(ii) 4,761,905 Initial Placement shares issued on 30 June 2025; and

-
(b) 62,013,402 Initial Placement Shares issued to Initial Placement Participants on 26 June 2025 pursuant to the Company's available placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A (being the Shares for which ratification is sought pursuant to Resolution 1(b)); and

Funds raised from the Placement will be used towards exploration activities at the Zopkhito Project, as well as for costs of the Placement and general working capital.
4 Resolution 1(a) and Resolution 1(b) – Ratification of prior issue of Initial Placement Shares
4.1 General
A summary of the Initial Placement is set out in Section 3.1.
The resolutions comprising Resolution 1 seek the approval of Shareholders to ratify the issue of Initial Placement Shares to the Initial Placement Participants 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 Company obtained this approval at its annual general meeting held on 29 November 2024.
The issue of Initial Placement Shares to the Initial Placement Participants does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, uses up a significant proportion of the 15% and 10% limits under each of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, 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 Initial Placement Shares.
page 6
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 to ratify the issue of 121,000,000 Initial 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 Initial 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 Initial Placement Shares.
In the event that Resolution 1(a) is not passed, 58,986,598 Initial Placement 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 Initial Placement Shares.
In the event that Resolution 1(b) is not passed, 62,013,402 Initial Placement 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.
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 Initial Placement Shares:
-
(a) 121,000,000 Initial Placement Shares were issued to the Initial Placement Participants, being unrelated sophisticated and professional investors to whom a disclosure document does not need to be provided under the Corporations Act, and none of whom is a Material Investor of the Company. The Initial Placement Participants were existing contacts of the Company;
-
(b) a total of 121,000,000 Initial Placement Shares were issued as follows:

-
(A) 35,177,074 Initial Placement shares issued on 26 June 2025;

-
(ii) 62,013,402 Initial Placement Shares were issued within the 10% limit permitted under Listing Rule 7.1A, without the need for Shareholder approval, on 26 June 2025;

-
(d) the Initial Placement Shares were issued at $0.0105 per Share;
-

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of each of the resolutions which form a part of Resolution 1.
5 Resolution 2 – Ratification of prior issue of Top-Up Placement Shares
5.1 General
A summary of the Top-Up Placement is set out in Section 3.2.

5.2 Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4 is set out in Section 4.2 above.
The issue of Top-Up Placement Shares to the Top-Up Placement Participants does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rules 7.1 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, uses up a significant proportion of the 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, 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 Top-Up Placement Shares.
To ensure that the Company retains 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, Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the issue of 34,000,000 TopUp Placement Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
If Resolution 2 is passed, the issue of the Top-Up 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 Top-Up Placement Shares.
In the event that Resolution 2 is not passed, 34,000,000 Top-Up Placement 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 Top-Up Placement Shares.

6.2 Listing Rule 7.1

6.4 Board recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of each of the resolutions which form a part of Resolution 3.
7 Resolution 4 – Approval for David Palumbo to participate in the Placement
7.1 General
A summary of the Placement is set out in section 3.
Resolution 4 seeks the approval of Shareholders under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of up to 3,000,000 Director Placement Shares and up to 1,500,000 Director Placement Options, to Director David Palumbo (or his nominee(s)).
7.2 Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue Equity Securities to:
-
(a) a related party (Listing Rule 10.11.1);
-
(b) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (30%+) in the company (Listing Rule 10.11.2);
-
(c) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (10%+) in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so (Listing Rule 10.11.3);
page 10
-
(d) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3 (Listing Rule 10.11.4); or

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The proposed issue of Director Placement Securities to David Palumbo (or his nominee(s)), a Director, falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
Resolution 4 seeks the required Shareholder approval to the issue of Director Placement Securities under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11. If the Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the proposed issue and the Company will raise up to a total of $31,500 which will be used in the manner set out in Section 3.1.
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Director Placement Securities to David Palumbo, David Palumbo will not be able to participate in the Placement, and the Company will not receive any funds from David Palumbo's participation in the Placement.
As Shareholder approval is sought under Listing Rule 10.11, approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.1A is not required. Accordingly, the issue of Director Placement Securities to David Palumbo will not be included under the Company's 15% or additional 10% annual placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A.
7.3 Specific Information required by Listing Rule 10.13
Under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed Participation:
-
(a) the Director Placement Securities will be issued to David Palumbo (or his nominee(s));
-
(b) David Palumbo is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director and falls into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.1. In the event the Director Placement Securities are issued to a nominee of David Palumbo, that person will fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.4;
-
(c) the maximum number of Director Placement Securities to be issued is:
-
(i) 3,000,000 Director Placement Shares; and
-
(ii) 1,500,000 Director Placement Options;
-
(d) the Director Placement Securities issued will be in classes as follows:
-
(i) for the Director Placement Shares, fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company's existing Shares; and
-
(ii) for the Director Placement Options, Options on the same terms and conditions as the Placement Participants, as set out in Schedule 2;
-
(e) the Director Placement Securities will be issued to David Palumbo no later than one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules);
-
(f) the consideration payable for the Director Placement Securities is as follows:
page 11
-
(i) for the Director Placement Shares, $0.0105 per Share, being the same issue price as the Placement Shares; and
-
(ii) for the Director Placement Options, nil consideration, as they are being issued as free attaching Options to the Director Placement Shares;
-
(g) proceeds from the issue of the Director Placement Shares are intended to be used towards exploration activities at the Zopkhito Project, as well as for costs of the Placement and general working capital. No funds will be raised from the issue of the Director Placement Options;
-
(h) there are no additional material terms with respect to the agreement for the proposed issue of the Director Placement Securities; and
-
(i) 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 of David Palumbo in the Placement will result in the issue of Director Placement Securities, which constitutes giving a financial benefit, and David Palumbo is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
The Board considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of David Palumbo's participation in the Placement because the Director Placement Securities will be issued to David Palumbo on the same terms as the Placement Shares and Placement Options issued to the Placement Participants and, as such, the giving of the financial benefit is on arm's length terms.
7.5 Board recommendation
Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution.
The Board (other than David Palumbo, who has a material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.
