. The material terms of the Option and Joint Venture Agreement are summarised in Section 9.2.1. |
||||
| Tenure, access and grant of applications |
Applications The tenements comprising the Projects (Tenements) are at various stages of application and grant, specifically the Tenements comprising the Mt Rawdon West Project and the |
Section 7.2 | ||
| Balfour Project are still under application. There can be no assurance that the tenement applications that are currently pending will be granted. There can be no assurance that when the tenement is granted, it will be granted in its entirety. Additionally, some of the tenement areas applied for may be excluded. The Company is unaware of any circumstances that would prevent the tenement application from being granted, other than the competing applications, however the |
||||
| consequence of being denied the applications for reasons beyond the control of the Company could be significant specifically for the Mt Rawdon West Project and the Balfour Project. Refer to the Solicitor’s Report on Tenements in Annexure B for further information on the Company’s tenement applications. Renewal Mining and exploration tenements are subject to periodic |
||||
renewal. The renewal of the term of granted tenements is subject to compliance with the applicable mining legislation and |
10
| Item | Summary | Further information |
||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| regulations and the discretion of the relevant mining authority. Renewal conditions may include increased expenditure and work commitments or compulsory relinquishment of areas of the tenements. The imposition of new conditions or the inability to meet those conditions may adversely affect the operations, financial position and/or performance of the Company. The Company considers the likelihood of tenure forfeiture to be |
||||
| low given the laws and regulations governing exploration in Queensland and Western Australia and the ongoing expenditure budgeted for by the Company. However, the consequence of forfeiture or involuntary surrender of a granted tenements for reasons beyond the control of the Company could be significant. Access A number of the Tenements overlap certain third party interests tht m limit th Cmn’ bilit t ndt lrtin |
||||
| a ay e opays ay o couc expoao activities including private land, Crown Reserves, pastoral leases, environmentally sensitive areas and defence training land. The Company’s subsidiaries have entered into the following native title and heritage agreements: (a) a Native Title Heritage Protection and Mineral Exploration Agreement dated 11 December 2019 in relation to E80/5100, E80/5101, E80/5102 and E80/5103; |
||||
| and (b) a Cultural Heritage and Exploration Agreement in regard to EPM 26908 with the Birriah Aboriginal Corporation RNTBC ICN 8261 on its own behalf and on behalf of the Birriah People (Birriah Aboriginal Corporation). The Company has confirmed that, to the best of its knowledge, th rmnt rmit th Cmn t ndrtk it |
||||
| ese ageees pe e opay o ueae s proposed exploration activities on the areas of the Tenements that overlap with the recorded Aboriginal Heritage Sites AAM Australia entered into a deed of access with the Commonwealth of Australia with respect to tenements EPM 26890 and EPM 26892. The Company has confirmed that, to the best of its knowledge, this deed of access permits the Company to undertake its proposed exploration activities on the areas of |
||||
| EPM 26890 and EPM 26892 that overlap the Dotswood Training Area. Please refer to the Solicitor’s Report on Tenements in Annexure B for further details. |
||||
| Native title and Aboriginal Heritage |
In relation to tenements which the Company has an interest in or will in the future acquire such an interest, there may be areas over which legitimate common law native title rights of Aboriginal |
Section 7.2 | ||

5.2.2 West Tanami Project
Summary
The West Tanami Project is a district scale project in Western Australia. The project is approximately 1900kms north-east of Perth and 200kms south-east of Halls Creek. The tenement package covers 100kms strike of the major structural corridor host to the many structurally controlled orogenic gold deposits of the Tanami, including the Granites, Callie, Twin Bonanza and Coyote.
Killi’s tenement package covers 1,634km[2 ] in this underexplored, yet well mineralised gold province. This project has been exposed to exploration in the past, however it has never been systematically tested to bedrock.
27
Location and Tenements
The West Tanami Project consists of four granted exploration licenses ( ELs ) in WA, covering 1,634km[2 ] west of the WA/NT border. The tenement package is accessed via the Tanami Road from Halls Creek to Alice Springs, refer to Figure 3. There are no production or infrastructure permits within the EL’s, and no current restrictions on the activities that can be conducted on the EL’s.
Previous Exploration
Exploration in the Tanami Province has generally focused on gold prospectivity, above all other commodities.
The Granites Goldfield and Central Tanami site in the Tanami were first mined in the early 1900s and sporadically thereafter. It has been a region of extensive greenfields and brownfields exploration since the 1980s. In the 1990s mining commenced at Dead Bullock Ridge, Triumph and Colliwobble deposits on the Schist Hills Iron Member and Villa. During this period the Callie gold deposit was discovered and developed into an open pit. The open pit then developed into an underground operation with the discovery of Auron, Federation, Liberator and Lantin, run by Newmont Corporation (Newmont).
Modern mining was conducted at the Tanami gold mine with Zapopan NL and ceased in 1994. In 1995 Central Tanami established a multiple-pit mining operation and produced 700,000 ounces of gold before ceasing operations.
Groundrush was then discovered by Normandy NFM in 1999, with mining conducted between 2001 and 2005, and milling conducted by Central Tanami Operations.
In 2015 Northern Star Resources Limited ( Northern Star ) acquired a 25% interest in the Central Tanami operations from Tanami Gold. In 2017, Northern Star acquired the remaining 75% stake in the Western Tanami operations from Tanami Gold.

Figure 3 - Location of West Tanami Project and tenements, over topography, Western Australia.
Geology
The geology of the Tanami region comprises a Paleoproterozoic sequence of folded metasediments and minor metavolcanic and intrusive rocks unconformably overlying Archaean basement. Granitoid lithologies constitute approximately 60% of the geology of the Tanami Region, as monzogranites and granodiorites. In the Tanami Gold Province, the prospective Tanami Group geology is largely buried by laterally extensive cover and hence the underlying geology has been interpreted from geophysical and drillhole data, refer to Figure 4.
Throughout the region, most gold occurs in epigenetic quartz veins hosted by metasediments and mafic rocks belonging to the Tanami Group and overlying Ware Group. Many of the deposits are hosted within the hinges of anticlines, whereas others are located within structurally complex fault or shear zones in association with brittle host rocks. Western Tanami gold mineralisation is hosted within carbonaceous siltstones, ferruginous siltstones and shales, chert, basalt, dolerite and sediments subjected to amphibolite to lower greenschist facies metamorphism.
The West Tanami Project tenements are dominated by the sedimentary units of the Killi Formation and Stubbins Formation, and to a lesser extend the Slatey Creek Granite and structures. The Killi Formation is host to the Coyote deposit, with the geology interpreted as turbiditic sandstone successions. The Stubbins Formation is a thick lower turbiditic succession of sandstone, siltstone, shale and dolerite sills overlain by an upper 200m thick succession of iron-rich siltstones and shale, carbonaceous shale, chert, pillow basalts, dolerite sills and rhyolite.

Figure 4 - Surface Geology of the West Tanami Project, dominated by surface alluvial and aeolian cover.
Mineralisation
The West Tanami Project tenements are prospective for Proterozoic, structural controlled orogenic gold mineralisation in structural and vein systems within sediments and intrusive units, such as the Kookaburra (0.2Moz Au) and Coyote (0.5Moz Au) deposits located outside the tenements. Other gold deposits nearby, include Dead Bullock Soak, including Callie (13Moz Au), Tanami Goldfields (3Moz Au) and the Granites (1.3MozAu), that all occur in the Northern Territory.
High-level interpretations of existing datasets have been completed within the context of the regional mineralisation controls, with the delineation of multiple gold and arsenic anomalies. Existing work has focused on shallow exploration, despite the evidence of a large mineralised system, with targets rarely tested by RC or diamond drilling.
Kookaburra, Coyote, Tanami goldfields and Groundrush deposits were all associated with large gravity highs, while the other deposits of the Granites, Dead Bullock Soak and Twin Bonanza were associated with more subtle gravity highs. The West Tanami Project tenements include both large areas of gravity highs and areas with lower gravity levels.
Exploration Prospects
The four main prospects which were determined from the high-level interpretations were Hermes, Yosemite, Tent Hill and Slatey Creek, refer to Figure 5.
30
==> picture [390 x 297] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 5- Interpreted Bedrock Geology of the West Tanami Project, with current and historical gold operations of the province, with Killi tenements and gold prospects.
The Hermes prospect is made up of three areas know as Hermes, Hermes South and Casper, which correlate with a gravity low. Low level geochemical anomalies in the form of elevated gold (>50ppb Au) and arsenic (>100ppb As) in soils, refer to refer to Figure 6. There were RAB and AC drill program completed on 1600m x 100m grid spacing, followed by 400m x 200m over some of the targets. The results were promising with 3m @ 1.0g/t Au from 24m (bottom of hole). Further details of testing at the Hermes prospect are outlined in Table 2.4 of the Independent Geologist Report.
At Yosemite there is evidence that mineralisation in the form of drill intercepts of 3m @ 1.69g/t Au, 1m @ 2.5g/t Au and 6m @ 1.41g/t Au all off the tenement, extends into Killi ground. The existing anomaly off tenement is 8km long and remains untested along strike and at depth on the Killi tenement. Of note an similar telescoping geology signature, to that of Yosemite has been interpreted on Killi tenements to the east of the Yosemite prospect, and provides an ideal target, refer to Figure 7.

Tent Hill is the third prospect, with past exploration identifying gold in drill holes, anomalous gold in soils, and outcropping favourable geology to the east. This includes grade intercepts of 1m @ 3.9g/t and 1m @ 9.1g/t Au. The bedrock beneath the cover remains largely untested by drilling, refer to Figure 8. Further details of drilling results at the Tent Hill prospect are outlined in Table 2.1 of the Independent Geologist Report.

Slatey Creek was first explored by Barrick in 1995, comprising of mapping, rock chip, soil and lag sampling. The geology draws parallels with the Dead Bullock Soak geology, host to Callie gold mine, with rock chip samples confirming gold is present with anomalous grade up to 2.5g/t Au. Wide spacing VAC drilling has been completed on a grid of 800m x 200m in this area, however, rarely exceeds 10m.

5.2.3 Ravenswood North Project
Summary
The Ravenswood North Project consists of five granted EPMs in the Charter TowersRavenswood region of Queensland covering 582km[2 ] of prospective ground. There are no production or infrastructure permits within the EPM’s, and no known restrictions on the activities that can be conducted on the ground.
The licence package is prospective for Devonian to Permian-aged intrusion related gold deposits, such as the Ravenswood goldfield (10Moz Au), Kidston (4Moz Au), Mt Leyshon (3Moz Au), Mt Wright (1.5Moz) and Reward (0.2Moz Au) deposits.
AAM Australia has entered into an option and joint venture agreement with 1315795 B.C Ltd, ( Numberco ) ( Option and Joint Venture Agreement ), whereby AAM Australia granted Numberco the exclusive right and option to earn-in up to a 70% interest in the Tenements that comprise the Ravenswood North Project. The material terms and conditions of the Option and Joint Venture Agreement are summarised in Section 9.2.1.
Historical Mining
There is no historic mining of any significance within the granted tenure. Historical shafts are adjacent at the Mt Success/Golden Valley excision, and to the southeast at the Ravenswood Gold Mine.
Geology
The basement for the Ravenswood North Project area consists of metasediments of the Charter Towers Metamorphics. The sedimentary sequence has been deformed into regional scale open folds trending west-northwest, parallel to the main fault fabric. Throughout the Province several high-level intrusive complexes have intruded these sediments and concentrated magmatic fluids along the contacts. The intrusive centres are commonly mineralised, and include the likes of Kitty O’Shea, Golden Valley and Mount Success, within close proximity to the tenements.
The Ravenswood North Project area has been divided into five prospect areas which are prospective for intrusion related gold systems ( IRG ) and orogenic gold hosted systems, Mt Hotspur, Rocky Bar, Mt Success, Mt Boddington and Dotswood, refer to Figure 10.
==> picture [561 x 89] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 10 Ravenswood North tenements and prospects over regional bedrock geology.
Mineralisation
The Mt Hotspur area is prospective for gold mineralisation with exploration of the area well documented since 1997. Geophysics, soil samples, rock chip samples and drilling has been completed, by Central Pacific Minerals NL and Carpentaria Gold Pty Ltd. The primary focus in this area being Mt Douglas, an interpreted intrusive centre. The geochemistry over the area is anomalous, which lead to IP and drilling being completed, with limited success. Six diamond holes were completed over the IP anomaly and produced average results, with the best result 7m @ 0.2g/t Au from 154m (MDD005). Further details of drilling anomalies at the Mt Douglas prospect are outlined in Table 3.1 of the Independent Geologist Report. Recent exploration in the form of ASTER imagery at Mt Hotspur highlights two IRG systems in the area. This new data and reinterpretation have identified a new near-surface high priority target, known as West Branch (refer to Figure 11and Figure 12).
The Mount Success area hosts a 100km long north-west trending structural corridor where several Permo-Carboniferous breccia-hosted intrusion related gold systems occur. Recent exploration work has identified three new targets on the project, which remain untested and second priority to Mt Douglas and West branch.
Rocky Bar prospect contains two prominent northeast trending structures known as the Keelbottom and Mt Success lineaments and are interpreted as regional linking structures or cross faults. Mapping has identified quartz veining at surface, and rock chip samples have returned anomalous gold results up to 17.4g/t Au.

5.2.4 Mt Rawdon West Project
The Mt Rawdon West Project comprises of one EPM application covering 292 km[2] , located around the Mt Perry project (owned by Solgold) and the Mt Rawdon Gold Mine (owned by Evolution Mining) in Queensland, refer to Figure 13. Historical exploration has identified copper and gold anomalism, within the northeast trending intrusion related mineralisation corridor. The main targets identified are at Wonbah, Wonbah Knob and Edina Ridge. The Mt Perry goldfields, which sit on the western boundary of the tenement, are known to contain multiple intrusion related gold deposits.
Wonbah is the primary target with a 3km by 1km copper-gold-molybdenum geochemical anomaly. The location of this anomaly coincides with the intersection of the regional controlling mineralisation faults.
Wonbah Knob contains evidence of historical mining with the presence of adits into a breccia pipe, approximately 150m in width. Historically, minor copper and gold were produced from the adits and small open pits. Grades were reported up to 2.1% copper from the adits and 1.4% copper form the outcrop.

5.2.5 Balfour Project
The Balfour project consists of one EL application covering 350km[2] , 125kms northeast of Newman in the Pilbara of Western Australia. The application is prospective for base metals associated with the rift boundary in the Pilbara region. The tenement covers 25kms of the interpreted strike length of the sub-basin. Two prospects have already been determined, Winterbrook and Whitewood, which occur equidistant along strike from the Nicholas Downs Manganese Project.
Winterbrook has an anomalous demagnetised zone stretching 6kms in length, accompanied with a gravity high, as well as a copper-zinc-arsenic anomaly from a soil program completed.
Whitewood has been flown with airborne electromagnetics which has highlighted anomalism with an overall northeast trend. Anomalous soil results are believed to be associated with intrusive dolerites, similar in geology to the rocks that host highgrade copper mineralisation at Ilgarari and Kumarina south-west of Balfour.

5.3 Business model
Following completion of the Capital Raising Offer, the Company’s proposed business model will be to further explore and develop the exploration prospects at the Projects. The Company’s main objectives will be to:
-
(a) focus on greenfield gold and copper exploration and other resource opportunities that have the potential to deliver growth for Shareholders;
-
(b) systematically explore and seek to develop the Projects;
-
(c) pursue acquisitions that have a strategic fit for the Company;
-
(d) implement a growth strategy to seek out further exploration and acquisition opportunities in Australia; and
38
- (e) provide working capital for the Company.
To achieve these objectives, following Official Quotation, the Company proposes to undertake the exploration programs set out below. These programs are designed to test the economic viability of the Projects, and results will determine the commercial viability and possible timing for the commencement of further work programs, including pre-feasibility studies and commencement of other mining operations on the Projects if warranted.
In order to manage these programs and subject to the results of each stage of work, the Company expects to supplement its existing personnel with additional technical expertise as and when needed with a mixture of both permanent and contractor positions.
The funds from the Capital Raising Offer together with existing cash reserves will allow the Company to further progress its business model.
5.4 Proposed Exploration Program
The Company proposes to undertake exploration across the Projects with the intention of demonstrating the economic potential of any potential mineralised zones.
The Company will undertake surface mapping geochemical and geophysical work across all the Projects. Exploration programs planned for each of the Projects will comprise:
(a) West Tanami Project
The Company intends to undertake a VTEM Survey scheduled to fly approximately 3,000 line kilometres over the project area to merge with existing datasets and provide information for target generation.
The Company will also undertake a ground gravity survey to delineate the intrusive targets more definitely. Two surveys are planned to focus the eastern and southern margins of the tenement package.
Aircore and reverse circulation drilling will follow on from the geophysical surveys. Initial aircore programs will start at the Lyrebird North, Hermes and Yosemite to test bedrock geochemistry. Anomalies from the aircore will then be follow-up by reverse circulation drilling.
(b) Ravenswood North Project
A VTEM survey has been planned to cover the entirety of the tenement package to assist with target generation. A soil geochemical program is planned to infill the existing datasets and assist with prioritising targets. Aircore and reverse circulation drilling is then planned to follow on from the geophysical surveys.
(c) Balfour Project and Mt Rawdon West Project
At the Balfour Project first pass aircore drilling followed by RC drilling is planned to test the Winterbrook copper/base metals target. Mapping and geochemical sampling will also be conducted to add further value to the Whitewood prospect.
39
At the Mt Rawdon West Project the Company has an aircore and reverse circulation drilling program planned to test Nickos Reward extension into the project area and also to test the Wonbah Geochemical target.

Notes:
-
Refer to the Financial Information set out in Section 6 for further details. The Company intends to apply these funds towards the purposes set out in this table, including the payment of the expenses of the Capital Raising Offer of which various amounts will be payable prior to completion of the Capital Raising Offer. Since balance date of pro forma balance sheet, the Company has expended approximately $50,000 on tenement management and general administration.
-
Refer to Section 5.4 and the Independent Geologist’s Report in Annexure A for further details with respect to the Company’s proposed exploration programs at the Projects.
-
The exploration program and proposed expenditure on the Ravenswood North Project assumes that Numberco does not exercise either the Second Option or Third Option under the Options and Joint Venture Agreement summarised in Section 9.2.1. In the event that Numberco exercises the Second Option and/or the Third Option, and funds expenditure of $1,300,000 on the Ravenswood North Project , the Company intends to reallocate funds to:
-
(a) Further geological work at the West Tanami Project including an additional gravity survey;
-
(b) Additional drilling on the West Tanami Project; and
40
-
(c) Addition of an Aircore and RC drill program at the Balfour Project and additional Aircore drilling and geophysics at Mt Rawdon West Project (subject to grant).
-
Refer to Section 10.9 for further details.
-
Administration costs include the general costs associated with the management and operation of the Company’s business including administration expenses, management salaries, directors’ fees, rent and other associated costs.
-
To the extent that:
-
(a) the Company’s exploration activities warrant further exploration activities; or
-
(b) the Company is presented with additional acquisition opportunities,
the Company’s working capital will fund such further exploration and acquisition costs (including due diligence investigations and expert’s fees in relation to such acquisitions). Any amounts not so expended will be applied toward administration costs for the period following the initial 2-year period following the Company’s quotation on ASX.
It is anticipated that the funds raised under the Capital Raising Offer will enable 2 years of full operations (if the Minimum Subscription is raised). It should be noted that the Company may not be fully self-funding through its own operational cash flow at the end of this period. Accordingly, the Company may require additional capital beyond this point, which will likely involve the use of additional debt or equity funding. Future capital needs will also depend on the success or failure of the Projects. The use of further debt or equity funding will be considered by the Board where it is appropriate to fund additional exploration on the Projects or to capitalise on acquisition opportunities in the resources sector.
The above table is a statement of current intentions as of the date of this Prospectus. As with any budget, intervening events (including exploration success or failure) and new circumstances have the potential to affect the manner in which the funds are ultimately applied. The Board reserves the right to alter the way funds are applied on this basis.
The Directors consider that following completion of the Capital Raising Offer, the Company will have sufficient working capital to carry out its stated objectives. It should however be noted that an investment in the Company is speculative, and investors are encouraged to read the risk factors outlined in Section 7.

While the ASX has not yet confirmed the final escrow position applicable to the Company’s Shareholders, the Company anticipates that the following Securities will be subject to escrow:
-
(a) 16,000,000 Shares held by the AAM Singapore Shareholders;
-
(b) 3,000,000 Shares held by seed investors;
-
(c) 3,000,000 Director and Management Options;
-
(d) 3,000,000 Advisor Options;
-
(e) 500,000 Broker Options; and
-
(f) 5,100,000 Performance Rights.
The number of Shares that are subject to ASX imposed escrow are at ASX’s discretion in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and underlying policy. The above is a good faith estimate of the Shares that are expected to be subject to ASX imposed escrow.
43
The Company will announce to the ASX full details (quantity and duration) of the Shares required to be held in escrow prior to the Shares commencing trading on ASX (which admission is subject to ASX’s discretion and approval).

6.10 Significant Accounting Policies
- (a) Basis of Preparation
Historical Cost Convention
The Financial Information has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. The Financial Information has also been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles of Australian Accounting Standards, and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board.
- (b) Going concern
The historical financial information has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the success of the fundraising under the Prospectus. The Directors believe that the Company will continue as a going concern. As a result, the financial information has been prepared on a going concern basis. However, should the fundraising under the Prospectus be unsuccessful, the entity may not be able to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made relating to the recoverability and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company not continue as a going concern.
51
(c) Income tax
The charge for current income tax is based on the profit/loss for the year adjusted for any non-assessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using the rates that have been enacted or are substantively enacted by the balance date.
Deferred tax is accounted for using the liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised, or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.
The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the Company will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.
(d) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
(e) Asset Acquisition Accounting
When an asset acquisition does not constitute a business combination, the assets and liabilities are assigned a carrying amount based on their relative fair values in an asset purchase transaction and no deferred tax will arise in relation to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities as the initial recognition exemption for deferred tax under AASB 12 applies. No goodwill will arise on the acquisition and transaction costs of the acquisition will be included in the capitalised costs of the asset.
(f) Exploration and evaluation expenditure
Mineral exploration and evaluation costs are expensed as incurred. Acquisition costs will normally be expensed but will be assessed on a case-by-case basis and if appropriate may be capitalised. These acquisition costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development or sale of
52
the tenement. Accumulated acquisition costs in relation to an abandoned tenement are written off in full against the profit and loss in the year which the decision to abandon the tenement is made. Where a decision has been made to proceed with development in respect of a particular area of interest, all future costs are recorded as a development asset.
(g) Revenue
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured.
Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and service tax (GST).
(h) Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial period which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
Due to their short-term nature, they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted.
(i) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the statement of financial position. Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority.
(j) Fair value measurement
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are reviewed at each reporting date and transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise is either not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are selected based
53
on market knowledge and reputation. Where there is a significant change in fair value of an asset or liability from one period to another, an analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the latest valuation and a comparison, where applicable, with external sources of data.
(k) Issued Capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
(l) Share-based payments
Equity settled transactions:
The Company provides benefits to employees (including senior executives) and consultants of the Company in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity settled transactions).
The cost of equity-settled transactions with employees and consultants is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an external valuer using the Black & Scholes option-pricing model. In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of Killi. The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the vesting period).
The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the Company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. The statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period. No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is only conditional upon a market condition.
If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee, measured at the modification date.
If an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted
54
for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.
The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share.

7.1 Introduction
The Shares offered under this Prospectus should be considered as highly speculative and an investment in the Company is not risk free.
The future performance of the Company and the value of the Shares may be influenced by a range of factors, many of which are largely beyond the control of the Company and the Directors. The key risks that have a direct influence on the Company, its Projects and activities are set out in Section 3. Those key risks as well as other risks associated with the Company’s business, the industry in which it operates and general risks applicable to all investments in listed securities and financial markets generally are described below.
The risks factors set out in this Section 7, or other risk factors not specifically referred to, may have a materially adverse impact on the performance of the Company and the value of the Shares. This Section 7 is not intended to provide an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed.
The Directors strongly recommend that prospective investors consider the risk factors set out in this Section 7, together with all other information contained in this Prospectus.
Before determining whether to invest in the Company you should ensure that you have a sufficient understanding of the risks described in this Section 7 and all of the other information set out in this Prospectus and consider whether an investment in the Company is suitable for you, taking into account your objectives, financial situation and needs.
If you do not understand any matters contained in this Prospectus or have any queries about whether to invest in the Company, you should consult your accountant, financial adviser, stockbroker, lawyer or other professional adviser.
7.2 Company specific risks
| Risk Category | Risk | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Limited history | The Company was only recently incorporated on 21 January 2021 | ||
| and has only limited operating history and limited historical financial performance. Limited exploration has previously been conducted on the area of land the subject of the Projects and the Company is yet to conduct its own exploration activities and will not commence these activities until the Company has been admitted to the Official List. No assurances can be given that the Company will achieve |
|||
| commercial viability through the successful exploration and/or mining of its Tenements. Until the Company is able to realise value from its Projects, it is likely to incur ongoing operating losses. |
|||
| Contractual risk | The Company’s interest in the Ravenswood North Project is subject to an option and joint venture agreement with 1315795 B.C. Ltd., a company incorporated in British Columbia (Option and Joint Venture Agreement). |
||

||
|---|---|---|---|
| Risk Category | Risk | ||
| The ability of the Company to achieve its stated objectives will depend on the performance by the parties of their obligations under these agreements. If the Company is unable to satisfy its undertakings under these agreements the Company’s interest in their subject matter may be jeopardised. If any party defaults in the performance of their obligations, it may be necessary for the Company to approach a court to seek a legal |
|||
remedy, which can be costly. The material terms of the Option and Joint Venture Agreement are summarised in Section 9.2.1. |
|||
| Exploration and operating |
The mineral exploration licences comprising the Projects are at various stages of exploration, and potential investors should understand that mineral exploration and development are high-risk undertakings. |
||
| There can be no assurance that future exploration of these licences, or any other mineral licences that may be acquired in the future, will result in the discovery of an economic resource. Even if an apparently viable resource is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited. The future exploration activities of the Company may be affected by a range of factors including geological conditions, limitations on |
|||
| activities due to seasonal weather patterns or adverse weather conditions, unanticipated operational and technical difficulties, difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment, mechanical failure or plant breakdown, unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect extraction costs, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes, unexpected shortages and increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant, equipment and staff, native title process, changing li d h f bd h l |

| Tenure, access and grant of applications |
Applications The tenements comprising the Projects (Tenements) are at various stages of application and grant, specifically the Tenements comprising the Mt Rawdon West Project and the Balfour Project are still under application. There can be no assurance that the tt liti tht tl di ill b td |
||
| enemen appcaons a are curreny penng w e grane. There can be no assurance that when the tenement is granted, it will be granted in its entirety. Additionally, some of the tenement areas applied for may be excluded. The Company is unaware of any circumstances that would prevent the tenement application from being granted, other than the competing applications, however the consequence of being denied the applications for reasons beyond the control of the Company could be significant ifill fr th Mt Rdn Wt Prt nd th Blfr Prt |

| speccay o e awo es ojec a e aou ojec. Refer to the Solicitor’s Report on Tenements in Annexure B for further information on the Company’s tenement applications. Renewal Mining and exploration tenements are subject to periodic renewal. The renewal of the term of granted tenements is subject to compliance with the applicable mining legislation and regulations and the discretion of the relevant mining authority. Renewal |
|||
conditions may include increased expenditure and work commitments or compulsory relinquishment of areas of the |
60
Risk Category Risk tenements. The imposition of new conditions or the inability to meet those conditions may adversely affect the operations, financial position and/or performance of the Company.
The Company considers the likelihood of tenure forfeiture to be low given the laws and regulations governing exploration in Queensland and Western Australia and the ongoing expenditure budgeted for by the Company. However, the consequence of forfeiture or involuntary surrender of a granted tenements for reasons beyond the control of the Company could be significant. Access
A number of the Tenements overlap certain third-party interests that may limit the Company’s ability to conduct exploration and exploration activities including Crown Reserves, pastoral leases, environmentally sensitive areas and defence training land. The Company’s subsidiaries have entered into the following native title and heritage agreements: (a) a Native Title Heritage Protection and Mineral Exploration Agreement dated 11 December 2019 in relation to E80/5100, E80/5101, E80/5102 and E80/5103; and (b) a Cultural Heritage and Exploration Agreement in regard to EPM 26908 with the Birriah Aboriginal Corporation RNTBC ICN 8261 on its own behalf and on behalf of the Birriah People (Birriah Aboriginal Corporation).
The Company has confirmed that, to the best of its knowledge, these agreements permit the Company to undertake its proposed exploration activities on the areas of the Tenements that overlap with the recorded Aboriginal Heritage Sites
AAM Australia entered into a deed of access with the Commonwealth of Australia with respect to tenements EPM 26890 and EPM 26892. The Company has confirmed that, to the best of its knowledge, this deed of access permits the Company to undertake its proposed exploration activities on the areas of EPM 26890 and EPM 26892 that overlap the Dotswood Training Area.
Please refer to the Solicitor’s Report on Tenements in Annexure B for further details and summarise of these access agreements.

||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Climate risk | There are a number of climate-related factors that may affect the | ||||||
| operations and proposed activities of the Company. The climate | |||||||
| change risks particularly attributable to the Company include: | |||||||
| (a) | the emergence of new or expanded regulations | ||||||
| associated with the transitioning to a lower-carbon | |||||||
| economy and market changes related to climate change | |||||||
| mitigation. The Company may be impacted by changes | |||||||
| to local or international compliance regulations related to | |||||||
| climate change mitigation efforts, or by specific taxation | |||||||
| or penalties for carbon emissions or environmental | |||||||
| damage. These examples sit amongst an array of possible | |||||||
| restraints on industry that may further impact the | |||||||
| Company and its profitability. While the Company will | |||||||
| endeavour to manage these risks and limit any | |||||||
| consequential impacts, there can be no guarantee that | |||||||
| the Company will not be impacted by these occurrences; | |||||||
| and | |||||||
| (b) | climate change may cause certain physical and | ||||||
| environmental risks that cannot be predicted by the | |||||||
| Company, including events such as increased severity of | |||||||
61
| Risk |
Risk |
||
|---|---|---|---|
| Risk Category | Risk | ||
| weather patterns and 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 the Company operates. |
|||
| COVID-19 risk | The outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is impacting global economic markets. The nature and extent of the effect of the outbreak on the performance of the Company remains |
||
unknown. The Company’s Share price may be adversely affected in the short to medium term by the economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19. Further, any governmental or industry measures taken in response to COVID-19 may adversely impact the Company’s operations and are likely to be beyond the control of the Company. The COVID-19 pandemic may also give rise to issues, delays or restrictions in product processing and packaging and the C’ bili dli d hih |
|||
| ompanys aty to ever proucts to customers, wc may result in cost increases or adverse impacts on sales. In addition, the effects of COVID-19 on the Company’s Share price and global financial markets generally may also affect the Company’s ability to raise equity or debt or require the Company to issue capital at a discount, which may in turn cause dilution to Shareholders./ The COVID-19 pandemic may also give rise to issues, delays or restrictions in relation to land access and the Company’s ability to fl l d i d f li |
|||
| reey move peope an equpment to an rom exporaton projects and may cause delays or cost increases. The Directors are monitoring the situation closely and have considered the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business and financial performance. However, the situation is continually evolving, and the consequences are therefore inevitably uncertain. If any of these impacts appear material prior to close of the Capital Raising Offer, the Company will notify investors under a |
|||
| supplementary prospectus. | |||
| Native title and Aboriginal Heritage |
In relation to tenements which the Company has an interest in or will in the future acquire such an interest, there may be areas over which legitimate common law native title rights of Aboriginal Australians exist. If native title rights do exist, the ability of the Company to gain access to tenements (through obtaining consent of any relevant landowner), or to progress from the exploration hase to the develoment and minin hases of oerations ma |
||
| p p g p p y be adversely affected. The land under E/80/5100, E/80/5101, E/80/5102 and E/80/5103 are subject to Native Title Determination WAD160/1997 that native title exists in relation to parts of the land subject of those Tenements. The land under E46/1383 is subject to Native Title Determination WAD196/2013 that native title exists in relation to parts of the land the subject of E46/1383. |
|||
| In addition, several of the Tenements that comprise the Ravenswood North Project contain Aboriginal heritage sites of significance which have been registered with the Department of Indigenous Affairs. The existence of the Aboriginal heritage sites within these Tenements may lead to restrictions on the areas that the Company will be able to explore and mine. As noted above, the Company has confirmed that the native title and heritage agreements that it (through its wholly owned subsidiaries) has |
|||
entered into, to the best of its knowledge, permits the Company to |

| Risk |
||
|---|---|---|
| Risk Category | Risk | |
| undertake its proposed exploration activities on the areas of the Tenements that overlap with the recorded Aboriginal Heritage Sites. The Directors will closely monitor the potential effect of native title claims or Aboriginal heritage matters involving tenements in which the Company has or may have an interest. Please refer to the Solicitor’s Report on Tenements in Annexure B of this Prospectus for further details on the above matter. |
||
7.3 Industry specific risks
| Risk Category | Risk | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Exploration costs | The exploration costs of the Company as summarised in Section 5.5 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 uncertainty, and accordingly, the actual costs may materially differ from the estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the cost estimates and the underlying assumptions will be realised in practice, which may materially and adversely impact the Company’s viability. |
|||
| Grant of future |
If the Company discovers an economically viable mineral |
||
| authorisations to explore and mine |
deposit that is then intends to develop, it will, among other things, require various approvals, licence and permits before it will be able to mine the deposit. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to obtain all required approvals, licenses and permits. To the extent that required authorisations are not obtained or are delayed, the Company’s operational and financial performance may be materially adversely affected. |
||
| Mine development | Possible future development of mining operations at the | ||
| Projects is dependent on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the acquisition and/or delineation of economically recoverable mineralisation, favourable geological conditions, receiving the necessary approvals from all relevant authorities and parties, seasonal weather patterns, unanticipated technical and operational difficulties encountered in extraction and production activities, mechanical failure of operating plant and equipment, shortages or increases in the price of |
|||
consumables, spare parts and plant and equipment, cost overruns, access to the required level of funding and contracting risk from third parties providing essential services. If the Company commences production on one of the Projects, its operations may be disrupted by a variety of risks and hazards which are beyond the control of the Company. No assurance can be given that the Company will achieve mmril ibilit thrh th dlmnt f th Prt |
|||
| coeca vay oug e eveope o e ojecs. The risks associated with the development of a mine will be considered in full should the Projects reach that stage and will be managed with ongoing consideration of stakeholder interests. |
|||
| Environmental | The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to State and Federal laws and regulations concerning the environment. As with most exploration projects and mining |
||
operations, the Company’s activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularlyif advanced |

| Risk |
Risk |
||
|---|---|---|---|
| Risk Category | Risk | ||
| exploration or mine development proceeds. It is the Company’s intention to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws. Mining operations have inherent risks and liabilities associated with safety and damage to the environment and the disposal of waste products occurring as a result of mineral exploration and production. The occurrence of any such safety or |
|||
| environmental incident could delay production or increase production costs. Events, such as unpredictable rainfall or bushfires may impact on the Company’s ongoing compliance with environmental legislation, regulations and licences. Significant liabilities could be imposed on the Company for damages, clean up costs or penalties in the event of certain discharges into the environment, environmental damage caused by previous operations or non-compliance with |
|||
| environmental laws or regulations. The disposal of mining and process waste and mine water discharge are under constant legislative scrutiny and regulation. There is a risk that environmental laws and regulations become more onerous making the Company’s operations more expensive. Approvals are required for land clearing and for ground disturbing activities. Delays in obtaining such approvals can |
|||
result in the delay to anticipated exploration programs or mining activities. |
|||
| Regulatory Compliance |
The Company’s operating activities are subject to extensive laws and regulations relating to numerous matters including resource licence consent, environmental compliance and rehabilitation, taxation, employee relations, health and worker safety, waste disposal, protection of the environment, native |
||
| title and heritage matters, protection of endangered and protected species and other matters. The Company requires permits from regulatory authorities to authorise the Company’s operations. These permits relate to exploration, development, production and rehabilitation activities. While the Company believes that it is in substantial compliance with all material current laws and regulations, agreements or changes in their enforcement or regulatory interpretation could |
|||
result in changes in legal requirements or in the terms of existing permits and agreements applicable to the Company or its properties, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s current operations or planned development projects. Obtaining necessary permits can be a time-consuming process and there is a risk that Company will not obtain these permits tbl t i til t ll Th t |
|||
| on accepae erms, n a mey manner or a a. e coss and delays associated with obtaining necessary permits and complying with these permits and applicable laws and regulations could materially delay or restrict the Company from proceeding with the development of a project or the operation or development of a mine. Any failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations or permits, even if inadvertent, could result in material fines, penalties or other liabilities In extreme cases failure could result in susension of |
|||
| . , p the Company’s activities or forfeiture of one or more of the Tenements. |

7.4 General risks
| Risk Category | Risk | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Additional requirements for capital |
The Company’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors. The Company may require further financing in addition to amounts raised under the Capital Raising Offer. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing |
||
| as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations and scale back its exploration programs as the case may be. There is however no guarantee that the Company will be able to secure any additional funding or be able to secure funding on terms favourable to the Company. |
|||
| Reliance on key personnel |
The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and the strategic management of the Company depends substantially on |
||
| its senior management and its key personnel. There can be no assurance given that there will be no detrimental impact on the Company if one or more of these employees cease their employment. The Company’s future depends, in part, on its ability to attract and retain key personnel. It may not be able to hire and retain such personnel at compensation levels consistent with its existing compensation and salary structure. Its future also depends on the |
|||
| continued contributions of its executive management team and other key management and technical personnel, the loss of whose services would be difficult to replace. In addition, the inability to continue to attract appropriately qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business. |
|||
| Economic | General economic conditions, introduction of tax reform, new | ||
| legislation, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company’s exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities. If activities cannot be funded, there is a risk that the Projects may have to be surrendered or not renewed. General economic conditions may also affect the value of the Company and its valuation regardless of its actual performance. |
|||
| Competition risk | The industry in which the Company will be involved is subject to domestic and global competition. Although the Company will undertake all reasonable due diligence in its business decisions and operations, the Company will have no influence or control over the activities or actions of its competitors, which activities or actions may, positively or negatively, affect the operating and financial performance of the Company’s projects and business. |
||
| Currently no market |
There is currently no public market for the Company’s Shares, the price of its Shares is subject to uncertainty and there can be no assurance that an active market for the Company’s Shares will develop or continue after the Offers. The price at which the Company’s Shares trade on ASX after listing may be higher or lower than the issue price of Shares offered under this Prospectus and could be subject to fluctuations in resonse to variations in oeratin erformance and eneral |
||
| p pg p g operations and business risk, as well as external operating factors over which the Directors and the Company have no control, such |
65
| Risk |
Risk |
||
|---|---|---|---|
| Risk Category | Risk | ||
| as movements in mineral prices and exchange rates, changes to government policy, legislation or regulation and other events or factors. There can be no guarantee that an active market in the Company’s Shares will develop or that the price of the Shares will increase. There may be relatively few or many potential buyers or sellers of the Shares on ASX at any given time. This may increase the volatility of the market price of the Shares. It may also affect |
|||
| the prevailing market price at which Shareholders are able to sell their Shares. This may result in Shareholders receiving a market price for their Shares that is above or below the price that Shareholders paid. |
|||
| Market conditions | Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s Shares regardless of the Company’s operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as: |
||
| (a) general economic outlook; (b) introduction of tax reform or other new legislation; (c) interest rates and inflation rates; (d) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors; (e) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and (f) terrorism or other hostilities. |
|||
| The market price of Shares can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general and resource exploration stocks in particular. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company. Applicants should be aware that there are risks associated with |
|||
| any securities investment. Securities listed on the stock market, and in particular securities of exploration companies experience extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated to the operating performance of such companies. These factors may materially affect the market price of the shares regardless of the Company’s performance. Further, after the end of the relevant escrow periods affecting Shares in the Company, a significant sale of then tradeable Shares |
|||
| (or the market perception that such a sale might occur) could have an adverse effect on the Company’s Share price. Please refer to Section 5.8 for further details on the Shares likely to be classified by the ASX as restricted securities. |
|||
| Commodity price volatility and exchange rate ik |

Such factors include supply and demand fluctuations for precious and base metals, technological advancements, forward selling activities and other macro-economic factors. Furthermore, international prices of various commodities are denominated in United States dollars, whereas the income and expenditure of the Company will be taken into account in |
||
| Australian currency, exposing the Company to the fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between the United States |

|||
| Government policy changes |
Adverse changes in government policies or legislation may affect ownership of mineral interests, taxation, royalties, land access, labour relations, and mining and exploration activities of the Company. It is possible that the current system of exploration and mine permitting in Western Australia and Queensland may |
||
change, resulting in impairment of rights and possibly expropriation of the Company’s properties without adequate compensation. |
|||
| Insurance | The Company intends to insure its operations in accordance with industry practice. However, in certain circumstances the Company’s insurance may not be of a nature or level to provide adequate insurance cover. The occurrence of an event that is not |
||
| covered or fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of the Company. Insurance of all risks associated with mineral exploration and production is not always available and where available the costs can be prohibitive. |
|||
| Force Majeure | The Company’s projects now or in the future may be adversely | ||
| affected by risks outside the control of the Company including labour unrest, civil disorder, war, subversive activities or sabotage, fires, floods, explosions or other catastrophes, epidemics or quarantine restrictions. |
|||
| Taxation | The acquisition and disposal of Shares will have tax consequences, which will differ depending on the individual financial affairs of each investor. All potential investors in the Company are urged to |
||
| obtain independent financial advice about the consequences of acquiring Shares from a taxation viewpoint and generally. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company, its officers and each of their respective advisors accept no liability and responsibility with respect to the taxation consequences of subscribing for Shares under this Prospectus. |
|||
| Litigation Risks | The Company is exposed to possible litigation risks including native |
||
| title claims, tenure disputes, environmental claims, occupational health and safety claims and employee claims. Further, the Company may be involved in disputes with other parties in the future which may result in litigation. Any such claim or dispute if proven, may impact adversely on the Company’s operations, reputation, financial performance and financial position. The Company is not currently engaged in any litigation. |
|||
7.5 Investment speculative
The risk factors described above, and other risks factors not specifically referred to, may have a materially adverse impact on the performance of the Company and the value of the Shares.
Prospective investors should consider that an investment in the Company is highly speculative.
67

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company is not involved in any legal proceedings and the Directors are not aware of any legal proceedings pending or threatened against the Company.
10.2 Rights and liabilities attaching to Shares
The following is a summary of the more significant rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares being offered pursuant to this Prospectus. This summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders. To obtain such a statement, persons should seek independent legal advice.
Full details of the rights and liabilities attaching to Shares are set out in the Constitution, a copy of which is available for inspection at the Company’s registered office during normal business hours.
(a) General meetings
Shareholders are entitled to be present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company.
Shareholders may requisition meetings in accordance with section 249D of the Corporations Act and the Constitution of the Company.
- (b) Voting rights
Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of shares, at general meetings of shareholders or classes of shareholders:
-
(i) each Shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy, attorney or representative;
-
(ii) on a show of hands, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder has one vote; and
-
(iii) on a poll, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder shall, in respect of each fully paid Share held by him, or in respect of which he is appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote for each Share held, but in respect of partly paid shares shall have such number of votes as bears the same proportion to the total of such Shares registered in the Shareholder’s name as the amount paid (not credited) bears to the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited).
(c) Dividend rights
Subject to the rights of any preference Shareholders and to the rights of the holders of any shares created or raised under any special arrangement as to dividend, the Directors may from time to time declare
85
a dividend to be paid to the Shareholders entitled to the dividend which shall be payable on all Shares according to the proportion that the amount paid (not credited) is of the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited) in respect of such Shares.
The Directors may from time to time pay to the Shareholders any interim dividends as they may determine. No dividend shall carry interest as against the Company. The Directors may set aside out of the profits of the Company any amounts that they may determine as reserves, to be applied at the discretion of the Directors, for any purpose for which the profits of the Company may be properly applied.
Subject to the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, the Company may, by resolution of the Directors, implement a dividend reinvestment plan on such terms and conditions as the Directors think fit and which provides for any dividend which the Directors may declare from time to time payable on Shares which are participating Shares in the dividend reinvestment plan, less any amount which the Company shall either pursuant to the Constitution or any law be entitled or obliged to retain, be applied by the Company to the payment of the subscription price of Shares.
(d) Winding-up
If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution, divide among the Shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the property of the Company, and may for that purpose set such value as he considers fair upon any property to be so divided, and may determine how the division is to be carried out as between the Shareholders or different classes of Shareholders.
The liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution, vest the whole or any part of any such property in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator thinks fit, but so that no Shareholder is compelled to accept any shares or other securities in respect of which there is any liability.
(e) Shareholder liability
As the Shares issued will be fully paid shares, they will not be subject to any calls for money by the Directors and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.
(f) Transfer of shares
Generally, shares in the Company are freely transferable, subject to formal requirements, the registration of the transfer not resulting in a contravention of or failure to observe the provisions of a law of Australia and the transfer not being in breach of the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules.
(g) Future increase in capital
The issue of any new Shares is under the control of the Directors of the Company. Subject to restrictions on the issue or grant of securities contained in the ASX Listing Rules, the Constitution and the Corporations
86
Act (and without affecting any special right previously conferred on the holder of an existing share or class of shares), the Directors may issue Shares as they shall, in their absolute discretion, determine.
(h) Variation of rights
Under section 246B of the Corporations Act, the Company may, with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a meeting of Shareholders vary or abrogate the rights attaching to Shares.
If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class), whether or not the Company is being wound up, may be varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of three quarters of the issued shares of that class, or if authorised by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.
(i) Alteration of constitution
In accordance with the Corporations Act, the Constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters of Shareholders present and voting at the general meeting. In addition, at least 28 days written notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be given.

The Performance Rights will vest and become capable of conversion into fully paid ordinary shares ( Shares ) pursuant to the achievement of the following milestones (each being a Milestone ):
| Tranche | Milestone | Expiry Date | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Class A Performance |
Each Class A Performance Right will vest and convert (at the election of the holder) into one |
Five (5) years from |

the date of issue. |

Five (5) years from the date of issue. |
||
| Class C Performance Rights |
Each Class C Performance Right will vest and convert (at the election of the holder) into one Share upon the Company achieving a 20 Day VWAP exceeding $0.70. |
Five (5) years from the date of issue. |
When each Milestone is achieved, the Performance Rights in the applicable Class will vest and, at the election of the holder, convert into Shares on a one-for-one basis. All Shares issued upon the vesting of Performance Rights will upon issue rank pari passu in all respects with other Shares.
(b) Notification to holder
The Company shall notify the holder in writing when the Milestone has been satisfied.
(c) Conversion
Subject to paragraph (m), upon vesting, each Performance Right will, at the election of the holder, convert into one (1) Share.
(d) Share ranking
All Shares issued upon the vesting of Performance Rights will upon issue rank pari passu in all respects with other Shares.

(f) Transfer of Performance Rights

90
(g) Lapse of a Performance Right
If the Milestone attached to the relevant Performance Right has not been satisfied within the time period set out in paragraph (a), the relevant Performance Rights will automatically lapse.

A Performance Right does not entitle a holder (in their capacity as a holder of a Performance Right) to participate in new issues of capital offered to holders of Shares such as bonus issues and entitlement issues.
- (i) Reorganisation of capital
If at any time the issued capital of the Company is reconstructed, all rights of a holder will be changed in a manner consistent with the applicable ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act at the time of reorganisation.
(j) Adjustment for bonus issue
If the Company makes a bonus issue of Shares or other securities to existing Shareholders (other than an issue in lieu or in satisfaction of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment) the number of Shares or other securities which must be issued on the conversion of a Performance Right will be increased by the number of Shares or other securities which the holder would have received if the holder had converted the Performance Right before the record date for the bonus issue.
- (k) Dividend and Voting Rights
The Performance Rights do not confer on the holder an entitlement to vote (except as otherwise required by law) or receive dividends.

Subject to paragraph (m), upon:
-
(i) a takeover bid under Chapter 6 of the Corporations Act having been made in respect of the Company and:
-
(A) having received acceptances for not less than 50.1% of the Company’s Shares on issue; and
-
(B) having been declared unconditional by the bidder.
-
(ii) a Court granting orders approving a compromise or arrangement for the purposes of or in connection with a scheme of arrangement for the reconstruction of the Company or its amalgamation with any other company or companies,
then, to the extent Performance Rights have not converted into Shares due to satisfaction of the Milestone, Performance Rights will accelerate vesting conditions and will automatically convert into Shares on a onefor-one basis.
91
(m) Deferral of conversion if resulting in a prohibited acquisition of Shares
If the conversion of a Performance Right under paragraph (c) or (l) would result in any person being in contravention of section 606(1) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( General Prohibition ) then the conversion of that Performance Right shall be deferred until such later time or times that the conversion would not result in a contravention of the General Prohibition. In assessing whether a conversion of a Performance Right would result in a contravention of the General Prohibition:
-
(i) holders may give written notification to the Company if they consider that the conversion of a Performance Right may result in the contravention of the General Prohibition. The absence of such written notification from the holder will entitle the Company to assume the conversion of a Performance Right will not result in any person being in contravention of the General Prohibition; and
-
(ii) the Company may (but is not obliged to) by written notice to a holder request a holder to provide the written notice referred to in paragraph (m)(i) within seven days if the Company considers that the conversion of a Performance Right may result in a contravention of the General Prohibition. The absence of such written notification from the holder will entitle the Company to assume the conversion of a Performance Right will not result in any person being in contravention of the General Prohibition.
-
(n) No rights to return of capital
A Performance Right does not entitle the holder to a return of capital, whether in a winding up, upon a reduction of capital or otherwise.
(o) Rights on winding up
A Performance Right does not entitle the holder to participate in the surplus profits or assets of the Company upon winding up.
(p) No other rights
A Performance Right gives the holder no rights other than those expressly provided by these terms and those provided at law where such rights at law cannot be excluded by these terms.
(q) Subdivision 83AC-C
Subdivision 83A-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 applies to the Performance Rights.
(r) Leaving the Company
If a holder of Performance Rights ceases to be an employee of the Company by reason of resignation or termination for cause, any unvested Performance Rights will lapse or be forfeited (as the case may be) unless the Board determines otherwise. However, all of the holder’s Performance Rights will vest and, then on exercise by the holder, convert into Shares in the following circumstances:
92
-
(i) death or total and permanent disablement;
-
(ii) redundancy;
-
(iii) retirement; or
-
(iv) termination by agreement.
The following additional information is provided with respect to the Performance Rights issued to the Directors and the CEO (the Recipients ) (or their nominees):
- (a) The number of Performance Rights issued to the Recipients (or their nominees) is as follows:
| Holder | Number of Performance Rights |
||
|---|---|---|---|
| Phil Warren | 880,0001 | ||
| Richard Bevan | 1,400,0002 | ||
| Greg Miles | 880,0003 | ||
| Kathryn Cutler | 1,950,0004 | ||
| Total | 5,110,000 | ||
Notes:
-
Consisting of 500,000 Class A Performance Rights, 300,000 Class B Performance Rights and 80,000 Class C Performance Rights.
-
Consisting of 750,000 Class A Performance Rights, 500,000 Class B Performance Rights and 150,000 Class C Performance Rights.
-
Consisting of 500,000 Class A Performance Rights, 300,000 Class B Performance Rights and 80,000 Class C Performance Rights.
-
Consisting of 1,000,000 Class A Performance Rights, 750,000 Class B Performance Rights and 200,000 Class C Performance Rights.
-
(b) The Performance Rights are being issued to the Recipients as part of their respective remuneration packages, in order to link part of the remuneration payable to the Recipients to specific performance milestones set out in Section 10.4(a) above. The Performance Rights are being issued to incentivise the Recipients and are not ordinary course of business remuneration securities.
-
(c) A summary of the executive services agreement for Ms Cutler and the non-executive director appointment letters for the Directors are included at Sections 9.3.1 and 9.3.4 respectively.
Each of the Recipients will play a key role in executing the Company’s business model (as set out in Sections 5.3 and 5.4), which is directly aligned with the performance milestones for the Performance Rights as follows:
- (i) as Directors, Messrs Warren, Bevan and Miles will be responsible for, among other things, directing the operations of the Company and providing recommendations of a strategic nature to board members.
93
-
(ii) as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Ms Cutler will be responsible for, among other things, the management of the organisation and operations of the Company.
-
(d) Details of the existing total remuneration packages of each of the Recipients are disclosed at Section 8.3.
-
(e) The security holdings of each of the Recipients on completion of the Capital Raising Offer, are disclosed in Section 8.3.
-
(f) The Performance Rights have been issued as part of the Recipients’ remuneration packages.
The Company considers it necessary and appropriate to further remunerate and incentivise the Recipients to achieve the applicable performance milestones for the following reasons:
-
(i) the issue of Performance Rights to the Recipients will further align the interests of the Recipients with those of Shareholders;
-
(ii) the Performance Rights are unlisted, therefore the grant of the Performance Rights has no immediate dilutionary impact on Shareholders;
-
(iii) the issue of the Performance Rights is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to the Recipients; and
-
(iv) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in granting the Performance Rights on the terms proposed.
-
(g) The number of Performance Rights to be issued to each of the Recipients (or their nominees) was determined by the Board following arm’s length negotiations with each of the Recipients, and having regard to:
-
(i) current market standards and/or practices of other ASX listed companies of a similar size and stage of development to the Company;
-
(ii) the remuneration of the Recipients; and
-
(iii) incentives to attract and retain the service of the Recipients, who have the desired knowledge and expertise, while maintaining the Company’s cash reserves.
-
(h) The Board considers the number of Performance Rights to be appropriate and equitable for the following reasons:
-
(i) the Performance Rights are consistent with ASX’s policy regarding the base requirements for performance securities, which are detailed in section 9 of ASX Guidance Note 19;
94
-
(ii) the number of Shares into which the Performance Rights will convert if the milestones are achieved is fixed (one for one) which allows investors and analysts to readily understand and have reasonable certainty as to the impact on the Company’s capital structure if the milestones are achieved;
-
(iii) there is an appropriate link between the milestones and the purposes for which the Performance Rights are being issued and the conversion milestones are clearly articulated by reference to objective criteria;
-
(iv) there is an appropriate link to the benefit of Shareholders and the Company at large through the achievement of the milestones, which have been constructed so that satisfaction of the milestones will be consistent with increases in the value of Company’s business;
-
(v) the Performance Rights which are proposed to be issued represent a small proportion of the Company's issued capital upon listing (less than 10% of issued Share capital); and
-
(vi) the Performance Rights have an expiry date by which the milestones are to be achieved and, if the milestones are not achieved by that date, the Performance Rights will lapse.
-
(i) If the applicable milestones are met, the Performance Rights will convert into 5,110,000 Shares. This will have the following impact on the Company’s capital structure:
| Prfrmn Riht n i | 5110000 |
| eoace gs o ssue | ,, |
| Shares on issue on completion of the Offers | 52,000,000 |
| Shares on issue (on vesting and exercise of the Performance Rights) |
57,100,000 |
10.5 Employee Securities Incentive Plan
The Company has adopted an Employee Securities Incentive Plan ( Plan ) to allow eligible participants to be granted Securities in the Company. The principle terms of the Plan are summarised below:
(a) Eligible Participant
Eligible Participant means a person who is a full-time or part-time employee, officer, or contractor of the Company, or an Associated Body Corporate (as defined in ASIC Class Order 14/1000), or such other person who has been determined by the Board to be eligible to participate in the Plan from time to time.
The Company will seek Shareholder approval for Director and related party participation in accordance with Listing Rule 10.14.
95
(b) Purpose
The purpose of the Plan is to:
-
(i) assist in the reward, retention and motivation of Eligible Participants;
-
(ii) link the reward of Eligible Participants to Shareholder value creation; and
-
(iii) align the interests of Eligible Participants with shareholders of the Group (being the Company and each of its Associated Bodies Corporate), by providing an opportunity to Eligible Participants to receive an equity interest in the Company in the form of Securities.
(c) Plan administration
The Plan will be administered by the Board. The Board may exercise any power or discretion conferred on it by the Plan rules in its sole and absolute discretion. The Board may delegate its powers and discretion.
(d) Eligibility, invitation and application
The Board may from time to time determine that an Eligible Participant may participate in the Plan and make an invitation to that Eligible Participant to apply for Securities on such terms and conditions as the Board decides.
On receipt of an Invitation, an Eligible Participant may apply for the Securities the subject of the invitation by sending a completed application form to the Company. The Board may accept an application from an Eligible Participant in whole or in part.
If an Eligible Participant is permitted in the invitation, the Eligible Participant may, by notice in writing to the Board, nominate a party in whose favour the Eligible Participant wishes to renounce the invitation.
(e) Grant of Securities
The Company will, to the extent that it has accepted a duly completed application, grant the Participant the relevant number of Securities, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the invitation, the Plan rules and any ancillary documentation required.
(f) Terms of Convertible Securities
Each 'Convertible Security' represents a right to acquire one or more Shares (for example, under an option or performance right), subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. Prior to a Convertible Security being exercised a Participant does not have any interest (legal, equitable or otherwise) in any Share the subject of the Convertible Security by virtue of holding the Convertible Security. A Participant may not sell, assign, transfer, grant a security interest over or otherwise deal with a Convertible Security that has been granted to them unless otherwise determined by the Board. A Participant must not enter into any arrangement for the
96
purpose of hedging their economic exposure to a Convertible Security that has been granted to them.
(g) Vesting of Convertible Securities
Any vesting conditions applicable to the grant of Convertible Securities will be described in the invitation. If all the vesting conditions are satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, a vesting notice will be sent to the Participant by the Company informing them that the relevant Convertible Securities have vested. Unless and until the vesting notice is issued by the Company, the Convertible Securities will not be considered to have vested. For the avoidance of doubt, if the vesting conditions relevant to a Convertible Security are not satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, that Convertible Security will lapse.
(h) Exercise of Convertible Securities and cashless exercise
To exercise a Convertible Security, the Participant must deliver a signed notice of exercise and, subject to a cashless exercise of Convertible Securities (see below), pay the exercise price (if any) to or as directed by the Company, at any time following vesting of the Convertible Security (if subject to vesting conditions) and prior to the expiry date as set out in the invitation or vesting notice.
An invitation may specify that at the time of exercise of the Convertible Securities, the Participant may elect not to be required to provide payment of the exercise price for the number of Convertible Securities specified in a notice of exercise, but that on exercise of those Convertible Securities the Company will transfer or issue to the Participant that number of Shares equal in value to the positive difference between the Market Value of the Shares at the time of exercise and the exercise price that would otherwise be payable to exercise those Convertible Securities.
Market Value means, at any given date, the volume weighted average price per Share traded on the ASX over the 5 trading days immediately preceding that given date, unless otherwise specified in an invitation.
A Convertible Security may not be exercised unless and until that Convertible Security has vested in accordance with the Plan rules, or such earlier date as set out in the Plan rules.
(i) Delivery of Shares on exercise of Convertible Securities
As soon as practicable after the valid exercise of a Convertible Security by a Participant, the Company will issue or cause to be transferred to that Participant the number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled under the Plan rules and issue a substitute certificate for any remaining unexercised Convertible Securities held by that Participant.
(j) Forfeiture of Convertible Securities
Where a Participant who holds Convertible Securities ceases to be an Eligible Participant or becomes insolvent, all unvested Convertible Securities will automatically be forfeited by the Participant, unless the Board otherwise determines in its discretion to permit some or all of the Convertible Securities to vest.
97
Where the Board determines that a Participant has acted fraudulently or dishonestly; committed an act which has brought the Company, the Group or any entity within the Group into disrepute, or wilfully breached his or her duties to the Group or where a Participant is convicted of an offence in connection with the affairs of the Group; or has a judgment entered against him or her in any civil proceedings in respect of the contravention by the Participant of his or her duties at law, in equity or under statute, in his or her capacity as an employee, consultant or officer of the Group, the Board may in its discretion deem all unvested Convertible Securities held by that Participant to have been forfeited.
Unless the Board otherwise determines, or as otherwise set out in the Plan rules:
-
(i) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be forfeited immediately on the date that the Board determines (acting reasonably and in good faith) that any applicable vesting conditions have not been met or cannot be met by the relevant date; and
-
(ii) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be automatically forfeited on the expiry date specified in the invitation or vesting notice.
(k) Change of control
If a change of control event occurs in relation to the Company, or the Board determines that such an event is likely to occur, the Board may in its discretion determine the manner in which any or all of the Participant's Convertible Securities will be dealt with, including, without limitation, in a manner that allows the Participant to participate in and/or benefit from any transaction arising from or in connection with the change of control event provided that, in respect of Convertible Securities, the maximum number of Convertible Securities (that have not yet been exercised) that the Board may determine will vest and be exercisable into Shares under this Rule is that number of Convertible Securities that is equal to 10% of the Shares on issue immediately following vesting under this Rule, which as far as practicable will be allocated between holders on a pro-rata basis on the basis of their holdings of Convertible Securities on the date of determination of vesting.
- (l) Rights attaching to Plan Shares
All Shares issued or transferred under the Plan or issued or transferred to a Participant upon the valid exercise of a Convertible Security, ( Plan Shares ) will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares of the same class. A Participant will be entitled to any dividends declared and distributed by the Company on the Plan Shares and may participate in any dividend reinvestment plan operated by the Company in respect of Plan Shares. A Participant may exercise any voting rights attaching to Plan Shares.
(m) Disposal restrictions on Plan Shares
If the invitation provides that any Plan Shares are subject to any restrictions as to the disposal or other dealing by a Participant for a period,
98
the Board may implement any procedure it deems appropriate to ensure the compliance by the Participant with this restriction.
For so long as a Plan Share is subject to any disposal restrictions under the Plan, the Participant will not:
-
(i) transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of, or have a security interest granted over that Plan Share; or
-
(ii) take any action or permit another person to take any action to remove or circumvent the disposal restrictions without the express written consent of the Company.
(n) Adjustment of Convertible Securities
If there is a reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company (including any subdivision, consolidation, reduction, return or cancellation of such issued capital of the Company), the rights of each Participant holding Convertible Securities will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules applicable to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.
If Shares are issued by the Company by way of bonus issue (other than an issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment), the holder of Convertible Securities is entitled, upon exercise of the Convertible Securities, to receive an issue of as many additional Shares as would have been issued to the holder if the holder held Shares equal in number to the Shares in respect of which the Convertible Securities are exercised.
Unless otherwise determined by the Board, a holder of Convertible Securities does not have the right to participate in a pro rata issue of Shares made by the Company or sell renounceable rights.
- (o) Participation in new issues
There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Convertible Securities and holders are not entitled to participate in any new issue of Shares of the Company during the currency of the Convertible Securities without exercising the Convertible Securities.
- (p) Compliance with applicable law
No Security may be offered, granted, vested or exercised if to do so would contravene any applicable law. In particular, the Company must have reasonable grounds to believe, when making an invitation, that the total number of Plan Shares that may be issued upon exercise of Convertible Securities offered under an invitation, when aggregated with the number of Shares issued or that may be issued as a result of offers made at any time during the previous three year period under:
-
(i) an employee incentive scheme of the Company covered by ASIC Class Order 14/1000; or
-
(ii) an ASIC exempt arrangement of a similar kind to an employee incentive scheme,
99
but disregarding any offer made or securities issued in the capital of the Company by way of or as a result of:
-
(iii) an offer to a person situated at the time of receipt of the offer outside Australia;
-
(iv) an offer that did not need disclosure to investors because of section 708 of the Corporations Act (exempts the requirement for a disclosure document for the issue of securities in certain circumstances to investors who are deemed to have sufficient investment knowledge to make informed decisions, including professional investors, sophisticated investors and senior managers of the Company); or
-
(v) an offer made under a disclosure document,
would not exceed 5% (or such other maximum permitted under any applicable law) of the total number of Shares on issue at the date of the invitation.
- (q) Maximum number of Securities
The maximum number of equity securities proposed to be issued under the Plan is 5,200,000 Securities. It is not envisaged that the maximum number of Securities will be issued immediately.
- (r) Amendment of Plan
Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time amend any provisions of the Plan rules, including (without limitation) the terms and conditions upon which any Securities have been granted under the Plan and determine that any amendments to the Plan rules be given retrospective effect, immediate effect or future effect.
No amendment to any provision of the Plan rules may be made if the amendment materially reduces the rights of any Participant as they existed before the date of the amendment, other than an amendment introduced primarily for the purpose of complying with legislation or to correct manifest error or mistake, amongst other things, or is agreed to in writing by all Participants.
(s) Plan duration
The Plan continues in operation until the Board decides to end it. The Board may from time to time suspend the operation of the Plan for a fixed period or indefinitely and may end any suspension. If the Plan is terminated or suspended for any reason, that termination or suspension must not prejudice the accrued rights of the Participants.
If a Participant and the Company (acting by the Board) agree in writing that some or all of the Securities granted to that Participant are to be cancelled on a specified date or on the occurrence of a particular event, then those Securities may be cancelled in the manner agreed between the Company and the Participant.

Executive summary
In 2020, Access Asia Mining Pte Ltd (Asia) engaged AMC Consultants Pty Ltd (AMC) to prepare an Independent Geologists Report (IGR) for its exploration assets in Western Australia (WA) and Queensland (QLD) (Assets). In 2021, Killi Resources Limited (Killi) acquired the exploration assets from Access Australia Minerals Ltd (AAM), a subsidiary of Asia, and engaged AMC to complete the IGR.
The IGR will be included in Killi’s prospectus, prepared by Killi Resources Limited, for an initial public offering (IPO) of up to 30,000,000 shares at an issue price of $0.20 to raise up to a total of $6 million to facilitate Killi’s admission to the Official List of the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX).
AMC has prepared this IGR in accordance with the Code for the Public Reporting of Technical Assessments and Valuations of Mineral Assets, the VALMIN Code[1] , 2015 Edition (VALMIN) and the JORC Code, 2012 Edition[2] (JORC Code). In its commission AMC believes it has complied with Australian Securities and Investment Commission regulatory guides RG 58 and RG 228 to the extent the guides are relevant, and RG 228.17 with respect to the JORC Code and the VALMIN Code. AMC's use in the Report of the terms Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves is in accordance with the JORC Code.
The Assets consist of four exploration licences in the Tanami region of WA (West Tanami), and five exploration permits for minerals (EPMs) in the Charters Towers-Ravenswood region of Queensland (Ravenswood North). There are also two exploration licence applications, one in the Pilbara region of WA (Balfour), and one in the Mt Rawdon region of Queensland (Mt Rawdon West).
The properties are classified as exploration projects, which are inherently speculative in nature, but are considered to be sufficiently prospective, subject to varying degrees of risk, to warrant further exploration and assessment of their economic potential, consistent with the proposed programs.
The West Tanami Project in WA is prospective for gold. The area has been tested in some outcrop areas. However, others are yet to be investigated in detail. Surface investigations show prospects with anomalism, and drilling that was too shallow to sufficiently investigate bedrock under cover. These remain prospective for orogenic gold mineralization, similar to that seen in other locations in the Tanami Desert. Untested outcrops within the West Tanami Project require additional work. Elsewhere anomalous zones require further investigation and prioritization. The prospectivity of the West Tanami Project is supported by the adjacent Bald Hill mine, and the potential for utilising the Coyote processing plant, neither of which are assets of Killi.
The Ravenswood North Project in QLD is prospective for gold, silver and copper. The area has been tested adequately in most outcrop areas to rule out significant near-surface potential, however, areas under the cover of the black soil plains and at depth remain prospective for Ravenswood-style intrusion-related gold systems. Gold mineralised breccia pipes have been

identified within the excised ground at Mt Success. Untested soil and rock chip anomalies occur within the Ravenswood North Project require additional work.
The Balfour Project in WA is prospective for base metals. The Mt Rawdon West Project is prospective for gold. These tenements are currently under application and cannot be explored until they are granted.
Killi has prepared staged exploration programs, specific to the exploration potential of the projects, which is consistent with its budget allocation. AMC considers that the project areas have sufficient technical merit and evidence of previous exploration to justify the proposed programs and expenditure.
Principal sources of information considered by AMC in the preparation of the IGR are listed in Section 7.
The West Tanami exploration tenements were inspected on 18 and 19 April 2021, sighting outcrop, evidence of exploration drillhole collars, and recent mine workings adjacent to the tenements. Prospects visited included Slatey Creek and Hermes.
The Ravenswood North exploration tenements were inspected on 27 and 28 March 2021, visiting the most prospective areas of the Mt Hotspur and Mt Success Regional tenements and sighting outcrop.
AMC has not audited the information provided to it but has aimed to satisfy itself that all of the information has been prepared in accordance with proper industry standards and is based on data that AMC considers to be of acceptable quality and reliability. Where AMC has not been so satisfied, AMC has included comment in the Report and made modifications to that information in preparing the IGR.
Verification of the standing of tenements is not within the scope of this assignment. AMC has prepared this report on the basis that the material exploration tenements are in good standing.

AC Aircore (drilling)
Ag Chemical symbol for silver.
As Chemical symbol for arsenic.
Au Chemical symbol for gold.
Chargeability One of several units of induced polarization in the time domain. Chargeability is used to
characterize the formation and strength of the induced polarization within a rock, under the
influence of an electric field and describes how conductivity changes with electrical frequency.
Conductivity Conductivity is a diagnostic physical property that quantifies how easily electrical charges move
through a given material when subjected to an applied electric field. For most electrical
geophysical surveys electrical conductivity is the primary diagnostic physical property.
Conductivity =1/Resistivity.
Cu Chemical symbol for copper.
Dipole/dipole Relates to the magnetic field created when an electrical charge is applied to the ground. A dipole
is a pair of oppositely charged electrodes that are so close together that the electric field seems
to form a single electric field rather than a field from two different electric poles. The dipole-
dipole array offers a way to plot raw IP data in order to get an idea of a cross-section of the
earth. Today, modern inversion software can recalculate these apparent data to true data, so
that a realistic image of the earth can be created.
EM The electromagnetic (EM) induction method is based on the measurement of the change in
mutual impedance between a pair of coils on or above the earth’s surface. These coils are
electrically connected and are separated by a fixed distance. The transmitter coil is used to
generate an electromagnetic field at a specific frequency. This is known as the primary field.
The primary field causes electrical currents to flow in conductive materials in the subsurface.
The flow of currents in the subsurface, called eddy currents, generate a secondary magnetic
field, which is sensed by the receiver coil. The magnitude of the secondary field sensed by the
receiver depends upon the type and distribution of conductive material in the subsurface.
g/t Grams per tonne, a standard ratio for demonstrating the concentration of metals in a rock,
equivalent to parts per million (ppm).

ha Hectare, standard metric unit area 100m by 100m.
IP (2DIP and 3D Induced polarization (IP) is a geophysical imaging technique used to identify the electrical
IP) resistivity and chargeability of subsurface materials, such as ore. An electric current is
transmitted into the subsurface through two electrodes, and voltage is monitored through two
other electrodes. IP surveys provide additional information about the spatial variation in
lithology and grain-surface chemistry. The IP survey can be made in time-domain and
frequency-domain mode. The IP method is one of the most widely used techniques in mineral
exploration and mining industry. IP surveys until recently have been carried out on 2D sections
using linear arrays along single sections but recently the development of 3D resistivity and IP
survey techniques and inversion software has revolutionised the way surveys are carried out
and interpreted. Recent developments in field equipment design, interpretation software and
microcomputer technology, 3D surveys are now practical geophysical exploration tools for
mineral, environmental and engineering investigations.

1 Introduction
In 2020, Access Asia Mining Pte Ltd (Asia) engaged AMC Consultants Pty Ltd (AMC) to prepare an Independent Geologists Report (IGR) for its exploration assets in Western Australia (WA) and Queensland (QLD) (Assets). In 2021, Killi Resources Limited (Killi) acquired the exploration assets from Access Australia Minerals Ltd (AAM), a subsidiary of Asia, and engaged AMC to complete the IGR.
The IGR will be included in Killi’s prospectus, prepared by Killi Resources Limited, for an initial public offering (IPO) of up to 30,000,000 shares at an issue price of $0.20 to raise up to a total of $6 million to facilitate Killi’s admission to the Official List of the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX).
AMC has prepared this IGR in accordance with VALMIN and the JORC Code. In its commission AMC believes it has complied with Australian Securities and Investment Commission regulatory guides RG 58 and RG 228 to the extent the guides are relevant, and RG 228.17 with respect to the JORC Code and VALMIN. AMC's use in the Report of the terms Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves is in accordance with the JORC Code.
The Assets consist of four exploration licences (EL) in the Tanami region of WA (West Tanami Project), and five exploration permits for minerals (EPM) in the Charters Towers-Ravenswood region of QLD (Ravenswood North Project). There are also two exploration licence applications, one in the Pilbara region of WA (Balfour Project), and one in the Mt Rawdon region of QLD (Mt Rawdon West Project.
The details in the following chapter on tenure are sourced from Killi for the West Tanami Project and the UTM Global Pty Ltd (UTM) Tenement summary for Ravenswood North Project, provided by Killi. AMC understands that a tenement report will be completed prior to the IPO. AMC has prepared this IGR on the bases that the tenements are in good standing.
1.1 Tenure – Western Australia
The WA Assets are held by Iron Bull Bangemall Pty Ltd (IBB), and one tenement is under application by Access Australia Mining Pty Ltd (AAM). These are both wholly owned subsidiaries of Killi. The WA tenements included in the IGR are listed in Table 1.1.

1.3 Site Visit
1.3.1 Western Australia
A site visit to the West Tanami Gold Project was undertaken over two days (18 to 19 April 2021) by Andrew Proudman of AMC’s Adelaide office. The site visit included traversing to the most prospective areas at Slatey Creek on the Slatey Creek (E80/5101) tenement (Figure 1.5) and to Hermes on the Yosemite-Hermes (E 80/5102) tenement. All relevant data was supplied and discussed in the field examining the styles of mineralization and geological models. Spinifex and scrub cover much of the tenements, with access restricted to traversable historic exploration tracks. Killi has been granted the rights to explore and has permission to access the areas subject to certain access criteria. As such, the site visit was undertaken with the company of a traditional owner. The Balfour Project is under application and was not visited.

2 West Tanami exploration review
2.1 Project description
The West Tanami Project comprises four granted ELs covering 1,634 km[2] west of the Northern Territory (NT) border and north of the Tanami Track between Alice Springs and Halls Creek in the west of WA (Figure 2.1). The licence package is prospective for Proterozoic, structural controlled orogenic gold mineralization in structural and vein systems within sediment and intrusive hosts, such as the Kookaburra (0.2 Moz Au) (now called Bald Hill), and Coyote (0.5 Moz Au) located outside the KILLI tenements. Other deposits in the region include Dead Bullock Soak, including Callie (13 Moz Au), Tanami Goldfields (3 Moz Au) and the Granites (1.3 Moz Au) that all occur in the NT. There is a processing plant at Coyote on care and maintenance since 2016.

2.2 Regional and local geology
The geology of the Tanami region comprises a Palaeoproterozoic sequence of folded metasediments and minor metavolcanic and intrusive rocks unconformably overlying Archaean basement. Granitic lithologies constitute approximately 60% of the geology of the Tanami Region, and predominantly comprise ‘I-type’ biotite±hornblende monzogranites and granodiorites. Within the western Tanami Gold Province, the prospective Tanami Group geology is largely buried by laterally extensive cover and hence the underlying geology has largely been interpreted from geophysical and drillhole data.
Structurally, gold mineralization in the Tanami is recognised to be associated with oblique and reverse faults, faults intersecting anticline structures, and fluctuations in pressure resulting in chemical deposition.
The Tanami Orogenic belt is described by Stevenson et al (2014) to be controlled by three structural events. The first of these are the west-northwest listric crustal scale faults (DGTOE) shown in Figure 2.2. These are interpreted as orogen-parallel normal faults and orogentransverse transfer faults formed during southward rifting.
The next major deformation is north-trending isoclinal folds (DGT01) associated with foliation parallel to bedding and acute to bedding in fold hinges, and faults. DGTOE faults appear to have controlled location of some DGT01 thrust faults and DGTOE normal faults limit the strike extent of faults and anticlines.
Structures associated with the DGT01 deformation were tightly folded and truncated by the south orientated DGT02 compressional event that included folding and thrust faults. DGT01 and DGT02 both associated with greenschist facies metamorphism.
The spatial controls on granites, and fluids associated with potential mineralization are based on the combination of DGT0E, DGT01 and DGT02 events. DGT02 was contemporaneous with granite emplacement. The deep seated DGT0E and early DGT01 structures were reactivated during this orogenic event and provided the pathway for mineralising fluids to ascend into the volcanosedimentary sequence where local structural such as anticlines and fault intersections and contrasting physical and chemical settings influenced the deposition of gold mineralization.
Throughout the region, most gold occurs in epigenetic quartz veins hosted by metasediments and mafic rocks belonging to the Tanami Group and overlying Ware Group. Many of the deposits are hosted within the hinges of anticlines, whereas others are located within structurally complex fault or shear zones in association with brittle host rocks. Western Tanami gold mineralization is hosted within carbonaceous siltstones, ferruginous siltstones and shales, chert, basalt, dolerite and sediments subjected to amphibolite to lower greenschist facies metamorphism.
Geology within the tenements was interpreted from outcrop mapping and drilling. Figure 2.2 shows the dominant sedimentary units to be the Killi Killi Formation and the Stubbins Formation. The tenements are otherwise dominated by the Slatey Creek Granite and structures. The sequence is described in Figure 2.3.
The Killi Killi Formation, host to Coyote deposit, consists of medium to coarse sandstone grading up to fine grained sandstone and laminated siltstone and shale. The beds were interpreted as turbiditic sandstone succession.
The Stubbins Formation is a thick lower turbiditic succession of sandstone, siltstone, shale and dolerite sills overlain by an upper 200 m-thick succession of iron-rich siltstones and shale, carbonaceous shale, chert, pillow basalts, dolerite sills and rhyolite.

One of the keys to the prospectivity of the Killi tenements is the correlation between the Stubbins Formation and the Dead Bullock Formation, known for its mineralization (Figure 2.3). The geochemistry of the dolerite and basalt in the top of the Stubbins Formation suggests analogues to the Callie Member in the Dead Bullock Formation, such as tholeiitic to calc-alkaline affinities, and were deposited in a back-arc basin to island-arc setting (Bagas 2008).
The Dead Bullock Formation is an upward fining sequence of sandstone, turbiditic sandstone, carbonaceous siltstone, siltstone, shale, chert, and rare volcanic rocks resembling the Stubbins Formation. Both the Stubbins Formation and the Dead Bullock Formation are overlain by the Killi Killi Formation.
At Coyote mine, the marker siltstone also contains an upward-fining sequence grading towards the basal conglomerate of the Phat Sandstone. Over 80% of the defined gold mineralization at Coyote is hosted in the Phat Sandstone sequence.
The lower part of the Dead Bullock Formation is the Ferdies Member and consists of siltstone with lesser fine-grained sandstone and local coarser sedimentary rocks. The upper part of the Dead Bullock Formation, which consists of carbonaceous siltstone, chert, and banded iron formation, has been termed the Callie Member (Crispe et al., 2007). The location of mineral occurrences within the Dead Bullock Formation are shown in Figure 2.4.

2.3 Historic mining
The Granites goldfield and Central Tanami site in the Tanami were first mined in the early 1900s and sporadically thereafter, with a small number of ounces produced. It has been a region of extensive greenfields and brownfields exploration since the 1980s with most discoveries made since the mid-1980s.
Modern mining operations were established at the Granites around 1983 by North Flinders Mines Ltd. This evolved into a multi pit and underground operation at The Granites Gold Mine, adjacent to the Tanami Track. In the early 1990s, mining commenced at Dead Bullock Ridge, Triumph and Colliwobble banded iron formation (BIF) hosted deposits in the Schist Hills Iron Member and at Villa within the Orac Formation. During this period, the near-surface sheeted quartz vein mineralization hosted gold deposit at Callie was discovered and developed into an open pit. Within a short time, the multi-million-ounce deposit evolved into an underground operation. The Callie operation, run by Newmont Corporation (Newmont), continues to grow with discoveries at Auron, Federation, Liberator and Lantin. In October 2019, Newmont approved full funding of the Tanami Expansion 2 project comprising a 1.5 km hoisting shaft and supporting infrastructure.
Modern mining at the Tanami gold mine commended with Zapopan NL (Zapopan) and its joint venture partners. This mining ceased in 1994. In 1995 The Central Tanami Joint Venture purchased the Tanami plant from Zapopan and established a multiple-pit mining operation, producing 700,000 ounces of gold before ceasing operations.
Groundrush, located within the Killi Killi beds, was discovered by Normandy NFM Limited in 1999. Mining took place between 2001 and 2005 with ore treated at the Central Tanami mill. Tanami Gold NL (Tanami Gold) acquired the Central Tanami project in 2010, and after significant drilling, re-established the Central Tanami mining operation.
In 2015 Northern Star acquired a 25% interest in the Central Tanami operations from Tanami Gold. In 2017 Northern Star Resources Limited (Northern Star) acquired the Western Tanami operations from Tanami Gold. Mining there occurred until recently at the Coyote and Bald Hill mines.
2.4 Regional data
The Western Tanami was subjected to exploration from the early 1980s, from companies including E&B Explorations Ltd in 1970s, Australian Consolidated Minerals Ltd in 1980s, and Geopeko in the early 1990s. Other explorers include Geographe Resources Limited, Stockdale Prospecting Limited, Goldfields Ltd, Barrick Gold of Australia limited (Barrick), Newmont , Tanami Exploration NL (Tanami Exploration), Manhatten Corporation Limited 2009, Areva Afmeco Mining and Exploration Pty Ltd, Northern Minerals Limited. Most recently, Northern Star has increased its holding in the region.
Tanami Gold also conducted exploration adjacent to the West Tanami Project tenements. its focus was the development of Coyote and Bald Hill (formerly Kookaburra) mines. However, its exploration efforts also identified anomalous drill results at Mojave, Dove-Tern and Tent Hill within the West Tanami Project tenements. The West Tanami Project tenements are also scattered with recognised historical prospects (Figure 2.5).

Killi has collated data from previous exploration. Figure 2.6 provides the locations of previous drilling within the tenements. Most of the drilling is relatively shallow and does not test bedrock. The Killi Killi and Stubbins Formations were generally targeted.
Killi has recorded the following quantities of drilling and exploration:
-
+60,000 surface geochemical samples (rock chips, lag, soils).
-
+2,900 reverse circulation (RC) and diamond drillholes with associated assays and lithological data.
-
+27,000 aircore and RAB drillholes with associated assays and lithological data.
-
+11,000 vacuum drillholes with assays.
-

High-level interpretation of the datasets was carried out within the context of the regional mineralization controls, with the results providing the basis for the selection of the tenements. Specifically, mapping of gold and arsenic levels from historical drilling delineated several strikeextensive, west-northwest and north-northeast-trending linear geochemical anomalies, interpreted as mineralising structures (Figure 2.7).
Along these structures, multiple coherent zones of gold and arsenic anomalism were the focus of systematic shallow exploration by previous explorers. Despite the evidence of large mineralised systems, the targets were rarely tested by deeper RC or diamond drilling due to the historical focus on the Coyote style of deposits that occur at or near surface. Figure 2.8 shows the separate intensities of the gold and arsenic anomalism over the tenements.

Other exploration data available includes regional magnetics (Figure 2.9) and regional gravity (Figure 2.10) surveys. There are subtle magnetics anomalies, or magnetic lows associated with gold occurrences. However, a number of the other sites in the Tanami with known mineralization also have subtle magnetic expression. Elsewhere magnetic highs also provide possible targets.
Similar observations are made for the gravity survey at the scale of the data. Bald Hill (Kookaburra), Coyote, Tanami goldfields and Groundrush are associated with large gravity highs, while the Granites, Dead Bullock Soak and Twin Bonanza are associated with more subtle gravity features. The West Tanami Project tenements include both large areas of gravity highs and areas with lower gravity levels. Significant results are provided in Appendix A.

2.5 Exploration
Killi has identified a number of new or known targets within the tenements. The initial assessment of the prospectivity considered the whole tenement area, as much of the data is at a regional scale and the geology is related across all tenements.
Information used included geology and structural interpretation, and magnetic and gravity survey data. Results from RAB and AC drilling above 50 ppb Au and 20 ppm As were used to highlight areas of anomalous gold mineralization as shown in Figure 2.7. A gold level of 50 ppb Au was applied as this level was used in the discovery of Callie. These levels highlighted a number of targets within the tenements as shown on including:
-
E 80/5103 - Tent Hill.
-
E 80/5102 - Hermes and Yosemite.
-
E 80/5101 - Slatey Creek, Oracle and Mt Brophy. E 80/5100 – Atlantic.

2.5.1 E80/5103 Tent Hill
2.5.1.1 Tent Hill
Geology
Mineralization identified at Tent Hill to date is spatially associated with the carbonaceous metasediment and dolerite contact zone shown in Figure 2.12. The Bald Hill Member is host to the Bald Hill and Sandpiper deposits which are just outside the tenement boundary to the east. These gold deposits are associated with sheared sediments in the Stubbins Formation adjacent to the contact with the dolerites. They appear as selvages around quartz carbonate veins.
The sequence is folded with Bald Hill occurring around a fold and limbs while Sandpiper is with in an anticlinal limb. Mineralization is shallow, typically 1 m to 2 m below surface. The geology and structures cross into the Tent Hill tenement.

Historic exploration
Historic exploration in the project area was primarily undertaken by Tanami Exploration. Most exploration occurred outside of the tenement due to the shallow cover and mapped sequence of carbonaceous sediments and dolerites to the east. Other anomalous zones identified outside the tenement include Hawk (11 m @ 3.58 g/t Au) and Osprey (4 m @ 15.8 g/t Au). The prospect locations are as shown in Figure 2.12. Data from the areas outside the tenements was not verified.

Within the tenement, Tent Hill East has drill intercepts including 1 m at 9.1 g/t Au and 1 m at 3.9 g/t Au. In addition, Lyrebird, just outside the tenement boundary, has a drill intercept of 12 m at 5 g/t Au.
Within the tenement Tanami Exploration undertook AC and RAB drilling at Tent Hill East (Table 2.1). A zone of anomalous gold grade was identified covering an area 500 m by 200 m. Infill drilling was completed to 40 m by 40 m. Some of the anomalous blade drilling was completed to refusal in the cover sequence and was not followed up by deeper drilling into the bedrock.

From the drilling results, Tanami Exploration suggested at the time that the drilling was open to the west-northwest along a number of trends as shown in Figure 2.13. Most notable of these is the Vulture trend that passes through Tent Hill East and plunges under the cover sequence to the west. The Vulture trend overprints a synform structure in the folded sequence.

To the northeast of Tent Hill, limited drilling was performed at Dove within the folded dolerite. Anomalous low grades as provided in Table 2.2 were reported. In addition, two surface samples reported grades of around 2 g/t Au from within a synform. Elsewhere within this geological environment such as at Lyrebird, this type of low-grade anomalism has been followed up with RC drilling. At Lyrebird drilling returned 12 m at 5 g/t Au.

2.5.1.2 Tahiti
Historic exploration
From 2001 Barrick undertook geological, geophysical, geochemical, and drilling surveys of the Tahiti and Bahamas area. This included Landsat TM and airborne geophysics. Blade drilling was to refusal on bedrock. AC drilling identified the Bramall trend (Figure 2.14), a 26 km anomalous zone adjacent to Tahiti. Elevated gold grades were identified at the Slatey Creek granite contact with the Stubbins formation and major faults.
There were 21 drillhole drilled at Tahiti. These were follow-up of a broad zone of soil Au and As anomalism identified in 2002. Follow up drilling generated results with minor gold grade elevations (Table 2.3).

2.5.1.3 Mondengo Historic exploration
Mondengo is in the south of the tenement, south of Tahiti (Figure 2.14). There were 19 drillholes drilled into the Hawaii – Mondengo area, following up arsenic geochemical anomalies identified in 2002. Drilling here intersected the Killi Killi Formation at approximately 25 m depth.
AC drilling targeted splays off regional structures. The area was moderately to strongly metamorphosed. In 2007 two deeper RAB holes were drilled with the best intersection being 4 m at 0.36 g/t Au.
2.5.1.4 E 80/5103 prospectivity
The Tent Hill project area was originally identified through the use of the surface geochemistry in similar geology and the understanding of local trends and regional prospectivity. Following closer inspection and preliminary analysis of historical exploration data, it was identified that potential exists for gold mineralization along north-northwest trends, such as the Vulture trend and Dove trend, that plunge under the cover that gets thicker to the west. Tent Hill and Dove are recognised as historical prospects adjacent the recently completed Bald Hill mine. Another target here is along trend of Lyrebird.
The Tent Hill prospect is prospective for gold targets. Past exploration identified gold in drilling at the prospect, and anomalous gold in soil anomalies and outcropping geology to the east. This includes grade intercepts of 1 m at 3.1 g/t Au and 1 m at 9.1 g/t Au. The bedrock beneath the cover remains largely untested by drilling. Much of the previous drilling is known to be shallow.
The extent and continuity outside of this drilling has not been tested at depth and laterally to investigate targets such as those shown in Figure 2.15 and Figure 2.16.

Geology
The Hermes prospect is made up of Hermes, Hermes South and Casper (Figure 2.17). These sit within the folded sequence of dolerite and metasediment in the Stubbins Formation, cross cut by large-scale structures. The area correlates with a gravity low. Several quartz vein and blow, and sandstone rock outcrops are evident. There was also evidence of brecciation and fracturing, and ferruginous quartz, with vuggy features also developed. It is evident the area has undergone significant deformation.

Historic exploration
Low level historic anomalies around 200 ppb Au were followed up with RAB and AC at a spacing of 400 m by 200 m drilled to blade refusal. No significant results were reported at Hermes greater than 6 ppb Au. Depth of cover is generally 30 m, although small pockets of outcrop are evident. However, an arsenic anomaly was identified.
Historic drilling to the west at Casper, and to the south identified refolded dolerites and meta sediments. These are cross-cut by structure. The peak gold grade intersection from drilling was 1 m at 50 ppb Au. However, vacuum drilling was shallow, to an average of 16 m, and widely spaced. 400 m by 50 m. RAB drilling to over 50 m depth was widely spaced 300 m by 600 m over three lines. Therefore, drilling was systematic rather than specifically targeting identified objectives.
Only four lines of drilling approximately one kilometre apart were drilled at Hermes South. This produced the most promising results including 3 m at 1 g/t Au from 24 m depth. A second drillhole reported a 1 g/t Au assay in the collar sample.
Significant drilling results are provided in Table 2.4.

2.5.2.2 Yosemite
Geology
Yosemite comprises sandstones and siltstones with minor cherts and mafics thought to be dolerite intrusions. Quartz veining occurs, predominantly at the siltstone/sandstone contact or contacts with the dolerite. Correlations were made with the Coyote stratigraphy. The prospect sits adjacent to the Stubbins Formation and Killi Killi Formation contact.
Historic exploration
Yosemite was drilled by Tanami Gold in 2008. One drill intercept recorded 1 m at 1.16 g/t Au.
Yosemite is a zone of anomalous gold and arsenic mineralization that trends for approximately 8 km across both Yosemite and Mojave prospects. The peak gold grade intersected from drilling is 3 m at 1.69 g/t Au at Yosemite. Drilling at Mojave reported 1 m at 2.5 g/t Au and 6 m at 1.41 g/t Au.
These drilling results completed by others are for sites outside the Killi Hermes-Yosemite tenement. Drilling that passes into the Killi tenement is limited and away from the main trend of mineralization. There is no evidence of drilling investigating the strike extension of the Yosemite trend within the tenement.

2.5.2.3 E80/5102 prospectivity
To date drilling at both Hermes and Yosemite is shallow. Yet the thickness of the cover is 20 m at Yosemite and 30 m at Hermes. Yosemite is recognised for mineralization and similarities with Coyote, yet there is no drilling of the trend within the tenement.
The absence of drilling at depth at either Hermes or Yosemite leaves these as potential targets for further exploration for gold mineralization.
2.5.1 E 80/5101 Slatey Creek
2.5.1.1 Geology
The Slatey Creek tenement is host to Slatey West and Slatey East, (also referred to collectively as Slatey Creek), Oracle, Mt Brophy and Fritz. Other prospects include Mt Boulder and Gardiner Creek. The prospect Don is outside the tenement to the northwest as shown in Figure 2.19. Fritz is the eastern extension of Slatey Creek East and is discussed as part of Slatey Creek. Figure 2.19 also shows surface sample gold assay results for some of the prospects.
The geology for the tenement is dominated by the folded carbonaceous unit and dolerite within the Stubbins Formation forming anticlinal and synclinal structures, overlain by the Killi Killi Formation as shown in Figure 2.20. It is interesting to note at this stage of exploration the similarities in structural geometry with the Dead Bullock Soak geology in the Dead Bullock Formation (Figure 2.21), suggestive of similar orogenic processes.

2.5.1.2 Slatey West and Slatey East (Slatey Creek) exploration
Exploration at Slatey Creek commenced in 1995 by Barrick, comprising mapping rock chip, soil and lag sampling. Samples were collected from both the Slatey East and Slatey West outcrops and the ground in between. Lag samples also returned anomalous values up to 129 ppb Au. Anomalous grades up to 2.5 g/t Au were returned from samples on the southern side of the synform at Slatey East.
At Slatey West rock chip samples from quartz veins returned grades from 176 ppb Au from ironstained quartz in the north of the prospect to 633 ppb Au in grey quartz on the southern side of the prospect (Figure 2.22). Figure 2.22 also provides the locations of all drillholes more than 10 m deep and grab samples assaying above 0.1 g/t Au.

Subsequent wide-spaced vacuum drilling did not identify further mineralization. However, at 800 m by 200 m spacing with shallow drilling techniques, it is difficult to identify narrow targets. Lithologies intersected by drilling included granite, siltstone, greywacke, mica schist, arkose, silcrete, mafic rocks and minor BIF, drawing some parallels with the Dead Bullock Formation rock types (Figure 2.21).

Limited drilling deeper than 10 m has occurred at Slatey Creek, as can be seen from Figure 2.22. Anomalous lag samples highlight the locations of outcrop. The data is overlain on the magnetic survey image that shows an anomalous high in the centre right of the plan around Mt Boulder in a large hinge zone, and trends west highlighting both Slatey Creek and Oracle.
2.5.1.3 Oracle exploration
Lag sampling was performed over Oracle at a 50 m spacing on lines 1,000 m apart. Subsequently Barrick undertook a drilling program on 500 m by 500 m along the northern limb of the dolerite and the associated magnetic anomaly, targeting the transported cover. Drilling primarily intersected the Killi Killi Formation and the Twigg Formation that hosts Bald Hill, below up to 30 m of cover.
Within the broad spread of drillholes, selected drilling results reported anomalous intersections primarily in bucky quartz (Table 2.5). Grades included 9 m @ 0.1g/t Au including 1 m @ 0.4 g/t Au (drillhole BLRB0154) and 9 m @ 0.1 g/t Au including 1 m @ 0.26 g/t Au (drillhole BLAC1777). The drilling also identified pyritic quartz veining in one location hosted within the sediment. Figure 2.23 provides the location of all drillholes, including those that do not meet this criterion.
The geology is folded and sheared and has a magnetic elevated signature. Arsenic anomalism is present in lag samples over an area 650 m by 450 m associated with the folded sequence. Sediments and dolerites of the Killi Killi formation have been identified (Figure 2.23).

The target for the Oracle and Slatey Creek area is the potential repetition of the model seen at Bald Hill. The hinge zones of folds are a concentration of mineralization. Using this model (Figure 2.3), similar fold orientation and units within the Killi Killi Formation are anticipated as a key exploration target as shown in Figure 2.25.

Correlation has also been made with the quartz veining present and the quartz seen to the north of the tenement at the Don prospect. At Don, samples returned grades such as 16.8 g/t Au and 5.5 g/t Au from quartz veins within an anticline. Gold nuggets, also discovered at Don prospect, reflect orogenic style type gold mineralization.
Oracle offers exploration potential as the area is identified as anomalous in gold. Yet, the drilling has generally been shallow and within cover material that is up to 40 m thick. The size of some Dead Bullock Soak targets is narrow, suggesting the same could apply here. Similarly, for Slatey Creek, there is limited drilling. Follow-up drilling will need to be completed as drill fences with overlap of drillholes, and intersection of bedrock. Bedrock that was intersected at Oracle also resembles the rock types at Coyote.

Further support for mineralization in the region is the presence of anomalous surface grades at Don to the north of the tenement. Multiple rock chip samples are over 1.0 g/t Au (Figure 2.26). With similar geology, the data supports Slatey Creek, Oracle and the synclinal hinge zone of carbonate beds between as being prospective for gold.
There is limited data for other prospects such as Mt Brophy, Mt Boulder and Gardiner Creek. However, available data such as anomalous surface grades at Mt Brophy and favourable geology at Mt Boulder suggest these areas also require further investigation.

Low-grade anomalous gold grades were identified from reconnaissance drilling conducted by Barrick in 2001. Atlantic was drilled with 57 drillholes on a 500 m by 500 m pattern. This drilling intersected sediments equivalent to the Killi Killi Formation and gneissic granites beneath up to 75 m of cover. Mineralization within the transported cover was associated with saprolites.

2.5.3.2 Winterbrook Prospect
The Winterbrook prospect is characterised by an anomalous northeast trending demagnetised structure as shown in Figure 2.29 that is interpreted to reflect hydrothermal alteration. It is orientated parallel to the basin-forming faults. This occurs along strike from the Balfour Downs manganese and copper deposits further to the southwest.
A copper-zinc-arsenic geochemical anomaly has been identified coincident with the demagnetize structure. This is approximately three kilometers long as shown in Figure 2.30. This chemical anomaly is coincident with the magnetic anomaly and the gravity anomaly as shown in Figure 2.31. There is limited outcropping geology, however, these anomalies are understood to be spatially associated with sub-cropping gently folded shales that host the copper and manganese mineralization along strike.
The limited geochemical data and associated geophysical anomalies indicate signs of prospectivity that warrant further investigation.

A geochemical anomaly is associated with shales and dolerite intrusives as shown in Figure 2.33. These are considered similar to the rocks that hosts the high-grade copper mineralization at Ilgarari and Kumarina further southwest.
The limited ground-based geochemical data and geophysics provide reasonable prospectivity that warrants further investigation.

3 Ravenswood North, Queensland
3.1 Project description
The Ravenswood North Project comprises five granted EPMs covering 582.7 km[2] that are centred between Townsville and Charters Towers in northern Queensland (Figure 3.1). The licence package is prospective for Devonian to Permian-aged intrusion-related gold (IRG) deposits such as the Ravenswood Goldfield (10 Moz Au), Kidston (4 Moz Au), Mt Leyshon (3 Moz Au), Mt Wright (1.5 Moz Au) and Reward (0.2 Moz Au) that all occur in Northern Queensland.

==> picture [429 x 233] intentionally omitted <==
Source: AMC. Projection MGA 2020 (Zone 55).
3.2 Regional geology
The basement for the Ravenswood North Project area consists of metasediments of the Charters Towers Metamorphics. The Charters Towers Metamorphics are Neoproterozoic-Early Cambrian in age and were deformed and regionally metamorphosed during the Cambrian Delamerian Orogeny. Early Ordovician extension is recorded in the basement sediments with the emplacement of Ordovician-Silurian granites and granodiorites of the Ravenswood Batholith (Figure 3.2). This composite plutonic mass crops out over >6,000 km² of the largely concealed Lolworth-Ravenswood terrane which forms part of the northern Tasman Fold Belt. Intrusions of the Ravenswood batholith are mainly oxidized (magnetite-series), hornblende bearing I-type granitoids that were emplaced into a composite basement.
Extension also generated the Burdekin Basin where sedimentation commenced during the Devonian. These sediments unconformably overly the basement rocks and comprise sediments of the Fanning River, Dotswood and Keelbottom Groups which represent on-lap of marine to terrigenous sediments onto basement highs within the Burdekin Basin. Sedimentary units derived from volcanic extrusive events are also present.
The sedimentary sequences have been deformed into regional scale open folds with fold axes trending west-northwest which is sub parallel to the main fault fabric and forms the northern most exposure of the Thomson Fold Belt.

Throughout the province, several high-level intrusive complexes of Carboniferous-Permian age intrude the Devonian-aged sediments that concentrated magmatic fluids along the contacts between contrasting rock types. Fluids were also concentrated along pre-existing faults and fractures, as well as along intrusion-related faults, fractures, veins, breccias and pipe structures. The intrusive centres are also commonly mineralised. Some of the intrusive centres include Kitty O’Shea, Golden Valley, and Mount Success.
Dominant structural features include the east-west Alex Hill shear zone and numerous east-west and northwest trending structures including the Myrtlevale, Hell Hole Gorge and Kitty-Caesar Fault zones. The Hell Hole Gorge Fault forms the northern margin of the Ravenswood Batholith. A major northwest trending graben is also present in the northern part of the area and can be identified by the southern bounding Myrtlevale Fault which creates an unconformable contact between the Devonian Fanning River sediments and the Ravenswood Batholith.

In 2021, Killi commissioned a review of an ASTER scene to generate spectral anomaly maps of the area (Figure 3.4). The review included mapping areas of known mineralization such as at Mt Success/Golden Valley to confirm the spectral characteristics. As shown in Figure 3.5 the outcropping workings of these mineralised breccia systems in the Mt Success Rhyolite show consistent white mica>kaolinite ± alunite alteration assemblages. Similar assemblages are present at nearby Kitty O’Shea and Far Fanning mines. Areas with similar spectral responses are prospective for IRG systems. AMC considers that much of the area is covered by black soil plains that mask the underlying bedrock and potential for undiscovered mineralization.

3.5.1 EPM26889 Rocky Bar
Local geology
The local geology of EPM26889 comprises a sliver of northwest-trending NeoproterozoicCambrian aged Charters Towers Metamorphic rocks in the central part of the licence that occur on the western side of a prominent northwest trending regional fault (Figure 3.6). The licence is dominated by Ordovician to Silurian aged granite to the east with younger Silurian to Devonian granites dominating to the west.
Unconformably overlying the basement granites are Devonian aged quartzo-feldspathic and calcareous sediments of the Burdekin, Keelbottom and Stud Groups.
A smaller area of the Permian to Carboniferous Kennedy Group felsite rocks, that include highlevel intrusive stocks and dykes, occurs on the western edge of the licence near the Burdekin River. The Mt Keelbottom breccia-hosted gold mineralization occurs closely associated with the Kennedy Group intrusive stocks and dykes and prominent northwest-trending structures. This prospect has been described by various authors to show similar characteristic to known IRG deposits in the district (AAM 2020f).

Exploration
Interpretation of magnetic and gravity data indicates two prominent northeast trending lineaments, the Keelbottom and Mount Success lineaments, which are interpreted as cross faults. Orthogonal lineaments occur in two areas in the south and to the north. Gravity reflected the similar northeast trending Keelbottom and Mount Success lineaments and also showed gravity highs where outcropping granitoids were mapped (AAM, 2020f). Several other magnetic and radiometric anomalies were identified with some attributed to outcropping Permo-Carboniferous and Silurian-aged intrusive rocks. Structures within the granite are highlighted by magnetic and radiometric surveys and may be potential conduits for mineralising fluids. Results of rockchip gold results in the area are shown in Figure 3.7. Minor anomalism exists.

3.5.2 EPM26890 Mt Success Regional
Local geology
EPM26890 occurs within a 100 km long northwest trending structural corridor where several Permo-Carboniferous aged breccia-hosted intrusion related gold systems occur from the Ravenswood goldfield to Piccadilly in the northwest. EPM26890 surrounds the Mt Success Breccia Complex that intrudes the Devonian limestone and calcareous arkose and Permo-Carboniferous Mt Success Rhyolite sills and flows (Figure 3.8). Gold mineralization is interpreted to occur closely associated with diorite to andesite intrusives. Gold occurs within highly altered, sulphide-bearing, clast-supported, mosaic-textured, marginal breccias on the southeastern flank of the Mt Success breccia pipe.

Assessments in the field have shown that at Target D sampling concentrated on an area of small historical workings identified in the government mineral occurrence database but has only been sampled once before by Newmont in the 1986 field season. No other work has been completed on the prospect (to Killi’s understanding) and systematic soil sampling is required to understand the full extent of the mineralization.
Mineralization is hosted in gossanous sub-crop with three small pits sunk into the mineralised zones. A mullock dump at the site was sampled. It is not known when or how much gold was extracted but the workings are small (<50 m[2] ). Composite sampling from the stockpiles returned 16.2 g/t Au and 7.2 g/t Au, replicating sampling by Newmont that returned 18.6 g/t Au and 5 g/t Ag.
The sulphidic veins are hosted in granodiorite situated on the Golden Valley fault zone. An aeromagnetic low is associated to mineralization and may represent a mineralised intrusive under shallow cover (Figure 3.10). This mineralization appears to be an extension of the Golden Valley mineralization located on a major fault zone between Target D and Golden Valley.
Follow up soil sampling is recommended at Target D to delineate the extent of mineralization.

3.5.3 EPM26892 Mt Hotspur
Local geology
The Mt Hotspur area occurs within a 100 km long northwest trending structural corridor where several Permo-Carboniferous aged breccia-hosted intrusion related gold systems occur from the Ravenswood goldfield to Piccadilly in the northwest. Within the licence area the Early Carboniferous Mt Douglas volcano-sedimentary formation and the Horse Pocket Volcanic Formations are intruded by Late Carboniferous-Early Permian intrusives including the Emysland granodiorite (Figure 3.11). Extensive narrow Zn-Pb-Ag-Au veins have been previously defined at the Mt Douglas prospect.

Historic Exploration
The Mt Hotspur area has had well documented exploration since 1997. Regional programmes of geophysics, soil and rock geochemistry and drilling has been conducted by Central Pacific Minerals NL (Pope, 1997) and Carpentaria Gold Pty Ltd between 2007 and 2015 (Inthisaen, 2012 and Lisowiec, 2016).
The primary focus of exploration is in the area around Mt Douglas/Mt Hotspur intrusive centres. Rock chip samples are shown in Figure 3.12 and a summary of the drilling and soil anomalism superimposed on the regional total magnetic intensity aeromagnetics is shown in Figure 3.13.

The anomalous geochemistry seen over Mt Douglas was tested with drilling and IP which had limited success to date. The prospect area has been influenced by folding associated with the formation of the Fig Tree Syncline, which is a relatively open fold with a shallow (~20° to -30° plunge towards the southeast). The prospect lies on the eastern limb of the syncline and as such the dominant bedding orientation dips approximately 30° to 45° towards the east-northeast. Stratabound zones of breccia occur around the fold hinges, which are thought to be related to a competency contrast between the different units, resulting in localised shearing and dilation (extension) during folding. It is possible that these zones acted as pathways and/or traps for hydrothermal fluids during mineralization.

Historic Exploration
Historic exploration included rock chip and stream sediment sampling as shown in Figure 3.17. Weak anomalism associated with stream sediment sampling returned two coincident zones of copper anomalism and rock chip sampling returned anomalous As (250 ppm) and Cu (125 ppm) from outcrop in the drainage area. 300 m to the south, rock chip sampling returned anomalous results of 0.08 g/t Au, 2 g/t Ag, 495 ppm Pb (Figure 3.17).
The potential for orogenic gold hosted in granitic units, similar to mineralization at Charters Towers was examined. Bouguer gravity was reviewed to identify major deep-seated structures. Southwest to northeast trending structures and cross cutting northwest to southeast structures intersect both the Charters Towers gold field and the Dotswood project (Figure 3.18). Orogenic gold fields can be located on the intersection of these deep-seated features.

3.5.5 EPM26909 Mt Boddington
Local geology
The geological setting at Mt Boddington consists of the Lavery Creek and Mt Boddington granite suites intruded by radial microgranite dykes (Figure 3.19). Such microgranite dykes indicate a buried intrusive source. This blind intrusive is potentially associated with shear-hosted gold mineralization in historical workings at Middle Ridge prospect. This prospect is a small quartz vein blow.

Exploration
Limited reconnaissance exploration has been conducted on the EPM26909 area. Rock chip and stream sediment sampling and a single drill hole are shown in Figure 3.20. The association of metamorphic rocks from Jindavik/Sandy Creek and anomalous rock chips in EPM26909 suggests granite-hosted shear related, Charters Towers type mineralization, extends into the Mt Boddington licence. It may also be due to intrusive related fluids exploiting shear structures. The Sandy Creek and Jindavik prospects have been mapped as being in Charters Towers Metamorphics.

3.5.6 EPM27828 application - Mt Rawdon West
3.5.6.1 Project description
The Mt Rawdon West project comprises one EPM application covering 292 km[2] located around Mt Perry and 10 km along strike from Mt Rawdon gold mine.
Historical exploration has identified copper and gold anomalism. This is associated with a northeast trending intrusion related mineralization corridor. The main targets identified are at Wonbah, Wonbah Knob and Edina Range as shown in Figure 3.21. The Mt Perry goldfields are known to contain multiple intrusion related gold deposits.
Wonbah is the primary target with a three kilometre by one kilometre copper-gold-molybdenum geochemical anomaly. This location coincides with the intersection of regional mineralization controlling faults.
Wonbah Knob contains evidence of historic mining. This included adits into a breccia pipe, with strongly altered granodiorite, approximately 150 m in diameter. There was historically minor production of copper and gold from adits and a small open pit. Grades were reported up to 2.1% copper from adits and 1.4% copper from outcrop.
These prospects and the anomalism identified at Edina Range provide targets for further investigation once the application is granted.

5 Planned work programmes
5.1 Western Australia
E80/5103: The Tent Hill tenement has a number of target areas including Tent Hill, Lyrebird, and Dove extension within the Vulture and other related trends which were identified as having similar characteristics to Kookaburra and Sandpiper but are metres beneath the recent cover sequence. In addition, the prospects along the Bramall trend such as Tahiti and Mondengo, have anomalous gold associated with each target area.
All three target areas require follow up field work including detailed mapping, rock and soil geochemistry, close spaced ground and airborne geophysics and drilling, due to the cover, to identify areas of potential mineralization. The first of these targets is Tent Hill where significant gold grades were previously intercepted.
E80/5102: The Hermes tenement has a number of target areas, in particular, Hermes and Yosemite are prospective, supported by anomalous gold grades. Drilling was only to shallow depths. Planned work includes follow up mapping and geochemisry, infill and deeper drilling and ground and airborne geophysics at Hermes initially.
E80/5101: The Slatey Creek tenement has geology and structure indicative of Dead Bullock Soak. There are anomalous gold grades at a number of sites. Outcrops are deformed and contain rocks of interest. It is planned that the main areas be mapped and sampled in detail, ground and airborne geophysics, with targeted drilling programmes are defined to explore the targets at depth.
E80/5100: The West Bramall tenement is relatively untested. The results of the historical data show anomalous gold results and the magnetic high below provides a target at depth. Mapping and geochemical sampling and additional geophysics are required.
5.2 Queensland
EPM26889: The Rocky Bar tenement has a number of target areas including Rocky Bar-Windmill, M-10/13 and M-19 which were identified as having similar characteristics to the Mt Keelbottom prospect including large circular magnetic low features, potassic alteration indicated by the radiometric data and strongly anomalous gold grades surrounding each target area from the stream sediment geochemistry. All three target areas are recommended for follow up field work including detailed mapping, rock and soil geochemistry and airborne Hymap hyperspectral data acquisition and processing to identify areas of extensive hydrothermal alteration typical of IRG systems.
EPM26890: It is recommended for EPM 26890 that a reconnaissance soil sampling survey be completed at Target D and infill soil sampling survey at Mt Success West. Further mapping at Target E and Mt Success West is recommended.
EPM26892: Planned work includes follow up, infill and extension soil sampling over the West Branch prospect and scout drilling.
EPM26908: It is recommended that the main prospect areas be mapped, sampled and an assessment be made on the project based on results.

EPM26909: The results of the historical data review, structural interpretation and radiometric interpretation suggest the project has potential to host an IRG system based on:
-
Anomalous rock chip samples from previous explorers at Prospect A and B along what is interpreted as major shear zones at the contact to an intrusive body indicated potential mineralised fluids in the system.
-
Gold workings at Middle Ridge prospect at a major structural zone are potentially related to a blind intrusive source prospective for the IRG model (Morrison 2017 Intrusion-Related Gold Deposits in North Queensland).
-
Potassium highs surrounding interpreted blind intrusions supportive of IRG model.
Further work will require systematic sampling and mapping of the Middle Ridge prospect and the associated radial dykes, focusing in on areas of the interpreted blind intrusive centres.
5.3 Planned expenditure
There is provision in Killi’s proposed budget for airborne Versatile Time-Domain Electromagnetic (VTEM) geophysical surveys at the West Tanami Project over E80/5101, E80/5102, and the eastern half of E80/5103, and at Ravenswood North Project over EPM 26890 and EPM 26892. These are to identify whether zones of mineralization have electro-magnetic signatures that can be used as a tool to identify with greater detail, the preferred targets on these tenements. AAM received quotations for these surveys and has passed them on to Killi.
Programmes of aircore (AC), reverse circulation (RC) and diamond drilling (DD) are proposed over the next two years following up on the prioritised targets. RC drilling is also proposed for up to four targets with additional drilling at Tent Hill and Hermes being first priority.
Killi proposes to commence field activities immediately following its admission to the official list of the ASX and once approvals are in place.
Killi has prepared staged exploration programmes, specific to the exploration potential of the prospects, which is consistent with its budget allocation. AMC considers that the project areas have sufficient technical merit and evidence of previous exploration to justify the proposed programmes and expenditure.
Table 5.1 provides a breakdown of planned expenditure in the first two years totalling A$4.8 million of field work within the A$6.8 million of funds.

Dear Directors
SOLICITOR’S REPORT ON TENEMENTS
This report is prepared for inclusion in a prospectus for the initial public offering to be lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission on or around 1 6 November 2021 for the issue of up to 30,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of Killi Resources Limited (ACN 647 322 790) ( Company ) at an issue price of $0.20 per share to raise up to $6,000,000 ( Prospectus ).
1. SCOPE
We have been requested to report on mining tenements in which the Company has an interest in Queensland and Western Australia.
Details of the WA Tenements and the Queensland Tenements (as those terms are defined in section 2(a), and together being the Tenements ) are set out in Schedule 1 and Schedule 2 respectively.
This report is limited to the Searches (defined below) set out in section 2 of this Report.
2. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
(a) Company’s interest
The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, has registered interests in the following mining tenements and an application for a mining tenement that are located in Western Australia ( WA Tenements ):
Killi Resources Limited 16 November 2021
Page 2
| Tenement | Status | Registered holder/applicant |
|---|---|---|
| E80/5100 | Granted | Iron Bull Bangemall Limited (IBB) |
| E80/5101 | Granted | IBB |
| E80/5102 | Granted | IBB |
| E80/5103 | Granted | IBB |
| E46/1383 | Application | Access Australia Mining Pty Ltd (AAM Australia) |
The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary AAM Australia, has registered interests in the following mining tenements and an application for a mining tenement that are located in Queensland (together, the Queensland Tenements ):
| Tenement | Status | Registered holder/applicant |
|---|---|---|
| EPM 26889 | Granted | AAM Australia |
| EPM 26890 | Granted | AAM Australia |
| EPM 26892 | Granted | AAM Australia |
| EPM 26908 | Granted | AAM Australia |
| EPM 26909 | Granted | AAM Australia |
| EPM 27828 | Application | AAM Australia |
On 18 August 2021, AAM Australia entered into an option and joint venture agreement with 1315795 B.C. Ltd., a company incorporated in British Columbia ( Numberco ) ( Option and Joint Venture Agreement ), under which AAM Australia granted Numberco the option to earn-in up to a 70% interest into the Tenements comprising the Ravenswood North Project (being all the Queensland Tenements except for EPM27828). The material terms of the Option and Joint Venture Agreement are summarised in Schedule 4.
(b) Applications for Tenements
AAM Australia currently has an application for EPM27828 in Queensland and E46/1383 in Western Australia which has not yet been granted.
The grant of these Tenements is therefore not guaranteed and the application for the Tenement will need to satisfy the Future Act Provisions to be valid under the NTA.
(c)
Rent
All of the rental payments which are due for the most recently completed tenement year for each Tenement have been paid in full.
(d)
Expenditure
All of the Tenements have been expended in full for the most recently completed tenement year, except for the applications for E46/1383 and EPM 27828, for which no expenditure is yet recorded.
5457-01/2813420_8
Killi Resources Limited Page 3 16 November 2021
(e) Environment
The Queensland Searches indicate:
-
(i) the presence of 'environmentally sensitive areas' (ESAs) within EPM 26889, EPM 26909, EPM 26908 and EPM 27828, which are set out in section 9.7; and
-
(ii) that there are Restricted Areas (as that term is defined in section 9.9) covering certain of the Queensland Tenements, which are set out in Schedule 2 of this Report.
The Company has confirmed that, to the best of its knowledge, these intersects will not prevent the Company from undertaking its proposed mining activities on the Queensland Tenements.
(f) Defence Training Area
The Queensland Searches indicate that EPM 26892 overlaps with the Dotswood Defence Training Area.
On 4 September 2020, AAM Australia entered into a deed of access with the Commonwealth of Australia with respect to tenements EPM 26890 and EPM 26892. The material terms and conditions of this deed are summarised in Schedule 4.
The Company has confirmed that, to the best of its knowledge, this deed of access permits the Company to undertake its proposed exploration activities on the areas of the Queensland Tenements that overlap the Dotswood Training Area.
(g) Native title and Aboriginal Heritage
Tenements EPM 26889, EPM 26890 and EPM 26892 overlap with recorded Aboriginal Heritage Sites. These sites are listed in section 8.6 and Schedule 3.
The Company’s subsidiaries have entered into the following native title and heritage agreements:
-
(i) a Native Title Heritage Protection and Mineral Exploration Agreement dated 11 December 2019 in relation to E80/5100, E80/5101, E80/5102 and E80/5103; and
-
(ii) a Cultural Heritage and Exploration Agreement in regard to EPM 26908 with the Birriah Aboriginal Corporation RNTBC ICN 8261 on its own behalf and on behalf of the Birriah People (Birriah Aboriginal Corporation).
These agreements are summarised in Schedule 4 of this Report.
The Company has confirmed that, to the best of its knowledge, these agreements permit the Company to undertake its proposed exploration activities on the areas of the Tenements that overlap with the recorded Aboriginal Heritage Sites.

We have not been provided with or reviewed any environmental reports, impact assessments, ecology reports, or any other agreements in relation to the Queensland Tenements.
5. DESCRIPTION OF THE WA TENEMENTS
The WA Tenements comprise exploration licences (or in the case of, E46/1383, an application for an exploration licence) granted under the Mining Act 1978 (WA) ( WA Mining Act ). Schedule 1 provides a list of the WA Tenements. The below summary provides a description of the nature and key terms of these types of mining tenements as set out in the WA Mining Act and potential successor tenements.
(a) Rights
The holder of an exploration licence is entitled to enter the land for the purposes of exploration for minerals with employees and contractors and such vehicles, machinery and equipment as may be necessary or expedient.
5457-01/2813420_8
Killi Resources Limited Page 6 16 November 2021
(b) Term
An exploration licence has a term of 5 years from the date of grant. The Minister may extend the term by a further period of 5 years followed by a further period or periods of 2 years.
(c) Retention status
The holder of an exploration licence granted after 10 February 2006 may apply for approval of retention status for the exploration licence. The Minister may approve the application where there is an identified mineral resource in or under the land the subject of the exploration licence but it is impractical to mine the resource for prescribed reasons. Where retention status is granted, the minimum expenditure requirements are reduced in the year of grant and cease in future years. However, the Minister has the right to impose a programme of works or require the holder to apply for a mining lease.
(d) Conditions
Exploration licences are granted subject to various standard conditions, including conditions relating to minimum expenditure, the payment of prescribed rent and royalties and observance of environmental protection and reporting requirements. These standard conditions are not detailed in Schedule 1. A failure to comply with these conditions or obtain an exemption from compliance may lead to forfeiture of the exploration licence.
(e) Relinquishment
The holder of an exploration licence applied for and granted after 10 February 2006 must relinquish not less than 40% of the blocks comprising the licence at the end of the fifth year. A failure to lodge the required partial surrender could render the tenement liable for forfeiture.
(f) Priority to apply for mining lease
The holder of an exploration licence has priority to apply for a mining lease over any of the land subject to the exploration licence. Any application for a mining lease must be made prior to the expiry of the exploration licence. The exploration licence remains in force until the application for the mining lease is determined.
(g) Transfer
No legal or equitable interest in an exploration licence can be transferred or otherwise dealt with during the first year of its term without the prior written consent of the Minister. Thereafter, there is no restriction on transfer or other dealings.
6. DESCRIPTION OF THE QUEENSLAND TENEMENTS
6.1 Legislative regime
The Queensland Tenements comprise exploration permits (or in the case of, EPM 27828, an application for an exploration permit) granted under the Mineral Resources Act 1989 (Qld) ( Mineral Resources Act ) for all minerals other than coal.
5457-01/2813420_8
Killi Resources Limited Page 7 16 November 2021
Schedule 2 provides a list of the Queensland Tenements and a summary of the results of the public resource authority reports of the Queensland Department of Resources ( QDR ).
The Mineral Resources Act establishes a tenure regime that governs the exploration for and production of minerals in Queensland.
The below summary provides a description of the nature and key terms of this type of permit as set out in the Mineral Resources Act.
6.2 Exploration Permits Minerals
(a) General
Exploration permits granted under the Mineral Resources Act allow a holder to use more advanced exploration methods to determine the quantity and quality of minerals present. Different exploration permits are required for minerals ( EPM ) and for coal.
An exploration permit allows a holder to prospect, conduct geophysical surveys, drilling, and sampling and testing of materials.
(b) Title
The public resource authority reports confirm the Company has a registered interest in all Tenements and further, that:
-
(i) AAM Australia, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, holds a 100% legal interest in the Ravenswood North Tenements (being, EPM 26889, EPM 26890, EPM 26892, EPM 26908 and EPM 26909); and
-
(ii) AAM Australia holds a 100% legal interest in Mt Rawdon West Tenement (being, EPM 27828),
as set out in Schedule 2.
(c) Term
An EPM can be granted for a period not exceeding 5 years and can be subsequently renewed at the end of the term. The holder of an EPM must apply for renewal not more than 6 months and not less than 3 months prior to the expiration of the current term unless otherwise permitted by the minister overseeing the Mineral Resources Act ( Minister ). Any renewal application lodged late (i.e. within the 3-month window before the expiry date) must be accompanied by justification for the late lodgement. The QDR may not accept the late lodgement in which case the tenement will expire on the expiry date. All efforts should be made to avoid late renewal lodgements.
Details of the current term and expiry of each Tenement, or the term being sought for each Tenement that is an application are set out in column 4 of the table in Schedule 2 of this Report.
(d) Rent
The holder of an EPM is required to pay annual rent on the tenement.
5457-01/2813420_8
Killi Resources Limited Page 8 16 November 2021
The amount of rent payable for each year is calculated by multiplying the number of sub-blocks within the EPM by the amount prescribed under regulation for the year. The rent payable for each sub-block is currently $164.90.
We have not undertaken any independent investigations with the QDR beyond the publicly available reports to verify that the rental payments for the Queensland Tenements are paid and up to date.
Details of the rent payable on each Tenement is set out in column 5 of the table in Schedule 2.
(e)
Security
Under the Mineral Resources Act, before an EPM is granted, the Minister determines the amount of security payable. The Minister takes into consideration the program of work, or activities proposed when determining the amount of security. An EPM must not be granted or renewed, and a condition of an EPM must not be varied, until the applicant for the grant deposits the security as so determined.
We have not undertaken any independent investigations with the QDR beyond the publicly available reports to verify the security held over the Queensland Tenements.
(f) Work program and expenditure
It is a condition of an EPM that its holder must carry out the program of works and studies for the purposes for which the EPM was granted. The Minister may include as a condition of grant that the holder comply with minimum expenditure requirements during the term of the EPM.
Details of the work programs and expenditure for each Tenement is set out in column 5 of the table in Schedule 2.
(g)
Relinquishment
Under the Mineral Resources Act (as amended by the Natural Resources and Other Legislation Amendment Act 2019 ( NROLA Act ) on 15 May 2020), it is a condition that each holder of an EPM relinquishes a portion of an EPM area either during the term or before renewal. Pursuant to section 139 of the Mineral Resources Act, it is a condition that each permit holder must reduce a permit area by 50% by the day that is 5 years after the grant of the permit, and reduce the area remaining by a further 50% by the day that is 10 years after the grant of the permit.
The tenement holder may apply to the QDR to vary the standard reduction conditions should it be necessary. Any such application must be made in accordance with the QDR operational policy “Application to vary conditions of an exploration permit” and must demonstrate the exceptional circumstances relating to the variation request.
The relinquishment schedule for each EPM, as stated in the public resource authority report, outlines when the reduction is due to occur.
5457-01/2813420_8
Killi Resources Limited Page 9 16 November 2021
The approval of the project status for the majority of an EPM allows the tenement holder to spread the reduction requirements for combined project tenements across the tenement. For example, if there was a requirement to relinquish 10 sub blocks from a certain tenement on a certain date, the project approval request allows the tenement holder to drop the required sub blocks from any other tenement/s in the project grouping. This ability to distribute the reduction requirements across the project tenements also extends to the spreading of work program and expenditure requirements. This provides a significant advantage in the ability of the tenement holder to comply with the individual tenement conditions and to successfully and efficiently complete an exploration program from a true project perspective.
(h) Dealings
The public resource authority reports indicate that no dealings (such a transfer, application to transfer or a registration of a mortgage or caveat) are registered over the Tenements.
7. NATIVE TITLE
7.1 General
The law of Australia recognises the existence of native title rights held by indigenous Australians over their traditional lands[1] . Native title exists where an indigenous group has maintained a continuous traditional connection with the land, and those rights have not been extinguished.
Native title may be extinguished:
-
(a) in whole by the grant of an interest in land conferring “exclusive possession” such as a freehold interest in the land; or
-
(b) in part by the grant of an interest conferring “non-exclusive possession” including the grant of pastoral leases and mining leases, or the creation of certain reserves. In this case, the native title will co-exist with the other rights to the land.
The Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) ( NTA ):
-
(a) provides a process for indigenous people to claim native title rights[2] and compensation3;
-
(b) confirms the validity of past actions (including grants of land tenure) by the Commonwealth and State governments4; and
-
(c) specifies the procedures which must be complied with to ensure that acts that may affect native title rights (such as the grant or renewal of a mining tenement) are valid.

4 Part 2, Division 2 of the NTA
5457-01/2813420_8
Killi Resources Limited Page 10 16 November 2021
7.2 Native title claim process
Persons claiming to hold native title may lodge an application for determination of native title with the Federal Court. The application is then referred to the NNTT to assess whether the claim meets the registration requirements in the NTA, and if so, the native title claim will be entered on the register of native title claims ( RNTC ) maintained by the NNTT.
Native title claimants have certain procedural rights, including the rights to negotiation and compensation, in relation to the grant of mining tenements if their native title claim is registered at the time the State issues a notice of the proposed grant of the mining tenement ( Section 29 Notice ), or if their claim becomes registered within four months after the Section 29 Notice.
Once a claim is registered, a claimant must prove its claim in the Federal Court in order to have native title determined and the claim entered on the National Native Title Register ( NNTR ).
7.3 Grant of tenements and compliance with the NTA
The grant of any mining tenement after 23 December 1996 must comply with the applicable NTA procedures in order to be valid. The exception to this is where native title has never existed over the land covered by the tenement, or has been extinguished prior to the grant of the tenement.
The absence of a claim does not necessarily indicate that there is no native title over an area, as native title claims could be made in the future.
Unless it is clear that native title does not exist (such as where the land the subject of a tenement application is freehold land), the usual practice of the State is to comply with the NTA when granting a tenement. This ensures the grant will be valid if a court subsequently determines that native title rights exist over the land subject to the tenement.
The procedural requirements in the NTA relating to the grant of a mining tenement (referred to as the “ Future Act ” procedures) include four alternatives:
-
(a) the right to negotiate, which is the primary Future Act procedure prescribed by the NTA;
-
(b) the expedited procedure, which may be used in relation to the grant of exploration and prospecting licences;
-
(c) an indigenous land use agreement; and
-
(d) the infrastructure process.
Future Act procedures are provided below.
7.4 Right to negotiate
The primary Future Act procedure prescribed by the NTA is the “right to negotiate”.
The right to negotiate involves a negotiation between the registered native title claimants, the tenement applicant and the State government, the aim of which is to agree the terms on which the tenement may be granted.
5457-01/2813420_8
Killi Resources Limited Page 11 16 November 2021
The applicant for the tenement is usually liable for any compensation that the parties agree to pay to the native title claimants. The parties may also agree on conditions that will apply to activities carried out on the tenement.
The initial negotiation period is six months from the date on which the State issues a Section 29 Notice.
If the parties cannot reach an agreement within the initial six month period, any party may refer the matter to arbitration before the NNTT, which then has six (6) months to determine whether the tenement can be granted and if so, on what conditions.
7.5 Expedited procedure
Where the grant of a tenement is unlikely to directly interfere with community or social activities or areas or sites of particular significance, or involve major disturbance to land or waters, the NTA permits the State to follow an expedited procedure for the grant of a tenement.
The State applies the expedited procedure to the grant of exploration and prospecting tenements.
Registered native title parties can lodge an objection to the use of the expedited procedure within the period of four months following the issue of the Section 29 Notice by the State ( Objection Period ).
If no objections are lodged or if the objections are withdrawn, the State may grant the tenement at the expiry of the Objection Period without undertaking a negotiation process.
If an objection is lodged, the NNTT must determine whether the grant of the tenement is an act attracting the Expedited Procedure. If the NNTT determines the expedited procedure does not apply, the parties must follow the right to negotiate procedure or enter into an indigenous land use agreement.
The DMIRS currently has a policy of requiring applicants for prospecting licences and exploration licences to sign and send a Regional Standard Heritage Agreement ( RSHA ) to the registered native title claimant, or prove they have an existing RHSA or Alternative Heritage Agreement in place.
The RSHA provides a framework for the conduct of Aboriginal heritage surveys over the land the subject of a tenement prior to the conducting of ground-disturbing work and conditions that apply to activities carried out within the tenement.
If the registered native title claimant does not execute the RSHA within the Objection Period (and no objections are otherwise lodged), the tenement may still be granted at the expiry of the Objection Period. If the tenement applicant refuses or fails to execute or send the RSHA to the registered native title holder, the DMIRS will process the application under the right to negotiate procedure.
7.6 Indigenous land use agreement
The right to negotiate and expedited procedures do not have to be followed if an indigenous land use agreement ( ILUA ) has been registered with the NNTT.
5457-01/2813420_8
Killi Resources Limited Page 12 16 November 2021
An ILUA is a voluntary contractual arrangement negotiated with all registered native title claimants for a relevant area. The State and the applicant for the tenement are usually the other parties to the ILUA.
An ILUA must set out the terms on which the relevant mining tenement may be granted. An ILUA will also specify conditions on which activities may be carried out within the tenement. The applicant for a tenement is usually liable for any compensation that the parties agree to pay to the registered native title claimants in return for the grant of the tenement being approved. These obligations pass to a transferee of the tenement.
Once an ILUA is agreed and registered, it binds the whole native title claimant group and all holders of native title in the area (including future claimants), even though they may not be parties to it.
7.7
Infrastructure process
The right to negotiate and expedited procedures also do not apply for grants of tenements for the sole purpose of the construction of an infrastructure facility.
In Western Australia, the DMIRS applies the infrastructure process to most miscellaneous licences and general purpose leases, depending on their purpose. For these types of tenements, an alternative consultation process applies, and in the absence of an agreement between the native title claimants and the applicant, the matter can be referred to an independent person for determination.
7.8 Renewals
Renewals of mining tenements made after 23 December 1996 must comply with the Future Act provisions in order to be valid under the NTA, except where:
-
(a) the area to which the mining tenement applies is not extended;
-
(b) the term of the renewed mining tenement is not longer than the term of the earlier mining tenement; and
-
(c) the rights to be created are not greater than the rights conferred by the earlier mining tenement.
7.9 Native title claims and determinations affecting the Tenements
The Searches indicate that the Tenements overlap the following native title determinations:
(a) Tjurabalan Native Title Determination
-
(i) Our searches indicate that E80/5100, E80/5101, E80/5102 and E80/5103 are within the external boundaries of the Tjurabalan Native Title Determination (WCD2001/001).
-
(ii) The Tjurabalan Native Title Determination was determined by the Federal Court on 20 August 2001.
-
(iii) We have not identified anything in our enquiries to indicate that the granted Tenements which are subject to the Tjurabalan Native Title Determination were not validly granted in accordance with the NTA.
5457-01/2813420_8
Killi Resources Limited Page 13 16 November 2021
-
(iv) The tenement holder is a party to the Native Title Heritage Protection and Mineral Exploration Agreement in relation to E80/5100, E80/5101, E80/5102 and E80/5103. A summary of the Native Title Heritage Protection and Mineral Exploration Agreement is set out in Schedule 4.
-
(b) Nyiyaparli Native Title Determination
-
(i) Our searches indicate that E46/1383 is within the external boundaries of the Nyiyaparli Native Title Determination (WC2013/003) (WAD196/2013).
-
(ii) The Nyiyaparli Native Title Determination was determined by the Federal Court on 26 September 2018.
-
(iii) In relation to the tenement applications which are subject to the Nyiyaparli Native Title Determination to be validly granted, the applicant will need to comply with the Future Act procedures of the NTA as described above.
8. ABORIGINAL CULTURAL HERITAGE
8.1 Background
We have not obtained information from the Commonwealth in connection with any places, areas and objects, which are registered or recognised in the National Heritage List, the Commonwealth Heritage List or other heritage lists or registers maintained by the Commonwealth.
The Company must ensure that it does not breach the Commonwealth and applicable State legislation relating to Aboriginal heritage as set out below. To ensure that it does not contravene such legislation, it would be prudent for the Company (and it would accord with industry practice and Aboriginal expectations) to conduct heritage surveys to determine if any Aboriginal sites or objects exist within the area of the Tenements. Any interference with these sites or objects must be in strict conformity with the provisions of the relevant legislation. It may also be necessary for the Company to enter into separate arrangements with the traditional owners of the sites.
8.2 Commonwealth legislation
The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Heritage Protection Act 1984 (Cth) ( Commonwealth Heritage Act ) is aimed at the preservation and protection of any Aboriginal areas and objects that may be located on the Tenements.
Under the Commonwealth Heritage Act, the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs may make interim or permanent declarations of preservation in relation to significant Aboriginal areas or objects, which have the potential to halt exploration activities. Compensation is payable by the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs to a person who is, or is likely to be, affected by a permanent declaration of preservation.
It is an offence to contravene a declaration made under the Commonwealth Heritage Act.
8.3 Western Australian legislation
Tenements located in Western Australia are granted subject to a condition requiring observance of the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 (WA) ( WA Heritage Act ).
5457-01/2813420_8
Killi Resources Limited Page 14 16 November 2021
The WA Heritage Act makes it an offence to alter or damage sacred ritual or ceremonial Aboriginal sites and areas of significance to Aboriginal persons (whether or not they are recorded on the register or otherwise known to the Register of Aboriginal Sites, DPLH or the Aboriginal Cultural Material Committee).
The Minister’s consent is required where any use of land is likely to result in the excavation, alteration or damage to an Aboriginal site or any objects on or under that site.
Aboriginal sites may be registered under the WA Heritage Act. However, there is no requirement for a site to be registered. The WA Heritage Act protects all registered and unregistered sites.
There is no obligation under the relevant legislation to register sites or objects and the exact location of Aboriginal sites within the area of a known site cannot be ascertained from these searches.
It is important to note that an Aboriginal site may:
-
(a) exist in any area of Western Australia;
-
(b) not have been recorded in the Register of Aboriginal Sites or elsewhere; and
-
(c) not have been identified in previous heritage surveys or reports on that area,
but remains fully protected under the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 (WA). Therefore, the absence of any reference to an Aboriginal site of interest from the Aboriginal Heritage Inquiry System is not conclusive.
8.4 Queensland Legislation
The Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003 (Qld) ( ACHA ) recognises, protects, and conserves Aboriginal cultural heritage. In part, it achieves this protection by providing that any person who undertakes an activity has a 'Duty of Care' to take all reasonable and practicable measures to ensure that the activity does not harm Aboriginal cultural heritage.
Under the ACHA, the 'Duty of Care' can be discharged in a number of ways, including:
-
(a) at a minimum, adhering to the Duty of Care Guidelines (which form part of the ACHA);
-
(b) entering into a voluntary cultural heritage management agreement with an 'Aboriginal Party' for the given area pursuant to section 23(3)(a)(iii) of the ACHA; or
-
(c) entering into a cultural heritage management plan under Part 7 of the ACHA.
Penalties apply for failing to comply with the 'Duty of Care' of up to $133,450 for an individual and $1,334,500 for a corporation.
8.5 Aboriginal Parties
Search results obtained from DATSIP indicate that the Aboriginal Parties for the Queensland Tenements are the Gudjala People (QUD80/2005), Bindal People #2 (QUD503/2016), Birriah People (QUD6244/1998), Bindal People (QUD6020/99), Jangga
5457-01/2813420_8
Killi Resources Limited Page 15 16 November 2021
People #2 (QUD387/2018), Wakka Wakka People #4 (QUD91/2012) and Bailai, Gurang, Gooreng Gooreng, Taribelang Bunda People (QUD6026/2001).
8.6 Recorded Aboriginal cultural heritage sites
DATSIP maintains a register of recorded Aboriginal cultural heritage sites.
Searches obtained on 9 November 2021 indicate that there are a number of Aboriginal cultural heritage sites recorded in the area of the Queensland Tenements (together the Cultural Heritage Sites ).
The Cultural Heritage Sites for the Queensland Tenements are as follows:
-
(a) EPM 26889 – Artefact Scatter (Site ID FK:B02, FK-0053-1, FK-0054-1, FK-0055-1, FK0056-1, FK-0057-1, FK-0058-1, FK-0059-1, FK-0060-1 and FK-0061-1);
-
(b) EPM 26890:
-
(i) Artefact Scatter (Site ID FK:A25, FK:A65, FK:C09, FK-0019-1, FK-0020-1, FK-0021-1; FK-0022-1; FK-0023-1; FK-0024-1; FK-0025-1; FK-0026-1; FK0027-1; FK-0028-1; FK-0029-1; FK-0030-1; FK-0031-1, FK-0034-1; FK-0035-1; FK-0047-1; FK-0048-1; FK-0049-1; FK-0050-1; FK-0051-1; FK-0052-1 and FK0069-1);
-
(ii) Scarred Tree (Site ID FK-0032-1); and
-
(iii) Quarry (Site ID FK-0033-1, FK-0040-1, FK-0041-1, FK-0042-1; FK-0043-1, FK0044-1; FK-0045-1 and FK-0046-1).
-
(c) EPM 26892:
-
(i) Rock Art (Site IDs FK-0036-1 and FK-0062-1);
-
(ii) Stone Arrangement (Site IDs FK-0037-1);
-
(iii) Artefact Scatter (Site IDs FK-0038-1 and FK-0039-1);
-
(iv) Object Collection (Site IDs FK-0039-2); and
-
(v) Scarred Tree (Site IDs 0063-1).
As at the date the searches were conducted, there are no Cultural Heritage Sites recorded on:
-
(a) EPM 26908, EPM 26909 and EPM 27828; or
-
(b) the WA Tenements.
8.7 Agreements
We have been provided with:
-
(a) a Cultural Heritage and Exploration Agreement that applies to EPM 26908; and
-
(b) an Aboriginal Heritage Protection and Mineral Exploration Agreement in relation to E80/5100, E80/5101, E80/5102 and E80/5103.

9. ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
9.1 Environmental issues — Federal (Matters of national environmental significance)
Commonwealth government approval under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cth) ( EPBC Act ) will be required where proposed activities constitute a 'controlled action'. This turns on whether or not the activities are likely to have a significant impact on matters of national environmental significance ( MNES ).
We have not been provided with any environmental reports, impact assessments, or ecology reports regarding the potential impact of activities under the Tenements on MNES. To our knowledge, there has been no assessment as to whether development within the area of the Tenements may trigger the need for EPBC Act approval.
9.2 Legislative regime – Queensland
Applications for all mining tenements in Queensland trigger environmental approval processes administered by the DES under the Environmental Protection Act 1994 (Qld) ( EP Act ).
Resource activities are classified as environmentally relevant activities ( ERA ) under the EP Act, for which an environmental authority ( EA ) must be obtained.
9.3 Environmental Approvals for the Queensland Tenements
The DES's public EA register indicates that:
-
(a) EPM 26889, EPM 26890 and EPM 26892 is covered by EA0001271;
-
(b) EPM 16197, EPM 17638, EPM 18492 and EPM 19733 are covered by EA0001282; and
-
(c) EPM 27828 is covered by EA0002745.
Each EA is subject to the standard conditions set out in the Code of Environmental Compliance for Exploration and Mineral Development Projects ( Code ). These conditions must be complied with in carrying out activities on the Queensland Tenements.
9.4
Compliance
Compliance issues relevant to the EAs may relate to:
-
(a) transitional environmental programs;
-
(b) environmental protection orders;
-
(c) environmental evaluations;
-
(d) environmental audits under sections 280 or 322 of the EP Act; or
-
(e) environmental investigations or reports.
5457-01/2813420_8
Killi Resources Limited Page 17 16 November 2021
We have not undertaken any investigations in respect of compliance with the EAs.
9.5 Registered suitable operator
A registered suitable operator is a person or corporation who has been registered by the DES as being suitable to carry out an ERA under the EP Act.
AAM Australia (reference number RSO001838) (the current holder of the Ravenswood North Tenements and Mt Rawdon Tenement) is registered as a suitable operator under the EP Act.
9.6 Financial assurance
The Code requires that surety for the cost of rehabilitation must be provided to the DES. The DES provides an online calculator which can be used to determine the required amount of surety based on the maximum area of disturbance operations.
The amount surety held can be reviewed by the DES at any time, including when the EA is amended.
The amount of surety provided by Company whether in relation to the Queensland Tenements or any other tenements is not publicly available. We have not undertaken any investigations in relation to the provision of financial assurance for the Queensland Tenements.
9.7 Environmentally Sensitive Areas
Searches indicated the presence of 'environmentally sensitive areas' ( ESAs ) within the Queensland Tenements, as follows:
-
(a) Tenements EPM 26889 and EPM 26909 have a “Category A” ESA within their boundary;
-
(b) Tenements EPM 26908 and EPM 27828 have a “Category B” ESA within their boundary; and
-
(c) Tenement EPM 27828 has a “Category C” ESA within its boundary.
The conditions of the EAs will dictate any restrictions on activities in these areas. For example, under condition 13 of the Code:
-
(a) activities must not be carried out in a Category A or B ESA;
-
(b) activities involving machinery must not be carried out within one kilometre of a Category A ESA or 500 metres of a Category B ESA; and
-
(c) prior to carrying out activities in a Category C ESA, the holder must consult with the Environmental Protection Agency.
Unless the EAs are amended, carrying out activities in contravention of the above limitations (and all other limitations set out in the Code) is an offence under the EP Act. A penalty of $600,525 applies under the EP Act for contravention of the conditions of an EA, increasing to $834,062.50 or 5 years imprisonment for a wilful contravention.
5457-01/2813420_8
Killi Resources Limited Page 18 16 November 2021
The Company has confirmed that, to the best of its knowledge, it is not aware of any proposed exploration activities that will be in contravention of the conditions of the EAs.
9.8 Land access
Under the Mineral and Energy Resources (Common Provisions) Act 2014 (Qld) ( MERCP Act ), in order to access private land to explore under a tenement, the holder is required to provide a notice of intention to enter the land ( Entry Notice ) and, depending on the level of impact of the exploration activity, enter into a conduct and compensation agreement ( CCA ) with each owner and occupier of the land.
The Land Access Code, made under the MERCP Act, also imposes certain mandatory conditions concerning the conduct of authorised activities under tenements on private land.
The requirement to enter into a CCA relates to any activities which are likely to have more than a minimal impact on the land or the owner or occupier's business operations. These are known as advanced activities. Most ground-disturbing works will fall into this category, including clearing access tracks or drill pads, drilling and geotechnical surveys.
If the activities will involve no or minimal impact to the land or the owner or occupier's business, the tenement holder is still required to provide an Entry Notice to the owner and occupier unless the owner and occupier have otherwise agreed to waive that requirement.
If a CCA cannot be reached with the owner and occupier, there is a statutory negotiation process set out in the Mineral Resources Act with ultimate recourse to the Land Court in the event that agreement cannot be reached.
The Company has confirmed they are not currently a party to a CCA and that it is not aware of any private land holdings which impact the Company’s current proposed programme.
9.9 Restricted Area
Restricted areas are areas of land that have varying conditions and restrictions placed over them ( Restricted Area ). The restrictions vary according to areas but relate primarily to the nature and type of mining or geothermal activity which may be undertaken in this area. The restriction itself may only apply to the exploration and mining activities of a particular mineral, or it can be a broad restriction from any activity. Some restricted areas are prescribed in the Mineral Resources Act while others have come about from the need to offer protection of the community (such as land restricted through urban encroachment legislation).
We have undertaken searches of the register of Restricted Areas, maintained by the QDR. In our searches, we have found that there are Restricted Areas covering the Queensland Tenements, which are set out in Schedule 2 of this Report.
The Company has confirmed that, to the best of its knowledge, these Restricted Areas will not prevent the Company from undertaking its proposed exploration activities on the Queensland Tenements.

10. WA TENEMENTS - ENCROACHMENTS AND OVERLAPS
10.1 Crown land
As set out in Schedule 1, land the subject of the WA Tenements overlaps Crown land as set out in the table below.
| Crown Land | Tenement | % overlap |
|---|---|---|
| Unallocated Crown Land | E80/5100 | 100% |
| E80/5101 | 100% | |
| E80/5102 | 100% | |
| E80/5103 | 100% |
The WA Mining Act:
-
(a) prohibits the carrying out of prospecting, exploration or mining activities on Crown land that is less than 30 metres below the lowest part of the natural surface of the land and:
-
(i) for the time being under crop (or within 100 metres of that crop);
-
(ii) used as or situated within 100 metres of a yard, stockyard, garden, cultivated field, orchard vineyard, plantation, airstrip or airfield;
-
(iii) situated within 100 metres of any land that is an actual occupation and on which a house or other substantial building is erected;
-
(iv) the site of or situated within 100 metres of any cemetery or burial ground; or
-
(v) if the Crown land is a pastoral lease, the site of or situated within 400 metres of any water works, race, dam, well or bore not being an excavation previously made and used for purposes by a person other than the pastoral lessee,
without the written consent of the occupier, unless the warden by order otherwise directs.
-
(b) imposes restrictions on a tenement holder passing over Crown land referred to in section 10.1(a), including:
-
(i) taking all necessary steps to notify the occupier of any intention to pass over the Crown land;
-
(ii) the sole purpose for passing over the Crown land must be to gain access to other land not covered by section 10.1(a) to carry out prospecting, exploration or mining activities;
-
(iii) taking all necessary steps to prevent fire, damage to trees, damage to property or damage to livestock by the presence of dogs, the discharge of firearms, the use of vehicles or otherwise; and
5457-01/2813420_8
Killi Resources Limited Page 20 16 November 2021
-
(iv) causing as little inconvenience as possible to the occupier by keeping the number of occasions of passing over the Crown land to a minimum and complying with any reasonable request by the occupier as to the manner of passage.
-
(c) requires a tenement holder to compensate the occupier of Crown land:
-
(i) by making good any damage to any improvements or livestock caused by passing over Crown land referred to in section 10.1(a) or otherwise compensate the occupier for any such damage not made good; and
-
(ii) in respect of land under cultivation, for any substantial loss of earnings suffered by the occupier caused by passing over Crown land referred to in section 10.1(a).
The warden may not give the order referred to in section 10.1(a) that dispenses with the occupier’s consent in respect of Crown land covered by section 10.1(a)(iii). In respect of other areas of Crown land covered by the prohibition in section 10.1(a), the warden may not make such an order unless he is satisfied that the land is genuinely required for mining purposes and that compensation in accordance with the WA Mining Act for all loss or damage suffered or likely to be suffered by the occupier has been agreed between the occupier and the tenement holder or assessed by the warden under the WA Mining Act.
Although the Company will be able to undertake its proposed activities on those parts of the WA Tenements not covered by the prohibitions and pass over those parts of the WA Tenements to which the restrictions do not apply immediately upon listing on ASX, the Company should consider entering into access and compensation agreements with the occupiers of the Crown land upon commencement of those activities in the event further activities are required on other areas of the WA Tenements which are subject to prohibitions or restrictions.
10.2 Pastoral Leases
As set out in Schedule 1, the following WA Tenements overlap with pastoral leases as follows:
| Pastoral Lease | Tenement | % overlap |
|---|---|---|
| Historical Pastoral Lease (C) 396 422 | E80/5101 | 9.14% |
| Pastoral Lease (C) N049553 | E46/1383 | 96.28% |
| Pastoral Lease (C) N049724 | E46/1383 | 3.72% |
The WA Mining Act:
-
(a) prohibits the carrying out of mining activities on or near certain improvements and other features (such as livestock and crops) on Crown land (which includes a pastoral lease) without the consent of the lessee;
-
(b) imposes certain restrictions on a mining tenement holder passing through Crown land, including requiring that all necessary steps are taken to notify the occupier of any intention to pass over the Crown land and that all necessary steps are taken to prevent damage to improvements and livestock; and
5457-01/2813420_8
Killi Resources Limited Page 21 16 November 2021
- (c) provides that the holder of a mining tenement must pay compensation to an occupier of Crown land (ie the pastoral lessee) in certain circumstances, in particular to make good any damage to improvements, and for any loss suffered by the occupier from that damage or for any substantial loss of earnings suffered by the occupier as a result of, or arising from, any exploration or mining activities, including the passing and re-passing over any land.
The Company has confirmed that, to the best of its knowledge, it is not aware of any improvements and other features on the land the subject of the pastoral leases which overlaps the WA Tenements which would require the Company to obtain the consent of the occupier or lease holder or prevent the Company from undertaking its proposed exploration activities on the WA Tenements.
Upon commencing mining operations on any of the WA Tenements, the Company should consider entering into a compensation and access agreement with the pastoral lease holders to ensure the requirements of the WA Mining Act are satisfied and to avoid any disputes arising. In the absence of agreement, the Warden’s Court determines compensation payable.
The DMIRS imposes standard conditions on mining tenements that overlay pastoral leases. It appears the WA Tenements incorporate the standard conditions.
10.3 Encroachments
Where an application is encroached upon by a live tenement, the application as granted will be for a tenement reduced by that amount of land which falls under the live tenement licence:
-
(a) E80/5102 encroaching on L80/51 by 0.07%;
-
(b) E46/1383 encroaching on pending tenement L46/128 by 0.05%; and
-
(c) 46/1383 is encroaching on M46/80 by 0.68%.
11. QUEENSLAND TENEMENTS - ENCROACHMENTS AND OVERLAPS
11.1 Regional Planning Interests
11.1.1 Areas of regional interest
Four areas of regional interest are established under the RPI Act:
-
(a) priority agriculture areas;
-
(b) priority living areas;
-
(c) strategic environmental areas; and
-
(d) strategic cropping areas.
Unless an exemption applies, persons who conduct 'resource activities' in any of these areas of regional interest are required to obtain a Regional Interests Development Approval ( RIDA ) prior to carrying out the activity.
To our knowledge, there has been no assessment as to whether development within the area of the Queensland Tenements may trigger the need for RIDA approval.
5457-01/2813420_8
Killi Resources Limited Page 22 16 November 2021
11.1.2 Exemption — short term activities
Section 23 of the RPI Act exempts a resource activity from a RIDA requirement where the activity finishes within 12 months of the start of activities under the tenement on that particular property.
Any proposed exploration activities that:
-
(a) are to be carried out on properties that have not previously been the subject of activities under the Queensland Tenements; and
-
(b) will be complete in less than 12 months,
are exempt from the requirement to obtain a RIDA.
11.1.3 Exemption — landowner agreement
Section 22 of the RPI Act exempts resource activities from a RIDA requirement where there is either:
-
(a) a statutory CCA (which has not been Court ordered); or
-
(b) a voluntary agreement,
in place with the landowner whose property underlies the regional interest; and
-
(c) the activities are not likely to have a significant impact on the strategic cropping area or priority agricultural area; and
-
(d) the activities do not impact land owned by a person other than the landowner, in that it does not impact:
-
(i) for land in a priority agricultural area — the suitability of the neighbouring land to be used for a priority agricultural land use; or
-
(ii) for land in a strategic cropping area — the soil, climate and landscape features of the neighbouring land that make it suitable for cropping.
11.1.4 RIDA application
If a relevant exemption does not apply, the holders of tenements will be required to apply for a RIDA prior to commencing activities in an area of regional interest. The RIDA application will be assessed to determine the extent of the expected impacts of the activities on the relevant area of regional interest.
For a RIDA application to be approved, the applicant must be able to demonstrate that the proposed activity will meet the required outcomes and address the prescribed solutions contained in the Regional Planning Interests Regulation 2014 (Qld) for the area of regional interest.
If the Company as holder of the Queensland Tenements (through AAM Australia) is unable to obtain a RIDA to authorise resource activities in the areas of regional interest that overlap the Queensland Tenements, the future production of resources from the Queensland Tenements will be compromised.
5457-01/2813420_8
Killi Resources Limited Page 23 16 November 2021
11.2 Overlapping tenements
The rights and interests of EPM holders may be affected by overlapping mineral, petroleum, exploration and production tenements.
We have reviewed Mines Mapping to determine whether the mapping records any tenements held or sought by other parties that overlap the Queensland Tenements.
Details of any overlapping permit for each Tenement is set out in column 8 of the table in Schedule 2. We have not been provided with any correspondence or agreements relevant to the overlap of any Tenements.
11.3 Defence Training Area
The Queensland Searches indicate that EPM 26892 overlaps with the Dotswood Defence Training Area.
On 4 September 2020, AAM Australia entered into a deed of access with the Commonwealth of Australia with respect to tenements EPM 26890 and EPM 26892.
The Company has confirmed that, to the best of its knowledge, this deed of access permits the Company to undertake its proposed exploration activities on the areas of the Queensland Tenements that overlap the Dotswood Training Area.
The material terms and conditions of this deed are summarised in Schedule 4.

(k) where Ministerial consent is required in relation to the transfer of any Tenement, we express no opinion as to whether such consent will be granted, or the consequences of consent being refused, although we are not aware of any matter which would cause consent to be refused;
-
(l) we have not conducted searches of the Environmental Management Register, the Contaminated Land Register of Queensland or the Database of Contaminated Sites maintained by the WA Department of the Environment and Conservation;
-
(m) Native Title may exist in the areas covered by the Tenements. Whilst we have conducted Searches to ascertain that Native Title claims and determinations, if any, have been lodged in the Federal Court in relation to the areas covered by the Tenements, we have not conducted any research on the likely existence or non-existence of Native Title rights and interests in respect of those areas. Further, the NTA contains no sunset provisions, and it is possible that Native Title claims could be made in the future; and
-
(n) Aboriginal heritage sites or objects (as defined in the ACHA, the WA Heritage Act or under the EPBC Act) may exist in the areas covered by the Tenements regardless of whether or not that site has been entered on the Queensland Heritage Register or is the subject of a declaration under the EPBC Act. We have not conducted any legal, historical, anthropological or ethnographic research regarding the existence or likely existence of any such Aboriginal heritage sites or objects within the area of the Tenements.

Table 3 – Tengraph Interests
| Land Type | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Unallocated Crown Land |
The following Tenements overlap with unallocated crown land: (a) E80/5100 – 18700.4771HA (100%) of this Tenement’s land area overlaps with the unallocated crown land; (b) E80/5101 – 34871.6909HA (100%) of this Tenement’s land area overlaps with the unallocated crown land; (c) E80/5102 – 52814.9413HA (100%) of this Tenement’s land area overlaps with the unallocated crown land; and (d) E80/5103 – 57068.2049HA (100%) of this Tenement’s land area overlaps with the unallocated crown land. |
| 2. | Ground Water Area | The Tenement overlaps a Ground Water Area managed by the Department of Water and Environment Regulation (DWER). Groundwater areas are proclaimed under the Rights in Water and Irrigation Act, 1914. Groundwater is a reserve of water beneath the earth's surface in pores and crevices of rocks and soil. Recharge of groundwater aquifers is slow and can take many years. Groundwater often supports wetland and stream ecosystems. The Rights in Water and Irrigation Act 1914 (WA) prohibits the abstraction of groundwater (water that occupies the pores and crevices of rock or soil) from a proclaimed groundwater area unless a current licence to construct/alter a well and a licence to take groundwater has been issued by the DWER. Water licence allocations are aimed at ensuring equitable use of the state’s water resources between licence holders and protecting the long-term security of the resources. |

| Land Type | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| The DWER has released guidelines to set out its regulatory requirements for mining projects. The approval requirements for a particular project will vary depending on the local water regime, the scale and the details of the proposed mining operation. Ground Water Area – GWA 10, Canning-Kimberley was identified on the following tenements: (a) E80/5100 – 18700.4771HA (100%) of this Tenement’s land area overlaps with the Ground Water Area; (b) E80/5101 – 34871.6909HA (100%) of this Tenement’s land area overlaps with the Ground Water Area; (c) E80/5102 – 52814.9413HA (100%) of this Tenement’s land area overlaps with the Ground Water Area; and (d) E80/5103 – 57068.2049HA (100%) of this Tenement’s land area overlaps with the Ground Water Area.

| 3. | Pastoral Lease | A lease of Crown land has been granted under section 114 of the Land Act 1933 (WA), which provides that any Crown land within the State which is not withdrawn from the selection for pastoral purposes, and which is not required to be reserved, may be leased for pastoral purposes. Refer to section 10.2 of this Report for information and details of tenements which overlap pastoral leases. Tenement E80/5101 overlaps with the Historical Pastoral Lease (C) – 396 422 (3187.2603HA) (9.14%).

| 4. | DAA Heritage Survey Areas |
Aboriginal Heritage Survey Areas are areas in which an Aboriginal Heritage Survey has been undertaken and results are described in a Heritage Survey Report. The Department of Indigenous Affairs holds copies of these reports. A heritage survey conducted in a particular area does not necessarily mean that another heritage survey does not need to be undertaken. This will depend on the type of survey undertaken and also when the original survey was undertaken. Not all Aboriginal sites within a survey area are necessarily recorded in the survey. The type of survey undertaken, such as site identification or Site Avoidance, is decided by the professional heritage consultant engaged by the proponent and depends upon the scope and nature of the project. What is appropriate for one project may not be for a different project. Tenement E46/1383 overlaps with the following DAA Heritage Survey Areas: (a) HSA 200230 2 – 52.819HA (0.15%); (b) HSA 200265 1 – 5.0154HA (0.01%); (c) HSA 200278 1 – 16.2697HA (0.05%); |

Independent Limited Assurance Report
1. Scope of Report
You have requested HLB to perform a limited assurance engagement and to report on the following Financial Information as set out in Section 6 of the Prospectus:
Historical Financial Information
The Historical Financial Information, as set out in Section 6 of the Prospectus, comprises:
- summary audited historical Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2021 and audited historical Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and audited historical Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows of the Company for the period then ended.
Pro Forma Financial Information
The Pro Forma Financial Information, as set out in Section 6 of the Prospectus, comprises:
- the pro forma Consolidated Statement of Financial Position of the Group as at 30 June 2021 and supporting notes which include the pro forma adjustments.
The stated basis of preparation is the recognition and measurement principles contained in Australian Accounting Standards applied to the Financial Information and the events or transactions to which the pro forma adjustments relate, as if those transactions or events had occurred as at 30 June 2021. Due to its nature, the Pro Forma Financial Information does not represent the Company’s actual or prospective financial position, financial performance or cash flows.
The Historical Financial Information and the Pro Forma Financial Information are presented in an abbreviated form insofar as they do not include all the presentation and disclosures required by Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements applicable to general purpose financial reports prepared in Australia in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 .
This Report has been prepared for inclusion in the Prospectus. HLB disclaims any assumption of responsibility for any reliance on this Report or on the Financial Information to which this Report relates for any purpose other than the purposes for which it was prepared. This Report should be read in conjunction with the Prospectus.
2. Directors’ Responsibility
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Financial Information. The Directors are also responsible for the determination of the pro forma adjustments set out in Section 6.9 of the Prospectus and the basis of preparation of the Financial Information.
This responsibility also includes compliance with applicable laws and regulations and for such internal controls as the Directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of the Financial Information that is free from material misstatement.
3. Our Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a limited assurance conclusion on the Financial Information based on the procedures performed and evidence we have obtained. Our engagement was conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards applicable to assurance engagements. Specifically, our review was carried out in accordance with Standards on Assurance Engagements ASAE 3450 Assurance Engagements involving Corporate Fundraisings and/or Prospective Financial Information and ASAE 3420 Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of Pro Forma Historical Financial Information and included such enquiries and procedures which we considered necessary for the purposes of this Report. Our procedures consisted of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and review procedures applied to the accounting records in support of the Financial Information.
Independent Limited Assurance Report
The procedures undertaken by HLB in our role as Investigating Accountant were substantially less in scope than that of an audit examination conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. A review of this nature provides less assurance than an audit and, accordingly, this Report does not express an audit opinion on the Financial Information.
In relation to the information presented in this Report:
-
a) support by another person, corporation or an unrelated entity has not been assumed; and
-
b) the amounts shown in respect of assets do not purport to be the amounts that would have been realised if the assets were sold at the date of this Report.
4. Conclusions
Historical Financial Information
Based on our review, which was not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Historical Financial Information of the Group as set out in Section 6 of the Prospectus does not present fairly:
-
a) the historical Consolidated Statement of Financial Position of Killi Resources Limited as at 30 June 2021;
-
b) the historical Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Statement of Cash Flows of the Killi Resources Limited for the period from incorporation to 30 June 2021;
in accordance with the measurement and recognition requirements (but not all of the presentation and disclosure requirements) of applicable Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements.
Pro Forma Financial Information
Based on our review, which was not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Pro Forma Financial Information of the Group as set out in Section 6 of the Prospectus does not present fairly the Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Financial Position of the Group as at 30 June 2021, which incorporates the pro forma adjustments, as set out in Section 6.9 of the Prospectus.
5. Restriction on Use
Without modifying our conclusion, we draw attention to Section 6 of the Prospectus, which describes the purpose of the Financial Information, being for inclusion in the Prospectus. As a result, the Financial Information may not be suitable for use for another purpose.
6. Liability
The liability of HLB is limited to the inclusion of this Report in the Prospectus. HLB makes no representation regarding, and has no liability for, any other statements or other material in, or omissions from, the Prospectus.
7. Declarations
-
a) HLB will be paid its usual professional fees based on time involvement, for the preparation of this Report and review of the Financial Information, which is estimated to be $10,500 plus GST;
-
b) Apart from the aforementioned fee, neither HLB, nor any of its associates will receive any other benefits, either directly or indirectly, for or in connection with the preparation of this Report;
-
c) Neither HLB, nor any of its employees or associated persons has any interest in Killi Resources or the promotion of the Company or any of its subsidiaries;
Independent Limited Assurance Report
-
d) HLB Mann Judd has been appointed as the Company’s auditors;
-
e) Unless specifically referred to in this Report, or elsewhere in the Prospectus, HLB was not involved in the preparation of any other part of the Prospectus and did not cause the issue of any other part of the Prospectus. Accordingly, HLB makes no representations or warranties as to the completeness or accuracy of the information contained in any other part of the Prospectus; and
-
f) HLB has consented to the inclusion of this Report in the Prospectus in the form and context in which it appears.
Yours faithfully

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Sampling techniques |
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g., cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (e.g., ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (e.g., submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. |

Barrick 2001-2003 (RAB) RAB and AC Drilling was completed by Bostech Drilling, with holes either vertical or angled -60° towards 180/360° magnetic. Samples were collected off the rig via a cyclone system at 1m intervals. Tanami Gold 2004-2011 (RAB AC RC) |
||
| Sampling was undertaken using industry best practices. RC samples were collected via rig-mounted static cone splitter, splitting sample in an 88%/12% ratio. 12% split retained for 1m composites and 88% split retained as a bulk reject. All 1m samples were sent for analysis. 1m samples are collected through zones of mineralisation, at the discretion of the supervising geologist. 4m composite samples are collected in all other zones using the spear method. Spear sample collection is undertaken by using a 30cm length of 50mm PVC pipe, spearing the pipe through the |
||
| bulk reject sample to acquire a cross-section of the entire bag contents. Where 4m composite samples return a grade greater than 0.5g/t Au the rig split 1m samples are dispatched for analysis. RC metre intervals were captured on hard copy paperwork and cross- checked by the supervising geologist to ensure accuracy. Sample rejects are left on the sample pad to indicate metres drilled for the hole. |

Barrick 2001-2003 (RAB) Samples were sent to Ultra Trace in Perth for analysis. Samples were analysed by Aqua Regia (AR002 & AR102) technique) for Au (a 0.1ppb Au detection limit), Bi, Pb, Sb, W, Cu, and Zn. BLEG analysis was also completed on the majority of RAB and AC holes. Sampling targeted the pisolitic or lag rich horizon that was located below the aeolian sand. The |
||||
| pisolitic rich intervals were sieved (-6mm+2mm) to remove aeolian sand and organic contamination. A nominal weight of 500g of lag was collected and stored in snap-lock plastic bags within numbered calico bags. The samples were initially dispatched to Genalysis Laboratory Services (Perth) for analysis, then later to Ultra Trace (Perth). The sample were subjected to bulk cyanide leach with ICP-Ms finish to a detection limit of 0.01ppb Au at Genalysis and 0.05ppb Au at Ultra Trace. Tanami Gold 2004-2011 (RAB AC RC) No diamond core is reported |
||||
| . RC drilling used a cyclone mounted inverted cone splitter. RC samples were dried at 100C to a constant mass, all samples below approximately 3kg are totally pulverised in a LM5 to nominally 85% passing a 75um scree. Samples generated above 4kg are crushed to <6mm and cone split to nominal mass prior to pulverization. For RC samples, no formal heterogeneity study has been carried out or monographed. An informal analysis suggests that the sampling protocol currently in use are appropriate to the mineralisation encountered and |
||||
should provide representative results. Repeat analysis of pulp samples (all sample types) occurs at an incidence of 1 in 20 samples. Field duplicates were routinely assayed. Sample sizes ae considered appropriate for the type if mineralisation intercepted. No formal monograph study has been conducted on the RC primary sub sample split. Ravenswood – |

| Drill hole Information |
A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: easting and northing of the drill hole collar elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar dip and azimuth of the hole down hole length and interception depth hole length. If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case. |
All significant intersections and drillhole information is tabulated | |
and recorded in the Independent Geological Report (IGR). |
|||
| Data aggregation methods |
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high- grade results and longer lengths of low-grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |
Exploration results are provided using a weighting average technique. The majority of drillhole intercepts quoted were in equal metres and did not require weighting. Grades were generally recorded that were greater than 0.1g/t Au, with no |
|
| more than 2m internal dilution permitted. | |||
| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths |
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (eg ‘down hole length, true width not known’). |
Downhole lengths reported in all items, not true widths. | |
| Diagrams | Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being |
Appropriate plans and cross-sections have been provided in the Independent Geological Report (IGR), for any significant intercepts at specific prospects. |

||||
| Balanced reporting |
Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results. |
Reporting of exploration results is comprehensive and includes not just high-grade results but a range of anomalous results over a variety of drilling methods. |
||
| Other substantive exploration data |
Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances. |
