2. Resolution 1 - Ratification of Prior Issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares Issued under Listing Rule 7.1
Background
On 4 February 2026, the Company announced that it had received firm commitments for a twotranche Placement of 312,500,000 new Shares in the Company, to sophisticated and institutional investors (including three Directors), at a price of $0.016 per Share to raise approximately $5 million (before costs).
A portion of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares, being 43,394,259 Tranche 1 Placement Shares, were issued within the Company’s 15% annual limit permitted under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the need for Shareholder approval. However, the Company is now seeking Shareholder approval and ratification for the prior issue of the 43,394,259 Tranche 1 Placement Shares pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4.
Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.
The issue of the 43,394,259 Tranche 1 Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions listed in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by the Company's Shareholders, it effectively uses up the 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1. This reduces the Company's capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the 43,394,259 Tranche 1 Placement Shares ( Issue Date ).
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of Equity Securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the Company's capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under that rule.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issue under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking ratification by Shareholders for the prior issue of the 43,394,259 Tranche 1 Placement Shares so that they do not reduce the Company's 15% limit in the next 12 months after the Issue Date, thereby providing the Company with greater flexibility in managing its future capital requirements.
Information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 1 is passed, the issue of the 43,394,259 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Issue Date.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the issue of the 43,394,259 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company's 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Issue Date.

3. Resolution 2 - Ratification of Prior Issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares Issued under Listing Rule 7.1A
Background
A summary of the Placement is set out in section 1 above.
A portion of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares, being 19,105,741 of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares, were issued within the Company’s additional 10% Placement Facility under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A which was approved by Shareholders at the 2025 Annual General Meeting.
Listing Rule 7.4
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.
Under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25% ( 10% Placement Facility ). The Company sought, and received approval, for this 10% Placement Facility at the 2025 Annual General Meeting.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of Equity Securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A and does not impact upon the Company's ability to issue further Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A in the 12 month period following the date of issue of the 19,105,741 Tranche 1 Placement Shares ( Issue Date ).
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issue under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Accordingly, the Company is seeking ratification by Shareholders for the prior issue of the 19,105,741 Tranche 1 Placement Shares so that they do not reduce the Company's 10% Placement Facility after the Issue Date, thereby providing the Company with greater flexibility in managing its future capital requirements.
Information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 2 is passed, the issue of the 19,105,741 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 10% Placement Facility under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the Issue Date.
If Resolution 2 is not passed, the issue of the 19,105,741 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company's 10% Placement Facility under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval for the 12-month period following the Issue Date.

Directors recommendation
The Directors recommend that Shareholders approve Resolution 2.
Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution and so requires the approval of more than 50% of the votes cast by Shareholders.
The Chair of the General Meeting intends to vote all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 2.
4. Resolution 3: Approval of issue of Tranche 2 Placement Shares under Listing Rule 7.1
Background
A summary of the Placement is set out in section 1 above.
Pursuant to the Placement, and subject to Shareholder approval, the Company intends to issue the Tranche 2 Placement Shares, being 237,500,000 Shares, to professional and sophisticated investors to raise a further $3.8 million (before costs).
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares detailed above.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.
The proposed issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares does not fall within any of the exceptions under ASX Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of the Company's Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 3 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares under and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Information required under ASX Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares detailed above. In addition, the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares detailed above will be excluded from the calculation of the number of Equity Securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares detailed above.

17
The Chair of the General Meeting intends to vote all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 3.
5. Resolutions 4, 5, and 6 – Approval of issue of Placement Shares to Directors Angus Middleton, Richard Willson and Duncan Gordon
Background
A summary of the Placement is set out in section 1 above.
The Placement included a commitment by Directors, Mr Angus Middleton, Mr Richard Willson and Mr Duncan Gordon, to participate in the capital raise on the same terms as all the other investors, subject to the Company obtaining Shareholder approval for the issue.
The issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares, being a total of 237,500,000 Shares, is the subject of Shareholder approval in Resolution 3.
Resolutions 4, 5 and 6 seek Shareholder approval for the Tranche 2 Placement Shares that are to be issued to Mr Angus Middleton, Mr Richard Willson and Duncan Gordon who are Related Parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors of the Company. The Company proposes to issue 6,250,000 Tranche 2 Placement Shares to Mr Angus Middleton and 3,125,000 Tranche 2 Placement Shares to each of Mr Richard Willson and Duncan Gordon (or their nominees) ( Placement Participation ).
Regulatory Considerations
ASX Listing Rule 10.11
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a director of the entity, an associate of the director, or a person whose relationship with the entity, director or associate of the director is, in ASX's opinion, such that approval should be obtained, unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.
As the Placement Participation involves the issue of Tranche 2 Placement Shares to Related Parties of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies.
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
-
(a) obtain the approval of the public company's members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit and each of Messrs Gordon, Middleton and Willson are a Related Party of the Company by virtue of being Directors.
As it is proposed that the Tranche 2 Placement Shares are to be issued to all three Directors, it may be considered that the Directors have been unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act or ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies to
18
these issues. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares to Messrs Middleton, Willson and Gordon in accordance with section 195(4) of the Corporations Act.
Section 195 of the Corporations Act
Section 195 of the Corporations Act essentially provides that a director of a public company may not vote or be present during meetings of directors when matters in which that director holds a “material personal interest” are being considered.
All three Directors have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 4,5 and 6 and as such, the Directors have not been able to form a quorum at a Directors meeting which is necessary to carry out the terms of those Resolutions. The Directors have accordingly exercised their right under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act to put Resolutions 4,5 and 6 to the Shareholders to resolve.
Information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 4 - 6 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares to those Related Parties of the Company. In addition, the issue of those Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be excluded from the calculation of the number of Equity Securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
If any of Resolutions 4 - 6 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of those Tranche 2 Placement Shares to those Related Parties.
Information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13 and Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
The following information in connection with the Placement Participation is provided to satisfy the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 10.13 (being the information required to be disclosed for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11) and Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

6. Resolutions 7, 8 and 9 – Approval of issue of Related Party Options to Directors Angus Middleton, Richard Willson and Duncan Gordon
Background
The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue a total of 20,000,000 unlisted Options ( Related Party Options ) to Mr Angus Middleton, Mr Richard Willson and Mr Duncan Gordon (or their nominees) ( Related Parties ) as part of their remuneration. The Board has formed the view that the proposed grant of Related Party Options provides a non-cash incentive to Directors that better aligns their interests with Shareholder interests.
Resolutions 7, 8 and 9 seek Shareholder approval for the Related Party Options that are to be issued to Mr Angus Middleton, Mr Richard Willson and Mr Duncan Gordon who are Related Parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors of the Company.
Regulatory Considerations
ASX Listing Rule 10.11
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a director of the entity, an associate of the director, or a person whose relationship with the entity, director or associate of the director is, in ASX's opinion, such that approval should be obtained, unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.
As the issue of Related Party Options is to Related Parties of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies.
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
-
(a) obtain the approval of the public company's members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The issue of the Related Party Options constitutes giving a financial benefit and each of Messrs Middleton, Willson and Gordon are a Related Party of the Company by virtue of being Directors.
As it is proposed that the Related Party Options are to be issued to all three Directors, it may be considered that the Directors have been unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act or ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies to these issues. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the issue of the Related Party Options to Messrs Middleton, Willson and Gordon in accordance with section 195(4) of the Corporations Act.
Section 195 of the Corporations Act
Section 195 of the Corporations Act essentially provides that a director of a public company may not vote or be present during meetings of directors when matters in which that director holds a “material personal interest” are being considered.
22
All three Directors have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 7, 8 and 9 and as such, the Directors have not been able to form a quorum at a Directors meeting which is necessary to carry out the terms of those Resolutions. The Directors have accordingly exercised their right under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act to put Resolutions 7, 8 and 9 to the Shareholders to resolve.
Information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 7 - 9 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Related Party Options to those Related Parties of the Company. In addition, the issue of those Related Party Options will be excluded from the calculation of the number of Equity Securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
If any of Resolutions 7 -9 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of those Related Party Options to those Related Parties.

Valuation of the financial benefit
The Related Party Options are being issued to Mr Angus Middleton, Mr Richard Willson and Mr Duncan Gordon as part of their remuneration to conserve cash for exploration and appraisal by remunerating partly in equity.
Mr Angus Middleton, Mr Richard Willson and Mr Duncan Gordon decline to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolutions 7, 8 and 9 respectively due to their material personal interest in the outcome of these Resolutions on the basis that they are each to be issued Related Party Options should Resolutions 7,8 and 9 be passed. Mr Angus Middleton has an interest in the outcome of Resolution 7 as he is the recipient of 6,000,000 Related Party Options. Mr Richard Willson has an interest in the outcome of Resolution 8 as he is the recipient of 6,000,000 Related Party Options. Mr Duncan Gordon has an interest in the outcome of Resolution 9 as he is the recipient of 8,000,000 Related Party Options.
A valuation using the Black-Scholes model has been prepared on a preliminary basis as at the date of this Notice. The actual value of the Related Party Options will however be determined on a similar basis as at the actual date of the grant.
The assumptions underlying the Black-Scholes model used in calculating the preliminary value of the Related Party Options were as follows:
-
a share price of A$0.017,
-
an annualised volatility estimate of 85%,
-
a risk-free rate of 3.7% p.a.,
-
dividend yield of 0%; and
-
time to expiry of 3 years.
On this basis, the preliminary fair value per Option is estimated at A$0.0062 , giving an aggregate valuation of:
-
A$37,200 for 6,000,000 Options; and
-
A$49,600 for 8,000,000 Options.

Recommendation of the Board and basis for financial benefit
The Board currently consists of Mr Duncan Gordon (Chairman), Mr Angus Middleton (Non-Executive Director) and Mr Richard Willson (Non-Executive Director). By Resolutions 7, 8 and 9, the Company is proposing to issue the Related Party Options to all the Directors.
The primary purpose of the grant of the Related Party Options to Mr Gordon, Mr Middleton and Mr Willson is to conserve cash for exploration and appraisal by remunerating partly in equity. The number of Related Party Options to be granted to each Related Party is a significant number, however, the Related Parties are high calibre executives with substantial experience in the mining industry and the grant of Related Party Options of this magnitude is considered by the Company to be reasonable in the circumstances.
Further reasons for giving this financial benefit include:
- (a) the Related Party Options are unquoted, therefore, the issue of the Related Party Options has no immediate dilutionary impact on Shareholders;
25
-
(b) the grant of the Related Party Options to the Related Parties will align the interests of the Related Parties with those of Shareholders;
-
(c) the grant of the Related Party Options is considered by the Company to be a reasonable and appropriate method to reward employees and contractors without using its cash reserves and provides a better alternative than using cash forms of remuneration; and
-
(d) because of the deferred taxation benefit which is available to the Related Parties in respect of an issue of Related Party Options. This is also beneficial to the Company as it means the Related Parties are not required to immediately sell the Related Party Options to fund a tax liability (as would be the case in an issue of Shares where the tax liability arises upon issue of the Shares) and will instead, continue to hold an interest in the Company.
Each of the Directors has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 7, 8 and 9 and in accordance with ASIC Regulatory Guide 76, each Director considers that it is not appropriate for them to make a recommendation in relation to the remuneration of another Director. Accordingly, all Directors decline to make any recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolutions 7, 8 and 9.
Resolutions 7, 8 and 9 are ordinary resolutions and so requires the approval of more than 50% of the votes cast by Shareholders.
The Chair of the General Meeting intends to vote all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 7, 8 and 9.
7. Resolution 10 – Approval of issue of Broker Options
Background
The Company intends to issue a total of 20,000,000 unlisted Options to Taylor Collison Limited exercisable at $0.04 per Option on or before the date which is 3 years from the date of issue ( Advisor Options ).
The Advisor Options are to be issued in consideration for the work completed by Taylor Collison Limited in connection with the Placement.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.
The proposed issue of the Advisor Options does not fall within any of the exceptions under ASX Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of the Company's Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 10 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Advisor Options under and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 10 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Broker Options. In addition, the issue of the Broker Options will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 10 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Broker Options.

The Board recommends that Shareholders approve Resolution 10.
Resolution 10 is an ordinary resolution and so requires the approval of more than 50% of the votes cast by Shareholders.
The Chair of the General Meeting intends to vote all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 10.
8. Resolution 11 – Approval of issue of Options to Technical Committee members and Company Secretary (aggregate pool)
Background
Resolution 11 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of up to 12,000,000 unquoted Options to eligible recipients comprising members of the Company’s Technical Committee and the Company Secretary (each an Eligible Recipient ), or their respective nominees ( Staff Options ).
The Board considers it appropriate to provide equity-based incentives to key technical personnel and consultants who contribute to the Company’s exploration, development and corporate activities. The proposed Staff Options are intended to:
-
align the interests of Eligible Recipients with Shareholders;
-
incentivise performance; and
-
preserve the Company’s cash resources by providing non-cash incentives.
The Staff Options are not intended to remunerate any Director of the Company.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.
The proposed issue of the Staff Options does not fall within any of the exceptions under ASX Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of the Company's Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 11 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Staff Options under and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Schedule 1 – Terms and Conditions of Related Party, Advisor and Staff Options
Entitlement
Each New Option gives the Optionholder the right to subscribe for one Share.
To obtain the right afforded by each Option, the Optionholder must exercise the relevant Options in accordance with the terms and conditions attaching to the Options.
Subject to variation in the share capital of the Company, the amount payable by the Optionholder on the exercise of each option shall be $0.04 ( Exercise Price ).
Exercise
The Options will expire on the date which is 3 years from the date of issue ( Option Expiry Date ), unless exercised earlier pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Options. Any Option not exercised before the Option Expiry Date will automatically lapse on the Option Expiry Date.
The Options shall be exercisable at any time on or prior to the Option Expiry Date by the Optionholder providing a notice in writing to the Company and payment of the Exercise Price in cleared funds ( Exercise Notice ). Within 10 business days of receipt of the Exercise Notice, the Company will:
-
(a) allot and issue such number of Shares in the Company as required by the terms and conditions with reference to the number of Options specified in the Exercise Notice;
-
(b) if required, provide the ASX with a notice that complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act or, if the Company is unable to issue such a notice or such notice is not effective, lodge with ASIC a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act and do all things necessary to ensure that an offer for sale of Shares does not require disclosure to investors pursuant to section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act.
Rank equally
Shares issued on the exercise of the Options will rank equally with the Shares on issue at the time of the exercise.
If the Company is admitted to the official list of the ASX on the date of the exercise of the Options, application will be made by the Company to the ASX for official quotation of the Shares that result from the exercise of the relevant Options.
Rights attaching to Options
If at any time the issued capital of the Company is reconstructed, the number of Options and the Exercise Price will be adjusted accordingly, in a manner that the auditors of the Company advise is fair and reasonable in their option, and in all cases in accordance with the provisions of the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act. Other than for such an adjustment, an Option does not confer the right to a change in Exercise Price or a change in the number of underlying securities over which the Option is capable of exercise.
There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Options, and Optionholders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to shareholders by virtue of the Options. The Company will notify all Optionholders that hold Options capable of exercise prior to the relevant qualifying date for the new issue of capital no less than 10 business days prior to the closing date of that offer, so as to enable those Optionholders to exercise some or all of their Options such that they may
30
then participate in the relevant issue of capital.
Options not Quoted
The Options will not be quoted on the ASX.
Compliance with Listing Rules
If, and to the extent, any of the preceding terms and conditions in respect of the Options are inconsistent with the Listing Rules, the Listing Rules will prevail in all respects to the extent of the inconsistency.
