Background
On 12 September 2025, the Company announced that it had received firm commitments to raise approximately $3.1 million (before costs) via a two-tranche placement of 295,238,095 new fully paid ordinary shares ( New Shares ) at an issue price of $0.0105 per New Share ( Placement ). Subject to Shareholder approval, Placement Participants (defined below) will also receive one free-attaching quoted option for every two New Shares subscribed for, exercisable at $0.02 and expiring on 29 September 2028 ( New Options ).
The New Shares will be listed on ASX and rank equally with existing fully paid ordinary shares. Shares issued upon exercise of New Options will also rank equally with existing fully paid ordinary shares.
The Company announced that the Placement will be a two-tranche placement as follows:
- (a) Tranche 1 : 112,186,598 New Shares pursuant to the Company's placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and 77,813,402 New Shares pursuant to the Company's placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, which were issued on 18 September 2025 to raise a total of approximately $1.995 million ( Tranche 1 Placement Shares ); and
page 6
- (b) Tranche 2 : 105,238,095 New Shares subject to Shareholder approval, to raise a total of approximately $1.105 million ( Tranche 2 Placement Shares ).
The proceeds received from the Placement will be used for the current 7,000-10,000m maiden drilling programme at the Zopkhito Antimony-Gold Project in Georgia ( Project ).
Ignite Equity Pty Ltd and GBA Capital Pty Ltd acted as joint lead managers ( Lead Managers ) for the Placement. Subject to Shareholder approval, as part consideration for acting as lead managers the Lead Managers (or their nominees) will receive an aggregate 6% fee on funds raised under the Placement, in addition to 90,000,000 quoted options ( Lead Manager Options ). The Lead Manager Options will be on the same terms as the New Options.
The Company will seek quotation of the New Options and Lead Manager Options, subject to satisfaction of the minimum quotation requirements set out in Chapter 2 of the ASX Listing Rules.
The Company's existing Directors (together, the Related Party Participants ) will, subject to Shareholder approval, participate in the Placement for a total of 5,000,000 New Shares and 2,500,000 New Options as follows ( Director Participation ):
-
(a) 2,000,000 Tranche 2 Placement Shares ($21,000) and 1,000,000 New Options to Mr Colin Locke;
-
(b) 2,000,000 Tranche 2 Placement Shares ($21,000) and 1,000,000 New Options to Mr David Palumbo; and
-
(c) 1,000,000 Tranche 2 Placement Shares ($10,500) and 500,000 New Options to Mr Timothy Hogan.
Other than the Related Party Participants, the remaining participants in the Placement are clients of the Lead Managers, being sophisticated and professional investors to whom a disclosure document does not need to be provided under the Corporations Act, none of whom is a Material Investor of the Company ( Placement Participants ).
Following completion of the Placement, and assuming Shareholder approval is obtained for all Resolutions in this Notice, the Company's issued capital is expected to be as follows:
| Security class | Number |
|---|---|
| Shares on issue pre-Placement | 778,134,025 |
| Placement | 295,238,095 |
| Total Shares | 1,073,372,120 |
| Existing Options | 99,000,000 |
| New Options | 147,619,048 |
| Lead Manager Options | 90,000,000 |
| Total Options | 336,619,048 |
| Existing performance rights | 80,000,000 |
| Total Performance Rights | 80,000,000 |
4 Resolution 1 – Ratification of issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares
4.1 General
Details of the Placement are outlined in Section 3.
page 7
Resolution 1(a) and Resolution 1(b) seek the approval of Shareholders to ratify the issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
4.2 Listing Rules 7.1, 7.1A and 7.4
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.
The issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders. This effectively utilises part of the 15% and 10% limits under each of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A respectively, reducing the Company's capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under those Listing Rules for the 12-month period following the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of Equity Securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company's capacity to issue further Equity Securities without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.1A.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.
To this end, the resolutions which form part of Resolution 1 seek Shareholder approval for the ratification of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
If the resolutions which form part of Resolution 1 are passed, the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% and 10% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.
In the event that Resolution 1(a) is not passed, 112,186,598 Shares will be included in the Company's 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue of those Tranche 1 Placement Shares.
In the event that Resolution 1(b) is not passed, 77,813,402 Shares will continue to be included in the Company's 10% limit under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, until the earlier of:
-
(a) 29 November 2025;
-
(b) the Company's next annual general meeting; or
-
(c) the date Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 or 11.2.
page 8
4.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5
Under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the ratification of the issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares:
-
(a) the Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued to the Placement Participants;
-
(b) a total of 190,000,000 Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued on 18 September 2025 as follows:
-
(i) 112,186,598 Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued within the 15% annual limit permitted under Listing Rule 7.1, without the need for Shareholder approval; and
-
(ii) 77,813,402 Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued within the 10% limit permitted under Listing Rule 7.1A, without the need for Shareholder approval;
-
(c) the Tranche 1 Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue;
-
(d) the Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued at $0.0105 per New Share;
-
(e) the proceeds from the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares are intended to be used towards exploration activities at the Project, as well as for costs of the Placement and general working capital;
-
(f) there are no additional material terms with respect to the agreements for the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares; and

page 9
If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares and may need to raise additional funds sufficient to finance the Company's activities and projects. Failure to do so could result in the Company being required to seek alternative sources of finance to fund the Project, including debt or strategic partnerships. There can be no assurance that additional finance will be available when needed or, if available, that the terms of the financing will be favourable to the Company.
5.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3

General

6.2

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
page 10
The proposed issue of New Options does not fall within any of these exceptions and, therefore requires Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
To this end, Resolution 3 seeks the required Shareholder approval to the issue of under and for New Shares the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the New Options to the Placement Participants.

(j) there are no additional material terms with respect to the agreements for the proposed issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares; and
-
(k) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
7.4 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
In accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, in order to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must:
-
(a) obtain Shareholder approval in the manner set out in section 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The Participation will result in the issue of Shares which constitutes giving a financial benefit and the Related Party Participants are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.
The Directors, other than:
-
(a) Mr Colin Locke, in respect of Resolution 4(a);
-
(b) Mr David Palumbo, in respect of Resolution 4(b); and
-
(c) Mr Timothy Hogan, in respect of Resolution 4(c),
(who have a material personal interest) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the Director Participation because the Tranche 2 Placement Shares and New Options will be issued to Related Party Participants on the same terms as Tranche 2 Placement Shares and New Options issued to non-related Placement Participants and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm's length terms.
7.5 Board recommendation
Each of the Resolutions which forms part of Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution.
The Directors decline to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 4(a), (b) and (c) due to their material personal interests in the outcome of the Resolutions.

8 Resolution 5 – Approval to issue Lead Manager Options
8.1 General
Details of the Placement and Lead Manager Options are outlined in Section 3.
Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Lead Manager Options to the Lead Managers (or their nominees) under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.
8.2 Listing Rule 7.1
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is contained in Section 4.1 above.
The proposed issue of Lead Manager Options does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
To this end, Resolution 5 seeks the required Shareholder approval to the issue of Lead Manager Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 5 is passed, the issue of Lead Manager Options can proceed without using up any of the Company's 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Lead Manager Options and will need to renegotiate payment terms with the Lead Managers, which will likely include the Company paying cash and therefore using its cash reserves.
8.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3
Under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Lead Manager Options:
-
(a) a maximum of 90,000,000 Lead Manager Options will be issued to the Lead Managers (or their nominees), none of whom is a related party of the Company;
-
(b) the Lead Manager Options will be exercisable at $0.02 each and expire on 29 September 2028 and will otherwise be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 2;
-
(c) the Lead Manager Options are intended to be issued on the same date, no later than three months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules);
-
(d) the Lead Manager Options will be issued for nil cash consideration, as part consideration for broking services provided in connection with the Placement. Accordingly, no funds will be raised from the issue;
-
(e) a summary of the arrangements with the Lead Managers is set out in Section 3; and
-
(f) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
8.4 Board recommendation
Resolution 5 is an ordinary resolution.
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.
