As announced on 31 March 2025, the Company has entered into a binding earn-in agreement with Transcendence Mining Pty Ltd ( Transcendence ) ( Earn-In Agreement ) to fund $3 million in exploration expenditure over a three-year period ( Earn-In Period ) to acquire 70% of the issued capital in Transcendence’s subsidiary, Transcendentia Mining Pty Ltd ( Transcendentia ), which holds an option over the Carmen Copper Project ( Project ), and be granted an option to acquire the remaining 30% of the issued capital of Transcendentia subject to Norfolk having completed the earn-in ( Transaction ).

The exploration and exploitation licences comprising the Project are held by several Chilean companies and individuals (together, the Owners ). Transcendence’s subsidiary, Carmen Copper SpA ( Carmen Chile ), has entered into a binding agreement under which Carmen Chile has the exclusive right to acquire 100% of the Project subject to making certain annual option payments over a five-year period to the Owners ( Option Agreement ).

A summary of the material terms of the Earn-In Agreement and the Option Agreement is set out in Schedule 1 of this Notice.

In accordance with the terms of the Earn-In Agreement, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the issue of 425,000 Shares ( Consideration Shares ) to Transcendence (or its nominee/s) (being the subject of Resolution 1) which must be issued to Transcendence before commencement of the Earn-In Period.

1.2 Placement

In connection with the Transaction, the Company has received firm commitments from sophisticated and professional investors ( Unrelated Placement Participants ) for the issue of 10,000,000 Shares ( Placement Shares ) at an issue price of $0.10 per Share to raise $1 million (before costs) ( Placement ).

The Company has additionally received firm commitments from Mr Ben Phillips, the Company’s Executive Chairman, to subscribe for $50,000 worth of Placement Shares (being the subject of Resolution 3), and Mr Patrick Holywell, a non-executive Director of the Company, to subscribe for $20,000 worth of Placement Shares (being the subject of Resolution 4).

It is anticipated that the proceeds from the Placement will be applied toward costs associated with the Transaction and to fund high priority drilling and work programs at the Project.

1.3 Advisors

The Company has appointed Whistler Wealth Management and JP Equity Partners to act as joint lead managers ( Joint Lead Managers ) to the Placement pursuant to a mandate letter ( Joint Lead Manager Mandate ).

A summary of the material terms of the Joint Lead Manager Mandate is set out below.

Fees The Company has agreed to pay and issue (as applicable) the
following fees to the Joint Lead Managers:
(a)
a management fee equal to 6% (plus GST) of the
Placement proceeds; and
(b)
subject to Shareholder approval of Resolution 5,

5529-02/3677094_2

on a Black & Scholes valuation of the Lead Manager Options
at the date of the Meeting.

Managers will not be paid and issued (as applicable) the fees
set out above.
Term From the execution of the Joint Lead Manager Mandate until
the completion of the Placement.
Termination The Company and the Joint Lead Managers may terminate the

material breach of the Joint Lead Manager Mandate

months from the date of the Joint Lead Manager Mandate.

Transcendentia (that is, the Company completes the earn-in to

The Joint Lead Manager Mandate otherwise contains provisions considered standard for an agreement of its nature.

4. RESOLUTIONS 3 AND 4 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE PLACEMENT SHARES TO RELATED PARTIES – MR BEN PHILLIPS AND MR PATRICK HOLYWELL

4.1 General

Resolutions 3 and 4 seek Shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 10.11 and for all other purposes, for the issue of:

  • (a) up to 500,000 Placement Shares to Mr Ben Phillips (or his nominee/s) (the subject of Resolution 3); and

  • (b) up to 200,000 Placement Shares to Mr Patrick Holywell (or his nominee/s) (the subject of Resolution 4),

to enable their participation in the Company’s Placement on the same terms as the Unrelated Placement Participants ( Participation ).

4.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that for a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The Participation constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Phillips and Mr Holywell are each a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

In respect of Resolution 3, the Directors (other than Mr Ben Phillips who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue because the Shares will be issued to Mr Phillips (or his nominee/s) on the same terms as Shares issued to non-related party participants in the capital raising and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

In respect of Resolution 4, the Directors (other than Mr Patrick Holywell who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue because the Shares will be issued to Mr Holywell (or his nominee/s) on the same terms as Shares issued to non-related party participants in the capital raising and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

8

5529-02/3677094_2

4.3 Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:

  • 10.11.1 a related party;

  • 10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;

  • 10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;

  • 10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or

  • 10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The Participation falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

4.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 3 and 4 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Shares under the Participation within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and will raise additional funds which will be used in the manner set out in Section 1.2. As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of Shares under the Participation will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolutions 3 and 4 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Shares under the Participation and the additional $70,000 will not be raised under the Placement.

4.5 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13

issued
