EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolution.
1. RESOLUTION 1 – DISPOSAL OF INTERESTS IN LITHIUM PROJECTS
1.1 General
Under Listing Rules 11.4 and 11.4.1, a listed Company can only dispose of an interest in a major asset if:
-
(a) the securities in its child entity (other than those being retained by the company) are being offered, issued or transferred pro rata to the holders of the ordinary shares in the company, or in another way that, in ASX’s opinion, is fair in all the circumstances; or
-
(b) the company’s shareholders approve of the disposal.
The Spin Out to Winsome Resources Limited (further details of which are set out in this Section 1 and Section 2) is considered to be a disposal of a major asset for these purposes and paragraph (a) above does not apply, so it is a requirement for the Spin Out to proceed that Shareholders approve the Spin Out under paragraph (b) above.
Resolution 1 seeks the required Shareholder approval to the Spin Out under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 11.4.1(b).
If Resolution 1 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the Spin Out and dispose of its interest in the Cancet Lithium Project, Adina Lithium Project and the Sirmac-Clapier Lithium Project by virtue of the sale of all of the shares in Metalstech Sirmac, Metalstech Adina and Metalstech Cancet (the owners of the Lithium Projects) to Winsome and continue to focus on its existing project opportunities, as well as exploring new projects with the aim of delivering value to its Shareholders.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the Spin Out and it will not dispose of its interest in the Lithium Projects. Additionally, if Resolution 1 is not passed, the In-Specie Distribution (defined below) and the proposed initial public offer by Winsome will not be able to proceed.
The Company considers that the Spin Out, proceeding on the basis of Shareholder’s Listing Rule 11.4.1(b) approval, without the offer, issue or transfer referred to in Listing Rule 11.4.1(a) is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders because of the advantages listed in Section 1.6.
1.2 Major Asset and Consideration for the Lithium Projects
Pursuant to Guidance Note 13, ASX will regard an asset to be a major asset if its disposal will result in a decrease of 25% or more in any of the following measures:
-
(a) consolidated total assets;
-
(b) consolidated total equity interests;
-
(c) consolidated annual revenue, or in the case of a mining exploration entity, oil and gas exploration entity or other entity that is no earning material revenue from operations, consolidated annual expenditure;
4
4319-07/2641556_16
-
(d) consolidated EBITDA; or
-
(e) consolidated annual profit before tax,
or if the value of the consideration received by the listing entity and its security holders for disposing of the asset exceeds 25% of its consolidated total assets.
As set out at Section 1.1 above, the sale of all of the shares in each of Metalstech Sirmac, Metalstech Adina and Metalstech Cancet to Winsome will result in the Company’s interest in the Subsidiaries and the Lithium Projects reducing to nil.
1.3 Value of the Assets
The value of the assets is estimated by the Board to be $9,000,000.
In the event the Spin Out is completed and the Minimum Subscription is raised, Winsome will have a market capitalisation (based on a $0.20 issue price under the Capital Raising) of $21,100,000 and cash (before expenses and administrative costs incurred during the transaction process) of approximately $12,000,000.
As the Lithium Projects are exploration assets, the Company has not earned any revenue from the Lithium Projects.
1.4 Effect of the disposal of interests in the Lithium Projects
The pro-forma statement of the financial position of the Company showing the financial effect of the Spin Out of the Lithium Projects on the Company as at 31 December 2020 is set out in Schedule 2.
The Spin Out will:
-
(a) enable the Company to redirect funds toward exploration at the Company’s 100% owned Sturec Gold Mine, located in Slovakia, with a net result being an anticipated reduction of total exploration expenditure of approximately $1,000,000 (being the amount which the Company would have otherwise directed towards exploration of the Lithium Projects);
-
(b) not impact the capital structure of the Company (other than in relation to the In-Specie Distribution the subject of Resolution 2);
-
(c) not have a dilutionary effect on the Shareholders; and
-
(d) not result in any changes to the Board or Company name.
Shareholders will not be impacted by the Spin Out, other than to the extent of the Company’s divestment of the Company’s interest in the Lithium Projects.
1.5 Intention following disposal of the interests in the Lithium Projects
By virtue of completing the Spin Out, the Company will receive 45,000,001 Winsome Shares. Subject to the approval of Resolution 2, the Company intends to conduct an equal reduction whereby the capital of the Company will be reduced, without cancelling any Shares, by an amount equal to the market value (as assessed by the Directors) of 45,000,001 Winsome Shares with effect as at 5.00pm (WST) on the Record Date and the reduction be satisfied by the Company distributing and transferring the 45,000,001 Winsome Shares to the Shareholders of the Company in accordance with Resolution 2.
5
4319-07/2641556_16
Accordingly, completion of the Spin Out will result in a freeing up of funds for the Company to further explore its flagship Sturec Gold Project without the need to raise additional capital and potentially diluting existing Shareholders.
The Company will also continue to review project opportunities in the exploration and project development space with a view to maximise Shareholder value.
1.6
Advantages of the disposal of the interests in the Lithium Projects
The Directors believe that the following non-exhaustive list of advantages may be relevant to a Shareholder’s decision on how to vote on Resolution 1 as it will allow the Company to:
-
(a) retain an indirect interest in the Lithium Projects by virtue of the proposed In-Specie Distribution of Winsome Shares;
-
(b) focus its efforts on its existing portfolio of assets;
-
(c) divest of the Lithium Projects to Winsome which will have a dedicated management team and a dedicated funding strategy directed towards developing the Lithium Projects;
-
(d) direct funds towards the evaluation of further asset acquisitions in the exploration and project development space; and
-
(e) extract value for its Shareholders through the commercialisation and monetisation of the Lithium Projects via the proposed In-Specie Distribution of Winsome Shares.
In addition, the Winsome IPO will allow Winsome to advance the Lithium Projects, which Shareholders will continue to hold an interest in by virtue of the In-Specie Distribution.
1.7 Disadvantages of the disposal of the interests in the Lithium Projects
The Directors believe that the following non-exhaustive list of disadvantages may be relevant to a Shareholder’s decision on how to vote on Resolution 1:
-
(a) the proposed disposal involves the Company reducing its interest in a major asset (as discussed in Sections 1.2 and 1.6), which may not be consistent with the investment objectives of all Shareholders; and
-
(b) subject to the Company’s further consultation in respect of any further asset acquisitions, there may be significant re-compliance costs associated with the acquisition of new assets if ASX determine that such acquisitions require full re-compliance with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules.
1.8 Indicative Timetable
The below timetable is a summary of the dates relevant to the Spin Out and future dates are indicative only and subject to change:
| **Event1 ** | Date |

1.9 Implications if the disposal of the interests in the Lithium Projects does not proceed
In the event that Resolution 1 is not passed and/ or for any other reason the Company does not dispose of its interest in the Lithium Projects, it will, amongst other things:
-
(a) continue to hold 100% of the Lithium Projects via its Subsidiaries, and continue to investigate opportunities to obtain value from the Lithium Projects;
-
(b) explore opportunities for the Company to raise equity capital to enable it to fund exploration activities at the Lithium Projects; and
-
(c) continue to undertake exploration activities in respect of its Sturec Gold Mine located in Slovakia.

2. RESOLUTION 2 – APPROVAL FOR AN EQUAL REDUCTION OF CAPITAL AND IN-SPECIE DISTRIBUTION
2.1 Background on the Company and its existing projects
The Company is listed on the ASX and is currently focussed on the exploration and development of its 100% owned Sturec Gold Mine, located in Slovakia.
In February 2020, the Company announced that it had completed the acquisition of Ortac Resources (UK) Limited, the 100% owner of Ortac s.r.o., which owns a 100% interest in the the Sturec Gold Mine located in Slovakia ( Sturec Gold Project ).
At the date of acquisition, the Sturec Gold Project hosted a JORC (2004) Measured and Indicated Resource of 1.01 million oz at 2.05g/t Au Eq (15.4Mt @ 2.05g/t Au Eq at a cut-off grade of 0.4g/t Au Eq) plus a JORC (2004) Inferred Resource of an additional 310,000 oz at 0.99g/t Au Eq (9.7Mt @ 0.99g/t Au Eq at a cut-off grade of 0.4g/t Au Eq), estimated by Snowden Mining Industry Consultants in April 2012.
Following the acquisition of the Sturec Gold Project, the Company updated the Mineral Resource estimate in line with JORC (2012) guidelines as 21.2Mt @ 1.50 g/t Au and 11.6 g/t Ag (1.59g/t AuEq), containing 1.026Moz of gold and 7.94Moz of silver (1.086Moz of gold equivalent) using a 0.4g/t Au cut-off within an optimised open pit shell; as well as 388kt @ 3.45 g/t Au and 21.6 g/t Ag (3.60g/t AuEq1), containing 43koz of gold and 270koz of silver (45koz of gold equivalent) outside the optimised open pit shell on an underground mining basis.
Since completing the acquisition of the Sturec Gold Project, the Company has made significant progress including the securing of additional underground mining permits, completion of additional metallurgical testwork and building a successful in-country management and geological team under the guidance of Dr Quinton Hills, the exploration manager for the Company.
In July 2020, the Company commenced its maiden underground diamond drilling program from within the Andrej Adit at the Sturec Gold Project. As part of the Phase I drilling campaign, the Company completed sixteen (16) diamond drill holes for approximately 3,000 m.
Drilling for the Phase II program is currently underway.
Following completion of the Phase I drilling program and during the Quarter ended 30 June 2021, the Company announced a 44% increase to the JORC (2012) Mineral Resource Estimate at the Sturec Gold Project in Slovakia following completion of the Phase I Underground Diamond Drilling Program.
8
4319-07/2641556_16
The Sturec Gold Project now hosts a JORC (2012) Resource of 38.5Mt @ 1.23 g/t Au and 8.8 g/t Ag, containing 1.522Moz of gold and 10.93Moz of silver using a 0.26g/t Au cut-off. The Mineral Resource also includes a higher-grade subset of 6.25Mt @ 3.27 g/t Au and 19.4 g/t Ag containing 658Koz of gold and 3.89Moz of silver using a cut-off grade of 2 g/t Au.
Of material significance, 93% of the Mineral Resource is in the Measured and Indicated categories, representing a high degree of confidence in the geological structure.
Recent drilling by the Company has intersected a southerly plunging, high-grade mineralisation zone which has significantly contributed to the increase in the size and confidence of the Mineral Resource.
The deposit at the Sturec Gold Project remains open to the north and south along strike, as well as down-dip, indicating there is significant exploration upside and drilling is set to begin again in the coming weeks.
As part of the ongoing development of the Sturec Gold Project, the Company is investigating the potential of a high grade and low impact bulk underground mining operation at Sturec focusing on the higher-grade tonnes within the Mineral Resource and intends to commence a scoping study shortly.
Since acquiring the Sturec Gold Project, the Company moved quickly to demonstrate the metallurgical characteristics of the ore body undertaking an initial bulk sample testing program which concluded that based on a simple gravity separation and flotation basis, the Company is able to recover up to 88% of the gold prior to any leaching process, and if leaching is undertaken, the gold recovery increases to 98%.
Drilling results to date include:
-
(a) 70m @ 9.23 g/t Au and 7.8 g/t Ag (UGA-16);
-
(b) 90m @ 3.88 g/t Au and 13.9 g/t Ag (UGA-04);
-
(c) 70m @ 3.43 g/t Au and 14.7 g/t Ag (UGA-06);
-
(d) 32m @ 4.62 g/t Au and 17.5 g/t Ag (UGA-05);
-
(e) 73m @ 2.14 g/t Au & 8.8 g/t Ag (UGA-03);
-
(f) 24m @ 2.28 g/t Au and 11.5 g/t Ag (UGA-07); and
-
(g) 35m @ 3.73 g/t Au and 11.6 g/t Ag (UGA-12).
The Company also set a new record bonanza result of 1m @ 584g/t Au & 333g/t Ag from 41m down hole in last hole (UGA-16) of the Phase I drill program at the flagship Sturec Gold Project in Slovakia.
The Company has also reported multiple showings of visible gold and additional bonanza grades over 1m intervals including 89.1 g/t Au in UGA-04, 80.3 g/t Au in UGA-05 and 77.7 g/t Au in UGA-06.
In addition, the Company has completed the engineering phase to enable the construction of additional exploration roadways, including an extension to the main Adrej Adit and an additional exploration roadway to the west. This will
9
4319-07/2641556_16
enable multiple drill rig access and capability and enable an enlarged exploration campaign to be completed.
The Company has secured the opportunity to turn a well-established brownfield open cut project into a more sustainable high-grade underground gold mine. The current resource has been largely modelled and reported on an open cut basis with a very small underground component however the Company intends to remodel the existing resource on a predominantly underground basis in the future, incorporating the continued drilling success from our current program, with a view to delivering a scoping study based on an underground mining concept with a potentially simple low capex processing strategy.
Additionally, following reporting of excellent drilling results at Sturec Gold Project, the Company has received significant interest from strategic gold mining groups, including significant groups out of China and the board has been busy cultivating its relationships in this area to ensure that as the gold sector continues to strengthen over the next 12 months, particularly with respect to M&A activity, the Company is prepared.
Further details with respect to the Company’s existing projects are set out in the Company’s ASX announcements including the Quarterly Activities Report released on 30 July 2021.
2.2 Overview of the Proposal
As announced on 17 March 2021, the Company is proposing, subject to Shareholder approval, to dispose of its interest in the Lithium Projects by selling all of the shares in Metalstech Adina Lithium Inc, Metalstech Cancet Lithium Inc and Metalstech Sirmac Lithium Inc to its subsidiary company Winsome Resources Limited ( Spin-out ) pursuant to three share sale agreements ( Acquisition Agreements ). It is intended that Winsome will undertake an initial public offer of its securities to facilitate an ASX listing in conjunction with the Spin-out ( Winsome IPO ). It is Winsome’s current intention that the Winsome IPO will include a form of priority offer to existing Shareholders of MTC, whilst also providing an opportunity for new investors to invest in Winsome.
Further details with respect to the Lithium Projects are set out in the Independent Geologist Report in Schedule 1. The material terms of the Acquisition Agreements are set out in Schedule 5.
The Spin-out is proposed to comprise the following steps:
-
(a) preparation of a full-form prospectus by Winsome pursuant to which Winsome will seek to raise a minimum of $12,000,000 via the issue of Winsome Shares at an issue price of $0.20 per Winsome Share ( Minimum Subscription ), Winsome raising the Minimum Subscription and Winsome receiving a letter confirming that the ASX will admit Winsome to the Official List of the ASX, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions on terms acceptable to Winsome;
-
(b) completion of the Acquisition Agreements and issue of the Winsome Consideration Shares and the Winsome Shares the subject of the Winsome IPO; and
-
(c) in accordance with the timetable set out in the Important Notices section above, MTC distributing and transferring the Winsome Consideration Shares in-specie to Eligible MTC Shareholders on a pro-rata basis ( Inspecie Distribution ).
10
4319-07/2641556_16
The In-specie Distribution will be effected by an equal reduction of MTC’s capital. Eligible MTC Shareholders will receive an in-specie return of capital by way of the distribution of the Winsome Consideration Shares in proportion to the number of MTC Shares held by them at the Record Date. Eligible MTC Shareholders will thereby receive a direct ownership interest in Winsome whilst still maintaining their ownership interest in MTC.
Subject to satisfaction of the In-Specie Conditions set out in Section 2.3 below, Winsome will be de-merged from MTC following completion of the In-Specie Distribution.
Upon listing, Winsome will hold 100% of the shares in each of Metalstech Adina Lithium Inc, Metalstech Cancet Lithium Inc and Metalstech Sirmac Lithium Inc, giving it a 100% interest in the rights, title and interests in the Lithium Projects, as further detailed in the Independent Geologist Report in Schedule 1.
Structure diagrams of the proposed arrangements immediately before and after the Spin-out and Winsome IPO are set out in Section 2.5.
2.3 Conditions to the Proposal
The In-specie Distribution will only proceed if the following conditions are met (together, the In-specie Conditions ):
-
(a) MTC obtains Shareholder approval for the disposal of the Lithium Projects (the subject of Resolution 1) and the In-specie Distribution (the subject to Resolution 2);
-
(b) Winsome raises the minimum subscription amount of $12,000,000 pursuant to a prospectus to be lodged by Winsome for the Winsome IPO; and
-
(c) Winsome receiving a letter confirming that the ASX will admit Winsome to the official list of ASX, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions on terms acceptable to Winsome; and
-
(d) completion of the Acquisition Agreements.
2.4
Rationale for the Proposal
The Company’s primary purpose in undertaking the Proposal is to separate the Lithium Projects from its other assets. Specifically, the Proposal is being undertaken to achieve the following commercial objectives:
-
(a) the Spin-out allows the Company to focus its efforts on its existing portfolio of gold assets, including the development of its flagship asset, the Sturec Gold Project;
-
(b) the Spin-out of the Lithium Projects will continue to give the Company’s shareholders the opportunity to participate in the growth of the Lithium Projects through a separate entity that will have sufficient resources to further develop the asset;
-
(c) the Spin-out will provide separate funding channels for Winsome and the Lithium Projects (including the Winsome IPO), thereby allowing the Company to conserve its cash resources; and
-
(d) the Company considers the Lithium Projects to be non-core to its strategic objectives. The Board considers that the value of the Lithium Projects is not recognised in MTC’s share price and believes there is presently an
11
4319-07/2641556_16
opportunity to separate the Lithium Projects into a standalone company with specific commodity and management focus. The Board believes that this will allow for a better focus on the advancement of the Lithium Projects and should enable a more transparent market value to be placed on the Lithium Projects.
Assuming the Company proceeds with the Proposal, it is intended that Winsome will undertake and be funded by the Winsome IPO. Please refer to Section 2.6 for details.
Following realisation of the Proposal, MTC expects its primary focus will be on continuing to develop the Sturec Gold Project.
The Company will also continue to review project opportunities in the exploration and project development space with a view to maximise Shareholder value.
2.5 Corporate structure
In the event Resolutions 1 and 2 are passed, the Company proceeds with the Proposal and the In-specie Conditions are satisfied, the restructure of MTC and Winsome will occur as follows assuming completion of the In-specie Distribution:

2.6 Winsome IPO and information on Winsome
Winsome’s business will be created, initially, via the acquisition of the Lithium Projects. Upon listing on the ASX, Winsome will also look to pursue other opportunities in the resources sector that will add value for Shareholders.
As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, Winsome has agreed to acquire all of the shares of Metalstech Adina Lithium Inc, Metalstech Cancet Lithium Inc and
13
4319-07/2641556_16
Metalstech Sirmac Lithium Inc, the holders of the Lithium Projects, from MTC. Refer to Schedule 5 for a summary of the Acquisition Agreements.
As noted above, it is intended that, in conjunction with the Proposal, Winsome will undertake the Winsome IPO and complete the Acquisition Agreements in order to facilitate the admission of Winsome to the official list of the ASX. Current MTC Shareholders will not be required to contribute additional funds to give effect to the Winsome IPO. It is, however, Winsome’s current intention that the Winsome IPO will include a form of priority offer to existing MTC Shareholders (at an issue price of $0.20 per share).
At present, it is expected that Winsome will seek to raise up to $18,000,000 under the Winsome IPO (by the issue of up to 90,000,000 Winsome Shares assuming an issue price of $0.20 each) pursuant to a prospectus to be lodged around 8 October 2021. Shareholders should note the proposed structure and terms of the Winsome IPO are, at the date of this Notice, indicative only and that Winsome reserves the right to amend the proposed structure and terms (including offering a larger or smaller number of shares in Winsome). MTC will keep Shareholders updated in respect of the Winsome IPO.
MTC will be responsible for meeting all required tenement expenditure on the Lithium Projects until completion of the Acquisition Agreements, at which time Winsome will assume responsibility for all costs associated with the Lithium Projects.
MTC has also agreed to fund Winsome’s expenses in respect of the Proposal and the Winsome IPO (e.g. legal and other fees incurred in the preparation of documentation giving effect to the Winsome IPO).
The Winsome Board will then seek to advance the Lithium Projects in the manner in which it considers to be in the best interests of Winsome Shareholders at the relevant time and based on its ability to fund those intentions. However, the Company notes and confirms, that there is no guarantee that the Company will proceed with the Spin-out, or the In-specie Distribution or that the Winsome IPO will be successful and result in a listing on ASX.
In the short term, Winsome would be focused on exploration activities at the Lithium Projects. Over the medium term, Winsome would be focused on delivering value to its shareholders through the continued exploration and development of the Lithium Projects and any additional assets that may be acquired at a future point in time. Further details will be included in the Winsome IPO prospectus which will be circulated to all MTC Shareholders.
The Winsome IPO will ensure Winsome is financed to embark on an evaluation and exploration program of the Lithium Projects. Winsome’s initial exploration focus is directed predominately towards lithium in the established mineral districts of Canada. Please refer to the Independent Geologist Report in Schedule 1 for further details of the Lithium Projects and to Section 2.7 below for the proposed work programme and expenditure budget for each project.
The information contained in this Section in respect of the potential future prospects of Winsome should be read together with the risk factors set out in Schedule 4.
2.7 Background of the Lithium Projects and proposed Project Development Plan
A summary of each of the Lithium Projects including information on prospectivity is set out in the Independent Geologist Report in Schedule 1.
14
4319-07/2641556_16

The above table are statements of Winsome’s intentions as of the date of this Notice and assumes completion of the Winsome IPO and the Acquisition Agreements. As with any budget, intervening events including, but not limited to, exploration success or failure and new circumstances have the potential to affect the manner in which the funds are ultimately applied. Winsome reserves the right to alter the way funds are applied on this basis. Further, the above table will be subject to change in the event Winsome amends the proposed structure and terms of the Winsome IPO.
Further details of the development plan and budget proposed for each of the Lithium Projects will be included in the Winsome IPO prospectus. Refer to Schedule 1 for details of the licences which cover each project and previous exploration undertaken. The key risks which will face Winsome and exploration of the Lithium Projects are set out in Schedule 4.
The balance of the proceeds raised from the Winsome IPO are proposed to be applied as follows assuming maximum subscription and oversubscriptions to $18,000,000):
-
(a) evaluation of other complementary asset opportunities: $600,000;
-
(b) expenses of the Winsome IPO: $360,000; and
-
(c) working capital: $3,090,000.
2.8 Capital Reduction – General
MTC seeks Shareholder approval under Resolution 2 to enable MTC to reduce its capital by the distribution of specific assets to Shareholders, being 45,000,001 Winsome Shares.
The Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules set out the procedure and timing for a capital reduction. Refer to the Important Notices section of this Notice of Meeting for an indicative timetable in respect of the Proposal. The alteration to the Company’s capital and the In-specie Distribution will become effective from
17
4319-07/2641556_16
the Record Date provided that after the Record Date has been set, the Directors have not provided a notice to ASX stating that the Company does not intend to proceed with the reduction of capital contemplated by Resolution 2.
Assuming that the In-specie Conditions are met and that the Company proceeds with the Proposal, the Record Date to determine entitlements of Shareholders to participate in the In-specie Distribution is no later than 3 business days after Shareholder approval.
If the capital reduction proceeds, Eligible MTC Shareholders will receive a pro rata entitlement to 45,000,001 Winsome Shares and each Eligible MTC Shareholder’s name will be entered on the register of members of Winsome with each Eligible MTC Shareholder having deemed to have consented to becoming a Winsome shareholder and being bound by its constitution.
An Eligible MTC Shareholder's entitlement to Winsome Shares to be distributed is to be based on the number of MTC Shares held at the Record Date.
Due to the outstanding Options and Performance Rights on issue in MTC and also because of the potential future issue of Shares by the Company before the Record Date, it is not clear at the date of this Notice how many MTC Shares will be on issue at the Record Date nor therefore what the exact ratio for the In-specie Distribution will be. However, based on the MTC Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meeting, the ratio of the In-specie Distribution would be 1 Winsome Share for every 3.5 MTC Shares held, as at 6 August 2021, assuming no further issues of securities in MTC.
Other than as shareholders of MTC or as otherwise set out in this Explanatory Statement, none of the Directors have any interest in Resolution 2.
For further details with respect to the effect of this Resolution, including the implications for Ineligible MTC Shareholders, please refer to Section 2.22 below.
2.9 Pro forma financial position of MTC and Winsome upon completion of the Proposal and Winsome IPO
Set out in Schedule 2 is the statement of financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2021 together with the unaudited pro forma statement of financial position of the Company following completion of the Proposal and Winsome IPO.
A pro forma statement of financial position for Winsome, reflecting the proposed balance sheet of Winsome following completion of the Proposal and the Winsome IPO is set out in Schedule 3.
2.10 Advantages and Disadvantages of the Proposal (assuming completion of the Spin-out and In-specie Distribution):
(a) Advantages
- (i) All Eligible MTC Shareholders will retain an interest in the Lithium Projects through their individual pro-rata shareholdings in Winsome.
(ii) All Shareholders will retain their current percentage ownership interest in the capital of MTC.
(iii) The Directors believe that the market is attributing minimal value to the Lithium Projects. The Board believe that a company
18
4319-07/2641556_16
primarily dedicated to exploring and developing the Lithium Projects may be able to extract additional value from the Lithium Projects.
-
(iv) The Spin-out and subsequent Winsome IPO should allow for a better focus on the advancement of the Lithium Projects and should enable a more transparent market value to be placed on the Lithium Projects, whilst the Company continues to develop its flagship Sturec Gold Prject. The Spin-out from MTC will mean that both MTC and Winsome will have a primary focus that will not be affected by events or occurrences relating to other projects.
-
(v) The Board believes that investors and the Company would benefit from the Company having a simplified corporate strategy. Different MTC Shareholders (and potential investors) have preferences for different assets within MTC’s asset portfolio, however the current corporate structure with its diversified commodity interests does not allow for delivery of a simplified corporate strategy. The Proposal will allow both MTC and Winsome to adopt a simplified corporate strategy.
-
(vi) Future capital raisings are expected to be more achievable by each individual entity as the focus of the funding will be on either specifically, MTC’s remaining assets or the Lithium Projects held by Winsome.
-
(vii) The Spin-out will provide Shareholders with the ability to participate in the exploration upside of the Lithium Projects under a separate company with separate financing capabilities whilst also maintaining their investment exposure to MTC’s Sturec Gold Project.
19
4319-07/2641556_16
(b) Disadvantages
-
(i) There is no guarantee that the Winsome Shares will rise in value.
-
(ii) There are a number of potential disadvantages arising from Winsome seeking further funding (including pursuant to the Winsome IPO). These include, but are not limited to:
-
(A) dilution of Winsome Shareholders’ shareholdings via the Winsome IPO or future equity raisings; and
-
(B) uncertainty regarding Winsome’s ability to raise required funding.
-
(iii) Shareholders may incur additional transaction costs if they wish to dispose of their new investment in Winsome (e.g. brokerage costs).
-
(iv) There may be a taxation consequence in respect of the distribution of the Winsome Shares to the Shareholders. Details of the possible general taxation effect of the transaction are set out in Section 2.24.
-
(v) The costs relating to Winsome and the Proposal (some of which will initially be incurred by MTC) will include, but are not limited to:
-
(A) legal and other fees incurred in the preparation of documentation giving effect to the Proposal and the Winsome IPO; and
-
(B) tax advice obtained in relation to taxation consequences of the Proposal.
-
(vi) Following receipt of Shareholder approval and completion of the Proposal and the Winsome IPO, the Winsome Board will be different to that of the Company’s present Board. Following implementation of the Proposal and completion of the Winsome IPO, Winsome will assume responsibility for the remuneration of the Winsome Board and will be responsible for all of its own exploration, management and administration expenses (including directors’ remuneration).
-
(vii) As a result of the return of capital, MTC will forego a percentage of the premium it might have received from a person seeking to acquire a controlling stake in Winsome and its Lithium Projects.
-
(viii) Assuming completion of the Spin-out, there will be two separate companies that will require to be funded and will incur ongoing administrative costs (being MTC and Winsome) rather than one company as is the case at present (being MTC). This will lead to a duplication of costs to Shareholders in some instances (e.g. directors’ fees).
2.11 Failure to achieve completion of the Proposal
Failure to achieve completion of the Proposal may result in a reduced level of exploration expenditure on the Lithium Projects by the Company, or exploration
20
4319-07/2641556_16
may occur on a delayed timetable. The Company has prioritised its projects and the Lithium Projects are currently considered non-core and of less priority than the Company’s flagship Sturec Gold Project.
In the event that the Proposal is not successful, the Company may explore alternative methods of funding exploration on the Lithium Projects although a successful outcome cannot be guaranteed. This may include, but is not limited to, entering into a joint venture arrangement with third parties or selling a portion of the Lithium Projects.

2.17 Effect of Proposed Capital Reduction on Shareholders in MTC
What will you receive?
If the Proposal is implemented, Eligible MTC Shareholders will receive an in specie return of capital by way of the distribution of Winsome Shares in proportion to the number of MTC Shares held by them at the Record Date.
Eligible MTC Shareholders are not required to contribute any payment for the Winsome Shares which they are entitled to receive under the Proposal.
What is the impact on your shareholding in the Company?
The number of Shares in the Company that you hold will not change as a result of the Proposal.
If the Proposal is implemented, the value of your MTC Shares may be less than the value held prior to the Proposal being implemented due to the removal of the Lithium Projects from the Company’s asset portfolio. The size of any decrease cannot be predicted and will be dependent on the value ascribed to the Lithium Projects.
Do you have to do anything to receive your Winsome Shares?
You must hold MTC Shares on the Record Date in order to receive your entitlement of Winsome Shares pursuant to the In-specie Distribution. If the Proposal proceeds, you will automatically receive the Winsome Shares you are entitled to receive (unless you are an Ineligible MTC Shareholder, in which case you will receive the proceeds), even if you vote against the Proposal or do not vote at all.
23
4319-07/2641556_16
Will I be able to trade my Winsome Shares?
If the Proposal is approved by Shareholders and is implemented and assuming completion of the Winsome IPO, a holder of Winsome Shares will be able to sell their Winsome Shares in the future.
What are the taxation implications of the Proposal?
A general guide to the taxation implications of the Proposal is set out in Section 2.24. The description is expressed in terms of the Proposal and is not intended to provide taxation advice in respect of particular circumstances of any Shareholder. Shareholders should obtain professional advice as to the taxation consequences of the Proposal in their specific circumstances.
What will happen if Resolution 2 is not approved?
In the event that Shareholder approval of Resolution 2 is not obtained, the Proposal will not proceed and the distribution of Winsome Shares to MTC Shareholders will not occur.

Notes:

Winsome has also entered into an agreement with Lithium Royalty Corp pursuant to which Lithium Royalty Corp will subscribe for $3,000,000 worth of shares under the Winsome IPO.

25
4319-07/2641556_16
terms (including offering a larger or smaller number of shares or options in Winsome).
-
Winsome is proposing to issue 5,500,000 shares to various consultants who will provide project support, investor relations and general consulting services.
-
As part of the consideration for Canaccord acting as Lead Manager to the Winsome IPO, the Company will issue Canaccord 4,000,000 Options with an exercise price of $0.30 and an expiry date of 4 years from Winsome listing on ASX. Further details of the Lead Manager Mandate are set out in Schedule 5.

-
(d) the 45,000,000 Winsome Consideration Shares and one current Winsome Share will be distributed on a pro-rata basis to Eligible MTC Shareholders on the Record Date based on the number of MTC Shares held by such holders at the Record Date. Due to the outstanding Options and Performance Rights on issue in MTC and also because of the potential future issue of Shares by the Company before the Record Date, it is not clear at the date of this Notice how many MTC Shares will be on issue at the Record Date nor therefore what the exact ratio for the In-specie Distribution will be.
At the date of this Notice, there are 158,677,638 Shares on issue in the Company. Assuming this same number of Shares was on issue at the Record Date, the formula for the In-specie Distribution would be approximately 1 Winsome Share for every 3.5 MTC Shares held. Any exercise of Options in MTC, conversion of Performance Rights or further issue of MTC Shares will have the effect of lowering the number of Winsome Shares distributed for each Share in MTC. Any fractions of entitlement will be rounded down to the next whole number;
-
(e) the return of capital will be effected by a pro-rata distribution of the Winsome Consideration Shares in specie proportionately to all of the Company’s Shareholders:
-
(i) registered as such as at 5.00 pm (WST) on the Record Date; or
-
(ii) entitled to be registered as a Shareholder in the Company by virtue of a transfer of Shares executed before 5.00pm (WST) on the Record Date and lodged with the Company at that time.

2.20 Section 256C of the Corporations Act
The proposed reduction of capital by way of an in specie distribution to Shareholders is an equal capital reduction.
Under Section 256B of the Corporations Act, the Company may only reduce its capital if it:
-
(a) is fair and reasonable to Shareholders as a whole;
-
(b) does not materially prejudice the Company’s ability to pay its creditors; and
-
(c) is approved by Shareholders in accordance with Section 256C of the Corporations Act.
The Directors believe that the Proposal is fair and reasonable to Shareholders as a whole and does not materially prejudice the Company’s ability to pay its creditors. This is because each MTC Shareholder is treated equally and in the same manner since the terms of the reduction of capital are the same for each MTC Shareholder. The In-specie Distribution is on a pro rata basis, and the proportionate ownership interest of each MTC Shareholder remains the same before and after the Proposal.
In accordance with the Corporations Act:
-
(a) the proposed reduction is an equal reduction and requires approval by an ordinary resolution passed at a general meeting of MTC Shareholders;
-
(d) this Explanatory Statement and accompanying Prospectus and previous ASX announcements set out all information known to MTC that is material to the decision on how to vote on Resolution 2; and
-
(e) MTC has lodged with ASIC a copy of this Notice of Meeting and accompanying prospectus.
2.21 ASX Listing Rule 7.17
ASX Listing Rule 7.17 provides in part that a listed entity, in offering shareholders an entitlement to securities in another entity, must offer those securities pro rata or in such other way as, in the ASX’s opinion, is fair in all the circumstances.
27
4319-07/2641556_16
In addition, the record date to decide entitlements must be at least 4 business days after the prospectus for the offer is given to ASX.
There also must be no restriction on the number of securities which a shareholder holds before this entitlement accrues.
The Proposal satisfies the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.17, as the issue of Winsome Shares is being made to Shareholders on a pro rata basis, the Record Date will be set on at least 4 business days after the prospectus for the offer is given to ASX and there is no restriction on the number of Shares a Shareholder must hold before the entitlement to the MTC Shares accrues.
2.22 Effect of Shareholder approval
(a) General
If Resolution 2 is approved, MTC Shareholders (as at the Record Date) will receive a pro rata beneficial entitlement to Winsome Shares based on the number of MTC Shares held at the Record Date. The reduction in MTC’s capital and the transfer and distribution of Winsome Shares will become effective from the Record Date (provided that after the Record Date has been set the In-specie Conditions have been satisfied and the Directors have not provided a notice to ASX stating that the Company does not intend to proceed with the reduction of capital contemplated by Resolution 2). Any fractions of entitlement will be rounded down to the next whole number. Shares in Winsome are to be held subject to its constitution which is in standard form for an ASX listed entity.
The actual dollar value of the proposed return of capital will be an amount equal to the value of the Winsome Shares transferred and distributed to be assessed by the Directors. Please refer to Schedule 2 and Schedule 3 for the pro-forma statements of financial position of both MTC and Winsome which show the expected financial impact of the Proposal and Winsome IPO.
The Board considers the proposed reduction of capital will have no material effect on the interests of MTC Shareholders, except as disclosed in the discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of the reduction set out in Section 2.10 above.
(b) Ineligible MTC Shareholders
Shareholders on the In-specie Distribution Record Date with an address outside an Eligible Country ( Ineligible MTC Shareholders ) will have their pro-rata entitlement of Winsome Shares sold by the Company’s sale nominee, Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited ( Nominee ), and the net proceeds paid to the Ineligible MTC Shareholders, with the timing of the sale to coincide with Winsome successfully completing the Winsome IPO, being admitted to ASX and a market for Winsome Shares being established on ASX.

2.23 Information concerning Winsome Shares
A summary of the more significant rights that will attach to the Winsome Shares is set out below. This summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of the Winsome Shareholders. Full details of the rights attaching to the Winsome Shares are set out in Winsome’s Constitution, a copy of which is available on request.
(a) General meetings
Shareholders are entitled to be present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative to attend and vote at general meetings of Winsome.
32
4319-07/2641556_16
Shareholders may requisition meetings in accordance with section 249D of the Corporations Act and the Constitution.
(b) Voting rights
Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of Shares, at general meetings of Shareholders or classes of Shareholders:
-
(i) each Shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy, attorney or representative;
-
(ii) on a show of hands, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder has one vote; and
-
(iii) on a poll, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder shall, in respect of each fully paid Share held by him, or in respect of which he is appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote for the Share, but in respect of partly paid Shares shall have such number of votes as bears the same proportion to the total of such Shares registered in the Shareholder’s name as the amount paid (not credited) bears to the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited). Amounts paid in advance of a call are ignored when calculation the proportion.
(c) Dividend rights
Subject to the rights of any preference Shareholders and to the rights of the holders of any shares created or raised under any special arrangement as to dividend, the Directors may from time to time declare a dividend to be paid to the Shareholders entitled to the dividend which shall be payable on all Shares according to the proportion that the amount paid or credited as paid is of the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited) in respect of such Shares.
The Directors may from time to time pay to the Shareholders any interim dividends as they believe to be justified subject to the requirements of the Corporations Act. No dividend shall carry interest as against Winsome. The Directors may set aside out of the profits of Winsome any amounts that they may determine as reserves, to be applied at the discretion of the Directors, for any purpose for which the profits of Winsome may be properly applied.
Subject to the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, Winsome may, by resolution of the Directors, implement on such terms and conditions as the Directors think fit, (a) a dividend reinvestment plan which provides for any dividend which the Directors may declare from time to time payable on Shares which are participating Shares in the dividend reinvestment plan, less any amount which Winsome shall either pursuant to the Constitution or any law be entitled or obliged to retain, be applied by Winsome to the payment of the subscription price of Shares and (b) a dividend election plan permitting holders of Shares to the extent that the Shares are fully paid, to have the option to elect to forego the right to share in any dividends (whether interim or otherwise) payable in respect of such Shares and to receive instead an issue of Shares credited as fully paid up to the extent as determined by the Directors.
33
4319-07/2641556_16
(d) Winding-up
If Winsome is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of Winsome, divide among the shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the property of Winsome, and may for that purpose set such value as he considers fair upon any property to be so divided, and may determine how the division is to be carried out as between the Shareholders or different classes of Shareholders.
The liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of Winsome, vest the whole or any part of any such property in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator thinks fit, but so that no Shareholder is compelled to accept any Shares or other securities in respect of which there is any liability.
(e) Shareholder liability
As the Shares to be issued under the Prospectus are fully paid shares, they are not subject to any calls for money by the Directors and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.
(f) Transfer of Shares
Generally, Shares are freely transferable, subject to formal requirements, the registration of the transfer not resulting in a contravention of or failure to observe the provisions of a law of Australia and the transfer not being in breach of the Corporations Act or the ASX Listing Rules.
(g) Variation of rights
Pursuant to section 246B of the Corporations Act, Winsome may, with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a meeting of Shareholders vary or abrogate the rights attaching to Shares.
If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of Shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class), whether or not Winsome is being wound up, may be varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of three-quarters of the issued shares of that class, or if authorised by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.
(h) Alteration of Constitution
The Constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters of Shareholders present and voting at the general meeting. In addition, at least 28 days written notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be given.
2.24 Taxation
The following is a general summary of the Australian taxation consequences for Shareholders who receive Winsome Shares in respect of the In-specie Distribution based on the applicable taxation law as at the date of this Explanatory Statement.
The information outlined in this taxation summary is limited solely to the Australian income tax implications of the demerger for Shareholders who hold their shares in
34
4319-07/2641556_16
MTC on capital account for tax purposes, and not on revenue account. This summary does not provide information relevant to:
-
(a) Shareholders who hold their MTC Shares on revenue account (for example, Shareholders who are share traders and certain institutional investors);
-
(b) Shareholders whose MTC Shares are subject to the employee share acquisition scheme tax rules and Shareholders who are not the beneficial owners of their MTC Shares;
-
(c) Shareholders who acquired, or are taken to have acquired, their MTC Shares prior to 20 September 1985; and
-
(d) Shareholders who are subject to the taxation of financial arrangements rules in Division 230 of the ITAA 1997 in relation to gains and losses on their MTC Shares.
The application of tax legislation can vary according to the individual circumstances of each Shareholder. This summary is not intended, and should not be relied upon, as specific taxation advice to any particular Shareholder. The comments in this summary are of a general nature only, may not apply to your specific circumstances and cannot be relied upon for accuracy or completeness.
Each Shareholder should seek and rely on its own professional taxation advice, specific to its particular circumstances, in relation to the taxation consequences of the proposed transaction. Neither MTC, nor any of its officers or advisers, accepts liability or responsibility with respect to such consequences or the reliance of any Shareholder on any part of the following summary.
Australian taxation implications for Australian resident Shareholders
The demerger tax relief under Division 125 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) ( Demerger Relief ) is not available in respect of the In-specie Distribution for a number of reasons including, that the In-specie Distribution, the Winsome IPO and Acquisitions are inter-conditional and therefore do not satisfy the “nothing else” requirements in paragraph 125-70(1)(c) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth). Accordingly, the Shareholders of MTC will not be able to disregard any capital gain or assessable income arising from the In-specie Distribution.
Broadly, if MTC proceeds with the In-specie Distribution in the absence of Demerger Relief, the following taxation consequences may result:
-
(a) Shareholders may make a capital gain to the extent that the capital component of the In-specie Distribution exceeds the particular Shareholder's cost base;
-
(b) the cost base and reduced cost base of the MTC Shares will be reduced by the Capital Reduction Amount (unless the Commissioner of Taxation makes a determination to treat all or part of the Capital Reduction Amount as an unfranked dividend);
-
(c) the cost base and reduced cost base of the Winsome Shares will be equal to the Capital Reduction Amount Distribution;
-
(d) the Winsome Shares will be taken to have been acquired by the Shareholder at the date of the In-specie Distribution for the purposes of determining eligibility for the CGT discount; and
35
4319-07/2641556_16
- (e) the excess (if any) of the market value of the Winsome Shares at the time of the In-specie Distribution over the Capital Reduction Amount, and (if the Commissioner of Taxation so determines) all or part of the Capital Reduction Amount, may be treated as an unfranked dividend. This amount would be assessable income for Australian resident Shareholders.
Australian taxation implications for non-resident Shareholders
Shareholders who are not residents of Australia for tax purposes will not be subject to any Australian CGT consequences unless they hold (either alone or together with their associates) 10% or more of the direct participation interests in MTC at the time of the demerger or for a continuous period of at least 12 months in the 24 months immediately preceding the In-specie Distribution. In the event that the non-resident Shareholder satisfies the 10% ownership requirement, Australian CGT will apply if at the time of the CGT event the market value of the assets in MTC that are Taxable Australian Real Property ( TARP ) exceed the market value of the assets that are not TARP. TARP generally includes Australian land interests including Australian mineral rights.
To the extent that a non-resident Shareholder holds MTC Shares that meet the above conditions, the Shareholder may make a capital gain to the extent that the capital component of the In-specie Distribution (to be advised by MTC once the In-specie Distribution is complete) exceeds the Shareholder's cost base.
If the Commissioner of Taxation determines all or part of the Capital Reduction Amount as an unfranked dividend, this amount would be subject to dividend withholding tax for non-resident Shareholders (generally at a rate of 30% on the gross amount, subject to any applicable double taxation agreement).
Taxation implications for the Company
The transfer of shares in Winsome from MTC to the MTC Shareholders in respect of the share capital reduction is expected to have capital gains tax (CGT) implications for MTC as Demerger Relief is not available.
2.25 Lodgement with the ASIC
The Company has lodged with the ASIC a copy of this Notice and Explanatory Statement in accordance with Section 256C(5) of the Corporations Act. The ASIC and its officers take no responsibility for the contents of this Notice or the merits of the transaction to which this Notice relates.

2.27 Recommendation of the Board
The Directors of MTC unanimously recommend the approval of the proposed Resolution 2 and encourage Shareholders to vote IN FAVOUR OF Resolution 2.
In forming their unanimous recommendation in respect of Resolution 2, the Directors have carefully considered the following matters:
-
(a) Shareholders will continue to retain their current percentage ownership interest in the capital of the Company.
-
(b) The Spin-out should allow for a better focus on the advancement of the Lithium Projects and should enable a more transparent market value to be placed on the Lithium Projects, whilst the Company continues to develop its flagship Sturec Gold Project.
-
(c) Future capital raising (including the proposed Winsome IPO) should be more achievable by each individual entity.
-
(d) The Spin-out will provide Shareholders with the ability to participate in the exploration upside of the Lithium Projects under a separate company with separate financing capabilities whilst also maintaining their investment exposure to the Company and the Sturec Gold Project.
The Directors have also considered the following potential disadvantages:
-
(a) Shareholders will incur additional transaction costs.
-
(b) There may be taxation implications in respect of the distribution of the Winsome Shares to the Shareholders.
-
(c) There will be costs associated with Winsome, for example, ongoing administrative costs and costs associated with seeking funding for Winsome (including the proposed Winsome IPO).
-
(d) The interests of Shareholders in Winsome will be diluted by the issue of Winsome Shares under the proposed Winsome IPO.
37
4319-07/2641556_16
-
(e) Assuming completion of the Spin-out, there will be two separate companies that will require funding and will incur costs (being MTC and Winsome) rather than one company as is the case at present (being MTC). This will lead to a duplication of costs to Shareholders in some instances (e.g. directors’ fees).
-
(e) Due to the outstanding Options on issue in MTC and also because of the potential future issue of Shares by the Company before the Record Date, it is not clear at the date of this Notice how many MTC Shares will be on issue at the Record Date nor therefore what the exact ratio for the Inspecie Distribution will be. Any exercise of Options in MTC before the Record Date will have the effect of lowering the number of Winsome Shares distributed for each Share in MTC.
Having regard to each of the above matters, the Directors consider that, on balance, the In-specie Distribution of Winsome Shares to Shareholders is in the best interests of Shareholders as the Directors believe that the Company will be able to provide greater value to the Shareholders through the Spin-off. In this regard, the Directors believe that Shareholders will be able to directly participate in the potential upside of the Lithium Projects which may not be realised without the Spin-off.
2.28 Other Material Information
There is no information material to the making of a decision by a Shareholder in the Company whether or not to approve Resolution 2 (being information that is known to any of the Directors and which has not been previously disclosed to Shareholders in the Company) other than as disclosed in this Explanatory Statement and all relevant Schedules.
3. RESOLUTION 3 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF OPTIONS – LISTING RULE 7.1
3.1 General
On 28 October 2020, the Company issued 500,000 Options to Mr Nathan William Ryan in consideration for investor relations consulting services ( Consultancy Options ).
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that 12 month period.
The issue of the Consultancy Options does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Consultancy Options.
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for
38
4319-07/2641556_16
such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Consultancy Options.
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Consultancy Options.
3.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Consultancy Options will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Consultancy Options.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Consultancy Options will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Consultancy Options.
3.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 3:
-
(a) the Consultancy Options were issued to Nathan William Ryan;
-
(b) in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the recipients were:
-
(i) related parties of the Company, members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company or an associate of any of these parties; and
-
(ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;
-
(c) 500,000 Consultancy Options were issued and the Consultancy Options were issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 6 ;
-
(d) the Consultancy Options were issued on 28 October 2020;
-
(e) the Consultancy Options were issued at a nil issue price, in consideration for investor relations consulting services provided to the Company. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the investor relations consulting services (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the investor relations consulting services);
-
(f) the purpose of the issue of the Consultancy Options was consideration for investor relations consulting services provided to the Company by Mr Ryan; and
-
(g) the Consultancy Options were not issued under an agreement.

The location, quantity, quality, continuity, and other geological characteristics of a Mineral Resource are known, estimated, or interpreted from specific geological evidence and knowledge, including sampling. Mineral Resources are sub-divided, in order of increasing geological confidence, into Inferred, Indicated, and Measured categories . Mtpa Millions of tonnes per annum Ore An 'Ore Reserve' is the economically mineable part of a Measured and/or Indicated Coal Resource. It includes diluting materials and Reserve allowances for losses, which may occur when the material is mined or extracted and is defined by studies at Pre-Feasibility or Feasibility level as appropriate that include the application of Modifying Factors. Such studies demonstrate that, at the time of reporting, extraction could reasonably be justified.
The reference point at which Reserves are defined, usually, the point where Ore is delivered to the processing plant must be stated.

Executive Summary
Mining Insights Pty Ltd ("Mining Insights") was requested by Winsome Resources Limited ("Winsome Resources" or "Company") to prepare an Independent Geologist Report ("IGR" or "Report"). The IGR is to be included in the Notice of Meeting to be issued by MetalsTech Limited (“MetalsTech”) dated on or about 23 August 2021 for the in-specie distribution of 45,000,000 shares in the Company to MetalsTech shareholders.
It is noted that the in-specie distribution is subject to the Company raising a minimum of $12,000,000 and a maximum of $15,000,000 before costs under a separate initial public offer prospectus to be lodged by the Company (“Prospectus”).
The funds raised will be used for the exploration and evaluation of projects in new world metals space (new world metals including Li, Ni, Co, Cu, Mn etc.), This IGR details three principal project areas (Adina, Cancet and Sirmac-Clapier) in Canada.
The Report is complete up to 16 August 2021. A draft of the technical component of the Report was provided to Winsome Resources, along with a written request to identify any material errors or omissions before lodgement.
Cancet Project
The Cancet Project is located approximately 155km east of Radisson, off the Trans Taiga Highway, in the northwest of the province of Quebec, Canada. The all-seasons Trans Taiga Highway bisects the Cancet Project area. MetalsTech has 100% interest in the 395 claims totalling 19,961 ha of the Cancet Lithium Project.
The Cancet Property is situated in the La Grande River Greenstone Belt. The Property is dominated by basaltic amphibolite and is consistent with the regional metamorphism and the Property's close proximity to the southern border between the La Grande Sub-province and the Opinaca Sub-province, which are intruded by Proterozoic gabbro dykes. Complex structural control is present on the Property. A regional dextral fault with an undetermined vertical direction of movement marks the northern boundary of the basaltic amphibolite. Amphibolite and peridotite are the primary pegmatite host on the Property.
During the early drill program, a correlation of the pegmatite with a regional magnetic high was identified. As drilling progressed, it became evident that this correlation was relatively strong and that magnetics could be a valuable targeting tool for identifying trends and corridors that may be prospective for hosting pegmatite. Although the pegmatite is not magnetic, the immediate host rock type is comprised of ultramafic rocks (e.g., peridotite) with a relatively strong magnetic character.
A reconnaissance-scale site visit was conducted in 2016 to validate the presence of pegmatites. Work carried out included 6.5km of traverses to locate and resample pegmatite outcrops that had been reported historically to contain spodumene. At all sample sites, spodumene crystals 15cm to 20cm were observed. The channel sampling further supported the presence of widespread spodumene mineralisation in the area, with greater than 2% Li2O sampled from each channel outcrop.
During the summer of 2017, MetalsTech completed a further field exploration program consisting of a soil orientation survey, a ground magnetic survey (deposit area) and a property-wide LiDAR
7
==> picture [107 x 42] intentionally omitted <==
and Orthophoto survey. Interpretation of the 2017 ground magnetic surveys identified several areas of potential structural off-setting zones which are considered high-priority areas for additional spodumene-bearing pegmatite around the Cancet Prospect. MetalsTech also carried out diamond drilling (59 drill holes, totalling 5,216m) during 2017 with good mineralised intersects for Lithium and Tantalum.
Subsequently, MetalsTech completed detailed remote sensing at the Cancet Project. The results identified multiple spodumene anomalous targets. The spodumene anomalies observed in the spectral data could be directly correlated to the spodumene-bearing pegmatite that has been drilled previously.
The Cancet pegmatite deposit outcrops extensively at the surface. The Company has defined a 1.2km shallow dipping mineralised strike on the “main pegmatite” and has discovered an additional pegmatite outcrop 1km east of the main drilling zone (“eastern pegmatite”). The mineralisation remains open along strike and down dip. Recent drilling suggests that strike extensions may continue beneath shallow soil cover, with potential for linkage between the main drilling zone and the newly discovered pegmatite outcrop. The extension along strike and down dip should be assessed through future drilling programs.
The Property remains relatively underexplored with respect to its spodumene-bearing pegmatite potential on the broader Cancet tenement area. As such, a property-wide exploration program is recommended to identify further mineralisation host structures, including more traverse mapping and outcrop searching, costean channel sampling and shallow RC drilling to test any potential lithium anomaly in the larger area in addition to further extension and infill drilling and around the Cancet Main and Eastern Pegmatite area.
Adina Project
The Adina Project is located approximately 350km east of Radisson and approximately 80km southeast of La Grande 4 in the northwest of the province of Quebec, Canada. The all-season gravel Trans Taiga Highway connecting La Grande to Brisay is 60 km north of the Adina Project. There is no road access to the project. MetalsTech has 100% interest in the 57 claims totaling 2,937.3 ha of the Adina Lithium Project.
The project area lies in the Superior Craton near the junction of four lithotectonic domains, the Archean subprovinces of La Grande, Shuanipi, Opinaca and Opatica. The area is dominated by tonalities and granites, hosting several Archean greenstone belts.
MetalsTech carried a field geochemical sampling program during August 2016. Work on the ground included a 1 km traverse to locate and sample pegmatite outcrops. The outcrops were measured at approximately 680m in length over an area of 200m in width.
The Adina Project is an early-stage exploration project. The 2016 rock chip samples returned a grade range of 0.24% to 3.12% Li2O with seven samples (of 11) above 1% Li2O. The 2018 drilling intersected multiple, well-mineralised pegmatite zones with six drill holes (of 10) intersected above 1% Li2O.
The area sampled and drilled is small and not representative of the dyke as a whole. However, there is a substantial area undercover that is understood to be geologically continuous with the area of recent sampling and drilling. As such, the Adina Project is considered to moderately prospective for a larger spodumene hosted lithium deposit.
8
==> picture [107 x 42] intentionally omitted <==
It is proposed that further diamond drilling is undertaken to gain an understanding of deposit geometry and to confirm whether there are multiple parallel dykes and, where possible, establish their true width.
Sirmac-Clapier Project
The Sirmac-Clapier Project is located approximately 105km northwest of Chibougamau and 330 km northeast of the city of Val-d'Or in the province of Quebec, Canada. MetalsTech has 100% interest in the 77 claims totalling 3,486.6 ha.
The Sirmac-Clapier Project is located in the western portion of the Upper Archean FrotetEvans metavolcanic belt, Québec's second-largest Archean greenstone belt, comprising the central part of the Opinaca Sub-province. The main foliation has a general east-west strike and dips at a low angle. Dykes generally exhibit a north northwest to south southeast (315°350°) orientation, a sub-vertical dip and sharp contacts with the host rocks. Glaciation has carved ridges and hills from northeast to southwest, with the glacial till overburden often marked by increased vegetation. The geology of the Property is relatively unexplored. The primary type of mineralisation suggested by the data and mineralisation on the adjacent properties is lithium-bearing spodumene which occurs in granite pegmatite and aplite dykes.
The Sirmac-Clapier Project is an early-stage exploration project. There are no current exploration targets at Sirmac-Clapier, where there has been little exploration conducted. However, spodumene-bearing pegmatites have been identified approximately 3km west on the adjacent Nemaska Lithium Property. There are no notable changes in the mapped local surface geology between the Nemaska Lithium Property and the eastern portion of the SirmacClapier Project.
Summary
Mining Insights concludes that the Winsome Resources portfolio of projects presents exposure to an attractive range of grassroots exploration opportunities. Further exploration and evaluation work is warranted on each of the Projects.
Winsome Resources' proposed exploration programme consists of exploration and drilling & resource evaluation phases. Mining Insights considers Winsome Resources' exploration strategy to be justified and appropriate. A summary of the proposed exploration expenditure is shown in the table below.
Exploration Expenditure Budget
| Project | Minimum Subscription($12m) | Minimum Subscription($12m) | Minimum Subscription($12m) | Maximum Subscription($15m) | Maximum Subscription($15m) | Maximum Subscription($15m) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Year 1($) | Year 2($) | Total($) | Year 1($) | Year 2($) | Total($) | |
| Cancet Project | 2,415,000 | 3,900,000 | 6,365,000 | 2,640,000 | 4,650,000 | 7,290,000 |
| Adina Project | 545,000 | 1,650,000 | 2,195,000 | 870,000 | 2,220,000 | 3,090,000 |
| Sirmac-Clapier Project | 170,000 | 1,570,000 | 1,740,000 | 220,000 | 2,100,000 | 2,320,000 |
| Total | 3,130,000 | 7,120,000 | 10,300,000 | 3,730,000 | 8,970,000 | 12,700,000 |
The proposed budget allocations are considered consistent with the exploration potential of each project and are considered adequate to cover the costs of the proposed programmes. The budgeted expenditures are also considered sufficient to meet the minimum statutory expenditure on the Tenements.

2 Overview of Winsome Resources and its assets
2.1 Introduction to Winsome Resources
Winsome Resources Limited (“Winsome Resources” or “the Company”) is an unlisted mineral exploration company incorporated with its headquarters in Perth. Winsome Resources is currently a wholly owned subsidiary of MetalsTech Limited (ASX: MTC) (“MetalsTech”), a company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange that has built a diverse portfolio of lithium and gold exploration projects in Canada and Europe. MetalsTech proposes to spin out its Adina, Cancet and Sirmac-Clapier assets into Winsome Resources in exchange for 45,000,000 Winsome shares that will be distributed to MetalsTech shareholders as an inspecie distribution pro rata with their respective share holdings. The projects are located in the Archean sub-provinces of La Grande and Upper Archean Frotet-Evans greenstone belt of the Opinaca Sub-province in Quebec, Canada.
2.2 Company Strategy
After listing on the ASX, the Company will embark on an evaluation and exploration program of the exploration projects. Winsome Resources' initial exploration focus is directed predominately towards lithium in the established mineral districts of Canada (Figure 2:1). The three exploration assets are:
-
Adina;
-
Cancet and
-
Sirmac-Clapier.
15
==> picture [107 x 42] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 2:1 Winsome Resources - Portfolio of Projects
==> picture [451 x 559] intentionally omitted <==
Winsome Resources plans to increase shareholder value by spending up to approximately A$14.0 million from the funds raised under the Prospectus on an intensive exploration program over the two years following listing. The Company has identified several targets on which it will commence immediate work following listing. During the first 12 months, the Company will use the exploration data collected to identify and rank the development priorities for the Company and build on previous drilling at Cancet to develop mineral resource model and potential establishment of a maiden JORC Resource at Cancet. Subsequently, Company
16
==> picture [107 x 42] intentionally omitted <==
plans to conduct detailed groundwork including drilling at Adina and Sirmac-Clapier. Also, the Company will continually assess strategic corporate opportunities that may have the potential to create additional value for all Shareholders.
2.3 Tenure
The tenement packages to be acquired by Winsome Resources are detailed in Table 3:1, Table 4:1 and 5:1 of this Report. All Projects are located within the Eeyou Istchee-James Bay Territory of the Nord-du-Quebec region are under the jurisdiction of agreements between the Cree First Nation and the Federal and Provincial Governments. Further detail on these agreements can be sourced in the Solicitors Report.
In summary, there are three main categories of land within the Eeyou Istchee-James Bay Territory. Each land category has different consultation, approval, authorisation and legislation requirements with specific reference to the Cree First Nation.
A description of the land categories and a summary of the consent requirements are shown in Table 2:1.
Table 2.1 Land categories for Assets in the Eeyou Istchee-James Bay Territory
| Land category |
Description | Consent requirements |
|---|---|---|
| Category I Lands |
Lands surrounding villages set aside for the exclusive use and benefit of the Crees. |
The consent of the Cree Community concerned is required for any mining, exploration or exploitation. |
| Category II Lands |
Public lands on which the Crees have exclusive hunting, fishing and trapping rights. |
No project may be authorised without prior consultation with the Crees. If the project is to interfere substantially with the Crees' exclusive rights to fish, hunt or trap in the area, a compensation must be determined. The Agreement also provides that Quebec shall notify monthly the Cree National Government, the Cree Mineral Exploration Board and the relevant Cree communities of the grant of mining claims on Category II Lands and provide the Crees with all the information on mineral activityon CategoryII Lands. |
| Category III Lands |
Public lands with non- exclusive rights to the Crees for hunting, fishing and trapping without a permit, subject to the conservation principle but no exclusive rights. |
The agreements require a prior consultation with the relevant Cree community before any authorization is granted by the Cree Nation Government. The Cree Nation Government has the authority to devise territorial development plans and adopt plans of land use and development. Those regulations must be taken into account in any decision in relation to mining activities as well as other resources uses. |
Note: For further detail with specific reference to agreements and legislation, see Solicitors Report.

The Cancet Project area contains a moderate sized area classified as an area ‘ of minor restriction (LG-3 Hydro) ’ for the purposes of hydro power generation. Historical exploration has been conducted by MetalsTech on land with this classification in this area with no issue raised in this regard. However, prior consultation with Hydro Quebec is required for further field activities including drilling.
Further details regarding the status of these tenements will be included in the Solicitor’s Report to be included in the Prospectus.
3.3 Regional Geology
The regional geological description has been sourced from Oswald R, May 2013, which is a report on the neighbouring Poste Lemoyne project, which is currently held by Osisko Exploration James Bay Inc. ( OEJB ). The geological description is relevant as there is geological continuity between Poste Lemoyne and Cancet.

The Cancet Project is located in the eastern Superior Geological Province. The age of these rocks varies from 2600 Ma to 3400 Ma, and they have been deformed by the Kenoran orogeny, between 2660 and 2720 Ma. The La Grande and Opinaca sub provinces are intruded by Proterozoic gabbro dykes (Figure 3:3).

The La Grande sub province is a volcano-plutonic assemblage composed of an ancient tonalitic gneiss (2788–3360 Ma) of the ‘Langelier Complex’ and many volcano-sedimentary sequences from the Guyer Group (2820 Ma). The Guyer Group is composed of tholeiitic basalts, komatiites, calc-alkaline felsic tuffs, turbidites, iron formations and many ultramafic to felsic intrusions. A north western Ontario equivalent to these rocks is those of the SachigoUchi-Wabigoon sub provinces.

The Opinaca sub province is a metasedimentary and plutonic sequence similar to the English River and Quetico sub provinces in Ontario. The age of these rocks (<2648 Ma) is younger than in the La Grande assemblage. In the study area, the Opinaca rocks are composed of wacke and biotite paragneiss from the Laguiche Group and many granitic and pegmatitic intrusions. The paragneiss is derived from the transformation of an important feldspathic wacke sequence that came from La Grande erosion. In many places, the contact between the two sub provinces is a shear zone.
The ultramafic intrusions are from different generations (synvolcanic, syn- to post tectonic and post-Laguiche). Some tonalitic, monzodioritic, and granitic intrusions are syn- to post-tectonic and crosscut the sub province boundaries.
During the Archean, a ductile deformation event with folding and shearing affected the rocks of the study area, and the latter were metamorphosed to the amphibolite facies. The dominant trend of the strata and the foliation is ENE to E-W with a moderate to steep north dip. Folds plunge ENE.
3.4 Local Geology
The Cancet Property is situated in the La Grande River Greenstone Belt, within the central La Grande Sub province. The Property is dominated by basaltic amphibolite and is consistent with the regional metamorphism and the Property’s proximity to the southern border between the La Grande Sub province and the Opinaca Sub province. Interfingering granitoid intrusions containing country-rock xenoliths are found along the north-western claim boundary, variable in composition from monzodiorite to granodiorite. These are also intermixed with small amounts of andesite and dacite. There is a small patch of polygenic conglomerate also mapped near the south-eastern claim boundary. A diabase dyke, part of a larger Proterozoic dyke swarm, cuts across the southern edge of the amphibolite belt. Locally sheared felsic tuff is concentrated in the north-western part of the Property, with a few isolated occurrences mapped near the southern claim boundary.
Smaller bodies of ultramafic intrusions or sills, identified as peridotite, can be found locally associating with the tuff. A narrow belt of iron formation and wacke crosses the entire Property and is evident in the regional magnetic data. The general structural trend of the area is roughly E-W to ENE-WSW, which is typical of the greater La Grande region.
Complex structural control is present on the Property. A regional dextral fault with an undetermined vertical direction of movement marks the northern boundary of the basaltic amphibolite. The ENE-WSW trending, relatively linear strip formed by the ultramafic intrusive and the felsic tuff on the west end of the Property is parallel to the synclinal fold hinge directly to the south. Equidistant to the north of the strip, the felsic tuff patch attains a rough northsouth symmetry due to the presence of a bisecting anticlinal fold hinge.
Amphibolite and peridotite are the primary pegmatite host on the Property. Due to the upper greenschist-amphibolite regional metamorphism, the country rocks are moderate to strongly altered by an assemblage of chlorite, serpentine, and epidote. Amphibolite on the Property generally has a basaltic character and is strongly foliated. It is composed of mostly hornblende, although lower grade amphiboles such as actinolite and tremolite have also been observed. Up to 10% disseminated and semi-massive sulphides (frequently pyrite, chalcopyrite, and pyrrhotite) have been observed in the amphibolite and minor primary basalt and gabbro near

the Cancet Showing. The peridotite often contains chloritized pseudomorph of phaneritic olivine crystals. Much of the peridotite are metasomatized, forming magnetite peridotite and serpentinite with blurred lithological contact. The magnetite peridotite is grey to black in colour with a distinctly blebby texture which strongly contrasts its peridotite protolith. The serpentinite unit is a less competent rock with a very light green hue and tends to break along parallel fractures.
The main pegmatite body is located near the centre of the Property and is marked by a topographic high. It intrudes into the amphibolite/peridotite and outcrops intermittently, having been traced along a ~1 km narrow corridor trending ~070. The pegmatite is generally white to milky white with localized patches of green in colour. Spodumene content is variable, ranging from barren up to 50% locally.
During the early drill program, a correlation of the pegmatite with a regional magnetic high was identified. As drilling progressed, it became evident that this correlation was relatively strong. Magnetics could be a valuable targeting tool for identifying trends and corridors that may be prospective for hosting pegmatite. As limited outcrop exposure is present on the Property due to a sandy overburden cover, additional targeting vectors are of high interest.
Although the pegmatite is not magnetic, the immediate host rock type is comprised of ultramafic rocks (e.g., peridotite) with a relatively strong magnetic character. Figure 3:4 exhibits the regional magnetic base map.

3.5 Previous Exploration
As the Property is situated with a regional greenstone belt, a significant amount of gold exploration has been completed in the area and to a lesser extent for base metals and uranium. The presence of white pegmatite outcrop, scattered over an area of ~100 m[2] , hosted within gabbro of the Guyer Group was reported in the 2009 Quebec government regional mapping campaign.
During 2016, LiGeneration Limited carried a reconnaissance-scale site visit to validate the presence of pegmatites. Work carried out included 6.5 km of traverses to locate and resample pegmatite outcrops that had been reported historically to contain spodumene. At all sample sites, spodumene crystals 15 cm to 20 cm were observed (Figure 3:5). A historically sampled site was re-sampled, and three additional sites were also sampled. Four moderate-sized channel samples were collected using saws. Assay values for the four samples (of 11) ranged from 1.71% to 3.79% Li2O (See Table 1 of Appendix B for details).

==> picture [305 x 227] intentionally omitted <==
In October 2016, a pegmatite channel sampling program was completed on the Property. The program's objectives were to channel sample the mineralised outcrop discovered during the prior reconnaissance site visit in August 2016 and advance the prospect by obtaining preliminary grade over width information. A total of 26 channel samples were collected from three of the four outcrops sampled (Figure 3:6) and assayed for Lithium (Li) and Tantalum (Ta).
The channel sampling further supported the presence of widespread spodumene mineralisation in the area, with greater than 2% Li2O and 50 ppm Ta2O5 sampled from each outcrop.

During the summer of 2017, MetalsTech completed a further field exploration program consisting of a soil orientation survey, a ground magnetic survey (deposit area) and a property-wide LiDAR and Orthophoto survey. Interpretation of the 2017 ground magnetic surveys identified several areas of potential structural off-setting zones considered high-priority areas for additional spodumene-bearing pegmatite around the Cancet Prospect. Regional prospecting uncovered a
34
==> picture [107 x 42] intentionally omitted <==
large pegmatite outcrop approximately 1 km east and along strike (the “Eastern Pegmatite”) of the mapped and drilled main mineralised pegmatite body (the “Cancet Main Pegmatite”).
During 2018 field exploration program, well-mineralised spodumene boulders were discovered to the northeast of Cancet and Eastern pegmatites. As a result of these recent discoveries, the Project landholding was expanded by 60% through new staking towards the east.

MetalsTech also carried out diamond drilling over 2 phases (59 drill holes, totalling 5,216m) during 2017.
As part of Phase I, 40 diamond drill holes have been completed. The primary objective of the Phase I drill program was to test the surface mineralisation along strike and at depth and to understand the further potential of the immediate area around Cancet Prospect.
The primary objective of the Phase II drill program was to further infill and delineate along strike the mineralised horizon identified in Phase I and to test a new pegmatite discovery (“Eastern Pegmatite”) located ~1km east of the main zone (“Cancet Main Pegmatite”) that was discovered during surface work between phases. Drill hole collar locations are presented in Figure 3:8.

An Exploration Target of 15Mt to 25Mt @ 1% to 2% Li2O and 100 ppm to 250 ppm Ta2O5 was estimated for the Cancet Prospect by reporting tonnages between two-grade cut-off ranges, the lower at 0.3% Li2O and the upper at 0.5% Li2O. This was based on exploration drilling at the Cancet Prospect. No assumed minimum thicknesses or other constraints were used to estimate the Exploration Target.
The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target are conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource in this area and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource or that the Production Target itself will be realised.
The Exploration Target, being conceptual in nature, takes no account of geological complexity, possible mining method or metallurgical recovery factors. The Exploration Target was estimated in order to provide an assessment of the potential scale of exploration at Cancet. The Company intends to test the Exploration Target with further drilling over the next 12 months period.
Subsequently, MetalsTech completed detailed remote sensing at the Cancet Project. The results identified multiple spodumene anomalous targets (Figure 3:9). The spodumene anomalies observed in the spectral data could be directly correlated to the spodumene-bearing pegmatite drilled previously. The remote spectral imagery results provide for the delineated areas to be rapidly assessed and to plan exploration programs to define potential lithium mineralisation. Figure 3:9 indicates multiple spodumene anomalous targets within the project area, including many with a potential larger footprint than the currently drilled area of the Cancet Prospect.

In addition, an initial metallurgical assessment was completed, indicating that the pegmatite at Cancet is amenable to simple coarse crushing and gravity separation. Metallurgical testing indicated that coarsely crushed 10mm and 5.6mm material (based on drill core) could yield

89% to 91% recovery of the contained lithium to a grade of >6.4% Li2O via Dense Media Separation (DMS).
3.6 Exploration Potential
The Cancet Property is situated in the La Grande River Greenstone Belt, within the central La Grande Sub-province within a favourable geological setting with well-mineralised spodumenebearing pegmatite. The project is not presently geologically constrained, offering further exploration potential.
The Cancet pegmatite deposit outcrops extensively at the surface. The Company has defined a 1.2km shallow dipping mineralised strike on the “main pegmatite” and has discovered an additional pegmatite outcrop 1.0km east of the main drilling zone (“eastern pegmatite”). The mineralisation remains open along strike and down dip. Recent drilling suggests that strike extensions may continue beneath shallow soil cover, with potential for linkage between the main drilling zone and the newly discovered pegmatite outcrop. The extension along strike and down dip should be assessed through future drilling programs.
The magnetic survey completed by the Company shows potential for an increase in the length of the mineralised strike at Cancet Prospect and the possibility of a parallel structure to the north east. In addition, there remains the possibility of an extension to the east.
The Property remains relatively underexplored with respect to its spodumene-bearing pegmatite potential on the broader Cancet tenement area. The work to date has focused on the “Cancet Main Pegmatite” and “Eastern Pegmatite” located ~1km east of the main zone with only a few days spent evaluating regional targets. As such, a property-wide exploration program is recommended to identify further mineralisation host structure, including more traverse mapping and outcrop searching, costean channel sampling and shallow RC drilling to test any potential lithium anomaly in the larger area in addition to further extension and infill drilling and around the Cancet Main and Eastern Pegmatite area.

4 Adina Project
4.1 Introduction
The Adina Project is located approximately 350km east of Radisson and approximately 80km southeast of La Grande 4. The all-season gravel Trans Taiga Highway connecting La Grande to Brisay is 60 km north of the Adina Project. There is no road access to the project.

==> picture [454 x 351] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
Radisson Brisay
La Grande-4
----- End of picture text -----
Adina is not close to roads or power and is considered quite remote due to its distance from the nearest road network.
The Mirage Adventure Lodge is located on the Trans Taiga Highway 60 km to the north of the Adina Project and is the closest facility that could support exploration work. There is no existing infrastructure, including roads or powerlines, located on or near the Project. The Renard Diamond Project is located 58 km south southeast of Adina.
The Adina Project area is relatively flat with low rounded hills. Low lying areas are covered by spruce and birch trees, with low hills being devoid of trees. Topographic lows are characterised by wet land and swamps.
The prevailing climate at the Property area is subarctic, with moderate continental precipitation. There is no permafrost, but the ground can freeze to a depth of 2 metres. The

4.3 Regional Geology
The project area lies in the Superior Province near the junction of four lithotectonic domains, the Archean sub provinces of La Grande, Shuanipi, Opinaca and Opatica. The area is dominated by tonalities and granites hosting several Archean greenstone belts (Grenier L. January 2008).
The eastern extremity of the La Grande sub province is composed of amphibolite's of basaltic origin. The metabasalts can be followed over a 50 km northeast-southwest trend with an average thickness of 4 km. The volcanic sequence is hosted in a large quartzo-feldspathic gneiss unit of sedimentary origin. There are multiple syn and post tectonic intrusions controlling the geometry of the volcano-sedimentary assemblage.
4.4 Local Geology
In 2014 the Quebec government conducted regional surface mapping. The fieldwork during the 2016-2017 period indicates that there are rafts of country rock, metavolcanics and metasediments present. This indicates the pegmatites are discontinuous, and/or the geological contact between the pegmatites and the ultramafics might not be well known (Figure 4:3).

4.5 Previous Exploration
MetalsTech carried out a field geochemical sampling program during August 2016. The goal was to verify low-grade green-blue spodumene-bearing pegmatites reported in the 2014 Quebec government regional mapping campaign.
Work on the ground included a 1 km traverse to locate and sample pegmatite outcrops. Eleven (11) samples of spodumene-bearing pegmatite were collected from several pegmatite outcrops (Figure 4:4).
Figure 4:4 Adina Project – Geochemical Sampling (2016)
==> picture [450 x 354] intentionally omitted <==
The outcrops were measured at approximately 680m in length over an area of 200m in width. Green spodumene crystals 5 to 15cm long were observed, with some crystals up to 40cm in length. Table 4:2 shows the results of the geochemical sampling.

Subsequently, a 10-hole reconnaissance diamond drilling campaign was completed in 2018 for a total of 1,726m. Drilling intersected multiple, well-mineralised pegmatite zones. Figure 4:5 shows the location of the drilling collars.

Pegmatite was intersected in drill holes over a strike length of approximately 800m. Significant results include:
-
3.20m @ 1.45% Li2O from 95.89m (AD18-001)
-
3.89m @ 1.40% Li2O from 8.78m (AD18-002)
-

4.42m @ 1.42% Li2O from 92.80m (AD18-003)
-
3.37m @ 1.32% Li2O from 40.63m (AD18-004)
-
8.02m @ 1.27% Li2O from 52.34m (AD18-005)

1.54m @ 1.50% Li2O from 43.86m (AD18-006)
Drill collar location for all drill holes and assays (>0.5% Li2O) are included in Appendix C.
4.6 Exploration Potential
The Adina Project is an early-stage exploration project. The 2016 rock chip samples returned a grade range of 0.24% to 3.12% Li2O with seven samples of eleven above 1% Li2O. The
44
==> picture [107 x 42] intentionally omitted <==
2018 drilling intersected multiple, well-mineralised pegmatite zones with six drill holes (of 10) intersected above 1% Li2O over a strike length of approximately 800m.
The area sampled and drilled is small and not representative of the dyke as a whole. However, there is a substantial area undercover that is understood to be geologically continuous with the area of recent sampling and drilling. As such, the Adina Project is considered as moderately prospective for further? spodumene hosted lithium mineralisation.
It is proposed that further diamond drilling is undertaken to gain an understanding of deposit geometry and to confirm whether there are multiple parallel dykes and, where possible, establish their true width. Subsequently, wider project scale mapping, sampling and trenching should be undertaken to assess the extent to the pegmatite continues under cover from the outcrops sampled. This might include stripping the cover to establish the strike extent of the pegmatites to the southwest, which would be followed by a detailed channel sampling programme.

5 Sirmac-Clapier Project
5.1 Introduction
The Sirmac-Clapier Project is located in the Lac Assinica section of the region of James Bay, approximately 105 km northwest of Chibougamau, 170 km southeast of the Cree community of Nemaska and 330 km northeast of the city of Val-d’Or in the province of Quebec, Canada (Figure 5:1).
The Sirmac-Clapier Project is bounded in the north, west and south by the restricted zone of the Assinica national park reserve.
The Sirmac-Clapier Project is accessible from the nearest major town, Chibougamau, located 105 km southeast, with a population of approximately 7,500 people. The project is accessible for most of the year by a vehicle on predominantly sealed roads, with the last 27 km by dirt road. The south-eastern part of the project is not accessible by road and requires a 2.2 km walk or the use of alternative modes of transport, including by air from a float plane or helicopter, all of which are weather dependant.
There is limited infrastructure on the project. A camp that is still maintained and suitable for housing workers is located 25 km west of the Sirmac-Clapier Project. Power line corridors pass through the Sirmac-Clapier Project area. The Chibougamau/Chapais Airport is situated in Chibougamau and is serviced by chartered flights.

==> picture [107 x 42] intentionally omitted <==
The Sirmac-Clapier Project topography is gently sloping, covered in dense forests of spruce, larch, pine and caribou moss, with lakes and wetlands in the low-lying areas. There is no permafrost at this latitude.
The prevailing climate at the Property area is subarctic, with moderate continental precipitation. There is no permafrost, but the ground can freeze to a depth of 2 metres. The months of December, January and February and the first half of March are particularly cold, with temperatures averaging -20°C. Summer temperatures average around 17°C in July. Annual precipitation averages 640 mm of rain from March to November and 350 cm of snow from September to May.

5.3 Regional Geology
The Sirmac-Clapier Project is located in the western portion of the Upper Archean FrotetEvans metavolcanic belt, Québec’s second-largest Archean greenstone belt, comprising the central part of the Opinaca Sub province.
The volcano-sedimentary sequence of Frotet-Evans belt in the Lake Assinica area was divided into two groups: 1) the Assinica Group, which occupies the base, 2) Broadback Group, which superimposes it (Lewis C., September 2016).
The Assinica Group consists mainly of massive flows and pillowed of tholeiitic basalt. It also contains intermediate felsic pyroclastic rocks and mudrocks. A large volume of gabbro dikes crosses the volcanic rocks. The Broadback group consists of sandstone, polygenic conglomerates and mudrocks. The rocks of the belt are metamorphosed to the upper level of the greenschist facies. The volcano-sedimentary sequence of this region highlights an eastwest oriented syncline. The distortion is small in the central portion of the belt and is increased
49
==> picture [107 x 42] intentionally omitted <==
in the margin. This deformation occurs in the region by a foliation oriented east-west and steeply dipping and by a steep dive lineation to the west.
5.4 Local Geology
The Project area is divided into three discrete claim blocks, connected at one point each by the claim corners in a northeast-southwest series. The two southeast blocks are underlain by syenites of the Dalogny pluton, with minor coverage of metasedimentary quartzite sandstones of the Broadback Group, which exhibit parallel and cross-laminations. The largest, northeastern block consists almost entirely of the same quartzite sandstones of the Broadback group, with a dyke of dioritic to gabbroic composition occurring at its southern most edge and trending roughly parallel to regional trend. All units follow the same roughly east-northeast regional trend.
Directly to the north of the Property boundary, the following units occur, following the generaleast-west regional lithologic trend. From south to north, away from the Property:
-
East-west trending polygenetic conglomerates and sandstones of the Broadback group;
-
Pyroclastic rocks of felsic composition, massive and pillow basalts, and mudrock of the Assinica group;
-
Layered mafic, amphibolites, gabbroic dikes, and tuff of the Assinica Group
The main foliation has a general east-west strike and dips at a low angle. Dykes generally exhibit a north northwest to south southeast (315°-350°) orientation, a sub-vertical dip and sharp contacts with the host rocks.
Glaciation has carved ridges and hills from northeast to southwest, with the glacial till overburden often marked by increased vegetation.
No lithium mineralisation has been identified on the Sirmac-Clapier Project. The local geology is shown in Figure 5.3.

5.5 Mineralisation
The geology of the Property is relatively unexplored. The primary type of mineralisation suggested by the data and mineralisation on the adjacent properties is lithium-bearing spodumene which occurs in granite pegmatite and aplite dykes.
5.6 Previous Exploration
Historic exploration, carried out over the Sirmac-Clapier Project, includes:
-
Mapping at a scale of 1:50,000 for Québec’s Department of Natural Resources 1997, following the work undertaken in 1966 and 1942.
-
A regional lake-bottom geochemical survey in 1979 was re-analysed in 1995 by the Quebec Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources (MERN) for 35 elements, including gold, copper and arsenic.
-
Regional geomagnetic surveys in 1969.
The historical exploration has identified and outcropping pegmatites on the tenement. No recent exploration work has been undertaken.
5.7 Adjacent Properties
Sirmac-Clapier is located approximately 3 km east of the main zone of lithium mineralisation at Nemaska Lithium Inc. Sirmac Property. Between 2010 and 2013, Nemaska Lithium reported prospecting and exploration activities that uncovered several large pegmatite dyke areas within its Sirmac Property.
51
==> picture [107 x 42] intentionally omitted <==
Sirmac-Clapier Property is approximately 4 km to the west of the Osisko Exploration James Bay Assinica Property. Approximately 15 km to the east lies the Durango Resources Inc Descouverte Property. The Property boundary map is shown in Figure 5:4.
Figure 5:4 Sirmac-Clapier – Adjacent Exploration Projects

5.8 Exploration Potential
The Sirmac-Clapier Project is an early-stage exploration project. There are no current exploration targets at Sirmac-Clapier where there has been little exploration conducted. However, spodumene-bearing pegmatites have been identified on the Property and also approximately 3 km west on the adjacent Nemaska Lithium Property. There are no notable changes in the mapped local surface geology between the Nemaska Lithium Property and the eastern portion of the Sirmac-Clapier Project. As such, the Sirmac-Clapier Project could be considered to be moderate to highly prospective.
It is recommended that the initial exploration should include project geological mapping, sampling, trenching and ground-based electromagnetic surveys to identify targets requiring closer detailed studies, including drilling where appropriate. Based on the initial program outcomes, Phase 2 exploration should include shallow drilling targeted at anomalies defined during initial exploration.

6 Project Risks
Mineral exploration and development are high-risk undertakings. There can be no assurance that exploration of acquired projects or any other exploration properties that may be acquired in the future will result in the discovery of an economic resource. Even if an apparently viable resource is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited.
Mining Insights has identified a range of risk elements or risk factors that may affect the project's future exploration and operational performance. The future exploration activities of the Company may be affected by a range of factors, including geological conditions, limitations on activities due to 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.
Some of the risk factors are completely external and beyond the control of management. However, project-specific risks can be mitigated by taking the proper measures in advance. Key project risks that have been identified are discussed below.

Some of the granted tenements are set to expire during 2022 and 2023. An application to extend the term of the Tenement can be made for a further two years. For the term to be extended, the State must be satisfied that a prescribed ground for extension of the exploration licence exists. The grant of any mining lease in due course will be subject to such State and Federal regulatory approvals, as may be required.
6.2 Exploration Risk
The exploration risks associated with the project are generic and common to most greenfield exploration projects in Quebec, Canada. In Mining Insights’ opinion, these exploration projects do not pose a significantly higher risk than any other early-stage exploration projects in Canada.
6.3 Resources & Reserve Risk
No Mineral Resource has been reported within the tenement. Moving forward, it may be possible that further exploration, geological and metallurgical assessment may result in no mineral resource being delineated, which would have a material impact on the technical value of the concession.
No Ore Reserve has been defined at any of these projects. Moving forward, it may be possible that further technical studies may not result in the development of Ore Reserve, which would have a material impact on the value of the project.
6.4 Processing Risk
Only limited preliminary metallurgical processing tests work has been completed so far.
It may be possible that further test work may not result in acceptable product grade and metallurgical recoveries.
6.5 Environmental Risks
53
==> picture [107 x 42] intentionally omitted <==
The environmental risks associated with the project are generic and common to most greenfield exploration projects in Canada, including groundwater disturbance, flora and fauna habitat protection.
6.6 Commodity Price Risk
The Company's ability to proceed with the development of its mineral 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 these metals/concentrates. Consequently, any future earnings are likely to be closely related to the price of this commodity and the terms of any off-take agreements that the Company enters into.
Metal prices and their demand are cyclical and subject to significant fluctuations. Any significant decline in the prices of these or demand could materially and adversely affect the company’s business and financial condition results of operations and prospects.
6.7 Development and Operations Risk
The success of the Winsome Resources projects 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.
The operations may be affected by various other factors, including 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 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.

7 Proposed Exploration Program
The Independent Geologist believes the Project has sufficient technical merit to justify ongoing exploration and development. Winsome Resources has proposed a staged exploration program for its projects over two years following its listing on the ASX. Winsome Resources’ exploration program going forward will mainly focus on verification and critical re-assessment of the geology and historical exploration data to generate detailed targets for subsequent drilling and potential mineral resource estimation.

Cancet
Main Mineralisation at Cancet Landing
-
Optical and Acoustic Televiewer Survey;
-
Refinement of geological block model;
-
Infill and step out drilling in the vicinity of the current known mineralized zones;
-
Trenching in all directions away from main mineralisation.
Eastern Pegmatite
-
Field exploration including trenching;
-

8 Conclusions
Mining Insights makes conclusions and recommendations based on the results of its own studies and that of the Company’s other technical consultants.
Mining Insights concludes that the Winsome Resources portfolio of projects presents exposure to an attractive range of grassroots exploration plays. Further exploration and evaluation work is warranted on each of the Projects.
The proposed budget allocations are considered consistent with the exploration potential of each project and are considered adequate to cover the costs of the proposed programmes. The budgeted expenditures are also considered sufficient to meet the minimum statutory expenditure on the Tenements.
The Independent Geologist’s Report has been prepared on information available up to 22 July 2021, and Mining Insights is not aware of any material change to the Company’s mineral interests since that date.

Adina Project
Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
| 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. |
Diamond drilling completed to date at Adina Core samples collected based on lithology. Samples submitted for assay typically weigh 2-3 kg. Continuous sampling of half-core was used to ensure the samples are representative over the interval being sampled. To be as representative as practical, drilling was conducted as perpendicular as practical to the indicated strike/dip of the main mineralised pegmatite bodies as mapped on the surface. True widths of mineralisation are not known. Samples were of saw-cut half-core and samples typically approximately 1 m in length, providing for sufficient mass (1-3kgs) to be adequately representative of the interval being sampled. QAQC included the systematic insertion of certified reference materials, quartz blanks, quarter-core duplicates, and pulp duplicates. All diamond holes were NQ. Holes were geologically logged, measured, cut, and sampled on site. Half-core samples for NQ were submitted to Activation Laboratories in Ontario and analysed using 4 Acid ICP-OES (Code 1F2-Assay) techniques for elements including lithium. Tantalum was analysed by XRF |
| Drilling techniques |
• Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open- hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc). |
NQ diamond drilling was completed at Adina. Oriented core drilling was not completed. Downhole surveying was conducted using a gyro-based system. Hole depths averaged ~173 m over the ten holes reported herein, with a max depth of 202 m. |
| 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. |
Industry standard geotech was completed on all holes. Core recovery was recorded in percent. Sample recovery was high. No material bias has been identified. |
| 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. |
NQ core was logged and cut according to geological boundaries, with ~1 m interval targeted for individual samples. Features such as rock type, modal mineralogy, rock textures, alteration were recorded. Geological logging information was recorded directly into Excel spread sheet. The core is stored on the Property for future reference. RQD, fractures, core strength and weathering were also measured for every 3 metres of core. Various qualitative and quantitative logs were completed. All core has been photographed. The logging database contains lithological data for all intervals in all holes in the database. |

| 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. |
Half NQ core was sampled for analysis, with half NQ core left in the box for reference. Quality Assurance and Quality Control utilised standard industry practice, using certified reference materials, quartz blanks, quarter-core duplicates, and pulp duplicates in addition to the standard internal laboratory QAQC. Acceptable QAQC results and indicated from preliminary review; however, the full QAQC program is ongoing. Internal laboratory QAQC has also been relied upon and the results are considered acceptable for disclosure. QAQC insert samples as per above. Half-core samples ensure sufficient representative nature of interval being sampled. Samples sizes are sufficient and industry standard. |
| 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. |
Assay and laboratory procedures have been selected following a review of techniques provided by internationally certified laboratories. Samples are submitted for multi-element ICP analysis by Activation Laboratories, which is applicable for high-grade lithium analysis A “total” 4-Acid digestion is used, followed by ICP- OES analysis. Li is reported by the lab and converted to Li2O for reporting using a factor of 2.153 No handheld instruments were used for analysis Coarse quartz material is submitted at a rate of approximately 5%. Comparison of results with standards indicate sufficient quality in data. No external laboratory checks have been used but are planned to be completed shortly. Several different certified reference material (CRM) for lithium mineralisation were inserted, representing different grades, as well as field duplicates, and blanks. Quality Assurance and Quality Control utilised standard industry practice, using prepared standards, field blanks (approximately 0.4 kg), duplicates sampled in the field and pulp duplicates at the lab. |
| 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. |
Independent verification was carried out by a consultant to the Company, Dahrouge Geological Consulting Ltd. (DGC) at the time. Hard copy field logs are entered into and validated on an electronic Excel database, both of which are stored at the MetalsTech Perth office. Data verification is carried out by the Senior Geologist on site. Diamond core drilled was photographed on site and then sent to Activation Laboratories, Ontario. Geological logging and sampling took place on-site. No assays have been adjusted. A factor of 2.153 has been applied to the reported Li assays so to report as Li2O. |
| 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. |
All drill-hole locations were located using a GR5 Topcon RTK GPS, which has an accuracy of +/- 5mm vertical and +/-10mm horizontal. Down hole surveying of drill holes was conducted using a Reflex Gyroscope. |

| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| • Specification of the grid system used. • Quality and adequacy of topographic control. |
The grid system used is NAD83, zone 18N. Topographic control as per RTK unit discussed above. |
|
| 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. |
Drill spacing between holes is generally between 100 and 200m. No assessment has been made regarding the current drill hole location and intersections with respect to resources or reserve estimation. No sample compositing has been completed. However, internal dilution of non-mineralized material into calculated grade over widths reported herein may be present. |
| 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 orientation of drilling was designed to intersect pegmatites perpendicular to the dominant geometry. True width of intersections are not known as orientation and strike of mineralized body is not well constrained. As per above. Industry standard drilling practices were carried out to maximize the representativeness of the drill holes. |
| Sample security |
• The measures taken to ensure sample security. |
Contract geologists and field assistant conducted all sampling and subsequent storage in field. Samples were then delivered via road freight to Activation Laboratories in Ontario |
| Audits or reviews |
• The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. |
No external audit of the database has been completed, apart for the consulting geologists acting on behalf of the company. Drill hole sample data is verified at time of entry into excel as well as when assays are linked. |
Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Mineral tenement and land tenure status |
• Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings. • The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area. |
MetalsTech has the right to 100% of the Adina Lithium Project. There are no other material issues affecting the tenements. All tenements are in good standing and have been legally validated by a Quebec lawyer specialising in the field. |
| Exploration done by other parties |
• Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
No modern exploration for lithium has been conducted outside of the drilling being done by MetalsTech. Government mapping records multiple lithium bearing pegmatites within the project areas with only regional data available beyond this. |
| Geology | • Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
The mineralisation encountered at the Adina project is typical of a Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum (LCT) type of pegmatite. The pegmatites reside along a regional contact of tonalite and amphibolitic mylonite. |
| 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 |

||
| 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. |
Length weighted averages used for exploration results are reported in Appendix C. Cutting of high grades was not applied in the reporting of intercepts. Aggregation issues are not considered material at this stage of project definition. No metal equivalent values were used. |
| 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’). |
True widths are not known. The geometry of the mineralised zone and host pegmatite body are not well constrained. |
| 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. |
See diagrams attached to this report. |
| 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. |
Results for all assay results received are summarised in Appendix C attached to the body of this report. |
| 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. |
All meaningful and material exploration data has been reported. |

• 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. |
Half NQ core was sampled for analysis, with half NQ core left in the box for reference. Quality Assurance and Quality Control utilised standard industry practice, using certified reference materials, field blanks, quarter-core duplicates, and pulp duplicates in addition to the standard internal laboratory QAQC. Acceptable QAQC results were obtained for all data reported herein QAQC insert samples as per above. Half-core samples ensure sufficient representative nature of interval being sampled. Samples sizes are sufficient and industry standard. |
| 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. |
Assay and laboratory procedures have been selected following a review of techniques provided by internationally certified laboratories. Samples are submitted for multi-element ICP analysis by Activation Laboratories, which is applicable for high-grade lithium analysis A “total” 4-Acid digestion is used, followed by ICP- OES analysis. Li is reported by the lab and converted to Li2O for reporting using a factor of 2.153 No handheld instruments were used for analysis Coarse quartz material is submitted at a rate of approximately 5%. Comparison of results with standards indicate sufficient quality in data. No external laboratory checks have been used but are planned Two different grades of certified reference material (CRM) for lithium mineralisation were inserted, as well as field duplicates, and blanks. The CRM’s submitted represented a weakly mineralised pegmatite (AMIS 0342), and a moderate to high grade lithium mineralised pegmatite (AMIS 0343). Quality Assurance and Quality Control utilised standard industry practice, using prepared standards, field blanks (approximately 0.4 kg), duplicates sampled in the field and pulp duplicates at the lab. 807 samples, including QAQC inserts, from phase one were sent to Activation Laboratories in total to date. Pulp duplicates and quarter-core field duplicates generally indicate good repeatability of samples. Assay results of CRMs have been satisfactory, demonstrating acceptable levels of accuracy and precision. |

an electronic Excel database, both of which are stored at the MetalsTech Perth office. Diamond core drilled was photographed on site and then sent to the Activation Laboratories, Ontario. Geological logging and sampling took place on-site. No assays have been adjusted. A factor of 2.153 has been applied to the reported Li assays so to report as Li2O. |
|
| 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. |
All drill-hole locations were located using a GR5 Topcon RTK GPS, which has an accuracy of +/- 5mm vertical and +/-10mm horizontal. Down hole surveying of drill holes was conducted using a Reflex Gyroscope. The grid system used is NAD83, zone 18N. Topographic control as per RTK unit discussed above. |
| 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. |
Drill spacing between holes is generally between 40 and 60m on section, and generally 40 to 80m between sections, depending on site accessibility. No assessment has been made regarding the current drill hole location and intersections with respect to resources or reserve estimation. No sample compositing has been completed. |
| 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 orientation of drilling was designed to intersect pegmatites perpendicular to the dominant geometry. True width of intersections is not known as orientation and strike of mineralized body is not well constrained. As per above. Industry standard drilling practices were carried out to maximise the representativeness of the drill holes. |
| Sample security |
• The measures taken to ensure sample security. |
Contract geologists and field assistant conducted all sampling and subsequent storage in field. Samples were then delivered via road freight to Activation Laboratories in Ontario. |
| Audits or reviews |
• The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. |
No external audit of the database has been completed, apart for the consulting geologists acting on behalf of the company. Drill hole sample data is verified at time of entry into excel as well as when assays are linked. |

| Geology | • Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
The mineralisation encountered at the Cancet project is typical of a Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum (LCT) type of pegmatite. The pegmatite body is oriented sub-parallel to the general strike of the host rocks. The host rocks are composed of Archean Lac Guyer greenstone rocks, which include mafic and ultramafic rocks interlayered with horizons of metasedimentary and felsic volcanic rocks. |
| 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: oeasting and northing of the drill hole collar oelevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar odip and azimuth of the hole odown hole length and interception depth ohole 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. |
See tables and appendices attached to this report. |
| 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. |
Length weighted averages used for exploration results are reported in Appendix C. Maximum 2 to 4 m internal dilution, depending on cut-off used for reporting, which is deemed to be appropriate for this style of mineralisation and stage of exploration. Cutting of high grades was not applied in the reporting of intercepts. The short length of high-grade samples have been highlighted so as to demonstrate the, at times, coarse-grained nature of spodumene mineralization. In some cases, sample intervals contain 70 to 80 per cent visual estimates of spodumene. Aggregation issues are not considered material at this stage of project definition. No metal equivalent values were used. |
| 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’). |
True widths are not known. The geometry of the mineralized zone and host pegmatite body are not well constrained. |
| 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. |
See diagrams attached to this report. |
| 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. |
Results for all assay results received are summarised in Appendix C attached to the body of this report. |
| Other substantive |

pegmatite exposures has been carried out. All meaningful and material exploration data has been reported. |
| 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. |
Further drilling is recommended to test step-out and depth extensions to the currently known mineralised pegmatites, and to infill some areas of the known body to increase the confidence in support of a planned resource estimate. Detailed geochemistry should be carried out to determine trends of known mineralised zones and to delineate high grade trends within the mineralized pegmatite. Further detailed surface mapping could help to uncover possible strike extensions. Property-scale mapping and prospecting should be completed in order to uncover any mineralised pegmatites in a parallel structure or much further along strike. |

SCHEDULE 4 – KEY RISK FACTORS FACING WINSOME
The business, assets and operations of Winsome will be subject to certain risk factors that have the potential to influence its operating and financial performance in the future. These risks can impact on the value of an investment in its securities and include those highlighted in the table below.
The risk factors set out below ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by Winsome or by investors in Winsome. The below factors, and others not specifically referred to below, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of Winsome and the value of the Winsome Shares. Therefore, the Winsome Shares carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those shares.
Company specific risks:
| Risk Category | Risk |
|---|---|
| Conditional Proposal | The Proposal is conditional upon the In-specie Conditions being satisfied or waived. The Conditions are set out in Section 2.3. There is no certainty that the In-specie Conditions will be satisfied. In the event that these conditions are not met, the Proposal will not proceed. |
| Limited history | Winsome was incorporated on 6 April 2021 and during that time it has operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetalsTech. No assurances can be given that Winsome will achieve commercial viability through the successful exploration and/or mining of the Lithium Projects. Until Winsome is able to realise value from the Lithium Projects, it is likely to incur ongoing operating losses. |
| Contractual risk | Winsome’s interest in the Lithium Projects are subject to the Acquisition Agreements. The ability of Winsome to achieve its stated objectives will depend on the performance by the parties of their obligations under these agreements. If Winsome is unable to satisfy the conditions under these agreements Winsome’s interest in their subject matter may be jeopardised. If any party defaults in the performance of their obligations, it may be necessary for Winsome to approach a court to seek a legal remedy, which can be costly. See Schedule 5 for a summary of the material terms of the Acquisition Agreements. |
| Exploration and operating | The mineral exploration licences comprising the Lithium Projects are at various stages of exploration, and potential investors should understand that mineral exploration and development are high-risk undertakings. There can be no assurance that future exploration of these licences, or any other mineral licences that may be acquired in the future, will result in the discovery of an economic resource. Even if an apparently viable resource is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited. |
47
4319-07/2641556_16
| Risk Category | Risk |
|---|---|
| The future exploration activities of Winsome may be affected by a range of factors including geological conditions, limitations on activities due to seasonal weather patterns or adverse weather conditions, unanticipated operational and technical difficulties, difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment, mechanical failure or plant breakdown, unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect extraction costs, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes, unexpected shortages and increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant, equipment and staff, changing government regulations and many other factors beyond the control of Winsome. The success of Winsome will also depend upon Winsome being able to maintain title to the mineral exploration licences comprising the Lithium Projects and obtaining all required approvals for their contemplated activities. In the event that exploration programs prove to be unsuccessful this could lead to a diminution in the value of the Lithium Projects, a reduction in the cash reserves of Winsome and possible relinquishment of one or more of the mineral exploration licences comprising the Lithium Projects. |
|
| Dilution | On completion of the Offers, Acquisition Agreements and In-Specie Distribution, the number of Shares on issue will increase from 45,000,001 to 125,500,001 (assuming the Maximum Subscription is raised under the Winsome IPO, representing an increase of 178.9%). On this basis, MetalsTech Shareholders participating in the In-Specie Distribution should note that their shareholdings in Winsome will technically be diluted by up to 64.2% if they do not participate in the MetalsTech Offer (and may still be diluted even If they do participate). |
| Foreign jurisdiction risk- Canadian government regulation |
Winsome’s operating activities will be subject to laws and regulations governing exploration of property, health and worker safety, employment standards, waste disposal, protection of the environment, land and water use, prospecting, taxes, labour standards, occupational health standards, toxic wastes, the protection of endangered and protected species and other matters. While Winsome understands that MetalsTech is in substantial compliance with all material current laws and regulations affecting its activities, future changes in applicable laws, regulations, agreements or changes in their enforcement or regulatory interpretation could result in changes in legal requirements or in the terms of existing permits and agreements applicable to Winsome or its properties, which could have a material adverse impact on Winsome’s current operations or planned development projects. Where required, obtaining necessary permits and licences can be a complex, time consuming process and Winsome cannot be sure whether any necessary permits will be obtainable on acceptable terms, in a timely manner or at all. The costs and delays associated with obtaining necessary permits and complying with these permits and applicable laws and |
48
4319-07/2641556_16
| Risk Category | Risk |
|---|---|
| regulations could stop or materially delay or restrict Winsome from proceeding with any future exploration or development of its properties. Any failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations or permits, even if inadvertent, could result in interruption or closure of exploration, development or other activities and could result in material fines, penalties or other liabilities. Adverse changes in Canadian government policies or legislation may affect ownership of mineral interests, taxation, royalties, land access, labour relations, and mining and exploration activities of the Company. It is possible that the current system of exploration and mine permitting in Canada may change, resulting in impairment of rights and possibly expropriation of the Company’s properties without adequate compensation. |
Industry specific risks:
| Risk Category | Risk |
|---|---|
| Exploration costs | The exploration costs of Winsome as summarised in Section 2.7 are based on certain assumptions with respect to the method and timing of exploration. By their nature, these estimates and assumptions are subject to significant uncertainty, and accordingly, the actual costs may materially differ from the estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the cost estimates and the underlying assumptions will be realised in practice, which may materially and adversely impact Winsome’s viability. |
| Resource and reserves and exploration targets |
Winsome has identified a number of exploration targets based on geological interpretations and limited geophysical data, geochemical sampling and historical drilling. Insufficient data however, exists to provide certainty over the extent of the mineralisation. Whilst Winsome intends to undertake additional exploratory work with the aim of defining a resource, no assurances can be given that additional exploration will result in the determination of a resource on any of the exploration targets identified. Even if a resource is identified no assurance can be provided that this can be economically extracted. Reserve and resource estimates are expressions of judgement based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates which were valid when initially calculated may alter significantly when new information or techniques become available. In addition, by their very nature resource and reserve estimates are imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations which may prove to be inaccurate. |
| Grant of future authorisations to explore and mine |
If Winsome discovers an economically viable mineral deposit that is then intends to develop, it will, among other things, require various approvals, licence and permits |
49
4319-07/2641556_16
| Risk Category | Risk |
|---|---|
| before it will be able to mine the deposit. There is no guarantee that Winsome will be able to obtain all required approvals, licenses and permits. To the extent that required authorisations are not obtained or are delayed, Winsome’s operational and financial performance may be materially adversely affected. |
|
| Mine development | Possible future development of mining operations at the Lithium Projects is dependent on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the acquisition and/or delineation of economically recoverable mineralisation, favourable geological conditions, receiving the necessary approvals from all relevant authorities and parties, seasonal weather patterns, unanticipated technical and operational difficulties encountered in extraction and production activities, mechanical failure of operating plant and equipment, shortages or increases in the price of consumables, spare parts and plant and equipment, cost overruns, access to the required level of funding and contracting risk from third parties providing essential services. If Winsome commences production on one of the Lithium Projects, its operations may be disrupted by a variety of risks and hazards which are beyond the control of Winsome. No assurance can be given that Winsome will achieve commercial viability through the development of the Lithium Projects. The risks associated with the development of a mine will be considered in full should the Lithium Projects reach that stage and will be managed with ongoing consideration of stakeholder interests. |
| Environmental | The operations and proposed activities of Winsome are subject to State and Federal laws and regulations concerning the environment. As with most exploration projects and mining operations, Winsome’s activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if advanced exploration or mine development proceeds. It is Winsome’s intention to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws. Mining operations have inherent risks and liabilities associated with safety and damage to the environment and the disposal of waste products occurring as a result of mineral exploration and production. The occurrence of any such safety or environmental incident could delay production or increase production costs. Events, such as unpredictable rainfall or bushfires may impact on Winsome’s ongoing compliance with environmental legislation, regulations and licences. Significant liabilities could be imposed on Winsome for damages, clean up costs or penalties in the event of certain discharges into the environment, environmental damage caused by previous operations or non-compliance with environmental laws or regulations. |
50
4319-07/2641556_16
| Risk Category | Risk |
|---|---|
| The disposal of mining and process waste and mine water discharge are under constant legislative scrutiny and regulation. There is a risk that environmental laws and regulations become more onerous making Winsome’s operations more expensive. Approvals are required for land clearing and for ground disturbing activities. Delays in obtaining such approvals can result in the delay to anticipated exploration programmes or mining activities. |
|
| Regulatory Compliance | Regulatory Risks Winsome’s operating activities are subject to extensive laws and regulations relating to numerous matters including resource licence consent, environmental compliance and rehabilitation, taxation, employee relations, health and worker safety, waste disposal, protection of the environment, protection of endangered and protected species and other matters. Winsome requires permits from regulatory authorities to authorise Winsome’s operations. These permits relate to exploration, development, production and rehabilitation activities. While Winsome believes that it is in substantial compliance with all material current laws and regulations, agreements or changes in their enforcement or regulatory interpretation could result in changes in legal requirements or in the terms of existing permits and agreements applicable to Winsome or its properties, which could have a material adverse impact on Winsome’s current operations or planned development projects. Obtaining necessary permits can be a time-consuming process and there is a risk that Company will not obtain these permits on acceptable terms, in a timely manner or at all. The costs and delays associated with obtaining necessary permits and complying with these permits and applicable laws and regulations could materially delay or restrict Winsome from proceeding with the development of a project or the operation or development of a mine. Any failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations or permits, even if inadvertent, could result in material fines, penalties or other liabilities. In extreme cases, failure could result in suspension of Winsome’s activities or forfeiture of one or more of the Tenements. |
General risks:
| Risk Category | Risk |
|---|---|
| Additional requirements for capital |
Winsome’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors. Winsome may require further financing in addition to amounts raised under the Offer. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If Winsome is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to |
51
4319-07/2641556_16
| Risk Category | Risk |
|---|---|
| reduce the scope of its operations and scale back its exploration programmes as the case may be. There is however no guarantee that Winsome will be able to secure any additional funding or be able to secure funding on terms favourable to Winsome. |
|
| Reliance on key personnel | The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and the strategic management of the Company depends substantially on its senior management and its key personnel. There can be no assurance given that there will be no detrimental impact on Winsome if one or more of these employees cease their employment. Winsome’s future depends, in part, on its ability to attract and retain key personnel. It may not be able to hire and retain such personnel at compensation levels consistent with its existing compensation and salary structure. Its future also depends on the continued contributions of its executive management team and other key management and technical personnel, the loss of whose services would be difficult to replace. In addition, the inability to continue to attract appropriately qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on Winsome’s business. |
| Economic | General economic conditions, introduction of tax reform, new legislation, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on Winsome’s exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities. If activities cannot be funded, there is a risk that the Lithium Projects may have to be surrendered or not renewed. General economic conditions may also affect the value of the Company and its valuation regardless of its actual performance. |
| Competition risk | The industry in which Winsome will be involved is subject to domestic and global competition. Although Winsome will undertake all reasonable due diligence in its business decisions and operations, Winsome 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 Lithium Projects and Winsome’s business. |
| Currently no market | There is currently no public market for Winsome’s Shares, the price of its Shares is subject to uncertainty and there can be no assurance that an active market for Winsome’s Shares will develop or continue after the Offer. The price at which Winsome’s Shares trade on ASX after listing may be higher or lower than the issue price of Shares offered under the prospectus and could be subject to fluctuations in response to variations in operating performance and general operations and business risk, as well as external operating factors over which the Directors and Winsome have no control, such as movements in mineral prices and exchange rates, changes to |

| government policy, legislation or regulation and other events or factors. There can be no guarantee that an active market in Winsome’s Shares will develop or that the price of the Shares will increase. There may be relatively few or many potential buyers or sellers of the Shares on ASX at any given time. This may increase the volatility of the market price of the Shares. It may also affect the prevailing market price at which Shareholders are able to sell their Shares. This may result in Shareholders receiving a market price for their Shares that is above or below the price that Shareholders paid. |
|
| Market conditions | Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s Shares regardless of the Company’s operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as: (a) general economic outlook; (b) introduction of tax reform or other new legislation; (c) interest rates and inflation rates; (d) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors; (e) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and (f) terrorism or other hostilities. The market price of Shares can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general and resource exploration stocks in particular. Neither Winsome nor the Directors warrant the future performance of Winsome or any return on an investment in Winsome. Further, after the end of the relevant escrow periods affecting Shares in the Company, a significant sale of then tradeable Shares (or the market perception that such a sale might occur) could have an adverse effect on the Company’s Share price. |
| Commodity price volatility and exchange rate risks |
If Winsome achieves success leading to mineral production, the revenue it will derive through the sale of product exposes the potential income of Winsome to commodity price and exchange rate risks. Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by many factors beyond the control of Winsome. Such factors include supply and demand fluctuations for precious and base metals, technological advancements, forward selling activities and other macro-economic factors. Furthermore, international prices of various commodities are denominated in United States dollars, whereas the income and expenditure of Winsome will be taken into account in Australian currency, exposing Winsome to the fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and the Australian dollar as determined in international markets. |

| Risk Category | Risk |
|---|---|
| Government policy changes |
Adverse changes in government policies or legislation may affect ownership of mineral interests, taxation, royalties, land access, labour relations, and mining and exploration activities of the Company. It is possible that the current system of exploration and mine permitting in Quebec may change, resulting in impairment of rights and possibly expropriation of the Company’s properties without adequate compensation. |
| Insurance | Winsome intends to insure its operations in accordance with industry practice. However, in certain circumstances the Company’s insurance may not be of a nature or level to provide adequate insurance cover. The occurrence of an event that is not covered or fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of the Company. Insurance of all risks associated with mineral exploration and production is not always available and where available the costs can be prohibitive. |
| Force Majeure | The Lithium Projects now or in the future may be adversely affected by risks outside the control of Winsome including labour unrest, civil disorder, war, subversive activities or sabotage, fires, floods, explosions or other catastrophes, epidemics or quarantine restrictions. |
| Taxation | The acquisition and disposal of Shares will have tax consequences, which will differ depending on the individual financial affairs of each investor. All potential investors in Winsome are urged to obtain independent financial advice about the consequences of acquiring Shares from a taxation viewpoint and generally. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Winsome, its officers and each of their respective advisors accept no liability and responsibility with respect to the taxation consequences of receiving Winsome Shares under the prospectus. |
| Litigation Risks | Winsome is exposed to possible litigation risks including tenure disputes, environmental claims, occupational health and safety claims and employee claims. Further, Winsome 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 Winsome’s operations, reputation, financial performance and financial position. Winsome is not currently engaged in any litigation. |
| Unforeseen Expenses | The proposed expenditure on the Lithium Projects may be adversely affected by any unforeseen expenses which arise in the future and which have not been considered. While Winsome is not aware of any expenses that may need to be incurred that have not been taken into account, if such expenses were incurred, the expenditure proposals of Winsome may be adversely affected. |
