Letter from the Chairman
Dear Investor
On behalf of the board of Mt Monger Resources Limited ( Company ), I am pleased to present this Prospectus and to invite you to become a Shareholder in the Company.
The Company is a mineral exploration and development company focussed on gold and other precious metals discoveries in Western Australia. The purpose of the Offer is to issue 25,000,000 Shares at a price of $0.20 per Share to raise $5,000,000 (before costs). The Joint Lead Managers to the Offer are Lazarus and Baker Young (see Section 6.4 for further details of the Offer). It presents investors with the opportunity to become a part of a results-focused exploration company where the majority of funds raised are directed towards exploration activities.
The proceeds from the Offer will be utilised to enable the Company to systematically explore across its Projects, including the Mt Monger Gold Project and the East Laverton Gold and Rare Earths Project.
Mt Monger Gold Project
The Mt Monger Gold Project is centred approximately 50km east-northeast of Kambalda and 70km to the southeast of Kalgoorlie-Boulder, within the Goldfields Region of Western Australia. The project comprises six granted Exploration Licences, two pending Exploration Licenses and three granted Prospecting Licences, covering an area of approximately 100km[2.] . The Mt Monger region has proven potential for hosting gold, with gold mining commencing in the area during the late 1890s and continuing to the present day. Silver Lake Resources Ltd's (ASX: SLR) is currently operating the 1.2Mtpa Randalls gold processing facility which is located within one kilometre of the project tenure.
Early exploration within the project area focused on nickel sulphide mineralisation with the focus shifting to gold exploration during the 1980s. Exploration to date has outlined a number of advanced gold prospects; including the Duchess of York, Hickman’s Find and Kiaki Soaks prospects. Historical drilling at the Duchess of York Prospect has outlined significant mineralisation; including 20m @ 2.88g/t Au with the mineralisation extending to a vertical depth of at least 100m; 6m @ 3.9g/t Au from 118m including 1m @ 15g/t Au from 123m in YDC136. The recent “Burns” project discovery by Lefroy Resources (ASX:LEX) is located approximately 5km from Mt Monger’s tenements has put renewed exploration focus on the area.
East Laverton Gold and Rare Earths Project
The East Laverton Gold and Rare Earths Project is centred 70km south-east of the townsite of Laverton and is comprised of a single granted Exploration Licence and eleven pending Exploration Licences. The project licences cover an area of approximately 3,000km[2] .
Due to the area’s extensive sedimentary cover, there has been little geological work in the area either by exploration companies or government geological surveys, hampering the geological understanding of the area. Diamond exploration targeting kimberlite pipes at the Seahorse Prospect encountered gneissic rocks similar to those from the Tropicana Gold Mine (which is held by AngloGold Ashanti Ltd and Independence Group NL Joint Venture).
This Prospectus contains detailed information about the Offer and the current and proposed operations of the Company, as well as the risks pertaining to an investment in the Company. Potential investors in the Company should carefully consider those risks (detailed in Section 3).
I encourage you to read this Prospectus, request that you consider the risks of investment in Section 3, and invite you to become a Shareholder in the Company, which I believe has great potential to further develop its Mount Monger Gold Project and East Laverton Gold and Rare Earths Project. You should also note the Company’s current intention to undertake a loyalty Option offer to reward loyal shareholders via the issue of one option for every three shares held at a record date to be determined but expected within approximately six months after Admission. We look forward to welcoming you as a Shareholder should you decide to take up Shares pursuant to the Offer.

| Summary of key risks | ||
| Prospective investors should be aware that subscribing for Shares in the Company involves a number of risks. The risk factors set out in Section 3, and other general risks applicable to all investments in listed securities, may affect the value of the Shares in the future. Accordingly, an investment in the Company should be considered highly speculative. This Section summarises the key risks which apply to an investment in the Company and investors should refer to Section 3 for a more detailed summary of the risks. |
||
| Limited history | The Company was incorporated on 13 November 2020 and therefore has limited operational and financial history on which to evaluate its business and prospects. The prospects of the Company must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in the early stages of their development, particularly in the mineral exploration sector, which has a high level of inherent risk and uncertainty. No assurance can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the successful exploration on, or mining development of, the Projects. Until the Company is able to realise value from the Projects, it is likely to incur operational losses. |
Section 3.1(a) |
| Contractual Risk | The ability of the Company to achieve its stated objectives may be materially affected by the performance by the parties, of its obligations under certain agreements (details in Section 6). If any party defaults in the performance of its obligations, it may be necessary for the Company to commence legal proceedings to seek a remedy, which can be costly. As noted in Section 6.2, as at the date of this Prospectus, the Grant Condition and the Consent Condition have not been satisfied pursuant to the Tevel Agreement. Accordingly, there is a risk that the Tevel Conditions Precedent may not be satisfied until after Admission (or at all) and completion of the Tevel Agreement will not occur and the Company will not receive the right to earn an interest in the Tevel Tenements. However, the Company considers this completion risk to be low and also does not consider the Tevel Tenements to have a material impact on its planned exploration activities pursuant to this Prospectus. |
Section 3.1(d) |
| Future capital requirements |
The Company has no operating revenue and is unlikely to generate any operating revenue unless and until the Projects are successfully developed and production commences. The future capital requirements of the Company will depend on many factors including its business development activities. The Company believes its available cash and the net proceeds of the Offer should be adequate to fund its business development activities, exploration program and other Company objectives in the short term as stated in this Prospectus. |
Section 3.1(c) |
Mt Monger Resources Ltd – Published Prospectus May 2021

| Topic | Summary | More information |
|---|---|---|
| Title and Grant risk | The Company, through Mt Monger Minerals, Tigers Paw, Golden Wheelbarrow #1 and Golden Wheelbarrow #21is the registered applicant for tenement applications ELA25/603, ELA38/3506, ELA38/3507, ELA38/3509, ELA38/3519, ELA39/2218, ELA39/2219, ELA38/3510 and ELA38/3511. ELA25/597 has been applied for by Jindalee (of which the Company may acquire up to an 80% legal and beneficial interest in pursuant to the Jindalee Agreement) and ELA38/3462, ELA38/3466 and ELA3499 have been applied for by Tevel (of which the Company may acquire up to a 75% legal and beneficial interest in pursuant to the Tevel Agreement). These applications must be granted and, if applicable, subsequently transferred to the Company, before the Company may acquire a legal and beneficial interest in those Tenements. There is a risk that these applications may not be granted in their entirety or only granted on conditions unacceptable to the Company or that such grant will be delayed. Tenement applications ELA25/603, ELA38/3507, ELA38/3507, ELA38/3509, ELA39/2218 and ELA39/2219 are subject to Mining Act objections. Accordingly, there is a risk that, in the event the objections are not withdrawn, the grant of ELA25/603, ELA38/3507, ELA38/3509, ELA39/2218 and ELA39/2219 may be delayed or not granted. However, the Company is of the view that these 5 Tenements (if not granted) will not have a material impact on its planned exploration program. As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company has a beneficial interest in the granted Tenements, which will be transferred to the Company pursuant to the Option Agreements. |
Section 3.2(a) and Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 9.3 of the Solicitor's Report in Annexure B |
| Exploration and development risks |
Mineral exploration and development is a high-risk undertaking. There can be no assurance that exploration of the Projects or any other exploration properties that may be acquired in the future will result in the discovery of an economic resource. |
Section 3.2(b) |
| Resource estimation risk |
At present none of the Projects host a mineral resource or reserve estimate. Whilst the Company intends to undertake exploration activities with the aim of defining a resource, no assurances can be given that the exploration will result in the determination of a resource. Even if a resource is identified, no assurance can be provided that this can be economically extracted. |
Section 2.5 and 3.2(e). |
1 Noting that the Company has a 75% legal and beneficial interest in Golden Wheelbarrow #2 and, accordingly, the tenements in which it has an interest.

| Topic | Summary | More information |
|---|---|---|
| Native title risk | The Company is aware that there are four registered native title claims (in the names of Kakarra Part A, Tjalkadjara, Nyalpa Pirniku and Nangaanya-ku) and two registered native title determinations (in the names of Yilka and Yilka #2 and Sullivan Family and Ngadju) within the area covered by the Tenements. The Company is yet to fulfil the requirements of the Native Title Act with respect to the pending Tenements. Accordingly, there is a risk that, if negotiations with the relevant native title parties are not progressed in a timely manner, or are unsuccessful, the grant of the pending Tenements may be delayed or they may be refused. There remains a risk that in the future, native title and/or registered native title claims may affect the land the subject of the Tenements or in the vicinity of the Tenements. |
Section 3.2(k) and Section 7 of the Solicitor's Report in Annexure B |
| Aboriginal Heritage Risk |
The Company is aware that there are four Aboriginal sites, six applications for 'other heritage places' and three 'stored data places' which are either registered or have been lodged within Tenements ELA38/3511, ELA38/3462, ELA38/3466, E25/562, ELA38/3506, ELA38/3507, ELA38/3462 and ELA38/3466. Accordingly, there is a risk that the existence of such sites may preclude or limit mining activities in certain areas of the Tenements. However, the location of these sites do not interfere with the Company's proposed exploration activities. There remains a risk that additional Aboriginal sites may exist on the land the subject of the Tenements which may further preclude or limit mining activities in certain areas of the Tenements. |
Section 3.2(l) and Section 8 of the Solicitor's Report in Annexure B |
| Third party risks | Several of the Tenements overlap various pastoral leases and some of the Tenements overlap a petroleum exploration permit. ELA25/597 and ELA25/603 overlap mining tenure (including miscellaneous licences) held by third parties. Under Western Australian and Commonwealth legislation, the Company may be required to obtain the consent of and/or pay compensation to the holders of third-party interests, including pastoral leases, petroleum tenure and other mining tenure which overlay areas within the Tenements in respect of exploration or mining activities on the Tenements. Whilst the Company does not presently consider this to be a material risk to its planned exploration, there is a risk that any delays or costs in respect of conflicting third-party rights, obtaining necessary consents, or compensation obligations, may adversely impact the Company's ability to carry out exploration or mining activities within the affected areas. |

| Environmental risk | 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, particularly if advanced exploration or field development proceeds.

Forecasts
The Directors have considered the matters detailed 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 of 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.
The Directors consequently believe that, given these inherent uncertainties, it is not possible to include reliable forecasts in this Prospectus.
Refer to Sections 2.1, 2.4 and 2.5 for further information in respect to the Company's proposed activities.

1.10 CHESS and issuer sponsorship
The Company will apply to participate in CHESS. All trading on the ASX will be settled through CHESS. ASX Settlement, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the ASX, operates CHESS in accordance with the Listing Rules and the ASX Settlement Operating Rules. On behalf of the Company, the Share Registry will operate an electronic issuer sponsored sub-register and an electronic CHESS sub-register. The two sub-registers together make up the Company's principal register of securities.
Under CHESS, the Company will not issue certificates to Shareholders. Rather, holding statements (similar to bank statements) will be sent to Shareholders as soon as practicable after allotment. Holding statements will be sent either by CHESS (for Shareholders who elect to hold Shares on the CHESS sub-register) or by the Company's Share Registry (for Shareholders who elect to hold their Shares on the issuer sponsored sub-register). The statements will set out the number of existing Shares (where applicable) and the number of new Shares allotted under this Prospectus and provide details of a Shareholder's holder identification number (for Shareholders who elect to hold Shares on the CHESS sub-register) or Shareholder reference number (for Shareholders who elect to hold their Shares on the issuer sponsored sub-register). Updated holding statements will also be sent to each Shareholder at the end of each month in which there is a transaction on their holding, as required by the Listing Rules.
1.11
ASX Listing and Official Quotation
Within seven days after the date of this Prospectus, the Company will apply to ASX for admission to the Official List and for the Shares, including those offered by this Prospectus, to be granted Official Quotation (apart from any Shares that may be designated by ASX as restricted securities).
If ASX does not grant permission for Official Quotation within three months after the date of this Prospectus (or within such longer period as may be permitted by ASIC) none of the Shares offered by this Prospectus will be allotted and issued. If no allotment and issue is made, all Application Monies will be refunded to Applicants (without interest) as soon as practicable.
ASX takes no responsibility for the contents of this Prospectus. The fact that ASX may grant Official Quotation is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus.
1.12
Application Monies to be held in trust
Application Monies will be held in trust for Applicants until the allotment of the Shares. Any interest that accrues will be retained by the Company. No allotment of Shares under this Prospectus will occur unless:
-
(a) the Minimum Subscription is achieved (refer to Section 1.1(b)); and
-
(b) ASX grants conditional approval for the Company to be admitted to the Official List (refer to Section 1.11).
1.13
Allocation and issue of Shares
The Directors, in conjunction with the Joint Lead Managers, will allocate Shares between the Broker Firm and Institutional Offer, the Chairman's List Offer and the General Public Offer at
Mt Monger Resources Ltd – Published Prospectus May 2021
Page 22
==> picture [79 x 35] intentionally omitted <==
their sole discretion with a view to ensuring an appropriate and optimal Shareholder base for the Company going forward (subject to any regulatory requirements).
In making allocations, the Company and the Joint Lead Managers will take into consideration the interest from existing Shareholders, strategic mining industry investors and the introduction of new investors, together with the following additional factors:
-
(a) the number of Shares applied for;
-
(b) the overall level of demand for the Offer;
-
(c) the timeliness of the bid by particular Applicants;
-
(d) the desire for a spread of investors, including institutional investors;
-
(e) the likelihood that particular Applicants will be long-term Shareholders;
-
(f) the desire for an informed and active market for trading Shares following completion of the Offer;
-
(g) ensuring an appropriate Shareholder base for the Company going forward; and
-
(h) any other factors that the Company and the Joint Lead Managers consider appropriate.
Invitations to participate in the Chairman's List Offer will be made by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion for up to 5,000,000 Shares which will be allocated at the discretion of the Chairman and the Company.
There is no assurance that any Applicant will be allocated any Shares, or the number of Shares for which it has applied. The Company reserves the right to reject any Application or to issue a lesser number of Shares than those applied for. Where the number of Shares issued is less than the number applied for, surplus Application Monies will be refunded (without interest) as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date.
Subject to the matters in Section 1.11, Shares under the Offer are expected to be allotted on the Issue Date. It is the responsibility of Applicants to determine their allocation prior to trading in the Shares issued under the Offer. Applicants who sell Shares before they receive their holding statements do so at their own risk.
1.14
Risks
Prospective investors should be aware that an investment in the Company should be considered highly speculative and involves a number of risks inherent in the various business segments of the Company. Section 3 details the key risk factors which prospective investors should be aware of. It is recommended that prospective investors consider these risks carefully before deciding whether to invest in the Company.
This Prospectus should be read in its entirety as it provides information for prospective investors to decide whether to invest in the Company.

1.15 Escrow arrangements
ASX will classify certain existing Shares on issue in the Company (as opposed to those to be issued under this Prospectus) as being subject to the restricted securities provisions of the Listing Rules. Classified Shares would be required to be held in escrow for up to 24 months and would not be able to be sold, mortgaged, pledged, assigned or transferred for that period without the prior approval of ASX. During the period in which these Shares are prohibited from being transferred, trading in Shares may be less liquid which may impact on the ability of a Shareholder to dispose of their Shares in a timely manner.
None of the Shares issued pursuant to the Offer are expected to be restricted securities.
The Company anticipates that upon Admission approximately 15,200,000 Shares will be classified as restricted securities by ASX, which comprises approximately 35.39% of the issued share capital on an undiluted basis, and approximately 35.19%[3] on a fully diluted basis (assuming all Options are issued and exercised, that all Performance Securities are converted to Shares and that no other Shares are issued).
Prior to the Shares being admitted to quotation on the ASX, the Company will enter into escrow deeds with, or send restriction notices to, certain recipients of the restricted securities in accordance with Chapter 9 of the Listing Rules, and the Company will announce to ASX full details (quantity and duration) of the Shares required to be held in escrow.
As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company expects approximately 15,200,000 Shares to be subject to escrow, including 7,450,000 Shares restricted for a period of 24 months from quotation of the Shares on ASX, and 6,750,000 Shares restricted for 12 months from the date of issue of those Shares.
1.16 Underwriting
The Offer is not underwritten.
1.17 Joint Lead Managers
Each of Lazarus and Baker Young have been appointed as Joint Lead Managers to the Offer on the terms and conditions summarised in Section 6.4 of this Prospectus.
1.18 Brokerage, commission or stamp duty
No brokerage, commission or stamp duty is payable by Applicants on acquisitions of Securities under the Offer.
1.19 Withdrawal
The Directors may at any time decide to withdraw this Prospectus and the Offer in which case the Company will return all Application Monies (without interest) within 28 days of giving notice of their withdrawal.
3 Noting that this figure has been determined on the basis that the 9,500,000 Options on issue will be subject to escrow for a period of 24 months from the date of quotation and, accordingly, would not be freely tradeable upon exercise by the relevant holders.

The Mt Monger region has proven potential for hosting gold, with gold mining commencing in the area during the late 1890s and continuing to the present day. The Mt Monger Gold Project is within close proximity to Gold Fields Limited’s (JSE: GFI) St Ives gold camp which contains the Invincible Gold Mine located in Lake Lefroy and immediately south of Silver Lake Resources Ltd's (ASX: SLR) Daisy Milano gold operation and their Randalls gold processing facility which is currently processing 1.2Mtpa, is located within one kilometre of the project tenure. Lefroy Exploration Limited (ASX: LEX, Lefroy) has experienced recent success at their Burns Prospect, located to the south of the Mt Monger Gold Project. The Burns gold and copper prospect is situated on the eastern margin of a large interpreted felsic intrusion, recent drilling returned encouraging gold and copper results.
Early exploration within the project area focused on nickel sulphide mineralisation with the focus shifting to gold exploration during the 1980s. Exploration to date has outlined a number of advanced gold prospects; including the Duchess of York, Hickman’s Find and Kiaki Soaks prospects. Historical drilling at the Duchess of York prospect has outlined significant mineralisation; including 20m @ 2.88g/t Au with the mineralisation extending to a vertical depth of at least 100m; 6m @ 3.9g/t Au from 118m including 1m @ 15g/t Au from 123m in YDC136.
Drilling outside the more advanced prospect areas has been mainly limited to shallow rotary air blast ( RAB ) and aircore drilling (<60m depth) in the immediate vicinity of and along strike from known mineralised structures, with only intermittent relatively deep reverse circulation ( RC ) percussion drilling completed to assess the depth potential to the shallow supergene gold mineralisation. Recently in early 2021, Lefroy Resources Limited (ASX:LEX) announced drill results at its Burns prospect, immediately south west of the Company’s Mt Monger tenements.

Exploration within the Mt Monger Gold Project will be focused on targeting extensions to existing well-defined mineralised structures, and subsequently applying the understanding from known structures to regional targets. Drilling will be prioritised at the Duchess of York prospect to evaluate the economic potential of the prospect and to update the geological model.

- (c) East Laverton Gold and Rare Earths Project
The East Laverton Gold and Rare Earths Project is located 70km south-east of the townsite of Laverton and is comprised of a single granted Exploration Licence and eleven pending Exploration Licences. The project licences cover an area of approximately 3,000km[2] .
The East Laverton Gold and Rare Earths Project is located within the poorly understood Burtville Terrane on the eastern edge of the Eastern Goldfields Superterrane. The project area contains limited outcrop, with the bedrock geology predominantly concealed by transported cover. Due to the area’s extensive sedimentary cover, there has been little geological work in the area either by exploration companies or government geological surveys, hampering the geological understanding of the area.
Mt Monger Resources Ltd – Published Prospectus May 2021

Earliest exploration within the region focused on the presence of kimberlite and uranium mineralisation within paleochannels, with only a limited number of drillholes targeting the underlying greenstone terrain for gold mineralisation.
==> picture [383 x 209] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 6: East Laverton Gold and Rare Earths Project Tenure and Location (created between November 2020 and April 2021)
Exploration targeting kimberlite pipes at the Seahorse Prospect encountered gneissic rocks similar to those from the Tropicana Gold Mine (AngloGold Ashanti Ltd and Independence Group NL Joint Venture). The most popular model for Tropicana is that of reworked Archean gold, reported to be hosted by Archaean garnetiferous gneiss and quartzofeldpathic gneiss. The presence of the favourable gneissic rocks at the Seahorse Prospect was recognised at a later date and gold and pathfinder element analysis were completed, with encouraging gold and base metal results returned.
The eastern portion of the project is enhanced by a favourable structural setting, the presence of known anomalous soils and a proximity to known mineralisation. The Dexter Shear trends through the area; soil geochemistry will be evaluated, lines of aircore will be completed across anomalous zones, followed by RC drilling if encouragement is found to define gold mineralisation. Previous work has outlined the Sandshoes and Dexter West Prospects within this area which require further evaluation and exploration.
Recent discoveries by Gold Road Resources Ltd (ASX:GOR, Gold Road) in the Yamarna Belt located about 80km east of the project, where a similar sand covered setting exists, illustrates important concepts which will be emulated by the Company. At Yamarna coincident multi-element pathfinders and gold geochemistry are helping to defining intrusion-related gold resources associated with north-south trending fault zones clearly defined in detailed aeromagnetic data.

Limited previous exploration within the Point Kidman project area has identified light rare earths ( LREE ) mineralisation hosted by laterite clays and strongly weathered granites associated with Archaean granitoid terrane. Aircore drilling intersected anomalous LREE mineralisation (Ce, La, Nd, Pr and Sm) in reconnaissance aircore drill holes (see Section 5.3 of the IGR) over a wide area that remain to be followed up with additional exploration. Very widely spaced Geological Survey of Western Australia (GSWA) rock chip samples in the area have returned anomalous REEs and indicates the size of the anomalous REE fingerprint in the region is much larger than the area drilled to date.
(d) Tenements
A comprehensive summary of regional and local geology, historical mining and historical exploration pertaining to the Tenements is contained in the Independent Geologist's Report in Annexure C. A comprehensive summary of the status of the Tenements can be found in the Solicitor's Report in Annexure B.
The Tenements are located in Western Australia as shown in Figure 1 below.

2.5 Exploration History
The focus of previous exploration on the Mt Monger Project tenements has been predominantly for gold and, to a lesser extent nickel. Exploration to date on the tenements has outlined a number of advanced gold prospects; including the Duchess of York, Hickman’s Find and Kiaki Soaks prospects. Drilling at the Duchess of York prospect has outlined significant mineralisation at shallow depths that remains to be followed up. Drilling outside the more advanced prospect areas has been mainly limited to shallow Rotary Air Blast ( RAB ) and aircore drilling (less than 60m depth) in the immediate vicinity of and along strike from known mineralised structures, with only intermittent Reverse Circulation ( RC ) percussion drilling completed to assess the depth potential to the shallow supergene gold mineralisation.
The East Laverton Gold and Rare Earths Project tenements contain extensive sedimentary cover and there has been minimal exploration in the area either by exploration companies or government geological surveys. Earliest exploration within the region was for diamonds, nickel and uranium, with only a limited number of drill holes targeting gold mineralisation. Reconnaissance exploration activities including geophysical data interpretation and surface geochemical sampling, have identified a number of gold and rare earth element anomalies requiring further follow up work. A number of early stage exploration programs including shallow RAB and aircore drilling have been completed in the Pt Kidman, Seahorse and Dexter prospect areas.
The tenements have no reported mineral resources or ore reserves.
There has been no historical production on the tenements.
Refer to the Independent Geologist Report included in Annexure C for further details on the exploration history of the tenements.
2.6
Business strategy/objectives of the Company
The Company’s purpose is to increase Shareholder wealth through the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral resource projects throughout Western Australia.
Following Admission, the Company's primary focus will be advancing exploration at the Company’s Mt Monger Gold Project and the East Laverton Gold and Rare Earths Project with the objective of delineating economically significant mineralisation. The Company's program going forward will initially focus on geo-chemical programs including soil sampling and auger programs, air core, reverse circulation & diamond drilling, followed by verification and critical re-assessment of the geology and historic exploration data to generate detailed targets for subsequent follow-up assessment.
The Company has designed exploration programmes for each of its projects. An overview of the these programmes are shown below.
| Project | Exploration - Year 1 | Exploration - Year 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Mt Monger Gold Project | • Ground Gradient Array IP – Red Dale North • RC drilling – Duchess of York and Hickman’s Find |
• RC drilling – follow up on Duchess of York and Hickman’s Find prior year program and drill new target/s |
Mt Monger Resources Ltd – Published Prospectus May 2021

==> picture [79 x 34] intentionally omitted <==
| Exploration - Year 1 | Exploration - Year 2 |
|---|---|
| • Ground Gradient Array IP – Dexter • 2 x RC drilling – Seahorse North and South |
• RC drilling – Seahorse including new targets |
The Company proposes to actively pursue further acquisitions where possible which complement its existing exploration focus. If and when a viable investment opportunity is identified, the Board may elect to acquire or exploit such opportunity by way of application, acquisition, joint venture or earn-in arrangement which may involve the payment of consideration in cash, equity or a combination of both. The Board will assess the suitability of investment opportunities by utilising its experience in evaluating projects. There are uncertainties in the process of identifying and acquiring new and suitable projects. The Company confirms that it is not currently considering other acquisitions and that future acquisitions are likely to be in the mineral resource sector.
2.7
Proposed exploration budgets
The Company proposes to fund its intended activities as outlined in the tables below from the proceeds of the Offer. It should be noted that the budgets will be subject to modification on an ongoing basis depending on the results obtained from exploration undertaken. This will involve an ongoing assessment of the Projects and may lead to increased or decreased levels of expenditure on certain interests, reflecting a change in emphasis. Subject to the above, the following budget takes into account the proposed expenses over the next 2 years to complete initial exploration of the Tenements. As budgeted below, the Company's exploration expenditure will meet the expenditure requirements for each of the Tenements (see Annexure C for further details):
| Expenditure | Year 1 ($’000) |
Year 2 ($’000) |
Total ($’000) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mt Monger Gold Project East Laverton Gold and Rare Earths Project Seahorse Prospect Dexter & Dexter Nth Prospects Pt Kidman Prospect Sub-total for East Laverton Gold and Rare Earths Project Total Field Exploration Fixed H/Office Geology Expenses |

Please refer to Section 6 of the Independent Geologist's Report for further detail in respect of the Company's exploration budget.
2.8 Dividend policy
The Company does not expect to pay dividends in the near future as its focus will primarily be on growing the existing businesses.
Any future determination as to the payment of dividends by the Company will be at the discretion of the Directors and will depend upon matters such as the availability of distributable earnings, the operating results and financial condition of the Company, future capital requirements, general business and other factors considered relevant by the Directors. No assurances are given in relation to the payment of dividends, or that any dividends may attach franking credits.

3. Risk Factors
As with any share investment, there are risks involved. This Section identifies the major areas of risk associated with an investment in the Company, but should not be taken as an exhaustive list of the potential risk factors to which the Company and its Shareholders are exposed. Potential investors should read the entire Prospectus and consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares under the Offer.
Any investment in the Company under this Prospectus should be considered highly speculative.
3.1 Risks specific to the Company
(a) Limited history
The Company was incorporated on 13 November 2020 and therefore has limited operational and financial history on which to evaluate its business and prospects. The prospects of the Company must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in the early stages of their development, particularly in the mineral exploration sector, which has a high level of inherent risk and uncertainty. No assurance can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the successful exploration on, or mining development of, the Projects. Until the Company is able to realise value from the Projects, it is likely to incur operational losses.
(b) Conditionality of Offer
The obligation of the Company to issue the Shares under the Offer is conditional on ASX granting approval for Admission to the Official List. If this condition is not satisfied, the Company will not proceed with the Offer. Failure to complete the Offer may have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position.
(c)
Future capital requirements
The Company has no operating revenue and is unlikely to generate any operating revenue unless and until the Projects are successfully developed and production commences. The future capital requirements of the Company will depend on many factors including its business development activities. The Company believes its available cash and the net proceeds of the Offer should be adequate to fund its business development activities, exploration program and other Company objectives in the short term as stated in this Prospectus.
In order to successfully develop the Projects and for production to commence, the Company will require further financing in the future, in addition to amounts raised pursuant to the Offer. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to Shareholders, may be undertaken at lower prices than the then market price (or Offer Price) or may involve restrictive covenants which limit the Company's operations and business strategy. Debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities or the registering of security interests over the Company's assets.
Although the Directors believe that additional capital can be obtained, no assurances can be made that appropriate capital or funding, if and when needed, will be available on terms favourable to the Company or at all. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its activities
Mt Monger Resources Ltd – Published Prospectus May 2021
Page 40
==> picture [79 x 34] intentionally omitted <==
and this could have a material adverse effect on the Company's activities including resulting in the Tenements being subject to forfeiture, and could affect the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company may undertake additional offerings of Securities in the future and has indicated that it intends to undertake an issue of loyalty Options within the first 6 months following Admission (see Section 1.5). The increase in the number of Shares issued and outstanding and the possibility of sales of such Shares may have a depressive effect on the price of Shares. In addition, as a result of such additional Shares, the voting power of the Company's existing Shareholders will be diluted.
(d)
Contractual risk
The ability of the Company to achieve its stated objectives may be materially affected by the performance by the parties of its obligations under certain agreements (details in Section 6). If any party defaults in the performance of its obligations, it may be necessary for the Company to approach a court to seek a legal remedy, which can be costly. As noted in Section 6.2, as at the date of this Prospectus, the Grant Condition and the Consent Condition have not been satisfied pursuant to the Tevel Agreement. Accordingly, there is a risk that the Tevel Conditions Precedent may not be satisfied until after Admission (or at all) and completion of the Tevel Agreement will not occur and the Company will not receive the right to earn an interest in the Tevel Tenements. However, the Company considers this completion risk to be low and also does not consider the Tevel Tenements to have a material impact on its planned exploration activities pursuant to this Prospectus.
If the Company enters into agreements with third parties for the acquisition or divestment of equity interests in mineral exploration and mining projects there are no guarantees that any such contractual obligations will be satisfied in part or in full.
(e)
Potential for dilution
On completion of the Offer and the subsequent issue of Shares pursuant to the Offer, the number of Shares in the Company will increase from 15,700,000 to 42,950,000. This means the number of Shares on issue will increase by approximately 273.57% on completion of the Offer. On this basis, existing Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Offer (and even if they do), their holdings may be considerably diluted (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Prospectus).
(f)
New projects and acquisitions
The Company will actively pursue and assess other new business opportunities in the resources sector. These new business opportunities may take the form of direct project acquisitions, joint ventures, farm-ins, acquisition of tenements/permits, and/or direct equity participation.
Some but not all Projects are currently the subject of negotiation to acquire with third parties and there is no guarantee that the negotiations with the third parties will be successful nor that the Company will enter into and/or acquire interests in the Projects.
The acquisition of projects (whether completed or not) may require the payment of monies (as a deposit and/or exclusivity fee) after only limited due diligence or prior to
Mt Monger Resources Ltd – Published Prospectus May 2021
Page 41
==> picture [79 x 34] intentionally omitted <==
the completion of comprehensive due diligence. There can be no guarantee that any proposed acquisition will be completed or be successful. If the proposed acquisition is not completed, monies advanced may not be recoverable, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company.
If an acquisition is completed, the Directors will need to reassess at that time, the funding allocated to current Projects and new projects, which may result in the Company reallocating funds from the Projects and/or raising additional capital (if available). Furthermore, notwithstanding that an acquisition may proceed upon the completion of due diligence, the usual risks associated with the new project/business activities will remain.
(g) Liquidity risk
At Admission, the Company expects to have 42,950,000 Shares on issue. The Company expects approximately 8,450,000 Shares to be subject to 24 months escrow and 6,750,000 Shares subject to 12 months escrow in accordance with Chapter 9 of the Listing Rules, which would be equal to approximately 35.39% of the Company’s issued capital. This creates a liquidity risk as a large portion of issued capital may not be able to be freely tradable for a period of time. The ability of an investor in the Company to sell their Shares on the ASX will depend on the turnover or liquidity of the Shares at the time of sale. Therefore, investors may not be able to sell their Shares at the time, in the volumes or at the price they desire.
3.2 Mining Industry Risks
(a) Title and grant risk
The Company, through Mt Monger Minerals, Tigers Paw, Golden Wheelbarrow #1 and Golden Wheelbarrow #2[6] is the registered applicant for tenement applications ELA25/603, ELA38/3506, ELA38/3507, ELA38/3509, ELA38/3519, ELA39/2218, ELA39/2219, ELA38/3510 and ELA38/3511. ELA25/597 has been applied for by Jindalee (of which the Company may acquire up to an 80% legal and beneficial interest in pursuant to the Jindalee Agreement) and ELA38/3462, ELA38/3466 and ELA3499 have been applied for by Tevel (of which the Company may acquire up to a 75% legal and beneficial interest in pursuant to the Tevel Agreement). These applications must be granted and, if applicable, subsequently transferred to the Company, before the Company may acquire a legal and beneficial interest in those Tenements.
Tenement applications ELA25/603, ELA38/3507, ELA38/3509, ELA39/2218 and ELA39/2219 are subject to Mining Act objections. In the event the objections are not withdrawn, the grant of ELA25/603, ELA38/3507, ELA38/3509, ELA39/2218 and ELA39/2219 will be delayed or not granted. However, the Company is of the view that these 5 Tenements (if not granted) will not have a material impact on its planned exploration program.
There can be no guarantee that the tenement applications will be granted, or if they are granted, that they will be granted in their entirety. If the tenement applications are not granted, the Company will not acquire an interest in these tenements. The tenement applications therefore should not be considered as assets or projects of the
6 Noting that the Company has a 75% legal and beneficial interest in Golden Wheelbarrow #2 and, accordingly, the tenements in which it has an interest.
Mt Monger Resources Ltd – Published Prospectus May 2021
Page 42
==> picture [79 x 34] intentionally omitted <==
Company. Unless and until these tenements are granted and transferred to the Company, the Company has limited rights and can undertake only preliminary exploration work on those tenements.
As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company has a beneficial interest in the granted Tenements, which will be transferred to the Company pursuant to the Option Agreements.
Interests in all tenements in Western Australia are governed by state legislation and are evidenced by the granting of licenses or leases. Each license or lease is for a specific term and carries with it annual expenditure and reporting commitments, as well as other conditions requiring compliance. Consequently, the Company could be exposed to additional costs, have its ability to explore or mine the Tenements reduced or lose title to or its interest in the Tenements if license conditions are not met or if insufficient funds are available to meet expenditure commitments.
(b)
Exploration and development risks
Mineral exploration and development is a high-risk undertaking. There can be no assurance that exploration of the Projects or any other exploration properties that may be acquired in the future will result in the discovery of an economic resource.
Exploration in terrains with existing mineralisation endowments and known occurrences may slightly mitigate this risk. In respect of the Projects, the reliability of the data used to produce the Independent Geologist's Report in this regard is limited as it is historical in nature and could not be independently verified by the Independent Geologist.
Even if an apparently viable resource is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited due to various issues including lack of ongoing funding, adverse government policy, geological conditions, commodity prices or other technical difficulties.
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, unanticipated operational and technical difficulties, industrial and environmental accidents, native title process, changing government regulations and many other factors beyond the control of the Company.
The success of the Company will also depend upon the Company having access to sufficient development capital, being able to maintain title to its Projects and obtaining all required approvals for its activities. In the event that exploration programs are unsuccessful this could lead to a diminution in the value of its Projects, a reduction in the cash reserves of the Company and possible relinquishment of part or all of its Projects.
(c)
Operating risk
There are significant risks in developing a mine and there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to achieve economic production from any of the Tenements. In addition, the operations of the Company may be affected by various factors, including failure to locate or identify mineral deposits, failure to achieve predicted grades in exploration and mining, operational and technical difficulties encountered in mining, difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment, mechanical failure or
Mt Monger Resources Ltd – Published Prospectus May 2021
Page 43
==> picture [79 x 34] intentionally omitted <==
plant breakdown, unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect extraction costs, adverse weather conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes and unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment.
No assurances can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the successful exploration and/or mining of its Projects. Unless and until the Company is able to realise value from its Projects, it is likely to incur ongoing operating losses.
(d)
Metallurgy
Metal and/or mineral recoveries are dependent upon the metallurgical process that is required to liberate economic minerals and produce a saleable product and by nature contain elements of significant risk such as:
-
(i) identifying a metallurgical process through test work to produce a saleable metal and/or concentrate;
-
(ii) developing an economic process route to produce a metal and/or concentrate; and
-
(iii) changes in mineralogy in the ore deposit can result in inconsistent metal recovery, affecting the economic viability of the project.
(e)
Resource estimation risks
Whilst the Company intends to undertake exploration activities with the aim of defining a resource, no assurances can be given that the exploration will result in the determination of a resource. Even if a resource is identified, no assurance can be provided that this can be economically extracted.
(f)
Payment obligations
Pursuant to the licences comprising the Company's Projects, the Company will become subject to payment and other obligations. In particular, holders are required to expend the funds necessary to meet the minimum work commitments attaching to the Tenements. Failure to meet these work commitments may render the Tenements subject to forfeiture or result in the holders being liable for fees. Further, if any contractual obligations are not complied with when due, in addition to any other remedies that may be available to other parties, this could result in dilution or forfeiture of the Company's interest in the Projects. Further details of these conditions and obligations are set out in section 6 and Schedule 1 of the Solicitor's Report.
(g)
Metals and currency price volatility
The Company's ability to proceed with the development of its Projects and benefit from any future mining operations will depend on market factors, some of which may be beyond its control. It is anticipated that any revenues derived from mining will primarily be derived from the sale of gold and other metals. Consequently, any future earnings are likely to be closely related to the price of gold and other mined commodities and the terms of any off-take agreements that the Company enters into.
Mt Monger Resources Ltd – Published Prospectus May 2021
Page 44
==> picture [79 x 34] intentionally omitted <==
The world market for minerals is subject to many variables and may fluctuate markedly. These variables include world demand for metals that may be mined commercially in the future from the Company's project areas, technological advancements, forward selling activities and production cost levels in major mineralproducing regions. Mineral prices are also affected by macroeconomic factors such as general global economic conditions and expectations regarding inflation and interest rates. These factors may have an adverse effect on the Company's exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.
Furthermore, international prices of various commodities are denominated in United States dollars, whereas the income and expenditure of the Company are and will be taken into account in Australian currency. As a result, the Company is exposed to the fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and the Australian dollar as determined in international markets, which could have a material effect on the Company's operations, financial position (including revenue and profitability) and performance. The Company may undertake measures, where deemed necessary by the Board to mitigate such risks.
(h)
Competition risk
The industry in which the Company will be involved is subject to domestic and global competition, including major mineral exploration and production companies. 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.
Some of the Company's competitors have greater financial and other resources than the Company and, as a result, may be in a better position to compete for future business opportunities or technical staff. Many of the Company's competitors not only explore for and produce minerals, but also carry out refining operations and other products on a worldwide basis. There can be no assurance that the Company can compete effectively with these companies.
(i)
Tenure and land access risk
Land access is critical for exploration and/or exploitation to succeed. It requires both access to the mineral rights and access to the surface rights. Minerals rights may be negotiated and acquired. In all cases the acquisition of prospective exploration and mining licences is a competitive business, in which proprietary knowledge or information is critical and the ability to negotiate satisfactory commercial arrangements with other parties is often essential. The Company may not be successful in acquiring or obtaining the necessary licences to conduct exploration or evaluation activities outside of the mineral tenements.
As the Company's rights in the Tenements may be obtained by grant by regulatory authorities or be subject to contracts with third parties, any third party may terminate or rescind the relevant agreement whether lawfully or not and, accordingly, the Company may lose its rights to exclusive use of, and access to any, or all, of the Tenements. Third parties may also default on their obligations under the contracts which may lead to termination of the contracts. Additionally, the Company may not be able to access the Tenements due to natural disasters or adverse weather conditions, political unrest, hostilities or failure to obtain the relevant approvals and consents.
Mt Monger Resources Ltd – Published Prospectus May 2021
Page 45
==> picture [79 x 34] intentionally omitted <==
(j) Farm-in or joint venture risk
The Company operates certain projects with third parties through farm-ins or joint ventures and the Company may be adversely affected by the financial failure, withdrawal or default of a farm-in or joint venture party. This may have an adverse effect on the operations and performance of the Company.
(k) Native title risks
The Company is aware that there are four registered native title claims (in the names of Kakarra Part A, Tjalkadjara, Nyalpa Pirniku and Nangaanya-ku) and two registered native title determinations (in the names of Yilka and Yilka #2 and Sullivan Family and Ngadju) within the area covered by the Tenements. For further information, please refer to Section 7 of the Solicitor’s Report.
Accordingly, there is a risk that, if negotiations with the relevant native title parties are not progressed in a timely manner, or are unsuccessful, the grant of the pending Tenements may be delayed or they may be refused.
There remains a risk that in the future, native title and/or registered native title claims may affect the land the subject of the Tenements or in the vicinity of the Tenements.
The existence of native title claims over the area covered by the Tenements, or a subsequent determination of native title over the area, will not impact the rights or interests of the holder under the Tenements provided the Tenements have been validly granted in accordance with the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) ( Native Title Act ).
However, if any Tenement was not validly granted in compliance with the Native Title Act, this may have an adverse impact on the Company's activities.
The grant of any future tenure to the Company over areas that are covered by registered claims or determinations will likely require engagement with the relevant claimants or native title holders (as relevant) in accordance with the Native Title Act.
(l) Aboriginal Heritage Risk
The Company is aware that there are four Aboriginal sites, six applications for 'other heritage places' and three 'stored data places' which are either registered or have been lodged within Tenements ELA38/3511, ELA38/3462, ELA38/3466, E25/562, ELA38/3506, ELA38/3507, ELA38/3462 and ELA38/3466. For further information, please refer to Section 8 of the Solicitor’s Report.
Accordingly, there is a risk that The existence of such sites may preclude or limit mining activities in certain areas of the Tenements. However, the location of these sites do not interfere with the Company's proposed exploration activities.
There remains a risk that additional Aboriginal sites may exist on the land the subject of the Tenements. The existence of such sites may further preclude or limit mining activities in certain areas of the Tenements.
(m) Third party risks
Several of the Tenements overlap various pastoral leases and some of the Tenements overlap a petroleum exploration permit. ELA25/597 and ELA25/603 overlap mining
Mt Monger Resources Ltd – Published Prospectus May 2021
Page 46
==> picture [79 x 34] intentionally omitted <==
tenure (including miscellaneous licences) held by third parties. For further information, please refer to sections 9.1, 9.2 and 9.5 of the Solicitor's Report.
Under Western Australian and Commonwealth legislation, the Company may be required to obtain the consent of and/or pay compensation to the holders of third-party interests which overlay areas within the Tenements, including pastoral leases, petroleum tenure and other mining tenure in respect of exploration or mining activities on the Tenements.
Whilst the Company does not presently consider this to be a material risk to its planned exploration, there is a risk that any delays in respect of conflicting third-party rights, obtaining necessary consents, or compensation obligations, may adversely impact the Company's ability to carry out exploration or mining activities within the affected areas.
(n)
Environmental risk
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, particularly if advanced exploration or field 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.
The cost and complexity of complying with the applicable environmental laws and regulations may prevent the Company from being able to develop potentially economically viable mineral deposits.
Although the Company believes that it is in compliance in all material respects with all applicable environmental laws and regulations, there are certain risks inherent to its activities, such as accidental spills, leakages or other unforeseen circumstances, which could subject the Company to extensive liability.
Government authorities may, from time to time, review the environmental bonds that are placed on permits. The Directors are not in a position to state whether a review is imminent or whether the outcome of such a review would be detrimental to the funding needs of the Company.
Tenements ELA25/597, ELA38/3506, ELA38/3509, ELA38/3519, ELA38/3511 and ELA38/3466 encroach a number of 'C' Class Reserves which may require additional consents and approvals prior to conducting activities on the reserves.
Tenement ELA25/597 encroaches a proposed state forest, which may require additional approvals or plans to be implemented by the Company prior to the grant of the Tenement, which may result in delays in the grant. Any further required consents or approvals that may be required in the event the Company proposes to undertake activities in these areas will be assessed by the Company before any exploration expenditure is committed. For further information, please refer to section 9.4 of the Solicitor's Report.
Failure to obtain such approvals will prevent the Company from undertaking its desired activities. The Company is unable to predict the effect of additional environmental laws and regulations, which may be adopted in the future, including
Mt Monger Resources Ltd – Published Prospectus May 2021
Page 47
==> picture [79 x 34] intentionally omitted <==
whether any such laws or regulations would materially increase the Company's cost of doing business or affect its operations in any area.
There can be no assurances that new environmental laws, regulations or stricter enforcement policies, once implemented, will not oblige the Company to incur significant expenses and undertake significant investments in such respect which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
(o) Licences, permits and approvals
On completion of the Option Agreements, the Company will hold all material authorisations required to undertake the exploration programs described in this Prospectus. However, many of the mineral rights and interests to be held by the Company are subject to the need for ongoing or new government approvals, licences and permits. These requirements, including work permits and environmental approvals, will change as the Company's operations develop. Delays in obtaining, or the inability to obtain, required authorisations may significantly impact on the Company's operations.
(p) Heritage and sociological risk
Some of the Tenements which the Company proposes to mine may be of significance from a heritage or sociological perspective, including Native Title issues. Some sites of significance may be identified within the Tenements and the Company may be hindered by legal and cultural restrictions on mining those Tenements. The Native Title Act recognises and protects the rights and interests in Australia of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in land and waters, according to their traditional laws and customs. There is significant uncertainty associated with Native Title in Australia and this may impact on the Company's operations and future plans.
(q)
Reliance on key personnel
The Company is reliant on a number of key personnel and consultants, including members of the Board. The loss of one or more of these key contributors could have an adverse impact on the business of the Company.
It may be particularly difficult for the Company to attract and retain suitably qualified and experienced people given the current high demand in the industry and relatively small size of the Company, compared with other industry participants.
(r)
Conflicts of interest
Certain Directors are also directors and officers of other companies engaged in mineral exploration and development and mineral property acquisitions. Accordingly, mineral exploration opportunities or prospects of which these Directors become aware may not necessarily be made available to the Company in the first instance. Although these Directors have been advised of their fiduciary duties to the situations that could arise in which their obligations to, or interests in, the Company, there exists actual and potential conflicts of interest among these persons.

3.3 General Risks
(a) Economic risks
General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates, the prevailing global commodity prices 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.
As with any exploration or mining project, the economics are sensitive to metal and commodity prices. Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by many factors beyond the control of the Company. Such factors include supply and demand fluctuations for minerals, technological advances, forward selling activities and other macro-economic factors. These prices may fluctuate to a level where the proposed mining operations are not profitable. Should the Company achieve success leading to mineral production, the revenue it will derive through the sale of commodities also exposes potential income of the Company to commodity price and exchange rate risks.
(b) Market conditions
The market price of the 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.
Further, share market conditions may affect the value of the Company's quoted Shares regardless of the Company's operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:
-
(i) general economic outlook;
-
(ii) interest rates and inflation rates;
-
(iii) currency fluctuations;
-
(iv) changes in investor sentiment;
-
(v) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and
-
(vi) terrorism or other hostilities.
Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.
(c)
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, subversive activities or sabotage, fires, floods, explosions or other catastrophes.
(d)
Government and legal risk
Changes in government, monetary policies, taxation and other laws can have a significant impact on the Company's assets, operations and ultimately the financial performance of the Company and its Shares. Such changes are likely to be beyond
Mt Monger Resources Ltd – Published Prospectus May 2021
Page 49
==> picture [79 x 34] intentionally omitted <==
the control of the Company and may affect industry profitability as well as the Company's capacity to explore and mine.
The Company is not aware of any reviews or changes that would affect the Projects. However, changes in community attitudes on matters such as taxation, competition policy and environmental issues may bring about reviews and possibly changes in government policies. There is a risk that such changes may affect the Company's development plans or its rights and obligations in respect of its Projects. Any such government action may also require increased capital or operating expenditures and could prevent or delay certain operations by the Company.
(e)
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, financial performance and financial position. The Company is not currently engaged in any litigation.
(f)
Insurance risks
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 against all risks associated with mining exploration and production is not always available and where available the costs can be prohibitive.
(g) Taxation
The acquisition and disposal of Securities 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 Securities from a taxation point of view and generally.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company, its officers and each of their respective advisers accept no liability and responsibility with respect to the taxation consequences of applying for Shares under this Prospectus.
(h) Unforeseen expenditure risk
Expenditure may need to be incurred that has not been taken into account by the Company. Although the Company is not aware of any such additional expenditure requirements, if such expenditure is subsequently incurred, this may adversely affect the expenditure proposals of the Company.
(i)
Climate change risks
Climate change is a risk the Company has considered, particularly related to its operations in the mining industry. The climate change risks particularly attributable to the Company include:
Mt Monger Resources Ltd – Published Prospectus May 2021
Page 50
==> picture [79 x 34] intentionally omitted <==
-
(i) 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
-
(ii) climate change may cause certain physical and environmental risks that cannot be predicted by the Company, including events such as increased severity of 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.
(j)
Infectious diseases
The outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is having a material effect on global economic markets. The global economic outlook is facing uncertainty due to the pandemic, which has had and may continue to have a significant impact on capital markets.
The Company's Share price may be adversely affected by the economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19. Further measures to limit the transmission of the virus implemented by governments around the world (such as travel bans and quarantining) may adversely impact the Company's operations and may interrupt the Company carrying out its contractual obligations or cause disruptions to supply chains.
3.4 Speculative investment
The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the Shares offered under this Prospectus.
Therefore, the Shares to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those Shares.
Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is highly speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.

4. Financial Information
4.1
Forecast financial information
There are significant uncertainties associated with forecasting future revenues and expenses of the Company. In light of uncertainty as to timing and outcome of the Company's growth strategies and the general nature of the industry in which the Company will operate, as well as uncertain macro market and economic conditions in the Company's markets, the Company's performance in any future period cannot be reliably estimated. On these bases and after considering ASIC Regulatory Guide 170, the Directors do not believe they have a reasonable basis to reliably forecast future earnings and accordingly forecast financials are not included in this Prospectus.
4.2

4.7 Notes to the Historical and Pro-forma Historical Consolidated Statement of Financial Position
Note 1. Significant accounting policies
The significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the Historical Financial Information and the Pro-forma Historical Consolidated Statement of Financial Position are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all periods presented unless otherwise stated.
Mt Monger Resources Ltd – Published Prospectus May 2021
Page 58
==> picture [79 x 34] intentionally omitted <==
(a) Basis of preparation
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the period ending 31 December 2020 have been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001.
This financial report also complies with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report.
The financial report has been prepared on a historical costs basis and has been presented in Australian Dollars (AUD) rounded to the nearest AUD1 unless otherwise stated.
(b) Revenue recognition
Interest
Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.
Other revenue
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.
(c) 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. For the statement of cash flows presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents also includes bank overdrafts, which are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.
(d) Exploration and evaluation assets
Exploration and evaluation expenditure in relation to separate areas of interest for which rights of tenure are current is carried forward as an asset in the statement of financial position where it is expected that the expenditure will be recovered through the successful development and exploitation of an area of interest, or by its sale; or exploration activities are continuing in an area and activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable estimate of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves. Where a project or an area of interest has been abandoned, the expenditure incurred thereon is written off in the year in which the decision is made.

Notes to the Historical and Pro-forma Historical Consolidated Statement of
Financial Position Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)
- (a) Impairment of non-financial assets
Non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit.
- (b) Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the company prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature, they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
- (c) 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.
- (d) Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes
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 reported 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.

(a) Board of Directors
The Board is responsible for the corporate governance of the Company. The Board develops strategies for the Company, reviews strategic objectives and monitors performance against those objectives.

In general, the Board assumes (amongst others) the following responsibilities:
-
(i) providing leadership and setting the strategic objectives of the Company;
-
(ii) appointing and when necessary, replacing the Executive Directors;
-
(iii) approving the appointment and when necessary, replacement of other senior executives;
-
(iv) undertaking appropriate checks before appointing a person, or putting forward to security holders a candidate for election, as a Director;
-

-
(vii) overseeing the integrity of the Company's accounting and corporate reporting systems including the external audit;

-
(ix) ensuring that the Company has in place an appropriate risk management framework and setting the risk appetite within which the Board expects management to operate; and
-
(x) monitoring the effectiveness of the Company's governance practices.

(f) Remuneration arrangements
The remuneration of any Executive Director will be decided by the Board, without the affected Executive Director participating in that decision-making process.
In addition, subject to any necessary Shareholder approval, a Director may be paid fees or other amounts as the Directors determine where a Director performs special duties or otherwise performs services outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a Director (eg non-cash performance incentives such as options).
Directors are also entitled to be paid reasonable travel and other expenses incurred by them in the course of the performance of their duties as Directors.
The Board reviews and approves the Company's remuneration policy in order to ensure that the Company is able to attract and retain executives and Directors who will create value for Shareholders, having regard to the amount considered to be commensurate for an entity of the Company's size and level of activity as well as the relevant Directors' time, commitment and responsibility.

(g)
Securities trading policy
The Board has adopted a policy that sets out the guidelines on the sale and purchase of securities in the Company by its key management personnel (ie Directors and, if applicable, any employees reporting directly to the Executive Directors). The policy generally provides that the written acknowledgement of the Chairman (or the Board in the case of the Chairman) must be obtained prior to trading.
(h)
Diversity policy
The Board values diversity and recognises the benefits it can bring to the organisation's ability to achieve its goals. Accordingly, the Company has set in place a diversity policy. This policy outlines the Company's diversity objectives in relation to gender, age, cultural background and ethnicity. It includes requirements for the Board

to establish measurable objectives for achieving diversity, and for the Board to assess annually both the objectives, and the Company's progress in achieving them.
(i)
Audit and risk

(k) Social media policy
The Board has adopted a social media policy to regulate the use of social media by people associated with the Company or its subsidiaries to preserve the Company's reputation and integrity. The policy outlines requirements for compliance with confidentiality, governance, legal, privacy and regulatory parameters when using social media to conduct Company business.
(l) Whistleblower policy
The Board has adopted a whistleblower protection policy to ensure concerns regarding unacceptable conduct including breaches of the Company's code of conduct can be raised on a confidential basis, without fear of reprisal, dismissal or discriminatory treatment. The purpose of this policy is to promote responsible whistle blowing about issues where the interests of others, including the public, or of the organisation itself are at risk.

5.9
Departures from Recommendations
Following admission to the Official List, the Company will be required to report any departures from the Recommendations in its annual financial report.
The Company's compliance and departures from the Recommendations as at the date of this Prospectus are detailed in the table below.
Mt Monger Resources Ltd – Published Prospectus May 2021
Page 76
==> picture [79 x 35] intentionally omitted <==
| Principles and Recommendations |
Explanation for Departures |
|---|---|
| Recommendation 1.5 Diversity Policy |
While the Company is committed to workforce diversity, the Board believes that with its scale of activities and relatively small number of employees, it is not appropriate in the Company’s current circumstances that the Board set and disclose measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity; and annually assess objectives and the entity’s progress in achieving them. |
| Recommendation 2.1 Nomination Committee |
The Company will not have a separate Nomination Committee until such time as the Board is of sufficient size and structure, and the Company’s operations are of a sufficient magnitude for a separate committee to be of benefit to the Company. In the meantime, the full Board will carry out the duties that would ordinarily be assigned to that committee under the written terms of reference for that committee. |
| Recommendation 2.4 Majority of Independent Directors on the Board |
The Company does not currently have any independent directors on the Board. The non-executive directors of the Board are not considered to be independent due to their equity interest in the Company being greater than 5%. This is not considered unreasonable due to the current size and nature of the existing Board and the magnitude of the Company’s operations. |
| Recommendation 2.5 Chair should be an Independent Director (and not the CEO) |
The Chair of the Company is not currently considered an independent Director due to his equity interest in the Company being greater than 5%. The Board does not have an independent Chair because, at this stage in the Company's development, John Hannaford is considered best placed to fulfil this role. The Board will, as necessary, consider the appointment of an independent director who can fulfil the role in the event the Chair is conflicted. |
| Recommendation 4.1 and 7.1 Audit Committee and Risk Committee |
The Company has a separate audit and risk committee. Committee members are the two non-executive directors of the Board and they are not independent. The Board may as necessary, at a time when the Company’s operations are of a sufficient number and magnitude to be of benefit to the Company, consider the appointment of independent directors who can be added to the committee and fulfil the independent role required under the Recommendations. In the meantime, the committee will carry out the duties under the written terms of reference. |

| Principles and Recommendations |
Explanation for Departures |
|---|---|
| Recommendation 7.3 Internal Audit Function |
The Company will not have an internal audit function until the Company’s operations are of a sufficient number and magnitude to be of benefit to the Company. In the meantime, senior management with the involvement and oversight of the full Board will carry out the duties that would be ordinarily assigned to that function. |
| Recommendation 8.1 Remuneration Committee |
The Company will not have a separate remuneration committee until such time as the Board is of sufficient size and structure, and the Company’s operations are of a sufficient magnitude for a separate committee to be of benefit to the Company. In the meantime, the full Board will carry out the duties that would ordinarily be assigned to that committee under the written terms of reference for that committee. |

These rights and liabilities can involve complex questions of law arising from an interaction of the Constitution with statutory and common law requirements. For a Shareholder to obtain a definitive assessment of the rights and liabilities which attach to the Shares in any specific circumstances, the Shareholder should seek legal advice.

The following information is provided in respect of Guidance Note 19 of the Listing Rules:
-
(a) The Performance Securities are to be issued to Todd (or his nominee), in accordance with amounts set out in Section 6.1(b) in conjunction with the Offer and the Company's application for Admission. The Performance Securities are not considered to be "ordinary course of business acquisition securities".
-
(b) Todd is the Vendor pursuant to the Todd Agreement.
-
(c) The Performance Securities will be issued to Todd to limit upfront dilution to Shareholders and provide an instrument which hedges the Company's initial exposure to unproven assets.
-
(d) The consideration to be satisfied by the Company pursuant to the Todd Agreement are set out in Section 6.1(b).
-
(e) Other than the Performance Securities, Todd does not currently hold any Securities in the Company.
-
(f) The Performance Securities are being issued as part consideration for the acquisition of the Todd Tenements. The purpose of the Performance Securities is to provide an at risk component of the consideration based on the performance of the Todd Tenements.
-
(g) The Company considers that the Performance Securities are fair and reasonable, including because there is an appropriate link between the Milestone and the purpose for which the Performance Securities are to be issued, as:
-
(i) consistent with Guidance Note 19, performance securities are sometimes issued to a vendor selling an asset as a form of contingent deferred consideration where the value of the asset being sold may vary materially depending on whether the relevant performance milestone is achieved;
-
(ii) as stated above, the Performance Securities will be issued to the select vendors to limit upfront dilution to shareholders and provide an instrument which hedges the Company's initial exposure to unproven assets; and
-
(iii) the Company is seeking admission as a mineral exploration entity, the Milestone is based on the delineation of mineral resource estimates and therefore represents a reasonable target for the Company on readily ascertainable and verifiable metrics.
-
(h) The number of Performance Securities to be issued has been determined on a dollar value attributed by the Company to the Todd Tenements. The Company considers the floor price of $0.20, being the offer price pursuant to the Offer, is appropriate in the circumstances. No Performance Securities are being issued to a party that does not have an interest in the assets.
-
(i) The Performance Securities will convert into 250,000 Shares upon satisfaction of the Milestone and (assuming no other Shares are issued and the $0.20 floor price applies) will comprise approximately 0.58% of the Shares on issue.

The Mt Monger Resources Limited Employee Securities Incentive Plan ( Plan ) was adopted by the Board on or about the date of this Prospectus. The full terms of the Plan may be inspected at the registered office of the Company during normal business hours. A summary of the terms of the Plan is set out below. It is intended that both the Executive and Non-Executive Directors will participate in the Plan. As at the date of this Prospectus the only director who participates or is proposed to participate in the Plan is Mr Lachlan Reynolds.
(a) ( Eligible Participant ): Eligible Participant means a person that:
-
(i) is an "eligible participant" (as that term is defined in ASIC Class Order 14/1000) in relation to the Company or an Associated Body Corporate (as that term is defined in ASIC Class Order 14/1000); and
-
(ii) has been determined by the Board to be eligible to participate in the Plan from time to time.
-
(b) ( Maximum allocation )
-
(i) The Company must not make an offer of Securities under the Plan where the total number of Plan Shares that may be issued, or acquired upon exercise of Plan Convertible Securities offered, when aggregated with the number of Shares issued or that may be issued as a result of offers made under the Plan at any time during the previous 3 year period would exceed 5% of the total number of Shares on issue at the date of the offer.
-
(ii) The maximum number of equity securities proposed to be issued under the Plan for the purposes of the Listing Rules is 10,000,000 ( ASX Limit ), meaning that the Company may issue up to the ASX Limit under the Plan, without seeking Shareholder Approval and without reducing its placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
(c) ( 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.
-
(d) ( 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.
-
(e) ( 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.
Mt Monger Resources Ltd – Published Prospectus May 2021
Page 101
==> picture [79 x 34] intentionally omitted <==
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.
-
(f) ( 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.
-
(g) ( 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. A Participant must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of hedging their economic exposure to a Convertible Security that has been granted to them.
-
(h) ( 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.
-
(i) ( 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 prior to the earlier of any date specified in the vesting notice and the expiry date as set out in the invitation.
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.
Mt Monger Resources Ltd – Published Prospectus May 2021
Page 102
==> picture [79 x 34] intentionally omitted <==
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.
-
(j) ( 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.
-
(k) ( 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.
Where the Board determines that a Participant has acted fraudulently or dishonestly, or wilfully breached his or her duties to 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.
-
(l) ( 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.
-
(m) ( Rights attaching to Plan Shares ): All Shares issued 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.
-
(n) ( Disposal restrictions on Securities ): If the invitation provides that any Plan Shares or Convertible Securities are subject to any restrictions as to the disposal or other dealing by a Participant for a period, 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 or Convertible Security is subject to any disposal restrictions under the Plan, the Participant will not:
Mt Monger Resources Ltd – Published Prospectus May 2021
Page 103
==> picture [79 x 34] intentionally omitted <==
-
(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.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, where a Plan Share or Convertible Security is issued in reliance on the Company satisfying the start-up company requirements in section 83A-33 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) ( Tax Act ), a legal or a beneficial interest in the Convertible Security may not be disposed of until the earlier of:
-
(i) the Eligible Participant to whom the Convertible Securities were offered under an invitation becoming neither an employee nor a director of the Company;
-
(ii) three (3) years after the acquisition date of the Convertible Security;
-
(iii) a disposal under an arrangement which meets the requirements in section 83A-130 of the Tax Act;
-
(iv) such time as the Commissioner of Taxation allows in accordance with section 83A-45(5) of the Tax Act; and
-
(v) the Board determines that the Commissioner of Taxation is reasonably likely to allow a disposal of the Convertible Security under section 83A45(5) of the Tax Act
-
(o) ( 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 allotment 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.
-
(p) ( 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.
-
(q) ( 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
Mt Monger Resources Ltd – Published Prospectus May 2021
Page 104
==> picture [79 x 34] intentionally omitted <==
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.
- (r) ( 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.

The Board of Directors Mt Monger Resources Limited Suite 2, 38 Colin Street WEST PERTH WA 6005
Dear Directors,
INVESTIGATING ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND PRO FORMA HISTORICAL CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION
INTRODUCTION
We have been engaged by Mt Monger Resources Limited (“Mt Monger” or “the Company”) to report on the historical financial information of the Company and pro forma historical Consolidated Statement of Financial Position of the Company for inclusion in Annexure A of the prospectus (“Prospectus”) to be dated on or about 21 May 2021, and to be issued by Mt Monger in respect of its offer of 25,000,000 shares at an issue price of $0.20 per share to raise $5,000,000 by way of an Initial Public Offering (“the Offer”).
Expressions and terms defined in the Prospectus have the same meaning in this Report.
This Report has been prepared to provide information and a conclusion on the historical results of the Company for the period from incorporation of 13 November 2020 to 31 December 2020 and on pro forma financial information as at 31 December 2020. We disclaim any assumption of responsibility for any reliance on this Report or on the Financial Information to which it relates for any purpose other than for which it was prepared.
SCOPE OF REPORT
You have requested PKF Perth to perform a limited assurance engagement in relation to the historical and pro forma historical information described below and disclosed in the Prospectus.
The historical and pro forma historical financial information is presented in the Prospectus in an abbreviated form, insofar as it does not include all of the presentation and disclosures required by Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements applicable to general purpose financial reports prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001.
You have requested PKF Perth to review the following historical financial information (together the ‘Historical Financial Information’) of the Company included in Section 4.5 of the Prospectus;

-
The reviewed historical Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income and Consolidated Statements of Cashflows for the period from incorporation of 13 November 2020 to 31 December 2020; and
-
The reviewed historical Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 2020.
The Historical Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the stated basis of preparation, being the recognition and measurement principles contained in Australian Accounting Standards and the Company’s adopted accounting policies.
The Historical Financial Information has been extracted from the financial report of the Company for the period from incorporation of 13 November 2020 to 31 December 2020, which was reviewed by Bentleys Audit & Corporate (WA) Pty Ltd (“Bentleys”) in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Bentleys issued an unmodified review opinion with a material uncertainty related to going concern on the financial report.
Pro Forma Historical Financial Information
You have requested PKF Perth to review the following pro forma historical financial information (the ‘Pro Forma Historical Financial Information’) of the Company included in Section 4.6 of the Prospectus:
- The pro forma historical Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 2020.
The Pro Forma Historical Financial Information has been derived from the historical financial information of the Company as at 31 December 2020 after adjusting for the effects of the subsequent events described below and the pro forma adjustments detailed in Section 4.4.
The stated basis of preparation is the recognition and measurement principles contained in Australian Accounting Standards applied to the historical financial information and the event(s) or transaction(s) to which the pro forma adjustments relate, as described in Section 4.4, as if those event(s) or transaction(s) had occurred as at the date of the historical financial information. Due to its nature, the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information does not represent the Company’s actual or prospective financial position or financial performance.
The Pro Forma Historical Financial Information has been compiled by the Company to illustrate the impact of the events or transactions described in Section 4.4 on the Company’s financial position as at 31 December 2020. As part of this process, information about the Company’s financial position has been extracted by the Company from the Company’s financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2020.

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Historical Financial Information and the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information, including the selection and determination of pro forma adjustments made to the Historical Financial Information and included in the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information.

OUR RESPONSIBILITY
==> picture [143 x 120] intentionally omitted <==
Our responsibility is to express limited assurance conclusions on the Historical Financial Information and the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information. We have conducted our engagement in accordance with the Australian Standard on Assurance Engagement (ASAE) 3450 Assurance Engagements involving Corporate Fundraisings and/or Prospective Financial Information.
Our limited assurance procedures consisted of making enquiries, primarily of the persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A limited assurance engagement is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain reasonable assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in a reasonable assurance engagement. Accordingly we do not express an audit opinion.
Our engagement did not involve updating or re-issuing any previously issued audit report or limited assurance reports on any financial information used as a source of the financial information.
CONCLUSIONS
Historical Financial Information
Based on our limited assurance engagement, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Historical Financial Information, as described in this Report, and comprising:
-
The reviewed historical Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income and Statements of Cashflows for the period from incorporation of 13 November 2020 to 31 December 2020; and
-
The reviewed historical Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 2020.
-
are not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with the stated basis of preparation, as described in Section 4.3.
Pro Forma Historical Financial Information
Based on our limited assurance engagement, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information as described in this Report, and comprising:
- The pro forma historical Consolidated Statement of Financial Position of the Company as at 31 December 2020;
is not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with the stated basis of preparation, as described in Section 4.3.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
==> picture [143 x 120] intentionally omitted <==
The pro forma statement of financial position reflects the following events that have occurred subsequent to 31 December 2020:-
-
(i) Seed capital of $470,000 was received between 14 January 2021 and 7 May 2021;
-
(ii) The Company amended Share Purchase Agreements to acquire subsidiaries which was effected in November 2020 and resulted in the cancellation of 2,000,000 Shares previously issued as consideration for the acquisition of Tigers Paw, Golden Wheelbarrow #1 and Golden Wheelbarrow #2 to the value of $200,000; and
-
(iii) Mt Monger Resources has entered into a farm-in agreement with Tevel Pty Ltd in relation to 3 applications held by Tevel Pty Ltd.
Apart from the matters dealt with in this Report, and having regard to the scope of this Report and the information provided by the directors, to the best of our knowledge and belief no other material transaction or events outside the ordinary business of the Company, not described above, has come to our attention that would require comment on, or adjustment to, the information referred to in our Report or that would cause such information to be misleading or deceptive.
ASSUMPTIONS ADOPTED IN COMPILING THE PRO-FORMA STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION
The pro forma historical Statement of Financial Position as described in Section 4.6 has been prepared based on the financial statements of the Company as at 31 December 2020, the subsequent events set out above, and the pro forma adjustments detailed at Section 4.4.

5. Risk factors
5.1 Title risks
The Company has a beneficial interest in the following Tenements:
-
(a) E25/525 and E25/565 are held by Accelerate and will be transferred to the Company once completion has occurred in accordance with the Accelerate Agreement;
-
(b) E25/531 and E25/532 are held by Todd, and will be transferred to the Company once completion has occurred in accordance with the Todd Agreement;
-
(c) E25/536 is held by Wilson and will be transferred to the Company once completion has occurred in accordance with the Wilson Agreement;
-
(d) P25/2490 and P25/2489 are held by Wiltshire and will be transferred to the Company once completion as occurred in accordance with the Wiltshire Agreement;
-
(e) E25/562 and P25/2568 are held by Jindalee and ELA25/597 has been applied for by Jindalee. The 80% interest in these Tenements will be transferred to the Company once completion has occurred in accordance with the Jindalee Agreement. The Jindalee Agreement also contemplates that the Company and Jindalee will enter into a joint venture agreement which will govern the exploration, expenditure, funding, dilution and maintenance of the Tenements;
-
(f) E38/3302 is held by K2O and will be transferred to the Company once completion as occurred in accordance with the K2O Agreement;
-
(g) The Company owns 75% of the issued capital in GW2, and therefore has a 75% beneficial interest in Pending Tenements ELA39/2218 and ELA39/2219, which have been applied for by GW2; and
-
(h) ELA38/3462, ELA38/3466 and ELA38/3499 have been applied for by Tevel. The Company will have the option to earn up to a 75% interest in the Tenements and in separate stages, subject to the Company expending minimum amounts on exploration expenditure and within specified periods. Upon the Company earning an interest in the Tenements, a joint venture will automatically be formed and the parties may elect to negotiate a formal joint venture agreement.
There is a risk that some of the Tenements (or the interest therein) will not be transferred to the Company or that the transfer is delayed. Either of these scenarios may adversely impact the Company's ability to carry out exploration or mining
Page 5
Doc ID 804338393/v8
activities within the affected areas or may result in additional delays or costs to the Company. For further information, refer to Section 10 of this Report.
5.2 Grant risk
Pending Tenements ELA25/597, ELA25/603, ELA38/3506, ELA38/3507, ELA38/3509, ELA38/3519, ELA39/2218, ELA39/2219, ELA38/3510, ELA38/3511, ELA38/3462, ELA38/3466 and ELA3499, have not yet been granted. There is a risk that:
-
(a) the Pending Tenements may not be granted;
-
(b) there may be a delay to grant of the Pending Tenements;
-
(c) the Pending Tenements may be granted over a lesser area than applied for; and/or
-
(d) the Pending Tenements may be granted subject to non-standard conditions.
In particular,
-
(e) ELA25/597 overlaps four granted mining leases (M25/71, M25/125, M25/133 and M25/236), three granted miscellaneous licences (L25/22, L25/27 and L25/41) and two applications for exploration licences which were both lodged before ELA25/597 (ELA25/572 and ELA25/589). These mining leases encroach just over 58% of the current application area of ELA25/597. The extent of the mining lease encroachments will be excised from ELA25/597 from grant, therefore reducing the area of ELA25/597 to under 42% of the current application area. Upon grant of ELA25/572 and ELA25/589, the portion of ELA25/597 that overlaps ELA25/572 and ELA25/589 will be excised from ELA25/597 (92.31% and 23.08% respectively);
-
(f) ELA25/603 overlaps one granted mining lease (M25/347), three granted miscellaneous licences (L25/29, L25/41 and L25/47), one application for a miscellaneous licence (L25/63), one granted prospecting licence (P25/2451), one application for a prospecting licence (PLA25/2569), and five applications for exploration licences (ELA25/586 (first in time application), ELA25/604, ELA25/605 and ELA25/606). The extent of the granted mining lease and granted prospecting licence will be excised from ELA25/603 from grant, reducing the area of ELA25/603 by 0.39%. One exploration licence (ELA25/586) was lodged before the application for ELA25/603. Upon grant the of ELA25/586, the portion of ELA25/603 that overlaps ELA25/586 (66.67%) will be excised from ELA25/603;

(g) Pending Tenements ELA25/603, ELA38/3509, ELA39/2218 and ELA39/2219 are subject to Mining Act objections (together the 'Objections' ). For further information on the Objections, refer to paragraph 9.3 below. In the event that the Objections are not withdrawn, the grant of ELA25/603, ELA38/3509, ELA39/2218 and ELA39/2219 will be delayed or the applications may be refused by the Warden. If the parties cannot reach an agreement for the withdrawal of the Objections, then the matters may
Page 6
Doc ID 804338393/v8
progress to a hearing before the Warden where the Warden will determine the Objections and make a recommendation to the Minister for grant or refusal of the applications. However, the Company is of the view that these 5 Pending Tenements (if not granted) will not have a material impact on its planned exploration program. Following the withdrawal of the Objections, ELA25/603, ELA38/3509, ELA39/2218 and ELA39/2219 will be subject to a four month native title advertising period; and
- (h) the Pending Tenements are yet to fulfil with the requirements of the Native Title Act and there is a risk that, if negotiations with the relevant native title party are not progressed in a timely manner, or are unsuccessful, the grant of the Pending Tenements may be delayed or they may be refused.
For further information on the mining tenure affecting the Pending Tenements, please refer to section 7.15.
5.3 Reserve and State Forest risks
ELA25/597, ELA38/3506, ELA38/3509, ELA38/3519, ELA38/3511 and ELA38/3466 encroach a number of 'C' Class Reserves and ELA25/597 encroaches a proposed state forest, which may require additional approvals or plans to be implemented by the Company, which may result in delays in the grant of ELA25/597, ELA38/3506, ELA38/3509, ELA38/3519, ELA38/3511 and ELA38/3466. Upon grant, tenement conditions may be imposed on ELA25/597, ELA38/3506, ELA38/3509, ELA38/3519, ELA38/3511 and ELA38/3466 in respect to the reserve. For further information, please refer to section 9.4.
5.4 Third-party tenure risks
Our Searches indicate that the Tenements overlap pastoral leases (see paragraph 9.1 for details) and two petroleum pipeline licences (see paragraph 9.5 for details).
Any delays or costs in respect of conflicting third-party rights, obtaining necessary consents, or compensation obligations, may adversely impact the Company's ability to carry out exploration or mining activities within the affected areas.
5.5 Royalties
Pursuant to the Sale Agreements, the Company:
-
(a) has agreed to pay to Todd a royalty of $1.00 per tonne of ore mined and produced in respect of the gold mineralisation from Tenements E25/531 and E25/532 under the Todd Agreement (the Todd Royalty );
-
(b) has agreed to pay Wilson a 1% gross revenue royalty in respect of any future mineral production from E25/536 under the Wilson Agreement (the Wilson Royalty );
-
(c) has agreed to pay Wiltshire a 1.25% net smelter royalty in respect of any future production from P25/2490 and P25/2489, capped at a maximum of 10,000 oz (the Wiltshire Royalty );
Page 7
Doc ID 804338393/v8
-
(d) has agreed to grant K2O a 1.5% net smelter royalty capped at a maximum of $1,000,000 in respect to E38/3302 under the K2O Agreement (the K2O Royalty ); and
-
(e) has assumed from Accelerate the obligation to pay a 1% net smelter royalty over the gold produced from E25/525 and E25/565 (the Tenements the subject of the Accelerate Agreement) to Vox (the Vox Royalty ). The Company has entered into a deed of assignment, assumption and consent to effect the payment of the Vox Royalty, which will become payable upon settlement of the Accelerate Agreement.
For further information on the royalties, please refer to Section 11 of this Report.
These royalties, along with the usual royalties payable to the State of Western Australia, may have an impact on the economics of progressing any proposed mining operations.
5.6 Native title risks
The Searches indicate that there are registered determined native title claims and registered native title claim applications covering the Tenements (see paragraph 7.12 for details).
The existence of native title determinations or claims over the area covered by the Tenements, or a subsequent determination of native title over the area, will not impact the rights or interests of the holder under the Tenements provided the Tenements have been or will be validly granted in accordance with the Native Title Act.
However, if any of the Tenements were not validly granted in compliance with the Native Title Act, this may have an adverse impact on the Company's activities. There is nothing in our enquiries to indicate that any of the Tenements were not or will not be validly granted in accordance with the Native Title Act.
The grant of any future tenure to the Company over areas that are covered by registered claims or determinations will likely require engagement with the relevant claimants or native title holders (as relevant) in accordance with the Native Title Act.
5.7 Aboriginal Heritage risks
The Searches indicate that there are four Aboriginal sites and ten applications lodged for 'other heritage places' located in the Tenements. However, there remains a risk that additional Aboriginal sites or places may exist on the land the subject of the Tenements. The existence of such sites may preclude or limit mining activities in certain areas of the Tenements.
See paragraph 8 below for further details.

Doc ID 804338393/v8
6. Tenements
The following provides a description of the nature and key terms of the Tenements (including potential successor tenements) that may be granted under the Mining Act which are relevant to the Tenements the subject of this Report.
6.1 Exploration Licences
-
(a) Licence area and authority
-
(i) The maximum size of an exploration licence is 70 graticular blocks or, in designated parts of Western Australia, up to a maximum of 200 graticular blocks. Graticular blocks range in area from approximately 2.8km² to 3.3km².
-
(ii) The holder of an exploration licence is entitled to enter the land for the purposes of exploring for minerals with employees, contractors and such vehicles, machinery and equipment as may be necessary or expedient.
-
(iii) An exploration licence will not be granted over land the subject of an existing mining tenement other than a miscellaneous licence.
-
(b) Term and extension
Exploration licences are granted for a term of 5 years. The Minister has discretion to extend the exploration licence for one further period of 5 years and then by further 2 year periods if satisfied that a prescribed ground for extension exists.
-
(c) Other conditions
-
(i) Exploration licences are granted subject to various standard conditions, including conditions relating to minimum expenditure, the payment of prescribed rent and observance of Aboriginal heritage, environmental protection and reporting requirements. A failure to comply with these conditions or obtain an exemption from compliance may lead to forfeiture of the exploration licence.
-
(ii) In addition to these standard conditions, certain significant or nonstandard conditions affecting the Tenements are set out in Schedule 1.
-
(iii) On the basis of the Searches, we are not aware of any material noncompliance with the conditions attaching to the Tenements.
Page 9
Doc ID 804338393/v8
(d) Relinquishment requirement
Exploration licences of more than 10 blocks applied for after 10 February 2006 are subject to a requirement that the holder relinquishes 40% of the tenement area at the end of the sixth year that the licence is held. A failure to lodge the required partial surrender could render the exploration licence liable to forfeiture.
(e) Retention status
The holder of an exploration licence applied for after 10 February 2006 may apply for 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 approved, 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 programmed of works or require the holder to apply for a mining lease.
- (f) Transfer during first year
During the first year of grant of an exploration licence, a legal or equitable interest in or affecting the exploration licence cannot be transferred or otherwise dealt with, whether directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Minister.
- (g) Right to apply for mining lease
The holder of an exploration licence has priority to apply for a mining lease over any 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.
-
(h) Rent and expenditure requirements
-
(i) Annual rent is payable for an exploration licence and the amount payable varies depending on the number of graticular blocks and increases over the term of the licence.
-
(ii) The holder of an exploration licence must comply with the prescribed minimum expenditure conditions unless the holder has been granted an exemption (in whole or part) from those conditions by the Minister. The minimum expenditure payable also varies depending on the number of graticular blocks and increases over the term of the licence.
-
(iii) An exemption to the minimum expenditure conditions will only be granted on certain grounds set out in the Mining Act or at the discretion of the Minister. A failure to comply with expenditure requirements, unless an exemption is granted, renders the
Page 10
Doc ID 804338393/v8
exploration licence liable to forfeiture or the Minister imposing a monetary penalty as an alternative.
- (iv) Following a ministerial statement of opinion, published in the Government Gazette on 3 April 2020, the grounds for exemptions to expenditure requirements in Western Australia have been expanded to include circumstances where a holder is unable to meet the expenditure requirements as the direct result of COVID-19 or restrictions imposed by governments in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This decision will be valid until 30 June 2021, unless rescinded earlier.
6.2 Prospecting Licences
-
(a) Application
-
(i) A person may lodge an application for a prospecting licence in accordance with the Mining Act. The mining registrar or Warden decides whether to grant an application for a prospecting licence.
-
(ii) An application for a prospecting licence cannot be legally transferred and continues in the name of the applicant.
-
(b) Rights
The holder of a prospecting licence is entitled to enter upon land for the purposes of prospecting for minerals.
(c) Term
A prospecting licence has a term of 4 years. Where the prospecting licence was applied for and granted after 10 February 2006, the Minister may extend the term by 4 years and if retention status if granted (see below) by further term or terms of 4 years. Where a prospecting licence is transferred before a renewal application has been determined, the transferee is deemed to be the applicant.
(d) Retention status
The holder of a prospecting licence applied for and granted after 10 February 2006 may apply for approval of retention status for the prospecting licence. The Minister may approve retention status for the whole or any part of the land subject of a prospecting licence where there is an identified mineral resource within the prospecting licence but its impracticable to mine the resource for prescribed reasons. On the approval of the retention status the Minister may impose a condition requiring a holder to comply with a specific programme of works or require the holder to apply for a mining lease.
Page 11
Doc ID 804338393/v8
(e) Conditions
Prospecting licences are granted subject to various standard conditions including conditions relating to minimum expenditure, the payment of rent and observance of environmental protection and reporting requirements. These standard conditions are not detailed in this Report. A failure to comply with these conditions or obtain an exemption from compliance may lead to forfeiture of the prospecting licence.
(f) Relinquishment
There is no requirement to relinquish any portion of the prospecting licence.
- (g) Priority to apply for a mining lease
The holder of a prospecting licence has priority to apply for a mining lease over any of the land subject to the prospecting licence. An application for a mining lease must be made prior to the expiry of the prospecting licence. The prospecting licence remains in force until the application for the mining lease is determined.
(h) Transfer
There is no restriction on transfer or other dealing in a prospecting licence.
6.3 Mining Leases
-
(a) Application
-
(i) Any person may lodge an application for a mining lease, although a holder of a prospecting licence, exploration licence or retention licence over the relevant area has priority. The Minister decides whether to grant an application for a mining lease.
-
(ii) The application, where made after 10 February 2006, must be accompanied by either a mining proposal or a statement outlining mining intentions and a "mineralisation report" indicating there is significant mineralisation in the area over which a mining lease is sought. A mining lease accompanied by a “mineralisation report" will only be approved where the Director considers that there is a reasonable prospect that the mineralisation identified will result in a mining operation.
(b) Rights
The holder of a mining lease is entitled to mine for and dispose of any minerals on the land in respect of which the lease was granted. A mining lease entitles the holder to do all acts and things necessary to effectively carry out mining operations.
Page 12
Doc ID 804338393/v8
(c) Term
A mining lease has a term of 21 years and may be renewed for successive periods of 21 years. Where a mining lease is transferred before a renewal application has been determined, the transferee is deemed to be the applicant.
(d) Conditions
Mining leases are granted subject to various standard conditions, including conditions relating to expenditure, the payment of prescribed rent and royalties and observance of environmental protection and reporting requirements. An unconditional performance bond may be required to secure performance of these obligations. A failure to comply with these conditions may lead to forfeiture of the mining lease. For the purpose of this Report, we have only summarised key conditions and endorsements relating to the Tenements in Schedule 1.
(e) Transfer
The consent of the Minister is required to transfer a mining lease.
(f) Royalty
Where minerals of economic significance are discovered, the holder of a mining lease is obliged to report this to the Minister promptly. A royalty is payable to the State of Western Australia in relation to minerals obtained from the land that is the subject of a mining lease granted under the Mining Act. This is particularly relevant where native title agreement royalties are calculated by reference to the royalty payable to the State of Western Australia. The royalty rates vary according to the product concerned. Western Australia has a three-tiered royalty system which applies one of three royalty rates depending on the form in which the mineral is sold (ore, concentrate or final form), and the extent to which it is processed. In Western Australia, there are two systems used to collect mineral royalties:
-
(i) specific rate - calculated as a flat rate per tonne produced and generally applies under legislation to low value construction and industrial minerals. The rates on production between 1 July 2015 and 30 June 2020 are 73 cents per tonne and 117 cents per tonne; and
-
(ii) ad valorem - calculated as a percentage of the 'royalty value' of the mineral, which applies under the Mining Regulations. The royalty value is broadly calculated as the quantity of the mineral in the form in which it is first sold, multiplied by the price in that form, minus any allowable deductions. The ad valorem royalty rate takes into account price fluctuations and material grades as follows:
-
(A) bulk material (subject to limited treatment) - 7.5% of the royalty value;
Page 13
Doc ID 804338393/v8
-
(B) concentrate material (subject to substantial enrichment through a concentration plant) - 5% of the royalty value; and
-
(C) metal - 2.5% of the royalty value.
The 'royalty value' components used to calculate the 'royalty value' are defined under the Mining Regulations. In some cases, for example in the case of nickel, an alternative value applies.
- (g) Mining Rehabilitation Fund
The holders of all mining tenements, except those tenements covered by special agreements with the State of Western Australia not listed in the Mining Rehabilitation Fund Regulations 2013 (WA), are required to participate in the Mining Rehabilitation Fund. This is a pooled fund to which Western Australian mining operators contribute and the money is used to rehabilitate abandoned mine sites in Western Australia.
7. Native title
7.1 General
-
(a) The law in Australia recognises native title. In particular, it recognises that Aboriginal people may hold native title rights and interests in respect of their land. Native title exists where Aboriginal people have maintained a traditional connection to their land and waters, provided it has not been extinguished.
-
(b) The grant of a mining tenement also creates rights in respect of land. Those mining tenement rights may affect (ie be inconsistent with) certain native title rights and interests. As a general statement, those mining tenement rights will be invalid as against any native title rights, unless made valid by certain procedures in the Native Title Act.
-
7.2
An explanation: Native title
-
(a) On 3 June 1992, the High Court of Australia held in Mabo v. Queensland (No. 2) (1992) 175 CLR 1 that the common law of Australia recognises a form of native title. Native title rights and interests to land are recognised where the claimants ( Aboriginal people ) can establish that they have maintained a continuous connection with their land in accordance with their traditional laws and customs, and that their native title rights and interests have not been lawfully extinguished. Native title rights can be lawfully extinguished in different ways, including voluntary surrender, death of the last survivor of a community entitled to native title, abandonment of the land or the grant of incompatible title (such as the grant of freehold land).
-
(b) The Native Title Act came into effect on 1 January 1994, largely in response to the decision in Mabo v. Queensland (No. 2) (1992) 175 CLR 1.
Page 14
Doc ID 804338393/v8
7.3 Native title claims
-
(a) The Native Title Act sets out a process by which Aboriginal people may seek a determination by the Federal Court that they hold native title rights and interests. Whilst the Federal Court is assessing the claimed native title rights and interests, a Registrar of the NNTT will assess whether the native title claim meets certain registration requirements set out in the Native Title Act, and if so, the native title claim will be entered on the Register of Native Title Claims ( RNTC ). If the Federal Court determines that the claimed native rights and interests exist, details of the determined native title claim (and the determined native title rights held) are then entered on the National Native Title Register ( NNTR ).
-
(b) If a claim for native title is entered on the RNTC, or a determined claim is entered on the NNTR, the Native Title Act provides the claimants / holders with certain rights, including procedural rights where a 'future act' is proposed. An example of a 'future act' is the grant of a mining tenement.
7.4 Validation of acts (ie grant of a mining tenement)
The Native Title Act sets out when 'acts' will be 'valid' in the event they affect (ie are inconsistent with) native title, however, this process need only apply where native title exists (a determined native title claim entered on the NNTR) or is claimed to exist (a native title claim entered on the RNTC). The 'acts' can be a proposed activity or development on land and waters. A common example in Western Australia is the proposed grants of mining tenements by the Department.
7.5 'Past Acts' (ie grants of mining tenements): Prior to 1 January 1994
The Native Title Act permits, and all States and Territories of Australia have passed, legislation validating certain 'acts' which were done before 1 January 1994. In Western Australia, that legislation is the Titles (Validation) and Native Title (Effect of Past Acts) Act 1995 (WA). It provides that all 'acts' (eg grants of mining tenements) prior to 1 January 1994 are valid to the extent they affect native title.
7.6 'Future Acts' (ie proposed grants of mining tenements): After 1 January 1994
-
(a) Generally, a 'future act' is an 'act' (eg grant of mining tenement) occurring after 1 January 1994 which affects native title.
-
(b) The Native Title Act sets out the circumstances in which, and procedures by which, 'future acts' will be valid should that 'act' affect native title.
-
(c) Such circumstances include if the 'act' was done in certain circumstances between 1 January 1994 and 23 December 1996 (called 'Intermediate Period Acts'), or if the 'act' is permitted by an Indigenous Land Use Agreement ( ILUA ), or if certain procedures are to be followed where a claim for native title is entered on the RNTC, or a determined claim is entered on the NNTR. Such procedures include the 'Right to Negotiate Procedure' and the 'Expedited Procedure'.
Page 15
Doc ID 804338393/v8
7.7 Intermediate Period Acts Between 1 January 1994 and 23 December 1996
Similarly to Past Acts, the Native Title Act permits, and all States and Territories of Australia have passed, legislation validating certain Intermediate Period Acts (eg grants of mining tenements) done between 1 January 1994 and to 23 December 1996 over land or water where a freehold estate or lease (including a pastoral lease but not a mining lease) had been validly granted.
7.8 ILUA
An ILUA is an agreement which has been authorised by the native title claimant group and has been registered with the NNTT. An ILUA binds the parties to the ILUA and also all persons holding native title to the relevant area that may not be a party. If an ILUA provides that any particular mining tenement(s) may be granted, then the relevant mining tenement(s) may be granted as provided for by the ILUA, generally without following other procedures, including the Right to Negotiate Procedure or the Expedited Procedure.
7.9 Right to Negotiate Procedure
-
(a) General
-
(i) The Right to Negotiate Procedure commences with the relevant State or Territory giving notice of the proposed future act (ie proposed grant of a mining tenement) ( S29 Notice ).
-
(ii) Then any native title party whose details are registered on the RNTC or NNTR, the applicant for the mining tenement and the relevant State or Territory (collectively, the Negotiation Parties ) are required to negotiate in good faith with a view to the native title party agreeing to the proposed future act.
-
(b) Scope of negotiations
-
(i) The scope of the negotiations includes any matters relating to the effect of the grant of the future act on the claimed or determined native title rights and interest. The scope can include any matters about which the parties are willing to negotiate. Where the future act is the proposed grant of an exploration or prospecting licence, usually an agreement is reached which aims to protect Aboriginal heritage. This is because exploration licences confer only limited rights to the registered holder of the licence, conferring rights to conduct exploration and disturb the land for that purpose.
-
(ii) Where the future act is the proposed grant of a mining lease, the negotiations and resulting agreement are usually more complex, as the nature of rights granted for a mining lease contemplates substantial ground disturbance over a portion of the area granted. Such a right may be incompatible with the exercise of some or all native title rights and interest over that portion. It is usual for the resulting agreement to address employment and training, environmental rehabilitation, Aboriginal heritage protection, cultural
Page 16
Doc ID 804338393/v8
awareness and the payment of compensation to the native title party.
-
(c) What if negotiations break down?
-
(i) If the Negotiation Parties negotiate in good faith but cannot reach agreement as to the doing of the future act, then provided at least 6 months have elapsed since the S29 Notice, any party (in most cases the applicant for the mining tenement) may apply to the NNTT for a determination as to whether the future act may be done, and if so, on what conditions.
-
(ii) Accordingly, the doing of a future act (ie granting of the mining tenement) is dependent on the Negotiation Parties reaching agreement, or the NNTT making a determination that the future act may be done.
7.10
Expedited Procedure
-
(a) If the relevant State or Territory believes the future act will have minimal impact on native title rights, it may in the S29 Notice elect to use the Expedited Procedure. If the relevant State or Territory gives such notice, any native title party whose details are registered on the RNTC or NNTR may object to the use of the Expedited Procedure.
-
(b) If no objection is lodged, the mining tenement can be granted without delay. If an objection is lodged, the NNTT must determine the validity of the objection. If the objection is dismissed, the tenement can be granted without delay. If the objection is not dismissed, the Right to Negotiate Procedure outlined at paragraph 7.9 applies.
-
(c) Current Department policy is that it will process applications for exploration and prospecting licences through the Expedited Process of the Native Title Act only once the applicant for the mining tenement provides evidence by way of a statutory declaration/affidavit that a regional standard heritage agreement ( RSHA ) exists or has been signed by the proponent and sent to any affected registered Native Title Claimant ( NTC ) group (if any) or that an alternative heritage agreement exists between the NTC group and the explorer. If the explorer either refuses to enter into a RSHA or an alternative heritage agreement or fails to advise DMIRS that an agreement has been signed, the Department will process the exploration application under the Right to Negotiate Procedure.
-
(d) In Western Australia, the Right to Negotiate Procedure is generally always used for the processing of mining lease applications, as well as most general purpose lease applications.
7.11 Compensation
- (a) In certain circumstances holders of native title (a determined native title claim that is registered on the NNTR) may be entitled to apply under the Native Title Act to the Federal Court for compensation for any effect on their
Page 17
Doc ID 804338393/v8
native title. The Mining Act provides that holders of mining tenements are liable for such compensation where awarded by reason of their mining tenements having affected native title. Consequently, if it has been, or is in the future, determined that native title exists over any of the land the subject of a mining tenement (or granted future act) and the holders of the native title apply to the Federal Court for compensation, the holder of the tenement may be liable and directed to pay any compensation determined.
- (b) To date, few claims have been lodged with the Federal Court for compensation and up until the recent Federal Court decision of Griffiths v Northern Territory (No 3) [2016] FCA 900, whereby the Federal Court ordered the Northern Territory Government to pay over $3.3 million to the Ngaliwurru and Nungali Peoples, as compensation for the impact of certain acts on their native title rights and interests in the town of Timber Creek, there has been no award for compensation made by the Federal Court.
It is due to this potential risk that the applicant for a mining lease will agree to the inclusions of payment of compensation provisions during the negotiations that lead to the grant of the mining lease, as the applicant is able to agree the level of compensation payable.

The existence of any native title claims over the area covered by the Tenements, or a subsequent determination of native title over the area, will not impact the rights and interests of the holder under the Tenements provided they have been validly granted.
However, the grant of any future tenure over areas that are covered by a registered claim or a positive determination of native title will require engagement with the relevant claimants or native title holders (as relevant) in accordance with the Native Title Act.
In respect to ELA38/3509, ELA38/3519 and ELA38/3511, the Tenements are subject to one determined native title claim (Yilka and Yilka #2 and Sullivan Family) and one other applications for native title claims (in the case of ELA38/3509, Nangaanya-ku, in the case of ELA38/3519, Tjalkadjara and Nyalpa Pirniku, and in the case of ELA38/3511, Nyalpa Pirniku) which are yet to be determined. Caution should be exercised in relation to any heritage agreements entered into with the native title parties, so to ensure that dual compensation is not being paid to multiple native title groups (particularly for the claims which have not been determined). Pursuant to the Native Title Act, a native title determination cannot be made for an area over which there is already a registered native title determination. However, the Company should note that an application may be made to revoke the existing native title determination over the area, and that the application for native title claims is likely to continue over the already determined claim area in case the determined claim is subsequently revoked.
7.13 Indigenous Land Use Agreements
The Searches indicate that no Tenements are subject to ILUAs.
7.14 Validity of Tenements
The Tenements (excluding the Pending Tenements) were all granted after 23 December 1996, and were therefore granted subject to the Native Title Act. In any event, the Pending Tenements will also be subject to the Native Title Act upon grant.
Provided that the Tenements are validly granted in accordance with the Native Title Act, they will be valid as against native title rights and interests.
7.15 Native Title status of Pending Tenements
The table below summarises the current Native Title status and comments in relation to the Pending Tenements:

8. Aboriginal heritage
8.1 General
Aboriginal heritage is protected by both Commonwealth legislation as well as legislation in each State and Territory of Australia.
8.2 Commonwealth Legislation
The Commonwealth Heritage Act is aimed at the preservation and protection of any Aboriginal 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.
We have not undertaken any searches in respect of the Commonwealth Heritage Act for the purposes of this Report.
8.3 Western Australian legislation
The provisions of the WA Heritage Act are endorsed on all tenements in Western Australia.
The WA Heritage Act protects all Aboriginal sites in Western Australia which meet the criteria in section 5 of the WA Heritage Act.
It is an offence under the WA Heritage Act to excavate, destroy, damage, conceal or in any way alter an Aboriginal site or any object on or under an Aboriginal site, unless the person or company is acting with the authority of the registrar or the consent of the relevant Minister. The offence applies regardless of whether the Aboriginal site has been entered on the Register of Aboriginal sites. It is a defence if the person (or company) charged can prove that he did not know and could not reasonably be expected to have known, that the place or object was protected by the WA Heritage Act.
A holder of a Western Australian mining tenement has the legislative right to submit an application under the WA Heritage Act seeking approval to disturb or destroy an Aboriginal site.
8.4 Proposed Aboriginal Heritage Bill
On 2 September 2020, the WA State Government released the draft Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Bill 2020 ( ACH Bill ) which is intended to replace the current WA
Page 23
Doc ID 804338393/v8
Heritage Act. The ACH Bill proposes that proponents of resources projects will (depending on the type of activity to be carried out on the tenements) need to apply for an Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Permit or obtain approval of an Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Management Plan.
The ACH Bill also establishes an Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Council, with broader functions, intended to replace the current Aboriginal Cultural Material Committee, introduces a 'tiered' approvals system and a 'continuous disclosure' obligation, gives broad ministerial powers to issue orders to stop activities, prohibit activities or enforce remediation, and imposes harsher penalties for carrying out activities which harm Aboriginal cultural heritage, failing to report on Aboriginal cultural heritage or non-compliance.
Public consultation on the ACH Bill closed on 9 October 2020 and around 157 submissions were received in relation to the ACH Bill, the vast majority of which did not support the ACH Bill. The WA State Government has not yet indicated a date on which the ACH Bill will be passed into law.
8.5 Aboriginal sites and other heritage places on the Tenements
The AHIS Searches of the Tenements identified four Aboriginal sites located on Pending Tenements ELA38/3511, ELA38/3462 and ELA 38/3466, as set out in the below table.
| Registered Aboriginal Sites | Registered Aboriginal Sites | Registered Aboriginal Sites | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|

The other Aboriginal heritage places summarised above have been lodged but not registered. As of the date of this Report, it has not been assessed whether these places meet the criteria to be registered as an Aboriginal site or heritage place.
The AHIS search results summarised above do not mean that there are no other Aboriginal sites or Aboriginal heritage places within the area of the Tenements. It is only an indication that no other Aboriginal sites or Aboriginal heritage places have been registered in the area to date.
8.6 Aboriginal heritage agreements affecting the Tenements
As discussed above at paragraph 7.10, Department policy provides that applications for exploration licences will generally not be processed for grant through the Expedited Procedure unless the applicant for the licence provides evidence that an appropriate Aboriginal heritage agreement has been entered into with any affected registered NTC (if any).
Page 25
Doc ID 804338393/v8
Aboriginal heritage agreements will generally include a process of engagement between the parties to protect Aboriginal heritage. This process includes the undertaking of heritage surveys to identify Aboriginal site. A procedure is usually included for the parties to consider the proposed works on the tenements, and decide on the best course of action given any potential impacts the proposed works may have on Aboriginal sites.
We have been instructed that the Company is not aware of any regional standard heritage agreements (or other heritage agreements) that relate to or have been entered in to in respect to the Tenements:
The entry into Aboriginal heritage agreements is not a requirement of the WA Heritage Act but is an industry standard means of managing the risk of contravention of the WA Heritage Act where there is a NTC or other claim group with a recognised connection to the relevant land.
9. Land access
9.1
Pastoral Leases
The Tengraph Searches indicate that all of the Tenements either wholly or partially overlap the following pastoral leases:
| Tenement | Pastoral Lease Name |
Lease number |

The Mining Act:
-
(a) generally 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
-
(c) provides that a holder of a mining tenement must pay compensation to an occupier of Crown land (i.e. the pastoral lease holder) 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 lessee as a result of, or arising from, any exploration or mining activities.
Compensation payable to a pastoral lease holder can be, and usually is, determined by agreement with the pastoral lease holder or by the Warden’s Court if no agreement can be reached.
We have been instructed that the Company is not aware of any agreements which are in place with the affected pastoral lease holders.
Upon commencing mining operations on any of the Tenements, the Company should consider entering into a compensation and access agreement with the pastoral lease holders to ensure the requirements of the Mining Act are satisfied and to avoid any disputes arising. In the absence of agreement, the Warden’s Court determines compensation payable.

The Department imposes standard conditions on mining tenements that overlap pastoral leases. Refer to Schedule 1 for details of the conditions that apply to the Tenements
9.2 Overlapping mining tenure
Due to the number of Tenements, we have reduced the scope of overlapping tenure to those Tenements with significant encroachments only (of 15% or more), as detailed in the below table. The Tenements overlap with the following mining tenure:

-
(a) A miscellaneous licence may be granted for one or more prescribed purposes that are directly connected with mining operations and may be granted over any existing tenements, whether held by the applicant or another person. Where this occurs, the miscellaneous licence and the mining tenement will coexist on the land and generally, a condition will be imposed on the existing tenement preserving the right of access and no interference with the purpose or installations on the miscellaneous licences.
-
(b) ELA25/597 overlaps four granted mining leases (M25/71, M25/125, M25/133 and M25/236), three granted miscellaneous licences (L25/22, L25/27 and L25/41) and two applications for exploration licences which were both lodged before ELA25/597 (ELA25/572 and ELA25/589). These mining leases encroach just over 58% of the current application area of ELA25/597. The extent of the mining lease encroachments will be excised from ELA25/597 from grant, therefore reducing the area of ELA25/597 to under 42% of the current application area. Upon grant of ELA25/572 and
Page 29
Doc ID 804338393/v8
ELA25/589, the portion of ELA25/597 that overlaps ELA25/572 and ELA25/589 will be excised from ELA25/597 (92.31% and 23.08% respectively);
- (c) ELA25/603 overlaps one granted mining lease (M25/347), three granted miscellaneous licences (L25/29, L25/41 and L25/47), one application for a miscellaneous licence (L25/63), one granted prospecting licence (P25/2451), one application for a prospecting licence (PLA25/2569), and five applications for exploration licences (ELA25/586 (first in time application), ELA25/604, ELA25/605 and ELA25/606). The extent of the granted mining lease and granted prospecting licence will be excised from ELA25/603 from grant, reducing the area of ELA25/603 by 0.39%. One exploration licence (ELA25/586) were lodged before the application for ELA25/603. Upon the grant of ELA25/586, the portion of ELA25/603 that overlaps ELA25/586 (66.67%), will be excised from ELA25/603;
9.3 Objections
Pending Tenements ELA25/603, ELA38/3507, ELA38/3509, ELA39/2218 and ELA39/2219 are subject to Mining Act Objections. The current status of the Objections is summarised in the below table:
| Pending Tenements |
Objection | Status / proposed resolution |
|---|---|---|
| ELA25/603 | Objection 591457 by Monger Exploration Pty Ltd |
The Objection relates to an application for Miscellaneous Licence L25/63 which is for the proposed Mulga Haul Road and traverses ELA25/603. Negotiations with Monger Exploration Pty Ltd have not been commenced as Accelerate continues to hold application for ELA25/586 which is a priority application over part of ELA25/603. Under the Accelerate Agreement, Accelerate will withdraw the application for ELA25/586 at settlement and the Company will then commence negotiations with Monger Exploration Pty Ltd for an access agreement in relation to ELA25/603. We are instructed that the Company believes the access agreement will be negotiated on standard terms. |
| Objection 592181 by Silver Lake (Integra) Pty Limited |
The Objection relates to miscellaneous licence L25/29 which is in place due for a haul road that traverses part of ELA25/603. As above, Accelerate holds the application for ELA25/586 (which is a |

| priority application over part of ELA 25/603 and will be withdrawn at settlement under the Accelerate Agreement). Accelerate have commenced negotiations with Silver Lake (Integra) Pty Limited for an access agreement. Negotiations have been suspended pending the completion of the Accelerate Agreement, following which we are instructed that the Company will negotiate the proposed agreement with Silver Lake (Integra) Pty Limited. |
||
| Objection 592186 by Silver Lake Resources Limited |
The Objection relates to miscellaneous licence L25/47 which is in place due to a haul road that traverses part of ELA 25/603 . As above, negotiations have commenced with Accelerate for an access agreement to be put in place. The negotiations will continue between the Company and Silver Lake Resources Limited in respect to ELA25/603 once Accelerate withdraws its first in time application for ELA25/586. |
|
| ELA38/3507 | Objection 582325 by Gruyere Management Pty Ltd |
The Objection relates to miscellaneous licence L38/252 which is in place for the purpose of pipeline, power line and road. We are instructed that the Company is aware that Gruyere Management Pty Ltd has negotiated access agreements with other exploration licence holders in the area. We are instructed that the Company believes that an access agreement will be negotiated on commercial terms. |
| ELA38/3509 | Objection 584047 by Dennis Forrest on behalf of the Nangaanya-Ku Native Title Claim Group (WAD460/2018) |
This Objection has been put in place by the Nangaanya-Ku Native Title claim group, that wish to negotiate an access agreement for exploration activities. The Company has advised that it is aware the claimant group has successfully negotiated access agreements with other exploration |

Objection | Status / proposed resolution |
|---|---|---|
| companies in the area. We are instructed that the Company believes that it will be able to reach a commercial arrangement with the claimant group. |
||
| ELA39/2218 | Objection 591955 by Dennis Forrest on behalf of the Nangaanya-Ku Native Title Claim Group (WAD460/2018) |
This Objection has been put in place by the Nangaanya-Ku Native Title claim group, that wish to negotiate an access agreement for exploration activities. We are instructed that the Company is aware the claimant group has successfully negotiated access agreements with other exploration companies in the area and that the Company believes that it will be able to reach a commercial arrangementwiththe claimant group. |
| ELA39/2219 | Objection 593180 by Dennis Forrest on behalf of the Nangaanya-Ku Native Title Claim Group (WAD460/2018) |
This Objection has been put in place by the Nangaanya-Ku Native Title claim group, that wish to negotiate an access agreement for exploration activities. We are instructed that the Company has advised that it is aware the claimant group has successfully negotiated access agreements with other exploration companies in the area and that it will be able to reach a commercial arrangement with the claimant group. |
If the parties cannot reach an agreement for the withdrawal of the Objections, then the matters may progress to a hearing before the Warden where the Warden will determine the Objections and make a recommendation to the Minister for grant or refusal of the applications. In these circumstances, the grant of ELA25/603, ELA38/3507, ELA38/3509, ELA39/2218 and ELA39/2219 will be delayed, or the grant of the tenements may be refused. However, the Company is of the view that these 5 Pending Tenements (if not granted) will not have a material impact on its planned exploration program. Following the withdrawal of the Objections, ELA25/603, ELA38/3507, ELA38/3509, ELA39/2218 and ELA39/2219 will be subject to a four month native title advertising period. The Company will need to take assignment of any prior access agreements that exist in relation to the overlapping mining tenure and will be then bound by the terms of those agreements.
9.4 'C' class reserves and state forest
Tenements ELA25/597, ELA38/3506, ELA38/3509, ELA38/3519, ELA38/3511 and ELA38/3466 encroach 'C' Class Reserves. The existence of a reserve may require additional approvals or plans to be implemented by the Company in order to
Page 32
Doc ID 804338393/v8
progress the grant of the Tenement. Upon grant, the existence of the reserve may impact the Company's ability to carry out exploration or mining activities within the affected areas and it is possible that tenement conditions may be imposed on ELA25/597, ELA38/3506, ELA38/3509, ELA38/3519, ELA38/3511 and ELA38/3466 requiring the consent of the Minister before commencing any exploration activities on the area of ELA25/597, ELA38/3506, ELA38/3509, ELA38/3519, ELA38/3511 and ELA38/3466 subject to the reserve.
ELA25/597 overlaps the proposed State Forest Randell. Upon grant of ELA25/597, it is likely the Tenement will be subject to a condition requiring the prior written consent of the Minister before commencing any exploration activities on the proposed State Forest Randell.
The Pending Tenements overlap with the following reserves and forest:
| Tenement | Reserve/Forest | Encroachment |

9.5 Petroleum interests
Our Searches indicate that the land the subject of ELA38/507, ELA 38/3462, ELA39/2218 and ELA39/2219 overlap petroleum pipeline licences, as shown in the below table.
| ID | Title type | Holder | Tenement and encroachment (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| PL 114 | PPA69 Pipeline Licence |
APA Operations Pty Limited |
ELA38/507 (1.18%) ELA38/3462 (1.75%) |
| PL 108 | PPA69 Pipeline Licence |
APA Operations Pty Limited |
ELA38/2218 (0.03%) ELA39/2219 (0.01%) |
For the purposes of this Report, we have not conducted further searches in respect to the petroleum pipeline licences. The Company may consider seeking an access agreement (or similar) with APA Operations Pty Limited in relation to the interaction of rights in the encroachment area to effectively manage the access and interests of both parties, although, this is not a legislative requirement.
9.6 Biosecurity and regional travel restrictions applicable in WA
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, certain directions and determinations were issued which restrict the travel of persons within regions of Western Australia. These restrictions have since been revoked, however, restrictions are still in place on entry to certain remote Aboriginal communities to protect the health and wellbeing of residents.
Any additional restrictions and directions which may be issued in response to COVID-19 may impact on the ability of the Company to access its tenure.

MT MONGER RESOURCES LIMITED INDEPENDENT GEOLOGIST’S REPORT
==> picture [112 x 63] intentionally omitted <==
1.0 INTRODUCTION
FRM Geological Services (FRM) was engaged by Mt Monger Resources Limited (Mt Monger or the Company) to provide an Independent Geologist’s Report (IGR or the Report) on the Mt Monger Gold Project and the East Laverton Gold Project (the Projects).
FRM understands that this Report is intended to be included in a prospectus (Prospectus) to be lodged by Mt Monger with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) in support of an initial public offer (IPO) of 25,000,000 shares at A$0.20 per share, to raise a total of up to A$5 million (before costs associated with the issue) to facilitate a listing on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). The funds raised will be used for the purpose of the exploration and evaluation of Mt Monger’s Projects and for working capital purposes.
This IGR has been prepared in accordance with the rules and guidelines issued by such bodies as the ASIC and the ASX. Where exploration results, mineral resources or ore reserves have been referred to in this IGR, the classifications are consistent with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC Code), prepared by the Joint Ore Reserves Committee of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, the Australian Institute of Geoscientists and the Minerals Council of Australia, effective December 2012; as well as the Code for the Technical Assessment and Valuation of Mineral and Petroleum Assets and Securities for Independent Expert Reports, 2015 Edition (The VALMIN Code).
The Competent Person for preparation of the report is Ms Felicity Repacholi-Muir; BSc (Geol & Soil Sc), GradCertAppFin. Ms Repacholi-Muir is a Member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists (MAIG #3417) with over 15 years of experience and has extensive professional experience with the geology of and has worked extensively in Western Australia. Ms Repacholi-Muir 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 by the 2012 JORC Code as incorporated in the ASX Listing Rules.
This Report has been prepared by FRM strictly in the role of an independent expert. FRM does not, or have previously had, any material interest in Mt Monger or the mineral properties in which Mt Monger is acquiring an interest. FRM’s relationship with Mt Monger is solely one of professional association between client and independent consultant. This report is prepared in return for professional fees based on agreed commercial rates and the payment of these fees is in no way contingent on the results of this report. Payment of fees is in no way contingent upon the conclusions of this Report.
Mt Monger has agreed to indemnify FRM for any liability arising as a result of or in connection with the information provided by or on behalf of Mt Monger being incomplete, incorrect or misleading in any material respect. Mt Monger has confirmed in writing to FRM that, to its knowledge, the information provided by it (when provided) was complete and not incorrect or misleading in any material respect. FRM has no reason to believe that any material facts have been withheld and Mt Monger has confirmed in writing to FRM that it believes it has provided all material information available to it.
In preparing this report, FRM was reliant on relevant data collated and provided by Mt Monger as well as publicly available information regarding geology and previous exploration. The principal source of information regarding Mt Monger’s assets were statutory reports prepared by previous tenement holders and their consultants and submitted to the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DMIRS) of Western Australia. FRM does not doubt the authenticity or substance of previous investigating reports. FRM has not however, carried out a complete audit of the information but has relied on previous reporting and documentation where applicable and has used this for research

purposes with qualifications applied, where necessary. A draft of this Report was provided to Mt Monger to identify and address any factual errors or omissions prior to finalisation of the report.
The current ownership and legal standing of Mt Monger’s Projects is subject to a separate Solicitor’s Report which is set out in the Prospectus and these matters have not been independently verified by FRM. The present status of tenements listed in this Report is based on information provided by Mt Monger and the Report has been prepared on the assumption that the tenements will prove lawfully accessible for evaluation and development.
The author of this report is not qualified to provide extensive commentary on the legal aspects of the mineral properties or the compliance with the Western Australian Mining Acts. FRM has interrogated the websites of the DMIRS to confirm the validity of the tenements and aspects relating to the compliance with the various Government Acts and Regulations. This search has confirmed that the tenements are reported as being in good standing and that all tenement matters including annual reports and rents. As FRM is not an expert in the Mining Acts, no warranty or guarantee, be it express or implied, is made by the authors with respect to the completeness or accuracy of the legal aspects regarding the security of the tenure.
The Projects do not contain any Ore Reserves or Mineral Resources, as defined by the JORC Code. Under the definition provided by the ASX and in the VALMIN Code, the Mt Monger Gold Project and the East Laverton Gold Project are classified as ‘exploration projects’, which are inherently speculative in nature. Mt Monger’s Projects are considered to be sufficiently prospective, subject to varying degrees of risk, to warrant further exploration and development of their economic potential, consistent with the programs proposed by Mt Monger.
FRM is of the opinion that Mt Monger has satisfactory and clearly defined exploration and expenditure programs which are reasonable having regard to the stated objectives of the Company. Mt Monger’s exploration programs are included in the report, they may be altered in view of results gained which could revise the emphasis of current priorities. Mt Monger’s Projects are considered to be sufficiently prospective, subject to varying degrees of risk, to warrant further exploration and development of their economic potential, consistent with the programs proposed by Mt Monger.
This report has an Effective Date of the 17[th] May 2021, this being the most recent date on which Mt Monger made material in its possession available to FRM and FRM is unaware of any material change since this date. FRM consents to the distribution of this Report in the form and content in which it appears.

The Mt Monger region has proven potential for hosting gold, with gold mining commencing in the area during the late 1890s and continuing to the present day. The Mt Monger Gold Project is within close proximity to Gold Fields Limited’s (JSE: GFI) St Ives gold camp which contains the Invincible Gold Mine located in Lake Lefroy and immediately south of Silver Lake Resources Ltd's (ASX: SLR) Daisy Milano gold operation and their currently operating 1.2Mtpa Randalls gold processing facility. Lefroy Exploration Limited (ASX: LEX, Lefroy) has experienced recent success at their Burns Prospect, located to the south of the Mt Monger Gold Project. The Burns gold and copper prospect is situated on the eastern margin of a large interpreted felsic intrusion, recent drilling returned encouraging gold and copper results.
Early exploration within the project area focused on nickel sulphide mineralisation with the focus shifting to gold exploration during the 1980s. Exploration to date has outlined a number of advanced gold prospects; including the Duchess of York, Hickman’s Find and Kiaki Soaks prospects. Drilling at the Duchess of York Prospect has outlined significant mineralisation; including 20m @ 2.88g/t Au with the mineralisation extending to a vertical depth of at least 100m; 6m @ 3.9g/t Au from 118m including 1m @ 15g/t Au from 123m in YDC136.
Drilling outside the more advanced prospect areas has been mainly limited to shallow Rotary Air Blast (RAB) and aircore drilling (<60m depth) in the immediate vicinity of and along strike from known mineralised structures, with only intermittent relatively deep Reverse Circulation (RC) percussion drilling completed to assess the depth potential to the shallow supergene gold mineralisation.
Exploration within the Mt Monger Gold Project will be focused on targeting extensions to existing welldefined mineralised structures, and subsequently applying the understanding from known structures to regional targets. Drilling will be prioritised at the Duchess of York Prospect to evaluate the economic potential of the prospect and to update the geological model.
The East Laverton Gold Project is centred 70km south-east of the townsite of Laverton and is comprised of a single granted Exploration Licence and ten pending Exploration Licences. The project licences cover an area of 2,796km[2] .
The East Laverton Gold Project is located within the poorly understood Burtville Terrane on the eastern edge of the Eastern Goldfields Superterrane. The project area contains limited outcrop, with the bedrock geology predominantly concealed by transported cover. Due to the area’s extensive sedimentary cover, there has been little geological work in the area either by exploration companies or government geological surveys, hampering the geological understanding of the area.
Earliest exploration within the region focused on the presence of kimberlite and uranium mineralisation within paleochannels, with only a limited number of drillholes targeting the underlying greenstone terrain for gold mineralisation.
Exploration targeting kimberlite pipes at the Seahorse Prospect encountered gneissic rocks similar to those from the Tropicana Gold Mine (AngloGold Ashanti Ltd and Independence Group NL Joint Venture). The most popular model for Tropicana is that of reworked Archean gold, reported to be hosted by Archaean garnetiferous gneiss and quartzofeldpathic gneiss. The presence of the favourable gneissic rocks at the Seahorse Prospect was recognised at a later date and gold and pathfinder element analysis were completed, with encouraging gold and base metal results returned.
The eastern portion of the project is enhanced by a favourable structural setting, the presence of known anomalous soils and a proximity to known mineralisation. The Dexter Shear trends through the area; soil geochemistry will be evaluated, lines of aircore will be completed across anomalous zones, followed by RC drilling if encouragement is found to define gold mineralisation. Previous work has outlined the Sandshoes and Dexter West Prospects within this area which require further evaluation and exploration.

Recent discoveries by Gold Road Resources Ltd (ASX:GOR, Gold Road) in the Yamarna Belt located about 80km east of the project, where a similar sand covered setting exists, illustrates important concepts which will be emulated by Mt Monger. At Yamarna coincident multi-element pathfinders and gold geochemistry are helping to defining intrusion-related gold resources associated with north-south trending fault zones clearly defined in detailed aeromagnetic data.
The successes and explorations strategies and successes within the Yamarna Belt and the Tropicana discovery will guide Mt Monger’s exploration model for the project.
Exploration Budget
Mt Monger have provided to FRM their proposed exploration expenditure for the two-year period following the capital raising with $2,927,000 of direct exploration expenditure which is detailed in Table 2. This is the primary use of funds in the proposed capital raising.
Mt Monger is intending to focus their expenditure on expenditure on geochemical surveys, drilling and geophysical surveys. FRM is satisfied that this is a prudent approach to the use of funds for exploration. FRM has reviewed Mt Monger’s proposed exploration activities and is of the opinion that the funds raised will be sufficient for the proposed program, in line with the current costs of exploration and that the programs are appropriate for the mineral potential and status of the projects.

4.0 MT MONGER GOLD PROJECT
4.1 LOCATION & ACCESS
The Mt Monger Gold Project is located in the Mt Monger region of Western Australia, approximately 45km east-northeast of Kambalda and 70km to the southeast of Kalgoorlie-Boulder (Figure 2). The Project is located within the East Coolgardie Mineral Field and lies on the Widgiemooltha (SH51-14) 1:250,000 map sheet and the Lake Lefroy (3235) and Mount Belches (3335) 1:100,000 map sheets.
Access to the area is from the regional population centre of Kalgoorlie-Boulder and then via the allweather Mt Monger Road. Well maintained station tracks, fence lines and historic mining tracks provide additional access to the project area.

Figure 2: Mt Monger Gold Project Tenure and Location
The physiography of the general area is characterised by low and gently rolling hills of weathered colluvial material with minor outcrop and lateritised profiles. Intervening areas of flat, open terrain are characterised by sheetwash deposits. Alluvial channels cut across these features, with ephemeral water courses draining to the Lake Randall and Lake Lefroy salt lakes in the south. Vegetation is sparse to moderate scrubby bushland over alluvial flats, with some salmon gum forest preserved over the gently rolling hills with more rock and lateritic exposures.
The Mt Monger area experiences a semi-arid to desert climate with hot summers and mild winters. During January, the mean maximum temperature is 33.8°C with, on average, more than 10 days over 40°C. The coldest period is during July where the average maximum is 16.7°C and mean low is 5.9°C. It is rare for the minimum to fall below zero. Most of the rainfall, which averages 240.7mm per year, occurs in the March to August period with an average of approximately three days of rain per month (information sourced from the Bureau of Meteorology for the Kalgoorlie Post Office weather station).
Rainfall during the summer period is dominated by scattered thunderstorms with occasional tropical rain bearing depressions (ex-tropical cyclones) that commonly impact the Pilbara region of Western Australia with these systems often effecting the Eastern Goldfields region several days after crossing the Pilbara coast. The bulk of the winter rainfall occurs as cold frontal associated rain which impacts the southern half of Western Australia. In FRM’s opinion and based on experience working in the area, the

climatic conditions do not have a significant impact on the ability to undertake exploration throughout the year.
4.2 GEOLOGY AND MINERALISATION
Regional Setting
The Eastern Goldfields Superterrane is a 600 km long by 200 km wide semi-continuous belt of Archean age rocks in the east of the Yilgarn Craton which extends from Norseman in the south to Wiluna in the north (Figure 3). The Archean granite-greenstone terrain comprises elongated greenstone belts of deformed and metamorphosed volcano-sedimentary rocks interleaved with ultramafic and mafic rocks and extensive areas of granitoid and gneiss.
The Eastern Goldfields Superterrane contains at least three tectonostratigraphic terranes, defined on the basis of distinct volcanic facies, geochemistry, and age of volcanism that ranges from older than 2.81 to 2.66 Ga. From southwest to northeast these terranes are the Kalgoorlie, Kurnalpi and Burtville Terranes. Each terrane is divided into structurally bound domains that preserve dismembered, thrustrepeated parts of the succession and locally have distinct volcanic facies (Swager, 1997; Cassidy et al., 2006).

Figure 3: Eastern Goldfields Superterrane (from Cassidy et al, 2006)
The Mt Monger Gold Project is located within the southern part of the Kurnalpi Terrane, in the Eastern Goldfields Superterrane on the eastern part of the Archean Yilgarn Craton. The Kurnalpi Terrane includes

MT MONGER RESOURCES LIMITED INDEPENDENT GEOLOGIST’S REPORT
==> picture [112 x 63] intentionally omitted <==
c. 2.72-2.70 Ga mafic volcanic rocks, calc-alkaline complexes, feldspathic sedimentary rocks, mafic intrusive rocks, and c. 2.69-2.68 Ga bimodal rhyolite-basalt and felsic calc-alkaline complexes that extend along a linear belt at the western edge of the terrane.
The southern Kurnalpi Terrane is divided into the Gindalbie and Bulong Domains (Cassidy et al., 2006) with the Bulong Domain essentially representing a complex terrane boundary being made up of units from both the Kurnalpi and adjacent Kalgoorlie Terranes that have been tectonically interleaved (Krapez et al., 2008). Rock types consist of a bimodal volcano-sedimentary sequence of mafic to ultramafic lavas and volcaniclastic units overlain by a sequence of felsic volcanic, sedimentary units and banded iron formations. The geological sequence has undergone greenschist to lower amphibolite facies metamorphism, polyphase deformation, shearing and faulting and has been intruded by dolerites, quartz-feldspar porphyries and post-tectonic granitoids. The Gindalbie and Bulong domains lie east of the Ockerburry Fault System and extend east to a boundary comprising the Emu Fault and Penny Dam conglomerate to the east and the Randall Fault to the southeast.
The Bulong Domain has a complex faulted boundary with the Gindalbie Domain to the north. The greenstone package comprises successions thought to have been separated by regional, early (D1), low angle thrust faults. These structures, which must have been folded and displaced by subsequent deformation, are poorly understood. A series of north- and northwest-trending faults cut the folded Bulong Anticline.
Project Geology
The Mt Monger Gold Project straddles the boundary between the upright, regional, folded maficultramafic rocks of the Bulong Anticline (also known as the Yindarlgooda Dome) to the west and the Mount Belches Formation, a sequence of sedimentary rocks including highly magnetic banded iron formations (BIF) to the east (Hickman, 1986; Ahmat, 1995; Swager, 1994, 1997). The Mount Belches Formation and the Bulong Anticline are separated by the major north-south trending Randall Shear Zone which is locally referred to as the Bare Hill Shear Zone (refer Figure 4).
The Bulong Anticline plunges to the south-southwest in the project area and comprises a felsic to intermediate volcanic sequence in the core of the anticline, overlain by a mafic volcanic sequence that becomes thinner and changes in composition (high-Mg to tholeiitic) from south to north. The area is characterised by a northwest-trending structures with several prominent regional fault systems.
The top of the felsic sequence is marked by clastic rocks with thin grey to black shales and/or grey-white banded cherts at the contact with the overlying mafic sequence. These cherts and silicified shales form good marker units that can be traced around much of the Bulong Anticline. The mafic sequence consists of high-Mg basalt characterised by pyroxene-spinifex textures on various scales and several mafic-ultramafic intrusions (Hickman, 1986).
On the western side of the Bulong Anticline, Ahmat (1995) describes the presence of komatiite units that constitute at least part of the ultramafic Bulong Complex. In general, the mafic sequence when traced from the southern limb of the anticline at Mount Monger eastwards and northwards becomes thinner until it dies out northeast of Rocky Dam on the north-eastern limb and contains progressively fewer ultramafic rocks.

MT MONGER RESOURCES LIMITED INDEPENDENT GEOLOGIST’S REPORT
==> picture [112 x 63] intentionally omitted <==
The Randall Shear Zone (or Bare Hill Shear Zone) is a major regional domain-bounding structure (Hickman, 1986; Swager, 1994); separating the mafic sequence with the highly foliated and folded metasedimentary rocks of the Mount Belches sequence to the east.
The banded iron-formation layers within the Mount Belches sequence outline a regional-scale fold pattern that intensifies from open northwest-trending fold to isoclinal, attenuated north-trending folds towards the Randall Shear. The Randall Shear is not exposed in the north-eastern part of the Bulong Anticline and may lie beneath syntectonic coarse clastic rocks of the Penny Dam conglomerate.
The package of greywacke rocks of the Mount Belches sequence has many characteristics of a turbidite sequence and has no clear equivalent within other domains of the Kurnalpi Terrane. The banded iron formation layers represent periods of diminished or no supply of clastic material into a relatively deep basin. The Mount Belches Formation is intruded by late monzogranite intrusions.
Extensive but relatively thin Cenozoic laterite, colluvial sheet-wash or yellow sand plains conceals much of the Archaean geology in this area.

Mineralisation
Primary gold mineralisation in the Bulong Anticline is structurally controlled and located at sites of rheological and chemical variability. Hickman (1986) described the gold mineralisation as occurring in quartz veins and narrow shear zones that are oriented parallel to the southeast striking axial plane of the fold. Gold deposits in the area are situated on tensional splays trending north-northwest off the sheared contact between felsic and ultramafic rocks. Other mineralisation is located on 340° to 350°

trending shears (parallel to the axial plane of the Bulong Anticline), or on the contact between felsic intrusives and country rocks. Cross-cutting structures which appear to enhance mineralisation direction. For example, north-northwest trending reverse oblique faults, northeast and east trending dextral faults; north or north-northeast trending sinistral shears.
In the southern and south-eastern parts of the Bulong Anticline, the Hickman’s Find and Duchess of York prospects are located at the faulted contact of the felsic volcanic sequence with the overlying, but younger mafic volcanic and intrusive rock sequence.
Economic mineralisation in the Mount Belches Beds is primarily restricted to the BIF units. Gold is hosted by magnetite-grunerite rich BIF, often proximal to shallowly south westerly-dipping quartz veins, where sulphur bearing hydrothermal fluids are interpreted to de-sulphidate in the brittle, more permeable BIF units.
4.3 EXPLORATION HISTORY
Gold mining in the Mt Monger area commenced in the late 1890s and continues to the present day. Exploration campaigns with the Mt Monger Gold Project have generally focused on either the western portion of the Project (dominated by the Bulong Anticline) or the eastern portion of the Project (Mount Belches Formation). For ease of outlining the exploration history of the project has been divided into these two general areas.
Exploration completed to date is summarised below. Figure 5 shows all drill collars, significant drill intersections and recent geochemical samples. Significant drill intersections for all drilling is tabulated in Annexure A of this Report.

Early exploration within the western portion of the Mt Monger Gold Project focused on nickel sulphide mineralisation within the north-south trending gabbro complex north of the Majestic Mine. Gold explorers concentrated on the area surrounding the Mt Monger Mining Centre to the west. Limited exploration has been completed within the project area itself.
A large amount of nickel exploration has been carried out over the general Mt Monger area since the mid-1960s. During the period from 1966 to 1973, Broken Hill Proprietary Co Ltd (BHP) explored the area as part of a regional exploration study to the south and east of Kalgoorlie for nickel-copper sulphides in Archaean ultramafic rocks. They reported some uneconomic mineralisation in the Mt Monger area from their exploration programs.
Emphasis shifted from base metal to gold exploration during the 1980s. From 1987 to 1990, BHP explored for gold in an area located approximately 5km north of the Duchess of York Prospect. The BHP area comprised of ultramafic, mafic, felsic and intermediate igneous rocks and chemical sediments over which there was extensive soil cover. Hand augering failed to penetrate the alluvium, but a minor anomaly was defined, near abandoned prospecting pits.
Between 1979 and 1991, Western Mining Corporation Ltd (WMC) explored a very large area around the Yindarlgooda Dome, initially for copper-zinc mineralisation, but later switched to gold focused exploration.
During this time, a regional study of the Mount Monger area by the Geological Survey of Western Australia led to the discovery of the Hickman’s Find Prospect. This discovery led to WMC defining the Hickman’s Find and Duchess of York area as one of a number of target areas from geophysical and geochemical exploration programs.
During 1985 and 1986, exploration concentrated on this area with drilling completed over geochemical targets. At the Hickman’s Find Prospect, WMC completed eleven (11) holes for a total of 735m during 1986 (YDC1-11) and fourteen (14) holes for a total of 872m during 1988 (YDC87-100). Drilling was completed on five (5) lines with a line spacing of 40m. At the Duchess of York Prospect, WMC completed twenty-one (21) holes for a total of 1,260m during 1986 (YDC12-15, 16-32) and twenty-nine (29) holes for a total of 1,740m during 1988 (YDC101-129). Drilling was completed on nine (9) lines with a line spacing of between 30m and 50m. WAMEX Reports A016203, A018898, A021791, A033929
Black Mountain Gold NL (Black Mountain) explored the area between 1989 to 1990. Black Mountain had a Joint Venture (JV) over the Duchess of York tenement with Goult Pro Partners Pty Ltd (Goult Pro), with the intention to use resources from the Duchess of York as a comminution agent in Goult Pro’s tailing processing plant at Lakewood, 40km northeast of Mount Monger. As a result of the closing down of Mistral Mines NL (the potential buyer of the Duchess of York ore) operations at Mount Monger, the JV was terminated and the area relinquished. WAMEX Reports A033961
Hampton Hill Mining NL (Hampton Hill) acquired the Duchess of York and Hickman’s Find Projects for the purposes of an Initial Public Offering during 1994. Hampton Hill initially focused on data acquisition and compilation. Hampton Hill contracted Mackay and Schnellmann Pty Ltd to calculate resources at the two prospects from the WMC drill hole data.
Hampton Hill completed RAB drilling circa the Duchess of York and Hickman’s Find Prospects during 1994. A total of seventy-nine (79) holes for 717.5m. Better results were associated with fuchsitic black shale. During 1995, Hampton Hill conducted RC drilling at the Duchess of York Prospect to test for north and south strike extensions (YDC130-134). The drilling indicated that the possible control on mineralisation direction was a combination of north-south striking east dipping stratigraphy and a

south-east plunge to regional foliation. The drilling confirmed the south easterly continuation of mineralisation, however further deeper drilling was recommended.
During 1995, Hampton Hill completed further RAB drilling, designed to test second order gold-in-soil anomalies defined previously. Sixty-five (65) holes were drilled for a total of 970m (RR445-509). Eleven (11) RC holes for 1,554m were completed at the Duchess of York Prospect (YDC135-145) to test for strike and down dip extensions. The drilling indicated that the gold mineralisation extends at depth in several areas. The mineralised system was shown to be a complex series of multiple sulphide quartz veins and silica pyrite replacement zones, in many cases brecciated, and occurring in all rock types. Hampton Hill envisaged the mineralisation as occurring in a series of steeply plunging en échelon pinch and swell structures. Better results included 4m @ 6.13g/t Au from 60m in YDC135 and 6m @ 7.24g/t Au from 27m in YDC143 (refer Annexure A of this Report for full results).
During 2000, Hampton Hill completed geological mapping circa the Duchess of York and Hickman’s Find prospects. The mapping identified that the prospects occur on or near the thrust faulted and folded contact between felsic rocks to the north and a predominantly komatiite basalt sequence to the south. A program was designed to test the contact, one hundred and twenty-seven (127) aircore holes for a total of 4,942m (DA001-127) were completed during the following year. The drilling outlined intense carbonate and chlorite alteration and was considered prospective for gold mineralisation.
During 2002, Hampton Hill completed further RAB drilling, designed to test gold in soil anomalies delineated from auger drill holes. One hundred and fifty-three (153) RAB holes for 5,114m. Three (3) RC drill holes for 270m were drilled to test the along strike to the south of the Duchess of York Prospect. Hampton Hill recommended diamond drilling to assist in understanding the controls of gold mineralisation at the Duchess of York Prospect, however this was not completed with Hampton Hill surrendering the project.

Titan Resources NL (Titan) explored the Peter’s Dam Project, a joint venture with Mistral Mines NL between 1993 to 1997. Titan completed soil sampling and RAB and aircore drilling. Drilling was completed at the following prospects within the present-day boundary of the Mt Monger Project; Tiger Lily, Captain Hook, Duchess of York, Prospects. Titan completed a total of one hundred and eighteen (118) RAB drillholes for 2,295m (PDR174-291) and thirty-nine (39) aircore drillholes for 2,095m (PDA037075). Encouraging results were returned from Tiger Lily; better results included 1m intervals of 2.50g/t Au (PDR183 from 33m), 3.05g/t Au (PDR183 from 37m) and 7.12g/t Au (PDR184 from 41m). WAMEX Reports A042553, A048535
AurionGold Exploration Pty Ltd explored a portion of the Project as part of the Greater Randalls Project. During 2000, a total of eight (8) RAB drillholes and a single aircore hole were completed in the current Mt Monger Gold Project. The drilling was undertaken to follow up structural targets identified by earlier aeromagnetic interpretation in the area. The drilling program was terminated early with the drilling unable to penetrate a silcrete layer at the base of the Tertiary cover. WAMEX Reports A065664
Rubicon Resources Limited (Rubicon) consolidated much of the ground that had previously been explored in smaller parcels. Rubicon completed multiple soil geochemistry programs and two separate RAB/aircore drill programs over their Mt Monger Peters Dam Project during 2007. Drilling was completed at the Big Nose, Oak Hill, Tiger Lily, Majestic South (not within present-day boundary of Project) and Salt Creek North prospects.
Twenty-seven (27) RAB holes were drilled at Big Nose for a total of 729m. The drilling targeted areas of anomalous Au values defined by previous soil geochemistry. Drilling results were not encouraging.

Twenty-eight (28) RAB holes were drilled at Oak Hill for a total of 662m. The drilling targeted areas of anomalous Au values defined by previous soil geochemistry. Drilling results were disappointing. Rubicon stated that the Oak Hill Prospect further interpretation before potential follow up drilling next year.
Thirty-six (36) RAB holes and six (6) aircore holes were drilled at Salt Creek North for a total of 1087m, targeting structural features interpreted from aeromagnetics. Results showed anomalous Au values in two holes; RYRB253 returned 16m @ 0.287ppm Au including 4m @ 0.615ppm and RYRB248 returned 4m @ 0.710ppm Au.
Thirteen (13) RAB holes and seven (7) aircore holes were drilled at Tiger Lily for a total of 951m. The drilling was following anomalous results from previous drilling in the area by Titan; Rubicon results returned patchy anomalism with the best result being 4m @ 16.6g/t Au Au in hole RYAC270. Rubicon stated that further drilling would be undertaken in this area, as their geological interpretation of the area increased.
During 2008, Rubicon completed three hundred (300) RAB/aircore holes for a total of 11,594m over two phases. Phase one was designed to test anomalism in surface geochemistry and to test interpreted structures outlined from geophysical imagery. A second phase of follow-up drilling took place to further explore areas of best results. Drilling was completed at five prospects, Salt Creek North, Salt Creek East, Red Dale North, Hickman’s Find, Captain Hook and Tiger Lily.
A total of thirty-one (31) holes were drilled at the Tiger Lily Prospect. This was designed to follow-up gold anomalism in previously documented RAB drilling (Titan) and the earlier Rubicon drilling RYAC270. Rubicon interpreted the anomalism to be associated with an interpreted north-south fault zone parallel to the fault zone hosting the Salt Creek deposit to the west. The most significant result from holes drilled within the reporting period was 4m @ 1.20g/t Au (RYAC 643). A program was subsequently completed along strike from the Tiger Lily Prospect, with a total of twenty-two (22) holes completed; better results included 0.83g/t Au from 4m (RYAC674).
A total of one hundred and sixty-nine (169) holes were drilled at the Salt Creek North Prospect. This was designed to test structural targets to the north and along strike from the known Salt Creek deposit in neighbouring tenements to the south. Significant results were 4m @1.80g/t Au (RYAC526) and 4m @ 1.20g/t Au (RYAC544).
A total of thirty (30) holes were completed to follow-up surface geochemistry anomalies and structural targets northeast of the Hickman’s Find Prospect. Anomalous geochemistry is coincident with the contact between the mafic-dominated sequence in the south and the felsic-dominated northern sequence; results included 4m @ 0.65g/t Au (RYAC627).
A total of forty-five (45) holes tested structural targets to the north and along strike from the known Red Dale Prospect on neighbouring tenements to the south. Results were generally disappointing.
Rubicon completed a follow-up RC drilling program, a total of fourteen (14) RC holes for 1,311m and three (3) slimline RC holes for 149m. The program was designed to test pre-existing gold-in-drilling anomalies at Tiger Lily, Red Dale North and Salt Creek North as well as drill test surface gold anomalism and the extension of the Salt Creek deposit at Salt Creek East. The drilling indicated a zone of low-grade mineralisation (>8m @ >0.5g/t) at both Salt Creek North and Red Dale North. Rubicon stated that the drilling downgraded the Tiger Lily area.

Integra Mining Limited (Integra) entered into an earn-in and joint venture agreement with Rubicon during 2009. Integra contracted Jigsaw Geoscience to undertake 1:2,500 scale geological mapping over the area.
During 2010, Integra focused on the Samurai and Tiger Lily prospects, with limited RC drilling at Red Dale North and Peters Dam. Integra completed a total of ninety-four (94) RAB/aircore holes for 3,155m at the Samurai prospect (IRSB-series), and fifteen (15) holes for 536m at the Tiger Lily prospect (TIVseries). Significant intercepts included 3m @ 1.9g/t Au from 8m in IRSB006 in haematitic silica altered quartz dolerite lower saprolite and quartz veining and 4m @ 0.10g/t Au from 16m in IRSB010.
Six (6) RC drillholes for 640m (RDNRC001-RDNRC006) were completed at the Red Dale North Target, designed to the continuity of the mineralisation and to determine the true thickness and plunge of the mineralisation. Silver Lake encountered low-grade gold mineralisation and massive sulphides in several holes. Silver Lake interpreted the geology as dipping sub-vertically towards the east and deemed the drilling to be ineffective (predominately completed -60/135). Silver Lake recommended further drilling (at -60/270) to allow reassessment of the sequence and to aid in identifying the relationship between gold mineralisation and massive sulphides. Silver Lake interpreted the mineralisation to be situated near a contact between underlying felsic volcanic and overlying Archaean sediments with much of the mineralisation situated in the hanging wall. Massive sulphides were interpreted to be not related to mineralisation but are situated in the footwall rocks.
Silver Lake completed five (5) RC drillholes for a total of 900m (IPRC001-IPRC005) at the Peters Dam Target, designed to test the intersection of the enriched porphyry with a quartz rich dolerite. The northsouth orientated porphyry deemed to be geochemically similar to the “Salt Creek” porphyry (strong Mo-Bi signature, strongly elevated Th, Ce, Ba, and Sr levels and a weaker W footprint) intersects the dolerite which is considered a prospective host rock. The intersection of the two units, led Silver Lake to identify the area as highly prospective.
Low-grade gold mineralisation was recognised in a number of holes. Intense silica alteration (such as the quartz destruction zone interpreted to be the main fluid conduit at Salt Creek) was not recognised within the drillholes which could explain the lack of major gold mineralisation. Silver Lake stated that Analytical Spectral Device (ASD) and multielement sampling is required to confirm these interpretations, and that if any porphyries exist in the area they are interpreted to most likely be further to the northeast of the drilling area.
During 2011, Integra completed RAB drilling programs at the Gladiator, Samurai and Tiger Lily Prospects, a total of seventy-three (73) holes for 1,831m were completed (in range of IRGB001-84). The drilling at Gladiator was designed to test the interpretation of an enriched porphyry at the contact of a north-northwest striking fault and to identify any mineralisation associated with this setting. Peak results included 1m @ 0.25g/t Au from 4m in IRGB081 in a strongly silica-altered transitional quartz dolerite characterised by 3% disseminated pyrite.
RAB/Aircore drilling at the Samurai Prospect comprised of five (5) holes for 285m (IRSB105-109). Previously drilled holes IRSB06D and IRSB006E intersected zones of weak to moderate pyrite-silicaalbite altered quartz dolerite between 22-39m and 18-51m. The structure was modelled suggesting a north-south strike, sub-vertical dip, and a 15-25° south plunge. Assay results were deemed insignificant.
During 2012, RC drilling was completed at the Gladiator and Samurai Hill Prospects, a total of twentyseven (27) holes for 3,801m (in range of IRRC0001-63) were completed. Drilling at Gladiator was designed to further test the interpreted north-northwest striking fault that is interpreted to control mineralisation. Eight (8) RC holes were completed at the Samurai Hill Prospect to better define the

geometry of the potential mineralised vein (IRRC0001, 3, 44-48). The Samurai Hill target was identified based on previous RAB drilling results, the area shows similarities to the Salt Creek deposit setting including similar host rock, fault system, feeder vein orientation, alteration assemblages, and oxidised/reduced environment conditions.
During 2013, Integra merged with Silver Lake Resources Ltd (Silver Lake), no further work was completed. WAMEX Reports A092264, A096422, A095655, A107961
Exploration in the eastern portion of the Mt Monger Gold Project has been undertaken by a number of companies for gold and nickel since the mid-1980s. The most focused gold exploration within the eastern portion of the Mt Monger Gold Project has occurred circa the Kiaki Soaks Prospect, the Bare Hill Shear and the surrounding area. Exploration including soil sampling and RAB, RC and diamond drilling resulted in the discovery and subsequent delineation of the gold mineralised structure.
Hampton Hill completed thirty (30) RAB drillholes during 1996. The data for these drillholes was unable to be located, however work completed by Integra included the compilation of this data (see Intergra commentary below). WAMEX Report A092264
Ramsgate Resources NL (Ramsgate) explored the Kiaki Soaks area as part of their Randalls Project during 1997 to 1998. Ramsgate completed an auger sampling (1,419 samples), designed to validate a gold peak from previous scout auger and infill any anomalies identified.
One hundred and ninety-two (192) RAB holes for a total of 4,344m (KSR001-192) was designed to test two north-northeast trending geochemical soil anomalies. Drilling intersected the contact between a fine-grained mafic (basalt) to the west and sedimentary unit (siltstone/mudstone) to the east. The contact is poorly defined. A thin, black carbonaceous unit was also encountered along the contact but was found to be discontinuous. Better results included 10m @ 2.18g/t Au from 18m (KSR028) and 8m @ 1.67g/t Au from 30m (KSR154). This drilling identified the Kiaki Soaks lode gold target. WAMEX Report A056424
Solomon (Australia) Pty Ltd (Solomon) entered into a farm-in joint venture agreement with General Gold Resources NL to acquire a controlling interest in the Mt Monger Project during 1999. Solomon completed three (3) RC holes for a total of 286m (KSRC001-003). The drilling was designed to target the better intercepts from the RAB drilling completed by Ramsgate. Mineralisation intersected to date occurs in flat lying discontinuous lenses dipping conformably to the east within a highly chloritised, carbonated mafic with minor pyrite. Solomon interpreted the mineralisation to be a splay off the regional Bare Hill Shear Zone. WAMEX Report A060936
AurionGold explored the Kiaki Soaks area through their Greater Randalls Project, a Joint Venture between Solomon and Paddington Gold Pty Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary of AurionGold). AurionGold completed twelve (12) RC drillholes for 1,050m (KIRC004-015) and a single (1) diamond hole (KIDD001) during 2001. Better results from the RC drilling included 1m @ 4.71g/t Au from 17m (KIRC004) and 2m @ 3.10g/t Au from 23m (KIRC013). Better intercepts from the diamond hole included 2.4m @ 3.50g/t Au from 1.6m, 3m @ 1.11g/t Au from 49m and 1m @ 0.70g/t Au from 59m (KIDD001). AurionGold completed a prospect review, proposing further RC drilling of the target including scissor holes to ascertain the mineralisation orientation. This work was not completed. WAMEX Report A065396
Integra explored the Kiaki Soaks area though the Cowarna Joint Venture Project, a joint venture with Avoca Resources Limited. An aircore drilling program, comprising thirty-six (36) holes for 305m was drilled to test a Banded Iron Formation during 2007 (KSAC001 - KSAC036), subsequently referred to as the Emu Prospect. Although no anomalous results were recorded, FRM notes that the drilling covered a limited area and was in places quite shallow (~10m).

During 2010, two (2) RC holes for 361m (KIRC016 – KIRC017) were drilled to test for mineralisation within the Bare Hill Shear. Better results included 2m @ 1.79g/t Au from 120m (KIRC016), and 9m @ 0.21g/t Au from 107m (KIRC017).
During 2011, Integra collected samples from historical and recently drilled holes at the Kiaki Soaks Prospect. These samples included those from the Hampton Hill drilling that has been unable to be located. Drill collars were included in the Integra data files. Integra conducted multi-element analysis and ASD analysis to identify the presence and relative abundance of a suite of clay minerals as indicators of alteration halos in order to add to the geological knowledge of the area.
During 2012, Integra completed RC drilling at the Kiaki Soaks Prospect with the aim to test increased grades and thicknesses along strike and down dip of known mineralisation in the area. A total of six (6) RC holes for 833m were completed (IRRC0038-43). Geological logging identified the contact between the hanging wall sediments (carbonaceous siltstone/shale and schistose sediments) and the footwall basalts (i.e., the Randalls Fault), characterised by pervasive alteration.
Initial interpretations suggested that gold mineralisation is at or within a few metres of the fault contact. Based on ASD and geological logging of the core the mineralisation assemblage is characteristically silica pyrite+pyrrhotite+sericite+carbonate+chlorite. WAMEX Reports A092264, A096422, A095655
POZ Minerals Limited (POZ) explored the Kiaki Soaks area from 2015-2016. POZ pegged the tenement due to the presence of historic gold mineralisation. POZ completed an eighty-seven (87) hole, 2344m AC drilling campaign (MMAC001 – 087) during 2016. Drilling was designed to test the Kiaki Soaks target and a BIF-hosted mineralisation further to the east (outside the current project). Widespread gold anomalism was identified at the Kiaki Soaks target where drilling confirmed the presence of gold mineralisation along the Bare Hill Shear and identified a lode gold exploration target. Better results included 12m @ 1.8g/t Au from 24m in MMAC062 and 6m @ 1.52g/t Au from 30m in MMAC066. WAMEX Report A110671
Accelerate Resources Limited (Accelerate) entered into an agreement with POZ to acquire the Mount Monger Project during 2017. Accelerate proposed to complete aircore drilling to test the strike extension of gold mineralisation north of the Kiaki Soaks prospect and RC drilling to test the identified mineralisation at depth. Accelerate did not complete the proposed work and subsequently joint ventured the tenement to Mt Monger.
4.4 TARGET AREAS
At the Duchess of York Prospect gold mineralisation occurs near a thrust faulted and folded contact between felsic rocks in the north and komatiite basalts to the south. Drilled to approximately 60m depth, the contact zone has been intensely carbonate-chlorite altered. Gold mineralisation is associated with a complex array of quartz sulphide veins and brecciated zones of silica and pyrite replacement, occurring in all rock types. Rapid pinch and swell geometry along strike and down dip characterises the system, which has a strike length of approximately 300m and is up to 80m wide.
The mineralisation is envisaged as occurring in a series of steeply plunging, en echelon pinch and swell structures which are open at depth (refer Figures 6 and 7). The main host rock to the mineralisation is talc-carbonate chlorite schist which is interpreted to have originally been a komatiitic (high-Mg) basalt.
Drilling has shown the mineralisation to extend to a vertical depth of at least 100m; 6m @ 3.9g/t Au from 118m including 1m @ 15g/t Au from 123m in YDC136. Mineralisation remains open to the south east.

The Hickman’s Find Prospect is located within a north-south trending package of ferruginised silicified sedimentary rocks, black shale, volcaniclastic rocks and dacite porphyry, forming a low ridge. Gold mineralisation is hosted in a ferruginised chert unit.
Gold mineralisation at the Kiaki Soaks Prospect has been intersected over a 2,500m north-south trending zone along the Bare Hill Shear Zone which is interpreted as the source of mineralisation. The mineralised zone is open to the north (refer Figure 8).
In early 1998, an extensive RAB drilling program was completed to test two north-northeast trending soil geochemical anomalies. The drilling intersected the contact between a fine-grained chloritic basalt to the west and a siltstone/mudstone rock assemblage to the east. A black carbonaceous unit was encountered along the contact in some drill holes. The results of this drilling identified the Kiaki Soaks lode gold deposit.
Subsequent RC and diamond drilling by Solomon, AurionGold and POZ returned a number of significant results, including 4m @ 4.2g/t Au from 32m and 36m @ 2.3g/t Au from 36m depth in hole KIRC007 which was drilled down-dip along the mineralised structure.
Previous operators have surmised various thoughts regarding the interpretation of the mineralisation. Solomon interpreted the mineralisation to occur in flat-lying discontinuous lenses dipping conformably to the east within a highly chloritised and carbonate altered mafic rock with minor pyrite, and that the mineralisation may be located along a splay structure off the regional Bare Hill Shear Zone. POZ’s exploration work supported the lode gold mineralisation orientation of approximately 3-6 metres true width by 350m strike length and largely open at depth, however they interpreted the overlying mineralisation to be paleochannel derived (refer Figure 9). Silver Lake interpreted the higher-grade anomalism along the Bare Hill Shear Zone to be “leakage” anomalies connected with a potential large deposit further to the west in the more reactive footwall mafics. Silver Lake proposed a broad-scale aircore drilling program to test this reinterpretation and to explore for a potentially lower grade bulk zone of mineralisation. This work was not completed.
Mt Monger will assess the various models previously theorised as well as the possibility for northerly or southerly plunging ore shoots which are prominent within the area. Additionally, several drill holes located west of the main target lode position intersected gold values at end of hole and could warrant follow-up drilling.

The Red Dale North Prospect has returned multiple encouraging mineralised intercepts; however, the orientation of the mineralisation is poorly understood. It is suspected that the previous drilling has been drilled oblique to mineralised structures that parallel an east-west or east-northeast to west-southwest striking stratigraphy.
Previous drilling encountered felsic volcanic, arenaceous, and shaly sediments under thin transported cover. The area is dominated by a magnetic low and lies immediately north of a regional east-west feature subparallel to a Proterozoic mafic dyke. Mineralisation is strongest near the base of oxidation, but some appears to extend into the fresh felsic volcanic.
There are massive sulphide units directly adjacent to some of the mineralisation. It is thought that an Induced Polarisation (IP) survey could assist in better defining the orientation of the geology and increase the effectiveness of subsequent drill programs.
Mineralisation at the Peters Dam Prospect has been interpreted as being controlled by a north-south fault, similar to the neighbouring Salt Creek Deposit. Mineralisation is hosted in a package of weathered mafic and ultramafic rocks. Previous results have been patchy, however drilling to follow-up of the following intercepts is recommended; 12m @ 0.66g/t Au in PDR183 and 3m @ 4.25g/t Au from in PDR184.

Mineralisation at the Gladiator Prospect is thought to be controlled by a northwest trending fault zone. Only four (4) holes in the Gladiator area have returned significant intercepts greater than 0.5g/t Au. However, broad anomalous zones have been recorded in several holes over a 1200m north-south strike extent (eg. 68m @ 0.13g/t Au within IRRC029). Mineralisation is coincident with the contact of a quartzfeldspar porphyry and high-Mg basalt.
Mineralisation at the Samurai Prospect tends to be narrow and low-grade. Mineralisation is associated with a dolerite unit and a quartz feldspar porphyry that has intruded the dolerite. Drilling circa drillholes IRRC0045 (2m @ 1.67g/t Au from 23m) and IRRC0046 (2m @ 0.73g/t Au from 35m) may be warranted.
Lefroy’s Burns gold and copper prospect lies on the eastern margin of a large interpreted multiphase felsic intrusion. The intrusion does not outcrop and is represented by a distinctive annular aeromagnetic and gravity geophysical signature (refer ASX.LEX 23[rd] February 2021 Announcement). A cursory review has highlighted several potentially similar untested magnetic targets with the Mt Monger Gold Project. The mineralisation at Burns is hosted within a hematite-pyrite-chalcopyrite-magnetite altered porphyry. The Mt Monger Gold Project database will be interrogated for previous porphyry intercepts.

5.1 LOCATION, ACCESS & TENURE
The East Laverton Gold Project is centred 70km south-east of the townsite of Laverton (Figure 10). The project area is located within the Mt Margaret Mineral Field and lies on the Laverton (SH51-02), Rason (SH51-03) and Minigwal (SH51-07) 1:250,000 map sheets and the Mount Varden (3331), Burtville (3440), McMillan (3441), Bailey (3540), Lightfoot (3539), Jarlemai (3639) and Toppin (3640) 1:100,000 map sheets.
The Laverton Township is located 120km east of Leonora and is 457m above mean sea level. It has a population of approximately 1,200 and is the administrative centre for the surrounding Shire. Laverton is at the centre of an extensive mining region and is surrounded by several world class nickel and gold mines. Laverton act as a services hub for the mining industry in the region.
Access to the project by road from Perth is via the sealed Great Eastern Highway to Kalgoorlie then via the sealed Goldfields Highway to Leonora and thence the sealed Leonora-Laverton road to the town of Laverton. The Laverton airstrip is serviced by both commercial and charter flights.
The northern portion of the project area is accessed via the Great Central Road and the unsealed White Cliffs – Yamarna Road, both heading north east from Laverton. The central and southern portions of the project area are accessed via the unsealed, formed gravel Coglia – Merolia Road heading south east from Laverton, travelling through the historic Burtville Mining Centre to the Coglia Well Outcamp. The Rason Lake Road provides additional access to the central and eastern portions of the project. Well maintained subsidiary roads, station tracks, grid lines and fence lines provide additional access to the project. Vehicle accessibility off road is generally good when the ground is dry because the vegetation is sparse and low.
The topography of the project area is generally flat with occasional low hills with slope gradients generally ranging from 5º to 20º. The project area is moderately rugged in the north western portion, becoming more subdued in the south with elevations ranging from 420m to 465m above sea level. The project area is well vegetated with mulga and gum trees predominating over most of the project area, giving way to salt bush and spinifex in lower lying areas around ephemeral salt lakes.

The regional climate is arid desert, with hot summers and warm to cold winters. Annual rainfall is low and seasonal, mostly occurring between December and June and occurs over short periods associated with thunderstorms and cyclonic lows. The climate is characterised by hot dry summers and cold winters, with average maximum temperatures of around 30°C. Daytime temperatures can exceed 40°C during the summer, while overnight temperatures can fall below zero during the winter. In FRM’s opinion and based on experience working in the area, the climatic conditions do not have a significant impact on the ability to undertake exploration throughout the year.

5.2 GEOLOGY
Regional Setting
The East Laverton Gold Project is located in the Burtville Terrane on the eastern edge of the Eastern Goldfields Superterrane which in turn comprises the eastern third of the Yilgarn Craton (refer Figure 3 within the Mt Monger Gold Project Geology Section). The Burtville Terrane is the least well documented of the terranes, separated from the adjacent Kurnalpi Terrane by the regional-scale Hootanui Fault.
The Terrane comprises three domains (from west to east): the Duketon, Merolia and Yamarna Domains. The boundary of the Duketon and Merolia Domains diagonally dissects the project area in a north northwesterly direction, with the Yamarna Domain lying directly to the east of the project area.
The Duketon Domain includes intermediate and felsic volcanic rocks and associated mafic rocks in the central and eastern parts of the Duketon greenstone belt as well as greenstone assemblages dominated by mafic and ultramafic volcanic and fine-grained sedimentary rocks (Cassidy et al, 2006).
The eastern portion of the project area lies over the Merolia Domain within the north-northwest trending Irwin Hills-Lake Lightfoot greenstone belt. Rocks within the greenstone belt are sheared by layer-parallel structures, folded and intruded by granite. The belt contains dominantly mafic rocks which are typically basalt and dolerite. Abundant ultramafic rocks occur throughout the sequence with at least one continuous unit along the western side of the belt. Sedimentary rocks are also abundant and include shale, sandstone, chert and BIF, and are found at all levels. Ridges of ferruginous chert and BIF are

prominent along the western side of the belt and also define large scale folds in the north. At the northwestern end of the belt, a gabbro lens forms the Irwin Hills (Romano et al, 2008).

Project Geology
The project area contains limited outcrop, with the bedrock geology predominantly concealed by transported cover. The cover sequence within the project area consists of either: alluvial sheetwash; palaeozoic and modern lake sediment; pedogenic and drainage derived calcrete and silcrete deposits; aeolian dune sands; and small pockets of Permian glacial sandstones and tillites (Paterson Formation).
Due to the area’s extensive sedimentary cover, which limits the Archaean rock exposure, and that there has been little geological work in the area either by mining companies or government geological surveys, the geology of the area is poorly understood.
The western portion of the project is dominantly comprised of granites. The southwestern part of the project (E38/3510) is dominated by Shay Cart Range, an iron formation (locally banded) with interbedded silt and sandstone. North of the iron formation is a magnetite/hematite-rich conglomerate with a very fine-grained, silty, globular matrix.
The eastern portion of the project straddles the intersection of the Yamarna and Dexter Shear Zones. Outcrop within the area is limited and consists of minor scattered Permian outcrop. The 65km-long Dexter Shear Zone consists of two parallel zones of shearing along which extensive strike lengths of greenstone have been interpreted by Geoscience Australia particularly along the western component of the shear zone, which is intruded by two small granite plutons close to the intersection with the Sefton Lineament. Dextral drag folding is evident along the eastern component of the Dexter Shear Zone. The Archean basement in this area is covered by extensive, thin aeolian sand and Permian sediments of the Paterson Formation. Drilling within E39/2218 and E39/2219 encountered a depth of cover of approximately 30m. Drilling to the immediate north of the Project encountered 2 to 18m of cover; drilling to the immediate east of the northern Project area encountered cover of up to 40m thickness. Cover increases to a depth of at least 80m circa the Dexter Shear Zone.
The aeromagnetic data and the sparse outcrops observed in the field suggest that the Project area geology comprises several phases of Archaean granitoids. The granites appear as discrete bodies with varying magnetic intensity. While some of the granites that appear at surface are adamellitic in composition and show minimal deformation, there is also an earlier phase of banded migmatites and gneissic rocks. The magnetic data also suggests that the more deformed gneissic sequence also contains amphibolitic units and highly magnetic undifferentiated greenstones outliers. External to E38/3302 and E38/3511, there is evidence of these outlier rocks is seen in outcrop as a lens of ultramafic cumulate rock and gossan. Also evident from the aeromagnetic data is at least two cross-cutting mafic dyke swarms, the age of which are most likely Proterozoic.
Historical drilling confirms the presence of ultrabasic rocks.
Mineralisation
The Project is on the eastern fringe of the Yilgarn Craton, surrounded by existing and emerging world class gold camps. To the west, the +25 Moz Au Laverton Greenstone Belt is home to Sunrise Dam (10 Moz Au), Wallaby (8 Moz Au) and Granny Smith (2.5 Moz Au) and a suite of other nearby deposits. Gold production from the belt is estimated to be in excess of 28 Moz Au. Lying to the east of the Project is the Dorothy Hills Belt (Yamarna Greenstone Belt), hosting the 6 Moz Au granitoid-hosted Gruyere deposit, whilst the 7.5 Moz Au granite gneiss-hosted Tropicana deposit is located in the Albany-Fraser Province to the southeast.
The Mt Weld Rare Earth (REE) Deposit and concentration plants (Lynas Rare Earths Limited, ASX:LYC) are located 45km to the southwest of the East Laverton Gold Project. The Mt Weld carbonatite intrudes

Archaean greenstones in the central part of the fault-bounded, north-south trending Laverton tectonic zone. All the currently known economic REE resources at the Mt Weld deposit are hosted within the lateritic regolith above the intrusive carbonatite. The Total Mineral Resource for Mt Weld is currently 54.5 million tonnes, at an average grade of 5.2% TREO[1] , for a total of 2.8 million tonnes REO, comprised of a Measured Resource of 16.7 million tonnes, at an average grade of 7.5% TREO, an Indicated Resource of 11.9 million tonnes, at an average grade of 5.3% TREO and an Inferred Resource of 25.9 million tonnes, at an average grade of 3.6% TREO (ASX.LYC Announcement 6[th] August 2018).
Limited previous exploration within the Point Kidman project area has identified light REE mineralisation hosted by laterite clays and strongly weathered granites associated with Archaean granitoid terrane. Aircore drilling intersected anomalous LREE mineralisation (Ce, La, Nd, Pr and Sm) in reconnaissance aircore drill holes (see Section 5.3) over a wide area that remain to be followed up with additional exploration. Very widely spaced Geological Survey of Western Australia (GSWA) rock chip samples in the area have returned anomalous REEs and indicates the size of the anomalous REE fingerprint in the region is much larger than the area drilled to date.
5.3 EXPLORATION HISTORY
There has been limited previous exploration within the East Laverton Gold Project. Early exploration programs focused on the diamond potential of the area with Stockdale Prospecting exploring the area for kimberlites during the 1990s. Diamond exploration intersected nickel mineralisation in an aircore drillhole which subsequently led to exploration programs focusing on nickel mineralisation. Other programs focused on looking for uranium with work restricted to the palaeochannels. Programs have been predominately regional in nature.
Exploration completed to date is summarised below, grouped in sub-project areas (Figure 12). Figure 13 shows all drill collars, significant drill intersections and recent geochemical samples. Significant drill intersections for all drilling is tabulated in Annexure A of this Report.
Point Kidman Area
There is evidence that early exploration within the area, including trenches in laterite and several old vertical percussion holes into ultramafic, likely to have been undertaken during the nickel boom of the late 1960s and early 1970s but there is little documentation of this work.
Image Resources NL (Image), through various joint ventures with Troy Resources NL and Ranger Minerals Ltd, held much of the tenement area from 2001 to 2007. During this period, they conducted magnetic studies, geochemistry programs and limited drilling.
The auger drilling defined a 1.5km linear 10-18 ppb gold anomaly, as well as several Cu-Ni-Pt-Pd anomalies within a broad nickel zone which corresponds to a 1.8km-long belt of sub-cropping greenstones (including ultramafic rocks in drill spoils). This anomaly lies within the present-day boundary of E38/3499.
A RAB drilling program was designed to test a favourable position of an interpreted shear zone expressed as a north-south trending magnetic feature under cover where the vacuum drilling failed to

penetrate to bedrock. The Central Anomaly was tested by five (5) east-west traverses, forty (40) holes totalling 1,438 metres (drillholes ARRB01-40, ARRB45-51).
Drill results showed the greenstone belt included a 250m-wide talc carbonate/ serpentinite ultramafic between granites to the west and metabasalts to the east. A dextral fault offset of 100m is interpreted to occur along an east-west fault near the northern limit of exposure.
Results were encouraging however no economic gold grades were encountered. The most significant nickel intersection encountered was 4m @ 0.53% Ni from 16m in hole ARRB-24. WAMEX Report A068927

Crescent Gold Limited (Crescent) explored the southwestern corner of the Point Kidman area as part of their Barnicoat Project. During 2007, Crescent completed a broad-spaced aircore drilling program designed to locate geochemical and mineral alteration footprints, typical of those surround gold deposits within the area. Aircore holes were drilled down to fresh rock and samples tested for three indicators; gold, trace elements and mineral alteration (measured by handheld spectral scanners). A total of twenty-three (23) drillholes for 996m were drilled within the present-day boundary of E38/3499. WAMEX Report A078828
During 2012, Victory Mines Ltd (Victory) explored the general area now covered by E38/3499. Victory commissioned a low-level combined aerial magnetic and radiometric survey during 2012. An auger sampling program was completed across several major fault with associated splays identified from the aerial magnetic survey. Various gold, copper and nickel anomalies were identified. Gold anomalies generally trended northwest, parallel to general trend of the banded iron formation. The northern most anomaly was open along strike and across strike.

The nickel and copper anomalies are predominately coincidental. The largest nickel-copper anomaly was thought to simply reflect the underlying geology (ultramafics), however there were multiple anomalies to the west of this anomaly (lying on the general trend of the gold anomalies) which Victory deemed to be significant with the area not being underlain by ultramafic lithologies. Victory planned to complete additional auger sampling; however, the tenement was surrendered prior to additional work being completed. WAMEX Report A105989
Resources Assets Pty Ltd (Resource Assets) and Redfeather Holdings Pty Ltd (Redfeather) applied for tenements (E38/2508, E38/2510, E38/2582, E38/2640 and E38/2641) over the area during 2010. Resource Assets and Redfeather became interested in the general area following the discovery of numerous gold nuggets by prospectors circa the Point Kidman area. Resource Assets and Redfeather completed magnetics interpretation, geology mapping, soil sampling and metal detecting.
During 2013, Empire Resources Ltd (Empire) managed the exploration work on behalf of tenement holders Redfeather Holdings and Resource Assets. Empire completed fifty-two (52) aircore drillholes for a total of 1,126m. The reconnaissance drillholes were designed to target four discrete magnetic highs (M1 to M4) close to the margin of a large granite intrusion. Various types of granitoid were intersected at each target. No significant gold values were found, although anomalous rare earth elements (REE) were intersected in a number of holes at each target area. Better intersections included 4m @ 0.20% REE from 36m (PKAC001 @ Prospect M1), 3m @ 0.18% REE from 48m to EOH (PKAC027 @ Prospect M2), 1m @ 0.28% REE from 8m to EOH (PKAC033 @ Prospect M3) and 4m @ 0.27% REE from 24m (PKAC051 Prospect M4). At the northern end of the drill line at the M1 prospect, aircore drilling also detected a weak silver anomaly up to 4m @ 0.65g/t Ag from surface (PKAC001). Refer Annexure A of this Report for complete results.
The REE were dominated by the light rare earths (LREE) cerium (Ce), lanthanum (La), neodymium (Nd), praseodymium (Pr) and samarium (Sm) which together comprise on average 94% of the total REE. Empire surmised that the anomalous REE discovered at the four prospects was related to possible hydrothermal activity associated with regional shear zones.
Empire completed an auger drilling program (599 drillholes) over an area of structural complexity located approximately 8km northeast of the original gold nugget discovery location at Point Kidman. Drilling was exclusively within granitic colluvial sand, no significant geochemical anomalies were generated from this program. WAMEX Report A098982
Resource Assets and Redfeather resumed exploration management of the Point Kidman Project during 2013 to 2014. Their exploration focus returned to gold, soil sampling was undertaken over the Point Kidman nugget patch area and defined a cluster of +3ppb Au anomalies associated with the patch.
During 2014, Matsa Resources Ltd (Matsa) entered into a farm-in agreement with Redfeather Holdings and Resource Assets to earn an interest in the Point Kidman Gold Project. Matsa completed 1154 auger soil samples assayed for Au and a multielement suite. Results were disappointing. Matsa completed a one hundred and nine (109) drillhole RAB program for a total of 2,506m. The drilling was designed to test the Point Kidman soil Au and nugget patch. No further documentation of the work completed is publicly available. WAMEX Report A107099

During 1997, Quadrant Resources Pty Ltd (Quadrant) explored the central portion of E38/3511 as E38/986. Quadrant flew an aeromagnetic survey with flight lines oriented east west on 200m line spacings. A geological interpretation of the geophysics suggested that the tenement was underlain by

greenstone assemblages with numerous faults transecting the greenstone belts. WAMEX Report A056734
During 1998, Stockdale Prospecting Ltd (subsidiary of the De Beers Group), in joint venture with Quadrant, identified numerous bulls-eye aeromagnetic anomalies from the regional aeromagnetic data. Follow up detailed infill aeromagnetics was completed across the target areas in addition to loam sampling and limited drilling. The area was evaluated for potential kimberlites using geochemistry, indicator minerals and petrography. No kimberlites were identified, however assay results produced elevated Co, Cr, Cu and Ni values. Anomalous Ni mineralisation suggested that unless there is a lateritic profile developed with secondary enrichment, that high Ni values may be associated with sulphides with ultrabasic affinity. WAMEX Report A059322
During 1988 to 1989, Placer Exploration Limited (Placer) carried out gold exploration within their Point Kidman Project. Placer considered the area to be prospective for gold accumulations within the Tertiary sediments of the Lake Mingewal palaeochannel. Placer completed a ground gravity survey at 150m spacings and drilled 13 holes for 893m. Drilling methods and analytical results are not included in the report, however it is likely the method was aircore. Drilling encountered lacustrine clays and sands to approximately 80 m below the surface, with a gravel and pebble lag at the base of the palaeochannel. No gold was visually identified when panning the sand sequences. WAMEX Report A028458
During 1989 to 1991, Dominion Gold Operations Pty Ltd (Dominion) explored their Karara Well Project (E38/288), which covers some of the southern portion of E38/3510. The Karara Well Project was acquired to cover several bulls-eye magnetic anomalies recognised in recently flown multi-client survey. Dominion believed that these bulls-eye anomalies may correspond to district late-stage magnetite-rich granitoid intrusions, following the discovery of the nearby Wallaby Gold Deposit. Dominion completed close spaced geochemistry programs (soil sampling and rock chip sampling) over the anomalies. The program was unsuccessful, with Dominion deeming the soil samples to be an inappropriate medium for geochemical sampling given the transported cover. Dominion subsequently completed 18 vertical RAB drillholes for 272m (63m hammer, 209m blade) into three of the bulls-eye magnetic anomalies, namely Anomaly 1-3. Drilling intersected a metasomatised magnetite series granitoid basement, no anomalous gold values were reported. WAMEX Reports A019089, A033865
During 1999, Voyager Gold NL (Voyager) carried out an aircore program at its White Cliffs Project (tenements E38/890-895) exploring for gold, comprising 60 shallow, vertical aircore holes (maximum depth of 38m) along shire roads and accessible pastoral tracks. Of these 53 holes, 15 are located within E38/3510. A total of 59 hydrogeochemical samples were collected from the drillholes and stock bores. A number of clusters of anomalous gold were found, however Voyager believed that the anomalies were sourced within the large palaeodrainage transecting the areas. Ten metre composite samples were analysed for gold, silver and base metals. Two holes returned composite Au values exceeding 20ppb Au, including WCA049 which lies within E38/3510. The intercept was within transported saline drainage material. WAMEX Reports A053462, A058386
During 2000 to 2001, Gemcoral Holdings Pty Ltd (Gemcoral) and Caldera Resources Pty Ltd (Caldera) continued their regional exploration for diamonds. They considered the several major basement structures within the region to be prospective for diamond-bearing intrusives. Exploration comprised aeromagnetic interpretation, loam sampling and limited drilling. A reconnaissance aircore drilling program was completed targeting magnetic features. Samples were analysed for diamond pathfinder elements.
During 2009, various papers were published on the discovery and mineralisation of the Tropicana gold project. The petrological descriptions within these papers of the gold host gneissic rocks from Tropicana

reminded Caldera geologists of a similar rock from the earlier drilling program. Three target areas were deemed of interest for gold mineralisation, namely the 48-03, 49-01 and 49-08 targets.
Chip trays from this drilling were subsequently reviewed and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) was completed to determine the mineralogy of the rocks encountered. Work confirmed that the bottom of hole rock from drillhole 49-08-6 was an almandine gneiss. Gold and pathfinder element analysis were completed, with encouraging Au and base metal results, including 217ppb Au, 156ppm Cu, 209ppm Pb and 423ppm Zn from DH-49-08-6 (58-59m) within an oxidised zone. Refer Annexure A of this Report for complete results. WAMEX Reports A062510, A063226, A064603, A064604, A065422
Caldera joint ventured the project to Independence Group NL (IGO) during 2012. IGO believed the tenement package represented an opportunity to assess the potential for a Tropicana look alike. IGO completed a short soil sampling campaign and a ground magnetic survey, followed by a drilling program.
The drilling program was designed to investigate the scale and orientation of the anomalous zone in gold and base metals within Caldera drillhole DH-49-08-06. Petrology noted pyrrhotite retrograding to pyrite, accessory chalcopyrite and magnetite associated with high grade metamorphism, which IGO stated as indicators for Tropicana-style mineralisation. The drillhole is located over an interpreted quartz-feldspar-amphiboles gneiss, located over a strong magnetic high, which was interpreted to be after a recrystallised banded iron formation. Two east-west lines were designed to test the target and to further define the strike and thickness of the anomalous zone.
Fourteen (14) angled aircore drillholes were completed for a total of 801m. Drilling successfully replicated the favourable host rock and also successfully constrained the extent of the quartz-feldsparhornblende rich unit.
The drilling highlighted the deep (~30m) younger Eocene cover delineating an unconformity with the top of basement. The thick cover capping the underlying Archean basement explained the lack of soil anomalies above historical DH-49-08-06.
The southern line of drilling defined a ~160m thick mafic unit, para-amphibolite look alike. This unit is rich in hornblende and described as a quartz-feldspar-hornblende gneiss, also interpreted to be the source of the anomalous gold zone. This para-amphibolite contains rare quartz-carbonate veins with coarse garnets. No significant sulphides were intersected, however a disseminated magnetite zone associated with iron oxides were present within drillholes T2AC001, T2AC002 and T2AC006 which IGO stated to be of interest. The IGO drillholes along this southern line were all shorter than the 73m obtained by Caldera (DH-49-08-06).
A magnetic, narrow banded iron formation fully recrystallised (crystalloblastic texture) was intersected in drillhole T2AC006 which explained the intensity of the magnetic high (640nT,). Near the footwall and hanging wall contact it appeared that the amphibolite unit is getting depleted in magnetite and silica but enriched in hornblende (drillholes T2AC002 and T2AC008). The footwall and hanging wall host rock is defined by a foliated K-feldspar/quartz rich gneissic granitoid with rare muscovite/white micas (drillholes T2AC003, 004, 005 and T2AC009). This granitoid shows flattened quartz features, signs of an intense foliation event.
The northern line of drilling was located along strike on the same high amplitude magnetic feature that is cross-cut by a demagnetised northeast striking discontinuity, likely dyke features. Drillholes (T2AC011, 012 and T2AC014) intersected a broader iron formation unit interfingered with similar para-amphibolite within. T2AC013 intersected the probable footwall quartz/feldspar gneissic granitoid.

The better gold intercepts received from drilling campaign occurred within a mafic gneiss rich in quartz, hornblende, feldspar, occasional garnets and rare pyrite. Disseminated magnetite is also present proximal to a recrystallised crystalloblastic iron formation source of the magnetic high.
The Au anomalies were associated with Ag, Pt-Pd, Bi, Cu-Zn and depleted in W. IGO stated that these anomalies are low order and seem to be potentially background values for this unit. None of the followup drill holes were able to replicate similar order anomalies as historical DH-49-08-06, however only 4m composites samples were submitted to the laboratory.
IGO noted that pervasive low order Cu-Zn-(Ni) anomalies are located above the mafic unit, which could be the sign of supergene dispersion at the interface base of complete oxidisation-top of basement of the banded iron formation and para-amphibolite units.
Results from the drilling did not define any higher and/or wider gold anomalism within the supergene and transition proximal to the known gold anomalism (T2AC008 returned 12m @ 16ppb Au from 52m, including 4m @ 24ppb Au). Base metals were slightly elevated and corresponded with known metasediments (Zn values up to 250ppm, Cu values up to 270ppm and Pb values up to 190ppm). IGO stated that no further work was warranted, and the option agreement was terminated. WAMEX Report A100101
During 2007 to 2012, White Cliff Nickel Limited (White Cliff) focused on identifying nickel mineralisation as part of a joint venture with Daewoo International Corporation and Korea Resources. White Cliff explored the southern portion of Mt Monger’s E38/3302; completing geochemistry sampling programs as well as aircore, reverse circulation and diamond drilling. A total of fifty-two (52) aircore holes for 1,948m and two (2) diamond drillholes for 927.6m were completed within the present-day boundary of E38/3302.
White Cliff completed a Mobile Metal Ion (MMI) soil sampling program initially as an orientation survey over the White Cliff Gossan area (to the northwest of E38/3302). The trial successfully identified nickel anomalism and was subsequently completed over the entire White Cliff project area on a regional 400m x 1.2km grid, infilling to 200m x 400m in two discrete areas. The magnitude of the project wide anomalism was not as great as that over the White Cliff Gossan area. White Cliff noted that the White Cliff Gossan area is at surface whilst the more subtle anomalies to the south may indicate that the nickel bearing material is under alluvial cover.
Results of interest from the MMI program within the Laverton Gold Project include an area which White Cliff referred to as the West Side anomaly and the Hampshire anomaly. The West Side anomaly was identified from a single line of elevated results (up to 12 times background) that coincide with a magnetic high trending north east and crossing cutting a southeast trending magnetic high. Further south no soil anomalies were detected suggesting that the anomaly relates to the north east trending magnetic high. There are several magnetic highs that trend north east which have not been tested with soil sampling.
The Hampshire anomaly covers approximately 2km[2] and consists of several nickel results greater than 2,500ppb with a peak nickel value of 13,800ppb Ni. The anomaly is situated directly over a large magnetic high interpreted to be an ultramafic unit. An aircore drilling program was designed to test the Hampshire coincident nickel in soil and magnetic target, however this was not completed.
Reconnaissance aircore drilling was completed over magnetic and geochemical anomalies at either 50m or 100m spacings. Several of the magnetic targets were identified as amphibolites, providing evidence of greenstone outliers being present, in other instances the drilling failed to reach the appropriate

modelled depth, with holes ending in overlying lake sediment or hard granite. No significant mineralisation was intersected.
Drilling was completed at the beforementioned West Side anomaly, drilling identified ultramafic rocks at the western end of the completed program. Interpretation by White Cliff indicated that the ultramafic rocks are intrusive and are part of a major dyke system. White Cliff annual technical reports state that assay results identified anomalous nickel values up to 0.26% Ni, however it is likely that this is from single metre replits as the data files indicate that the best intercept was 16m @ 0.14% Ni (from 44m) including 4m @ 0.18% Ni (from 44m). White Cliff stated that further follow up drilling was warranted.
During 2012, White Cliff completed two diamond holes for a total of 927.6m within the present-day boundary of E38/3302. The drillholes were designed by Newexco Exploration Pty Ltd, renowned nickel consultants, to target a Moving Loop Transient Electromagnetic (MLTEM) conductive anomaly, lying over a circular, steeply dipping, regional magnetic anomaly. The MLTEM survey indicated the presence of a bedrock conductor, with the anomalous response appearing to be part of a complex broad circular high of around 800m diameter with three possible internal peaks orientated northeast-southwest to, and partially coincident with, the magnetic high.
Diamond drillhole WCDD001 was drilled to a depth of 374m and intersected extensive komatiitic basalts with pervasive silica-carbonate-pyrite-pyrrhotite alteration. The modelled conductor was intersected at 349m over a width of 7m. The zone consisted of massive sulphides composed dominantly of pyrrhotite and pyrite (iron sulphides) with trace silver, zinc, lead, tellurium, and cadmium.
Due to the massive sulphides and trace metals identified in the first diamond drill hole, a second drillhole was completed 200m down dip from the initial massive sulphide intersection. The second diamond hole, WCDD003, was drilled to 569.8m and intersected barren massive sulphides (modelled conductor) at 439m over a width of 1.5m. The geological sequence was similar to the initial diamond hole consisting of overlying palaeochannel sediments followed mainly by pillow basalts with small intrusive intermediate to felsic diorite, granodiorite and granite. The conductor consisted of pyrrhotite and pyrite with trace levels of silver and base metals.
Based on the low levels of base metals in intersections 200m apart, White Cliff categorised the massive sulphides as barren. White Cliff were encouraged by the basalt surrounding the massive sulphides displaying extensive moderate to intense silica-carbonate-pyrrhotite-pyrite alteration and further geophysical surveys and aircore drilling was planned to explore untested magnetic targets interpreted to be mafic or ultramafic rocks. No further work was completed. WAMEX Reports A084186, A094193 A096634
During 2019 to 2020, Trigg Mining Ltd (Trigg) explored the area for potash hosted in hypersaline brines within the Great Victoria Desert region. Trigg completed a ground-based gravity survey along three traverses across the inferred palaeovalley. Several locations along the palaeovalley were chosen for potential follow-up drilling based on the perceived thickness of the palaeochannel and potential for significant brine-bearing sand intervals. Following tenement rationalisation, the ground was surrendered. WAMEX Report A123652

Dexter Area
BHP Minerals Ltd (BHP) explored the area to the south of the Dexter Project during the 1980s for kimberlites. BHP drilled a vertical hole (No. 2A) 423.4m deep to test a large circular magnetic anomaly. The drillhole intersected very magnetic banded iron formation beneath conglomerate, overlain by grey shale. The BHP drilling also reported that ultramafic and mafic rocks were intersected.
During 1990, Western Mining Corporation (WMC) completed two (2) reconnaissance vertical RC drillholes within the western tenement (E39/2219) for a total of 150m. The drillholes were completed as part of WMC’s Jasper Hills exploration program, focused on exploring the region for banded iron formation hosted gold mineralisation and shear hosted gold mineralisation. The drillholes targeted two discrete circular magnetic anomalies, drilling intersected granite and diorite, with the magnetic anomalies remaining unexplained. WAMEX Report A033926
During 1994, Eucalyptus Nickel NL (Eucalyptus) explored the area for diamond pipes, focusing on prominent geological features, including the area previously drilled by WMC, referred to by Eucalyptus as the Hope Campbell Circle. Eucalyptus collected geochemistry samples across the magnetic feature,

comparing the chemical analyses to the chemistry of lamproite and kimberlites. WAMEX Report A042741
Beadell Resources Ltd (Beadell) explored the area as part of their Minigwal Project during 2007. Beadell completed soil sampling along an existing east-west access track. Soil results were encouraging and coupled with the need to ascertain the depth of cover an aircore drilling program was planned to test the soil sample line. Thirteen (13) holes were completed for a total of 1,087m. Nine (9) of these lie within the present-day boundary of E39/2218 (MN00005-10, 12, 16, 21). All drillholes were completed along the old east-west access track with the exception of one hole (MN00021) which was drilled along the newly cleared line approximately 12.5m to the north of the old track.
The northernmost hole revealed deep cover was present and this coupled by difficult sand dune terrain prevent further drilling to the north of this position. Results were not encouraging, and no further work was completed. WAMEX Reports A080452, A084750
During 2012-2014, Breaker Resources NL (Breaker) explored the area for gold mineralisation, resulting in the identification of the Sandshoes Prospect (within the present-day boundary of E39/2218) and the Dexter West Prospect (within the present-day boundary of E39/2219).
Breaker completed a reconnaissance (1,600m x 400m) multi-element auger soil survey in late August 2013 to screen for large gold deposit signatures in the previously unexplored southern half of their Dexter Project (805 samples). This survey was successful in identifying a cohesive, 12km-long gold-insoil anomaly of regionally significance, designated the Sandshoes Prospect. The anomaly is in sand cover with peak gold values of 35ppb. The Sandshoes anomaly is situated near the intersection of the Sefton Lineament and the Dexter Shear Zone. Significantly, the gold-in-soil anomaly appears to leak downslope from a granite/greenstone contact apparent in the aeromagnetic data over a 12km strike length, a similar setting to the Three Bears Prospect (20km northeast of Sandshoes), one of Breaker’s more advanced prospects.
An additional soil sampling program was completed to the west, now E39/2219. Surface soil sampling (52 samples on a 400m x 1,600m pattern) outlined an anomaly, referred to as Dexter West, measuring approximately 5km x 2km exceeding 9ppb Au with a maximum value of 31.7ppb Au (refer Figure 15). The anomaly overlies a discrete magnetic feature coinciding with a small greenstone belt which has not previously been explored for gold. Intersecting structural features accompanied by anomalous gold pathfinder elements were evident.
Breaker completed various phases of aircore drilling during 2014, targeting the above soil anomalies. A reconnaissance aircore drilling program at Dexter West comprised twenty (20) vertical holes (BAC06940713) for 1,280m. The drilling identified weakly anomalous gold in surficial gravels that overly 25m to 66m of transported Permian cover. No significant gold values were identified in the insitu regolith or basement rocks which consisted of granite and amphibolite, the latter most likely responsible for the discrete magnetic feature. Breaker believed the anomaly was likely due to transported gravel and surrendered the tenement.
A total of one hundred and six (106) aircore drillholes for a total of 6,725m were completed over the Sandshoes Prospect. Drilling identified secondary redox gold anomalism on all drill lines intersecting the Sandshoes anomaly with peak values underlying areas of elevated gold-in-soil values. Numerous intersections above 50ppb were encountered, with better intercepts including 31m at 33ppb Au from 12m to end of hole (BAC0658), 8m @ 119ppb Au from 36m (BAC0614) and 8m at 180ppb Au from 40m (BAC0675), refer Figure 15.

Figure 15: Sandshoes and Dexter West Prospects – imaged gold-in-soil and aircore drill holes over imaged aeromagnetics (modified from ASX.BRB 27[th] August 2014 Announcement)
The drilling was unable to penetrate the inferred bedrock source of the Sandshoes gold-in-soil anomaly, a granite-cored sequence of greenstone situated on the eastern margin of the soil anomaly, due to the presence of a fresh conglomerate unit at the base of the Permian cover sequence. The conglomerate also affected drilling in the southern half of the anomaly, with most holes failing to reach Archaean bedrock. Transported cover varied from 9m to >90m in thickness, generally deeper to the south and east. Basement rocks when intersected, were dominated by granitoid with the maximum gold value in the basement rocks of 8m at 76ppb Au associated with sheared and veined granite.
Breaker planned to test the inferred bedrock source of the soil anomaly with RC drilling, interpreted to be a sheared greenstone sequence on the eastern margin of the anomaly. The drilling was not

Dexter North Area
Breaker Resources NL explored the area now occupied by E38/3509 as part of their Attila West Project. Breaker flew a detailed aeromagnetic/radiometric survey on 100m line spacing to provide baseline data for structural analysis during 2012.
Following the survey, Breaker completed wide-spaced aircore drilling targeting Archaean bedrock alteration beneath Permian cover rocks and to assess the thickness and nature of the cover rocks in the vicinity of structural features apparent from aeromagnetic data. A total of twenty-one (21) aircore drillholes for 982m were completed within the present-day boundary of E38/3509 (BAC0038-0047, BAC0051-0059, BAC0063 & BAC0083). The drilling confirmed generally thin (10m-25m) Permian cover, with localised areas of thicker cover possibly related to palaeochannels. Lithology is dominated by granitoid with localised amphibolite.
Multi-element auger geochemical drilling was undertaken following the drilling program across the entire Attila West Project. The reconnaissance program was conducted on a 1,600m x 400m pattern from a depth 0.5m to 1.0m. The main objective of the soil program was to scan for the geochemical footprint of large gold deposits.
The soil program successfully identified a series of coherent +4ppb gold-in-soil anomalies. The goldin-soil anomalies cluster around the margin of a large granite in the central part of the Project and are typically associated with elevated gold pathfinder elements, including molybdenum, arsenic, bismuth and silver, which Breaker believed to enhance their prospectivity.
The anomalies in the southern portion of the Atilla West Project (including E38/3509) were generally smaller in size but locally higher in magnitude. These anomalies are typically associated with magnetic discontinuities, including east-west trending faults and low magnetic zones marginal to the magnetic granite, interpreted by Breaker as partially consumed remnants of the Isolated Hills greenstone belt.

6.0 PROPOSED EXPLORATION AND USE OF FUNDS
It is the opinion of the author that Mt Monger’s Projects warrant further investigation. Mt Monger will undertake distinctly different exploration activities within each of the projects to achieve their exploration strategies.
Mt Monger will focus on under-explored portions of the projects, initially along strike and at depth from known mineralisation. Mt Monger aims to use advanced exploration techniques in conjunction with leading analytic and geophysical techniques to identify drill targets.
Initial work will include the validation of existing exploration data for both projects including drilling, geology, and geochemical samples, ensuring the accurate digital capture of all available data.
Mt Monger Gold Project
In Mt Monger’s opinion, the historical work carried out at the Mt Monger Gold Project has been highly encouraging and warrants follow up exploration. Exploration within the Mt Monger Gold Project will be focused on targeting extensions to known mineralisation and existing well-defined mineralised structures; with the subsequent application of the understanding from known structures to regional targets.

MT MONGER RESOURCES LIMITED INDEPENDENT GEOLOGIST’S REPORT

Mt Monger plans to undertake a reappraisal of the available datasets and field reconnaissance mapping (geology, structure and alteration) to define targets for drilling. Geophysical surveying will be used to assist in targeted prospects with less pronounced geological attributes.
RC and/or diamond drilling will be completed to confirm and expand historic prospects. Drilling will be prioritised at the Duchess of York Prospect to evaluate the economic potential of the prospect and to update the geological model.
Aircore/RAB drilling will be completed over previously untested geochemical, geological and geophysical targets. RC drilling will be completed to test the lateral and depth extents of mineralised identified.
From FRM’s assessment of the exploration data it is evident that the Mt Monger Gold Project and surrounds have been widely explored, but there are sizeable areas which remain to be systematically and adequately tested; particularly at depth with most of the drilling having been shallow (≤50m), and limited RC and diamond drilling has been completed.
Mt Monger has proposed a geologically driven exploration strategy which provides potential for the discovery of new gold deposits associated with known geochemical, geological and structural targets. FRM considers the project to be at an early to advanced stage of exploration; however, several conceptual targets remain untested and require further investigation.
East Laverton Gold Project
The East Laverton Gold Project is a large scale, greenfield-style gold project. The project has experienced limited drilling; however the eastern portion of the project has been the subject of extensive geochemistry sampling (refer Figure 13). A geochemical consultant will be engaged to appraise and interpret all geochemical datasets collected to date. Geochemical sampling will be completed on areas that have not been subjected to sampling in the past where suitable sampling mediums are evident. Targets identified will be the subject of reconnaissance and targeted geological and structural mapping, with the objective of defining targets for drilling. In line with the project having experienced limited drilling, Mt Monger’s exploration programs are geared towards reconnaissance-style drilling, which if proved positive can be followed by targeted RC and diamond drilling.
Historical work has identified several anomalies (geological, geophysical and geochemical) that require ground checking. Of particular note is the Seashorse Prospect, where exploration targeting kimberlite pipes encountered gneissic rocks similar to those from the Tropicana Gold Mine (AngloGold Ashanti Ltd and Independence Group NL Joint Venture). The presence of the favourable gneissic rocks was recognised at a later date and gold and pathfinder element analysis were completed, with encouraging gold and base metal results returned. The most popular model for Tropicana is that of reworked Archean gold, reported to be hosted by Archaean garnetiferous gneiss and quartzofeldpathic gneiss.
The eastern portion of the project is enhanced by a favourable structural setting, the presence of known anomalous soils and a proximity to known mineralisation. The Dexter Shear trends through the area and will be a focus for soil geochemistry to be followed by lines of aircore and RC drilling if encouragement is found to define gold mineralisation. Previous work has outlined the Sandshoes and Dexter West Prospect within this area which require further exploration.
Recent discoveries by Gold Road Resources Ltd (ASX:GOR, Gold Road) in the Yamarna Belt located about 80km east of the project, where a similar sand covered setting exists, illustrates important concepts which will be emulated by Mt Monger. At Yamarna coincident multi-element pathfinders and gold

geochemistry are helping to defining intrusion-related gold resources associated with north-south trending fault zones clearly defined in detailed aeromagnetic data.
The successes and explorations strategies and successes within the Yamarna Belt and the Tropicana discovery will guide Mt Monger’s exploration model for the project.

All costs are shown as an all-in inclusive cost, which includes the cost of drilling, sampling, assaying, personnel and other relevant costs. The proposed exploration budget and work programs are broadly in-line with the current exploration costs in Western Australia. FRM notes that exploration budget is sufficient to exceed Mt Monger’s minimum statutory expenditure obligations for the projects.
Mt Monger’s commitments to exploration activities satisfy the requirements of ASX Listing Rules 1.3.2(b) and 1.3.3(b). FRM also understands that Mt Monger will have sufficient working capital to carry out its stated objectives, satisfying the requirements of ASX listing Rules 1.3.3(a), following the minimum capital raising contemplated.
Mt Monger has indicated to FRM that they will undertake a systematic, staged approach with respect to their exploration program on their Mt Monger Gold Project and their East Laverton Gold Project, with prudent monitoring, assessing and refocusing of the exploration programs as necessary. FRM considers that the exploration strategy proposed by Mt Monger is consistent with the mineral potential and status of the projects.
FRM has reviewed Mt Monger’s proposed exploration activities and is of the opinion that the funds raised will be sufficient for the proposed program and that the programs are appropriate for the mineral potential and status of the projects. The exploration budget will be subject to modification on an ongoing basis depending on the results obtained from exploration activities as they progress.

Notes:
-
1 Due to the number of drillholes that have been completed within the Mt Monger Gold Project only RAB and Aircore drillholes deeper than 50m have been included in the table. All RC and DDH drillholes have been tabulated.
-
2 RL has not been included within the majoirty of open file reports, the project area is predominantely flat, with a nominal RL of 300m
-
3 RC = Reverse Circulation Drillhole; DD = Diamond Drillhole, RAB = Rotary Air Blast Drillhole, AC = Aicore Drillhole
-
4 Easting and Northing Coordinate System = UTM GDA94 Zone 51
-
5 Azimuth relative to true north

ANNEXURE B - JORC Code Table 1 for Exploration Results
Mt Monger Gold Project
The following tables are provided to ensure compliance with the JORC Code (2012 Edition) requirements for the reporting of the Exploration Results at the Mt Monger Gold Project.
Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data (Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections)
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Sampling techniques | Nature and quality of sampling (eg 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 (eg ‘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 (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. |
Several generations of sampling have been undertaken on the Mt Monger Gold Project since the 1960s. A large amount of drilling has previously been completed within the Project identifying some areas of supergene and primary gold anomalism. Drilling completed and compiled to date includes Rotary Air Blast (RAB) holes, Aircore (AC) holes, Reverse Circulation (RC) holes & diamond drill (DD) holes. The drilling results detailed in this report were from drilling undertaken by Western Mining Corporation Ltd (WMC), Hampton Hill Mining NL (Hampton Hill), Titan Resources NL (Titan), AurionGold Exploration Pty Ltd (AurionGold), Rubicon Resources Limited (Rubicon), Integra Mining Limited (Integra), Silver Lake Resources Ltd (Silver Lake), Ramsgate Resources NL (Ramsgate), Solomon (Australia) Pty Ltd (Solomon) and POZ Minerals Limited (POZ). Information regarding sampling details within open file Annual Reports is variable. Historical RAB, AC, RC and diamond holes are assumed to have been completed by previous holders to industry standard at that time. Given the exploratory stage of the Project and that mineral resources have not been established, FRM perceives the assumption to be sound. Where procedures are detailed within the open file reports they are summarised in the relevant sections of the table. |
| Drilling techniques | Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic etc) and details (e.g. core diameter, triple of standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is orientated and if so, by what method, etc). |
The project has experienced, diamond, reverse circulation, air core and rotary air blast drilling methods. Diamond core was by HQ core; however, no information on the type of tubing was available. Core orientations are no reported to have been completed. Information on RC drilling was not available (eg. no information on hammer size, hammer type). |
| Drill sample recovery | Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. |
The method of recording and assessing core and chip samples is not included in the majority of the open file reports. Historical RAB, AC, RC and diamond holes are assumed to have been completed by previous holders to industry standard at that time. Given the exploratory stage of the Project and that mineral resources have not been established, FRM perceives the assumption to be sound. The relationship between sample recovery and grade is not documented as to have been assessed by previous exploration companies. |
| Logging | Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography. The total length and percentage of the relevant |
Qualitative and quantitative logging of historic data varies in its completeness. Relevant items such as regolith, colour, oxidation, lithology, grain size, alteration, shearing, texture, veining, mineralogy, mineralisation (type and style) and additional relevant comments were recorded in the geological logs.

| intersections logged. | metallurgical studies are not applicable at this stage of exploration. The total length of the historic drilling logged has not been calculated, however it appears from reviewing the open file reports that all drill holes were logged in their entirety. |
|
| Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation |
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry. For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. Quality control procedures adopted for all sub- sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second- half sampling. Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. |
It is assumed that diamond drill core was cut down its longitudinal axis with half the core selected for assay in line with geological boundaries, and the remaining retained in the core tray. Details of the splitter and drill rig configuration are not routinely provided in annual reports. Review of the data suggests that RC drilling was predominantly sampled on one metre intervals. The quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique can not be determined for the historical drilling. Where sample preparation techniques are included in reports they are in line with standard industry practice, it is assumed that the practices employed during the respective drill programs followed standard industry practice in effect at the time. The majority of the work included is in excess of 20 years old and given that no detailed QA information and QC data can be presented raises some concerns about the reliability of the data. This has been taken into consideration in the presentation of the data. The material and sample sizes are considered appropriate given the style of mineralisation being targeted. |
| Quality of assay data and laboratory tests |
The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total. For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc. Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision have been established. |
The analytic methods for the various programs with significant results which have been tabled in Annexure A and are included in Tables within the body of the Report are outlined below. Standard laboratory QAQC involves the use of internal lab standards using certified reference material, blanks, splits and replicates as part of the in-house procedures. Open file reports vary in the information included; specific information includes: Hampton Hill: RAB samples were analysed by Ultra Trace, Bently. Method analysis was fire assay method for Au (lower detection limit 1ppb) and Pt and Pd (lower detection limit 5ppb) using a 50g charge with determination by ICPOES. RC samples were analysed by Ultra Trace Laboratories, Bentley. Method analysis was fire assay method to a 1ppb lower detection limit. Titan: RAB samples were analysed by Analabs for aqua regia gold analysis. Ramsgate: RAB samples analysed by Genalysis Perth. Sample digestion via aqua regia and sample analysis via graphite furnace B/AAS. This technique is considered total. Solomon: RC samples were assayed for gold by Fire Assay preparation of a 50g prill and AAS finish. This technique is considered total. AurionGold: DDH and RC samples were submitted to ALS Kalgoorlie and assayed for Au (50g Fire Assay) with a detection limit of 0.01ppm and As by XRF (5ppm detection limit). This technique is considered total. Standards and blank samples were inserted every 20 samples, and single metre splits were duplicated every 24 metres. |

| Rubicon: RAB and AC samples were submitted to ALS laboratory in Perth for analysis. The analysis method used for the composite samples was aqua regia extraction with ICP-MS finish using a 25g sample weight (Au-TL43). The method has a low level detection limit of 1ppb. Samples that returned a value of over 1.00ppm Au were reassayed using a fire assay method with AAS finish using a 30g sample weight (Au- AA25). RC samples were submitted to ALS laboratory in Perth for analysis. The analysis method used was fire assay with AAS finishing using a 30g sample weight (Au-AA23). The method has a low level detection limit of 0.005-10ppm. Integra: RAB and AC samples were submitted to Genalysis Laboratories for the analysis of Au, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn. RC samples were submitted to Genalysis Laboratories for the analysis of As, Au, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn. The gold was analysed via aqua-regia digest with solvent extraction and a graphite-furnace atomic absorption spectrometry finish. The multi-elements were anlaysed by aqua-regia digest and an optical emission spectrometry finish (ME-MS61). POZ: AC samples were submitted to Intertek’s Kalgoorlie preparation facility and the pulps transported to Perth, where they were Aqua Regia digested and analysed by ICPMS. Hand held assay devices have not been reported. Industry practice is assumed for historical drilling. Given the exploratory stage of the Project and that mineral resources have not been established, FRM perceives the assumption to be sound. |
||
| Verification of sampling and assaying |
The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel. The use of twinned holes. Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols. Discuss any adjustment to assay data. |
No verification of sampling and assaying has been undertaken by Mt Monger or FRM for the historical drilling. No specific twinned holes have been drilled. Data from previous drilling is currently being compiled by Mt Monger from open file reports. The digital data shows no indication of assay adjustment being performed. |
| Location of data points |
Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation. Specification of the grid system used. Quality and adequacy of topographic control. |
Drillholes were predominately located in the field with survey control via handheld Global Positioning System (GPS), with an assumed accuracy (dither factor) of ±5m accuracy on easting and northing and ±10m accuracy on RL. More recent drilling was surveyed utilising an RTK DGPS system with an accuracy of 0.1m lateral and 0.25m vertical. Deviation in the diamond holes is included within open file report. The survey method is not known, deviation is measured approximately each 50m. The grid system for the Mt Monger Gold Project is Map Grid of Australia GDA 94, Zone 51. No topographic controls are recorded within the open file reports, however topographic data obtained from the relevant 1:100,000 map gives a satisfactory control over the topography. The area is predominately flat. |
| Data spacing and distribution |
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and |
Drillhole locations are shown within figures within the body of the Report. Spacing of drillholes is variable. |

|---|---|---|
| Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied. Whether sample compositing has been applied. |
Data spacing and distribution within the general project (ie. not at advanced prospects) is deemed appropriate for identifying geochemical anomalies but could not be used to establish geological and grade continuity. The more advanced prospects have experienced increased spacing, however spacing is not deemed sufficient to establish geological and grade continuity for the purposes of establishing a mineral resource estimate. No mention of sample compositing has been found in open file reports. |
|
| Orientation of data in relation to geological structure |
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type. If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material. |
The majority of RAB and AC drilling was vertical which provides limited geological information. RC and diamond drilling was predominantly oriented based on geological understanding following surface mapping and known regional structures. Drilling was mostly orthogonal to the strike and dip of the known mineralised structures. The angled holes are believed to have adequately tested the mineralisation without introducing sampling bias. Potential orientation for mineralisation are shown within the cross sections within the body of the Report. These suggest unbiased sampling of possible structures. |
| Sample security | The measures taken to ensure sample security. | There is no documentation on sample security for the samples available in the open file reports. |
| Audits or reviews | The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. |
Mt Monger are not aware of any historic external audits or reviews of the sampling techniques and data. At this early stage of project acquisition, Mt Monger has not completed a review of the sampling techniques and data has been initiated or is possible for the historic drilling data. |

| Exploration done by other parties |
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
Refer to the “Exploration History” Section within the Report. |
| Geology | Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
Refer to the “Geology and Mineralisation” Section within the Report. |
| 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 hole collar locations, depths, azimuths and dips are provided within this Report (Annexure A of this Report) for RC and DD drillholes. Due to the number of drillholes that have been completed within the Mt Monger Gold Project only RAB and Aircore drillholes deeper than 50m or those from the significant intercept table have been tabulated. All drillholes are shown in the figures. All relevant information has been included. |
| 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. |
For the reporting of significant intercepts, 0.5g/t Au lower cut-off, 1m minimum reporting length, 5m maximum length of consecutive interval waste and the minimum grade for the final composite of 0.5g/t Au. No metal equivalent values are currently being used for reporting exploration results. |

| 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’). |
Widths of mineralisation are not known. All mineralised intervals quoted in this Report are quoted as downhole lengths only such that the exact geometry of the mineralisation is not known. Drilling orientation of RC and DD drillholes is based on geological understanding following surface mapping and known regional structures. Angled drill holes are believed to adequately test mineralisation bias and reinforce geological assumptions held from surface and regional observations. The relationship of the intercept lengths in relation to the known mineralisation widths is shown in the figures of the Report. |
| Diagrams | Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views. |
Refer to Figures in body of text. |
| 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. |
All representative results have been reported. |
| 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. |
No other substantive exploration data is known. All relevant exploration data is shown on figures, in text and in Annexure A. |
| Further work | The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling). Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive. |
A follow up exploration work program has been proposed and is outlined in the Report. Future work will largely be focused on the interpretation and targeting based on historic data; and the subsequent drilling of targets. All relevant diagrams and inferences have been illustrated in this report. |

ANNEXURE C - JORC Code Table 1 for Exploration Results
East Laverton Gold Project
The following tables are provided to ensure compliance with the JORC Code (2012 Edition) requirements for the reporting of the Exploration Results at the East Laverton Project.
Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data (Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections)
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |

Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. |
There has been limited previous exploration within the East Laverton Gold Project. Earliest exploration within the area was during the nickel boom of the late 1960s and early 19702 but there is little documentation of this work. Subsequent exploration programs focused on the diamond potential of the area with Stockdale Prospecting exploring the area for kimberlites during the 1990s. Diamond exploration intersected nickel mineralisation in an aircore drillhole which subsequently led to exploration programs focusing on nickel mineralisation. Other programs focused on looking for uranium with work restricted to the palaeochannels. Programs have been predominately regional in nature. Drilling completed and compiled to date includes Rotary Air Blast (RAB) holes, Aircore (AC) holes, Reverse Circulation (RC) holes & diamond drill (DD) holes. The drilling results detailed in this report were from drilling undertaken by Beadell Resources Ltd (Beadell), BHP Minerals Ltd (BHP) , Breaker Resources NL (Breaker), Caldera Resources Pty Ltd (Caldera), Crescent Gold Limited (Crescent), Dominion Gold Operations Pty Ltd (Dominion), Eucalyptus Nickel NL (Eucalyptus), Gemcoral Holdings Pty Ltd (Gemcoral), Image Resources NL (Image), Independence Group NL (IGO), Placer Exploration Limited (Placer), Quadrant Resources Pty Ltd (Quadrant), Stockdale Prospecting Ltd (Stockdale), Trigg Mining Ltd (Trigg), Victory Mines Ltd (Victory), Voyager Gold NL (Voyager), Western Mining Corporation (WMC) and White Cliff Nickel Limited (White Cliff). Information regarding sampling details within open file Annual Reports is variable. Historical RAB, AC, RC and diamond holes are assumed to have been completed by previous holders to industry standard at that time. Given the exploratory stage of the Project and that mineral resources have not been established, FRM perceives the assumption to be sound. Where procedures are detailed within the open file reports they are summarised as follows: Beadell: Generally, 5m composite samples were taken down the hole with a separate 1m sample collected of the fresh basement for multi-element work. Breaker: Drill cuttings were laid out directly on the ground in 1m piles; four metre composite samples (Au analysis) were collected via quarter-pile sampling using an aluminium scoop. One metre bottom of hole samples were collected for multi-element analysis from holes that intersected Archean bedrock. Break soil sampling results was conventional soil sampling minus 200 mesh (75 micron). IGO: AC samples were collected on the ground by using a standard scoop. Most of the samples were 4m composites,if notpossible to do so,a 1 to 3m |

| composite was selected. Image: Drill spoils were scoop-sampled in 4m composites. All were assayed for ppb-level Au, samples representing weathered bedrock were selectively assayed for Cu, Ni, Pt and Pd. Voyager: 10m scoop sampled composites. White Cliff: Samples were collected from the piles of drill cuttings for each metre of drilling using the spear or scoop method. The samples were composited into 4 metre intervals. |
||
| Drilling techniques | Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic etc) and details (e.g. core diameter, triple of standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is orientated and if so, by what method, etc). |
Diamond core samples – a rock roller bit through the palaeochannel overburden and then NQ2 to the bottom of hole. Further details are not included in the White Cliff annual technical reports. Breaker AC drilling was carried out using a 3½“ blade bit to refusal, generally at the fresh rock interface. Other RAB, AC, RC drillholes are assumed to have been completed using standard methods. |
| Drill sample recovery | Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. |
The method of recording and assessing core and chip samples is not included in the majority of the open file reports. Historical RAB, AC, RC and diamond holes are assumed to have been completed by previous holders to industry standard at that time. Breaker AC samples were generally dry with isolated damp samples. AC drill recoveries were visually estimated as a semi-quantitative range and recorded in the log. Recoveries were generally excellent (≥90%), with reduced recovery in the initial near-surface sample. Breaker stated that there was no observable relationship between recovery and grade, or preferential bias in the AC drilling. The relationship between sample recovery and grade is not documented as to have been assessed by previous exploration companies. |
| Logging | Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography. The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. |
Qualitative and quantitative logging of historic data varies in its completeness. Relevant items such as regolith, colour, oxidation, lithology, grain size, alteration, shearing, texture, veining, mineralogy, mineralisation (type and style) and additional relevant comments were recorded in the geological logs. Logging is appropriate for the stage of the project. Mineral Resource estimations, mining studies and metallurgical studies would not be applicable at this stage of exploration. The total length of the historic drilling logged has not been calculated, however it appears from reviewing the open file reports that all drill holes were logged in their entirety. |
| Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation |
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry. For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. Quality control procedures adopted for all sub- sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situ material collected, |
Due to the historic nature of the drilling results reported herein, it is not possible to comment on all of the methods of sampling, sampling techniques and sample preparation methodology. Quality control procedures involved the use of Certified Reference Materials (CRM) along with field sample duplicates. Breaker sample duplicates were taken three times in every 100 samples. No studies have been undertaken to determine whether the sample size was appropriate for the grain size of the material sampled. |

The analytic methods for the programs with significant results which have been tabled in Annexure A and are included in Tables within the body of the Report are outlined below. Breaker: The 4m composite samples and the end of hole samples were submitted to MinAnalytical Laboratory Services Australia Pty Ltd (Perth) for gold analysis (10g aqua regia ICP MS, 1ppb detection, lab code AR10MS). The 1m bottom-of-hole samples were submitted to MinAnalytical Laboratory Services Australia Pty Ltd (Perth) for multi-element analysis (60 Elements ICP-OES / ICP-MS Package, 15g four acid digest). Caldera: Ultratrace Laboratory, Perth. Methods as follows: Au determined by Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) Optical Emission Spectrometry. The samples have been analysed by Firing a 40 gm (approximately) portion of the sample. Lower sample weights may be employed for samples with very high sulphide and metal contents. This is the classical fire assay process and will give total separation of Gold. Platinum and Palladium in the sample. Ag, As, Ba, Bi, Cd, Li, Mo, Ni, Sb, Se, Sn, Te,Tl, W, Zr determined by Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) Mass Spectrometry. The sample(s) have been digested and refluxed with a mixture of Acids including Hydrofluoric, Nitric, Hydrochloric and Perchloric Acids. This extended digest approaches a Total digest for many elements however some refractory minerals are not completely attacked. Co, Cu, Mg, S, V, Zn determined by Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) Optical Emission Spectrometry. The samples have been fused with Sodium Peroxide and subsequently the melt has been dissolved in dilute Hydrochloric acid for analysis. Because of the high furnace temperatures, volatile elements are lost. This procedure is particularly efficient for determination of major element composition (including Silica) in the samples or for the determination of refractory mineral species. Image: Laboratory is unknown; however, the original assay files are included within the annual technical report; analysis for Au, Pd, Pt (method B/MS), Cu, Ni (method B/AAS) Handheld assay devices have not been reported. Information on quality control procedures is not available. |
| Verification of sampling and assaying |
The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel. The use of twinned holes. Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols. Discuss any adjustment to assay data. |
No verification of sampling and assaying has been undertaken by Mt Monger or FRM for the historical drilling. No specific twinned holes have been drilled. Data from previous drilling is currently being compiled by Mt Monger from open file reports. The digital data shows no indication of assay adjustment being performed. |

| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Location of data points |
Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation. Specification of the grid system used. Quality and adequacy of topographic control. |
Drillholes were predominately located in the field with survey control via handheld Global Positioning System (GPS), with an assumed accuracy (dither factor) of ±5m accuracy on easting and northing and ±10m accuracy on RL. More recent drilling was surveyed utilising an RTK DGPS system. Deviation in the diamond holes is included in the White Cliff annual technical open file report. Down-hole surveys were collected at approximately 30m intervals using a gyroscopic down-hole surveying tool. The survey tool utilised was the Reflex EZ-Shot (WCDD001) and Reflex multi-shot digital (WCDD003). The grid system for the East Laverton Gold Project is Map Grid of Australia GDA 94, Zone 51. No topographic controls are recorded within the open file reports, however topographic data obtained from the relevant 1:100,000 map gives a satisfactory control over the topography. The area is predominately flat. This is considered acceptable for these regional style exploration activities. |
| Data spacing and distribution |
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied. Whether sample compositing has been applied. |
Drillhole locations are shown within figures within the body of the Report. Spacing of drillholes is variable. Sample spacing within the general project (ie. not at advanced prospects) is deemed appropriate for identifying geochemical anomalies but could not be used to establish geological and grade continuity. Sample compositing has not been applied. |
| Orientation of data in relation to geological structure |
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type. If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material. |
The majority of RAB and AC drilling was vertical which provides limited geological information. RC and diamond drilling was predominantly oriented based on geological understanding following surface mapping and known regional structures. Drilling was mostly orthogonal to the strike and dip of the known mineralised structures. The angled holes are believed to have adequately tested the mineralisation without introducing sampling bias. |
| Sample security | The measures taken to ensure sample security. | There is no documentation on sample security for the samples available in the open file reports. |
| Audits or reviews | The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. |
Mt Monger are not aware of any historic external audits or reviews of the sampling techniques and data. At this early stage of project acquisition, Mt Monger has not completed a review of the sampling techniques and data has been initiated or is possible for the historic drilling data. |

The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |
length, 5m maximum length of consecutive interval waste and the minimum grade for the final composite of 2,000ppm Ni. The mineralised widths are downhole lengths, the orientation of the mineralisation is unknown. No metal equivalent values are currently being used for reporting exploration results. |
|
| 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’). |
Widths of mineralisation have not been are not known. All mineralised intervals quoted in this Report are quoted as downhole lengths only such that the exact geometry of the mineralisation is not known. Drilling orientation was based on geological understanding following surface mapping and known regional structures. Angled drill holes are believed to adequately test mineralisation bias and reinforce geological assumptions held from surface and regional observations. |
| Diagrams | Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views. |
Refer to Figures in body of text. |
| 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. |
All representative results have been reported. |
| 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. |
No other substantive exploration data is known. All relevant exploration data is shown on figures, in text and in Annexure A. |
| Further work | The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling). Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive. |
A follow up exploration work program has been proposed and is outlined in the Report. Future work will largely be focused on the interpretation and targeting based on historic data; and the subsequent drilling of targets. All relevant diagrams and inferences have been illustrated in this report. |
