LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

Dear Shareholder,

RE: INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE IN SECURITIES PURCHASE PLAN

On behalf of the Board of Meteoric Resources NL (“ Meteoric ” or “ the Company ”) it gives me great pleasure to invite Eligible Shareholders to participate in a securities purchase plan (“ SPP ”) to acquire New Shares and New Options in the Company at a price of $0.017 per Share.

The SPP is being conducted as part of a wider funding exercise to raise up to $2,720,000, comprising the $1,020,000 SPP and a Placement of $1,700,000.

Funds raised from this funding exercise will be used to complete a scoping study at the Juruena Gold Project in Brazil and to undertake preliminary studies for open pit and underground mining at the Palm Springs Gold Project in Western Australia along with further exploration, and for general working capital purposes.

The SPP gives Eligible Shareholders the opportunity to increase their Meteoric shareholding without paying brokerage fees or other transaction costs, irrespective of the size of your holding. Eligible Shareholders can purchase up to $30,000 worth of Shares at $0.017 per New Share with 1 free attaching New Option for every 5 New Shares subscribed for, exercisable at $0.024 on or before 28 May 2023.

All the details pertaining to the SPP are contained in this Prospectus. Please read this Prospectus carefully before deciding whether or not to invest. An investment in the Company contains specific risks which you should consider before making that decision. A non-exhaustive list of risk factors relevant to an investment in the Company is set out in Section 4. If there is any matter on which you require further information, you should consult your stockbroker, accountant or other professional advisor.

We firmly believe Meteoric has a bright future. We look forward to the ongoing support of all Shareholders as we continue on this exciting journey.

Yours sincerely,

Patrick Burke

Non-Executive Chairman

1. DETAILS OF THE OFFER

1.1 Background

On 3 November 2021, the Company announced a $2,720,000 financing package comprising:

  • (a) a single tranche placement to raise $1,700,000 before costs by the issue of 100,000,000 New Shares at $0.017 per Share with 20,000,000 free attaching New Options ( Placement ); and

  • (b) a fully underwritten securities purchase plan to Eligible Shareholders to raise up to a further $1,020,000 ( SPP Offer ).

On 9 November 2021, the Company issued 100,000,000 New Shares and 20,000,000 New Options, being the single tranche issue under the Placement. The New Shares under the Placement were issued pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A and the associated New Options were issued pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The New Shares under the Placement rank equally alongside existing fully paid ordinary shares currently on issue.

Under the SPP Offer, the Company is providing an opportunity by this Prospectus for Eligible Shareholders to participate in raising up to $1,020,000 by the SPP Offer. Under the SPP Offer, Eligible Shareholders may apply for up to $30,000 of New Shares at an issue price of $0.017 per New Share with 1 free attaching New Option for every 5 New Shares subscribed for. The SPP Offer is therefore being conducting on the same terms as the Placement.

CPS Capital Group Pty Ltd ACN 088 055 636 ( CPS ) has been appointed as Lead Manager to the Placement and Underwriter to the SPP. The Company has agreed to pay CPS or its nominee a 6% fee on funds raised plus 8,000,000 New Options for its services with respect to the Placement, together with a 6% fee on funds raised plus 6,000,000 New Options for its services with respect to the SPP. The Options issued to CPS will be issued pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

ASIC Corporations (Share and Interest Purchase Plans) Instrument 2019/547 ( ASIC Instrument 2019/547 ) allows a company to undertake a share purchase plan without the need for issuing a prospectus, so long as the share purchase plan complies with certain conditions. The Company is unable to rely on ASIC Instrument 2019/547 to undertake the SPP Offer as ASIC Instrument 2019/547 does not allow for the issue of options under a share purchase plan.

By reason of the restrictions in ASIC Instrument 2019/547, the SPP Offer (of both New Securities) is being made under this Prospectus. The Company intends to undertake the SPP Offer, to the extent that it is practicable, in accordance with the terms and conditions for share purchase plans expressed in ASIC Instrument 2019/547.

1.2 SPP Offer

  • (a) Offer details

By this Prospectus, the Company invites Eligible Shareholders to participate in the SPP.

Under the SPP, the Company offers to Eligible Shareholders a total of 60,000,000 New Shares at an issue price of $0.017 each and a total of 12,000,000 free-attaching New Options, to raise up to $1,020,000 (before costs).

Eligible Shareholders may apply for New Securities under the SPP but are not required to do so.

The SPP is subject to the terms and conditions set out in this Prospectus.

Each Eligible Shareholder is entitled to apply for up to 1,764,706 New Shares at $0.017 each regardless of the number of Shares held by that Eligible Shareholder.

(b) Eligibility to participate

Shareholders who were registered in the Company’s register of Shareholders with an Australian and New Zealand address at the Record Date (i.e. 5.00pm (WST) on 2 November 2021) will be Eligible Shareholders and may participate in the SPP, except in respect of any Shares such registered Shareholders hold on behalf of another person who resides outside of Australia and New Zealand.

4

Due to foreign securities laws, it is not practical for Shareholders resident in countries other than Australia and New Zealand to be offered the opportunity to participate in the SPP.

(c) Joint holders

Shareholders who are joint holders of Shares are taken to be a single registered Shareholder for the purposes of the SPP and the certification in the Application Form by any joint holder is taken to have been given by all joint holders.

A Shareholder who receives more than one invitation to participate in the SPP (e.g. if the Shareholder holds Shares in more than one capacity) may not apply for New Shares:

  • (i) with an aggregate value of more than $30,000; or

  • (ii) which would result in the aggregate value of the New Shares applied for (including through a Custodian (see Section 2.6 below)) under the SPP and any similar arrangement in the last 12 months being more than $30,000.

  • (d) Custodians

An Eligible Shareholder who holds Shares as Custodian (see Section 2.6 below) for one or more persons on the Record Date ( Beneficiaries ) may apply for up to the maximum number of New Securities for each Beneficiary for whom the Custodian holds Shares.

(e) Allocation and scale-back

The Directors will have discretion as to how to allocate the New Securities under the SPP in consultation with the Underwriter. The Directors will generally allocate New Securities in a manner that they consider to be fair and reasonable to Eligible Shareholders.

In the event that Applications for New Securities under the SPP exceed the total amount of the New Securities offered under the plan, then Applications will be scaled back.

The Company cannot guarantee that all Eligible Shareholders to the SPP will receive the number of New Securities applied for. If an Eligible Shareholder does not receive any or all of the New Securities applied for, the excess Application Monies will be returned to the Eligible Shareholder without interest.

The Company will not allocate New Securities under the SPP to the extent that the recipient’s voting power in the Company would breach the takeover thresholds in the Corporations Act (i.e. in circumstances where the recipient would acquire a controlling interest in 20% or more of the issued Shares, or increase an existing controlling interest of more than 20%, subject to certain exceptions).

(f) Underwriting

The Offer is fully underwritten by CPS.

A summary of the terms of the Underwriting Agreement is set out in the Annexure to this Prospectus.

1.3 Cleansing Offer

By this Prospectus, the Company invites selected investors to apply for New Options under the Cleansing Offer.

On or about 9 November 2021, the Company carried out a Placement to sophisticated and professional investors of 100,000,000 New Shares with 20,000,000 free attaching Options at an issue price of $0.017 per Option, to raise $1,700,000. 14,000,000 Options were also issued to the Lead Manager and Underwriter under the Placement and SPP.

6

The Options issued under the Placement and those issued to the Lead Manager and Underwriter (together with those Options to be issued under this SPP) are on the same terms as the Company’s existing 28 May 2023 Options ( Existing Options ). The issue of the Options under the Placement and those issued to the Lead Manager and Underwriter was undertaken without disclosure under Part 6D of the Corporations Act.

Accordingly, in the event the New Options are quoted on ASX (see Section 1.6(b) below) for the purposes of permitting the on-sale of these securities within 12 months of the date of their issue under sections 707(3) and 708(11) of the Corporations Act, this Prospectus also offers to selected investors 1,000 New Options at an issue price of $0.001 per Option to raise up to $1, in the same class as the Existing Options and the Options issued under the Placement and to the Lead Manager and Underwriter to facilitate secondary trading of the Options issued by the Company ( Cleansing Offer ).

The Options under the Cleansing Offer are on the same terms as the Existing Options and the Options issued under the Placement and to the Lead Manager.

1.4 Timetable

The Offer will open on 16 November 2021. The SPP Offer and Cleansing Offer will close at 5.00pm (WST) on 8 December 2021.

The indicative timetable for the Offer is set out in the Timetable.

The Directors reserve the right to extend the Offer Period in relation to one or more of the Offer, or to close an Offer prior to their respective Closing Date, subject to the requirements of the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules.

The Directors may withdraw this Prospectus or an Offer at any time prior to the issue of New Securities pursuant to that Offer.

1.5

Minimum subscription

The Offer is not subject to any minimum subscription condition.

1.6 ASX quotation

(a) New Shares

Application for Official Quotation on ASX of the New Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus will be made within 7 days after the Prospectus Date.

If permission for quotation of New Shares is not granted by ASX within 3 months after the Prospectus Date, the New Shares will not be allotted, and Application Monies will be refunded (without interest) as soon as practicable (where applicable).

The fact that ASX may agree to grant Official Quotation of the New Shares is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or its Securities.

(b) New Options

Application for Official Quotation on ASX of the New Options offered pursuant to this Prospectus will be made within 7 days after the Prospectus Date.

The New Options will constitute a new class of listed securities and accordingly are required to meet the requirements for quotation contained in the ASX Listing Rules. Relevantly, the ASX Listing Rules require in the case of quotation for additional securities which convert to Shares, that there to be a sufficient number of securities and holders of such securities (at least 100,000 securities and 50 holders with a Marketable Parcel excluding restricted securities). Should the New Options offered pursuant to the New Options Offer not be granted Official Quotation on the ASX within three months after the date of this Prospectus (or such other period as varied by ASIC), the Company shall issue those New Options unlisted.

To the extent Existing Options are on the same terms as the New Options, the Company will apply for Official Quotation of those Existing Options.

2.6 Determination of Custodians – SPP

A Shareholder is a Custodian if they satisfy any of the following:

Category Requirements
Licensee That Shareholder holds an Australian financial services licence (under
the Corporations Act) that covers:

the provision of a custodian or depositary service; or

the operation of an IDPS (as that term is defined in ASIC Class
Order 13/763).
Exempt by regulation
or legislative
instrument
That Shareholder is exempt under:

regulation 7.6.01(1)(k) of the_Corporations Regulations 2001_
(Cth) (Corporations Regulations);

regulation 7.6.01(na) of the Corporation Regulations;

ASIC Class Order 14/1000 or 14/1001;

Schedule 2 to the ASIC Corporate (Repeal and Transitional)
Instrument 2017/396;

an instrument, not being a legislative instrument, made by
ASIC and which applies to the person on terms similar to
Schedule 2 of ASIC Corporate (Repeal and Transitional)
Instrument 2017/396 or any of the ASIC Class Orders repealed
by that legislative instrument; or

paragraph 911A(2)(h) of the Corporations Act,
from the requirement to hold an Australian financial services licence for
the provision of a custodial or depositary service.
Superannuation trustee That Shareholder is the trustee of a self-managed superannuation fund
or a superannuation master trust (as those terms are defined in ASIC
Instrument 2019/547).
Responsible entity That Shareholder is a responsible entity of an IDPS-like scheme as that
term is defined in ASIC Instrument 2019/547.
Registered holder That Shareholder is noted on the Company’s register of Shareholders as
holding the Shares on account of another person.

If a Shareholder holds Shares as a trustee or nominee for another person or persons but is not a Custodian as defined above, that Shareholder cannot participate in the SPP for beneficiaries for whom they hold Shares in the manner described above. In such instances, the rules for multiple single holdings (above) apply.

The Company reserves the right to reject any Application to the extent that it considers that the Application (whether alone or in conjunction with other Applications) does not comply with the requirements set out above.

The Company also reserves the right to reject Applications in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Prospectus.

2.7 CHESS and issuer sponsorship

The Company participates in the Clearing House Electronic Sub-register System ( CHESS ), operated by ASX Settlement (a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX), in accordance with the Listing Rules and ASX Settlement Rules. The Company operates an electronic issuer-sponsored sub-register and an electronic CHESS sub-register. The two sub-registers together make up the Company’s principal register of its Securities.

Under CHESS, the Company does not issue certificates to the holders of Securities. Instead, the Company provides holders with a Holding Statement (similar to a bank account statement) that sets out the number of New Securities allotted and issued to them under this Prospectus.

11

This Holding Statement also advises investors of either their Holder Identification Number ( HIN ) in the case of a holding on the CHESS sub-register or Security Holder Reference Number ( SRN ) in the case of a holding on the issuer sponsored sub-register.

A Holding Statement is routinely sent to holders at the end of any calendar month during which their holding changes. A holder may request a statement at any other time; however, a charge may be incurred for additional statements.

2.8

Taxation implications

The Directors do not consider that it is appropriate to give potential Applicants advice regarding the taxation consequences of applying for New Securities under this Prospectus, as it is not possible to provide a comprehensive summary of the possible taxation positions for potential Applicants.

Neither the Company nor any of its advisers or officers accept any responsibility or liability for any taxation consequences to potential Applicants in relation to the Offer. Potential Applicants should, therefore, consult their own tax adviser in connection with the taxation implications of the Offer.

2.9

Privacy disclosure

The Company collects information about each Applicant from the Application Forms for the purpose of processing the Application and, if the Applicant is successful, for the purposes of administering the Applicant’s Security holding in the Company.

By submitting an Application Form, each Applicant agrees that the Company may use the information in the Application Form for the purposes set out in this privacy disclosure statement.

The Company and the Share Registry may disclose an Applicant’s personal information for purposes related to the Applicant’s investment to their agents and service providers including those listed below or as otherwise authorised under the Privacy Act:

  • (a) the Share Registry for ongoing administration of the Company’s register;

  • (b) the Company’s Related Bodies Corporate, agents, contractors and third party service providers, as well as to ASX, ASIC and other regulatory authorities (including the Australian Taxation Office); and

  • (c) the printers and the mailing house for the purposes of preparing and distributing Holding Statements and for the handling of mail.

If an Applicant becomes a Security holder of the Company, the Corporations Act requires the Company to include information about the security holder (name, address and details of the Securities held) in its public register. This information must remain in the Company’s register of Shareholders even if that person ceases to be a Security holder of the Company. Information contained in the Company’s register of Shareholders is also used to facilitate distribution payments and corporate communications (including the Company’s financial results, annual reports and other information that the Company may wish to communicate to its Security holders) and compliance by the Company with legal and regulatory requirements.

If an Applicant does not provide the information required on the Application Form, the Company may not be able to accept or process their Application.

Under the Privacy Act, a person may request access to their personal information held by (or on behalf of) the Company or the Share Registry. An Applicant can request access to their personal information by writing to the Company through the Share Registry.

3. EFFECT OF THE OFFER AND PLACEMENT

3.1 Principal effect of the SPP and Placement on the Company

The principal effect of the SPP and the Placement, assuming the SPP is fully subscribed, will be to:

  • (a) increase the number of Shares on issue by 160,000,000 Shares, from 1,362,291,539 Shares immediately prior to the Placement, to 1,522,291,539 Shares, representing a dilution of approximately 12% based on the total Shares on issue after completion of the Placement and the Offer (assuming that none of the Existing Options are exercised);

  • (b) increase the number of Options on issue by 46,000,000 to 156,487,719 Options; and

12

  • (c) increase cash reserves by approximately $2,568,775 (on a full subscription basis) immediately after completion of the Offer and the Placement and payment of the costs and expenses set out in Section 7.6, including the estimated expenses of the Offer.

3.2 Effect on capital structure

The capital structure of the Company following completion of the Offer and the Placement, assuming the Offer is fully subscribed, is set out below:

Notes :

  1. 51,087,719 unlisted options expiring 21 December 2023 exercisable at $0.10 and 59,400,000 unlisted options expiring on 28 May 2023 exercisable at $0.024.

3.3 Effect of the Offer and Placement on control of the Company

As at the Prospectus Date, the Company has 1,437,291,539 Shares, 130,487,719 Existing Options and 45,500,000 Performance Rights on issue.

The Company has managed the Placement and will manage the SPP Offer (including the Shortfall Offer) such that none of the Applicants will obtain a relevant interest in Shares of 20% or more.

The Company does not anticipate that the acquisition of Shares by any Shareholder under any Offer will result in any Shareholder either becoming a substantial Shareholder or obtaining a relevant interest in Shares of 20% or more.

The Company therefore does not anticipate that the Offer and Placement will have any material effect on control of the Company.

3.4 Substantial holdings

A “substantial holding” is defined under section 9 of the Corporations Act to mean a relevant interest in 5% or more of the voting shares of a company.

There are no Shareholders who hold 5% or more of the issued capital of Meteoric as per substantial shareholder notices lodged with ASX and Meteoric’s Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2021.

13

3.5 Pro forma balance sheet

Set out below is:

  • (a) the audited balance sheet of the Company as at 30 June 2021; and

  • (b) the unaudited pro forma balance sheet of the Company as at 30 June 2021 incorporating the effect of the Offer and the Placement, assuming scenarios for both 50% and 100% subscription under the SPP.

The unaudited pro forma balance sheet has been derived from the audited financial statements of the Company, for the year ended 30 June 2021, and adjusted to reflect pro forma assets and liabilities of the Company as if completion of the Offer and Placement had occurred by 30 June 2021, and also for material adjustments noted below.

The pro-forma information is presented in an abbreviated form. It does not include all of the disclosures required by the Australian Accounting Standards applicable to annual financial statements.

The pro forma balance sheet has been adjusted for the following material movements in the assets and liabilities of the Company between 30 June 2021 and the Prospectus Date:

  • (a) the issue of 100,000,000 New Shares at $0.017 each under the Placement;

  • (b) at maximum subscription the issue of 60,000,000 New Shares at $0.017 each under the SPP; and

  • (c) costs of the Placement and Offer will be approximately $151,225.

Allowance has not been made for expenditure incurred in the normal course of business from 30 June 2021 to the Prospectus Date.

4. RISK FACTORS

4.1 Introduction

Activities in the Company and its controlled entities, as in any business, are subject to risks which may impact upon the Company’s future performance. There can be no guarantee that the Company will achieve its stated objectives.

Potential investors should read the entire Prospectus and review announcements made by the Company to ASX (at www.asx.com.au under the code “MEI”) in order to gain an appreciation of the Company, its activities, operations, financial position and prospects.

An investment in the Company’s Securities should be considered speculative. Securities carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of any dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those Securities.

Potential investors should consider the risk factors set out in this Section 4 which the Directors believe represent some of the general and specific risks that Shareholders should be aware of when evaluating the Company and deciding whether to acquire any Securities in the Company. The following risk factors are not intended to be an exhaustive list of all of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed.

15

4.2 Company specific

(a) Dependence on Outside Parties

The Company has relied upon consultants, engineers and others and intends to rely on these parties for exploration, development and construction operations, and local expertise. Substantial expenditures are required to establish mineral resources and mineral reserves through drilling and economic analysis, to carry out environmental and social impact assessments, to develop metallurgical processes to extract mineral resources from the ore and to develop and build mines. If such parties’ work is deficient or negligent or is not completed in a timely manner, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

(b) Dependence on Key Personnel

Meteoric is reliant on key personnel it has employed or engaged. Loss of such personnel may have a material adverse impact on the performance of the Company. In addition, the recruitment of qualified personnel is critical to the Company’s success. As Meteoric’s business grows, it will require additional key financial, administrative, mining, marketing and public relations personnel as well as additional staff for operations.

Recruiting and retaining qualified personnel in the future is critical to the Company’s success. As the Company develops its projects, the need for skilled labour will increase. The number of persons skilled in the exploration and development of mining properties is limited and competition for this workforce is intense. The development of the projects of the Company and other initiatives of the Company may be significantly delayed or otherwise adversely affected if the Company cannot recruit and retain qualified personnel as and when required.

(c) Additional capital requirements

To date, the Company has not recorded any revenues from operations nor has the Company commenced commercial production on any property. There can be no assurance that significant losses will not occur in the near future or that the Company will be profitable in the future. The Company’s operating expenses and capital expenditures may increase in relation to the engagement of consultants, personnel and equipment associated with the continued exploration and development of the Company’s properties. The Company expects to continue to incur losses unless and until such time as it enters into commercial production and generates sufficient revenues to fund its continuing operations. The development of the Company’s properties will continue to require the commitment of substantial resources. There can be no assurance that the Company will continue as a going concern, generate any revenues or achieve profitability.

The Company will require significant capital and operating expenditures in connection with the development of its projects and funding of its exploration programs. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining the required financing as and when needed. Volatile markets may make it difficult or impossible for the Company to obtain debt or equity financing on favourable terms, if at all. Failure to obtain additional financing on a timely basis may cause the Company to postpone or slow down its development plans, forfeit rights in some or all of the Company’s properties or reduce or terminate some or all of its activities. In the event that the Company completes an equity financing, such financing could be dilutive to current shareholders who invested in the Company at higher share prices and dilutive as compared to the Company’s estimated net asset value per share and estimated mineral resource or reserve ounces per share. The Company currently has a negative operating cash flow and finances its mineral exploration activities through equity financing. The Company’s financial success will be dependent on the economic viability of its mineral properties and the extent to which it can establish economic operations.

(d) Regulatory risk, Government policy

Changes in relevant taxation, interest rates, other legal, legislative and administrative regimes and Government policies in Australia, may have an adverse affect on the assets, operations and ultimately the financial performance of the Company and the market price of its securities.

16

Meteoric has operations located in Brazil. As a result, the operations of the Company are exposed to various levels of political, economic and other risks and uncertainties associated with operating in a foreign jurisdiction. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, currency exchange rates; corruption; price controls; import or export controls; currency remittance; high rates of inflation; labour unrest; renegotiation or nullification of existing permits, applications and contracts; tax disputes; changes in tax policies; restrictions on foreign exchange; changing political conditions; community relations; currency controls; and governmental regulations that may require the awarding of contracts of local contractors or require foreign contractors to employ citizens of, or purchase supplies from, a particular jurisdiction.

Changes, if any, in mining or investment policies or shifts in political attitudes in Brazil or other countries in which Meteoric may conduct business, may adversely affect the operations of the Company. The Company may become subject to local political unrest or poor community relations that could have a debilitating impact on operations and, at its extreme, could result in damage and injury to personnel and site infrastructure.

Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations may result in enforcement actions and include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installing of additional equipment or remedial actions. Parties engaged in mining operations may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of mining activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations.

(e) Foreign mining tax regimes

Mining tax regimes in foreign jurisdictions are subject to differing interpretations and are subject to constant change. The Company’s interpretation of taxation law as applied to its transactions and activities may not coincide with that of the tax authorities. As a result, transactions may be challenged by tax authorities and the Company’s operations may be assessed, which could result in significant additional taxes, penalties and interest. In addition, proposed changes to mining tax regimes in foreign jurisdictions could result in significant additional taxes payable by the Company, which would have a negative impact on the financial results of the Company.

(f) Competition

The Company competes with many other mining companies that have substantially greater resources than the Company. Such competition may result in the Company being unable to acquire desired properties, recruit or retain qualified employees or acquire the capital necessary to fund the Company’s operations and develop its properties. The Company’s inability to compete with other mining companies for these resources could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and business.

(g) Fluctuations in prices

The price of commodities fluctuates widely and is affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company such as industrial and retail supply and demand, exchange rates, inflation rates, changes in global economies, confidence in the global monetary system, forward sales of metals by producers and speculators as well as other global or regional political, social or economic events. Future serious price declines in the market value of copper could cause the continued development of, and eventually the commercial production from, the Company’s projects and the Company’s other properties to be rendered uneconomic. Depending on prevailing prices the Company could be forced to discontinue production or development and may lose its interest in, or may be forced to sell, some of its properties. There is no assurance that, even as commercial quantities are produced, a profitable market will exist for it.

In addition to adversely affecting the reserve estimates of the Company and its financial condition, declining commodity prices can impact operations by requiring a reassessment of the feasibility of a particular project. Such a reassessment may be the result of a management decision or may be required under financing arrangements related to a particular project. Even if a project is ultimately determined to be economically viable, the

17

need to conduct such a reassessment may cause substantial delays or may interrupt operations until the reassessment can be completed.

(h) Insurance arrangements

The Company maintains insurance within ranges of coverage the Company believes to be consistent with industry practice and having regard to the nature of activities being conducted. No assurance, however, can be given that the Company will be able to continue to obtain such insurance coverage at reasonable rates or that any coverage it arranges will be adequate and available to cover any such claims.

(i) Cost estimates, permit timing and project economics

The Company’s’ costs, production, returns, payback and other financial and economic performance are dependent on a number of factors, including currency exchange rates, the price of commodities, the cost of inputs used in mining development and operations, timing of obtaining all required permits and approvals, timing of obtaining all necessary financing and events that affect cost and production levels that are not in the Company’s control. The Company’s actual costs may vary from estimates for a variety of reasons, including changing waste-to-ore ratios, ore grade, metallurgy, labour and other input costs, commodity prices, general inflationary pressures and currency exchange rates. Failure to achieve cost estimates or other economic performance metrics or material increases in costs could have an adverse impact on the Company’s future cash flows, profitability, results of operations and financial condition. As a result of the substantial expenditures involved in development projects, development projects are prone to material cost overruns versus budget. The capital expenditures and time required to develop new mines are considerable and changes in cost or construction schedules can significantly increase both the time and capital required to build the project.

A project’s development schedules are also dependent on obtaining the governmental approvals and permits necessary for operation of a project. The timeline to obtain these government approvals and permits is often beyond the control of the Company. It is not unusual in the mining industry, especially in a jurisdiction like Brazil, for new mining operations to experience construction challenges or delays and unexpected problems during the start-up phase, resulting in delays and requiring more capital than anticipated. Given the inherent risks and uncertainties associated with the development of a new mine, there can be no assurance that the construction will commence or proceed in accordance with expectation.

(j)

Currency fluctuations

Currency fluctuations may affect the Company’s capital costs and the costs that the Company incurs in its operations. The appreciation of the Brazilian Real against the USD would increase the costs of mineral resources production at such mining operations, which could materially and adversely affect the Company’s earnings and financial condition.

(k) Exploration and development risk

Development projects have no operating history upon which to base estimates of future capital and operating costs. For development projects, resource estimates and estimates of operating costs are, to a large extent, based upon the interpretation of geologic data obtained from drillholes and other sampling techniques, and feasibility studies, which derive estimates of capital and operating costs based upon anticipated tonnage and grades of ore to be mined and processed, ground conditions, the configuration of the mineral deposit, expected recovery rates of minerals from ore, estimated operating costs, and other factors. As a result, actual production, cash operating costs and economic returns could differ significantly from those estimated. It is not unusual for new mining operations to experience problems during the start-up phase, and delays in the commencement of production often can occur.

Mineral exploration is highly speculative in nature. There is no assurance that exploration efforts will be successful. Even when mineralisation is discovered, it may take several years until production is possible, during which time the economic feasibility of production may change. There is no certainty that the expenditures made towards the search and evaluation

18

of mineral deposits will result in discoveries or development of commercial quantities of ore. Further, there is no certainty that even greater expenditures relating to economic analysis or to development will result in a commercially viable project.

(l)

Resource estimate risks

There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating mineral resources, including many factors beyond the control of the Company. Such estimates are a subjective process, and the accuracy of any mineral resource estimate is a function of the quantity and quality of available data and of the assumptions made and judgements used in geological interpretation. These amounts are estimates only and the actual level of recovery of minerals from such deposits may be different. Differences between management’s assumptions, including economic assumptions such as metal prices, market conditions and actual events could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s mineral resource estimates, financial position and results of operations.

In addition, mineral reserves may not conform to geological, metallurgical or other expectations, and the volume and grade of ore may differ from estimated levels. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating mineral resources and mineral reserves, including many factors beyond the Company’s control. Such estimation is a subjective process, and the accuracy of any mineral reserve or mineral resource estimate is a function of the quantity and quality of available data and of the assumptions made and judgments used in engineering and geological interpretation. Lower market prices, increased production costs, reduced recovery rates and other factors may result in a revision of its mineral reserve estimates from time to time or may render the Company’s mineral reserves uneconomic to exploit.

(m) Licences and Permits, Laws and Regulations

The Company’s exploration and potential development activities, including mine, mill and infrastructure facilities, require permits and approvals from various government authorities, and are subject to extensive federal, state and local laws and regulations governing prospecting, development, production, transportation, exports, taxes, labour standards, occupational health and safety, mine safety and other matters. Such laws and regulations are subject to change, can become more stringent and compliance can therefore become more time consuming and costly. In addition, the Company may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of its activities. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain or obtain all necessary licences, permits and approvals that may be required to explore and develop its properties, commence construction or to operate its mining facilities.

The costs and potential delays associated with obtaining or maintaining the necessary authorisations and licences and complying with these authorisations, licences and applicable laws and regulations could stop or materially delay or restrict the Company from proceeding with the development of its project. Any failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations, authorisations or licences, even if inadvertent, could result in interruption or termination of exploration, development or mining operations or logistics operations, or material fines, penalties or other liabilities that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, reputation, properties, results of operations, financial condition, prospects or community relations.

Claims, lawsuits and injunctions may be brought by parties looking to prevent the Company from advancing its projects. The Company can make no assurance that it will be able to maintain or obtain all of the required mineral licences and authorisations on a timely basis, if at all. There is no assurance that it will obtain the corresponding mining concessions, or that if they are granted, that the process will not be heavily contested and thus costly and time consuming to the Company. In addition, it may not obtain one or more licences. Any such failure may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

19

(n) Title

The acquisition of title to resource properties is a very detailed and time-consuming process. The Company holds its interest in its properties indirectly through exploration permits and exploration applications. Title to, and the area of, the permits may be disputed, or applications may lapse. There is no guarantee that such title will not be challenged or impaired. There may be challenges to the title of the properties in which the Company may have an interest, which, if successful, could result in the loss or reduction of the Company’s interest in the properties. The Company may need to acquire title to additional surface rights and property interests to further exploration and development activities. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to acquire such additional surface rights. To the extent additional surface rights are available, they may only be acquired at significantly increased prices, potentially adversely affecting financial performance of the Company.

(o) Environmental and Compliance Issues

The Company’s activities are subject to extensive laws and regulations governing environmental protection and employee health and safety. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner that is creating stricter standards, while enforcement, fines and penalties for non-compliance are more stringent. The cost of compliance with changes in governmental regulations has the potential to reduce the profitability of operations. Furthermore, any failure to comply fully with all applicable laws and regulations could have significant adverse effects on the Company, including the suspension or cessation of operations.

The current and future operations of the Company, including development and mining activities, are subject to extensive laws and regulations governing environmental protection, including regarding protection and remediation of mining sites and other matters. Activities at the Company’s properties may give rise to environmental damage and create liability for the Company for any such damage or any violation of applicable environmental laws. To the extent the Company is subject to environmental liabilities, the payment of such liabilities or the costs that the Company may incur to remedy environmental pollution would reduce otherwise available funds and could have a material adverse effect on the Company. If the Company is unable to fully remedy an environmental problem, it might be required to suspend operations or enter into interim compliance measures pending completion of the required remedy. The potential exposure may be significant and could have a material adverse effect on the Projects and the Company. The Company intends to minimise risks by taking steps to ensure compliance with environmental, health and safety laws and regulations and operating to applicable environmental standards.

Many of the environmental laws and regulations require the Company to obtain licences for its activities. The Company must update and review its licences from time to time and is subject to environmental impact analyses and public review processes prior to approval of new activities. Meteoric can make no assurance that it will be able to maintain or obtain all of the required environmental and social licences on a timely basis, if at all.

In addition, it is possible that future changes in applicable laws, regulations and authorisations or changes in enforcement or regulatory interpretation could have a significant impact on the Company’s activities. Those risks include, but are not limited to, the risk that regulatory authorities may increase bonding requirements beyond the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ financial capabilities.

(p) Corruption and Bribery Laws

The Company’s operations are governed by, and involve interactions with, many levels of government in Australia and Brazil. In recent years, there has been a general increase in both the frequency of enforcement and the severity of penalties under such laws, resulting in greater scrutiny and punishment to companies convicted of violating anti-corruption and antibribery laws. Furthermore, a company may be found liable for violations by not only its employees, but also by its contractors and third-party agents.

Although the Company has adopted steps to mitigate such risks, such measures may not always be effective in ensuring that the Company, its employees, contractors or third-party agents will comply strictly with such laws. If the Company finds itself subject to an enforcement

20

action or is found to be in violation of such laws, this may result in significant penalties, fines and/or sanctions imposed on the Company resulting in a material adverse effect on the Company’s reputation and results of its operations.

(q)

Business risks

There are risks inherent in doing business, such as unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, trade barriers, longer payment cycles, problems in collecting accounts receivable, network and infrastructure issues and potentially adverse tax consequences, any of which could adversely impact on the success of the Company’s operations.

(r)

Contractual risk

The Company’s ability to efficiently conduct its operations in a number of respects depends upon a third-party product and service providers and contracts have, in some circumstances, been entered into by the Company and its subsidiaries in this regard. As in any contractual relationship the ability for the Company to ultimately receive benefits from these contracts are dependent upon the relevant third party complying with its contractual obligations. To the extent that such third-party defaults in their obligations, it may be necessary for the Company to enforce its rights under any of the contracts and pursue legal action. Such legal action may be costly and no guarantee can be given by the Company that a legal remedy will ultimately be granted on appropriate terms.

(s)

Potential acquisitions

As part of its business strategy, the Company may make acquisitions of or significant investments in companies, products, technologies or resource projects. Any such future transactions would be accompanied by the risks commonly encountered in making acquisitions of companies, products, technologies or resource projects.

(t)

Inherent mining risks

The Company’s business operations are subject to risks and hazards inherent in the mining industry. The exploration for and the development of mineral deposits involves significant risks, including: environmental hazards; industrial accidents; metallurgical and other processing problems; unusual or unexpected rock formations; structure cave-in or slides; flooding; fires and interruption due to inclement or hazardous weather conditions. These risks could result in damage to, or destruction of, mineral properties, production facilities or other properties, personal injury or death, environmental damage, delays in mining, increased production costs, monetary losses and possible legal liability.

Whether income will result from projects undergoing exploration and development programs depends on the successful establishment of mining operations. Factors including costs, actual mineralisation, consistency and reliability of ore grades and commodity prices affect successful project development.

(u)

COVID-19

In December 2019, a strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was identified in Wuhan, China. On 11 March 2020, the World Health Organisation declared COVID-19 a pandemic. The outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in the implementation of governmental measures, including closures, quarantines and travel bans, intended to control the spread of the virus.

The COVID-19 pandemic may prevent the Company, and other business partners, from conducting business activities for periods of time, including due to shutdowns that may be mandated by governmental authorities. Such measures taken in response to COVID-19 may adversely impact the Company’s operations and are likely to be beyond the control of the Company.

Further, the outbreak of COVID-19 is impacting global economic markets. The nature and extent of the effect of the outbreak on the performance of the Company remains unknown. The Company’s share price may be adversely affected in the short to medium term by the economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19.

The Directors are monitoring the situation and have considered the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business and financial performance.

4.3 General securities investment and market risks

(a) General economic climate

The Company's future can be affected by factors beyond its control such as supply and demand for its goods and services, and general economic conditions.

(b) Reliance on key management

The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and the strategic management of the Company and its controlled entities depends substantially on its senior management and its key personnel. There can be no assurance given that there will be no detrimental impact on the Company if one or more of these senior management, key personnel or employees cease their involvement or employment with the Company or its controlled entities.

(c) Additional requirements for capital

The continued operations of the Company are dependent on its ability to obtain financing through debt and equity financing or generating sufficient cash flows from future operations. There is a risk that the Company may not be able to access capital from debt or equity market for future projects or developments, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business and financial condition.

(d) Insurance risks

The Company maintains insurance for certain activities within ranges of coverage that it believes to be consistent with industry practice and having regard to the nature of activities being conducted. 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.

(e) Market risk and interest rate volatility

From time to time, the Company may borrow money and accordingly will be subject to interest rates which may be fixed or floating. A change in interest rates would be expected to result in a change in the interest rate to the Company and, hence, may affect its profit.

(f) Competition

There is a risk that the Company will not be able to continue to compete in the competitive industry in which it operates. The potential exists for the nature and extent of the competition to change rapidly, which may cause loss to the Company.

(g) Share market

There are general risks associated with an investment and the share market. The price of the Company's securities on the ASX may rise and fall depending on a range of factors beyond the Company's control and which are unrelated to the Company's financial performance. These factors may include movements on international stock markets, interest rates and exchange rates, together with domestic and international economic conditions, inflation rates, investor perceptions, changes in government policy, commodity supply and demand, government taxation and royalties, war, global hostilities and acts of terrorism.

(h) Liquidity risk

There is no guarantee that there will be an ongoing liquid market for the Company's securities. Accordingly, there is a risk that, should the market for the Company's securities become illiquid, Shareholders will be unable to realise their investment in the Company.

(i) Investment speculative

The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above may, in the future, materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the Company's securities.

22

(j) ASX Listing of Options

The New Options will constitute a new class of listed securities and accordingly are required to meet the requirements for quotation contained in the ASX Listing Rules. Relevantly, the ASX Listing Rules require in the case of quotation for additional securities which convert to Shares, that there to be a sufficient number of securities and holders of such securities (at least 100,000 securities and 50 holders with a Marketable Parcel excluding restricted securities). Should the New Options offered pursuant to the New Options Offer not be granted Official Quotation on the ASX within three months after the date of this Prospectus (or such other period as varied by ASIC), the Company shall issue those New Options unlisted.

4.4

Other

Other risk factors include those normally found in conducting business, including litigation through breach of agreements or in relation to employees (through personal injuries, industrial matters or otherwise) or any other cause, strikes, lockouts, loss of service of key management or operational personnel and other matters that may interfere with the Company’s business or trade.

5. RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES ATTACHED TO NEW SECURITIES

5.1 Rights and liabilities attaching to New Shares

The New Shares issued under this Prospectus will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and will rank equally with the Shares on issue at the Prospectus Date.

The following is a broad summary (though not necessarily an exhaustive or definitive statement) of the rights and liabilities attaching to Shares. Full details of the rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares are contained in the Constitution and, in certain circumstances, are regulated by the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules, the ASX Settlement Rules and the common law. The Constitution is available for inspection free of charge at the Company’s registered office.

In the case of an equality of votes, the chairperson does not have a casting vote.

(b) Dividends

Subject to the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules and any rights or restrictions attached to a class of shares, the Company may pay dividends as the Directors resolve. The Directors may determine the method and time for payment of the dividend.

(c) Winding up

(d) Transfer of Shares

Generally, shares are freely transferable, subject to satisfying the requirements of the ASX Listing Rules, the ASX Settlement Operating Rules and the Corporations Act. The Directors may decline to register any transfer of Shares but only where permitted to do so by the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules, the ASX Settlement Operating Rules, or under the Company’s Constitution.

(e) Further Increases in Capital

Subject to the Corporations Act, and the ASX Listing Rules, and any rights attached to a class of shares, the Company (under the control of the Directors) may allot and issue shares and grant options over shares, on any terms, at any time and for any consideration, as the Directors resolve.

23

(f) Variation of Rights

Subject to the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules, the ASX Settlement Operating Rules and the terms of issue of shares in a particular class, the Company may vary or cancel rights attached to shares in that class by either special resolution passed at a general meeting of the holders of the shares in that class, or with the written consent of the holders of at least 75% of the votes in that class.

(g) Meetings and Notices

Each Shareholder will be entitled to receive notice of, and to attend and vote at, general meetings of the Company and to receive notices, accounts and other documents required to be furnished to Shareholders under the Company’s Constitution, the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules.

5.2 Terms and conditions of New Options

The terms and conditions of the New Options are as follows:

  • (a) Each Option shall entitle the Option holder, when exercised, to one Share.

  • (b) The Options are exercisable wholly or in part at any time prior to 5.00 pm (AEST) on 28 May 2023 ( Expiry Date ). Options not exercised by that date shall lapse.

  • (c) Each Option may be exercised by notice in writing to the Company, together with the payment for the number of Shares in respect of which the Options are exercised, at any time before the Expiry Date. Any notice of exercise of an Option received by the Company will be deemed to be a notice of the exercise of that Option as at the date of receipt.

  • (d) The Option exercise price is A$0.024 per Option.

  • (e) Shares issued upon exercise of the Options will be issued following receipt of all the relevant documents and payments and will rank equally in all respect with the then issued Shares.

  • (f) Application will be made to ASX for official quotation by ASX of all Shares allotted pursuant to the exercise of Options not later than 10 business days after the date of allotment.

  • (g) Subject to the Corporations Act, the Constitution and the Listing Rules, the Options are freely transferable.

  • (h) There are no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the Options and Option holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of securities offered to Shareholders during the currency of the Options. However, the Company will ensure that for the purposes of determining entitlements to any such issue, the record date will be at least 5 Business Days after the issue is announced so as to give Option holders the opportunity to exercise their Options before the date for determining entitlements to participate in any issue.

  • (i) If at any time the issued capital of the Company is reorganised, the rights of an Option holder are to be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules applying to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.

This is a Prospectus for the offer of continuously quoted securities (as defined in the Corporations Act), and options to acquire continuously quoted securities, of the Company and is issued pursuant to section 713 of the Corporations Act as a transaction specific prospectus.

which apply to disclosing entities, and which require the Company to notify ASIC of information available to the stock market conducted by ASX, throughout the 12 months before the issue of this Prospectus.

The Shares to be issued under this Prospectus are in a class of securities that were quoted on the stock market of ASX at all times in the 12 months before the issue of this Prospectus.
