1. Chairman’s Letter
Dear Investor
On behalf of the directors of Orange Minerals NL ( Company ), it gives me great pleasure to invite you to become a shareholder of the Company.
The Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Orange Minerals (NSW) Pty Ltd ( Orange (NSW) ) and Majestic Gold Mines Pty Ltd ( Majestic ) hold a portfolio of tenements in the Lachlan Fold Belt region in New South Wales, and the Eastern Goldfields region in Western Australia.
The Lachlan Fold Belt is a leading Australian province for bulk tonnage, low operating cost gold-base metal mines such as the Tomingley Gold Mine (Alkane Resources Ltd), North Parkes Gold Mine (CMOC Resources Ltd), Copper Hill Mine (Golden Cross Resources Ltd) and Cadia Gold Mine (Newcrest Mining Limited). The Company’s Lachlan Fold Belt projects are divided into four key areas: the Calarie Project, the Wisemans Creek Project, the Copper Hill Project and the Boda Project.
The Calarie Project and the Wisemans Creek Project are the initial primary focus of the Company, building on recent historical exploration activities which have identified significant gold and other base metal targets. Planned exploration activities, including validation of the historical resource on the Calarie Project through drilling and geophysics and confirmation of existing mineralisation revealed from historical drilling at Wisemans Creek (and testing for potential extensions at depth) provide the Company with excellent near term opportunities to further develop these projects.
Over in Western Australia, the Eastern Goldfields region is located within the Eastern Goldfields Superterrane and is located approximately 50km east of the regional town of Kalgoorlie in the area around the Imperial Majestic Gold Mine, Mt Monger Gold Mine and Kalgoorlie Golden Mile. The Company’s Eastern Goldfield projects are divided into two key areas: the Majestic Project and the Kurnalpi Project. The Company plans to build on recent detailed mapping and targeting studies areas over the Majestic Project and Kurnalpi Project and the compilation of a comprehensive dataset of historical exploration data (including geological and geophysical data, over 13,000 auger samples and 5,000 drill holes) through further geophysics and geochemistry to confirm mineralised trends for follow up exploration.
This Prospectus is seeking to raise $7,000,000 through the issue of Shares at an issue price of $0.20 per Share under the Offer. Details of the Offer are set out in Section 4. The purpose of the Offer is to provide funds to implement the Company’s proposed exploration programs and business strategies (explained in Section 5). The majority of the proceeds from the Offer will be applied towards exploration programs on the Projects and to support future growth of the Company.
Our Board and management team have expertise and experience in exploring for gold and base metals across Australia and finding and developing major deposits.
This Prospectus is issued for the purpose of supporting an application to list the Company on ASX. An ASX listing will provide new shareholders the opportunity to invest in the Company, improve the Company’s ability to access capital markets and enhance the Company’s profile.
This Prospectus contains detailed information about the Company, its business and the Offer, as well as the risks of investing in the Company. The Shares offered by this Prospectus should be considered highly speculative.
I look forward to you joining us as a Shareholder and sharing in what we believe are exciting and prospective times ahead for the Company. Before you make your investment decision, I urge you to read this Prospectus in its entirety and seek professional advice if required.
Yours sincerely

Summary
b) Wisemans Creek Project
The Wisemans Creek Project is located in the south-east of the Company’s NSW project area. The project consists of four tenements including the Wisemans Creek Prospect, EL8554 (which is currently under a formal joint venture agreement between the Company and Godolphin Resources Ltd, see Section 9.1 for further details) and three additional leases held by the Company (EL 9239, EL9244 and EL 9249).
Numerous historical exploration activities have taken place across EL8554 by various companies, including tenement wide stream sampling and rock chip sampling, outcrop mapping, geological surveys and drilling. Ardea Resources Limited recently commissioned a tenement wide exploration and targeting review across EL8554 which involved a compilation of historical drillhole, rock chip and soil geochemical datasets together with Landsat Imagery and stream sediment data. The review identified 14 target areas prospective for various mineralisation styles including VMS, porphyry and skarn related mineralisation.
The project is considered to be an early stage exploration project, with historical exploration results at the Bullock Creek prospect indicating the area is prospective for gold and silver mineralisation. Building on recent exploration work, the Company plans to undertake an RC drill programme of approximately 750m at the Wisemans Creek Prospect (EL8554) with the goal of confirming existing gold mineralisation and to test for potential extensions at depth. The Company will also be completing a full desktop review of the project area including review of geophysical and geochemical data to isolate potential targets for further exploration.
c) Copper Hill Project
The Copper Hill Project comprises three exploration licences (EL8323, EL8632 and EL9214). The Company’s interest in EL8323 is subject to the farm-in and joint venture agreement reached with Godolphin Resources Ltd (see Section 9.1).
The Copper Hill Project area has a long history of mining with first payable gold workings recorded from the area in 1851. The project area lies within the Molong Volcanic Belt, with sediments of the Mubil Shelf on the western side of the project, and early Hill End trough sediments to the east. The volcanics and sediment packages are separated by the regionally extensive Godolphin Thrust, and the WNW-trending LTZ crosscuts the southern part of the Project area. Historical exploration activities include regional geological mapping, stream sediment geochemistry, rock chip sampling, airborne magnetics and EM surveys conducted by various companies. Recent data review and targeting work on EL8323 has identified various target areas prospective for porphyry Cu-Au-Mo, orogenic gold and structurally hosted base metal mineralisation, however further work is required to advance the understanding of the project prospectivity.
The project is considered to be an early stage exploration project, with potential for porphyry style Cu-Au mineralisation. The Company’s initial focus will be undertaking a desktop review of the project including a review of geophysical and geochemical data to establish targets for further exploration activities, including drilling.

Recent exploration activities include desktop reviews and mineral potential studies on EL8505 using rock chip sampling data and review of proximity to existing deposits and mineral occurrences.
The project is considered to be a very early stage exploration project. The Company’s initial focus will be undertaking a desktop review of the project including a review of geophysical and geochemical data to establish targets for further exploration activities.
e) Majestic and Kurnalpi Projects
The Eastern Goldfields project region spans a distance of approximately 50km, within the Kurnalpi Terrane of the Eastern Goldfields. The project is located approximately 50km east of the regional town of Kalgoorlie in the area around the Majestic, Kurnalpi and Mt Monger gold mining centres. The Majestic and Kurnalpi Projects comprise 58 variably distributed granted and pending tenements. The tenement package includes 5 granted exploration licences (E25/0484, E25/0579, E25/0591, E26/0218 and E28/2294), 1 granted mining lease (M25/0367), 30 granted prospecting licences and 22 prospecting licences under application.
The project is divided into a northern (Kurnalpi) and a southern (Majestic) area. The Majestic area is dominated by the Juglah Dome which is a structural feature consisting of calc-alkaline felsic to intermediate intrusive volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks of the Kurnalpi Terrane, structurally overlain by an older west dipping package of mafic-ultramafic greenstones of the Kalgoorlie Terrane. The Kurnalpi tenement (E28/2294) is located 40 km to the northeast, within mafic volcanic rocks and minor sili-clastic and ultramafic units of the Kurnalpi Terrane, and is associated with the west dipping Avoca Fault.
There has been a long history of gold exploration and mining in tenements surrounding the project area, most notably from Mt Monger and the MajesticImperial Goldfields Mines. Various studies have been commissioned recently on the Projects, including a tenement focused field mapping campaign, compilation of a dataset from available historical exploration data including geological mapping, geophysical and historical sample data (13,000 auger samples, and approximately 5,000 drill holes) and a prospectivity and exploration target review.

3.3 Summary of key risks
==> picture [483 x 556] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
Topic Summary Details
What are the key The business, assets and operations of the Company are subject to certain Section 8
investment risks? risk factors that have the potential to influence the operating and financial
performance of the Company in the future. These risks can impact on the value
of an investment in the Securities of the Company.
The Board aims to manage these risks by carefully planning its activities and
implementing risk control measures. Some of these risks are, however, highly
unpredictable and the extent to which the Board can effectively manage them
is limited.
An investment in the Company should be considered highly speculative. This
Section summarises only some of the risks which apply to an investment in
the Company and investors should refer to Section 8 for further information.
Limited History Having been incorporated on 24 May 2021, the Company has limited operating Section 8.1(a)
history and limited historical financial performance. The Company does not
generate profits. Limited exploration has previously been conducted on the
Projects and the Company’s exploration activities at the Projects to date
is limited to those which are described in further detail in the Independent
Geologist’s Report in Section 14. As such, no assurance can be given that the
Company will achieve commercial viability through the successful exploration
or subsequent mining on its Projects. Until the Company is able to realise value
from its Projects, it is likely to incur ongoing operating losses.
Exploration and The Tenements comprising the Projects are at various stages of exploration Section 8.1(b)
development and development, and potential investors should understand that mineral
risks exploration and development are high-risk undertakings, only occasionally
providing high rewards. In addition to the normal competition for prospective
ground, and the high average costs of discovery of an economic deposit,
factors such as demand for commodities, stock market fluctuations affecting
access to new capital, sovereign risk, environmental issues, labour disruption,
project financing difficulties, foreign currency fluctuations and technical
problems all affect the ability of a company to profit from any discovery.
No assurance can be given that any particular level of recovery from mineral
resources or reserves will in fact be realised or that an identified mineral
resource will ever qualify as commercially viable which can be legally and
economically exploited. In addition, there can be no assurance that exploration
of the Company’s mineral interests, or any other projects that may be acquired
by the Company in the future, will result in the discovery of an economically
viable mineral deposit that can be profitably exploited.
Operational risks The operations of the Company may be affected by various factors including Section 8.1(c)
failure to locate or identify mineral deposits, failure to achieve predicted grades
in exploration or 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,
fire, explosions and other incidents beyond the control of the Company.

Topic Summary Details
No defined The Company, at this time, does not have any JORC 2012 Code compliant Section 8.1(d)
resources mineral resources or reserves on its Projects, and previous exploration over the
areas covered by the Projects is limited. There can be no assurance that future
exploration and development activities on the Projects, or any other mineral
permits that may be acquired in the future, will result in the identification of an
economically viable mineral deposit.
Resource Whilst the Company intends to undertake exploration activities with the aim Section 8.1(e)
estimates of defining a JORC Code 2012 compliant resource, no assurances can be
given that exploration will result in the determination of a resource on any
Tenement. Even if a resource is identified, no assurance can be provided that
this can be economically extracted. By their very nature, resource estimates are
imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may prove to
be inaccurate and may materially adversely affect the Company’s operations.
Results of studies Subject to the results of exploration and testing programs to be undertaken, Section 8.1(f)
the Company may progressively undertake a number of studies in relation
to the Projects. These studies may include scoping, pre-feasibility, definitive
feasibility and bankable feasibility studies. The Company’s intends to complete
such studies within parameters designed to determine the economic feasibility
of the subject Projects within certain limits. There can be no guarantee that any
of these studies will confirm the economic viability of the subject Projects or
that the results of other studies undertaken by the Company will be consistent
with the results of previous studies undertaken.
Metallurgy Metal and/or mineral recoveries are dependent upon the metallurgical process Section 8.1(g)
that is required to liberate economic minerals and produce a saleable product
and by nature contain elements of significant risk.
Commodity As an explorer for gold and base metals including copper, and potentially Section 8.1(h)
prices and other minerals, any future earnings of the Company are expected to be closely
demand related to the price of those commodities. Commodity prices fluctuate and are
affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company. This could
have a positive or negative effect on the Company’s exploration and project
development plans, together with the ability to fund those plans and activities.
Environmental The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to State Section 8.1(i)
risks and Federal laws and regulations concerning the environment. 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.
Significant liabilities could be imposed on the Company 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.
There is also a risk that environmental laws and regulations become more
onerous making the Company’s operations more expensive. Amendments to
current laws, regulations and permits governing operations and activities of
mining companies, or a more stringent implementation thereof, could have a
material impact on the Company and cause increases in exploration expenses,
capital expenditures or production costs or require abandonment or delays in
the exploration or development of the Company’s Tenements.

Topic Summary Details
Tenement Title Interests in tenements in Western Australia and New South Wales are governed Section 8.1(j)
by legislation and are evidenced by the granting of licences. Each licence
is granted for a specific term and carries with it expenditure and reporting
commitments, as well as other conditions requiring compliance. Consequently,
the Company could lose title to, or its interest in, a Tenement if licence
conditions are not met or if insufficient funds are available to meet expenditure
commitments as and when they arise.
Further, a number of the Tenements are pending applications. There is a risk
that the applications for Tenements may not be granted in their entirety or only
granted on conditions unacceptable to the Company.
COVID-19 risk The outbreak of COVID-19 is impacting global economic markets. The nature Section 8.2(a)
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.
Further, any governmental or industry measures taken in response to COVID-19
may adversely impact the Company’s operations, including access to its
Projects to conduct exploration activities, and are likely to be beyond the
control of the Company.
The Directors are monitoring the situation closely and have considered the
impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business and financial performance.
However, the situation is continually evolving, and the consequences are
therefore inevitably uncertain.
Other Company In addition to the above risks, the Company is subject to additional risks Sections 8.1
specific risks customarily associated with exploration companies, including risks relating to: and 8.2
a. native title;
b. aboriginal heritage;
c. land access and compensation;
d. future capital needs;
e. loss of key personnel;
f. agents and contractors;
g. new projects and acquisitions;
h. royalties;
i. climate risk;
j. regulatory compliance; and
k. downturn in the resources industry.
These risks, together with other general business and investment risks (many of
which are largely beyond the control of the Company) are set out in more detail
in Section 8.

4.5 ASX Listing
The Company will apply to ASX within seven days after the date of this Prospectus for admission to the Official List and for Official Quotation of the Shares, other than any Shares that the ASX is likely to treat as “restricted securities” (as that term is defined in the Listing Rules). Refer to Section 4.9 for further details on the Company’s restricted securities.
If the Shares are not admitted to Official Quotation by ASX before the expiration of three months after the date of issue of this Prospectus, or such period as varied by the ASIC, the Company will not issue any Shares and all application monies received for the Shares will be repaid within the time prescribed under the Corporations Act, without interest.
The fact that ASX may grant Official Quotation to the Shares is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the Shares now offered.
4.6 Use of funds
The Company intends to apply funds raised from the Offer, together with existing cash reserves post-admission, over the first two years following admission of the Company to the Official List of ASX as follows:
| Amount | Percentage | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Funds available | ($) | (%) | ||
| Existing cash reserves | $983,709 | 12.32% | ||
| Funds raised from the Ofer | $7,000,000 | 87.68% | ||
| Total | $7,983,709 | 100.00% | ||
| Exploration Expenditure | $4,650,000 | 58.24% | ||
| Expenses of the Ofer | $660,000 | 8.27% | ||
| Business Development Expenses | $350,000 | 4.38% | ||
| Administration costs | $500,000 | 6.26% | ||
| Working capital | $1,823,709 | 22.84% | ||
| Total | $7,983,709 | 100.00% |
It is anticipated that the funds raised under the Offer will enable two years of full operations. It should be noted that the Company may not be fully self-funding through its own operational cash flow at the end of this period. Accordingly, the Company may require additional capital beyond this point, which will likely involve the use of additional debt or equity funding. Future capital needs will also depend on the success or failure of the Company’s products.
The above table is a statement of current intentions as of the date of this Prospectus. As with any budget, intervening events (including trial success or failure) and new circumstances have the potential to affect the manner in which the funds are ultimately applied. The Board reserves the right to alter the way funds are applied on this basis.
The Board considers that following completion of the Offer, the Company will have sufficient working capital to carry out its stated objectives as set out in this Prospectus. It should however be noted that an investment in the Company is highly speculative, and investors are encouraged to read the risk factors outlined in Section 8.

5.4 Calarie Project
Background
Located on the Western side of the Company’s NSW Project area and covering an area of 137km[2] between the towns of Parkes and Forbes, the Calarie Project consists of three tenements each at various stages of historical development. These tenements are the Calarie Mine (ML739), which hosts a historical mineral resource estimate, Calarie Extended (EL8580) which has near mine prospectivity and Wattle Grove (EL8555) which hosts numerous historical exploration prospects. All Calarie Project tenements are subject to a farm-in and joint venture agreement with Godolphin Resources (see Section 9.1).
A map of the Calarie Project tenements is shown in the image below.
==> picture [402 x 441] intentionally omitted <==
32 ORANGE MINERALS NL Prospectus
==> picture [596 x 131] intentionally omitted <==
The Calarie Project is located in the north-south trending Forbes-Parkes Belt, which forms part of the Junee-Narromine Volcanic Belt (JNVB), south of the Lachlan Transverse Zone. The local stratigraphy and structure of the area is detailed and well documented with studies undertaken by Geological Survey of NSW across the broader region in 1990. The area is dominated by two main rock types - the Parkes and Nash Hill Ordovician volcanics and younger Ordovician-Silurian intermediate volcanics, sediments and cherts.
The Ordovician volcanics of the JNVB are considered to be prospective for porphyry style Cu-Au mineralisation; however the Calarie project is considered a structurally controlled Gold terrain. Two styles of mineralisation are observed from historical workings in the project area: (i) gold mineralization at altered contacts between volcanic and sedimentary rocks; and (ii) narrow vein quartz deposits.
The area has a long history of mining, with the most significant being the London-Victoria gold mine and processing plant located to the north of the tenements.
Exploration history
Hard rock and alluvial gold has been mined across the project area since the 1900’s. Significant mines in the area include the structurally controlled gold Tomingley Gold Mine owned and operated by Alkane Resources Ltd, and the historic London-Victoria and Peak Hill Mines.
Historical exploration activities across the project area, have focused on multiple prospective targets for structural or contact related gold mineralisation. Local structural and stratigraphic relationships and interpretations have been sequentially compiled and reviewed by various companies over time, supported by various exploration activities including geophysics, magnetics, radiometrics, outcrop mapping, stream sampling, soil sampling and drilling (including RC and diamond). Prior mineral resource estimation work has been undertaken at Calarie by various companies, however, these estimations are not compliant with JORC Code 2012 and cannot be disclosed by the Company.
Recent exploration activities across the Calarie Project have focused on developing project wide datasets and desktop reviews to understand the broader potential for mineralisation across the project area. This work has been undertaken by Godolphin Resources, with the resulting 2D data compilation map supporting multiple exploration trends across the broader project area. The targeting study identified 8 key areas across the Project prospective for Au mineralisation and further exploration activities, with priority assigned to the development of the upgrade of the historical Lachlan Mine Resource to JORC Code 2012 standards and development of near mine exploration targets.

Exploration trends across the Calarie Project area are shown in the image below.
==> picture [349 x 469] intentionally omitted <==
Exploration Potential
The Calarie Project is considered to be an advanced exploration project, prospective for structurally hosted gold. Historical mining activities and drilling results indicate that ML739 on the Calarie project is highly prospective for structurally hosted gold, both within the current drilled extents of the historical resource and at depth and along strike. Furthermore, soil sampling, minor drilling results, historical mining activities, geophysics and geological interpretation of the extended Parkes thrust suggest that the broader Project area is prospective for repeated zones of elevated gold grades along a strike of 8km.
Key risks with the Calarie Project is the dependence of the understanding on the development and interpretation of the Historical Lachlan Mine Resource. Immediate opportunity exists to validate historical drilling and datasets, including validation and checks on collar locations, sampling methods, geochemical assay data, geological logging review and structural review to validate 3D mineralisation models and develop near mine exploration targeting models and strategy.
Structurally hosted gold is generally considered to be highly variable, thus there is risk associated with the spatial continuity of the mineralised zones.
The Company will look to improve geological confidence in the target modelling through its planned exploration activities on the Project. The Company plans to undertake an RC drilling programme of approximately 1,500m at the Calarie Project, expected to commence in Q2 of the 2021/2022 financial year. This programme is targeted at verifying the historical resources and testing for extensions. The Company also intends to undertake a desktop review of geophysical and geochemical data to define exploration targets for follow-up exploration.

5.5 Wisemans Creek Project
Background
The Wisemans Creek project is located in the south-east of the Company’s NSW project area. The project is comprised of four granted exploration licences including (EL8554), which is subject to a farm-in and joint venture agreement with Godolphin Resources Ltd (see Section 9.1) and three leases held by the Company in its own right (EL9239, EL9244 and EL 9249).
A map of the Wisemans Creek Project tenements is shown in the image below.
==> picture [442 x 328] intentionally omitted <==
The Wisemans Creek project is located in the Rockley-Gulong Volcanic Belt of the Lachlan Fold Belt and consist of volcanics and sediments of the Ordovician-early Silurian aged Macquarie Arc and younger sediments of the early Devonian Hill End trough. In contrast to other project areas, EL8554 is dominated by later Carboniferous intrusions, including the Tarara Granite which forms an arcuate belt in the northern part of the tenement, Bathurst batholith including the Oberon and Duckmaloi Granites in the south-eastern parts of the tenement and interpreted dyke intrusions in the east of the tenement. The area presents a dominant north-south trending structural fabric presenting as faults, thrusts and isoclinal folding.
The occurrence of granite batholiths present complex geological associations, in particular resulting in varied alteration and mineralisation styles. Stronger iron oxide alteration noted in the eastern parts of the tenements and the western parts being dominated by alumina-magnesium minerals. Mineralization occurrences across the project area are highly varied, with historical mining and exploration of epithermal gold-silver, orogenic gold, porphyry copper gold, skarn hosted copper gold and volcanic hosted massive sulphides hosting Cu-Zn-Pb-Au and Ag. Skarn deposits are associated with contact between granites and sediments.

Exploration history
Numerous historical exploration activities have taken place across EL8554, by various companies. Activities include stream sampling, rock chip sampling, outcrop mapping, geophysical surveys and drilling. Ardea Resources Limited recently commissioned a tenement wide exploration and targeting review across EL8554 primarily using Landsat Imagery and stream sediment data to identify anomalous metal concentrations, in the absence of comprehensive outcrop mapping and comprehensive insitu rock chip sampling by drilling methods.
Drillhole, rock chip and soil geochemical datasets were selectively compiled from hard copy records with spatial discrepancies of up to 100m noted between recorded collar locations, in particular at the Duckmaloi project. Fourteen unranked areas were identified as prospective for various mineralisation styles including VMS, porphyry and skarn related mineralisation. Notably, 10 out of 88 historical drillholes compiled for the Black Bullock Prospect indicate elevated Au values associated with historical IP and magnetic anomalies.
Target areas identified across EL8554 are shown in the image below.

Exploration Potential
The Wisemans Creek Project is considered to be an early stage exploration project, with historical exploration results at the Bullock Creek prospect indicating the area is prospective for gold and silver mineralisation. The area is geologically differentiated by the abundance of carboniferous granite intrusions, increasing prospectivity for variety of deposits styles including VMS base metal, Skarn hosted W-Bi, porphyry Coper gold and orogenic gold. Exploration targets across the project area are historical in nature with limited tenement scale exploration activities and review undertaken.
The Company plans to undertake an initial RC drilling programme of approximately 750m at the Wisemans Creek Prospect tenement (EL8554), expected to commence following completion of the Calarie Project drill programme referred to above. The goal of this drill campaign is to confirm existing gold mineralisation established by historic drilling and test for potential extensions at depth. The Company will also be completing a full desktop review of the project area including review of geophysical and geochemical data to isolate potential targets for exploration.
5.6 Copper Hill Project
Background
The Copper Hill Project comprises three exploration licences consisting of EL8323, EL8632 and EL9214. The Company’s interest in EL8323 is subject to the farm-in and joint venture agreement reached with Godolphin Resources Ltd (see Section 9.1). The project area has long history of mining with first payable gold workings recorded from the area in 1851. Historical prospects and workings on EL8323 include Ophir, Dead Horse gully, Summerhill Creek and Pine Forest.
The Copper Hill Project area lies within the Molong Volcanic Belt, with sediments of the Mubil Shelf on the western side of the project area, and early Hill End trough sediments to the east. The volcanics and sediment packages are separated by the regionally extensive Godolphin Thrust, and the WNW-trending LTZ crosscuts the southern part of the project area. The area is dominated by thrust faults and folding, off-setting sedimentary and volcanic packages. Significant north-northwest trending faults include McDonalds Hill, Lewis Ponds and the Godolphin Fault in southern and central project areas. Alteration in the area is associated with veining, dominantly occurring as silica chlorite-pyrite-sericite. No porphyry style assemblages have been identified, despite lying within the LTZ which is identified as regionally prospective zone of weakness for Porphyry style mineralisation. Area thought to be prospective for orogenic style Au (shear and vein hosted), placer/alluvial and VHMS style mineralization, with mineralisation interpreted to occur along interpreted NE cross cutting faults.
Exploration history
Limited data has been made available on historical exploration activities across the Copper Hill Project area. Exploration on EL8323 has been recorded as discontinuous since the 1960s and has included regional geological mapping, stream sediment geochemistry, rock chip sampling, airborne magnetics and EM surveys conducted by various companies including Delta Gold in 1997 and New Origin Gold Corp and Placer Dome in 2002. Very little drilling has been noted within the tenement.
A comprehensive data review and target generation report was recently commissioned for Godolphin Resources Ltd on EL8323. Historical publicly available exploration datasets were collated from NSW open database Minview, including surface geochemistry, drilling data geophysics and Landsat 8. Data was used to undertake a desktop review and targeting study in which ten areas were identified as having potential porphyry Cu-Au-Mo, VHMS, orogenic gold and structurally hosted base metal mineralisation. Recent exploration activities on EL8323 have been focused on finalising Native Title agreements around Ophir and conducting further desktop studies/investigations into soil/stream copper anomalies in surrounding prospects.
Exploration Potential
The Copper Hill Project is considered to be an early stage exploration project, with potential for porphyry style Cu-Au mineralisation. Further project wide exploration activities are required to advance understanding of project prospectivity.
The Company’s initial focus will be undertaking a desktop review of the project including a review of geophysical and geochemical data to establish targets for exploration activities including drilling.

5.7 Boda Project
Background and Exploration History
The Boda Project areas is located in the Northern NSW project area approximately 100km east of the township of Dubbo. The project area consists of EL9032, EL9109 and the partial area of EL8505. Tenement EL8505 has been subject to recent partial relinquishments.
Recent exploration activities were undertaken on EL8505 following desktop studies completed in 2019. In 2020, mineral potential studies for porphyry copper-gold, VMS and skarn copper-gold deposits, using limited rock chip sampling data and proximity review to existing deposits and mineral occurrences in the region were commissioned. Targets identified were reported to be conceptual in nature and not yet mature enough for drill testing at this time.
Exploration Potential
The Boda Project is considered to be a very early stage exploration project. Further project wide exploration activities are required to advance the understanding of the project prospectivity. The Company’s initial focus will be undertaking a desktop review of the project including a review of geophysical and geochemical data to establish targets for exploration activities.
5.8 Overview of Eastern Goldfields Project Region
Background
The Eastern Goldfields project region spans a distance of approximately 50km, within the Kurnalpi Terrane of the Eastern Goldfields. The project is located approximately 50km east of the regional town of Kalgoorlie in the area around the Majestic, Kurnalpi and Mt Monger gold mining centres. The Majestic and Kurnalpi Projects comprise 58 variably distributed granted and pending tenements. The project comprises five granted exploration licences (E25/0484, E25/0579, E25/0591, E26/0218 and E28/2294), one granted mining lease (M25/0367), thirty granted prospecting licences and twenty-two prospecting licences under application (collectively the ‘ WA Project Area ’). These tenements have been broken down into two distinct projects, the Majestic Project and the Kurnalpi Project.
The location of the tenements comprising the Majestic Project and the Kurnalpi Project are shown in the image below.
38 ORANGE MINERALS NL Prospectus
==> picture [596 x 131] intentionally omitted <==
Nearby mines include the Imperial-Majestic Gold Mine which lies approximately 3km to the south, the Mt Monger Gold Mine which lies approximately 4km to the east, and the Kalgoorlie gold mine which lies approximately 50km to the east.
Geological Setting
The WA Project Area is located in the Eastern Goldfields Superterrane (EGST); a package of sediments and volcanics which were emplaced during repeated periods of intracontinental rifting and accretion, during the creation of the West Australian Yilgarn Craton. Northwest-southeast trending corridors of fault bounded Archean aged greenstone sequences define sub-terranes within the EGST. The Project is dominantly located at the margin of two of these sub- terranes, the Kurnalpi Terrane and the Kalgoorlie Terrane, that form part of the Kalgoorlie-Kurnalpi Rift (KKR).
The WA Project Area is divided into a northern (Kurnalpi) and a southern (Majestic) area. The Majestic area is dominated by the Juglah Dome which is a structural feature consisting of calc-alkaline felsic to intermediate intrusive volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks of the Kurnalpi Terrane, structurally overlain by an older west dipping package of mafic-ultramafic greenstones of the Kalgoorlie Terrane. Approximately half of the tenements are located in the felsic rocks of the Kurnalpi Juglah Dome and the other half in the mafic-ultramafic units of the Kalgoorlie greenstone terrane.
The Kurnalpi tenement (E28/2294) is located 40km to the northeast, within mafic volcanic rocks and minor siliclastic and ultramafic units of the Kurnalpi Terrane, and is associated with the west dipping Avoca Fault.
The local geological setting of the Majestic Project is shown in the image below.
==> picture [260 x 414] intentionally omitted <==
Key structures in the Project area include the west dipping Majestic Fault, Goddard Fault, and the Juglah Fault, which all have contributed to the thrusting of the older Kalgoorlie greenstones over younger more competent rocks of the Juglah Dome; the west dipping Emu and Avoca faults in the north-western corner of the Project area, and the Bulong Anticline which defines a regional fold axis.
Exploration history
There has been a long history of gold exploration and mining in tenements surrounding the WA Project Area, however comprehensive drilling and significant mining activities have not taken place within the WA Project Area itself. Existing soil sample data shows few occurrences of surface elevated gold values which is partly a result of the colluvium/alluvium cover across the area, in particular over the Juglah Dome. Existing historical drilling data indicates minor occurrences of gold values >0.1ppm in fresh rock.
There is recorded evidence of small historical workings on some of the tenements. Significant mining and gold production has occurred in adjacent tenements in the area, most notably from Mt Monger and the Majestic-Imperial Goldfields Mines.

5. Company and Projects Overview
continued
The geology at each of these mining areas is analogous to the two distinct lithological settings observed across the Project area, with distal orogenic mineralisation occurring within deformed mafic-ultramafic greenstones at the Mt Monger Goldfield; and proximal orogenic style mineralisation occurring as stockwork veining, fractures and hydrothermal alteration in felsic subvolcanic intrusions of the Majestic-Imperial Goldfield. Recent project development and exploration activities in the surrounding area further support the potential for both styles of orogenic gold mineralisation and include project development activities announced to the ASX by Black Cat Syndicate Pty Ltd (ASX release 25 March 2021) and gold-copper mineralisation associated with intrusive volcanic lithologies in RC drill intersections announced by Lefroy Exploration Pty Ltd (ASX release 29 April 2021) referred to as the ‘Burns discovery’.
Mining Investments Australia (MIA) recently commissioned several studies to compliment the regionally focused academic literature. A tenement focused field mapping campaign was commissioned which included outcrop mapping and rock chip sampling from 2019 to 2020. The detailed field study involved regolith and surface mapping for each tenement, review and update of interpreted geology, collection of rock chip samples and subsequent petrographic and litho-geochemical analysis. A total of 151 rock chip samples were collected across the project area to assist with rock identification in areas prone to weathering. Subsequent detailed litho-geochemical analysis assisted in identification of alteration and mineral assemblages, providing confidence in rock types and geological interpretation for each tenement.
A compilation and organisation of historical WAMEX data was also undertaken by data-management company GeoBase Australia Pty Ltd to produce a database of the available public geological mapping and geophysical and historical sample data. The complete dataset comprises the assay data and results from approximately 7,000 soil samples, 13,000 auger samples and 5,000 drill holes. Elevated gold values in both soil and drillhole data have been recorded.
Interpretation and processing of government and open source geophysical datasets was also conducted across the project area between August 2020 and April 2021 by Southern Geoscience Consultants. Magnetic and radiometric airborne survey datasets obtained from available government and open file sources were used to create georeferenced images and contours on architectural detail of the granite-greenstone terrane of the project area.

Exploration Potential
An established understanding of the regional geological framework, structural trends, lithological domains, and mineralisation styles prospectivity for gold mineralisation has been established across the Eastern Goldfields Project Region. This established understanding provides a reasonable regional and local scale model, within which historical occurrences of elevated Au mineralisation has been recorded.
The potential for economic gold mineralisation in six key areas across the Majestic and Kurnalpi Projects exists. Notably, located in E28/2294 which forms the Kurnalpi Project are intersecting interpreted north north-west and north-south faults which correlate with elevated gold in historical soil and drill hole data. The Company believes there exists a high potential for gold mineralisation within the Kurnalpi Project, which is supported by geochemical data suggesting elevated gold occurrences.
42 ORANGE MINERALS NL Prospectus
==> picture [596 x 131] intentionally omitted <==
The Company notes that while a detailed collation and geological interpretation has been undertaken to derive the multiple exploration targets, the targets are not sufficiently advanced in nature to report an Exploration Target under JORC Code 2012 guidelines. As such, much of the perceived exploration potential is conceptual in nature.
The Company initially plans to undertake geophysics and surface geochemistry campaigns on the Kurnalpi and Majestic tenements to confirm mineralised trends. The Company also plans to undertake negotiations with affected aboriginal heritage and native title parties for access arrangements required for follow up activities.
5.9 Proposed exploration and development programmes and expenditure
The Company’s main objectives on completion of the Offer are to:
-
undertake drilling activities on the various targets identified at certain Projects;
-
identify additional drill targets by undertaking surface exploration activities at the Projects, including geophysical, and soil sampling activities on the Projects;
-
undertake desktop reviews of certain Projects which are earlier stage exploration projects to establish targets for further exploration activities;
-
through exploration success, evaluate opportunities for near term gold production; and
-
seek further exploration, acquisition and joint venture opportunities in Western Australia, New South Wales and elsewhere.
The Company’s initial focus is to undertake two RC drilling campaigns at the Calarie Project (ML739) and the Wisemans Creek Prospect tenement (EL8554), planned to commence in Q2 of the 2021/2022 financial year. The drilling program at the Calarie Project is planned to comprise approximately 1,500m of RC drilling targeted at verifying the historical resource and testing for extensions. Following drilling at the Calarie Project, the Company plans to undertake a second RC drill program of approximately 750m at the Wisemans Creek Prospect, targeted at validating and texting for extensions of historical drilling results. These exploration activities will also help the Company to satisfy the interim minimum commitments under its existing joint venture agreements (refer to Section 9.1 for further details).
A summary of the Company’s proposed exploration expenditure on the Projects is set out in the table below.

ORANGE MINERALS NL Prospectus
7. Financial Information
7.1 General
The Independent Limited Assurance Report prepared by BDO Corporate Finance (WA) Pty Ltd set out in Section 13 sets out:
-
a. the consolidated historical financial information of the Company and its subsidiaries, which comprises the:
-
historical statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the Company for the period from incorporation of Orange Minerals (NSW) Pty Ltd on 20 October 2020 until 30 June 2021;
-
historical statement of cashflows for the period from incorporation of Orange Minerals (NSW) Pty Ltd on 30 October 2020 until 30 June 2021; and
-
historical statement of financial position as at 30 June 2021.
-
b. the pro forma consolidated historical financial information of the Company, which comprises the pro forma historical statement of financial position as at 30 June 2021.
Investors are urged to read the Independent Limited Assurance Report set out in Section 13 in full.
7.2 No Forecasts
Mineral exploration is inherently uncertain. Consequently, there are significant uncertainties associated with forecasting future revenues (if any) and expenses associated with the Company’s proposed activities. The Directors have considered the matters detailed in ASIC Regulatory Guide 170 and believe that they do not have a reasonable basis to forecast future earnings on the basis that the operations of the Company are inherently uncertain. Accordingly, any forecast or projection information would contain such a broad range of potential outcomes and possibilities that it is not possible prepare a reliable best estimate forecast or projection. The Directors consequently believe that, given these inherent uncertainties, it is not possible to include reliable forecasts in this Prospectus.

SECTION 08 Risk Factors
56
ORANGE MINERALS NL Prospectus
8. Risk Factors
An investment in the Shares offered under this Prospectus should be considered highly speculative because of the nature of the Company’s business. This Section identifies the major areas of risk associated with an investment in the Company but should not be taken as an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company and holders of its Securities are exposed.
Some of these risks can be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate systems and controls, but some are outside the control of the Company and cannot be mitigated. Accordingly, an investment in the Company carries no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, return of capital or price at which securities will trade. There can be no guarantee that the Company will achieve its stated objectives or that any forward-looking statement will eventuate.
The selection of risks contained in this Section has been based on an assessment of a combination of the probability of the risk occurring and the impact of the risk if it did occur. The assessment is based on the knowledge of the Directors as at the date of this Prospectus, but there is no guarantee or assurance that the importance of risks will not change or other risks will not emerge. Additional risks not presently known to the Company, or if known, not considered material, may also have an adverse impact.
Potential investors should read the entire Prospectus and consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares.
8.1 Risks specific to the Company
(a) Limited History
Having been incorporated on 24 May 2021, the Company has limited operating history and limited historical financial performance. The Company does not generate profits. Limited exploration has previously been conducted on the Projects and the Company’s exploration activities at the Projects to date are limited to those which are described in further detail in the Independent Geologist’s Report in Section 14. As such, no assurance can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the successful exploration or subsequent mining on its Projects. Until the Company is able to realise value from its Projects, it is likely to incur ongoing operating losses.
(b) Exploration and Development Risks
The Tenements comprising the Projects are at various stages of exploration and development, and potential investors should understand that mineral exploration and development are high-risk undertakings, only occasionally providing high rewards. In addition to the normal competition for prospective ground, and the high average costs of discovery of an economic deposit, factors such as demand for commodities, stock market fluctuations affecting access to new capital, sovereign risk, environmental issues, labour disruption, project financing difficulties, foreign currency fluctuations and technical problems all affect the ability of a company to profit from any discovery.
The quantities and grades included in any future mineral resource statements are estimates and may not prove to be an accurate indication of the quantity or grade of the metals that have been identified or that the Company will be able to extract. No assurance can be given that any particular level of recovery from mineral resources or reserves will in fact be realised or that an identified mineral resource will ever qualify as commercially viable which can be legally and economically exploited. In addition, there can be no assurance that exploration of the Company’s mineral interests, or any other projects that may be acquired by the Company in the future, will result in the discovery of an economically viable mineral deposit that can be profitably exploited.
The success of the Company will also depend upon the Company being able to maintain title to the mineral exploration licences comprising the Projects and obtaining all required approvals for its contemplated activities. In the event that exploration programmes prove to be unsuccessful this could lead to a diminution in the value of the Projects, a reduction in the cash reserves of the Company and possible relinquishment of mineral exploration licences comprising the Projects.
(c) Operational Risks
The operations of the Company may be affected by various factors including failure to locate or identify mineral deposits, failure to achieve predicted grades in exploration or 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, fire, explosions and other incidents beyond the control of the Company.
57
8. Risk Factors
continued
These risks and hazards could also result in damage to, or destruction of, production facilities, personal injury, environmental damage, business interruption, monetary losses and possible legal liability. While the Company currently intends to maintain insurance within ranges of coverage consistent with industry practice, no assurance can be given that the Company will be able to obtain such insurance coverage at reasonable rates (or at all), or that any coverage it obtains will be adequate and available to cover any such claims.
(d) No Defined Resources
The Company, at this time, does not have any JORC Code 2012 compliant mineral resources or reserves on its Projects, and previous exploration over the areas covered by the Projects is limited. There can be no assurance that future exploration and development activities on the Projects, or any other mineral permits that may be acquired in the future, will result in the identification of an economically viable mineral deposit.
(e) Resource Estimates
Whilst the Company intends to undertake exploration activities with the aim of defining a JORC Code 2012 compliant resource, no assurances can be given that exploration will result in the determination of a resource on any Tenement. Even if a resource is identified, no assurance can be provided that this can be economically extracted.
In the event that the Company successfully delineates a resource or reserve on any of its mineral permits, that resource or reserve estimate will be an expression of judgment based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates which were valid when originally calculated may alter significantly when new information or techniques become available. In addition, by their very nature, resource estimates are imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may prove to be inaccurate. As further information becomes available through additional fieldwork and analysis, estimates are likely to change. This may result in alterations to development and mining plans which may, in turn, adversely affect the Company’s operations.
(f) Results of Studies
Subject to the results of exploration and testing programs to be undertaken, the Company may progressively undertake a number of studies in relation to the Projects. These studies may include scoping, pre-feasibility, definitive feasibility and bankable feasibility studies. The Company intends to complete such studies within parameters designed to determine the economic feasibility of the subject Projects within certain limits. There can be no guarantee that any of these studies will confirm the economic viability of the subject Projects or that the results of other studies undertaken by the Company will be consistent with the results of previous studies undertaken.
Even if a study confirms the economic viability of a Project, there can be no guarantee that the Project will be successfully brought into production as assumed or within the estimated parameters in a feasibility study (e.g. operational costs and commodity prices) once production commences. Further, the ability of the Company to complete a study may be dependent on the Company’s ability to raise further funds to complete the study if required.
(g) Metallurgy
Metal and/or mineral recoveries are dependent upon the metallurgical process that is required to liberate economic minerals and produce a saleable product and by nature contain elements of significant risk, such as:
-
identifying a metallurgical process through test work to produce a saleable metal and/or concentrate;
-
developing an economic process route to produce a metal and/or concentrate; and
-
changes in mineralogy in the ore deposit that can result in inconsistent metal recovery, affecting the economic viability of the project.
(h) Commodity Prices and Demand
As an explorer for gold and base metals including copper, and potentially other minerals, any future earnings of the Company are expected to be closely related to the price of those commodities. Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company. These factors include worldwide and regional supply and demand for commodities, general world economic conditions and the outlook for interest rates, inflation and other economic factors on both a regional and global basis. These factors may have a positive or negative effect on the Company’s exploration and project development plans, together with the ability to fund those plans and activities.
58 ORANGE MINERALS NL Prospectus
==> picture [596 x 131] intentionally omitted <==
(i) Environmental Risks
The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to State and Federal laws and regulations concerning the environment. As with most exploration projects and mining operations, the Company’s activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if advanced exploration or mine development proceeds. It is the Company’s intention to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws.
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 the Company’s ongoing compliance with environmental legislation, regulations and licences. Significant liabilities could be imposed on the Company 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.
The disposal of mining and process waste and mine water discharge are under constant legislative scrutiny and regulation. Approvals are required for various mining and exploration activities including, 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.
There is also a risk that environmental laws and regulations become more onerous making the Company’s operations more expensive. Amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing operations and activities of mining companies, or a more stringent implementation thereof, could have a material impact on the Company and cause increases in exploration expenses, capital expenditures or production costs or require abandonment or delays in the exploration or development of the Company’s Tenements.
(j) Tenement Title
Interests in tenements in Western Australia and New South Wales are governed by legislation and are evidenced by the granting of licences. Each licence is granted for a specific term and carries with it expenditure and reporting commitments, as well as other conditions requiring compliance. Consequently, the Company could lose title to, or its interest in, a Tenement if licence conditions are not met or if insufficient funds are available to meet expenditure commitments as and when they arise.
The Tenements (or tenements in which the Company may acquire an interest in the future), will be subject to applications for renewal or exemption from expenditure (as the case may be). The renewal or exemption from expenditure for a tenement is usually determined at the discretion of the relevant government authority. If a tenement is not renewed or granted an exemption from expenditure, the Company may suffer damage through loss of opportunity to develop and discover minerals on that tenement.
Although the Company has taken steps to verify the title to the Projects, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee title. Title to the Projects, and resource properties which the Company may acquire in the future, may be subject to unregistered prior agreements or transfers, and may also be affected by undetected defects or other stakeholder rights.
Further, a number of the Tenements are pending applications. There is a risk that the applications for Tenements may not be granted in their entirety or only granted on conditions unacceptable to the Company.
The Company is aware of a number of concurrent interests which encroach on the Tenements comprising the Projects, including miscellaneous licenses, prospecting licenses and special prospecting licenses or licence applications affecting Tenements in Western Australia. These may affect the Company’s access to, or rights to conduct exploration and/ or mining activities on, the encroaching areas. Refer to the Independent Solicitor’s Reports for further details. Any encroaching interests which affect the Projects, or any resource properties which the Company acquires in the future, have the potential to materially adversely affect the Company’s operations, outlook and financial condition.
59
8. Risk Factors
continued
(k) Native Title
The Native Title Act recognises and protects the rights and interests in Australia of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in land and waters, according to their traditional laws and customs. There is significant uncertainty associated with Native Title in Australia and this may impact on the Company’s operations and future plans.
Native Title can be extinguished by valid grants of land (such as freehold title) or waters to people other than the Native Title holders or by valid use of land or waters. Native Title is not necessarily extinguished by the grant of mining leases, although a valid mining lease prevails over Native Title to the extent of any inconsistency for the duration of the title.
The existence of a Native Title claim is not an indication that Native Title in fact exists on the land covered by the claim, as this matter is ultimately determined by the Federal Court.
A number of the Tenements in both Western Australia and New South Wales which comprise the Projects are affected by known Native Title claims and/or rights and interests. Accordingly, the ability of the Company to gain access to these Tenements or to progress from the exploration phase to the development and mining phases of operation may be adversely affected.
If Native Title is found to exist in respect of the area of any of the Tenements in Western Australia, then any compensation liability payable to the holders of the Native Title rights in relation to the grant and activities conducted on the relevant tenements will lie with the Company. Compensation liability may be determined by the Federal Court or settled by agreement with native title holders, including through ILUAs (which have statutory force) and common law agreements (which do not have statutory force). At this stage, the Company is not able to quantify any potential compensation payments, if any.
Refer to the Independent Solicitor’s Reports for further details on the applicable Native Title claims.
(l) Aboriginal Heritage
The Company must comply with Aboriginal heritage legislation requirements which include the requirement to conduct heritage survey work prior to the commencement of operations.
The Company is aware of various areas of indigenous significance and Aboriginal heritage sites of considerable cultural value both to the local indigenous communities and the broader community generally which affect a number of Tenements in both New South Wales and Western Australia. Refer to the Independent Solicitor’s Reports for further details on the registered Aboriginal heritage sites which are relevant to the Projects. It is also likely that additional Aboriginal sites may be identified on the land the subject of the Tenements.
The Company will comply with all relevant Aboriginal Heritage Acts and any applicable agreements that may be in place with the relevant Traditional Owners. Prior to commencing ground disturbing activities, including mining, the Company will need to consult with relevant Traditional Owners regarding the likely impact that the proposed activities may have on such areas. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to deal with Aboriginal heritage issues in a satisfactory or timely manner and accordingly such issues may increase the proposed time periods for the conduct of the Company’s proposed activities, lead to increased costs for such activities (in obtaining the required consents and/or approvals) and also limit the Company’s ability to conduct its proposed activities on the relevant Tenement.
(m) Land Access and Compensation
There is a substantial level of regulation and restriction on the ability of exploration and mining companies to gain access to land in Australia. Negotiations with both Traditional Owners and landowners/occupiers are generally required before the Company can access land for exploration or mining activities.
In particular in respect of the Tenements in Western Australia:
-
i. two of the Tenements encroach upon private land, as such consent of the landholder is required to conduct mining activities (including exploration) on the surface of private land (ie, above a depth of 30 metres below the surface of the land);
-
ii. a significant number of the Tenements overlap certain pastoral or historical leases; and
-
iii. a number of the Tenements overlap areas of Crown reserves and proposed reserve lands.
Investors should be aware that the Company cannot be assured of obtaining the necessary consents and approvals to access such lands. In addition, any delay in obtaining any necessary agreement to obtain access may adversely impact or delay the Company’s ability to carry out exploration or mining activities on its Tenements.

(n) Future Capital Needs
The future capital requirements of the Company will depend on many factors. The Company believes that the proceeds of the Offer should be adequate to fund its business activities in the short term as stated in this Prospectus. Changes to operational requirements, market conditions and the identification of other opportunities may mean further funding is required by the Company at an earlier stage than is currently anticipated.
Should the Company require additional funding, there can be no assurance that additional funding (whether debt or equity) will be available, either on acceptable terms or at all. Any inability to obtain additional funding, if required, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and its financial condition and performance and the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Any additional equity financing may also be dilutive to Shareholders, may be undertaken at lower prices than the Offer and may involve restrictive covenants which limit the Company’s operations and business strategy. Debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities.
The Company may undertake offerings of securities convertible into Shares in the future. The increase in the number of Shares issued and outstanding and the possibility of sales of such Shares may have a depressive effect on the price of Shares. In addition, as a result of such additional Shares, voting power of the Company’s existing shareholders will be diluted.
(o) Loss of key personnel
The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and the strategic management of the Company depends substantially on its Board and senior management. The Company has a relatively small key management team. There can be no assurance given that there will be no detrimental impact on the Company if one or more of these officers or employees cease their employment. The Company may not be able to replace such personnel with persons of equivalent expertise and experience within a reasonable period of time or at all and the Company may incur additional expenses to recruit, train and retain personnel. Loss of such personnel may also have an adverse effect on the performance of the Company.
(p) Agents and contractors
The Company intends to outsource substantial parts of its exploration activities pursuant to services contracts with third party contractors. In most cases, the Company has yet to enter into these arrangements. The Directors are unable to predict the risk of financial failure, default or insolvency of any of the contractors. If these events occur in relation to a contractor, recovery by the Company of resulting financial losses may be limited. Contractors may also underperform their obligations of their contracts. If such contracts are terminated, the Company may not be able to find a suitable replacement on satisfactory terms.
(q) New projects and acquisitions
The Company intends to actively pursue and assess new business opportunities in the resources sector. These new business opportunities may take the form of direct project acquisitions, joint ventures, farm-ins, acquisition of tenements/ permits, and/or direct equity participation.
The acquisition of projects (whether completed or not) may require the payment of monies (as a deposit and/or exclusivity fee) after only limited due diligence or prior to the completion of comprehensive due diligence.
There can be no guarantee that any proposed acquisition will be completed or be successful. If the proposed acquisition is not completed, monies advanced may not be recoverable, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company. If an acquisition is completed, the Directors will need to reassess at that time, the funding allocated to current projects and new projects, which may result in the Company reallocating funds from the Projects and/or raising additional capital (if available). Furthermore, notwithstanding that an acquisition may proceed upon the completion of due diligence, the usual risks associated with the new project/business activities will remain.
61
8. Risk Factors
continued
(r) Royalties
The Company’s mining projects may be subject to State or Federal royalties, in addition to royalties payable to third parties (refer to Section 9.5 for further details). One of the royalty holders has an express right to lodge caveats against the relevant Tenements to protect its interest in the relevant Tenements.
In the event that additional royalties are imposed or increased in the future, the profitability and commercial viability of the Projects may be negatively impacted.
(s) Climate risk
There are a number of climate-related factors that may affect the operations and proposed activities of the Company. The climate change risks particularly attributed to the Company include:
-
the emergence of new or expanded regulations associated with the transitioning to a lower-carbon economy and market changes related to climate change mitigation. The Company may be impacted by changes to local or international compliance regulations related to climate change mitigation efforts, or by specific taxation or penalties for carbon emissions or environmental damage. These examples sit amongst an array of possible restraints on industry that may further impact the Company and its profitability. Whilst the Company will endeavour to manage these risks and limit any consequential impacts there can be no guarantee that the Company will not be impacted by these occurrences; and
-
climate change may cause certain physical and environmental risks that cannot be predicted by the Company, including events such as increased severity of weather patterns and longer-term physical risks such as shifting climate patterns. All these risks associated with climate change may significantly change the industry in which the Company operates.
(t) Regulatory Compliance
The Company’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 work safety, waste disposal, protection of the environment, native title and heritage matters, protection of endangered and protected species and other matters. The Company requires permits from regulatory authorities to authorise its operations. These permits relate to exploration, development, production and rehabilitation activities.
While the Company 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 the Company or its properties, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’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 the Company 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 in inadvertent, could result in material fines, penalties or other liabilities. In extreme cases, failure could result in suspension of the Company’s activities or forfeiture of one or more of the Tenements.
(u) Downturn in the resources industry
The Company’s revenue and growth are susceptible to a downturn in the resources industry. The resources industry is influenced by many economic and political factors which are outside the control of the Company, including but not limited to confidence in the global economy and global economic growth, continued international demand and commodities prices. Any prolonged decline in commodity prices, particularly gold or copper, or the demand for resources may have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s financial performance and financial position.

8.2 General risks
The future prospects of the Company's business may be affected by circumstances and external factors beyond the Company's control. The Company's financial performance may be affected by a number of business risks that apply to companies generally and may include economic, financial, market or regulatory conditions.
(a) COVID-19 risk
The outbreak of the coronavirus disease ( 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. Further, any governmental or industry measures taken in response to COVID-19 may adversely impact the Company’s operations, including access to its Projects to conduct exploration activities, and are likely to be beyond the control of the Company.
The Directors are monitoring the situation closely and have considered the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business and financial performance. However, the situation is continually evolving, and the consequences are therefore inevitably uncertain. If any of these impacts appear material prior to close of the Offer, the Company will notify investors under a supplementary prospectus.
(b) Government Legislation and 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 New South Wales and Western Australia may change, resulting in impairment of rights and possibly expropriation of the Company’s properties without adequate compensation. Any material adverse changes in government policies in legislation in Australia or in any other country that the Company may acquire economic interests in may affect the viability, financial performance and profitability of the Company.
(c) Foreign Exchange Risks
International prices of various commodities are denominated in United States dollars, whereas the income and expenditure of the Company will be taken into account in Australian currency, exposing the Company to the fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and the Australian dollar as determined on international markets. If the Company achieves success leading to mineral production, the revenue it will derive through the sale of product may also expose the potential income of the Company to further exchange rate risks.
(d) Economic Risk
Changes in the general economic climate in which the Company operates may adversely affect the financial performance of the Company. Factors that may contribute to that general economic climate include the level of direct and indirect competition against the Company, industrial disruption and the rate of growth of gross domestic product in Australia and other jurisdictions in which the Company may acquire mineral assets.
(e) Securities investments
There are risks associated with any securities investments. The prices at which the Shares trade on ASX may fluctuate in response to a number of factors including:
-
the recruitment or departure of key personnel;
-
actual or anticipated changes in estimates as to financial results, development timelines or recommendations by securities analysts;
-
variations in the Company’s financial results or those of companies that are perceived to be similar to the Company including changes caused by changes in financial accounting standards or practices or taxation rules or practices;
-
announcements regarding litigation or other proceedings that involve the Company;
-
war or acts of terrorism or catastrophic disasters that disrupt world trade or adversely affect confidence in financial markets;
-
other general economic, industry and market conditions; and
-
other factors described in this Section.
63
8. Risk Factors
continued
(f) Share market risk
Global credit, commodity and investment markets can experience a high degree of uncertainty and volatility. The factors which lead to this situation are outside the control of the Company and may continue for some time resulting in continued volatility and uncertainty in world stock markets (including the ASX). This may impact the price at which the Company's Shares trade regardless of operating performance and affect the Company's ability to raise additional equity and/or debt to achieve its objectives, if required.
(g) Liquidity risk
There is no guarantee that there will be an ongoing liquid market for the Shares. Accordingly, there is a risk that, should the market for the Shares become illiquid, Shareholders will be unable to realise their investment in the Company.
(h) Currently no market
There is currently no public market for the Company’s Shares, the price of its Shares is subject to uncertainty and there can be no assurance that an active market for the Company’s Shares will develop or continue after the Offer.
The price at which the Company’s Shares trade on ASX after listing may be higher or lower than the issue price of Shares offered under this 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 the Company 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 the Company’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.
(i) Force majeure events
Events may occur within or outside Australia that could impact upon global, Australian or other local economies relevant to the Company’s financial performance, the operations of the Company and the price of the Company’s Shares. These events include but are not limited to terrorism, international hostilities, floods, earthquakes, labour strikes, civil wars, natural disasters or other man-made or nature events or occurrences that can have an adverse effect on the Company and its ability to conduct business. The Company has limited ability to insure against some of these risks.
(j) Litigation
The Company is exposed to the risk of actual or threatened litigation or legal disputes in the form of contractual claims, intellectual property claims, personal injury claims, mining title related disputes, employee claims and other litigation and disputes. If any claim was successfully pursued it may adversely impact the financial performance, financial position and share price of the Company.
(k) Taxation risk
The acquisition and disposal of Shares will have tax consequences for investors, which will vary depending on the individual financial affairs of each investor. All potential investors in the Company are urged to obtain independent professional taxation and financial advice about the consequences of acquiring and disposing of Securities from a taxation viewpoint and generally.

10.5 Employee Securities Incentives Plan
The Company considers that it is desirable to establish a securities incentive plan pursuant to which the Company can issue security in the capital of the Company granted under the Employee Securities Incentives Plan ( Securities ) to Directors, employees and consultants in order to attract, motivate and retain such persons and to provide them with an inventive to deliver growth and value to all Shareholders ( Plan ).
Under the Plan, the Board may offer to eligible persons the opportunity to subscribe for such number of Securities in the Company as the Board may decide and on the terms set out in the rules of the Plan, a summary of which is set out in this Section.
A copy of the Plan is available for review by Shareholders at the registered office of the Company. A copy of the Plan can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary. Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.
The maximum number of Securities that the Company may issue under the Plan over the three years from the date of this Prospectus (19 October 2024) is 7,048,500 Shares, being fifteen (15) percent of the total number of issued Shares at the date of this Prospectus.
Following the Company’s admission to the Official List:
-
a. prior Shareholder approval will be required under Listing Rule 10.14 before any Director or associate of a Director can participate in the Plan; and
-
b. Shareholders must re-approve the Securities Plan and the maximum number of Securities the Company may issue under the Plan every three years.
The following is a summary of the Employees Securities Incentive Plan and the terms on which an offer Shares ( Plan Shares ) or other Securities exercisable for Plan Shares in accordance with the Plan, including an option or a performance right ( Convertible Securities ) may be made under the Employees Securities Incentive Plan.
(a)
Eligible Participant
“Eligible Participant” means a person who is a full-time or part-time employee, officer, or contractor of the Company, or an Associated Body Corporate (as defined in ASIC Class Order 14/1000), or such other person who has been determined by the Board to be eligible to participate in the Plan from time to time.
The Company will seek Shareholder approval for Director and related party participation in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.14.
(b) Purpose
The purpose of the Plan is to:
-
assist in the reward, retention and motivation of Eligible Participants;
-
link the reward of Eligible Participants to Shareholder value creation; and
-
align the interests of Eligible Participants with Shareholders of the Group (being the Company and each of its Associated Bodies Corporate) by providing an opportunity to Eligible Participants to receive an equity interest in the Company in the form of Securities.
(c) Plan administration
The Plan will be administered by the Board. Any power or discretion which is conferred on the Board by the Plan may be exercised in its sole and absolute discretion. The Board may delegate its powers and discretion.
(d) Eligibility, invitation and application
The Board may from time to time determine that an Eligible Participant may participate in the Plan and make an invitation to that Eligible Participant to apply for Securities on such terms and conditions as the Board decides ( Invitation ).
On receipt of an Invitation, an Eligible Participant may apply for the Securities the subject of the Invitation by sending a completed application form to the Company. The Board may accept an application from an Eligible Participant in whole or in part.
If an Eligible Participant is permitted in the Invitation, the Eligible Participant may, by notice in writing to the Board, nominate a party in whose favour the Eligible Participant wishes to renounce the Invitation.
82 ORANGE MINERALS NL Prospectus
==> picture [596 x 131] intentionally omitted <==
(e) Grant of Securities
The Company will, to the extent that it has accepted a duly completed application, grant the Eligible Participant or its nominated party ( Participant ) the relevant number of Securities, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Invitation, the Plan rules and any ancillary documentation required.
(f) Terms of Convertible Securities
Each Convertible Security represents a right to acquire one or more Shares (for example, under an option or performance right), subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.
Prior to a Convertible Security being exercised a Participant does not have any interest (legal, equitable or otherwise) in any Share the subject of the Convertible Security by virtue of holding the Convertible Security. A Participant may not sell, assign, transfer, grant a security interest over or otherwise deal with a Convertible Security that has been granted to them unless otherwise determined by the Board. A Participant must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of hedging their economic exposure to a Convertible Security that has been granted to them.
(g) Vesting of Convertible Securities
Any vesting conditions applicable to the grant of Convertible Securities will be described in the invitation. If all the vesting conditions are satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, a vesting notice will be sent to the Participant by the Company informing them that the relevant Convertible Securities have vested. Unless and until the vesting notice is issued by the Company, the Convertible Securities will not be considered to have vested. For the avoidance of doubt, if the vesting conditions relevant to a Convertible Security are not satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, that Convertible Security will lapse.
(h) Exercise of Convertible Securities and cashless exercise
To exercise a Convertible Security, the Participant must deliver a signed notice of exercise and, subject to a cashless exercise of Convertible Securities (see below), pay the exercise price (if any) to or as directed by the Company, at any time following vesting of the Convertible Security (if subject to vesting conditions) and prior to the expiry date as set out in the invitation or vesting notice.
An invitation may specify that at the time of exercise of the Convertible Securities, the Participant may elect not to be required to provide payment of the exercise price for the number of Convertible Securities specified in a notice of exercise, but that on exercise of those Convertible Securities the Company will issue to the Participant that number of Shares equal in value to the positive difference between the Market Value of the Shares at the time of exercise and the exercise price that would otherwise be payable to exercise those Convertible Securities.
Market Value means, at any given date, the volume weighted average price per Share traded on the ASX over the 5 trading days immediately preceding that given date, unless otherwise specified in an invitation.
A Convertible Security may not be exercised unless and until that Convertible Security has vested in accordance with the Plan rules, or such earlier date as set out in the Plan rules.
(i) Delivery of Shares on exercise of Convertible Securities
As soon as practicable after the valid exercise of a Convertible Security by a Participant, the Company will issue or cause to be transferred to that Participant the number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled under the Plan rules and issue a substitute certificate for any remaining unexercised Convertible Securities held by that Participant.
(j) Forfeiture of Convertible Securities
Where a Participant who holds Convertible Securities ceases to be an Eligible Participant or becomes insolvent, all unvested Convertible Securities will automatically be forfeited by the Participant, unless the Board otherwise determines in its discretion to permit some or all of the Convertible Securities to vest.
Where the Board determines that a Participant has acted fraudulently or dishonestly; committed an act which has brought the Company, the Group or any entity within the Group into disrepute, or wilfully breached his or her duties to the Group or where a Participant is convicted of an offence in connection with the affairs of the Group; or has a judgment entered against him or her in any civil proceedings in respect of the contravention by the Participant of his or her duties at law, in equity or under statute, in his or her capacity as an employee, consultant or officer of the Group, the Board may in its discretion deem all unvested Convertible Securities held by that Participant to have been forfeited.
83
10. Additional Information
continued
Unless the Board otherwise determines, or as otherwise set out in the Plan rules:
-
any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be forfeited immediately on the date that the Board determines (acting reasonably and in good faith) that any applicable vesting conditions have not been met or cannot be met by the relevant date;
-
any Convertible Securities held by a Participant in accordance with the Plan will be forfeited immediately on the date that the Participant becomes insolvent; and
-
any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be automatically forfeited on the expiry date specified in the invitation or vesting notice.
(k) Change of Control
If a change of control event occurs in relation to the Company, or the Board determines that such an event is likely to occur, the Board may in its discretion determine the manner in which any or all of the Participant’s Convertible Securities will be dealt with, including, without limitation, in a manner that allows the Participant to participate in and/or benefit from any transaction arising from or in connection with the change of control event.
(l) Rights attaching to Plan Shares
All Shares issued or transferred under the Plan, or issued or transferred to a Participant upon the valid exercise of a Convertible Security, (“Plan Shares”) will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares of the same class. A Participant will be entitled to any dividends declared and distributed by the Company on the Plan Shares and may participate in any dividend reinvestment plan operated by the Company in respect of Plan Shares. A Participant may exercise any voting rights attaching to Plan Shares.
(m) Disposal restrictions on Plan Shares
If the invitation provides that any Plan Shares are subject to any restrictions as to the disposal or other dealing by a Participant for a period, the Board may implement any procedure it deems appropriate to ensure the compliance by the Participant with this restriction.
For so long as a Plan Share is subject to any disposal restrictions under the Plan, the Participant will not:
-
transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of, or have a security interest granted over that Plan Share; or
-
take any action or permit another person to take any action to remove or circumvent the disposal restrictions without the express written consent of the Company.
(n) Adjustment of Convertible Securities
If there is a reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company (including any subdivision, consolidation, reduction, return or cancellation of such issued capital of the Company), the rights of each Participant holding Convertible Securities will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules applicable to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.
If Shares are issued by the Company by way of bonus issue (other than an issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment), the holder of Convertible Securities is entitled, upon exercise of the Convertible Securities, to receive an issue of as many additional Shares as would have been issued to the holder if the holder held Shares equal in number to the Shares in respect of which the Convertible Securities are exercised.
Unless otherwise determined by the Board, a holder of Convertible Securities does not have the right to participate in a pro rata issue of Shares made by the Company or sell renounceable rights.
(o) Participation in new issues
There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Convertible Securities and holders are not entitled to participate in any new issue of Shares of the Company during the currency of the Convertible Securities without exercising the Convertible Securities.
84 ORANGE MINERALS NL Prospectus
==> picture [596 x 131] intentionally omitted <==
(p) Compliance with applicable law
No Security may be offered, grated, vested or exercised if to do so would contravene any applicable law. In particular, the Company must have reasonable grounds to believe, when making an invitation, that the total number of Plan Shares that may be issued upon exercise of Convertible Securities offer when aggregated with the number of Shares issued or that may be issued as a result of Offer made at any time during the previous three year period under:
- i. an employee incentive scheme of the Company covered by ASIC Class Order 14/1000; or
ii. an ASIC exempt arrangement of a similar kind to an employee incentive scheme,
but disregarding any offer made or securities issued in the capital of the Company by way of or as a result of:
-
iii. offer to a person situated at the time of receipt of the offer outside Australia;
-
iv. an offer that did not need disclosure to investors because of section 708 of the Corporations Act (exempts the requirement for a disclosure document for the issue of securities in certain circumstances to investors who are deemed to have sufficient investment knowledge to make informed decisions, including professional investors, sophisticated investors and senior managers of the Company); or
-
v. an offer made under a disclosure document,
would not exceed 5% (or such other maximum permitted under any applicable law) of the total number of Shares on issue at the date of the Invitation.
(q) Amendment of Plan
Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time amend any provisions of the Plan rules, including (without limitation) the terms and conditions upon which any Securities have been granted under the Plan and determine that any amendments to the Plan rules be given retrospective effect, immediate effect or future effect.
No amendment to any provision of the Plan rules may be made if the amendment materially reduces the rights of any Participant as they existed before the date of the amendment, other than an amendment introduced primarily for the purpose of complying with legislation or to correct manifest error or mistake, amongst other things, or is agreed to in writing by all Participants.
(r) Plan duration
The Plan continues in operation until the Board decides to end it. The Board may from time to time suspend the operation of the Plan for a fixed period or indefinitely, and may end any suspension. If the Plan is terminated or suspended for any reason, that termination or suspension must not prejudice the accrued rights of the Participants.
If a Participant and the Company (acting by the Board) agree in writing that some or all of the Securities granted to that Participant are to be cancelled on a specified date or on the occurrence of a particular event, then those Securities may be cancelled in the manner agreed between the Company and the Participant.
(s) Income Tax Assessment Act
The Plan is a plan to which Subdivision 83A-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) applies (subject to the conditions in that Act) unless the Board determines otherwise at the time of an offer of securities.

2. Scope
You have requested BDO to perform a limited assurance engagement in relation to the historical and pro forma historical financial information described below.
The historical and pro forma historical financial information is presented in the Prospectus in an abbreviated form, insofar as it does not include all of the presentation and disclosures required by Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements applicable to general purpose financial reports prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001.
On 31 May 2021 Orange Minerals NL completed the acquisition of Orange Minerals (NSW) Pty Ltd. Under the Australian Accounting Standards Orange Minerals (NSW) Pty Ltd was deemed to be the accounting acquirer in this transaction. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements of Orange Minerals NL have been prepared as a continuation of the business and operations of Orange Minerals (NSW) Pty Ltd.
You have requested BDO to review the following historical financial information (together the ‘Historical Financial Information’ ) of Orange Minerals included in the Prospectus:
-
the audited Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income for the period from the incorporation of Orange Minerals (NSW) Pty Ltd on 30 October 2020 to 30 June 2021; and
-
the audited Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2021.
The Historical Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the stated basis of preparation, being the recognition and measurement principles contained in Australian Accounting Standards and the company’s adopted accounting policies. The Historical Financial Information has been extracted from the financial report of Orange Minerals for the period ended 30 June 2021, which was audited by BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd (“ BDO Audit ”) in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards. BDO Audit issued an unmodified audit opinion on the financial report.
Pro Forma Historical Financial Information
You have requested BDO to review the following pro forma historical financial information (the ‘Pro Forma Historical Financial Information’ ) of Orange Minerals included in the Prospectus:
- the pro forma historical Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2021.
The Pro Forma Historical Financial Information has been derived from the historical financial information of Orange Minerals, after adjusting for the effects of the subsequent events described in Section 6 of this Report and the pro forma adjustments described in Section 7 of this Report. The stated basis of preparation is the recognition and measurement principles contained in Australian Accounting Standards applied to the historical financial information and the events or transactions to which the pro forma adjustments relate, as described in Section 7 of this Report, as if those events or transactions had occurred as at the date of the historical financial information. Due to its nature, the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information does not represent the company’s actual or prospective financial position or financial performance.
The Pro Forma Historical Financial Information has been compiled by Orange to illustrate the impact of the events or transactions described in Section 6 and Section 7 of the Report on Orange Minerals’ financial position as at 30 June 2021. As part of this process, information about Orange Minerals’ financial position has been extracted by Orange Minerals from the Company’s
3
97
13. Independent Limited Assurance Report continued
financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2021. The acquisition of Majestic Gold Mines Pty Ltd has been treated as an asset acquisition in the pro-forma balance sheet.
3. Directors’ responsibility
The directors of Orange Minerals are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Historical Financial Information and Pro Forma Historical Financial Information, including the selection and determination of pro forma adjustments made to the Historical Financial Information and included in the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information. This includes responsibility for such internal controls as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of Historical Financial Information and Pro Forma Historical Financial Information are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
4. Our responsibility
Our responsibility is to express limited assurance conclusions on the Historical Financial Information and the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information. We have conducted our engagement in accordance with the Standard on Assurance Engagement ASAE 3450 Assurance Engagements involving Corporate Fundraisings and/or Prospective Financial Information .
Our limited assurance procedures consisted of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A limited assurance engagement is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain reasonable assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in a reasonable assurance engagement. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Our engagement did not involve updating or re-issuing any previously issued audit or limited assurance reports on any financial information used as a source of the financial information.
5. Conclusion
Historical Financial Information
Based on our limited assurance engagement, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Historical Financial Information, as described in the Appendices to this Report, and comprising:
-
the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income and Statement of Cash Flows of Orange Minerals for the period from the incorporation of Orange Minerals (NSW) Pty Ltd on 30 October 2020 to 30 June 2021; and
-
the Statement of Financial Position of Orange Minerals as at 30 June 2021,
is not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with the stated basis of preparation, as described in Section 2 of this Report.
Pro Forma Historical Financial information
Based on our limited assurance engagement, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information as described in the Appendices to this Report, and comprising:
- the pro forma historical Statement of Financial Position of Orange Minerals as at 30 June 2021,
4
98 ORANGE MINERALS NL Prospectus
==> picture [596 x 131] intentionally omitted <==
is not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with the stated basis of preparation, as described in Section 2 of this Report.
6. Subsequent Events
The pro-forma statement of financial position reflects the following events that have occurred subsequent to 30 June 2021:
-
On 2 July 2021 the Company completed a ‘Promoter’ round of capital raising by issuing 13 million shares at a price of $0.01 per share raising $130,000;
-
On 22 September 2021 the Company entered into an agreement to acquire Majestic Gold Mines Pty Ltd which completed on 28 September 2021. The consideration for this acquisition was the issue of five million ordinary shares at a deemed value of $0.20 each for a total of $1 million plus the reimbursement of exploration costs amounting to $105,602;
-
The Company acquired tenements for $400,000 which will be payable by way of $230,000 in cash and $170,000 in equity by way of the issue of 850,000 shares at an issue price of $0.20 each;
-
The receipt of an advance of $75,311 as a loan from a shareholder to add to the loan balance of $94,689 which was outstanding as at 30 June 2021 and the subsequent forgiveness of the total loan amount of $170,000 on 24 September 2021;
-
the Company issued 11,140,000 in ‘Seed’ shares following 30 June 2021 at a price of $0.10 each to raise $1,114,000;
-
The issue of 9,050,000 options to directors, management and consultants with a three year life and exercisable at $0.30. The Director, Management and Consultant Options have been valued at $968,350 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The value of the Director, Management and Consultant Options has been expensed through accumulated losses; and
-
2,904,944 performance rights were issued to directors in six different classes each with its own specific vesting milestone. Those with market based milestones have been valued at $107,996 and have recognized in the pro-forma balance sheet.
Apart from the matters dealt with in this Report, and having regard to the scope of this Report and the information provided by the Directors, to the best of our knowledge and belief no other material transaction or event outside of the ordinary business of Orange Minerals not described above, has come to our attention that would require comment on, or adjustment to, the information referred to in our Report or that would cause such information to be misleading or deceptive.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the historical financial information included in this Report have been set out below.
- a) Basis of preparation of historical financial information
The historical financial information has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement, but not all the disclosure requirements of the Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (‘ AIFRS ’), other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Australian Accounting Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001.
On 31 May 2021 Orange Minerals NL completed the acquisition of Orange Minerals (NSW) Pty Ltd. Under the Australian Accounting Standards Orange Minerals (NSW) Pty Ltd was deemed to be the accounting acquirer in this transaction. The acquisition was based on the terms and conditions of the Share Sale Agreement.
Accordingly, the consolidated historical financial information of Orange Minerals NL has been prepared as a continuation of the business and operations of Orange Minerals (NSW) Pty Ltd.
The implication of the acquisition by Orange Minerals NL on the historical financial information are as follows:
Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income The statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income comprises the total comprehensive income for the 9 months ended 30 June 2021 for Orange Minerals (NSW) Pty Ltd and the period from 31 May 2021 to 30 June 2021 for Orange Minerals NL.
Statement of Financial Position The statement of financial position as at 30 June 2021 represents the combination of Orange Minerals NL and its wholly owned subsidiary Orange Minerals (NSW) Pty Ltd.
- Statement of Cash Flows
The statement of Cash Flows comprises:
-
The cash balance of Orange Minerals (NSW) Pty Ltd at registration date (30 October 2020).
-
The transactions for the financial period, being 9 months for Orange Minerals (NSW) Pty Ltd and the period from 31 May 2021 to 30 June 2021 for Orange Minerals NL.
-
The cash balance of the combined Orange Minerals NL and its wholly owned subsidiary Orange Minerals (NSW) Pty Ltd for the period ended 30 June 2021.
-
Equity Structure
The equity structure (the number and type of equity instruments issued) in the historical financial information reflects the consolidated equity structure of Orange Minerals NL and its wholly owned subsidiary Orange Minerals (NSW) Pty Ltd.
The financial information has also been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for derivatives and available-for-sale financial assets that have been measured at fair value. The carrying values of recognised assets and liabilities that are hedged are adjusted to record changes in the fair
10
104 ORANGE MINERALS NL Prospectus
==> picture [596 x 131] intentionally omitted <==
value attributable to the risks that are being hedged. Non-current assets and disposal group’s held-for-sale are measured at the lower of carrying amounts and fair value less costs to sell.
b) Going Concern
The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
The Company incurred a loss for the period of $78,213 and $68,189 net operating cash out-flow. As at 30 June 2021, the Company's cash and cash equivalents is $1 and working capital deficiency of $94,712.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is principally dependent upon the ability of the Company to secure funds by raising capital and managing cash flow in line with available funds. These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
Should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern it may be required to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the normal course of business and at amounts different to those stated in the financial statements.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or to the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and meet its debts as and when they fall due.
c) Income tax
The income tax expense/(revenue) for the period comprises current income tax expense/(income) and deferred tax expense/(income). Current and deferred income tax expense/(income) is charged or credited directly to other comprehensive income instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to other comprehensive income.
Current tax
Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date. Current tax liabilities/(assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to/(recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur.
Deferred tax
Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the period as well unused tax losses.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.
11
105
13. Independent Limited Assurance Report continued
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.
d) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.
The net amount of GST recoverable form, or payable to, the Australian Taxation Office is included as a current asset or liability in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
e) Financial Instruments
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instruments. For Financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the Company commits itself to either purchase or sell the asset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted).
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except where the instruments is classified ‘at fair value through profit or loss’ in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately. Financial instruments are classified and measured as set out below.
Classification and Subsequent Measurement
Financial instruments are subsequently measured at either fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest rate method or cost. Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value. In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted.
Amortised cost is calculated as (i) the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measure at initial recognition; (ii) less principal repayments; (iii) plus or minus the cumulative amortization of the difference, if any, between the amount initially recognised and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method; and (iv) less any reduction for impairment.
The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life (or when this cannot be reliability predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carry amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying value with a consequential recognition of an income or expense in profit or loss. The Company does not designate any interest in subsidiary, associates or joint venture entities as being subject to the requirements of accounting standards specifically applicable to financial statements.
12
106 ORANGE MINERALS NL Prospectus
==> picture [596 x 131] intentionally omitted <==
i. Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss or through other comprehensive Income
Financial assets are classified at ‘fair value through profit or loss’ or Fair value through Other comprehensive Income’ when they are either held for trading for purposes of short term profit taking, derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or when they are designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in carrying value being included in profit or loss if electing to choose ‘fair value through profit or loss’ or other comprehensive income if electing ‘Fair Value through other comprehensive income’.
ii. Financial Liabilities
The Company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loan and borrowings, provisions for cash bonus and other liabilities which include deferred cash consideration and deferred equity consideration for acquisition of subsidiary & associates. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings, and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
Fair value
Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.
Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipts of cash flows expire or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risk and benefits associated with the asset. Financial Liabilities are recognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expire. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
f) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.
g) Loans
Loans are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Loans are included in current assets, except for those which are not expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period.
h) Trade and other receivables
Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are classified as current assets. All other receivables are classified as non-current assets.
Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment.
13
107
13. Independent Limited Assurance Report continued
Collectability of trade and other receivables are reviewed on an ongoing basis. An impairment loss is recognised for debts which are known to be uncollectible. An impairment provision is raised for any doubtful amounts
i) Exploration and evaluation expenditure
Exploration and evaluation costs represent intangible assets. Exploration, evaluation and development costs are expensed as incurred. Acquisition costs related to an area of interest are capitalised and carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage which permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the areas of interest are continuing.
Costs of site restoration are provided over the life of the facility from when exploration commences and are included in the costs of that stage. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of mining plant, equipment and building structures, waste removal, and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with clauses of the mining permits. Such costs have been determined using estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and technology on an undiscounted basis.
Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site restoration, there is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to community expectations and future legislation. Accordingly the costs have been determined on the basis that the restoration will be completed.
j) Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial period which are unpaid and stated at their amortised cost. The amounts are unsecured and are generally settled on 30 day terms.
k) Share capital
Ordinary issued capital is recorded at the consideration received. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares and share options are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any related income tax benefit. Ordinary issued capital bears no special terms or conditions affecting income or capital entitlements of the shareholders.
l) Impairment of financial assets
At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a significant or prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
The carrying amount of financial assets including uncollectible trade receivables is reduced by the impairment loss through the use of an allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss.
With the exception of available-for-sale equity instruments, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.
In respect of available-for-sale equity instruments, any subsequent increase in fair value after an impairment loss is recognised directly in the financial assets reserve in other comprehensive income.
14
108 ORANGE MINERALS NL Prospectus
==> picture [596 x 131] intentionally omitted <==
Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expire or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expire. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non- cash assets or liabilities assumed is recognised in profit or loss.
m) Impairment of non-financial assets
At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Impairment testing is performed annually for intangible assets with indefinite lives and intangible assets not yet available for use. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
n) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.
Provisions are measured using the best estimate of amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period.
o) Revenue and other income
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable after taking into account any trade discounts and volume rebates allowed. Any consideration deferred is treated as the provision of finance and is discounted at a rate of interest that is generally accepted in the market for similar arrangements. The difference between the amount initially recognised and the amount ultimately received is interest revenue.
Interest income is recognised as it accrues in the profit and loss using the effective interest method.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of Goods and Services Tax (GST).
p) Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial period are discussed below.
15
109
13. Independent Limited Assurance Report continued
Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or may have, on the consolidated entity based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the consolidated entity operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the consolidated entity unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Income tax
The consolidated entity is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The consolidated entity recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on the consolidated entity's current understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the carrying amounts, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
Exploration and evaluation expenditure
In accordance with AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources, the costs of acquiring rights to explore areas of interest are capitalised. All other exploration expenditure is expensed to the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. The costs of acquisition are carried forward where the rights of tenure are current and:
(i) such costs are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploration of the area of interest, or alternatively by its sale; or
(ii) exploration activities in the area have not yet reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable resources.
Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed annually for impairment in accordance with AASB 6 and where impairment indicators exist, recoverable amounts of these assets will be estimated based on discounted cash flows from their associated cash generating units. An impairment loss is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income where the carrying values of exploration and evaluation assets exceed their recoverable amounts.
When the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource have been demonstrated then any capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is reclassified as capitalised mine development. Prior to reclassification, capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is assessed for impairment.

Geological Setting and mineralisation
The Orange Project is geologically located within the Lachlan Fold Belt (LFB), a region dominated by northsouth trending belts of Lower Palaeozoic sediments, calc-alkaline volcanics and granitic intrusions, that were formed during accretion of an intraoceanic rift basin in a convergent plate margin of Gondwana (current Eastern Australian Coast) (Figure 0.2). Significant geological features of the area include the Macquarie Arc Volcanics, distinct N-s trending belts of volcanic rocks that mark the original intraoceanic subduction zones and potential host rocks for mineralisation; and the Lachlan Thrust Zone (LTZ) – a west-northwest trending zone of interpreted crustal weakness consisting of numerous faults and associated with a number of known Porphyry deposits in the region.

Independent Geologists Report Executive summary
Structures in the Project area are dominantly NW trending with numerous splays and associated alteration, with deep east dipping thrust faults marking contacts between sedimentary and volcanic units. The region is prospective for numerous styles of mineralisation, most notable porphyry style Cu-Au, structurally hosted/orogenic gold and VMS base metal deposits, with historical and current mining activities taking place across the region since the early 1900’s.

The Majestic Project is geologically located in the Eastern Goldfields Superterrane (EGST); a package of meta-sediments and volcanics that were emplaced during repeated periods of intracontinental rifting and accretion, during the Archean creation of the West Australian Yilgarn Craton. Northwest–southeast trending corridors of fault bounded Archean aged greenstone sequences define sub-terranes within the EGST. The Project is located at the margin two of these sub-terranes, the Kurnalpi Terrane and the Kalgoorlie Terrane, and are respectively dominated by either calc-alkaline intermediate volcanic and volcaniclastic sedimentary rocks of the Juglah Dome; or mafic-ultramafic greenstones consisting of komatiites, basalts and sediments (Witt et al., 2017). Approximately half of the tenements are located in the felsic rocks of the Kurnalpi Juglah Dome and the other half in the mafic-ultramafic units of the Kalgoorlie greenstone terrane. Collectively these sub-terranes form part of the Kalgoorlie-Kurnalpi Rift (KKR).

Independent Geologists Report Executive summary
Repeated periods of east-northeast (ENE)—west-southwest (WSW) orientated compression, has progressively formed north-northwest (NNW) trending folds and faults including the Majestic Fault, Goddard Fault, Juglah Fault, Emu and Avoca faults. Structures and lithological competency differences produce complex local folded and faulted geometries and facilitate the movement and concentration of magma and crustal derived heat and fluids throughout the rocks.
The EGST hosts numerous occurrences of gold mineralisation from current and historical exploration and mining activities conducted throughout the region, with studies estimating the majority of gold mineralisation to occur within the Kalgoorlie Terrane when compared to the Kurnalpi terrane which is identified as being comparatively “underexplored”. Numerous academic studies generally agree that the bulk of the gold endowment within the KKR is orogenic, with mineralisation occurring late in the tectonic cycle as either:
-
Fault associated “Distal” mineralisation where gold is found within the mafic-ultramafic greenstones of the Kalgoorlie Terrane.
-
Intrusion related “Proximal” style mineralisation where gold is associated with alteration zones in felsic to intermediate intrusions of the Juglah Dome.
In both cases, competency contrasts generated by weakness between rock units, and secondary faulting and folding are important in trapping local concentrations of gold.

Exploration Activities
OMX and its related parties have recently undertaken historical data compilation including the development of regional geological framework models for the Projects. Additionally, limited recent soil geochemical sampling and ground truthing via geological mapping formed part of the investment due diligence for development of the exploration portfolio included in the Prospectus.

As per the VALMIN Code (2015), a first draft of the Report was supplied to OMX to check for material error, factual accuracy and omissions before the final Report was issued. The final Report was issued following review of any comments made by Iceni
As defined in the VALMIN Code (2015), mineral assets comprise all property including (but not limited to) tangible property, intellectual property, mining and exploration tenure and other rights held or acquired in relation to the exploration, development of and production from those tenures. This may include plant, equipment and infrastructure owned or acquired for the development, extraction and processing of minerals relating to that tenure.
SRK has classified the projects, as Early to Advanced Exploration projects in accordance with the categories outlined in the VALMIN Code (2015), these categories being:
-
Early-Stage Exploration Projects – Tenure holdings where mineralisation may or may not have been identified, but where Mineral Resources have not been identified.
-
Advanced Exploration Projects – Tenure holdings where considerable exploration has been undertaken and specific targets have been identified that warrant further detailed evaluation,

usually by drill testing, trenching or some other form of detailed geological sampling. A Mineral Resource estimate may or may not have been made, although sufficient work will have been undertaken on at least one prospect to provide both a good understanding of the type of mineralisation present and encouragement that further work will elevate one or more of the prospects to the Mineral Resources category.
SRK notes that a JORC 2004 Resource was reported to the ASX for the Calarie Tenement in June 2012. Although the JORC 2004 estimate was classified as Inferred, no accompanying Table 1 was reported, and therefore SRK considers it to be an Advanced Exploration Project pending technical review and update according to JORC 2012 guidelines
1.2 Forward-looking statement
Mineral exploration is a high-risk process, particularly during the early phases. It is possible that no significant mineralisation exists. Project success can also be impacted by uncertainty in the market, including volatility and variations in commodity prices, which may have either positive or negative impacts.
1.3 Work program
SRK’s work program commenced in June 2021, with a technical assessment of material data, including reports sourced from a data room supplied by OMX and the subscription database S&P Global Market Intelligence database services. Further to this review and assessment, the Report was prepared by SRK.
The compilation of the Report has revealed material exploration results that contribute to the technical validity of the Projects. Material results have been disclosed in relevant Table 1 documents prepared to accompany this Report, as part of ASX public reporting guidelines. The exploration results are based on, and fairly represent, information and supporting documentation prepared by SRK and the Authors of the Report.
A site inspection to the Project was not undertaken by SRK as, in SRK’s opinion a site inspection was unlikely to reveal additional current information that was material to the Report, over and above that supplied by OMX.
1.4 Effective date
The effective date of this Report is 18 October 2021.
1.5 Legal matters
SRK has not been engaged to comment on any legal matters. SRK notes that it is not qualified to make legal representations as to the ownership and legal standing of the mineral tenements that are the subject of this Report. SRK has not attempted to confirm the legal status of the tenements

2.2 Access and location
The Orange Project is located approximately 200 km west-northwest of Sydney; in the Central Tablelands and Central West regions of NSW, surrounding the major regional centres of Orange and Bathurst, and smaller townships of Parkes and Forbes, each with approximate populations of approximately 40,000, 37000, 11,000 and 8,000 people respectively. Access to the Orange Project area is via major sealed roads and highways across the region. An extensive rail network exists already servicing the mining sector within the region. Skilled and unskilled labour can be readily sourced from townships across the region. The Orange Regional airport is regularly serviced from the NSW and Queensland State capitals of Sydney and Brisbane.
2.3 Physiography, climate and vegetation
The physiography of the Orange Project area varies from low undulating topography areas in the western drainage areas surrounding Parkes and Forbes, to steep hills and valleys with elevations up to 922m. Orange sits at an elevation of 879m above sea level and experiences a mild, and generally warm and temperate climate (Köppen-Geiger climate classification code Cfb) with hot, wet summers and cool, mostly wet winters. Significant rainfall occurs year-round; the average rainfall being 894.6mm. Snow falls are not un-common. Exploration and field activities can be undertaken year-round un-encumbered by climate events. The hottest months are January and February, with maximum temperatures averaging 27.5 and 26°C. The coolest months are June and July, with daytime maximum temperatures averaging 10.4°C. The year-round diurnal temperature range typically varies between 9.4°C and 14.5°C.

Independent Geologists Report Orange Project
The Orange Project is located proximal to large population centres, and numerous townships, with significant infrastructure such as powerlines and major highways crosscutting some of the project areas. Surrounding the townships land is utilised for mixed use farming, dominantly freehold land held by external parties, and national parks. Native title and land title agreements exists for the Orange Project. Combined with proximity to populous centres, this can restrict exploration activities.
Remnant vegetation covers the western lower lying and undulating areas of the Orange Project and land is mainly used for sheep and cattle grazing; while the steeper areas are forested with primary eucalypt or lumber (commonly pine) plantations. Elevated timbered areas are often characterised by historic mining activities. Historical mining activities including old workings, pits shafts and plant equipment are distributed throughout the region.
2.4 Status of tenure
Information on the mineral rights applicable to the Orange Project have been provided to SRK by OMX and its legal advisors for details regarding licences in the Company’s portfolio. Tenements and applications are held by various companies, with acquisition, option and Joint Venture agreements in place (Table 2-1).

SRK understands that OMX has material expenditure conditions to be meet as part of a Joint Venture agreement (JV) with Godolphin Resources Limited, to be met within a specified time frame of February 2022 for five of the 19 tenements. These include the Calarie and Wisemans Creek projects where a combined total of 64% of the Exploration expenditure is planned to be allocated. All tenements except for these under application by OMX, are subject to a 2.5% Net Smelter Royalties with third party company Monarch Royalty & Investments Pty Ltd.
Further details of the ownership, tenure status and accordingly relevant material agreements are presented in the Solicitor’s Report on Title set out in the Prospectus. The tenement schedule is given in Appendix A. SRK has made all reasonable enquiries into this status and has relied on representations from OMX that the information is correct for the purpose of the Report.
2.5 Regional Geology
Geologically, the Orange Project occurs in the Lachlan Fold Belt – a series of Cambrian-Devoninan aged mafic-intermediate volcanic, volcaniclastic and sedimentary rocks formed during a period of prolonged extensive intra-oceanic rifting off the coast of the Paleoproterozoic Gondwana supecontinent. Thick rock packages were subsequently subjected to volcanic, granitic intrusive and orogenic episodes to form a series of orogenic belts along what is the current Eastern Coast of the Australian continent (Foster and Gray 2000). Collectively these rocks packages are referred to as the Tasminides and comprise five defined separate orogenic belts marking different periods of sedimentary and volcanic activity within the rift basin setting. These include the Lachlan Orogen, Delamarian Orogen, Thomson Orogen, Mosman Orogen, and the New England Orogen (Figure 2.3).
Within the Lachlan Fold Belt, four main packages of volcanic rocks are identified; the JuneeNarromine Volcanic Belt (JNVB); Molong Volcanic Belt (MVB), Rockley-Gulong Volcanic Belt (RGVB) and the lesser Kinadra Volcnic Belt (KVB). These belts are collectively referred to as the Macquarie Arc, and are interspersed with Ordovician aged sediments, bounded by West-Northwest trending, deep east dipping thrust faults, thought to represent original basin architecture (Glenn et all 2012). Conjugate splays and local folding control local geometries of the volcanic and sedimentary packages. The majority of the faults within the project area trend North-NorthWest. A major structural feature known as the Lachlan Transverse Zone (LTZ) marks a corridor of defined WNW trending faults, that are identified as being favourable for porphyry emplacement (Figure 2.4).
Intra-oceanic subduction zones are generally understood to be an important component in the creating mineralized deposits, providing the necessary rocks, heat, metal sourcing fluids and structures to introduce metal into the upper crust. Oceanic crust is generally understood to be comparatively more enriched in mobile elements than continental crust; thereby making more metal available for subsequent ore deposit forming processes (Glenn et all 2012). Furthermore, the mixing of oceanic fluids with hot magma and melting oceanic crust provides ideal conditions for subsequent ore forming rocks that can be either emplaced via faults and or intrusions into overlying rock packages. The volcanic sequences of the Macquarie Arc mark preferable lithological sequences for these processes and are important in the regional identification of “prospective” ore hosting rocks (Glenn et all 2012).
Mineralization in the Lachlan Fold Belt is varied, including porphyry-epithermal Cu-Au, Volcanic Hosted Massive Sulphur (VMS) base metal deposits, epigenetic Au-base metal, Sn-W porphyry

and structurally hosted Au-base metal deposits styles. The Cadia Mine, located within the Molong Volcanic Belt and LTZ, is identified as the world’s second major alkaline porphyry province and host to porphyry style Cu-Au mineralisation.

2.5.1 Calarie Project
Location, Access and Tenure
Located on the Western side of the Orange Project and covering an area of 137km[2] between the towns of Parkes and Forbes (Figure 2.1), the Calarie project consists of three main tenements each at various stages of historical development including Calarie Mine (ML739), which hosts a historical Mineral Resource estimate which was reported under the guidelines of the JORC Code (2014 Edition); Calarie Extended (EL8580) which has near mine prospectivity; and Wattle Grove (EL8555) which hosts numerous historical exploration prospects. The tenements which comprise the Calarie Project are currently owned by Godolphin Resources Limited. OMX has entered into a JV agreement to advance the projects via additional exploration drilling and investigation with a specified time period. Further detail on these agreements is outlined in Annexure B of the prospectus.

Mining exclusions zones are in place due to proximity with small rural farming activities. Significant infrastructure within the tenement boundaries includes power transmission lines, gas pipelines, crown land irrigation and wastewater management systems (Grieve & Fitzpatrick 2019).
Rehabilitation of historical mining activities has been noted in reports. The condition of the Old Lachlan Mine shaft located on ML739 is unclear. Historical mining processing infrastructure includes an old CIP plant and tailings treatment facility operated by Lachlan Valley Mines. Rehabilitation of tailings and bulk sampling pits has been recorded. The exact volume of tailings that was reprocessed is uncertain. The shed associated with gold plant has been retained; but plant and drums containing carbon granule removed. Some surface historical drillholes and sites have been capped and rehabilitated.
SRK has not undertaken a site inspection to determine the existence and/or status of the historical mining infrastructure, including underground access. The project is currently understood to be on care and maintenance. Future works would need to consider this. The proximity of the project to townships, infrastructure and crown land, presents access, environmental, social and mining operational and rehabilitation historical as well as potential future operational risk. These should be fully explored as part of further advanced project studies.
2.5.2 Local geology and Mineralisation
The Calarie Project is located in the north-south trending Forbes-Parkes Belt, which forms part of the Junee-Narromine Volcanic Belt (JNVB), south of the Lachlan Transverse Zone. The local stratigraphy and structure of the area is detailed and well documented with studies undertaken by Geological Survey of NSW across the broader region in 1990 by Krynene et all. The area is dominated by two main rock types - the Parkes and Nash Hill Ordovician Volcanics and younger Ordovician-Silurian intermediate volcanics, sediments and cherts.
The regionally significant east dipping Parkes thrust, marked by the boundary between the volcanic and sedimentary rock units, runs parallel along all the tenements of the Calarie Project for an approximate distance of 10km, and is associated with northeast trending faults and splays referred to as the Parkes Fault system. Gold mineralisation is associated with this trend, which is thought to be the source of mineralized fluid (Ostrowski 2020a). Low temperature albite-sericite-carbonitechlorite-quartz +- pyrite is observed proximal to mineralized zones; with pyrite-pyrrhotite-silica alteration becoming dominant closer to Au mineralisation (Grieve & Fitzpatrick 2019). Cainozoic colluvium covers the flanks of the low ridges and hills.
The Ordovician volcanics of the JNVB are considered to be prospective for porphyry style Cu-Au mineralisation; however, the Calarie Project is considered a structurally controlled gold terrain (Ostrowski 2020a). 2 styles of mineralisation are observed from historical workings in the project area:
-
1) Au mineralization at altered contacts between volcanic and sedimentary rocks
-
2) narrow vein quartz deposits.

Records show historical mining activity at the Lachlan Deposit on ML739, between 1896 and 1908. Small tonnage gold deposits extracted from three separate underground operations along the 0.81km long Lachlan Gold lode; historical production recorded 1.2 tonne (~39,000 oz) gold, from 55,000t of ore at average Au grade of 22 g/t, from an ore zone that ranged in width up to 12m wide. Mining was noted to be abandoned on rock faces grading 0.6 to 1.25 oz/t (19 to 39 g/t) due to gold price at the time (Sainty, 2012).
Between 1988, and 1997 BHP, Newcrest and Hargraves Resources NL drilled a portion of the lode to a depth of 120m; and in 1997 Hargraves completed a detailed study of this drilling which included a Resource estimate. Metallurgical test work, sensitivity analysis, pit optimisations and a pre-feasibility report were included in this study (Sainty, 2012). Drilling identified elevated Au grades along the line of lode. Four additional drillholes, drilled to a depth of 235m over strike length of 800m by Tri-Aus Min Ltd, in 1998 demonstrated potential for along strike and down dip continuity of elevated Au grades.
In 2011, Goodrich engaged in a farm in agreement with TriAusMin Ltd to explore the potential for mineralisation along the 8km strike length of the Parkes Fault, and to review the prospectivity for copper-gold mineralisation in the area (Figure 2.6).

In 2012 Hellman Schofield engaged to conduct a review of the 1997 Lachlan Deposit Resource against JORC 2012 reporting Criteria. The review involved construction of 32 drillhole sections plotting compiled historical drillhole data including 167 RC and Diamond drill holes and running check estimates at 1g/t cut-offs for comparison against the reported tonnes and grade. The review indicated a continuous zone of elevated Au values with a strike length of approximately 800m in direction of 025 degrees NE (Figure 2.7) and highlighted a number of drillholes ending within mineralised zones, and some intersected additional mineralised zones outside of the main lode, highlighting the potential for resource extensions. Check estimates run at 1g/t cut-off using Inverse Distance Squared (IDS) estimation method cut-offs produced similar results to the 1997 estimate. The author concluded that it was reasonable for Goodrich Resources Ltd to report a Maiden “Inferred” Resource, to the ASX in March 2012.

-
Discussion and reasoning around reasonable prospects of economic extraction (RPEE) - i.e. economic cutoffs, mining methods, geometallurgy, processing, environmental aspects; or classification criteria
-
Discussion and evidence pertaining to the confidence and controls on geological and grade continuity
-
Conflicting geological and mineralization styles and models - announced as porphyry style in report; but Godolphin exploration reports note area is prospective for orogenic structurally controlled Au

- Sampling inconsistencies, including missing and/or selective sampling and lack of QAQC checks and reviews of historical data
In SRK’s opinion the Mineral Resource estimate does not comply with the quality, reporting or classification guidelines of the JORC 2012 Code and is not a reasonable estimate. In SRK’s opinion the results from the historical drilling of the Lachlan line of lode demonstrates the area is prospective for gold mineralization.
2.5.4 Recent Exploration
Recent exploration activities across the Calarie Project have focused on developing project wide datasets and desktop reviews to understand the broader potential for mineralisation across the project area. This work has been undertaken by Godolphin Resources, who acquired the tenements which comprise the Calarie Projects in late 2019 as part of a transaction with Ardea Resources.
Godolphin engaged Rangott Mineral Exploration to undertake a project wide data compilation, review and target generation study between 2018-2020. Historical geochemical and geophysical datasets including soil and rock chip and drilling samples, ground, and government magnetics, radiometrics, structural interpretations, magnetic interpretations, were compiled to produce individual prospect rankings. The resulting data 2D data compilation map supports multiple exploration trends across the broader project area (Figure 2.8). Minor sampling activities soil sampling campaigns were undertaken at the Wattlevale North and McMillans trend prospect (10 soil samples) sent to ALS lab for geochemical analysis (in material).
The targeting study identified 8 key areas across the Project prospective for Au mineralisation and further exploration activities (Table 2-4), with priority assigned to the development of the upgrade of the historical Lachlan Mine Resource to JORC 2012 standards and development of near mine exploration targets. Recommendations for drilling and MOP studies, to advance the historical resource to JORC 2012 guidelines, near mine/resource extension drilling (Calarie) and regional targets areas including prospective areas along the Parkes thrust. Regional exploration trends plotted in Figure 2.9.

2.6 Wisemans Creek Project
2.6.1 Location, Access, and Tenure
The Wisemans Creek project is located in the south-east of the NSW project area. The project is comprised of four granted exploration licences including (EL8554) which is currently under joint venture (JV) agreement between Godolphin and OMX; and three additional leases applied for directly by OMX comprising EL9244, EL9249 and EL9239.
The project area is located within elevated undulating topography; and access is via sealed road. historical mining activities have taken place across the area with gold, copper base metals and BiW exploited from historical mining activities.
OMX have no current plans to undertake any work on the exploration licences applied for in its own name; hence this section will focus with EL8554 on which OMX intends to spend 32% of its proposed budget to develop.

and younger sediments of the Early Devonian Hill End trough. In contrast to other project areas, EL8554 is dominated by later carboniferous intrusions; including the Tarara granite which forms an arcuate belt in the northern part of tenement; Bathurst batholith including the Oberon and Duckmaloi granites in the south-eastern parts of the tenement; and interpreted dyke intrusions in the east of the tenement (Figure 2.11). The area presents a dominant north-south trending structural fabric presenting as faults, thrusts and isoclinal folding.
The occurrence of granite batholiths present complex geological associations, in particularly resulting in varied alteration and mineralisation styles. Stronger iron oxide alteration noted in the eastern parts of the tenements and the western parts being dominated by alumina-magnesium minerals. Mineralization occurrences across the project area are highly varied, with historical mining and exploration of epithermal gold-silver; orogenic gold; porphyry copper gold, skarn hosted copper gold and volcanic hosted massive sulphides hosting Cu-Zn-Pb-Au and Ag. Skarn deposits associated with contact between granites and sediments.

2.6.3 Historical exploration
Numerous historical exploration activities have taken place across EL8554, by various companies. Activities include stream sampling, rock chip sampling, outcrop mapping, geophysical surveys and drilling.
In 2019 Ardea Resources Ltd engaged Knox Minerals Pty Ltd to undertake tenement wide exploration and targeting review across EL8554, involving a compilation of historical data and a review of publicly available stream sediment data (Vassalo 2019). The study was restricted to areas of interest and data availability, with a number of errors in drillhole collar locations noted (Vasseloo 2019).
Landsat Imagery and stream sediment data were primarily used to identify anomalous metal concentrations, in the absence of comprehensive outcrop mapping and comprehensive insitu rock chip sampling by drilling methods. Landsat 8 data from USGS web portal ‘Earth Explorer’ was utilised to highlight geological areas of interest. 2700 geochemical results from stream sediment samples across the tenement integrated assessed for anomalous values and compared to historical prospects (Figure 2.12). No tenement wide mineral systems review has been conducted and was recommended as part of the 2019 study.

Drillhole, rock chip and soil geochemical datasets were selectively compiled from hard copy records, with spatial discrepancies of up to 100m noted between recorded collar locations, at the Duckmaloi project. 14 unranked areas were identified as prospective for various mineralisation styles including VMS, porphyry, and skarn related mineralisation (Figure 2.13) and area summarised in Table 2-5. Notably, 10 out of 88 historical drillholes compiled for the Black Bullock Prospect indicate elevated gold values associated with historical IP and magnetic anomalies (Figure 2.14).
No further exploration activities are understood to have taken place since this work.

2.7 Copper Hill Project
2.7.1 Location, Access, and Tenure
The Copper Hill Project encompasses 3 tenements including EL8323 (subject to JV agreement with Godolphin Resources); EL8632 (Impact Minerals) and EL9214 (Bullseye Gold Pty Ltd). The main railway from Orange to Dubbo passes through the western half of EL8323.
Project area has long history of mining with first payable gold workings recorded from the area in 1851 (Grieve & Fitzpatrick, 2019). Historical prospects and workings include Ophir, Dead Horse Gully, Summerhill Creek and Pine Forest (all on EL8323).
2.7.2 Local geology and Mineralisation
The Copper Hill Project area lies within the Molong Volcanic Belt, with sediments of the Mubil Shelf on the western side of the project area, and early Hill End trough sediments to the east. The volcanics and sediment packages are separated by the regionally extensive Godolphin Thrust, and the WNW-trending LTZ crosscuts the southern part of the Project area (Figure 2.15).
The areas are dominated by thrust faults and folding, off-setting sedimentary and volcanic packages. Significant north-northwest trending faults include McDonalds Hill, Lewis Ponds, and the Godolphin Fault in southern and central project areas. Alteration in the area is associated with veining, dominantly occurring as silica chlorite-pyrite-sericite. No porphyry style assemblages have been identified, despite lying within the LTZ which is identified as regionally prospective zone of weakness for porphyry style mineralisation. Area “thought” to be prospective for Orogenic style Au (shear and vein hosted); placer/alluvial and VHMS style mineralisation, with mineralisation interpreted to occur along interpreted NE cross cutting faults (Vassilo 2019).

2.7.3 Historical exploration
Limited data made available on historical exploration activities across the Copper Hill project area. Exploration on EL8323 has been recorded as discontinuous since the 1960s and has included regional geological mapping, stream sediment geochemistry, rock chip sampling, airborne magnetics and EM surveys conducted by various companies including Delta Gold in 1997 and New Origin Gold Corp and Placer Dome in 2002 (SnP). Very little drilling has been noted within the tenement (Grieve & Fitzpatrick 2019).
2.7.4 Recent Exploration
In 2019-2020, Knox Minerals Pty Ltd completed a comprehensive data review and target generation report for Godolphin on EL8323. Historical publicly available exploration datasets were collated from NSW open database Minview, including surface geochemistry, drilling data geophysics and Landsat 8. Data was used to undertake desktop review and targeting study in which ten areas were identified as having potential porphyry Cu-Au-Mo, VHMS, orogenic gold and structurally hosted base metal mineralisation. Recent exploration activities on EL8323 have been focused on finalising Native Title agreements around Ophir and conducting further desktop studies/investigations into soil/stream copper anomalies in surrounding prospects.
2019 exploration activities on EL8632 by Impact Minerals included a tenement wide targeting assessment. Kenex Pty Ltd were engaged to conduct a desktop study utilising a weights of evidence approach – a geostatistical approach utilising numerical values to quantify geological concepts including key lithological relationships; interpreted fault trends; geophysical dataset interpretations; geochemical data; known mineral occurrences. The study resulted in seven targets: six VMS and one skarn copper-gold. Additional review of regional magnetic and radiometric airborne geophysics was undertaken in 2020 as well as desktop interpretation and investigating into prospectivity for porphyry Cu-Au; orogenic Au; VMS deposits.
2.8 Boda Project and Other Tenements
The Boda project area is located in the Northern NSW project area approximately 100km east of the township of Dubbo.
The project area is comprised of three granted exploration tenements under proposed acquisition: EL9032, EL9109 and partial area of EL8505. SRK understands that areas within tenement EL8505 have been subject to recent partial relinquishments.
Recent exploration activities undertaken on EL8505 followed desktop studies completed in 2019. Kenex Pty Ltd engaged in 2020 to undertake mineral potential studies for porphyry copper-gold, VMS, and skarn copper-gold deposits, using limited rock chip sampling data and proximity review to existing deposits and mineral occurrences in the region. Targets identified reported to be conceptual in nature and not yet mature enough for drill testing.
SRK understand that an immaterial percentage of the monies raised from the offer in the Prospectus will be used to undertake exploration activities on these tenements

2.9 Prospectivity of Orange Project
Historical exploration and activities undertaken by various companies over time have all contributed to varying levels of understanding of the geological framework and understandings of controls on mineralisation occurrences within the Orange Project. It is reasonable to expect that based on the historical activities in the area, the recorded drilling results, and the interpreted geological controls on mineralisation, that future exploration activities will result in the advancement of the understanding of mineralisation of gold, copper and base metals deposits across the Orange Project, in particular at the Calarie Project
Risks and opportunities
SRK notes that while detailed collation and targeting studies have been undertaken to derive the multiple exploration targets and prospects across the Orange Project, the targets are not sufficiently advanced in nature to report as Exploration Targets under JORC Code (2012) guidelines. As such, much of the perceived exploration potential is conceptual in nature.
An estimated confidence range of +/-60 to 100% or more is not uncommon for exploration areas and within acceptable bounds, given the level of technical uncertainty (Figure 3.16). By applying narrower confidence ranges, a greater degree of certainty regarding these assets is implied than may be the case.
Figure 2.16: Uncertainty by advancing exploration stage
==> picture [337 x 206] intentionally omitted <==
To narrow the technical confidence range at the Orange Project SRK recommends that OMX:
- validate and check historical exploration results to illuminate risks associated with historical data including, sample location, assay results and sampling quality and

- Reviews and consolidates the projects in line with the broader geological framework and apply mineral systems approach to support regional targeting and development strategy for broader NSW project area, for projects that lack comprehensive drilling and sampling data.
2.9.1 Calarie Project - Prospectivity, Risk and Opportunity
In SRK’s opinion the Calarie Project is an advanced exploration project, prospective for structurally hosted gold. Historical mining activities and drilling results indicate that ML739 on the Calarie Project is highly prospective for structurally hosted gold, both within the current drilled extents of the Historical resource and at depth and along strike. Furthermore, soil sampling, minor drilling results, historical mining activities, geophysics and geological interpretation of the extended Parkes thrust, suggest that the broader Project area is prospective for repeated zones of elevated gold grades along a strike of 8km.
Key risks with the Calarie Project are the dependence of the understanding on the development and interpretation on the Historical Lachlan Mine Resource. Immediate opportunity exists to validate historical drilling and datasets, including validation and checks on collar locations, sampling methods, geochemical assay data, geological logging review, lithogeochemical review and structural review; to validate 3D mineralisation models and develop near mine exploration targeting models and strategy.
Structurally hosted gold is generally considered to be highly variable, thus there is risk associated with the spatial continuity of the mineralised zones. A regional geological framework and modelling of local structural/lithological setting and controls would improve local geological confidence and support near mine development modelling and conceptual scheduling studies.
Opportunity to review and validate historical resource in line with JORC 2012 guidelines, in particularly focusing on historical data validation, RPEE and SEG.
In SRK’s opinion, the proximity to the township of Forbes allows for easy access to site, and support from local services, business, and infrastructure; complexities in land access agreements, environmental permitting and community relations may restrict timing and planning of some exploration activities.
Due to the early stage of the project, SRK has not conducted a site visit to assess infrastructure, rehabilitation, and underground access. Recommend that this be undertaken prior to feasibility and mining studies.
2.9.2 Wisemans Creek - Prospectivity, Risk and Opportunity
In SRKS’ opinion the Wisemans creek project is an early stage of exploration project, with historical exploration results at the Bullock Creek prospect indicating the area is prospective for gold and silver mineralisation. The area is geologically differentiated by the abundance of carboniferous granite intrusions, increasing prospectivity for variety of deposits styles including VMS base metal, skarn hosted tungsten-bismuth, porphyry copper gold and orogenic gold.
Exploration targeting across the project area is historical in nature with limited tenement scale exploration activities and review undertaken.

2.9.3 Copper Hill - Prospectivity, Risk and Opportunity
In SRK’s opinion the Copper Hill Project area is at an early exploration stage, with potential for porphyry style copper-gold mineralisation. The project requires further early-stage project wide exploration activities to advance understanding of project prospectivity.
2.9.4 Boda - Prospectivity, Risk and Opportunity
In SRK’s opinion the Boda Hill Project area is at an early exploration stage. The project requires further early-stage project wide exploration activities to advance understanding of project prospectivity.
2.9.5 Other tenements - Prospectivity, Risk and Opportunity
SRK understands that little work has been undertaken by OMX to advance the understanding of exploration potential of this tenure. Comprehensive review and data compilation recommended to enable balanced approach to project development strategy.

3 Majestic Project
3.1 Introduction
The Majestic Project spans approximately 50 km, within the Kurnalpi Terrane of the Eastern Goldfields, and is located approximately 50 km east of the regional town of Kalgoorlie in the area around the Majestic, Kurnalpi and Mt Monger gold mining centres (Figure 3.1). The Project comprises 58 variably distributed granted and pending exploration and prospecting tenements. The project can be further divided into the north eastern Kurnalpi and southern Majestic Project area(see Figure 3.1). The tenement package includes 5 granted exploration licences (E25/0484, E25/0579, E25/0591, E26/0218 and E28/2294), 1 granted mining lease (M25/0367), 30 granted prospecting licences and 22 prospecting licences under application. Nearby mines include the Imperial-Majestic Gold Mine (approximately 3 km to the south of the project area), the Mt Monger Gold Mine (approximately 4 km to the east of the project area) and the Kalgoorlie Golden Mile (approximately 50 km to the west of the project area).

3.5 Regional Geology
Geologically, the Project is in the Eastern Goldfields Superterrane (EGST); a package of sediments and volcanics that were emplaced during repeated periods of intracontinental rifting and accretion, during the creation of the West Australian Yilgarn Craton. NNW-SSE trending corridors of fault bounded Archean aged greenstone sequences define sub-terranes within the EGST. The Project is dominantly located at the margin two of these sub-terranes, the Kurnalpi Terrane, and the Kalgoorlie Terrane, that form part of the Kalgoorlie-Kurnalpi Rift (KKR) (Figure 3.4).
-
The Kurnalpi Terrane is dominated by calc-alkaline intermediate volcanic and volcaniclastic sedimentary rocks; occurring as sequences of mafic volcanics, meta-mafics and sediments; felsic volcanics and volcaniclastics, intrusive bimodal volcanics and late-stage sediments, emplaced across a time of ca <2,870 to >2,665 Ma (Witt et al., 2017).
-
The Kalgoorlie Terrane, comprising dominantly ~2.71 to ~2.69 Ga komatiites and basalts and lesser sediments (Witt et al., 2017).
The lithological composition of the sub-terranes marks a change in mantle plume and associated volcanism during a major period of rifting and are separated by a west dipping structure that is understood to be a deep ‘mantle’ tapping boundary that has been subject to prolonged geological activity (Witt, 2020).

Following rifting and deposition of sediments in the KKR, rocks of the Kurnalpi and Kalgoorlie terrane have undergone repeated periods of east-northeast (ENE)—west-southwest (WSW) orientated compression, with movement and offset occurring along pre-existing structures and lithological contrasts and unconformities, to progressively form north-northwest (NNW) trending folds and faults. Structures and lithological competency contrasts produce complex local folded and faulted geometries and facilitate the movement and concentration of magma and crustal derived heat and fluids throughout the rocks. First-order structures are identified as deep ‘shear’ zones generally trending in an NNW direction, and as being a source for magma derived fluids; secondorder structures occur away from these shear zones, often occurring as brittle fault ‘sets’ and present as variable quartz veins sometimes with associated alteration halos depending on how the fluid can penetrate the rocks.
Numerous academic studies provide some guidance on the geological history of the gold endowment within the KKR however, there has been no consensus of opinion with respect to the deformation history and timing of mineralisation reached to date. Known occurrences of gold mineralisation from historical mining and exploration activities indicate an estimated 81% of the historical gold produced from the Yilgarn Craton has been sourced from lithologies within the KKR, of which 59% is derived from the Kalgoorlie Terrane and 10.4% from the Kurnalpi Terrane (Witt et al., 2020).
There is a general agreement that the bulk of the gold endowment within the KKR is orogenic, with mineralisation occurring late in the tectonic cycle (both proximal and distal). It is postulated that one non-orogenic (NO) period of gold mineralisation occurred much earlier in the tectonic cycle (Figure 3.3) and is likely to be epithermal.

Orogenic gold deposition involves a source of fluid, a fluid pathway, and a trap. The Project area is geologically interesting in that its regional setting is favourable for both types of orogenic gold mineralisation:
-
Distal source which is found within the mafic-ultramafic greenstones of the Kalgoorlie Terrane, west and south of the Majestic and Juglah faults.
-
Proximal intrusion related gold in the Kurnalpi Terrane around the felsic to intermediate intrusions of the Juglah Dome.
Further competency contrasts between the felsic granitoids and the volcaniclastic sedimentary and mafic-ultramafic greenstone lithologies provide additional secondary pathways and traps where gold is likely to be deposited; both along brittle structures and in local fold hinges (i.e., Bulong Anticline and Avoca Fault).
3.6 Local Geology and Mineralisation
The Project is divided into a northern (Kurnalpi) and a southern (Majestic) area. The Majestic area is dominated by the Juglah Dome which is a structural feature consisting of calc-alkaline felsic to intermediate intrusive volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks of the Kurnalpi Terrane, structurally overlain by an older west dipping package of mafic-ultramafic greenstones of the Kalgoorlie Terrane (Figure 3.4). Approximately half of the tenements are in the felsic rocks of the Kurnalpi Juglah Dome and the other half in the mafic-ultramafic units of the Kalgoorlie greenstone terrane. The Kurnalpi tenement (E28/2294) is located 40 km to the northeast, within mafic volcanic rocks and minor siliclastic and ultramafic units of the Kurnalpi Terrane and is associated with the west dipping Avoca Fault (Figure 3.5).
Key structures in the Project area include the west dipping Majestic Fault, Goddard Fault, and the Juglah Fault, which all have contributed to the thrusting of the older Kalgoorlie greenstones over younger more competent rocks of the Juglah Dome; the west dipping Emu and Avoca faults in the north-western corner of the Project area, and the Bulong Anticline which defines a regional fold axis (Figure 3.6).

Independent Geologists Report Majestic Project
There has been a long history of gold exploration and mining in tenements surrounding the Project area, however comprehensive drilling and significant mining activities have not taken place within the Project area itself. Existing soil sample data shows few occurrences of surface elevated gold values which is partly a result of the colluvium/alluvium cover across the area, over the Juglah Dome. Existing historical drilling data indicates minor occurrences of Au values >0.1ppm in fresh rock.
There is recorded evidence of small historical workings on some of the tenements. Significant mining and gold production has occurred in adjacent tenements in the area, most notably from the Mt Monger (~4 km from tenement) and Majestic-Imperial Goldfields (~2.5 km from tenement) (Witt, 2020).
The geology at each of these mining areas is analogous to the two distinct lithological settings observed across the Project area, with distal orogenic mineralisation occurring within deformed mafic-ultramafic greenstones at Mt Monger Goldfield; and proximal orogenic style mineralisation occurring as stockwork veining, fractures, and hydrothermal alteration in felsic subvolcanic intrusions of the Majestic-Imperial Goldfield.
Recent project development and exploration activities in the surrounding area further support the potential for both styles of orogenic gold mineralisation and include:
-
project development activities announced to the ASX by Black Cat Syndicate Pty Ltd (ASX release 25 March 2021) (Figure 3.7)
-
gold-copper mineralisation associated with intrusive volcanic lithologies in RC drill intersections announced by Lefroy Exploration Pty Ltd (ASX release 29 April 2021), and referred to as the ‘Burns discovery’ (Figure 3.7).

3.7 Historical Exploration
Historical exploration activities have been undertaken across all tenements by various companies over time, with companies owned and worked individually. Activities focused on the sampling via surface and drilling methods targeting Gold mineralisation at known historical prospects and workings. No known production has taken place on any of the tenements. No known JORC 2012 estimates have been previously reported. Internal targeting by individual companies to advance investigations on tenements has taken place.
Mining Investments Australia (MIA) sequentially acquired tenements to form the current Majestic tenement package between 2017 to 2021. Several studies have been commissioned by MIA since its acquisition of the Project. These studies have been complementary to the regionally focused academic literature, and include:
- Tenement focused field mapping campaign including outcrop mapping and rock chip sampling conducted in 2019-2020. The detailed field study involved regolith and surface mapping for each tenement; review and update of interpreted geology; collection of rock chip samples and subsequent petrographic and litho-geochemical analysis. A total of 151 rock chip samples were collected across the project (Figure 3.8) area to assist with rock identification in areas prone to weathering. Subsequent detailed litho-geochemical analysis assisted in identification of alteration and mineral assemblages, providing confidence in rock types and geological interpretation for each tenement.

- Interpretation and processing of government and open-source Geophysical datasets across project area between August 2020 and April 2012, by technical specialists Southern Geoscience Consultants (SGC). Magnetic and radiometric airborne survey datasets obtained from available government and open file sources, to create georeferenced images and contours on architectural detail of the granite-greenstone terrane of the Project area – including structural, stratigraphic, and anomalous magnetic features – at a scale of 1:10,000.
The SGC study concluded:
-
The early basin architecture is evident in north–south orientated trends in the magnetic data across the Project area. The magnetic data highlights the major contacts between mafics, felsics, sediments and granitoids.
-
Variably oriented secondary ‘linking’ structures are cut by younger northwest to southwest orientated faults.
-
Younger Proterozoic dykes are orientated east–west to east–northeast indicating early basement fractures.
-
The Kurnalpi tenement shows structural complexity thought to be thrusting and folding around possible granite defined by the contrast in magnetic response which shows the detail of these geometries.
-
Granite plutons and intrusions within ultramafic, mafic, and felsic units can be identified across the Majestic area.
SGC subsequently developed a set of 1:50,000 regional to camp-scale geophysical maps for the southwestern Majestic area and a set of 1:25,000 scale maps for the Kurnalpi tenement. The regional scale work was further developed by SGC to generate refined 1:25,000 composite RTP aeromagnetic images (Figure 3.11 and Figure 3.12). The study consolidated tenement scale geological observations, historical data, and interpretations, to produce refined local structural and bedrock interpretations and geological maps at a 1:10,000 scale across the Majestic and Kurnalpi project areas (Figure 3.13 and Figure 3.14).

- Prospectivity and exploration target review undertaken by MIA identified 48 target areas which were established by applying weighted numerical values derived from conceptual geological understandings and measurable geochemical data; and a risk value derived from historical exploration success and geographical location. Targets were reviewed and developed by SGC utilising independent review and additional detailed geological interpretation derived from a review of tenements and targets. Broad target areas are highlighted in figures 3.13 and 3.14.
3.8 Prospectivity Majestic Project
In SRK’s opinion, an established understanding of the regional geological framework, structural trends, lithological domains, and mineralisation styles prospectivity for gold mineralisation has been established across the Majestic Project. This established understanding provides a reasonable regional and local scale model, within which historical occurrences of elevated Au mineralisation has been recorded. The ranked approach to identifying targets is reasoned and considers available compiled historical spatial information.

Independent Geologists Report Majestic Project
SRK notes that while a detailed collation and geological interpretation has been undertaken to derive the multiple exploration targets, the targets are not sufficiently advanced in nature to report an exploration target under JORC Code (2012) guidelines. As such, much of the perceived exploration potential is conceptual in nature.
An estimated confidence range of +/-60 to 100% or more is not uncommon for exploration areas and within acceptable bounds, given the level of technical uncertainty (Figure 3.16). By applying narrower confidence ranges, a greater degree of certainty regarding these assets is implied than may be the case.
Figure 3.16: Uncertainty by advancing exploration stage
==> picture [337 x 207] intentionally omitted <==
To narrow the technical confidence range at the Project SRK recommends:
-
Undertake review and validation of compiled historical data, via desktop studies and twin drilling/validation drill programs.
-
Review and consolidate targets in line with the broader geological framework.
-
Compile available data in 3D software to produce local volume models, for geology, structures, and mineralisation to constrain measurable target areas prior to conducting further exploration works.
A drilling program including 124 RAB drill holes for a total of 10,260 metres and 5 RC or DD drill holes for a total of 1,430 metres has been designed to test gold mineralisation trends interpreted from historical sample data, fault interpretation and gossanous outcrop on the AdvancedExploration stage Kurnalpi tenement E28/2294 (Figure 3.17).

Independent Geologists Report Sources and uses of funds
4 Sources and uses of funds
OMX has developed a technical budget that relies on monies raised from the Proposed listing to undertake RC and DD drilling, geological mapping, acquisition and interpretation of satellite imagery, rock chip sampling and soil sampling within the allocated budget limits .
SRK understands that 64% of the allocated exploration budget will be spent evenly on the Calarie and Wisemans Creek Project areas in NSW; a further 25% will be spend on the Majestic/Kurnalpi projects in WA; and the remaining 10% be split between the Copper Hill and Boda Projects.
The technical budget, which SRK considers to be reasonable is summarised in Table 3. Additional details relating to the sources and uses of funds including tenement costs and costs of the offer are presented the Prospectus.

| Project 5 | Kurnalpi/Majestic | 1.15 | 0.64 | 0.5 | • Undertaking heritage and Native Title negotiations to facilitate ground disturbing activities including Exploration Drilling. • Non-ground disturbing activities including geophysics and surface geochemistry campaigns on the Kurnalpi/Majestic ground to define mineralised trends. |
Source: OMX Management Information
SRK has reviewed the planned work programs and the amounts allocated to those programs Based on its review, SRK is of the opinion that the programs are reasonable for the purpose of advancing the exploration status of the Projects and that OMX has a reasonable understanding of the prospectivity.
Progressive expenditure will depend on the success of the proposed drilling and technical studies. OMX may require additional funds should the outcome of the drilling necessitate modifications to the work program.
SRK notes that mineral assets at a similar stage of study are inherently speculative in nature given the low level of technical confidence and high dependency on historical data. The potential trends and grades given in the exploration results are subject to confirmatory drilling and further investigation. There is a significant recorded body of data pertaining to historical exploration activity across the WA and NSW project areas, in particularly for two key projects Calarie and Majestic. It is reasonable to expect that that further exploration activities in these areas will advance the understandings of the project areas.
The facts, opinions and assessments presented in this Report are current at the Report’s Effective Date of 6 October 2021.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Sampling techniques |
• Nature and quality of sampling (e.g., cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as downhole 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 (e.g. ‘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 (e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. |
•All available drilling and sampling data is historical in nature from exploration campaigns conducted prior to the Company acquiring the Projects. •OMX has not undertaken any data validation or independent checks on data for completion. • Data has been compiled by previous owners (Mining Investments Australia, MIA). Compilation and organisation of historical WAMEX data was undertaken by data-management company GeoBase Australia Pty Ltd to produce a database of the available public historical drilling and sample data across the Project area. The complete dataset over the Project tenements comprises the assay data and results from 4,797 geochemistry samples (2,504 auger, 80 rock samples, 2,195 soil samples, 18 unknown) and 989 drill holes. •The drill hole dataset comprises 1 diamond holes (216m), 89 Reverse Circulation (RC) holes (7,629m), 259 aircore (AC) holes (7,689m) and 640 Rotary Air Blast (RAB) holes (27,436m). •Diamond core samples were collected over a length of 4m prior to the mineralised zone, were sampled to lithology within the mineralised zone and sampled to 1m below the mineralised zone. The sampling method is not recorded. •RC samples were collected either as 1m samples, 2m composites or 4m composites. The sampling method is not recorded. •AC and RAB samples were collected either as 1m samples or 2 – 6m composites. The sampling methods used were grab (139), composites (328), scoop (3,643), spear (948) or unknown (6,183). |
| Drilling techniques |
• Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc.) and details (e.g. core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc.). |
•One diamond hole was drilled. The drilling company was WDD. The type of rig, whether the core was orientated, and core size are not recorded. •89 RC holes were drilled. 30 of the holes were drilled by WDD. The drilling company is not recorded for the remainder of the holes. The bit sizes are not recorded. •260 AC holes were drilled. 11 were drilled by Challenge Drilling; 29 were drilled by Raglan Drilling; the remainder are not recorded. |

14. Independent Geologist’s Report continued
| Commentary •646 RAB holes were drilled. 81 were drilled by Bostech Drilling; 46 were drilled by Challenge Drilling; 23 were drilled by Evans Drilling; 15 were drilled by Mondrill; the remainder are not recorded. •The Company is not aware of any records of drilling recoveries. •Qualitative observations covered lithology, grain size, colour, alteration, mineralisation and veining. •The geology database is incomplete. Where the logging is recorded, the entire length of the drill hole has been logged. •The Company is not aware of any photos of the core or chips. •The Company has no available information on the sampling method for the core or the RC. •The sampling methods recorded for the AC and RAB were grab (139), composites (328), scoop (3,643), spear (948) or unknown (6,183). •QAQC checks and sample representivity is unknown. The Company has no available information on QAQC procedures or sample representivity. |

| Drill sample recovery |
• Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. • Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. • Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. |
•The Company is not aware of any records of drilling recoveries. | |
| Logging | • Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. • Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc.) photography. • The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. |
•Qualitative observations covered lithology, grain size, colour, alteration, mineralisation and veining. •The geology database is incomplete. Where the logging is recorded, the entire length of the drill hole has been logged. •The Company is not aware of any photos of the core or chips. |
|
| 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. |
•The Company has no available information on the sampling method for the core or the RC. •The sampling methods recorded for the AC and RAB were grab (139), composites (328), scoop (3,643), spear (948) or unknown (6,183). •QAQC checks and sample representivity is unknown. The Company has no available information on QAQC procedures or sample representivity. |

| Sampling techniques |
• Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as downhole 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 (e.g. ‘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 (e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. |
•All available drilling and sampling data is historical in nature from exploration campaigns conducted prior to the Company acquiring the Projects. •OMX has not undertaken any data validation or independent checks on data for completion. •Data for EL8554 and EL9244 was compiled by Knox Minerals for Ardea Resources in 2019.

(Criteria listed in section 1 also apply to this section.)
| 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. |
•See Section 2.5 of the Report for details of the ownership and tenure status. |
| Exploration done by other parties |
• Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
•Hard rock and alluvial gold have been mined across the project area since the 1900s. Historical exploration activities across the Project area have focused on multiple prospective targets for structural or contact related gold mineralisation. Local structural and stratigraphic relationships and interpretations have been sequentially compiled and reviewed by various companies over time, supported by various exploration activities including: geophysical surveys including inverse polarisation (IP), magnetics, radiometrics, Digital Elevation Model (5m), interpretation and mapping geophysical features, geochemical signatures/studies, outcrop mapping, mineralisation/vein dating; desktop studies and compilation of orebody characteristics, compilation and reviews of historical mine production, stream sampling, soil samplingand drillingincludingRC and diamond. |
| Geology | • Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
•The Calarie Project is located in the north-south trending Forbes- Parkes Belt, which forms part of the Junee-Narromine Volcanic Belt (JNVB), south of the Lachlan Transverse Zone. The area is dominated by two main rock types - the Parkes and Nash Hill Ordovician Volcanics and younger Ordovician-Silurian intermediate volcanics, sediments and cherts. •The regionally significant east dipping Parkes thrust, marked by the boundary between the volcanic and sedimentary rock units, runs parallel along all the tenements of the Calarie project for an approximate distance of 10km, and is associated with northeast trending faults and splays referred to as the Parkes Fault system. Gold mineralisation is associated with this trend, which is thought to be the source of mineralized fluid. The Calarie project is considered a structurally controlled Gold terrain. |
| 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 drillholes: • easting and northing of the drillhole collar • elevation or RL (Reduced Level–elevation above sea |

|||
| Data aggregation methods |
• In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g. 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. |
•No new Exploration Results are included in this Report. | |
| 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 drillhole angle is known, its nature should be reported. • If it is not known and only the downhole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (e.g. ‘down hole length, true width not known’). |

WORK PROGRAMS AND EXPENDITURE
-
Condition 1 of the respective Licence Instruments for the Tenements requires the licence holder to undertake operations and activities as described in the approved Work Program, and to comply with any commitments associated with the approved Work Program.
-
Pursuant to Section 129A of the Mining Act, an application for an authority and any tender must be accompanied by a Work Program, which indicates the nature and extent of operations and identifies activities to be completed in connection, or ancillary to, those operations involving environmental management, rehabilitation and community consultation activities.
-
Clause 35 of the Mining Regulation prescribes that the Work Program must include particulars of the estimated amount of money proposed to be spent on carrying out the proposed activities on the land subject to the Exploration Licence.
-
A proposed work program must be submitted at the following times:
-
With any application for the grant, renewal, or transfer of a prospecting authority,
-
With any application to amend an approved Work Program.
-
A failure to complete the activities in the Work Program by the end of the period will be deemed a non-performance of the relevant Work Program component, unless satisfactory justification is provided in the relevant Annual Activity Report.
-
In regard to renewal applications, an assessment of work program performance and exploration progress during the current and previous term of a prospecting authority, and project where applicable, will be carried out as part of applications for the renewal of prospecting authorities. A

Solicitors Report on Tenements
key measure of work program performance is achieving the outcomes and objectives in an approved work program and evidence of:
-
Authentic and tangible progress in advancing the geoscientific knowledge of the resource potential of the authority and/or project area, and
-
Reasonable progress in advancing a project towards mining status.
-
It is noted that new requirements were introduced from 1 January 2021 with the introduction of the Mineral prospecting minimum standards – for work programs and technical and financial capability (December 2020) (“ Minimum Standards ”). The commencement of the Minimum Standards removed the requirement for annual resubmission of the work program as part of annual activity reports. It also introduced a new Work Program form, which proposes exploration work to be completed in stages, rather than years. Applications for grant, renewal or transfer of authorities lodged before 31 December 2021 are not subject to the Minimum Standards. Applications lodged on or after 1 January 2021 must comply with the Minimum Standards.
-
Per the Minimum Standards and the Work Program Guidelines, in assessing the proposed exploration activities within a proposed work program, the Department will assess whether the applicant has:
-
demonstrated an understanding of the geology and why the area (individual authority or authorities within a project) is considered prospective for the commodity(s) sought,
-
proposed exploration activities that reflect the stated objectives, rationale and outcomes,
-
proposed exploration activities that are appropriate to discover and/or define potentially economic resources, and
-
proposed activities that will result in authentic and tangible progress in advancing the geoscientific knowledge of the area and/or reasonably progressing a project towards mining status during the term.
-
In accordance with the general regulatory framework in NSW, the Tenements are not subject to any prescribed minimum expenditure requirements. Instead, each of the granted tenements are subject to an approved Work Program, which is enforceable through the Conditions of Title. The Work Programs set out activities for the current term, along with estimated expenditure. Whilst strict compliance with the estimated expenditure is not mandatory, the holder must complete the proposed activities and achieve the goals set out in the Work Program.
-
Please refer to and note the estimated expenditure for each of the Tenements over the current licence term, as listed on approved and proposed Work Programs.
-
A review of overall compliance with the proposed activities set out in the Work Programs is beyond the scope of this report.
REPORTING
- Annual Reports for Exploration Licences are assessed by Mineral Exploration Assessment within the Geological Survey of NSW, on the basis of exploration conducted during the reporting period. Reports are either satisfactory, acceptable or unsatisfactory. A satisfactory assessment means effective exploration was conducted and expenditure was met. An acceptable assessment means a good attempt was made to conduct the planned exploration, but external variables, for example weather, created issues that resulted in significantly less activity being carried out and expenditure

not being met. An unsatisfactory assessment means that minimal or no exploration was conducted, expenditure was not met and no valid reason was provided as to why.
-
Compliance with the expenditure, labour and reporting requirements of a licence instrument is important, as these matters are considered by the Department at the time of renewal. Additionally, compliance or non-compliance with Licence Conditions can determine whether the area of an Exploration Licence is renewed in full, or whether a 50 percent reduction is required
-
Holders of a Mining Lease (or other Lease taken to be a Mining Lease) must submit an annual report within one calendar month of the grant anniversary date of the Lease, or on such other date approved by the Department. The annual report is to include the following information; particulars of all surveys and operations during the reporting period, results and conclusions of any work undertaken and the proposed operations for the next 12-month period.
-
In addition to the annual report, in accordance with current conditions of title the holder of a Mining Lease must submit an annual rehabilitation report. The report must review of the progress of rehabilitation against the performance measures and criteria established in the approved Mining Operations Plan and be submitted annually on the grant anniversary date.
-
Pursuant to Clause 64 of the Mining Regulation, reports lodged must not be disclosed during the period for which the tenement is in force, unless 5 years has passed since the date of lodgement. Annual Activity Reports are not required to be submitted for pending Exploration Licence Applications.
ANNUAL FEES
-
In accordance with Part 14A of the Mining Act, an Annual Rental Fee (“ ARF ”) and Annual Administrative Levy (“ AAL ”) is payable for Exploration Licences and Mining Leases upon the grant anniversary date of a tenement.
-
Schedule 9 of the Mining Regulation provides that the ARF for an Exploration Licence is calculated at a rate of $60 per unit for an Exploration Licence. Section 292K of the Mining Act provides the AAL is calculated as 1% of the relevant proportion of the required security deposit. The minimum ARF is $100 and the minimum AAL is $100.
-
Schedule 9 of the Mining Regulation provides that the ARF for a Mining Lease is calculated at a rate of $6.50 per hectare or $650 per square kilometre or $0.00065 per square metre of the Mining Lease. Section 292K of the Mining Act provides the AAL is calculated as 1% of the relevant proportion of the required security deposit. The minimum ARF is $100 and the minimum AAL is $100.
-
The Department’s current process for invoicing the ARF and AAL is as follows: an invoice is generated and sent to the holder on the tenth day of the month following the grant anniversary day and is payable within 30 days of that date. Please note, the above dates are based on the Department’s current practices, which may be subject to change at any time.
OVERLAPPING TENEMENTS AND EXCLUSIONS
Overlapping Tenements
- The grant of concurrent Exploration Licences is not prohibited in circumstances where applications have been lodged in respect of different groups of minerals, as prescribed by Section 19 of the Mining Act.

Orange Minerals NL
Solicitors Report on Tenements
-
Under Section 19(b) an Exploration Licence will not be granted over any land the subject of a mining lease, assessment or minerals claim.
-
Searches were undertaken using spatial data from the Department’s MinView database to identify any overlying tenements within the area of the Tenements.
-
According to the MinView database EL 8323 overlaps with ML 1097 and ML 1235. Review of plans issued by the Department for EL 8323 indicates that the areas of ML 1097 and ML 1235 have been excluded from EL 8323.
-
According to the MinView database EL 8580 overlaps with ML 739. Review of plans issued by the Department for EL 8580 indicates that the area of ML 739 has been excluded from EL 8580.
-
No other overlapping tenure was identified in relation to any other Exploration Licences or Exploration Licence Applications the subject of this Report.
Exempted Areas
-
Section 30 of the Mining Act require the Minister’s consent to be granted prior to any prospecting on exempted areas covered by an Exploration Licence. An ‘exempted area’ is an area of land:
-
(a) reserved, dedicated, appropriated, resumed or acquired for public purposes (except land reserved for a temporary common or a commonage), whether vested in the Crown or in any person as trustee for public purposes, or
-
(b) held under a lease for water supply by virtue of a special lease or otherwise, or
-
(c) transferred, granted or vested in trust by the Crown for the purpose of a race-course, cricketground, recreation reserve, park or permanent common or for any other public purpose, or
(d) prescribed by the regulations for the purposes of this definition.
-
It is important to note that exempted areas are not excluded areas, as prospecting operations may still take place within exempted areas if Minister’s consent is obtained prior, pursuant to Section 30 of the Mining Act.
-
If activities are planned to be undertaken on land considered an exempted area, an access arrangement must be entered into with the controlling body of the land as prescribed by Section 140 of the Mining Act. Please also note that in order to obtain Minister’s consent prior to commencing prospecting operations on exempted areas, Native Title must be proved to be extinguished or Native Title processes, such as the Right to Negotiate, must be commenced in respect of the relevant land parcel.
-
Generally, most Crown Land, State Forests, Conservation areas and Travelling Stock Reserves would fall within the meaning of exempted area under the Mining Act. However, in order to confirm the extent and type of any Crown land, and whether the land same constitutes an exempted area, further information including Crown Plans and Gazette Notices would need to be obtained and reviewed in relation to each land parcel.
-
Undertaking such extensive searches into land tenure and specific exempted areas within land parcels is beyond the scope of this Report.
-
A review of the MinView data base identifies the following Tenements have State Forest, State conservation areas and Traveling Stock reserves within the tenement boundaries.

Exclusions
-
The conditions of IMER Exploration Licences grant the holder a right to conduct exploration activities over particular Units but may exclude certain areas within those Units.
-
Land vested in the Commonwealth of Australia, land subject to an authority or an application for an authority, land subject to a residence or business area, land subject to a National Park, Regional Park, Historic Site, Nature Reserve, Mining Reserve, Conservation Reserve or Aboriginal Land Council (that existed at date of grant) may be excluded under Schedule 1 of the Licence Instrument.
ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS
Activity Approvals
-
Pursuant to Section 23A of the Mining Act, an activity approval is required to be obtained prior to the carrying out of an assessable prospecting operation. All activities which fall outside of the meaning of ‘exempt development’ within Clause 10 of the State Environmental Planning Policy (Mining, Petroleum Production and Extractive Industries) 2007 (NSW) (“Mining SEPP”) are considered to be assessable prospecting operations which require additional activity approval.
-
There are no Activity Approvals recorded against the Exploration Licences in the TAS Register.
Environmental Protection Licences
- The NSW Environment Protection Authority (“EPA”) is the primary environmental regulator for NSW, operating with the objective to improve environmental performance and waste management. The EPA was established in 1991 under the Protection of the Environment Administration Act 1991
==> picture [85 x 24] intentionally omitted <==

Solicitors Report on Tenements
(NSW) (“POEA Act”), which allows the EPA to perform particular tasks in relation to the quality of the environment, environmental audit and reports on the state of the environment.
-
Under the POEA Act, the EPA may issue Environmental Protection Licences (“EPL”) to owners or operators of industrial premises. Licence conditions relate to pollution prevention and monitoring, and clean production through recycling and reuse. Holders of EPL’s must:
-
Comply with all licence conditions;
-
Develop, annually update and publicly display a Pollution Incident Response Management Plan (“PRIMP”); and
-
Publicly display any monitoring data, where this is required by the licence.
-
Searches of the EPA Authority database can be conducted in relation to Environmental Protection Licences, applications and penalty notices.
-
Please note there may be EPL’s issued in relation to or applied for land subject to the Exploration Licences, that may be approved for operations unrelated to the holders of these tenements.
-
A review of Environmental Protection Licences, applications and penalty notices is beyond the scope of this report.
Water Licences
-
The Water Management Act 2000 (NSW) (“Water Management Act”) and the Water Act 1912 (NSW) (“Water Act”) currently govern the management and regulation of Water Access Licences (“WAL”) and Water Use and/or Water Supply approvals (“Approvals”) in NSW.
-
The WAL Register has been operational since 1 July 2004, providing record of every WAL and related Approvals in NSW. WAL’s and Approvals are attached to specific land parcels, rather than the licence holder.
UNDERLYING LAND TYPES AND ACCESS
Land Access
-
It is necessary to enter into a written access arrangement with any landholders prior to entering or carrying out exploration on land which is owned or occupied (Section 140 Mining Act). Individual land parcels may have multiple landholders, as defined by Section 4 of the Mining Act, and may also have parts of the land excluded as roads or other Crown reserves. As such, review of the respective title plan for a land parcel is required to ascertain the exact boundaries of the land and any such exclusions, for the purposes of determining the relevant landholders with which an access arrangement is required.
-
Further, any landholder is entitled to compensation for compensable loss caused to any land by the exercise of rights conferred by the Exploration Licence (Section 263 Mining Act). In the event that an access arrangement or an agreement in relation to the amount of compensation payable cannot be reached with a landholder, the matter can be referred to arbitration, and if not resolved, to the Land and Environment Court for determination (Section 155 Mining Act).
-
If a change in ownership is anticipated, the access arrangements relevant to the exploration activities should be reviewed and consideration be given to the renewal of such agreements and/or whether an instrument assigning the agreements to the new party is required or permitted. Consideration should also be given to the establishment of entirely new agreements between the landholders and the new party.

- Pursuant to Section 31 of the Mining Act, it is necessary for the holder of an Exploration Licence to obtain prior written consent from the owner of any dwelling house which is the principal place of residence, garden or significant improvement situated on the surface of the land before carrying out any exploration within 200 metres of the dwelling house, and within 50 metres of the relevant garden or significant improvement. “Significant improvement” has been defined by the Mining Act as a work or structure that:
a) “Is a substantial and valuable improvement to the land, and
b) Is reasonably necessary for the operation of the landholder’s lawful business or use of the land, and
- c) Is fit for its purpose (immediately or with minimal repair), and
d) Cannot reasonably co-exist with the exercise of rights under the authorisation or the access arrangement without hindrance to the full and unencumbered operation or functionality of the work or structure, and
-
e) Cannot reasonably be relocated or substituted without material detriment to the landholder, and includes any work or structure prescribed by the regulations for the purposes of this definition but does not include any work or structure excluded from this definition by the regulations.”
-
Conducting prospecting activities without an access arrangement is a contravention of the Mining Act. If an access arrangement cannot be agreed during negotiation between a titleholder and a landholder, the Mining Act provides a mechanism by which the parties may enter into mediation followed by arbitration, which can add additional costs and delays to the completion of an exploration program.
-
The holder of the prospecting title may, through written notice to the landholder/s, request their agreement to the appointment of a mutually agreeable mediator or arbitrator to preside over the mediation. If appointment cannot be agreed upon, either party can apply for an assistance from a panel of arbitrators. If agreement is not reached at mediation, parties proceed to arbitration where the arbitrator will make a final determination. This determination may be appealed in the Land and Environment Court.
-
We have been provided with the access arrangement in place with Forest Corporation of New South Wales in relation to EL8554. Each permit entered into with Forestry NSW is unique to the requirements of the area in question. There are no unusual conditions set out in the agreement provided.
NATIVE TITLE
-
Exploration Licence applicants must comply with one of the following provisions in relation to native title:
-
a) Request a standard licence granted with the condition that the holder will not prospect on any land or waters on which native title has not been extinguished under the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) (“ NTA ”) without consent of the Minister administering the Mining Act;
-
b) Provide evidence that native title has been extinguished under the NTA;
-
c) Undertake the right to negotiate or an alternate process prescribed under the NTA; or
-
d) Apply for a low-impact licence.

These conditions require that the Licence Holder must not prospect in areas on which Native Title is claimable under the Commonwealth Native Title Act without prior written consent from the Minister.
-
Native Title may be proved to be extinguished on particular land parcels where evidence of extinguishment (for example, evidence of a previous exclusive possession act such as the grant of a freehold estate prior to 23 December 1996) is provided by the title holder to the Department in accordance with the Department’s Protocol for Evidencing Proof of Extinguishment of Native Title. This is generally in the form of a Native Title Extinguishment Report. In land parcels where it is unable to be proved that Native Title was extinguished in the past, Native Title is taken to be claimable and prior written consent from the Minister will be required.
-
Further, if Native Title has not been extinguished then it will (except in specific circumstances) be necessary to comply with Native Title processes before carrying out operations within that area of the Exploration Licence, prior to the Minister granting consent. For example, Crown land is a type of tenure over which Native Title is claimable unless it can be proven otherwise through evidence of extinguishment. If Native Title is unable to be proven extinguished in relation to Crown land, then Native Title processes are required to be followed. The presence of a registered Native Title Claim also means that it will be necessary to reach an agreement with the Native Title Claimants through Native Title processes, before obtaining Minister’s consent and proceeding with the relevant exploration activity.
-
The TAS Register records the following tenements have been subject to the Right to Negotiate (“ RTN ”) process with the Department. The TAS Register does not identify the extent of areas and whether the RTN was undertaken in relation to the whole tenement or part thereof.

An Aboriginal place is an area declared by the Minister administering the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 (NSW) (“ NPW Act ”) because the place is deemed to have special significance to Aboriginal culture. An Aboriginal object is any material evidence relating to Aboriginal habitation of an area. An Aboriginal place may or may not contain Aboriginal objects.
-
Aboriginal places and objects are registered on the Aboriginal Heritage Information Management System (“ AHIMS ”) maintained by the New South Wales Office of Environment and Heritage.

Solicitors Report on Tenements
-
AHIMS notes that some areas of New South Wales have not been investigated in detail and consequently, there may be fewer records of sites and objects in such areas. Aboriginal objects and sites are protected under the NPW Act irrespective of whether they are recorded on AHIMS.
-
Pursuant to Section 86(2) and (4) of the NPW Act, it is a strict liability offence to harm an Aboriginal object, or harm or desecrate an Aboriginal place. It is also an offence to harm or desecrate an Aboriginal object that the person knows is an Aboriginal object pursuant to Section 86(1) of the NPW Act. It may be necessary to apply for an Aboriginal Heritage Impact Permit if the activities contemplated in exercising rights under the Exploration Licenses are likely to cause damage to Aboriginal objects or places. The prohibitions contained in Section 86(1), (2) and (4) of the NPW Act apply whether or not the Aboriginal place or Aboriginal object has been registered on the AHIMS.
-
This office has undertaken basic searches of the AHIMS database to determine the existence of Aboriginal objects and sites in or near the area of the Exploration Licences. These basic searches give an indication of Aboriginal sites and Aboriginal places recorded in or near the areas. We recommend any targeted areas for exploration activities undertake a detailed AHIMS search be undertaken to ascertain most recent information and locations of Aboriginal Heritage.

Solicitor’s Report
25. In granting retention status, the Minister may impose a program of works or require the holder of
the relevant licence to apply for a mining lease.
26. The holder of a prospecting licence must:
(a) comply with standard and environmental conditions imposed by the Minister. The continued
good standing of a prospecting licence is subject to mineral prospecting being undertaken and
economic mineral discoveries being reported promptly to the Minister;
(b) pay annual rent; and
(c) unless exemptions are obtained, the holder must expend or cause to expend a minimum
amount of $2,000 per annum in connection with prospecting on the prospecting licence.
27. In the event that a prospecting licence has retention status, the expenditure conditions are reduced
pro rata during the year in which retention status is approved and no expenditure is required during
any subsequent year.
28. If these obligations are not met, the prospecting licence may be forfeited or a penalty may be
imposed.
29. There is no obligation on the holder of a prospecting licence to relinquish any portion of the
prospecting licence.
30. Prospecting licences are also subject to various other conditions imposed at grant or at any time
after grant. Those conditions include the standard conditions for the protection of the environment
and certain third party interests in land.
31. Schedule 1 details the rent and minimum expenditure commitments for each of the Tenements.
32. There is no restriction on the transfer or other dealings in respect of a granted prospecting licence.
However, applications for prospecting licences cannot be transferred.
33. The holder of a prospecting licence has, subject to the Mining Act, the right to apply for, and is
afforded priority to have granted, a mining lease or general purpose lease over the land the subject
of the prospecting licence prior to the expiration of the prospecting licence.
Exploration licences
34. The Tenement Searches indicate that, as at the date of this Report MIA is the sole registered holder
of E25/484, E25/579, E25/591, E26/218 and E28/2294 (the Exploration Licences ).
35. An exploration licence granted under the Mining Act empowers the holder to:

| (c) that the work carried out on the land justifies additional exploration. |
|
| 38. | The holder of an exploration licence must: |
| (a) pay annual rent; |
|
| (b) unless exemptions are obtained, expend a minimum amount in connection with exploration |
|
| on the exploration licence in excess of the prescribed annual expenditure commitment; and | |
| (c) if the exploration licence is granted in respect of more than 10 sub blocks, surrender 40% of |
|
| the number of blocks granted within six years after the date of grant. | |
| 39. | If these obligations are not met, the exploration licence may be forfeited or a penalty may be |
| imposed. | |
| 40. | Exploration licences are also subject to various other conditions imposed at grant or at any time after |
| grant. Those conditions include the standard conditions for the protection of the environment and | |
| certain third party interests in land. | |
| 41. | Schedule 1 details the rent and minimum expenditure commitments for each of the Tenements. |
| 42. | Once an exploration licence has been granted, it cannot be transferred during the first year of its |
| term without the tenement holder obtaining the consent of the relevant Minister. | |
| 43. | The holder of an exploration licence has, subject to the Mining Act, the right to apply for and to have |
| granted a mining or general purpose lease over the land the subject of the exploration licence. | |
| Mining Leases | |
| 44. | As at the date of this Report, MIA is the holder of M25/367 granted pursuant to the Mining Act (the |
| Mining Lease). | |
| 45. | On 17 August 2017, the High Court declared in_Forrest & Forrest Pty Ltd v Wilson_(2017) 346 ALR 833 |
| (Forrest & Forrest) that the requirement in section 74(1)(ca)(ii) of the Mining Act imposed a | |
| condition precedent to the valid exercise of the powers conferred on statutory officers and the | |
| Minister to progress an application for a mining lease to grant. Section 74(1)(ca)(ii) of the Mining Act | |
| states that an application for a mining lease must be lodged contemporaneously with a mining | |
| operations statement and mineralisation report. | |
| 46. | The result of this decision is that any current mining leases granted after section 74(1)(ca)(ii) of the |
| Mining Act came into force on 10 February 2006, the applications of which failed to strictly comply | |
| with s 74(1)(ca)(ii) of the Mining Act, could be declared to be invalid. | |
| 47. | The Mining Lease was applied for after 10 February 2006 and was recommended for grant by DMIRS |
| post the Forrest & Forrest decision. Following the Forrest & Forrest decision, we understand that | |
| DMIRS reviewed all pending applications for mining leases and applications that failed to comply | |
| with the requirement in section 74(1)(ca)(ii) of the Mining Act were determined null and void. As the | |
| Mining Lease was recommended for grant, there is no reason to believe that there is any non‐ | |
| compliance with the Mining Act in the application process. | |
| 48. | In any event, on 28 November 2018, the Mining Amendment (Procedures and Validation) Bill 2018 |
| (Bill) was introduced into the WA Legislative Assembly and read a second time by the Minister. That | |
| Bill seeks to confirm the validity of all mining tenement applications applied for prior to the | |
| commencement of the Bill if and when it comes into effect as an Act, provided that: | |
| (a) the prescribed application fee is paid by the required time; |

|---|---|
| (b) if the application is for the grant of a mining tenement in respect of private land or the |
|
| amendment of a mining tenement to include private land, the consent of the owner and | |
| occupier of the private land has been obtained where required under the Mining Act; and | |
| (c) the application has not been marked in the register as being invalid prior to the |
|
| commencement of the Act. | |
| 49. | The Bill subsequently lapsed on 28 November 2019, however it is intended to be reintroduced in |
| 2021. The proposed reintroduced bill will be substantially similar to the Bill with some minor | |
| amendments. As at the date of this Report, the Bill has not been passed into law. | |
| 50. | A mining lease granted pursuant to the Mining Act empowers the holder the exclusive right to find, |
| extract and dispose of any minerals on the land the subject of that mining lease, together with the | |
| right to do all acts and things necessary to effectively carry out mining operations. | |
| 51. | The holder owns all minerals lawfully mined on a mining lease, save for where a mining lease has not |
| been endorsed for iron ore mining or otherwise limited to specific minerals. | |
| 52. | The holder of a mining lease has exclusive rights to, and possession of, the land, with only |
| miscellaneous licences being able to coexist. | |
| 53. | A mining lease confers upon the holder the right to take water via sinking a well or bore or otherwise |
| diverting water from existing water courses. | |
| 54. | A mining lease holder is required to comply with rent and expenditure obligations, in addition to |
| statutory reporting requirements and compliance with environmental conditions or other specific | |
| conditions that may be imposed by the relevant Minister. Schedule 1 details the rent and minimum | |
| expenditure commitments for the Tenements. | |
| 55. | A mining lease remains in force for an initial period of 21 years from the date of grant. The holder |
| has an option to renew for another 21 years on expiry and further renewals are possible on | |
| application under the Mining Act. | |
| 56. | Where renewal is sought, the renewal application is required to be in the form, and accompanied by |
| the relevant documentation, stipulated by the_Mining Regulations 1981_(WA) (Regulations). A | |
| renewal application may be accepted even after the term has expired provided that the relevant | |
| Minister is satisfied that the applicant has substantially complied with the requirements of the | |
| Mining Act throughout the term. Where a renewal application has been lodged, the term of the | |
| mining lease continues until the application is determined. | |
| 57. | The holder of a mining lease must obtain the consent of the relevant Minister in order to assign or |
| mortgage a legal interest in the mining lease. Where a mining lease is transferred before a renewal | |
| application has been determined, the transferee is deemed to be the applicant. | |
| Tenement conditions and forfeiture | |
| 58. | Mining tenements in Western Australia are granted subject to various standard conditions |
| prescribed by the Mining Act and the Regulations including payment of annual rent, minimum | |
| expenditure requirements, reporting requirements and standard environmental conditions. Further, | |
| conditions may be imposed by the relevant Minister in respect of a particular mining tenement (such | |
| as restrictions on mining or access to certain reserves). | |
| 59. | The Tenements are subject to standard conditions. In addition to those standard conditions, the |
| Tenements are subject to: | |
| (a) certain conditions relating to the concurrence of a Tenement with Crown land which may limit |
|
| the ability of the Tenement holders to access, explore and exploit certain areas of the | |
| Tenements; and |

-
Solicitor’s Report (b) certain approvals (including mining proposals and notices of intent) approved under the terms of the Mining Act. Those key approvals (as set out in Schedule 2) are conditions of the relevant Tenement.
-
It is also a condition of all prospecting licences, exploration licences and mining leases that Forms 5 are lodged within 60 days after the anniversary of the commencement of term of that tenement.
-
The following Tenements have Forms 5 due before 30 November 2021 that, as the date of the Searches, have not been lodged ( Upcoming Forms 5 ):
| Tenement | Expended year end | Form 5 due on/before |
|---|---|---|
| P25/2341 | 06/09/2021 | 06/11/2021 |
| P25/2342 | 06/09/2021 | 06/11/2021 |
-
We are not aware of any reason as to why the Upcoming Forms 5 will not be filed on or before the relevant due date.
-
If a tenement holder fails to comply with the terms and conditions of a tenement (including the failure to lodge the Upcoming Forms 5 by the relevant due date), the Warden or the relevant Minister (as applicable) may impose a fine or order that the tenement be forfeited. In most cases an order for forfeiture can only be made where the breach is of sufficient gravity to justify forfeiture of the tenement. In certain cases, a third party can institute administrative proceedings under the Mining Act before the Warden seeks forfeiture of the tenement.
-
In the case of a failure to comply with the annual minimum expenditure requirements, the tenement holder can apply to DMIRS for an exemption.
-
It may also be the case that one or more of the Upcoming Forms 5 indicate that the annual minimum expenditure obligation for a relevant Tenement has not been complied with. If that is the case, we are not aware of any reason as to why an application for exemption would not be applied for on or before the due date.
-
If an exemption application is refused then it is open to the Warden or Minister (as applicable) to impose a fine or make an order for forfeiture.
-
A third party can object to an application for exemption from expenditure. None of the Tenements are currently the subject of a third party objection to an application for exemption from expenditure.
-
Other than as outlined above, the Tenement Searches that we have carried out in relation to the Tenements do not reveal any current outstanding failures to comply with the conditions in respect of each of the Tenements.
-
A significant number of the Tenements are part of the combined reporting group C49/2019. As a result, the Company will able to streamline its reporting obligations under the Mining Act. In addition, it is also entitled to seek exemptions from annual minimum expenditure obligations on a tenement forming part of C49/2019 on the basis that the aggregate exploration expenditure across all of the mining tenements that form part of C49/2019 would be enough to satisfy the expenditure requirements.

PART C ‐ CONCURRENT INTERESTS
Private land
- The following Tenements encroach upon private land. To the extent that the consent of each private land owner and occupier is required and has not been obtained, each Tenement may only be granted in respect of land below a depth of 30 metres underneath that private land:
Private Land Tenement Freehold Land Act – M25/367, 100.91 Ha, 50.93% (1 land parcel affected) Regional Western Australia ‐ (Landgate) P25/2410, 0.053 Ha, 0.04% (1 land parcel affected)
-
Under section 29 of the Mining Act, the written consent of the owner and occupier of private land must be obtained before a mining tenement in respect of the natural surfaces and to within a depth of 30 metres is granted over the following categories of private land:
-
(a) in bona fide and regular use as a yard, stockyard, garden, orchard, vineyard, plant nursery or plantation;
-
(b) under cultivation (as defined in broad terms under the Mining Act);
-
(c) the site of a cemetery, burial ground or reservoir;
-
(d) land on which there is erected a substantial improvement (as determined by the Warden);
-
(e) within 100 metres of any private land referred to above; or
-
(f) a separate parcel of land having an area of 2,000 square metres or less.
-
We have not conducted the necessary searches and investigations to confirm whether the freehold parcels of land affecting the Tenements noted above fall within these categories of private land.
-
It is not necessary to obtain the consent of the owner and occupier if the mining tenement is granted only in respect of that part of the private land which is not less than 30 metres below the lowest part of the natural surface. This is commonly referred to as the grant of “subsurface rights”. After the grant of a sub‐surface rights tenement, if the holder of the tenement subsequently obtains the consent of the private land owner and occupiers, the tenement holder may apply to the Minister for the mining tenement to be amended to include the surface areas.
-
The Searches do not indicate that the written consent of the owner and occupier of private land affecting the Tenements noted above have been obtained and accordingly, the Tenement holder may not have current rights to the top 30 metres of the relevant encroachment if the freehold land falls within the relevant categories of private land.
Co‐existing Concurrent Interests
-
Mining tenements under the Mining Act are exclusive only for the purposes for which they are granted, and are capable of co‐existing with:
-
(a) in the case of miscellaneous licences, with other mining tenements; and
-
(b) pastoral leases, Crown reserves, Crown land, public infrastructure and rights granted under other State and Federal legislation.

- The above encroachments suggest that there may be third party arrangements in place to regulate and deal with the third party encroachments. We have been provided with and reviewed a number of access agreements which regulate various encroachments, all of which are on industry standard terms.
Special Prospecting Licences

-
Upon grant, a special prospecting licence allows the holder to prospect for gold only. 81. If either of the special prospecting licences are granted, the relevant holders will have the rights to gold in that area over and above the primary tenement holder. Those rights will then revert back to the Tenement holder once the relevant special prospecting licence expires/is surrendered.
-
The key terms of a special prospecting licences are as follows: (a) maximum size : 10 hectares; (b) depth: the depth to which activities can be carried out will generally be 50 metres below the surface of the land (unless the Minister agrees a greater depth);
(c) term: the special prospecting licence can be for a period of 3 months or for any period which is a multiple of 3 months up to a maximum of 4 years. Once the special prospecting licence or mining lease for gold expires, the ground will revert to the underlying Tenement;
(d) extension/Renewal: the term cannot be extended or renewed; (e) conversion of special prospecting licence to mining lease: the holder of a special prospecting licence granted for a term of 4 years can apply for a mining lease for gold over the area of the special prospecting licence at any time during the term of the licence. The mining lease can be granted for up to the top 50 metres and that land will be excised from the underlying Tenement (whether or not the Tenement has in the meantime been converted into a retention licence or a mining lease);
(f) special prospecting licence continues regardless if underling primary Tenement is converted: the special prospecting licence will continue in force notwithstanding that the underlying Tenement is converted to a retention licence, mining lease or general purpose lease; and
(g) assignment: the special prospecting licence holder cannot transfer or assign their interest in the special prospecting licence or mining lease for gold without the consent of the Tenement holder.
-
The Tenement holder has lodged objections to the applications for the special prospecting licences. There is a risk that the applications for the special prospecting licences will be granted and that the holder will then subsequently make an application for (and be granted) a mining lease for gold in respect of the land. That would result in the excise of the areas from the relevant Tenements, and the Company would lose any rights in that relevant portion of the relevant Tenements.
-
We are advised that the Tenement holder is vigorously defending the applications for special purpose licences with a view that the applications will be refused.
Prospecting Licences
- Prospecting licence 25/2329 is second in time to two other prospecting licences:
| Tenement | Encroaching Tenement | Encroaching Area |

Crown land
General Provisions
- The land the subject of the Tenements overlaps Crown land as further detailed in this section of the Report. In addition, the following Tenements overlap other forms of Crown land, as set out in the table below:
| Crown land | Encroached Area (%) | Tenement |
|---|---|---|
| 98, Pastoral Lease Exclusion Area (2015), Special Category Land, Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage |

88. The Mining Act:
-
(a) prohibits the carrying out of prospecting, exploration or mining activities on Crown land that is less than 30 metres below the lowest part of the natural surface of the land and:
-
(i) for the time being under crop (or within 100 metres of that crop);
-
(ii) used as or situated within 100 metres of a yard, stockyard, garden, cultivated field, orchard vineyard, plantation, airstrip or airfield;
-
(iii) situated within 100 metres of any land that is an actual occupation and on which a house or other substantial building is erected;
-
(iv) the site of or situated within 100 metres of any cemetery or burial ground; or
-
(v) if the Crown land is a pastoral lease, the site of or situated within 400 metres of any water works, race, dam, well or bore not being an excavation previously made and used for purposes by a person other than the pastoral lessee,
-
without the written consent of the occupier, unless the Warden by order otherwise directs;
-
(b) imposes restrictions on a tenement holder passing over Crown land referred to in this paragraph 88, including:
-
(i) taking all necessary steps to notify the occupier of any intention to pass over the Crown land;
Page | 14
© Mining Access Legal
565
16. Independent Solicitor’s Report on WA Tenements continued
Solicitor’s Report
==> picture [23 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
- (ii) the sole purpose for passing over the Crown land must be to gain access to other land not covered by this paragraph 88 to carry out prospecting, exploration or mining activities;
- (iii) taking all necessary steps to prevent fire, damage to trees, damage to property or damage to livestock by the presence of dogs, the discharge of firearms, the use of vehicles or otherwise; and
- (iv) causing as little inconvenience as possible to the occupier by keeping the number of occasions of passing over the Crown land to a minimum and complying with any reasonable request by the occupier as to the manner of passage; and
-
(c) requires a tenement holder to compensate the occupier of Crown land:
- (i) by making good any damage to any improvements or livestock caused by passing over Crown land referred to in this paragraph 88 or otherwise compensate the occupier for any such damage not made good; and
-
(ii) in respect of land under cultivation, for any substantial loss of earnings suffered by the occupier caused by passing over Crown land referred to in this paragraph 88.
-
- The Warden may not give the order referred to above that dispenses with the requirement for the occupier’s consent in respect of Crown land. In respect of other areas of Crown land covered by the prohibition in paragraph 88(b), the Warden may not make such an order unless he is satisfied that the land is genuinely required for mining purposes and that compensation in accordance with the Mining Act for all loss or damage suffered or likely to be suffered by the occupier has been agreed between the occupier and the tenement holder or assessed by the Warden under the Mining Act.
-
The Company may need to enter into access and compensation agreements with the occupiers of the Crown land upon commencement of mining activities. We are not aware of any such agreements between the Company and such occupiers.
Class “C” Reserves
- The following Tenements overlap the R 18053 Water Catchment Area Class “C” Reserve as set out in the table below:
| C Class Reserves | Encroached Area (%) | Tenement |
|---|---|---|
| R 18053 “C” Class Reserve Water Catchment Area, reserve, Department of Water and Environmental Regulation |
77.55 Ha, 42.39% | P26/4410 |
| 174.54 Ha, 85.96% | P26/4411 | |
| 160.03 Ha, 86.4% | P26/4421 | |
| 46.90 Ha, 24.2% | P26/4422 |
-
Under the LAA, Crown land may be set aside by Ministerial order in the public interest. Every such reservation has its description and designated purpose registered on a Crown land title.
-
Once a Crown reserve is created, it is usually placed under the care, control and management of a State government department, local government or incorporated community group by way of a Management Order.
-
The Mining Act:
-
(a) prohibits mining (which by definition includes prospecting and exploration) on reserved land without the written consent of the Minister for Mines; and

566 ORANGE MINERALS NL Prospectus
==> picture [596 x 131] intentionally omitted <==
Solicitor’s Report
==> picture [24 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
-
(b) requires that before the Minister for Mines may give written consent to mining on reserved land, they must consult with, and obtain the consent of the responsible Minister and the local government, public body or trustees or other persons in which the control and management of such land is vested.
-
In practice, the proponent will be required to consult with the vesting authority before consent will be granted.
-
The Searches do not indicate that consent has been obtained to conduct activities on the areas of the Class C Reserve.
Pastoral and historical leases
- Certain Tenements overlap with pastoral, historical and general leases, as set out in the table below:
| Pastoral Lease | Encroached Area (%) | Tenement |
|---|---|---|
| PL N049710, Pastoral lease (C) Hampton Hill, Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage |

The Mining Act:
-
(a) prohibits the carrying out of mining activities on or near certain improvements and other features (such as livestock and crops) on Crown land (which includes pastoral, historical and general leases) without the consent of the lessee;
-
(b) imposes certain restrictions on a mining tenement holder passing through Crown land, including requiring that all necessary steps are taken to notify the occupier of any intention to pass over the Crown land and that all necessary steps are taken to prevent damage to improvements and livestock; and
-
(c) provides that the holder of a mining tenement must pay compensation to an occupier of Crown land (i.e. the lessee) in certain circumstances, in particular to make good any damage to improvements, and for any loss suffered by the occupier from that damage or for any substantial loss of earnings suffered by the occupier as a result of, or arising from, any exploration or mining activities, including the passing and re‐passing over any land.
-
We have been advised by the Company, and the Company has confirmed that to the best of its knowledge, it is not aware of any improvements and other features on the land the subject of the pastoral and historical leases which overlaps the Tenements which would require the Company to

obtain the consent of the occupier or lease holder or prevent the Company from undertaking its proposed mining activities on the Tenements.
-
Upon commencing mining operations on any of the Tenements, the Company may need to consider entering into a compensation and access agreement with the lease holders to ensure the requirements of the Mining Act are satisfied and to avoid any disputes arising. In the absence of an agreement, the Warden’s Court determines compensation payable.
-
DMIRS imposes standard conditions on mining tenements that overlay pastoral leases. Other than as detailed in Schedule 3, the Tenements incorporate the standard conditions.

The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Heritage Protection Act 1984 (Cth) ( Federal Heritage Act ) applies to the Tenements. The Federal Heritage Act seeks to preserve and protect significant Aboriginal areas and objects from desecration.
-
The Commonwealth Minister for Indigenous Affairs may make a declaration to preserve an Aboriginal area or site of significance. Such declarations may be permanent or interim and have the potential to interfere with mining or exploration activities. Failure to comply with a declaration is an offence under the Federal Heritage Act.
Western Australian legislation
-
The Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 (WA) ( Heritage Act ) applies to the Tenements as they are located in Western Australia. The Heritage Act makes it an offence, among other things, to alter or damage an Aboriginal site or object on or under an Aboriginal site.
-
An Aboriginal site is defined under the Heritage Act to include any sacred, ritual or ceremonial site which is of importance and special significance to persons of Aboriginal descent.
-
An Aboriginal site may be registered under the Heritage Act, but the Heritage Act preserves all Aboriginal sites whether or not they are registered. Tenement holders customarily consult with Aboriginal traditional owners of the tenement land and undertake Aboriginal heritage surveys to ascertain whether any Aboriginal sites exist and to avoid inadvertent disruption of these sites.

-
We note, however, that there may be unregistered or otherwise undiscovered Aboriginal heritage sites on the Tenements.
-
On the basis that Aboriginal heritage sites exist on the Tenements, in order to engage in any activity that may interfere with an Aboriginal site, the tenement holder must obtain the consent of the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs (WA) ( DAA Minister ) pursuant to section 18 of the Heritage Act. This requires submissions from the tenement holder to the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage on the proposed activities, the possible impact on the Aboriginal sites, any negotiations conducted with Aboriginal traditional owners of the lands and any measures that will be taken to minimise the interference.
-
We are not aware of any section 18 consents which have been requested or obtained for any of the other registered Aboriginal sites located on the Tenements.
-
The tenement holder must ensure that any interference with any Aboriginal sites that affect the Tenements strictly conforms to the provisions of the Heritage Act, including any conditions set down by the DAA Minister, as it is otherwise an offence to interfere with such sites.
PART E – NATIVE TITLE
Native Title Overview
-
On 3 June 1992, the High Court of Australia ( High Court ) held in Mabo v Queensland (No. 2) (1992) 175 CLR 1 ( Mabo Case ) that the common law of Australia recognises a form of native title.
-
The High Court held in the Mabo Case that native title rights to land will be recognised where:
-
(a) the persons making the claim can establish that they have a connection with the relevant land in the context of the application of traditional laws and customs, including demonstration of the existence of certain rights and privileges that attach to the land, in the period following colonialisation;
-
(b) these rights and privileges have been maintained continuously in the period following colonisation up until the time of the relevant claim; and
-
(c) the native title rights have not been lawfully extinguished, either by voluntary surrender to the Crown, death of the last survivor of the relevant community claiming native title or the grant of an interest by the Crown via legislation or executive actions that is otherwise inconsistent with the existence of native title (e.g. freehold or some leasehold interests in land).
-
Extinguishment will only be lawful if the extinguishment complies with the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 (Cth) ( Racial Discrimination Act ).
-
Lesser interests granted in respect of the relevant land will not extinguish existing native title unless the grant is inconsistent with the exercise of native title rights. Accordingly, unless otherwise

determined, native title rights will coexist with the relevant interest to the extent that the interest is not inconsistent.
-
In response to the Mabo Case the Commonwealth Parliament responded by passing the Native Title Act, which came into effect in January 1994.
-
As a statement of general principles, the Native Title Act:
-
(a) provides for recognition and protection of native title;
-
(b) provides a framework of specific procedures for determining claims for native title such as the “right to negotiate” which allows native title claimants to be consulted, and seek compensation, in relation to, amongst other things, mining operations;
-
(c) confirms the validity of titles granted by the Commonwealth Government prior to 1994, or “past acts”, which would otherwise be invalidated upon the basis of the existence of native title; and
-
(d) establishes ways in which titles or interests granted by the Commonwealth Government after 1994, or “future acts”, affecting native title (e.g. the granting of mining tenement applications and converting exploration licences and prospecting licences to mining leases and the grant of pastoral leases) may proceed and how native title rights are protected.
-
The Titles (Validation) and Native Title (Effect of Past Acts) Act 1995 (WA) was enacted by the Western Australia Parliament and adopts the Native Title Act in Western Australia.
-
The High Court decision in The State of Western Australia v Ward (2002) HCA 28 (8 August 2002) established that:
-
(a) native title has been completely extinguished as it relates to freehold land, public works or other previous acts granting exclusive possession and also including minerals and petroleum which are vested in the Crown; and
-
(b) native title is partially extinguished upon the basis of, amongst other things, pastoral and mining leases that grant non‐exclusive possession.

-
Mining tenements granted since the commencement of the Native Title Act on 1 January 1994 which affect native title rights and interests will be valid provided that the “future act” procedures set out below were followed by the relevant parties.
-
None of the granted Tenements were granted prior to 1 January 1994. 129. Mining tenements granted prior to 1 January 1994 have been validated pursuant to the implementation of validation processes set out in the Native Title Act.
-
As each of the Tenements granted following 1 January 1994, we have assumed that the relevant Native Title Act procedures were followed in relation to each Tenement for the purposes of this Report. We are not aware of any reason why these Tenements would be regarded as having not been validly granted.
-
The renewal or extension of the Tenements granted since 1 January 1994 which affect native title rights and interests will be valid provided that requirements of section 24IC of the Native Title Act are met. Key requirements of section 24IC of the Native Title Act include that the initial grant of the tenement was valid and that the extension or renewal of the tenement does not create a right of exclusive possession or otherwise confer a larger proprietary interest than the initial tenement.
Future tenement grants 132. The future act provisions under the Native Title Act will apply to: (a) the grant of the Tenements applied for, but not yet granted, at the date of this Report; (b) the conversion of any of the Tenements or any tenements acquired in the future into mining leases or general purpose leases; or
(c) the grant of any new tenement applications in the future.
-
The valid grant of any mining tenement which may affect native title requires compliance with the provisions of the Native Title Act in addition to compliance with the usual procedures under the relevant State or Territory mining legislation.
-
There are various procedural rights afforded to registered native title claimants and determined native title holders under the Native Title Act, with the key right being the “right to negotiate” process. This involves publishing or advertising a notice of the proposed grant of a tenement followed by a minimum six month period of negotiation between the tenement applicant and any relevant native title parties. If agreement is not reached to enable the grant to occur, the matter may be referred to arbitration before the NNTT, which has a further six months to reach a decision. A party to a determination of the NNTT may appeal that determination to the Federal Court on a question of law. Additionally, the decision of the NNTT may be reviewed by the relevant Commonwealth Minister.
-
The right to negotiate process can be displaced in cases where an ILUA is negotiated with the relevant native title claimants and registered with the NNTT in accordance with provisions of the Native Title Act. In such cases, the procedures prescribed by the ILUA must be followed to obtain the valid grant of the relevant mining tenement. These procedures will vary depending on the terms of the ILUA. Similarly, if any other type of agreement is reached between a mining company or other proponent and a native title group which allows for the grant of future tenements, the right to negotiate process will generally not have to be followed with that native title group (depending on the terms of the agreement) but the parties will be required to enter into a state deed pursuant to the Native Title Act which refers to the existence of that other agreement and confirms the relevant tenement/s can be granted. The right to negotiate process may still need to be followed with other native title groups in circumstances where other native title parties hold rights under the Native Title Act in the proposed tenement area.

-
An ILUA will generally contain provisions in respect of what activities may be conducted on the land the subject of the ILUA, and the compensation to be paid to the native title claimants for use of the land.
-
Once registered, an ILUA binds all parties, including all native title holders within the ILUA area. 138. We are not aware of any native title agreements or ILUAs that apply in respect of the Tenements. 139. The right to negotiate process is not required to be followed in respect of a proposed future act in instances where the “expedited procedure” under the Native Title Act applies.
-
The expedited procedure applies to a future act under the Native Title Act if: (a) the act is not likely to interfere directly with the carrying on of the community or social activities of the persons who are the holders of native title in relation to the land;
-
(b) the act is not likely to interfere with areas or sites of particular significance, in accordance with their traditions, to the persons who are holders of the native title in relation to the land; and
-
(c) the act is not likely to involve major disturbance to any land or waters concerned or create rights whose exercise is likely to involve major disturbance to any land.
-
- When the proposed future act is considered to be one that attracts the expedited procedure, persons have until three months after the notification date to take steps to become a native title party in relation to the relevant act (e.g. the proposed granting of an exploration licence).
-
The future act may be done unless, within four months after the notification day, a native title party lodges an objection with the NNTT against the inclusion of a statement that the proposed future act is an act attracting the expedited procedure.
-
If an objection to the relevant future act is not lodged within the four month period, the act may be done. If one or more native title parties object to the statement, the NNTT must determine whether the act is an act attracting the expedited procedure. If the NNTT determines that it is an act attracting the expedited procedure, the State or Territory may do the future act (i.e. grant a mining tenement).
Native Title Compensation
-
Determined native title holders may seek compensation under the Native Title Act for the impacts of acts affecting native title rights and interests after the commencement of the Racial Discrimination Act on 31 October 1975.
-
The State of Western Australia has passed liability for compensation for the impact of the grant of mining tenements under the Mining Act onto mining tenement holders pursuant to section 125A of the Mining Act. Outstanding compensation liability will lie with the current holder of the Tenements at the time of any award of compensation pursuant to section 125A of the Mining Act or, in the event there is no holder at that time, the immediate past holder of the relevant Tenement.
-
Compensation liability may be settled by agreement with native title holders, including through ILUAs (which have statutory force) and common law agreements (which do not have statutory force).
-
The Searches indicate that, at the time of this Report, no native title compensation claims have been lodged in relation to the impacts of future acts, including the grant of the Tenements, on native title rights and interests.
-
There is limited case law guidance on the likely quantum of compensation that might be awarded to any determined Native Title group in the event of a successful native title compensation claim. As

-
We note the following qualifications and assumptions in relation to this Report:

-
(c) we have assumed that all Searches conducted are true, accurate and complete as at the time the Searches were conducted;

-
(i) this Report does not cover any third party interests, including encumbrances, in relation to the Tenements that are not apparent from the Searches and/or the information provided to us;
-
(j) we have assumed that all instructions and information (including contracts), whether oral or written, provided to us by the Company, its officers, employees, agents or representatives is true, accurate and complete;
-
(k) unless apparent from the Searches or the information provided to us, we have assumed compliance with the requirements necessary to maintain a Tenement in good standing;

-
(q) various parties’ signatures on all agreements relating to the Tenements provided to us are authentic, and that the agreements are, and were when signed, within the capacity and powers of those who executed them. We assume that all of the agreements were validly authorised, executed and delivered by and are binding on the parties to them and comprise the entire agreements between the parties to each of them.
