EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

1. RESOLUTION 1 – CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

Section 157(1)(a) of the Corporations Act provides that a company may change its name if the company passes a special resolution adopting a new name.

Resolution 1 seeks the approval of Shareholders for the Company to change its name to "Arizona Lithium Limited".

The proposed name has been reserved by the Company with ASIC and if Resolution 1 is passed, the Company will lodge a copy of the special resolution with ASIC following the Meeting in order to effect the change.

If Resolution 1 is passed the change of name will take effect when ASIC alters the details of the Company's registration.

2. RESOLUTIONS 2 AND 3 – APPROVAL FOR AN EQUAL REDUCTION OF CAPITAL AND IN-SPECIE DISTRIBUTION AND DISPOSAL OF A MAJOR ASSET

2.1 Background on the Company and its existing projects

The Company is listed on the ASX and is a globally focused lithium and gold explorer with an office based in Perth. The Company's flagship project is the Big Sandy Lithium Project (Big Sandy Lithium Project) where the Company is progressing metallurgical testing of the lithium mineralisation to produce a battery grade lithium product. This is the Company's primary asset and focus of the Company where it continues to pursue the development of an economic processing route.

The Big Sandy Lithium Project is located in Arizona, USA. In 2019, the Company completed a maiden drilling program that resulted in an indicated and inferred resource of 321,000 tonnes of LCE over only 4% of the landholding. The Big Sandy Lithium Project is a world class lithium project in size of potential resource and the Company is aggressively advancing the processing studies with plans to commence a PFS in early 2022.

The success of the Big Sandy Lithium Project has overshadowed the significant potential and value that the Directors believe is in the Company's gold -copper projects (Gold-Copper Projects). The Projects consist of:

  • (a) the Devil's Canyon Gold-Copper Project located in the Carlin Gold trend in Nevada consisting of 90 BLM claims,
  • (b) the Western Desert Gold-Copper Project consisting of 218 claims and 3 state leases located in Western Utah near the Nevada border; and
  • (c) the Lone Pine Gold Project located approximately 10km west of Salmon, Idaho and which consists of 2 patented claims surrounded by a further 272 BLM lode claims.

Further details regarding the Gold-Copper Projects are set out in the Independent Technical Assessment Report in Schedule 10 .

Further details regarding the Big Sandy Lithium Project are set out in the Company's ASX announcements including the Quarterly Activities Report released on 30 July 2021.

The full schedule of the Company's interests in mining tenements as the date of this Notice is set out in Schedule 5 which includes an Independent Limited Title Report on Mining Tenements in Schedule 11.

2.2 Overview of the Proposal

As announced, the Company is proposing, subject to shareholder approval, to demerge its Gold – Copper Projects via a separate Australian incorporated entity, Diablo (Spin-out). It is intended that Diablo will undertake an initial public offer of its securities to facilitate an ASX listing in conjunction with the Spin out (Diablo IPO). It is Diablo's current intention that the Diablo IPO will include a form of priority offer to existing Shareholders of HWK, whilst also providing an opportunity for new investors to invest in Diablo.

The Spin-out is proposed to comprise of the following steps:

  • (a) Prior to the date of this Notice of Meeting, Diablo will be incorporated as a shell entity;
  • (b) the Company will divest and sell its interest in the Gold-Copper Projects to Diablo in return for receiving 40,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in Diablo (Diablo Shares); and
  • (c) In accordance with the timetable set out in the Important Notices section above, HWK will distribute and transfer the Diablo Shares in- specie to Eligible HWK Shareholders on a pro-rata basis (In-specie Distribution).

The In- specie Distribution will be effected by an equal reduction of HWK capital. Eligible HWK Shareholders will receive an in-specie return of capital by way of the distribution of the Diablo Shares in proportion to the number of HWK Shares held by them at the Record Date. Eligible HWK Shareholders will thereby receive a direct ownership interest in Diablo whilst still maintaining their ownership interest in HWK.

Subject to satisfaction of the In-specie Conditions set out in Section 2.3 below, the Gold-Copper Projects will be de-merged from HWK following completion of the In-specie Distribution.

Upon listing, Diablo will hold 100% of the rights, title and interest in the Gold-Copper Projects as further detailed in the Independent Technical Assessment Report in Schedule 10 .

Structure diagrams of the proposed arrangements immediately before and after the Spin-out and Diablo IPO are set out in Section 2.5 of this Explanatory Statement.

2.3 Conditions to the Proposal

The In-specie Distribution will only proceed if the following conditions are met (together, the In-specie Conditions):

  • (a) HWK obtains Shareholder approval for the change of its company name (the subject of Resolution 1), the In-specie Distribution (the subject to Resolution 2) and the Disposal of its Gold-Copper Projects (Resolution 3);
  • (b) Diablo raises the minimum subscription amount of \$6,500,000 (or such other amount as is required for Diablo to satisfy the assets test pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 1.3) pursuant to a prospectus to be lodged by Diablo for the Diablo IPO; and
  • (c) Diablo receiving a letter confirming that the ASX will admit Diablo to the Official List of the ASX, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions on terms acceptable to Diablo.

2.4 Rationale for the Proposal

The Company's primary purpose in undertaking the Proposal is to separate the Big Sandy Lithium Project from its other assets. Specifically, the Proposal is being undertaken to achieve the following commercial objectives:

  • (a) the Spin-out allows the Company to focus its efforts its Big Sandy Lithium Project, including obtaining development funding for the Big Sandy Lithium Project;
  • (b) the Spin-out of the Gold-Copper Projects will continue to give the Company's shareholders the opportunity to participate in the growth of the Gold-Copper Projects through a separate entity that will have sufficient resources to further develop the assets;
  • (c) the Spin-out will provide separate funding channels for Diablo and the Gold-Copper Projects (including the Diablo IPO), thereby allowing the Company to conserve its cash resources; and
  • (d) the Company considers the Gold-Copper Projects to be non-core to its strategic objectives. The Board considers that the value of the Gold-Copper Projects is not recognised in HWK's share price due to the current interest in battery minerals entities and believes there is presently an opportunity to separate the Gold-Copper Projects into a standalone company with specific commodity and management focus with a new managing director. The Board believes that this will allow for a better focus on the advancement of the Gold-Copper Projects and should enable a more transparent market value to be placed on the Gold-Copper Projects, whilst the Company continues to develop its flagship Big Sandy Lithium Project.

Assuming the Company proceeds with the Proposal, it is intended that Diablo will undertake and be funded by the Diablo IPO. Please refer to Section 2.7 for details.

2.5 Corporate structure

In the event Resolutions 1, 2 and 3 are passed, the Company proceeds with the Proposal and the In-specie Conditions are satisfied, the restructure of HWK and Diablo will occur as follows assuming completion of the In-specie Distribution:

Current group structure:

Refer to Schedule 8.

Structure post completion of the In-specie Distribution, Diablo IPO and Acquisition:

Refer to Schedule 9.

2.6 Diablo IPO and Information on Diablo

Diablo's business will be created, initially, via the acquisition of the Gold-Copper Projects (Acquisition). Upon listing on the ASX, Diablo will also look to pursue other opportunities in the resources sector that will add value for Shareholders.

As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, Diablo has entered into an agreement to acquire the entities which hold the legal and beneficial title to the tenements which comprise the Gold-Copper Projects (Share Sale Agreement). Refer to Schedule 4 for a summary of the Share Sale Agreement.

As noted above, it is intended that, in conjunction with the Proposal, Diablo will undertake the Diablo IPO. Current HWK Shareholders will not be required to contribute additional funds to give effect to the Diablo IPO. It is, however, Diablo's current intention that the Diablo IPO will include a form of priority offer to existing HWK Shareholders, and this offer will also include an offer to HWK Shareholders who would otherwise hold a parcel of Diablo Shares worth less than \$2,000 (at a deemed issue price of \$0.20 per share) following the In-specie Distribution, to enable them to "top-up" their existing holding to a parcel of Diablo Shares worth \$2,000 on listing.

At present, it is expected that Diablo will seek to raise up to \$6,500,000 under the Diablo IPO (by the issue of up to 32,500,000 Diablo Shares assuming an issue price of \$0.20 per Share) pursuant to a prospectus to be lodged with ASIC as soon as practicable. Shareholders should note the proposed structure and terms of the Diablo IPO are, at the date of this Notice, indicative only and that Diablo reserves the right to amend the proposed structure and terms (including offering a larger or smaller number of shares in Diablo). The Company will keep Shareholders updated in respect of the Diablo IPO.

HWK will be responsible for meeting all required tenement expenditure on the Gold-Copper Projects until completion of the Diablo IPO, at which time Diablo will assume responsibility for all costs associated with the Gold-Copper Projects.

HWK has also agreed to fund Diablo's expenses in respect of the Proposal and the Diablo IPO (e.g. legal and other fees incurred in the preparation of documentation giving effect to the Diablo IPO) which will be repaid to HWK from the proceeds of the Diablo IPO.

The Diablo Board will then seek to advance the Gold-Copper Projects in the manner in which it considers to be in the best interests of Diablo Shareholders at the relevant time and based on its ability to fund those intentions. However, the Company notes and confirms, that there is no guarantee that the Company will proceed with the Spin-out, or the In-specie Distribution or that the Diablo IPO will be successful and result in a listing on ASX.

In the short term, Diablo would be focused on exploration activities at the Gold-Copper Projects. Over the medium term, Diablo would be focused on delivering value to its shareholders through the continued exploration and development of the Gold-Copper Projects and any additional assets that may be acquired at a future point in time. Further details will be included in the Diablo IPO prospectus which will be circulated to all HWK Shareholders.

The Diablo IPO will ensure Diablo is financed to continue (or commence) exploration activities on the Gold-Copper Projects aimed at the continued exploration and discovery of a maiden JORC resource at the Gold-Copper

Projects. Please refer to the Independent Technical Assessment Report in Schedule 10 for further details about the Gold-Copper Projects and to Section 2.7 below for the proposed work programme and expenditure budget for each project.

The information contained in this Section in respect of the potential future prospects of Diablo should be read together with the risk factors set out in Schedule 3.

2.7 Background on "fair value", the Diablo Projects and proposed Project Development Plan

ITAR

A summary of each of the Gold-Copper Projects including information on prospectivity is set out in the Independent Technical Assessment Report in Schedule 10 .

Assessment of Fair Value

The Independent Technical Assessment Report is not a valuation, and the value at which the Gold-Copper Projects are being transferred to Diablo is the consideration being paid by Diablo, which has been set by the Board as 40,000,000 Diablo Shares. The ultimate value will be determined by whether Diablo is able to raise the proposed \$6.5 million however the estimate of the current market value of 40,000,000 Diablo Shares if the raise is successful is therefore \$8 million based on the capital raising price of 20 cents per Diablo Share.

The Board has considered the following relevant matters as the reasonable basis for their assessment of the fair value:

  • (a) Hawkstone has expended approximately \$3 million in exploration and other expenditure on the Gold-Copper Projects (including as part of the initial acquisition) and as these are exploration assets, Hawkstone has not earned any revenue from these assets;
  • (b) the exploration work completed to date on the Gold-Copper Projects has been encouraging and there is significant potential upside given the stage of exploration. The Gold-Copper Projects are close to drill ready and good drilling results may result in a re-rating of the value but this work needs to be completed and funding raised to do so. It is considered that this is best done within a separate listed structure in order to raise the funds and unlock this value;
  • (c) the consideration that Diablo is likely to pay to acquire projects of this nature and current stage of exploration if it was dealing with an arm's length third party is likely to be similar, and possibly higher as a third party vendor may require further performance upside in the nature of performance shares or a royalty based on future production; and
  • (d) the Company has had numerous discussions with its corporate advisor, PAC Partners, as to a valuation that the market would ascribe to the Gold-Copper Projects. In conjunction with its advisers, based on current market parameters, this is the value that was considered to be fair.

It is considered by the Board that the ultimate assessment of value will be determined by the market, and the success or otherwise of the public offer.

Business Model

Diablo's proposed business model will be to further explore and develop deposits located within the Gold-Copper Projects (where possible) in proximity to established mining operations and infrastructure which demonstrate the ability to be developed into early production opportunities.

Diablo proposes to undertake exploration across the Gold-Copper Projects as outlined below with the intention of demonstrating the economic potential of any potential deposits. Diablo also intends to evaluate and pursue other prospective opportunities in the resources sector in line with its strategy to develop high quality assets. Details of the plans for each project are set out below.

(e) Devil's Canyon Gold-Copper Project

The Devil's Canyon Gold-Copper Project is located approximately 50km north of Eureka and 100km south of Elko, Nevada, USA, and consists of 90 BLM claims covering 6.56km2. The project lies within the Carlin Trend in Nevada (produced in excess of 195 million ounces of gold) and is 20km west of the Bald Mountain Gold Mine of Kinross Gold and 40km north of the Ruby Hill Gold Mine of Barrick Gold Corporation.

The project is underlain by a sequence of Palaeozoic sediments intruded by a multi-phase granite. Photogeological interpretation has identified 7 Targets related to NE, NW and northerly trending faults and shear zones in and on the perimeter of the granite. Airborne UAV magnetics has further highlighted these targets and subsequent phases of rock chip sampling has identified 2 gold-copper and 2 copper mineralised zones closely related to the structural targets, in particular coincident Target 1 and Zone Au1 that lie along a NE trending structure forming the northern contact of the intrusive with limestone.1

1 HWK ASX Announcement dated 21 February 2021 – "Spectacular Grades from Devils Canyon Project".

The Company plans to complete detailed surface mapping and grid based soil sampling over the Devils Canyon Project in conjunction with modelling of geophysical data prior to initial drilling. Drilling is planned for the 2021 field season.

(f) Western Desert Gold-Copper Project

The Western Desert Gold-Copper Project (WD) consists of 258 BLM lode mining claims and 3 State Leases covering 28.65km2 located in western Utah near to the Nevada Border. The project is located within the Basin & Range Province of the Western USA. It lies within the same sequence of Cambro-Ordovician carbonate and sedimentary rocks that host the Carlin Trend gold deposits 200km to the west and the Long Canyon Gold Mine (Newmont 2.95M oz Au) 50km to the west.

Previous exploration has consisted of minor shafts, adits and dozer scrapes.

The stratigraphy and structure of the geology on the project is similar to the host rocks of the Carlin trend gold deposits. A wedge of Carboniferous sediments and carbonate units in the west is thrust over pre-Carboniferous (Cambrian to Devonian) units to the east. In the Carlin Trend the mineralisation is hosted within the overlying carbonate units along or near the thrust faults.

Exploration has consisted of photogeological interpretation, targeting, mapping, rock chip, stream sediment sampling and ground magnetics and gravity surveys. The photogeological interpretation identified 11 geological and structural targets. This was followed by stream sediment sampling in conjunction with rock chip sampling across the higher ranked targets identifying 4 areas of stream sediment anomalism. The main core of the project area containing targets A1, A2, A3 and A6 were covered by ground magnetics and gravity surveys.2 This data is presently being processed and modelled.

It is planned to drill the resulting targets in the second half of 2021.

(g) Lone Pine Gold Project

The Lone Pine Project comprises two Patented Mining Claims and a further 268 BLM lode claims covering an area of approximately 21.85 km2 ten kilometres west of Salmon, Lemhi County, Idaho.

The Lone Pine Project contains precious metal occurrences spatially and genetically related to the Eocene age Trans-Challis Fault System a major zone of rifting and crustal extension. The mineralised quartz-filled structure/shear hosting the Lone Pine vein zone is associated with a steeply dipping, NE striking contact between granitoid and sediments.

During 2020, 11 diamond drill holes LPDD01 to LPDD11 totalling 677.55m were completed along the Lone Pine vein zone with all holes intersecting the zone. Best result was 0.31m @ 65.60 g/t Au.3

In addition, the Company completed regional mapping and rock chip sampling identifying numerous other gold occurrences within the project area.

Drill planning at King Solomon and Lone Pine is progressing and airborne UAV magnetics are planned during Q2.

Assuming completion of the Diablo IPO, it is currently proposed that the initial exploration program for the Gold-Copper Projects will include a total of approximately \$6.5M budgeted for the first two financial years as set out in the table below:

The above table are statements of Diablo's intentions as of the date of this Notice and assumes completion of the Diablo IPO. As with any budget, intervening events including, but not limited to, exploration success or failure and new circumstances have the potential to affect the manner in which the funds are ultimately applied. Diablo reserves the right to alter the way funds are applied on this basis. Further, the above table will be subject to change in the event Diablo amends the proposed structure and terms of the Diablo IPO.

Further details of the plan and budget proposed for each of the Gold-Copper Projects will be included in the Diablo IPO prospectus. Refer to Schedule 10 for details about the claims which comprise the Gold-Copper Projects and previous exploration undertaken. The key risks which will face Diablo and exploration of the Gold-Copper Projects are set out in Schedule 3.

The balance of the proceeds raised from the Diablo IPO are proposed to be applied as follows:

  • (i) expenses of the Diablo IPO \$706,000; and
  • (ii) working capital \$1,100,000.

2.8 Capital Reduction – General

The Company seeks Shareholder approval under Resolution 2 to enable HWK to reduce its capital by the distribution of specific assets to Shareholders, being 40,000,000 Diablo Shares.

The Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules set out the procedure and timing for a capital reduction. Refer to the Important Notices section of this Notice of Meeting for an indicative timetable in respect of the Proposal. The alteration to the Company's capital and the In-specie Distribution will become effective from the Record Date provided that after the Record Date has been set, the Directors have not provided a notice to ASX stating that the Company does not intend to proceed with the reduction of capital contemplated by Resolution 2.

Assuming that the In-specie Conditions are met and that the Company proceeds with the Proposal, the Record Date to determine entitlements of Shareholders to participate in the In-specie Distribution is 22 September 2021.

If the capital reduction proceeds, Eligible HWK Shareholders will receive a pro rata entitlement to 40,000,000 Diablo Shares and each Eligible HWK Shareholder's name will be entered on the register of members of Diablo with each Eligible HWK Shareholder having deemed to have consented to becoming a Diablo shareholder and being bound by its constitution.

An Eligible HWK Shareholder's entitlement to Diablo Shares to be distributed is to be based on the number of HWK Shares held at the Record Date.

Due to the outstanding Options on issue in HWK and also because of the potential future issue of Shares by the Company before the Record Date, it is not clear at the date of this Notice how many HWK Shares will be on issue at the Record Date nor therefore what the exact ratio for the In-specie Distribution will be. However, based on the HWK Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meeting, the ratio of the In-specie Distribution would be 2.44 Diablo Shares for every 100 HWK Shares held.

Other than as shareholders of HWK or as otherwise set out in this Explanatory Statement (the grant of Performance Rights set out in Resolutions 4 to 6), none of the Directors have any interest in Resolution 2.

For further details with respect to the effect of this Resolution 2, including the implications for Ineligible HWK Shareholders, please refer to Section 2.22 below.

2.9 Pro forma financial position of HWK and Diablo upon completion of the Proposal and Diablo IPO

Set out in Schedule 1 is the statement of financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2020 together with the unaudited pro forma statement of financial position of the Company following completion of the Proposal and Diablo IPO.

A pro forma statement of financial position for Diablo, reflecting the proposed balance sheet of Diablo following completion of the Proposal and the Diablo IPO is set out in Schedule 2.

2.10 Advantages and Disadvantages of the Proposal (assuming completion of the Spin-out and In-specie Distribution):

(a) Advantages

  • (i) All Eligible HWK Shareholders will retain an interest in the Gold-Copper Projects through their individual pro-rata shareholdings in Diablo.
  • (ii) All Shareholders will retain their current percentage ownership interest in the capital of HWK.
  • (iii) The Directors believe that the market is attributing minimal value to the Gold-Copper Projects. The Board believe that a company primarily dedicated to exploring and developing the Gold-Copper Projects (together with other gold assets) may be able to extract additional value from the projects.
  • (iv) The Spin-out and subsequent Diablo IPO should allow for a better focus on the advancement of the Gold-Copper Projects and should enable a more transparent market value to be placed on the Gold-Copper Projects, whilst the Company continues to develop its flagship Big Sandy Lithium Project. The Spin-out from HWK will mean that both HWK and Diablo will have a primary focus that will not be affected by events or occurrences relating to other projects.
  • (v) The Board believes that investors and the Company would benefit from the Company having a simplified corporate strategy. Different HWK Shareholders (and potential investors) have preferences for different assets within HWK's asset portfolio, however the current corporate structure with its diversified commodity interests does not allow for delivery of a simplified corporate strategy. The Proposal will allow both HWK and Diablo to adopt a simplified corporate strategy.
  • (vi) On the basis that the Proposal proceeds and the Spin-out is completed, HWK will be spending approximately \$1.1 million less on exploration costs without the Gold-Copper Projects. The Boards intention is to use these funds on drilling and pilot plant design and construction to progress exploration and development of the Big Sandy Lithium Project to a feasibility study stage.

  • (vii) Future capital raisings are expected to be more achievable by each individual entity as the focus of the funding will be on either specifically, HWK's Big Sandy Lithium Project or the Gold-Copper Projects held by Diablo.

  • (viii) The Spin-out will provide Shareholders with the ability to participate in the exploration upside of the Gold-Copper Projects under a separate company with separate financing capabilities whilst also maintaining their investment exposure to HWK's advanced Big Sandy Lithium Project.

(b) Disadvantages

  • (i) There is no guarantee that the Diablo Shares will rise in value.
  • (ii) There are a number of potential disadvantages arising from Diablo seeking further funding (including pursuant to the Diablo IPO). These include, but are not limited to:
  • (A) dilution of Diablo Shareholders' shareholdings via the Diablo IPO or future equity raisings; and
  • (B) uncertainty regarding Diablo's ability to raise required funding.
  • (iii) Shareholders may incur additional transaction costs if they wish to dispose of their new investment in Diablo (e.g. brokerage costs).
  • (iv) There may be a taxation consequence in respect of the distribution of the Diablo Shares to the Shareholders. Details of the possible general taxation effect of the transaction are set out in Section 2.24 of this Explanatory Statement.
  • (v) The costs relating to Diablo and the Proposal (some of which will initially be incurred by HWK) will include, but are not limited to:
  • (A) legal and other fees incurred in the preparation of documentation giving effect to the Proposal and the Diablo IPO; and
  • (B) tax advice obtained in relation to taxation consequences of the Proposal.
  • (vi) Remuneration will not be paid to Diablo's directors until the Diablo IPO has been completed. Following receipt of Shareholder approval and completion of the Proposal and the Diablo IPO, the Diablo Board may be different to that of Diablo's present Board and also different to that of the Company's present Board. Following implementation of the Proposal and completion of the Diablo IPO, Diablo will assume responsibility for the remuneration of the Diablo Board and will be responsible for all of its own exploration, management and administration expenses (including directors' remuneration).
  • (vii) As a result of the return of capital, HWK may forego a percentage of the premium it might have received from a

person seeking to acquire a controlling stake in Diablo and its Gold-Copper Projects.

(viii) Assuming completion of the Spin-out, there will be two separate companies that will require to be funded and will incur ongoing administrative costs (being HWK and Diablo) rather than one company as is the case at present (being HWK). This will lead to a duplication of costs to Shareholders in some instances (e.g. directors' fees).

2.11 Failure to achieve completion of the Proposal

Failure to achieve completion of the Proposal may result in a reduced level of exploration expenditure on the Gold-Copper Projects by the Company, or exploration may occur on a delayed timetable. The Company has prioritised its projects and the Gold-Copper Projects are currently considered non-core and of less priority than the Company's flagship Big Sandy Lithium Project.

In the event that the Proposal is not successful, the Company may explore alternative methods of funding exploration on the Gold-Copper Projects although a successful outcome cannot be guaranteed. This may include, but is not limited to, entering into a joint venture arrangement with third parties or selling a portion of the Gold-Copper Projects.

After considering all relevant factors, the Directors recommend the Company's Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 2 and 3 for the reasons summarised in Sections 2.4 and 2.10 of this Notice.

2.17 Effect of Proposed Capital Reduction on Shareholders in HWK

What will you receive?

If the Proposal is implemented, Eligible HWK Shareholders will receive an in specie return of capital by way of the distribution of Diablo Shares in proportion to the number of HWK Shares held by them at the Record Date.

Eligible HWK Shareholders are not required to contribute any payment for the Diablo Shares which they are entitled to receive under the Proposal.

What is the impact on your shareholding in the Company?

The number of Shares in the Company that you hold will not change as a result of the Proposal.

If the Proposal is implemented, the value of your HWK Shares may be less than the value held prior to the Proposal being implemented due to the removal of the Gold-Copper Projects from the Company's asset portfolio. The size of any decrease cannot be predicted and will be dependent on the value ascribed to the Gold-Copper Projects.

Do you have to do anything to receive your Diablo Shares?

You must hold HWK Shares on the Record Date in order to receive your entitlement of Diablo Shares pursuant to the In-specie Distribution. If the Proposal proceeds, you will automatically receive the Diablo Shares you are entitled to receive (unless you are an Ineligible HWK Shareholder, in which case you will receive the proceeds), even if you vote against the Proposal or do not vote at all.

Will I be able to trade my Diablo Shares?

If the Proposal is approved by Shareholders and is implemented and assuming completion of the Diablo IPO, a holder of Diablo Shares will be able to sell their Diablo Shares in the future.

What are the taxation implications of the Proposal?

A general guide to the taxation implications of the Proposal is set out in Section 2.24 of this Explanatory Statement. The description is expressed in terms of the Proposal and is not intended to provide taxation advice in respect of particular circumstances of any Shareholder. Shareholders should obtain professional advice as to the taxation consequences of the Proposal in their specific circumstances.

What will happen if Resolution 2 is not approved?

In the event that Shareholder approval of Resolution 2 is not obtained, the Proposal will not proceed and the distribution of Diablo Shares to HWK Shareholders will not occur.

2.18 Additional important information for HWK Shareholders

(b) The proposed capital structure of Diablo post completion of the Proposal and the Diablo IPO will be:

Type of security Number (assuming
\$6,500,000 is raised
under the Diablo IPO)
%
Fully paid ordinary shares
Eligible HWK Shareholders 40,000,000 53.7

Lead Manager Shares2 2,000,000 2.7
Total Shares 74,500,000 100
Founder Performance Rights3 7,400,000

Notes:

    1. As at the date of this Notice, it is expected that Diablo will seek to raise up to \$6,500,000 (by the issue of up to 32,500,000 shares at \$0.20 each). Diablo's current intention is that the Diablo IPO will include a priority offer to HWK Shareholders. Shareholders should note the proposed structure and terms of the Diablo IPO are, at the date of this Notice, indicative only and that Diablo reserves the right to amend the proposed structure and terms (including offering a larger or smaller number of shares in Diablo).
    1. 2,000,000 Shares are proposed to be issue to PAC Partners at an issue price of \$0.20 per Share.
    1. 7,400,000 Performance Rights are proposed to be issued to Diablo Directors Paul Lloyd (3,000,000), Greg Smith (2,300,000), and Barnaby Egerton-Warburton (2,100,000). Refer to Schedule 6 for terms and conditions of the Performance Rights.

Shareholders should note that the capital structure outlined above is indicative only and that Diablo has the discretion to amend the capital structure without notice.

  • (c) The Record Date will be set by the Directors after the date Resolution 2 is passed and depends on the satisfaction of the In-specie Conditions. Refer to Section 2.3 for further details.
  • (d) 40,000,000 Diablo Shares will be distributed on a pro-rata basis to Eligible HWK Shareholders on the Record Date based on the number of HWK Shares held by such holders at the Record Date. Due to the outstanding Options on issue in HWK and also because of the potential future issue of Shares by the Company before the Record Date, it is not clear at the date of this Notice how many HWK Shares will be on issue at the Record Date nor therefore what the exact ratio for the In-specie Distribution will be.

At the date of this Notice, there are 1,656,034,601 Shares on issue in the Company. Assuming this same number of Shares was on issue at the Record Date, the formula for the In-specie Distribution would be approximately 2.41 Diablo Shares for every 100 HWK Shares held. Any exercise of Options in HWK or further issue of HWK Shares will have the effect of lowering the number of Diablo Shares distributed for each Share in HWK. Any fractions of entitlement will be rounded down to the next whole number.

  • (e) The return of capital will be effected by a pro-rata distribution of the Diablo Shares in specie proportionately to all of the Company's Shareholders:
  • (i) registered as such as at 5:00 pm (WST) on the Record Date; or
  • (ii) entitled to be registered as a Shareholder in the Company by virtue of a transfer of Shares executed before 5:00 pm (WST) on the Record Date and lodged with the Company at that time.

2.19 Information concerning HWK Shares

The rights attaching to the Shares in HWK will not alter.

For the information of Shareholders, the highest and lowest recorded sale prices of the Company's Shares as traded on ASX during the 12 months immediately preceding the date of this Explanatory Statement, and the respective dates of those sales were:

Date Highest Price Date Lowest Price
29 January 2021 \$0.064 11 December 2020 \$0.009

The latest available closing price of the HWK Shares on ASX prior to the date of this Notice was \$0.029 on 3 August 2021.

2.20 Section 256C of the Corporations Act

  • (a) The proposed reduction of capital by way of an in-specie distribution to Shareholders is an equal capital reduction.
  • (b) Under section 256B of the Corporations Act, the Company may only reduce its capital if it:
  • (i) is fair and reasonable to Shareholders as a whole;
  • (ii) does not materially prejudice the Company's ability to pay its creditors; and
  • (iii) is approved by Shareholders in accordance with section 256C of the Corporations Act.
  • (c) The Directors believe that the Proposal is fair and reasonable to Shareholders as a whole and does not materially prejudice the Company's ability to pay its creditors. This is because each HWK Shareholder is treated equally and in the same manner since the terms of the reduction of capital are the same for each HWK Shareholder. The Inspecie Distribution is on a pro rata basis, and the proportionate ownership interest of each HWK Shareholder remains the same before and after the Proposal.

  • (d) In accordance with the Corporations Act:

  • (i) the proposed reduction is an equal reduction and requires approval by an ordinary resolution passed at a general meeting of HWK Shareholders;
  • (ii) this Explanatory Statement and accompanying Prospectus and previous ASX announcements set out all information known to HWK that is material to the decision on how to vote on Resolution 2; and
  • (iii) HWK has lodged with ASIC a copy of this Notice of Meeting and accompanying Prospectus.

2.21 ASX Listing Rule 7.17

ASX Listing Rule 7.17 provides in part that a listed entity, in offering shareholders an entitlement to securities in another entity, must offer those securities pro rata or in such other way as, in the ASX's opinion, is fair in all the circumstances.

In addition, the record date to decide entitlements must be at least 4 business days after the prospectus for the offer is given to ASX.

There also must be no restriction on the number of securities which a shareholder holds before this entitlement accrues.

The proposal satisfies the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.17, as the issue of Diablo Shares is being made to Shareholders on a pro rata basis, the Record Date will be set on at least 4 business days after the prospectus for the offer is given to ASX and there is no restriction on the number of Shares a Shareholder must hold before the entitlement to the HWK Shares accrues.

2.22 ASX Listing Rule 11.4

ASX Listing Rule 11.4 provides that an entity must not dispose of a major asset if, at the time of the disposal, it is aware that the person acquiring the asset intends to issue or offer securities with a view to becoming listed. ASX Listing Rule 11.4 further provides that an entity must do each of the following if one of its child entities holds the major asset:

  • (a) It must not sell securities in the child entity with a view to the child entity becoming listed.
  • (b) It must make sure that the child entity does not issue securities with a view to becoming listed.

ASX Listing Rule 11.4 does not apply if the holders of ordinary securities in the entity approve of the disposal without a pro rata offer of securities being made to the holders of the ordinary securities in the entity.

As the Spin-out involves the Company selling its interest in the Gold-Copper Projects to Diablo who will undertake the Diablo IPO with a view to becoming listed, the Company must obtain shareholder approval for the disposal of the Gold-Copper Projects to Diablo.

2.23 Effect of Shareholder approval

(a) General

If Resolution 2 is approved, HWK Shareholders (as at the Record Date) will receive a pro rata beneficial entitlement to Diablo Shares based on the number of HWK Shares held at the Record Date. The reduction in HWK's capital and the transfer and distribution of Diablo Shares will become effective from the Record Date (provided that after the Record Date has been set the In-specie Conditions have been satisfied and the Directors have not provided a notice to ASX stating that the Company does not intend to proceed with the reduction of capital contemplated by Resolution 2). Any fractions of entitlement will be rounded down to the next whole number. Shares in Diablo are to be held subject to its constitution which is in standard form for an ASX listed entity.

The actual dollar value of the proposed return of capital will be an amount equal to the value of the Diablo Shares transferred and distributed to be assessed by the Directors. Please refer to Schedules 1 and 2 for the pro-forma statements of financial position of both HWK and Diablo which show the expected financial impact of the Proposal and Diablo IPO.

The Board considers the proposed reduction of capital will have no material effect on the interests of HWK Shareholders, except as disclosed in the discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of the reduction set out in Section 2.10 above.

(b) Ineligible HWK Shareholders

Shareholders on the In-specie Distribution Record Date with an address outside an Eligible Country or who will hold a parcel of Diablo shares worth less than \$500 at listing (based on the Diablo IPO price and taking into account any allocation to existing HWK shareholders under the Diablo IPO) (together, Ineligible HWK Shareholders) will have their pro-rata entitlement of Diablo Shares sold by the Company's sale nominee, PAC Partners Securities Pty Ltd (Nominee), and the net proceeds paid to the Ineligible HWK Shareholders, with the timing of the sale to coincide with Diablo successfully completing the Diablo IPO, being admitted to ASX and a market for Diablo Shares being established on ASX.

The Nominee will act on a best efforts only basis to sell the Ineligible HWK Shareholders' Diablo Shares, and will not be liable to the Ineligible HWK Shareholders for any loss suffered as a result.

The release, publication or distribution of the Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum in jurisdictions other than Australia may be restricted by law or regulation in such other jurisdictions, and persons outside of Australia who come into possession of the Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum should seek advice on and observe any such restrictions. Any failure to comply with such restrictions may constitute a violation of applicable laws or regulations.

The Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum have been prepared in accordance with Australian law and are subject to Australian disclosure requirements. The information contained in the Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum may not be the same as that which would have been disclosed if the Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum had been prepared in accordance with the laws and regulations of a jurisdiction outside of Australia.

Financial information in this Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared in accordance with the classification and measurement principles of the Australian Accounting Standards and is presented in an abbreviated form and does not contain all the disclosures that are usually provided in an annual report prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act.

This document does not constitute an offer of Diablo Shares in any jurisdiction in which it would be unlawful. In particular, this document may not be distributed to any person, and the Diablo Shares may not be offered, in any country outside Australia except to the extent permitted below.

New Zealand

This Notice of Meeting is not a New Zealand disclosure document and has not been registered, filed with or approved by any New Zealand regulatory authority under or in accordance with the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 or any other New Zealand law. The offer of Shares under the In-specie Distribution is being made to existing shareholders of the Company in reliance upon the Financial Markets Conduct (Incidental Offers) Exemption Notice 2016 and, accordingly, this Notice of Meeting may not contain all the information that a disclosure document is required to contain under New Zealand law.

(c) Effect of In-specie Distribution on existing Options

In accordance with the terms of issue of each of the existing Options in HWK outstanding as at the date Resolution 2 is passed and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.22.3, the exercise price of each such outstanding Option in HWK will be automatically reduced by the same amount as the amount returned in relation to each HWK Share. There will be no early lapsing of any existing HWK Options for any HWK employee or director who holds such Options and who becomes employed by Diablo in lieu of HWK.

2.24 Information concerning Diablo Shares

A summary of the more significant rights that will attach to the Diablo Shares is set out below. This summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of the Diablo Shareholders. Full details of the rights attaching to the Diablo Shares are set out in Diablo's Constitution, a copy of which is available on request.

(a) General meetings

Shareholders are entitled to be present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative to attend and vote at general meetings of Diablo.

Shareholders may requisition meetings in accordance with section 249D of the Corporations Act and the Constitution.

(b) Voting rights

Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of Shares, at general meetings of Shareholders or classes of Shareholders:

  • (i) each Shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy, attorney or representative;
  • (ii) on a show of hands, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder has one vote; and
  • (iii) on a poll, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder shall, in respect of each fully paid Share held by him, or in respect of which he is appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote for the Share, but in respect of partly paid Shares shall have such number of votes as bears the same proportion to the total of such Shares registered in the Shareholder's name as the amount paid (not credited) bears to the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited). Amounts paid in advance of a call are ignored when calculation the proportion.

(c) Dividend rights

Subject to the rights of any preference Shareholders and to the rights of the holders of any shares created or raised under any special arrangement as to dividend, the Directors may from time to time declare a dividend to be paid to the Shareholders entitled to the dividend which shall be payable on all Shares according to the proportion that the amount paid or credited as paid is of the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited) in respect of such Shares.

The Directors may from time to time pay to the Shareholders any interim dividends as they believe to be justified subject to the requirements of the Corporations Act. No dividend shall carry interest as against Diablo. The Directors may set aside out of the profits of Diablo any amounts that they may determine as reserves, to be applied at the discretion of the Directors, for any purpose for which the profits of Diablo may be properly applied.

Subject to the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, Diablo may, by resolution of the Directors, implement on such terms and conditions as the Directors think fit, (a) a dividend reinvestment plan which provides for any dividend which the Directors may declare from time to time payable on Shares which are participating Shares in the dividend reinvestment plan, less any amount which Diablo shall either pursuant to the Constitution or any law be entitled or obliged to retain, be applied by Diablo to the payment of the subscription price of Shares and (b) a dividend election plan permitting holders of Shares to the extent that the Shares are fully paid, to have the option to elect to forego the right to share in any dividends (whether interim or otherwise) payable in respect of such Shares and to receive instead an issue of Shares credited as fully paid up to the extent as determined by the Directors.

(d) Winding-up

If Diablo is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of Diablo, divide among the shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the property of Diablo, and may for that purpose set such value as he considers fair upon any property to be so divided, and may determine how the division is to be carried out as between the Shareholders or different classes of Shareholders.

The liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of Diablo, vest the whole or any part of any such property in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator thinks fit, but so that no Shareholder is compelled to accept any Shares or other securities in respect of which there is any liability.

(e) Shareholder liability

As the Shares under the Prospectus are fully paid shares, they are not subject to any calls for money by the Directors and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.

(f) Transfer of Shares

Generally, Shares are freely transferable, subject to formal requirements, the registration of the transfer not resulting in a contravention of or failure to observe the provisions of a law of Australia and the transfer not being in breach of the Corporations Act or the ASX Listing Rules.

(g) Variation of rights

Pursuant to section 246B of the Corporations Act, Diablo may, with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a meeting of Shareholders vary or abrogate the rights attaching to Shares.

If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of Shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class), whether or not Diablo is being wound up, may be varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of three-quarters of the issued shares of that class, or if authorised by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.

(h) Alteration of Constitution

The Constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters of Shareholders present and voting at the general meeting. In addition, at least 28 days written notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be given.

2.25 Taxation

The following is a general summary of the Australian taxation consequences for Shareholders who receive Diablo Shares in respect of the In-specie Distribution based on the applicable taxation law as at the date of this Explanatory Statement.

The information outlined in this taxation summary is limited solely to the Australian income tax implications of the demerger for Shareholders who hold their shares in HWK on capital account for tax purposes, and not on revenue account. This summary does not provide information relevant to:

  • (a) Shareholders who hold their HWK Shares on revenue account (for example, Shareholders who are share traders and certain institutional investors);
  • (b) Shareholders whose HWK Shares are subject to the employee share acquisition scheme tax rules and Shareholders who are not the beneficial owners of their HWK Shares;
  • (c) Shareholders who acquired, or are taken to have acquired, their HWK Shares prior to 20 September 1985; and
  • (d) Shareholders who are subject to the taxation of financial arrangements rules in Division 230 of the ITAA 1997 in relation to gains and losses on their HWK Shares.

The application of tax legislation can vary according to the individual circumstances of each Shareholder. This summary is not intended, and should not be relied upon, as specific taxation advice to any particular Shareholder. The comments in this summary are of a general nature only, may not apply to your specific circumstances and cannot be relied upon for accuracy or completeness.

Each Shareholder should seek and rely on its own professional taxation advice, specific to its particular circumstances, in relation to the taxation consequences of the proposed transaction. Neither HWK, nor any of its officers or advisers, accepts liability or responsibility with respect to such consequences or the reliance of any Shareholder on any part of the following summary.

Australian taxation implications for Australian resident Shareholders

The demerger tax relief under Division 125 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) (Demerger Relief) is not available in respect of the In-specie Distribution for a number of reasons including, that the In-specie Distribution, the Diablo IPO and Acquisition are inter-conditional and therefore do not satisfy the "nothing else" requirements in paragraph 125-70(1)(c) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth). Accordingly, the Shareholders of HWK will not be able to disregard any capital gain or assessable income arising from the In-specie Distribution.

Broadly, if HWK proceeds with the In-specie Distribution in the absence of Demerger Relief, the following taxation consequences may result:

  • (a) Shareholders may make a capital gain to the extent that the capital component of the In-specie Distribution exceeds the particular Shareholder's cost base;
  • (b) the cost base and reduced cost base of the HWK Shares will be reduced by the Capital Reduction Amount (unless the Commissioner of Taxation makes a determination to treat all or part of the Capital Reduction Amount as an unfranked dividend);
  • (c) the cost base and reduced cost base of the Diablo Shares will be equal to the Capital Reduction Amount Distribution;
  • (d) the Diablo Shares will be taken to have been acquired by the Shareholder at the date of the In-specie Distribution for the purposes of determining eligibility for the CGT discount; and

(e) the excess (if any) of the market value of the Diablo Shares at the time of the In-specie Distribution over the Capital Reduction Amount, and (if the Commissioner of Taxation so determines) all or part of the Capital Reduction Amount, may be treated as an unfranked dividend. This amount would be assessable income for Australian resident Shareholders.

Australian taxation implications for non-resident Shareholders

Shareholders who are not residents of Australia for tax purposes will not be subject to any Australian CGT consequences unless they hold (either alone or together with their associates) 10% or more of the direct participation interests in HWK at the time of the demerger or for a continuous period of at least 12 months in the 24 months immediately preceding the In-specie Distribution. In the event that the non-resident Shareholder satisfies the 10% ownership requirement, Australian CGT will apply if at the time of the CGT event the market value of the assets in HWK that are Taxable Australian Real Property (TARP) exceed the market value of the assets that are not TARP. TARP generally includes Australian land interests including Australian mineral rights.

To the extent that a non-resident Shareholder holds HWK Shares that meet the above conditions, the Shareholder may make a capital gain to the extent that the capital component of the In-specie Distribution (to be advised by HWK once the In-specie Distribution is complete) exceeds the Shareholder's cost base.

If the Commissioner of Taxation determines all or part of the Capital Reduction Amount as an unfranked dividend, this amount would be subject to dividend withholding tax for non-resident Shareholders (generally at a rate of 30% on the gross amount, subject to any applicable double taxation agreement).

Taxation implications for the Company

The transfer of shares in Diablo from HWK to the HWK Shareholders in respect of the share capital reduction is expected to have capital gains tax (CGT) implications for HWK as Demerger Relief is not available.

2.26 Lodgement with the ASIC

The Company has lodged with the ASIC a copy of this Notice and Explanatory Statement in accordance with section 256C(5) of the Corporations Act. The ASIC and its officers take no responsibility for the contents of this Notice or the merits of the transaction to which this Notice relates.

If Resolution 2 is passed, the reduction of capital is required to take effect in accordance with a timetable approved by ASX. Please refer to the Important Notices section at the front of this Notice for the proposed indicative timetable for completion of the Proposal, which is subject to change by the Company and any requirements of the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act.

2.27 Competent Person's Statement

The Company has prepared the meeting materials based on information available to it at the time of preparation. No representation or warranty, express or implied, is made as to the fairness, accuracy or completeness of the information, opinions and conclusions contained in the meeting materials. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company, its related bodies corporate (as that term is defined in the Corporations Act) and the officers, directors, employees, advisers and agents of those entities do not accept any responsibility or liability including, without limitation, any liability arising from fault or negligence on the part of any person, for any loss arising from the use of the meeting materials or its contents or otherwise arising in connection with it.

In respect of the Gold-Copper Projects, exploration results detailed in this document have previously been reported to the ASX between February 2020 and December 2020.

The information in Section 2.7 of this Notice that relates to the Diablo Projects and proposed exploration program is based on information compiled by Mr Greg Smith who is a Member of The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr Smith is a Director and shareholder of the Company. Mr Smith has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. Mr Smith consents to the inclusion in this Explanatory Memorandum of the matters that are based on, and fairly represent information and supporting documentation prepared by him in the form and context in which it appears.

The information in the Independent Technical Assessment Report (ITAR) in Schedule 10 of this Notice that relates to the geology, exploration data and exploration potential of the Diablo Projects is based on information compiled by Mr Jason Froud who is a Member of the Australian Institute of Geologists. Mr Froud has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. Mr Froud consents to the inclusion of the ITAR in this Notice of the matters that are based on, and fairly represent information and supporting documentation prepared by him in the form and context in which it appears.

Additionally, Mr Smith, Mr Froud and the Company each confirm that they are not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information contained in the ASX releases referred to in this report.

2.28 Recommendation of the Board

Your Directors unanimously recommend the approval of the proposed Resolution 2 and Resolution 3 and encourage Shareholders to vote IN FAVOUR OF Resolution 2 and Resolution 3.

In forming their unanimous recommendation in respect of Resolution 2 and Resolution 3, the Directors have carefully considered the following matters:

  • (a) Shareholders will continue to retain their current percentage ownership interest in the capital of the Company.
  • (b) The Spin-out should allow for a better focus on the advancement of the Gold-Copper Projects and should enable a more transparent market value to be placed on the Gold-Copper Projects, whilst the Company continues to develop its flagship Big Sandy Lithium Project.
  • (c) Future capital raising (including the proposed Diablo IPO) should be more achievable by each individual entity.
  • (d) The Spin-out will provide Shareholders with the ability to participate in the exploration upside of the Gold-Copper Projects under a separate

company with separate financing capabilities whilst also maintaining their investment exposure to the Company and the Big Sandy Lithium Project.

The Directors have also considered the following potential disadvantages:

  • (a) Shareholders will incur additional transaction costs.
  • (b) There may be taxation implications in respect of the distribution of the Diablo Shares to the Shareholders.
  • (c) There will be costs associated with Diablo, for example, ongoing administrative costs and costs associated with seeking funding for Diablo (including the proposed Diablo IPO).
  • (d) The interests of Shareholders in Diablo will be diluted by the issue of Diablo Shares under the proposed Diablo IPO.
  • (e) Assuming completion of the Spin-out, there will be two separate companies that will require funding and will incur costs (being HWK and Diablo) rather than one company as is the case at present (being HWK). This will lead to a duplication of costs to Shareholders in some instances (e.g. directors' fees).
  • (f) Due to the outstanding Options on issue in HWK and also because of the potential future issue of Shares by the Company before the Record Date, it is not clear at the date of this Notice how many HWK Shares will be on issue at the Record Date nor therefore what the exact ratio for the Inspecie Distribution will be. Any exercise of Options in HWK before the Record Date will have the effect of lowering the number of Diablo Shares distributed for each Share in HWK.

Having regard to each of the above matters, the Directors consider that, on balance, the In-specie Distribution of Diablo Shares to Shareholders is in the best interests of Shareholders as the Directors believe that the Company will be able to provide greater value to the Shareholders through the Spin-off. In this regard, the Directors believe that Shareholders will be able to directly participate in the potential upside of the Gold-Copper Projects which may not be realised without the Spin-off.

2.29 Other Material Information

There is no information material to the making of a decision by a Shareholder in the Company whether or not to approve Resolution 2 and Resolution 3 (being information that is known to any of the Directors and which has not been previously disclosed to Shareholders in the Company) other than as disclosed in this Explanatory Statement and all relevant Schedules.

3. RESOLUTIONS 4 - 6 – ISSUE OF DIABLO PERFORMANCE RIGHTS TO RELATED PARTIES

3.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue an aggregate of 7,400,000 Performance Rights in Diablo (Diablo Performance Rights) to Mr Paul Lloyd, Mr Greg Smith and Mr Barnaby-Egerton Warburton (or their nominee) (Related Parties) on the terms and conditions set out below.

Resolutions 4 to 6 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the Diablo Performance Rights to the Related Parties.

3.2 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 Diablo Performance Rights to the Related Parties constitutes giving a financial benefit and each of the Related Parties is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

As the Diablo Performance Rights are proposed to be issued to all of the Directors, the Directors are unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to the issue of the Diablo Performance Rights. Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the issue of Diablo Performance Rights to the Related Parties is sought in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

3.3 Listing Rule 10.11

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

  • 10.11.1 a related party;
  • 10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
  • 10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;
  • 10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
  • 10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

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

Resolutions 4 to 6 seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Diablo Performance Rights under and for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11.

3.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 4 to 6 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Diablo Performance Rights to the Related Parties within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Diablo Performance Rights (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Diablo Performance Rights will not use up any of the Company's 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolution 4 to 6 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Diablo Performance Rights. As a result, the Board will need to evaluate other forms of performance linked incentive components to the remuneration package of the Related Parties.

3.5 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 4 to 6:

  • (a) the Diablo Performance Rights will be issued to the following persons:
  • (i) Mr Paul LLoyd (or their nominee) pursuant to Resolution 4;
  • (ii) Mr Greg Smith (or their nominee) pursuant to Resolution 5; and
  • (iii) Mr Barnaby Egerton-Warburton (or their nominee) pursuant to Resolution 6,

each of whom falls within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1 by virtue of being a Director;

  • (b) the number of Diablo Performance Rights to be issued to the Related Parties (being the nature of the financial benefit proposed to be given) is 7,400,000 comprising:
  • (i) 3,000,000 Diablo Performance Rights to Mr Paul Lloyd (or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 4;
  • (ii) 2,300,000 Diablo Performance Rights to Mr Greg Smith (or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 5; and
  • (iii) 2,100,000 Diablo Performance Rights to Mr Barnaby Egerton-Warburton (or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 6;
  • (c) the terms and conditions of the Diablo Performance Rights are set out in Schedule 6;
  • (d) the Diablo Performance Rights will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Diablo Performance Rights will occur on the same date;

  • (e) the issue price of the Diablo Performance Rights will be nil. The Company will not receive any other consideration in respect of the issue of the Diablo Performance Rights (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Diablo Performance Rights);

  • (f) the purpose of the issue of the Diablo Performance Rights is to provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for the Related Parties to align the interests of the Related Parties with those of Shareholders of Diablo, to motivate and reward the performance of the Related Parties in their roles as Directors and to provide a cost effective way for Diablo to remunerate the Related Parties, which will allow Diablo to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to the Related Parties;
  • (g) the Diablo Performance Rights will not be quoted. The Company has agreed to issue the Diablo Performance Rights to the Related Parties subject to Shareholder for the following reasons:
  • (i) the issue of the Diablo Performance Rights has no immediate dilutionary impact on Shareholders;
  • (ii) the deferred taxation benefit which is available to the Related Parties in respect of an issue of Diablo Performance Rights is also beneficial to Diablo as it means the Related Parties are not required to immediately sell the Diablo Performance Rights 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 Diablo; and
  • (iii) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to Diablo or benefits foregone by Diablo in issuing the Diablo Performance Rights on the terms proposed;
  • (h) the number of Diablo Performance Rights to be issued to each of the Related Parties has been determined based upon a consideration of:
  • (i) current market standards and/or practices of other ASX listed companies of a similar size and stage of development to Diablo;
  • (ii) the remuneration of the Related Parties; and
  • (iii) incentives to attract and ensure continuity of service of the Related Parties who have appropriate knowledge and expertise, while maintaining Diablo's cash reserves.

The Company does not consider that there are any significant opportunity costs to Diablo or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Diablo Performance Rights upon the terms proposed;

(i) the total remuneration package for each of the Related Parties for the previous financial year and the proposed total remuneration package for the current financial year are set out below:

Related Party Current
Financial Year
Previous
Financial Year
Mr Paul Lloyd1 \$325,091 \$233,450
Mr Greg Smith2 \$67,408 \$127,185
Mr Barnaby Egerton-Warburton3 \$117,768 \$65,498

Notes:

    1. Comprising Directors' fees of \$250,000, a superannuation payment of \$10,173, annual leave paid out of \$20,946 and share-based payments of \$43,972.
    1. Comprising Directors' fees of \$36,000 and share-based payments of \$31,408
    1. Comprising Directors' fees of \$85,379, a superannuation payment of \$4,121 and share-based payments of \$28,268.
  • (j) the value of the Diablo Performance Rights and the pricing methodology is set out in Schedule 7;
  • (k) the Diablo Performance Rights are not being issued under an agreement;
  • (i) the Related Parties have no relevant interests in securities of Diablo as at the date of this Notice.
  • (l) if the Diablo Performance Rights issued to the Related Parties are exercised, a total of 7,400,000 Shares would be issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 74,500,000 (being the total number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice) to 81,900,000 (assuming that no Shares are issued and no convertible securities vest or are exercised) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of 9.93%, comprising 4.03% by Mr Paul Lloyd, 3.09% by Mr Greg Smith and 2.82% by Mr Barnaby Egerton-Warburton.

The market price for Shares during the term of the Diablo Performance Rights would normally determine whether the Performance Rights are exercised. If, at any time any of the Diablo Performance Rights are exercised and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the Diablo Performance Rights, there may be a perceived cost to the Diablo:

  • (i) each Director has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 4 to 6 on the basis that all of the Directors (or their nominees) are to be issued Diablo Performance Rights should Resolutions 4 to 6 be passed. For this reason, the Directors do not believe that it is appropriate to make a recommendation on Resolutions 4 to 6 of this Notice; and
  • (ii) the Board is not aware of any other information that is reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to decide whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolutions 4 to 6.

SCHEDULE 3 – KEY RISK FACTORS FACING DIABLO

The business, assets and operations of Diablo will be subject to certain risk factors that have the potential to influence its operating and financial performance in the future. These risks can impact on the value of an investment in its securities and include those highlighted in the table below.

The risk factors set out below ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by Diablo or by investors in Diablo. The below factors, and others not specifically referred to below, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of Diablo and the value of the Diablo Shares. Therefore, the Diablo Shares carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those shares.

Company specific risks:

Risk Category Risk
Conditional Proposal The Proposal is conditional upon the Conditions being satisfied or
waived. The Conditions are set out in Section 2.3.
There is no certainty that the Conditions will be satisfied. In the
event that these conditions are not met, the Proposal will not
proceed.
Limited History Diablo was only recently registered on 1 April 2021 and therefore
has little operating history and financial performance.
No assurance can be given that Diablo will achieve commercial
viability through the successful exploration of the Projects. Until
Diablo is able to realise value from its Projects, it is likely to incur
ongoing operating losses.
Exploration
and
operating
The mineral exploration licences comprising the Gold-Copper
Projects
are at various stages of exploration, and potential
investors
should
understand
that
mineral
exploration
and
development are high-risk undertakings.
There can be
no assurance that future exploration of these
licences, or any other mineral licences that may be acquired in
the future, will result in the discovery of an economic resource.
Even if an apparently viable resource is identified, there is no
guarantee that it can be economically exploited.
The future exploration activities of Diablo may be affected by a
range of factors including geological conditions, limitations on
activities due to seasonal weather patterns or adverse weather
conditions, unanticipated operational and technical difficulties,
difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment,
mechanical
failure
or
plant
breakdown,
unanticipated
metallurgical problems which may affect extraction costs,
industrial
and
environmental
accidents,
industrial
disputes,
unexpected
shortages
and
increases
in
the
costs
of
consumables, spare parts, plant, equipment and staff, native title
process, changing government regulations and many other
factors beyond the control of Diablo.
The success of Diablo will also depend upon Diablo being able to
maintain title to the mineral exploration licences comprising the
Gold-Copper Projects and obtaining all required approvals for
their contemplated activities. In the event that exploration
Risk Category Risk
programmes prove to be unsuccessful this could lead to a
diminution in the value of the Gold-Copper Projects, a reduction
in the cash reserves of Diablo and possible relinquishment of one
or more of the mineral exploration licences comprising the Gold
Copper Projects.
Tenure, access and
grant of applications
The
Tenements
comprising
the
Gold-Copper
Projects
are
governed by USA legislation and are evidenced by the granting
of licenses or leases. Each license or lease is for a specific term
and
carries
with
it
conditions
requiring
compliance.
Consequently, Diablo could lose title to or its interest in its
tenements if license conditions are not met.
Diablo holds all material authorisations required to undertake its
exploration programs. However, many of the mineral rights and
interests held or to be held by Diablo are subject to the need for
ongoing or new government approvals, licences and permits.
These requirements, including work permits and environmental
approvals, will change as Diablo's operations develop. Delays in
obtaining, or an inability to obtain, required authorisations may
significantly impact on the Diablo's operations.
Dilution On completion of the Diablo IPO, asset disposals and In-Specie
Distribution, the number of Shares on issue in Diablo will increase
from 1 to 74,500,000 (i.e. representing an increase of 74,499,999).
On this basis, HWK Shareholders participating in the In-Specie
Distribution should note that their shareholdings in Diablo will
technically be diluted by up to 46.3% if they do not participate in
the Diablo IPO (and may still be diluted even if they do
participate).
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 Diablo remains unknown.
Diablo'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 Diablo's operations
and are likely to be beyond the control of Diablo.
The COVID-19 pandemic may also give rise to issues, delays or
restrictions in relation to land access and Diablo's ability to freely
move people and equipment to and from exploration projects
and may cause delays or cost increases. The effects of COVID -
19 on Diablo's Share price and global financial markets generally
may also affect Diablo's ability to raise equity or debt or require
Diablo to issue capital at a discount, which may in turn cause
dilution to Shareholders.
Climate risk There are a number of climate-related factors that may affect
the operations and proposed activities of Diablo. The climate
change risks particularly attributable to Diablo include:
(a)
the
emergence
of
new
or
expanded
regulations
associated with the transitioning to a lower-carbon
economy and market changes related to climate
change
mitigation.
Diablo
may
be
impacted
by
changes to local or international compliance regulations
Risk Category Risk
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 Diablo and its profitability. While Diablo will
endeavour
to
manage
these
risks
and
limit
any
consequential impacts, there can be no guarantee that
Diablo will not be impacted by these occurrences; and
(b) climate
change
may
cause
certain
physical
and
environmental risks that cannot be predicted by Diablo,
including events such as increased severity of weather
patterns and incidence of extreme weather events and
longer-term
physical
risks
such
as
shifting
climate
patterns. All these risks associated with climate change
may significantly change the industry in which Diablo
operates.

Industry specific risks:

Risk Category Risk
Native
title
and
Indigenous Heritage
The Directors will closely monitor the potential effect of native title
claims or Indigenous heritage matters involving tenements in
which Diablo has or may have an interest.
Exploration success The Tenements are at various stages of exploration, and potential
investors
should
understand
that
mineral
exploration
and
development are speculative and high-risk undertakings that
may be impeded by circumstances and factors beyond the
control of Diablo. Success in this process involves, among other
things:
(a) discovery and proving-up, or acquiring, an economically
recoverable resource or reserve;
(b) access
to
adequate
capital
throughout
the
acquisition/discovery and project development phases;
(c)
securing
and maintaining title to mineral exploration
projects;
(d)
obtaining
required
development
consents
approvals
necessary
for
the
acquisition,
exploration, development and production phases; and
(e) accessing the necessary experienced operational staff,
the applicable financial management and recruiting
skilled contractors, consultants and employees.
There can be no assurance that exploration of the Tenements, or
any other exploration properties that may be acquired in the
future, will result in the discovery of an economic mineral
resource. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there
is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited.
deposit There is no assurance that exploration or project studies by Diablo
will result in the definition of an economically viable mineral
or
that
the
exploration
tonnage
estimates
and
Risk Category Risk
conceptual project developments discussed in this Prospectus
are able to be achieved.
The future exploration activities of Diablo may be affected by a
range of factors including geological conditions, limitations on
activities due to seasonal weather patterns, unanticipated
operational
and
technical
difficulties,
industrial
and
environmental accidents, changing government regulations and
many other factors beyond the control of Diablo.
Exploration costs The exploration costs of Diablo as summarised in Section 2.7 are
based on certain assumptions with respect to the method and
timing
of exploration.
By their nature, these estimates and
assumptions
are
subject
to
significant
uncertainty,
and
accordingly, the actual costs may materially differ from the
estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, no assurance can be
given that the cost estimates and the underlying assumptions will
be realised in practice, which may materially and adversely
impact Diablo's viability.
Resource
and
reserves
and
exploration targets
Diablo has identified a number of exploration targets based on
geological
interpretations
and
limited
geophysical
data,
geochemical sampling and historical drilling. Insufficient data
however, exists to provide certainty over the extent of the
mineralisation.
Whilst Diablo intends to undertake additional
exploratory work with the aim of defining a resource, no
assurances can be given that additional exploration will result in
the determination of a resource on any of the exploration targets
identified. Even if a resource is identified no assurance can be
provided that this can be economically extracted.
Reserve and resource estimates are expressions of judgement
based
on
knowledge,
experience
and
industry
practice.
Estimates which were valid when initially calculated may alter
significantly when new information or techniques become
available. In addition, by their very nature resource and reserve
estimates are imprecise and depend to some extent on
interpretations which may prove to be inaccurate.
Grant
of
future
authorisations
to
explore and mine
If Diablo discovers an economically viable mineral deposit that is
then intends to develop, it will, among other things, require
various approvals, licence and permits before it will be able to
mine the deposit. There is no guarantee that Diablo will be able
to obtain all required approvals, licenses and permits. To the
extent that required authorisations are not obtained or are
delayed, Diablo's operational and financial performance may
be materially adversely affected.
Mine development Possible future development of mining operations at the Projects
is dependent on a number of factors including, but not limited to,
the acquisition and/or delineation of economically recoverable
mineralisation, favourable geological conditions, receiving the
necessary approvals from all relevant authorities and parties,
seasonal
weather
patterns,
unanticipated
technical
and
operational difficulties encountered in extraction and production
activities, mechanical failure of operating plant and equipment,
shortages or increases in the price of consumables, spare parts
and plant and equipment, cost overruns, access to the required
Risk Category Risk
level of funding and contracting risk from third parties providing
essential services.
If Diablo
commences production on one of the Projects, its
operations may be disrupted by a variety of risks and hazards
which are beyond the control of Diablo. No assurance can be
given that Diablo will achieve commercial viability through the
development of the Projects.
The risks associated with the development of a mine will be
considered in full should the Projects reach that stage and will be
managed with ongoing consideration of stakeholder interests.
Environmental The operations and proposed activities of Diablo are subject to
State
and
Federal
laws
and
regulations
concerning
the
environment.
As with most exploration projects and mining
operations, Diablo's activities are expected to have an impact
on the environment, particularly if advanced exploration or mine
development proceeds.
It is Diablo'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
Diablo's ongoing compliance with environmental legislation,
regulations and licences. Significant liabilities could be imposed
on Diablo 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.
There is a risk that environmental laws and regulations become
more onerous making Diablo's operations more expensive.
Approvals are required for land clearing and for ground
disturbing activities.
Delays in obtaining such approvals can
result in the delay to anticipated exploration programmes or
mining activities.
Regulatory
Compliance
Diablo's operating activities are subject to extensive laws and
regulations relating to numerous matters including resource
licence consent, environmental compliance and rehabilitation,
taxation, employee relations, health and worker safety, waste
disposal, protection of the environment, native title and heritage
matters, protection of endangered and protected species and
other matters. Diablo requires permits from regulatory authorities
to authorise Diablo's operations.
These permits relate to
exploration,
development,
production
and
rehabilitation
activities.
While Diablo 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
Risk Category Risk
changes in legal requirements or in the terms of existing permits
and agreements applicable to Diablo or its properties, which
could have a material adverse impact on Diablo'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
Diablo
from
proceeding with the development of a project or the operation
or development of a mine. Any failure to comply with applicable
laws and regulations or permits, even if inadvertent, could result
in material fines, penalties or other liabilities. In extreme cases,
failure could result in suspension of Diablo's activities or forfeiture
of one or more of the Tenements.

General risks:

Risk Category Risk
Additional
requirements
for
capital
Diablo's capital requirements depend on numerous factors.
Diablo
may require further financing in addition to amounts
raised under the Diablo IPO. Any additional equity financing will
dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if
available, may
involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If Diablo
is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be
required to reduce the scope of its operations and scale back its
exploration programmes as the case may be. There is however
no guarantee that Diablo will be able to secure any additional
funding or be able to secure funding on terms favourable to
Diablo.
Reliance
on
key
personnel
The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and
the strategic management of Diablo depends substantially on its
senior management and its key personnel.
There can be no
assurance given that there will be no detrimental impact on
Diablo
if
one
or
more
of
these
employees
cease
their
employment.
Diablo may not be able to replace its senior management or key
personnel with persons of equivalent expertise and experience
within a reasonable period of time or at all and Diablo may incur
additional expenses to recruit, train and retain personnel. Loss of
such personnel may also have an adverse effect on the
performance of Diablo.
Economic General economic conditions, introduction of tax reform, new
legislation, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency
exchange rates may have an adverse effect on Diablo's
exploration, development and production activities, as well as on
its ability to fund those activities. If activities cannot be funded,
there is a risk that the Assets may have to be surrendered or not
renewed. General economic conditions may also affect the
Risk Category Risk
value of Diablo
and its valuation regardless of its actual
performance.
Competition risk The industry in which Diablo will be involved is subject to domestic
and global competition.
Although Diablo
will undertake all
reasonable due diligence in its business decisions and operations,
Diablo will have no influence or control over the activities or
actions of its competitors, which activities or actions may,
positively or negatively, affect the operating and financial
performance of Diablo's projects and business.
Currently no market There is currently no public market for Diablo's Shares, the price
of its Shares
is subject to uncertainty and there can be no
assurance that an active market for Diablo's Shares will develop
or continue after the Diablo IPO.
The price at which Diablo'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 Diablo 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 Diablo's
Shares will develop or that the price of the Shares will increase.
There may be relatively few or many potential buyers or sellers of
the Shares on ASX at any given time.
This may increase the
volatility of the market price of the Shares. It may also affect the
prevailing market price at which Shareholders are able to sell
their Shares. This may result in Shareholders receiving a market
price for their Shares
that is above or below the price that
Shareholders paid.
Market conditions Share market conditions may affect the value of Diablo's Shares
regardless of Diablo's operating performance. Share market
conditions are affected by many factors such as:
(a)
general economic outlook;
(b)
introduction of tax reform or other new legislation;
(c)
interest rates and inflation rates;
(d)
changes in investor sentiment toward particular market
sectors;
(e)
the demand for, and supply of, capital; and
(f)
terrorism or other hostilities.
The market price of Shares can fall as well as rise and may be
subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for
equities in general and resource exploration stocks in particular.
Commodity
price
volatility
and
exchange rate risks
If Diablo achieves success leading to mineral production, the
revenue it will derive through the sale of product exposes the
potential income of Diablo to commodity price and exchange
rate risks. Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by many
factors beyond the control of Diablo. Such factors include supply
Risk Category Risk
and
demand
fluctuations
for
precious
and
base
metals,
technological advancements, forward selling activities and other
macro-economic factors.
Furthermore, international prices of various commodities are
denominated in United States dollars, whereas the income and
expenditure of Diablo will be taken into account in Australian
currency, exposing Diablo to the fluctuations and volatility of the
rate of exchange between the United States dollar and the
Australian dollar as determined in international markets.
Government
policy
changes
Adverse changes in government policies or legislation may affect
ownership of mineral interests, taxation, royalties, land access,
labour relations, and mining and exploration activities of Diablo.
It is possible that the current system of exploration and mine
permitting
in
Western
Australia
may
change,
resulting
in
impairment of rights and possibly expropriation of Diablo's
properties without adequate compensation.
Insurance Diablo intends to insure its operations in accordance with industry
practice. However, in certain circumstances Diablo's insurance
may not be of a nature or level to provide adequate insurance
cover. The occurrence of an event that is not covered or fully
covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on
the business, financial condition and results of Diablo.
Insurance of all risks associated with mineral exploration and
production is not always available and where available the costs
can be prohibitive.
Force Majeure Diablo's projects now or in the future may be adversely affected
by risks outside the control of Diablo including labour unrest, civil
disorder, war, subversive activities or sabotage, fires, floods,
explosions or other catastrophes, epidemics or quarantine
restrictions.
Taxation The
Acquisition
and
disposal
of
Shares
will
have
tax
consequences, which will differ depending on the individual
financial affairs of each investor. All potential investors in Diablo
are urged to obtain independent financial advice about the
consequences of acquiring Shares from a taxation viewpoint and
generally.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Diablo, its officers and
each of their respective advisors accept no liability and
responsibility with respect to the taxation consequences of
subscribing for Shares under this Prospectus.
Litigation Risks Diablo is exposed to possible litigation risks including native title
claims, tenure disputes, environmental claims, occupational
health and safety claims and employee claims. Further, Diablo
may be involved in disputes with other parties in the future which
may result in litigation. Any such claim or dispute if proven, may
impact adversely on Diablo's operations, reputation, financial
performance and financial position.
Diablo
is not currently
engaged in any litigation.

TOTAL 4,900,000 1,250,000 1,250,000 7,400,000

(a) Milestones

The Performance Rights will have the following milestones attached to them:

  • (i) Class A Performance Rights: Class A Performance Rights will convert into an equal number of Shares upon Diablo announcing the 50,000 ounce gold or gold equivalent inferred JORC Resource Estimate, within 36 months from the date of issue;
  • (ii) Class B Performance Rights: Class B Performance Rights will convert into an equal number of Shares upon Diablo announcing a 100,000 ounce gold or gold equivalent inferred JORC Resource, within 48 months from the date of issue; and
  • (iii) Class C Performance Rights: Class C Performance Rights will convert into an equal number of Shares upon Diablo announcing a 150,000 ounce gold or gold equivalent inferred JORC ounce Resource Estimate within 60 months from the date of issue.

(each a Milestone).

Independent Verification

Subject to the achievement of a Milestone, a Performance Right will only be able to be converted into a Share by a holder after the Company's auditor verifies the achievement of the Milestone in conjunction with an independent geologist (where required to verify any matters under JORC). The auditor's verification process will be based on reviewing the market information to determine if the share price hurdle is met and verifying that the relevant announcements in respect of the resource estimate (as the case may be).

(b) Vesting Deadline

Each of the Performance Rights shall lapse on the following dates:

  • (i) Class A Performance Rights: the date that is 36 months from the date of issue;
  • (ii) Class B Performance Rights: the date that is 48 months from the date of issue of the Performance Right; and

(iii) Class C Performance Rights: the date that is 60 months from the date of issue of the Performance Right,

(each a Vesting Deadline).

If the relevant Milestone attached to a class of Performance Rights has not been achieved by the relevant Vesting Deadline, then the relevant Performance Rights will automatically lapse. For the avoidance of doubt, a Performance Right will not lapse in the event the relevant Milestone is met before the relevant Vesting Deadline and the Shares the subject of a conversion are deferred in accordance with paragraph (q) below.

(c) Notification to holder

The Company shall notify the holder in writing when the Milestone has been satisfied.

(d) Conversion

Subject to paragraph (m), upon vesting and achievement of the relevant Milestone, each Performance Right will, at the election of the holder, convert into one fully paid ordinary share in the capital of the Company (Share).

(e) Share ranking

All Shares issued upon the vesting of Performance Rights will upon issue rank pari passu in all respects with other Shares.

(f) Application to ASX

The Performance Rights will not be quoted on ASX. The Company must apply for the official quotation of a Share issued on conversion of a Performance Right on ASX within the time period required by the ASX Listing Rules.

(g) Transfer of Performance Rights

The Performance Rights are not transferable.

(h) Expiry Date

Each Performance Right shall otherwise expire five (5) years from the date of issue (Expiry Date). If the relevant Milestone attached to the Performance Right has been achieved by the Expiry Date, all unconverted Performance Rights of the relevant class will automatically lapse at that time.

(i) Consideration

The Performance Rights will be issued for nil consideration and no consideration will be payable upon the conversion of the Performance Rights into Shares.

(j) Participation in new issues

A Performance Right does not entitle a holder (in their capacity as a holder of a Performance Right) to participate in new issues of capital offered to holders of Shares such as bonus issues and entitlement issues.

(k) Reorganisation of capital

If at any time the issued capital of the Company is reconstructed, all rights of a holder will be changed in a manner consistent with the applicable ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act at the time of reorganisation.

(l) Dividend and Voting Rights

The Performance Rights do not confer on the holder an entitlement to vote (except as otherwise required by law) or receive dividends.

(m) Change in control

Subject to paragraph (q), upon:

  • (i) a takeover bid under Chapter 6 of the Corporations Act having been made in respect of the Company and:
  • (A) having received acceptances for not less than 50% of the Company's Shares on issue; and
  • (B) having been declared unconditional by the bidder; or
  • (ii) a Court granting orders approving a compromise or arrangement for the purposes of or in connection with a scheme of arrangement for the reconstruction of the Company or its amalgamation with any other company or companies,

that number of Performance Rights that is equal to not more than 10% of the Shares on issue immediately following conversion under this paragraph will convert into an equivalent number of Shares. The conversion will be completed on a pro rata basis across each class of Performance Rights then on issue as well as on a pro rata basis for each holder. Performance Rights that are not converted into Shares under this paragraph will continue to be held by the holders on the same terms and conditions.

(n) Deferral of conversion if resulting in a prohibited acquisition of Shares

If the conversion of a Performance Right under paragraph (d) or (m) would result in any person being in contravention of section 606(1) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (General Prohibition) then the conversion of that Performance Right shall be deferred until such later time or times that the conversion would not result in a contravention of the General Prohibition. In assessing whether a conversion of a Performance Right would result in a contravention of the General Prohibition:

  • (i) holders may give written notification to the Company if they consider that the conversion of a Performance Right may result in the contravention of the General Prohibition. The absence of such written notification from the holder will entitle the Company to assume the conversion of a Performance Right will not result in any person being in contravention of the General Prohibition; and
  • (ii) the Company may (but is not obliged to) by written notice to a holder request a holder to provide the written notice referred to in paragraph (n)(i) within seven days if the Company considers that the conversion of a Performance Right may result in a contravention of the General Prohibition. The absence of such written notification from the holder will entitle the Company to assume the conversion of a

Performance Right will not result in any person being in contravention of the General Prohibition.

(o) No rights to return of capital

A Performance Right does not entitle the holder to a return of capital, whether in a winding up, upon a reduction of capital or otherwise.

(p) Rights on winding up

A Performance Right does not entitle the holder to participate in the surplus profits or assets of the Company upon winding up.

(q) No other rights

A Performance Right gives the holder no rights other than those expressly provided by these terms and those provided at law where such rights at law cannot be excluded by these terms.

Dear Sirs,

INDEPENDENT TECHNICAL ASSESSMENT REPORT

At the request of Diablo Resources Limited (DBO or the Company), Optiro has prepared an Independent Technical Assessment Report (Report) on the mineral assets held by DBO. This Report has been prepared in accordance with the Code for Public Reporting of Technical Assessments and Valuations of Mineral Assets, 2015 Edition (the VALMIN Code, 2015), the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (the JORC Code, 2012) and the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) Regulatory Guides 111, 112 and 228.

This Report represents an independent assessment of the geology, exploration data and exploration potential of the various mineral assets held by DBO. It is our understanding that this Report will be included in a Notice of Meeting and a Prospectus to be published by the Company in connection with its proposed admission of the shares in the Company to trading on the ASX. Optiro has been informed by DBO that the principal purpose of the offering is to raise funds to complete further exploration including geophysical and geochemical surveys, geological mapping and the drilling of existing geophysical anomalies and exploration targets with the aim of defining Mineral Resources.

The mineral assets of DBO and its 100% owned subsidiaries comprise the Devil's Canyon Project located in Nevada, the Western Desert Project located in Utah and the Lone Pine Project located in Idaho, all within the USA. The objectives of this Report are to provide an overview of the geological setting of the mineral assets and the associated mineralisation, outline the recent and historical exploration work undertaken over the project areas and comment on the completed exploration work with regards to project prospectivity.

DBO has provided to Optiro drilling and sampling data and other information generated by DBO, its subsidiaries and by previous owners of the mineral assets. Optiro has not completed a site inspection of the properties. The projects are at an early stage of assessment and it was considered that site visits would be unlikely to reveal any information or data that is material to this Report. The author is satisfied that sufficient information was available to give an informed opinion.

Based on Optiro's assessment of DBO's mineral assets, it is our opinion that they are of value and contain exploration potential as presented. Optiro has considered the expenditure schedules, studies and exploration programmes outlined by DBO and considers them to be reasonable and appropriate to progress the projects. However, all exploration projects are subject to risksfrom unforeseen future issues and events beyond the control of the company; in this sense, DBO is no exception.

Consent has been sought from DBO and its representatives to include technical information and opinions expressed by DBO. No other entities referred to in this Report have consented to the inclusion of any information or opinions and have only been referred to in the context of reporting any relevant activities.

Optiro has prepared this Report on the understanding that the mineral assets held by DBO are currently in good legal standing and has not independently verified DBO's legal tenure over its tenements. Optiro is not qualified to make statements in this regard and has relied upon information provided by DBO. Optiro understands that DBO has engaged Perkins Coie LLP to review the tenement status which is included elsewhere in DBO's Prospectus.

Optiro has endeavoured, by making reasonable enquiry of DBO, to ensure that all material information in the possession of DBO has been fully disclosed. However, Optiro has not carried out any type of audit of the records of DBO to verify that all material documentation has been provided. A final draft version of this Report was provided to the Directors of DBO, along with a request to confirm that there are no material errors or omissions in the Report and that the technical information and interpretations provided by them and reflected in the Report are factually accurate. Confirmation of these terms has been provided in writing and has been relied upon by Optiro. Optiro has based its findings upon information supplied up until 15 July 2021.

Optiro is an independent consulting and advisory organisation which provides a range of services related to the minerals industry including, in this case, independent geological services, but also resource evaluation, corporate advisory, mining engineering, mine design, scheduling, audit, due diligence and risk assessment assistance. Optiro declares that the author and reviewer of this Report have no material interest in DBO, their associated entities or in the assets described in this Report. Optiro has charged DBO a professional fee for services rendered, the quantum of which is unrelated to the outcome or the content of this Report.

Yours sincerely OPTIRO PTY LTD

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1. PURPOSE

At the request of Diablo Resources Limited (DBO or the Company), an Independent Technical Assessment Report (Report) on the mineral assets held by DBO has been prepared by Mr Jason Froud (Principal) and was reviewed by Mrs Christine Standing (Principal), both of Optiro Pty Ltd (Optiro). This Report represents an independent assessment of the geology, exploration data and exploration potential of the various mineral assets. It is our understanding that this Report will be included in the Notice of Meeting and Prospectus to be published by the Company in connection with the proposed admission of its shares trading on the ASX. Optiro has been informed by DBO that the principal purpose of the offering is to raise funds to complete further exploration, including geophysical surveys, geochemical sampling, geological mapping and drilling of existing mineral anomalies and exploration targets, with the aim of defining Mineral Resources.

The mineral assets of DBO and its 100% owned subsidiaries comprise the Devil's Canyon Gold – Copper Project located in Nevada, the Western Desert Gold – Copper Project located in Utah and the Lone Pine Gold Project located in Idaho, all within the USA.

1.2. DEVIL'S CANYON PROJECT

The Devil's Canyon Project is prospective for gold and copper and is located approximately 50 km north of Eureka and 100 km south of Elko, Nevada, USA. The project consists of 90 mineral claims covering 7.3 km2 within the Carlin Trend in Nevada which has produced in excess of 195 million ounces of gold. The project is 20 km west of Kinross Gold Corporation's Bald Mountain Gold Mine and 40 km north of Barrick Gold Corporation's Ruby Hill Gold Mine.

Minor copper mining occurred within the project during the 1950s and a period of exploration commenced in 1987 with stream sediment sampling followed by 13 reverse-circulation (RC) drill holes testing the property for gold mineralisation.

The project is underlain by a sequence of Palaeozoic sediments intruded by a multi-phase granite. Photogeological interpretation has identified seven targets related to northeast, northwest and northerly trending faults and shear zones in and around the perimeter of the granite. Airborne magnetic surveying has further highlighted these exploration targets. Subsequent phases of rock chip sampling has identified two gold-copper and two copper mineralised zones closely related to the structural targets that lie along a northeast trending structure forming the northern contact of the intrusive rocks with limestone.

The magnetic survey data is being modelled and further mapping and sampling are planned prior to drilling in the coming 2021 northern field season.

1.3. WESTERN DESERT PROJECT

The Western Desert Project is located in western Utah near to the Nevada Border. It is considered prospective for gold and copper mineralisation and consists of 257 mineral claims and a State Lease covering 28.65 km2 . The project is located within the Basin and Range Province of the Western USA, within the same sequence of Cambro-Ordovician carbonate and sedimentary rocks that host the Carlin Trend gold deposits 200 km to the west and Newmont Corporation's Long Canyon Gold Mine 50 km to the west.

The stratigraphy and structural geology of the project is similar to the host rocks of the Carlin trend gold deposits. A wedge of Carboniferous sediments and carbonate units in the west is thrust over pre-

Carboniferous (Cambrian to Devonian) units to the east. In the Carlin Trend, the mineralisation is hosted within the overlying carbonate units along or near the thrust faults.

Previous exploration has consisted of minor shafts, adits and dozer scrapes along with more recent photogeological interpretation, mapping, rock chip, stream sediment sampling and ground magnetics and gravity surveys. The photogeological interpretation identified 11 geological and structural targets. This was followed by stream sediment sampling, in conjunction with rock chip sampling across the higher ranked exploration targets, that identified four areas of stream sediment anomalism. The main core of the project area, containing exploration targets A1, A2, A3 and A6, was covered by ground magnetics and gravity surveys. This data is presently being processed and modelled.

DBO plan to drill the resulting exploration targets in the second half of 2021.

1.4. LONE PINE PROJECT

The Lone Pine Project is considered prospective for gold and comprises two Patented Mining Claims and a further 268 mineral claims covering an area of approximately 21.85 km2 . It is located 10 km west of Salmon in Lemhi County, Idaho.

Gold was discovered in the project in 1882, with the majority of the development work completed on the Lone Pine vein zone prior to 1907, including six adits and a shallow shaft. A 10 stamp mill was constructed in 1907 and was operated intermittently for six months.

The King Solomon Mine, located 900 m to the southeast of the Lone Pine vein zone, was reportedly mined for high grade gold between 1890 and 1910. In 1990 and 1992, Teck Resources Inc. completed exploration at the King Solomon Mine including 18 RC drill holes.

The Lone Pine project contains precious metal occurrences and is spatially related to the Eocene age Trans-Challis Fault System, a major zone of rifting and crustal extension. The mineralised quartz-filled structure/shear hosting the Lone Pine vein zone is associated with a steeply dipping, northeast striking contact between granitoid and sediments.

During 2020, 11 diamond drill holes (LPDD01 to LPDD11) totalling 677.55 m were completed along the Lone Pine vein zone with all drill holes intersecting the mineralised zone. The best result was 0.31 m at 65.6 g/t gold. In addition to the drilling, regional mapping and rock chip sampling was completed identifying numerous other gold occurrences within the project area.

The Company is currently planning additional drillholes and airborne magnetic surveying for later in 2021.

1.5. EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL

In Optiro's opinion, DBO's mineral projects are of merit and worthy of further exploration. The planned work programmes are appropriate for the various development stages of the project areas and will provide suitable data to assess the technical risks and the further exploration potential of the identified prospects.

2.2. VALIDATION OF TENURE

Optiro has prepared this Report upon the understanding that the granted mineral claims and state leases held by DBO are currently in good legal standing. Optiro has not independently verified DBO's legal tenure over its tenements and has relied on information provided by DBO and Perkins Coie LLP. Optiro understands that DBO engaged Perkins Coie LLP to review the tenement status which is included elsewhere in DBO's Prospectus. Among other things, this Report provides an opinion on DBO's mineral claims, forfeiture risk and royalties.

In Nevada (Devil's Canyon Project), DBO holds 90 Bureau of land Management (BLM) Claims (Table 2.1). The total claim area is approximately 7.3 km2 . All BLM Claims are 100% held by DBO through a subsidiary company. There are no annual expenditure commitments. Federal law requires the payment an annual maintenance fees to the BLM which is currently US\$165 per claim.

In Utah (Western Desert Project), DBO holds 257 BLM Claims and a Patented State Lease comprising three parcels (Table 2.1). The total mineral claim area is approximately 28.8 km2 . All claims are 100% held by DBO through various subsidiary companies. There are no annual expenditure commitments. An annual payment of US\$165 per mineral claim is payable on the BLM Claims.

Within Idaho (Lone Pine Project), DBO holds 268 BLM Claims and two Patented Claims(Table 2.1). The total claim area is approximately 21.85 km2 . All claims are 100% held by DBO through various subsidiary companies. There are no annual expenditure commitments. An annual payment US\$165 per claim is payable on the BLM Claims.

Mineral licence definitions are provided below in Section 2.3.

Optiro is not qualified to provide a legal opinion on the status of the granted project licence but has reviewed the licence records and found them to be in good order. Accordingly, Optiro is satisfied that DBO currently has good and valid title to the described granted licences required to explore and undertake project development on the project areas in the manner proposed. Optiro notes that a mining claim is a parcel of land for which the claimant has asserted a right of possession and the right to develop and extract a discovered, valuable, mineral deposit. The mining of the claim is subject to the submittal and approval of a Plan of Operations.

2.3. LEGISLATION AND PERMITTING

The Devil's Canyon Project comprises only BLM Claims and as such all exploration and mining activity on the BLM Claims must be conducted under authority from the BLM.

In the case of the Western Desert Project, all exploration and mining activity on the BLM Claims must be conducted under an authority from the BLM. On the Patented State Leases, ground disturbing exploration proposals are submitted to and approved by the Utah Trust Lands Administration.

The Lone Pine Project lies within the Salmon-Challis National Forest and all exploration and mining activity must be conducted under authority of the US Forest Service, the overarching authority on the federally administered lands within the national forest. The Patented Claims are exempt from any approvals.

Those categories of relevance to the DBO mineral assets are described below.

BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT (BLM) CLAIM

The Bureau of land Management is an agency within the United States Department of the Interior responsible for administering federal lands. The agency manages the federal government's 245 million acres of surface land and over 700 million acres (2,800,000 km2 ) of subsurface mineral estate located beneath federal, state and private lands. Most BLM public lands are located in the 12 western states: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.

At the Devil's Canyon and Western Desert Projects, the BLM Claims have surface access rights but no excavation rights. Prior to drilling or any ground-disturbing work, an application to the local BLM office (a Letter of Intent) and subsequent approval is required. The Letter of Intent provides the right to carry out up to five acres (2.02 ha) of specified ground disturbing exploration (such as drilling or trenching) on the claims. For programmes exceeding the five acres a Proposal of Exploration (POE) is applied for. This involves the completion of baseline environmental and cultural surveys on all areas of proposed ground disturbance and its subsequent approval by the local BLM office.

BLM CLAIM - FORESTRY DEPARTMENT

In the case of the Lone Pine Project the BLM Claims are located within an area administered by the US Forest Service, the overarching regulatory agency. All proposals for ground disturbing exploration must be made through the local Salmon, Idaho office. Regulations and permitting are similar to the BLM processes.

PATENTED CLAIMS

Patented Claims grant the owner both surface and mineral rights and are treated as private property. They remain valid subject to the payment of annual fees.

STATE LEASES

The State Leases (part of the Western Desert Project) are administered by Utah Trust Lands Administration. The Utah State Lease requires an annual rent of US\$1.00 for each acre and fractional acre under the lease, but in no event less than US\$500.00 per year.

NATIVE TITLE

No native title rights exist on the Patented Claims, the BLM Claims or the State Leases.

2.4. RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE INDEPENDENT TECHNICAL REPORT

This report was prepared by Mr Jason Froud (Principal), and was reviewed by Mrs Christine Standing (Principal), both of Optiro.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the guidelines of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves, 2012 Edition (the JORC Code) and the Australasian Code for Public Reporting of Technical Assessments and Valuations of Mineral Assets, 2015 Edition (the VALMIN Code).

In developing its technical assumptions for the report, Optiro has relied upon information provided by DBO and its consultants, as well as information obtained from other public sources. The material on which this report is based includes internal and open-file project documentation, technical reports, drill hole and other exploration databases. DBO has provided to Optiro the drilling and sampling data and other information generated by DBO and by previous owners of the project areas.

Optiro has independently reviewed all relevant technical and corporate information made available by the management of DBO, which was accepted in good faith as being true, accurate and complete, having made due enquiry of DBO. Optiro has additionally sourced publicly available information relative to DBO's mineral assets.

Optiro has not completed a site inspection of the properties. The projects are at an early stage of assessment and it was considered that a site visit was unlikely to reveal any information or data that is material to this Report. The author is satisfied that sufficient information was available to form an informed opinion on the various projects.

3. DEVIL'S CANYON PROJECT

3.1. INTRODUCTION

The Devil's Canyon Gold-Copper Project (Devil's Canyon Project) is located approximately 50 km north of Eureka and 90 km south of Elko in Nevada, USA. The project consists of six claims subject to an Option Agreement, with a further 84 claims staked by the Company. The total area is approximately 7.3 km2 (Figure 3.1).

The project falls within the Diamond Mountains, a mountain range along the border of Eureka and White Pine Counties. The range reaches a maximum elevation of 3,240 m on the summit of Diamond Peak within the project area.

Figure 3.1 Devil's Canyon Project location and leases (source: DBO)

3.2. PREVIOUS EXPLORATION

Minor previous production was recorded on the project in the 1950s with approximately 2 tons of ore mined (1.8 metric tonnes). The production was from a small open pit mine but numerous prospect pits and trenches are located across the area (Roberts et al 1969).

The project was the target of limited recent exploration commencing in 1987 with stream sediment sampling. An account on the data from a previous owner described a Tertiary granite stock that intrudes clastic rocks of the Diamond Peak Formation, and the Ely Limestone. Gold-mineralisation was noted in skarn in the Ely Limestone proximal to the intrusive contact and in shear zones. It was

noted that 13 reverse circulation (RC) drill holes, totalling 3,465 feet (1,056 m) tested the property for gold mineralisation in the Ely Limestone and the Diamond Peak Formation (Figure 3.2). Complete assay data and sample intervals are not available to verify this information. Furthermore, 318 rock (grab) samples were collected around this time. The location that these samples were taken from is not known but significant results were reported. The details and representivity of the historical drilling and rock chip sampling are not known and are mentioned in this report for historical context.

Figure 3.2 Devil's Canyon Project local geology and previous exploration (source: DBO)

3.3. GEOLOGY

3.3.1. REGIONAL GEOLOGY

The Devil's Canyon Project is underlain by a sequence of Palaeozoic sediments deposited on a continental margin intruded by Mesozoic granite and younger intrusive plugs. These intrusive rocks have a strong spatial relationship to the gold and copper metal mineralisation within the claims. Several stages of compressional folding and northeast and northwest faulting have been recognised. Extensional deformation in the Tertiary has produced the present basin and range physiography and is responsible for igneous activity and related hydrothermal alteration and mineralisation. This geology is similar to the Bald Mountain (Kinross Gold Corporation - Kinross) and Ruby Hill Gold Mines (Barrick Gold Corporation - Barrick) (Figure 3.3).

The project is located 20 km west of Kinross's Bald Mountain gold mine and 40 km north of Barrick's Ruby Hill gold mine within Carlin Trend. The Carlin Trend encompasses a group of around 30 separate centres of gold mineralisation (mainly sediment hosted) and extends in a general northwesterly direction over a known distance of approximately 80 km and up to 8 km wide. The bulk of previous production has been from two clusters of mines found in two broad zones of outcrop of the host Palaeozoic sequences, separated by thick younger basin and range cover.

Figure 3.3 Devil's Canyon Project regional geological setting (source: DBO)

3.3.2. LOCAL GEOLOGY

The Devil's Canyon Project is underlain by a sequence of Palaeozoic sediments intruded by multi-phase granites. Compressional tectonics has established a structural regime of steeply dipping northnorthwest trending normal faults and northeast trending transform faults. The geological setting of the Devil's Canyon Project, is repeated throughout the Carlin Gold Trend, most notably:

• Kinross's Bald Mountain gold mine is hosted in south-southeast dipping limestones, dolomites and sediments intruded by quartz-monzonite stocks with faulting producing a complex structural regime. At the intersection of deep crustal northwest and north-northeast trending

faults or at sedimentary contacts, the gold mineralisation can attain appreciable widths (tens of metres).

  • At Barrick's Ruby Hill Mine the host rock is limestone and high-angle north-northeast and north-northwest-trending faults are important in localising gold mineralisation.
  • At i-80 Gold Corporation's (i-80) McCoy-Cove gold deposit differing mineral associations are associated with two identified intrusive events. The gold mineralisation follows intrusive contacts and persists to a depth of 200 m.

In 2020, an external consultant was engaged by the Company to complete photogeological interpretation on the project. This identified seven exploration targets based on geology and structure (Figure 3.2). These exploration targets comprise:

Target 1 is located at the intersection of a northeast trending structure bounding the Ely Limestone, a thrust in the Ely Limestone and the northern contact of a granite intrusive. Rock sampling of the exploration target has produced some very high gold results. This includes 191.5 g/t, 92.2g/t and 68.1 g/t gold. The samples also contained up to 524 g/t silver and up to 9.59% copper.

Target 2 lies at the intersection of a parallel series of east-northeast trending structures and the granite contact.

Target 3 occupies a similar structural setting to Target 1 but on the southern contact of the granite.

Target 4 occurs on the southern contact of the granite. Sampling along strike from the exploration target near the granite contact returned up to 7.15 g/t gold and 16.1% copper.

Targets 5 and 6 lie on the western contact of the granite within the overlying carbonates and sediments where northeast and east-northeast faults cut the contact. Historical drilling was completed in Target 5 presumably to test for the presence of mineralisation along the contact. A historical adit lies to the north of Target 5.

Target 7 comprises a northwest trending structure within and along the contact of the granite. Sampling identified anomalous gold and copper mineralisation between this target and Target 1 returning up to 0.30 g/t gold and from 0.36% to 3.47% copper. East of the target area, a single sample of visible molybdenum on a fracture in the granite returned 436 ppm molybdenum.

Full details of the rock samples are included in the Section below. Optiro notes that rock chip samples may be selectively sampled and may not be representative of the potential mineralisation in the area. Results from the rock chip samples should be considered as indicative of mineralising potential only.

3.3.3. MINERALISATION

A total of 66 rock chip samples have been collected since 2020 as both outcrop and floatsamples. This includes initial sampling by the previous owner (14 samples, DP prefix), 15 samples during the purchase due diligence period by Hawkstone (DCM001 to DCM015) and a further 37 samples (DC016 to DC052) during later mapping, that focused on extending areas of known mineralisation together with reconnaissance prospecting along prospective trends and exploration targets identified from previous sampling and geological interpretations (Figure 3.2). All rock chip sample results are provided in Appendix A. As noted above, rock chip samples may be selectively sampled and may not be representative of the potential mineralisation in the area. The rock chip samples should be considered as indicative of mineralising potential only.

Anomalous rock chip samples were recorded from several areas with peak results of 191.5 g/t gold, 524 g/t silver and 16.05% copper. Elemental associations from the rock chip samples defined four distinct mineralised zones based on the relative abundance of each element termed Au1, Au2, Cu1 and Cu2 (Figure 3.4).

Figure 3.4 Airborne magnetics, major structures and gold-copper mineralised zones (source: DBO)

Zone Au1 includes 10 samples (DC042 to DC051) that returned highly elevated values for gold ranging from 1.12 g/t to 191.5 g/t, silver from 22.1 g/t to 524 g/t and copper from 0.54% to 10.25%. Minor element grades are reported in Appendix A. This zone correlates with structural target T1 located on a northeast trending structure on the contact of the Ely Limestone to the north and the intrusive granites to the south.

Zone Au2 was defined by five samples DC034 to DC038. Zone Au2 lies 200 m north and apparently parallel to structural target T3. This zone contains significant values for gold ranging from 0.9 g/t to 7.15 g/t, silver from 32.6 g/t to 174 g/t and copper from 1.32% to 6.14%. Elevated tin and bismuth also occur.

Zone Cu1 contains five samples with elevated values for copper ranging from 0.22% to 4.41%, silver from 0.6 g/t to 63.6 g/t, and tin from 5 ppm to 500 ppm. Both gold and zinc are also anomalous with one of the samples returning 1.08 g/t gold and two of the five samples returning 1.29% and 4.74% zinc. Zone Cu1 lies to the west of Zone Au1 on the southern edge of an ovate magnetic high.

Zone Cu2 corresponds to structural targets T5 and T6 and is defined by foursamples containing copper from 0.40% to 7.74% and silver from 0.60 g/t to 30.1 g/t.

These four anomalous zones suggests that mineral zonation, produced by multiple intrusive and mineralising phases, may exist. This is broadly similar to i-80's McCoy-Cove gold property located in the Battle Mountain-Eureka Trend. The McCoy-Cove deposit is one of the highest-grade gold deposits in Nevada with historical production of approximately 2.6 Moz of gold and 100 Moz of silver. At McCoy-Cove three types of mineralisation are present:

  • Carlin-type at Cove
  • polymetallic sheeted veins in the deep 2201 zone
  • skarn mineralisation in the historic McCoy pit.

The mineralised zones at McCoy-Cove are reported to have differing mineral associations that are associated with two intrusive events resulting in a prograde and retrograde mineralisation. The mineralisation follows intrusive contacts and persists to a depth of 200 m and up to 50 m from the contact. This is considered to be a similar geological setting to the interpreted structural exploration targets at Devil's Canyon, in particular coincident structural Target T1/mineralisation Zone A1.

3.3.4. GEOPHYSICS

In 2021, an airborne drone (UAV) magnetic survey was completed over the project area by independent US based contractors (MHW Geo-Surveys International Ltd) (Figure 3.4, Table 3.1). The magnetic survey shows the presence of magnetic highs related to possible magnetite rich intrusive rocks, alteration zones or skarns. Significant magnetic lows are also present, possibly representing areas of magnetite destruction. The original photogeological/structural interpretation fits closely with the magnetic survey demonstrating the continuation of structures not recognised on the satellite imagery.

Initial processing of the magnetic survey data was completed by Perth consultancy Resource Potentials Ltd in 2021. The data is presently being interpreted and modelled in conjunction with the previous photogeological structural interpretation and available geochemistry.

3.4. EXPLORATION POTENTIAL

The project is interpreted to host Carlin/Cove style gold-copper mineralisation. Geological interpretation, mapping, rock chip sampling and airborne magnetics has shown the presence of significant gold and copper mineralisation within the project area. Further work is required to demonstrate the continuity and economic potential of the mineralisation.

4. WESTERN DESERT PROJECT

4.1. INTRODUCTION

The Western Desert Gold-Copper Project (Western Desert Project) consists of 257 BLM Claims and a Patented State Lease (28.8 km2 total) located in western Utah near to the Nevada Border. The closest town is Wendover, 42 km southwest of the project which straddles the Utah-Nevada Border, and

provides good access to all services and amenities. The project is readily accessible via maintained gravel roads from Wendover (Figure 4.1).

4.2. PREVIOUS EXPLORATION

No data relating to historical exploration prior to the acquisition by Hawkstone is available although surface pitting/shafts and an adit were apparently completed in the early 1900s. Dozer trenching was completed in the late 1990s, however no historical exploration data is available.

Since the acquisition of the project by Hawkstone in 2020, exploration has consisted of:

  • due diligence reconnaissance and sampling
  • photogeological interpretation and targeting
  • a two phased stream sediment sampling and rock chip sampling programme
  • ground geophysical surveys (magnetics and gravity).

4.3. GEOLOGY

4.3.1. REGIONAL GEOLOGY

The Western Desert Project is located within the Basin and Range Province of the Western USA, comprising a series of northerly striking, fault bounded ranges. The project lies within the same sequence of Cambro-Ordovician carbonate and sedimentary rocks that host the Carlin Trend gold deposits some 200 km to the west. Outside of the Carlin Trend, deposits that are hosted in a similar geological setting include:

  • Nevada Gold Mines Corporation's Long Canyon gold mine (19.8 Mt at 3.5 g/t for 2.2 Moz gold) located 65 km to the west (Barrick, 2020).
  • West Kirkland Mining Inc.'s TUG Deposit (4.85 Mt at 0.84 g/t gold and 40.4 g/t silver of Indicated Resources and 4.39 Mt at 0.79 g/t gold and 30.3 g/t silver of Inferred Resources) located 40 km to the north (West Kirkland Mining Inc., 2012).

Furthermore, the project lies 150 km west-northwest of the Bingham Canyon Mine. The Bingham Canyon Mine has been in continuous production since 1903 and has produced over 20 Mt of copper metal over that time. The current Mineral Resource is 285 Mt at 0.38% copper, 0.20 g/t gold and 0.017% molybdenum (Rio Tinto, 2021).

4.3.2. LOCAL GEOLOGY

The Western Desert Project lies in what is termed 'Crater Island'. The 'Island' a partially isolated outcrop of Palaeozoic and Mesozoic sediments and carbonate rocks, intruded by later Mesozoic igneous intrusive rocks forming an outcropping peninsula in the Great Salt Lake Desert area of Utah. The stratigraphy and structure of the outcrop is similar to the host rocks of the Carlin Trend gold deposits. A wedge of Carboniferous sedimentary and carbonate rock units in the west is thrust over pre-Carboniferous (Cambrian to Devonian) units to the east within the project.

The northern and southern margins of the thrust sheet are marked by northwest-trending left lateral faulting in the north and northeast-trending right lateral faulting in the south. The main faults trend approximately north-south and are considered to be shallow-dipping thrust and reverse faults, which may taper-out in the basin sediments. Other north-south trends particularly in the passive older block to the east, are thought to be older deep-seated fault trends, which represent elements of the original basin-margin faults and pre-date the compressional structural features of the basin. As such, they are considered to be important conduits for the rising mineralised fluids emplaced during the 'late' extensional phase of the basin development (Figure 4.2).

In 2020, an external consultant was engaged by the company to complete photogeological interpretation on the project which identified 11 exploration targets based on geological interpretation and structure (Figure 4.2). These exploration targets comprise:

Target A1 covers an anticline in the south of the mapped area where Carboniferous carbonates and clastic sediments are flexed against the Jurassic monzonite intrusive rocks to the south. The fold axis trends west-southwest and extends in this direction from the old Copper Blossom workings that have been the subject of previous mapping and sampling. A Late-Jurassic monzodiorite plug intrudes into the crest of the anticline to the west.

Targets A2 to A5 lie within north-south trends in the younger post-Carboniferous overthrust section. The exploration targets are interpreted as the most prominent zones of possible alteration along the fault systems, but the entire strike of the main fault trends is considered prospective.

Target A6 is an area of dark and light-toned superficial soils mapped at in the broad southern area of alluvial outwash. The target is almost directly on-trend with a main north-south fault which outcrops to the north. This target potentially represents a buried mineralised zone at depth, where the north-south faults are intersected by a northeast-trending fault or fold axes.

Targets A7 to A8 are a series of narrow iron-rich ridges possibly associated with deep seated north-south trending faults in the pre-Carboniferous rocks of the eastern part of the mapped area. The orientation of these faults has greater variance than in the younger overthrust sheet to the west, suggesting they have a different, possibly earlier, origin during the formation of an

Upper Proterozoic Rift. These shelf to basin breaks appear to be the key control to mineralisation in several mines in the Carlin area to the west.

Targets A9 to A11 lie on a major structural zone trending northwest-southeast in the northern part of the project area. This area is interpreted as a left lateral strike slip trend that partially terminates and offsets the stratigraphy in the north of Crater Island. Target A11 is located within an area of colluvial and alluvial cover. The dark-toned soils here are thought to be ironrich and may be related to proximal, underlying mineralisation.

Figure 4.2 Western Desert Project - local geology and exploration targets (source: DBO)

A stream sediment programme was completed over the entire project area, covering all of the exploration targets identified by the photogeological interpretation. The samples from this programme were analysed to a low level of detection for gold and a suite of 50 other elements, including those considered as path finders in 'Carlin type' mineralisation. This programme produced numerous geochemically anomalous areas for several elements, including gold and path finder elements, and were grouped into four main clusters, SS1 to SS4 (Figure 4.3). These clusters are closely related to the exploration targets identified by the photogeological mapping.

Figure 4.3 Stream sediment sampling anomalous zones (source: DBO)

Area SS1 includes the Copper Blossom workings and Target A1. Anomalous gold (ppb range) results are present in drainages to the east and west of the Copper Blossom mineralised trend and to the north of Target A1.

Target SS2 surrounds the central north-south structural zone corresponding with the base of the western overthrust carbonate unit over a strike length of 4 km. Mapped Targets A5 and A6 lie within this geochemically anomalous trend defined by elevated values for gold (ppb range), silver, arsenic, mercury and antimony.

Target SS3 is centred on one sample containing elevated values for both gold (ppb range) and silver (ppm range) and corresponds to structural Target A10.

Target SS4 follows the northwest trending, northern bounding structure corresponding to Targets A9 and A10 and contains elevated values for gold (ppb range), tungsten and molybdenum.

4.3.3. MINERALISATION

Observed mineralisation within the project area consists of skarn style gold-copper-silver mineralisation within altered carbonate rocks proximal to intrusive contacts. The observed mineralised zones strike ~290° and dips at around 45° to the south over at least 350 m, possibly extending under cover to the east and at depth to the west.

Prior to acquiring the property in March 2020, Hawkstone collected a total of 22 rocks samples (WDA001 to 022) around the Copper Blossom workings as part of their due diligence on the project

(Appendix B and Figure 4.4). Sampling consisted of mainly grab samples from mullock piles near old workings as well as chip channel sampling along a historic trench (8 m by 30 m) west of the old workings. Copper staining, ex-sulphide textures, stockwork veining and alteration (mainly silicification +/-epidote, garnet, diopside) was noted within limestones, sandy limestones and altered felsic intrusive rocks.

Hawkstone completed several rounds of rock chip sampling in 2020 taking a further 60 samples (WD031 to WD050 and WD061 to WD070, WDM01-07, WDRC01-09). Samples were taken from observed altered and potentially mineralised outcrops in conjunction with the stream sediment sampling of Tertiary drainages across anomalous zones identified during Phase 1 exploration (Appendix B and Figure 4.5). This phase of rock chip sampling shows the widespread nature of the mineralisation and the overall prospectivity of the project area, showing geochemical associations similar to those identified in the stream sediment sampling results.

Optiro notes that rock chip samples may be selectively sampled and may not be representative of the potential mineralisation in the area. The rock samples results should be considered as indicative of mineralising potential only.

4.3.1. GEOPHYSICS

Geophysical surveys consisting of ground magnetics and gravity have been completed to cover Targets A1, A2, A3 and A6. The data is currently being processed and modelled by Resource Potentials.

4.4. EXPLORATION POTENTIAL

The project is considered prospective for Carlin style gold mineralisation. Geological interpretation, mapping, rock chip sampling and stream sediment sampling has demonstrated the presence of both gold and copper mineralisation within the project area. With the close gold-copper association the source of the mineralisation is considered proximal and may be porphyry related.

5. LONE PINE PROJECT

5.1. INTRODUCTION

The Lone Pine Gold Project (Lone Pine Project) comprises two Patented Mining Claims and a further 268 BLM Claims (Table 2.1 and Figure 5.1) covering an area of approximately 21.85 km2 . The project is located within the Salmon National Forest, 10 km northwest of Salmon, Lemhi County, Idaho. Salmon has a population of just over 3,000.

Access to the project area is via Forestry Service roads. The Patented Mining Claims are accessed via the USFS 023 road (Stormy Peak Road) from its junction with highway 93 for approximately 18 km and then heading south-southwest on USFS 020 (Ridge Road) road for approximately 8 km to the junction of USFS 781. A track leading to the Patented Mining Claims is accessed off USFS 781. All roads mentioned, with the exception of highway 93, are moderately improved to unimproved, gravel and dirt roads maintained by the US Forestry Service.

Topographically, the Lone Pine Project is steep with elevations ranging from 5,000 to 7,500 feet above mean sea level (1,500 m to 2,300 m). The average annual precipitation for the city of Salmon is approximately 250 mm per annum with significant winter snow fall (approximately 2.3 m) at the project area. The temperatures reach up to 30°C in June and July with temperatures of -10°C during December and January.

Vegetation on the project area is typical of Rocky Mountain forests and is moderately to heavily forested. Sparse quantities of sagebrush and copious amounts of mountain grasses dominate the lower hillsides and un-forested areas throughout the regional area.

5.2. PREVIOUS EXPLORATION

Placer gold was discovered in 1866 near present-day Leesburg 8 km to the west of the project. Gold was later discovered within the project area at the Lone Pine prospect in 1882. This area was mined as the U.P. and Burlington Mine with the majority of development work completed prior to 1907. This included completing six adits at 30 m vertical intervals (levels) up the mountain side and a shallow shaft (Umpleby, 1913, Figure 5.2). A total of 837 m of workings including; 714 m of drifts, 117 m of raises and a 5.5m shaft were completed. A 10 stamp mill was constructed in 1907 and was operated intermittently for six months (Guewilik, 1935).

The historical King Solomon Mine is located 900 m to the southeast of Lone Pine (U.P. and Burlington Mine) and was reportedly mined for high grade gold between 1890 and 1910 via two adits of 100 m and 207 m in length. In 1990 and 1992, Teck Resources Inc. completed exploration including 18 RC drill holes (Section 5.3.3).

5.3. GEOLOGY

5.3.1. REGIONAL GEOLOGY

The Lone Pine Project contains precious metal occurrences that are spatially and genetically related to the Trans-Challis Fault System (Figure 5.3). This is a broad northeast trending regional structural system that has been traced for over 300 km across the centre of Idaho, from Idaho City and the Boise Basin in the southwest, to the Montana border beyond the city of Salmon, in the northeast (Figure 5.3). The Boise Basin, at the southwest end of the Trans-Challis Fault System produced 2.9 million ounces of gold from 1863 to 1980, more gold than any other mining locality in Idaho.

The Trans-Challis Fault system is Eocene in age and is considered a major zone of rifting and crustal extension. Hydrothermal activity associated with this event have formed mineralisation within domes, grabens, faults zones and fractures. Deposits are hosted in a number of varied lithologies including Eocene intrusive rocks, Pre-Cambrian sedimentary and intrusive rocks, Palaeozoic intrusive and sedimentary rocks and Tertiary volcanics and dykes.

Figure 5.3 Regional setting of the Lone Pine Project within the Trans-Challis Fault System (after Johnson et al, 1988)

5.3.2. LOCAL GEOLOGY

The Lone Pine Project overlies Proterozoic intrusive and meta-sedimentary lithologies which outcrop within the project area. The geological setting is similar to that seen at the Beartrack Mine located 8 km to the west being explored by Revival Gold Inc. The mineralised quartz-filled structure/shear hosting the Lone Pine vein zone is associated with a steeply dipping, northeast striking contact between granitoid and sedimentary rocks. The granitoid is medium to coarse grained, xenolithic and generally massive. Discrete fault/shear zones occur in the granitoid in several localities, that are generally orientated northeast or northwest. The metasedimentary rocks are part of the Yellowjacket Formation and comprise grey to dark grey fine grained, bedded quartzites and phyllites.

The historical King Solomon Mine is located 900 m southeast of the Lone Pine vein zone and is interpreted to be part of the same structural system. Several northeast trending quartz alteration mineralised fault/shear zones (argillic-sericite dominated) are hosted within folded Proterozoic sediments and granitoids (Figure 5.4).

Much of the project area is covered by varying thicknesses of glacial till and scree on mountain slopes. Outcrop is limited and the majority of the geology comes from mapping by previous explorers and a photogeological interpretation.

The bedrock geology is dominated by basement gneiss overlain by sediments of the Yellowjacket formation intruded by later granite plugs. Structurally, the project lies within the Trans-Challis Fault system and is dominated by northeast trending fault zones with mapped oblique northwest and northnorthwest to north trending structures.

5.3.3. MINERALISATION

Lone Pine

At the Lone Pine vein zone, gold mineralisation is hosted within a northeast striking, steep northwest dipping quartz vein zone. A quartz vein lies on the footwall of the zone with an overlying clay filled fault zone, historically known as gouge, forming the hanging wall.

Ferruginous quartz vein material is abundant as float across the area, along a strike length of over 500 m, along within remnant mullock piles adjacent to the adits. At surface, the quartz vein material is generally yellow-brown to orange-brown, heavily ferruginous with evidence of ex-sulphide textures. Alteration and mineralisation within the adjacent granite and sedimentary rocks consists mainly of silicification with 3 to 5% disseminated pyrite.

During 2020, Hawkstone completed 11 diamond drill holes (LPDD01 to LPDD11) totalling 677.55 m (Figure 5.5). Drill hole details and significant intercepts (reported as down hole lengths) are included in Table 5.1. Holes have been drilled approximately perpendicular to the vein zone orientation, and approximate true widths of the intercepts range from 55% to 85% of the intersected widths, depending on the dip of the hole and assuming a continuous 80° dip of the mineralised zone.

King Solomon

The historical King Solomon Mine is located 900 m to the southeast of the Lone Pine vein zone and the mineralisation is interpreted to be part of the same mineralised system. The mine was explored in the early 1900s via three adits (the east, west and northeast).

Several northeast trending quartz mineralised fault/shear zones (argillic-sericite dominant alteration) are hosted within folded Proterozoic sediments and granitoids. Up to three northeast striking and interpreted southeast dipping vein systems have been observed within the west and east adits at King Solomon.

Broad gold mineralised intervals were returned by historical sampling from two of the adits at King Solomon. In the 1990s, the east and west adits at King Solomon were opened to allow underground mapping and sampling. The northeast adit was collapsed but this work defined a broad northeast trending zone dipping 65 degrees to the southeast.

Previous explorers completed 18 reverse circulation drill holes across the King Solomon area (Figure 5.6). The drilling was completed in the early 1990s in two phases. The drilling is considered to be historical and may not have been completed in accordance with modern standards. For reference, collar details for these drill holes are provided in Appendix C

In 2020, Hawkstone completed reconnaissance exploration across the Lone Pine and King Solomon areas, collecting a total of 131 rock samples (Figure 5.7). These samples were dispatched to ALS laboratories for multi-element analysis. The samples were collected from several areas considered prospective for gold mineralisation following a review of the regional geology, mineralisation and previous exploration. Regional reconnaissance work located several areas of mineralisation, both within existing the Lone Pine project claims and in the immediate surrounds along prospective structural trends. Evidence of old workings, either shallow prospecting pits or shallow adits, were also noted at several locations. The assay results are highly encouraging and may be indicative of a potentially larger mineralised system.

Better results include:

  • LP045 (float/dump): interpreted to be the northeast extension of the Lone Pine mineralised trend, assaying 0.98 g/t gold and 2.93 g/t silver from ferruginous quartz vein material.
  • LP083 (float/dump): assaying 6.30 g/t gold and 3.03 g/t silver from ferruginous sediment in an old prospecting pit.
  • LP090 (float/dump): assaying 1.59 g/t gold from ferruginous quartz veining/sedimentary rock.
  • LP093 (float/dump): assaying 8.15 g/t gold and 8.25 g/t silver from ferruginous quartz veining/sedimentary rock near an old adit.
  • LP096 (float/dump): assaying 1.38 g/t gold and 1.63 g/t silver.
  • LP097 (float/dump): assaying 19.9 g/t gold and 6.6 g/t silver from ferruginous quartz veining/sedimentary rock near an old adit.
  • LP100 (float/dump): assaying 2.15 g/t gold from ferruginous cherty vein material with exsulphide textures.
  • LP113 (float/dump): assaying 24.7 g/t gold and 28.1 g/t silver from ferruginous cherty vein material with ex-sulphide textures near an old adit.
  • LP114 (float/dump): assaying 19.6 g/t gold and 12.25 g/t silver from sheared, ferruginous quartz vein material near an old adit.
  • LP115 (float/dump): assaying 3.09 g/t gold and 45.5 g/t silver from white, massive ferruginous quartz vein material near an old adit (LP113115 collected from same area).
  • LPGK20002 (float): assaying 13.25 g/t gold and 4.54 g/t silver located west of Lone Pine mineralised trend.

All rock sample results and details are provided in Appendix D. Optiro notes that rock chip samples may be selectively sampled and may not be representative of the potential mineralisation in the area. The rock samples should be considered as indicative of mineralising potential only.

Generally, anomalous silver, bismuth, cobalt, copper, and lead values correlate with anomalous gold. Both Hawkstone and previous explorers have noted the influence of coarse gold in assay results and as such the presence of elevated pathfinder elements is considered as an additional positive indicator for potential gold mineralisation to be present even if initial gold assay values are low. Several reconnaissance samples returned low level gold assay results but with associated elevated pathfinder elements. Assay values ranged from below detection (<0.01) to 24.6 g/t for gold and 0.01 to 45.5 g/t silver for the assays received.

5.4. EXPLORATION POTENTIAL

The Lone Pine Project contains precious metal occurrences spatially and is genetically related to the Eocene age Trans-Challis Fault System, a major zone of rifting and crustal extension. The mineralised quartz-filled structure/shear hosting the Lone Pine vein zone is associated with a steeply dipping, northeast striking contact between granitoid and sediments. Further work is required to demonstrate the continuity and economic potential of the mineralisation.

6. WORK PROGRAMME

DBO has developed an exploration budget for its three project areas based on its minimum subscription of \$6.5 M which is summarised in Table 6.1 to Table 6.3. The exploration budget is based on staged expenditure at all three projects with the remaining funds allocated on a priority basis.

The majority of the exploration budgets are allotted to drilling the various drill-ready targets within the three projects, most notably at the Devil's Canyon and Western Desert Projects together with supportive geophysical, mapping and geochemical surveys. Optiro has reviewed the proposed twoyear budget and it is considered appropriate and reasonable for the mineralisation styles within the projects and the stage of exploration.

SECTION 1 SAMPLING TECHNIQUES AND DATA

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 down-hole
gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc.).
These examples should not be taken as limiting the
broad meaning of sampling.

A total of 66 rock reconnaissance geochemical samples were collected as grab samples from historically existing
mining and exploration workings. This includes samples from sites such as mine dumps, prospect pits and trenches
and adjacent mineralised outcrop or subcrop/float. Equipment used was predominately a handheld
hammer for the
collection of rock fragments.

All field exploration work was completed by Harrison Land
Services
LLC, a Utah based company.

The samples are for reconnaissance purposes and no measures have been taken to ensure sample representivity.
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.
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.).

No drilling has been completed
by the Company.
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.

No drilling has been completed by the Company.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
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.
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

No drilling has been completed by the Company.
Sub-sampling
techniques and
intersections logged.
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter,
half or all core taken.

Grab samples were placed directly into calico bags at the site location from which they were collected.

No repeat or check samples have yet been submitted for analysis.
sample
preparation
If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary
split, etc. and whether sampled wet or dry.

Each sample was weighed at the preparation laboratory and the weights recorded along with the analytical results.

No specific quality control procedure has been adopted for the collection of samples.
For all sample types, the nature, quality and

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 down-hole
gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc.).
These examples should not be taken as limiting the
broad meaning of sampling.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure
sample representivity
and the appropriate
calibration of any measurement tools or systems
used.
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that
are Material to the Public Report. In cases where
'industry standard' work has been done this would be
relatively simple (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.

A total of 60
rock, 34 soil and 289 stream sediment reconnaissance geochemical samples were collected. Rock
samples were collected as grab samples from historically existing mining and exploration workings.
This includes
samples from sites such as mine dumps, prospect pits and
trenches and adjacent mineralised outcrop or
subcrop/float.
Equipment used was predominately a handheld
hammer for the collection of rock fragments.

Soil samples were collected using -2.0
mm sieve from material excavated 15

Approximately
300

Stream samples were collected as sieved samples from base of bedload in defined drainages.
Approximately 300
to
400
g of material was collected at each site. Locations were determined via handheld GPS.

techniques,
maximum
and/or
minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high
grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material
and should be stated.

No
upper
cut off grades have been applied to the reported weighted averages
for drilling. With further
results and
an increase in the data size,
the statistical distribution of the results will

SECTION 1 SAMPLING TECHNIQUES AND DATA

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 down-hole
gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc.).
These examples should not be taken as limiting the
broad meaning of sampling.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure
sample representivity and the appropriate
calibration of any measurement tools or systems
used.

A total of 18
RC drill holes for 2,743
m was completed in 1990
and 1992 by Teck.

All sampling was undertaken by previous operators. While results of previous sampling programmes have been
documented in numerous formal (historical) reports, the details of sampling and assay procedures is not fully recorded
in these reports and are currently unknown.

The historical results are considered indicative of the presence of mineralisation. The drill samples from the KS90
series drill programme
were taken from 1.5
m of RC drill cuttings from which an unknown amount was pulverised to
produce a charge for fire assay. Coarse gold was noted and mentioned in the reports but there is only one mention
of screen fire assaying on the adit samples.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
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.
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.).

A vehicle mounted RC rig was utilised. No further details are available on the historical drilling.
Drill sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and chip
sample recoveries and results assessed.

Available historical reports do not provide any details of sampling techniques and sample preparation for samples
taken from the RC drilling at the King Solomon prospect.
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.
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.

Historical logs are only available for the KS90 series RC drill holes. The remainder of the information has been taken
from various reports and cross sections.

Hawkstone Mining Ltd. ATTN: Paul Lloyd 24 Outram Street West Perth, West Australia 6005

Re: Limited Title Report concerning Mining Tenements

Lone Pine Project, Lemhi County, Idaho Devils Canyon Project, Eureka and White Pine Counties, Nevada Western Desert Project, Box Elder County, Utah

Dear Paul:

At the request of Hawkstone Mining Ltd. ("Hawkstone" or the "Company"), this limited title report on mining tenements ("Report") has been prepared for inclusion in the Notice of Meeting to be issued by Hawkstone to be dated on or about August 4, 2021 (the "Notice of Meeting"), under which Hawkstone will be seeking shareholder approval to spin out its three wholly owned subsidiaries (as detailed below) into a separately held entity, Diablo Resources Limited ("Diablo") ("Spin-out"). In connection with the Spin-out, Diablo will be issuing a prospectus to be dated on or about August 16, 2021, pursuant to which Diablo is proposing an initial public offering of its securities for the purposes of seeking admission to the Official List of the ASX in Australia ("Prospectus"). This Report has also been prepared for inclusion in the Prospectus. Unless otherwise defined, all capitalized terms in this report, are defined in accordance with the Prospectus.

I. DESCRIPTION OF TENEMENTS

This report concerns United States tenements in which the Company currently holds an apparent interest through its three wholly owned subsidiaries:

(1) Ounces High Exploration Inc., who is the record owner of two privately owned patented mining claims (the "Patented Claims") and 268 unpatented federal mining claims located in Lemhi County, Idaho subject to paramount ownership by the United States of America (the "Lone Pine Claims") and more particularly described on Schedule 1 of Exhibit A;

(2) Hawkstone Nevada Inc., who is the record owner of 90 federal unpatented mining claims located in Eureka and White Pine Counties, Nevada, subject to paramount ownership by the United States of America (the "Devils Canyon Claims") and more particularly described on Schedule 2 of Exhibit A; and

(3) Roughead Resources Inc.,1 who is the record owner of 257 federal unpatented mining claims located in Box Elder County, Utah subject to paramount ownership by the United States of America (the "Western Desert Claims"), and a leasehold interest as lessee under that certain Utah State Lease (as defined below) and more particularly described on Schedule 3 of Exhibit A.

Collectively, the Lone Pine Claims, Devils Canyon Claims, and Western Desert Claims are referred to as the "Unpatented Claims."

The Unpatented Claims are situated on lands owned by the United States of America and are administered by the United States Bureau of Land Management ("BLM"). A mining claim is a property interest created pursuant to the Mining Law of 1872, which prescribes rules for staking lode or placer mining claims on public lands (the "Mining Law"). The Mining Law also provides a procedure for claimants to purchase a valid mining claim in fee simple absolute from the federal government; however, the U.S. Congress imposed a moratorium on any new patents under the Mining Law effective September 30, 1994.

The Patented Claims, Unpatented Claims, and State Lease are sometimes collectively referred to in this Report as the Tenements.

Attached to and referenced in this report are the following Exhibits, which should be considered part of this report:

1. The record owner of the 257 federal unpatented mining claims located in Box Elder County, Utah is Roughead Resources Inc., subject to paramount ownership by the United States of America.

2. Roughead Resources Inc. is the lessee of the Utah State Lease which covers the following state lands:

Township 4 North, Range 17 West, SLB&M Section 2: Lots 1, 2, 3, 4, S/2N/2, S/2 (All) - 696.09 acres Section 16 All - 640.00 acres

Township 5 North, Range 17 West, SLB&M Section 36: All - 640.00 acres

Containing approximately 1,976.09 acres, more or less.

V. ROYALTIES AND MATERIAL AGREEMENTS AFFECTING THE TENEMENTS

Based solely upon the title evidence examined (particularly, the Wolcott Report), and subject to the comments, qualifications, and exceptions set forth below, it appears that as of the effective date:

A. Patented Claims.

1. Bitterroot-Salmon 3% NSR Royalty (Idaho).

We understand that pursuant to the unrecorded Bitterroot-Salmon Documents, the U.P. and Burlington patented mining claims are subject to a 3% net smelter return royalty ("NSR") based on the spot sale proceeds received less all of the offsite smelting, refining and transportation costs associated with the purification of the economic metals to the extent that such costs are actually incurred, subject to certain increases or decreases depending on production held by Bitterroot-Salmon Conservation Project, LLC (the "Bitterroot-Salmon Royalty").

  • B. Unpatented Claims.
  • 1. Nedeel, LLC/Syncline 3% NSR Royalty and Fees (Nevada).

Pursuant to that certain Deed with Reservation and Grant of Royalty dated effective November 6, 2020, recorded December 21, 2020 as Doc. No. 2020-387614 in the White Pine County, Nevada public records, and recorded December 21, 2020 as Doc. No. 2020-243218 in the Eureka County, Nevada public records (collectively the "DC Royalty Grant"), the 90 Devils Canyon Claims are subject to the following interests held equally by Nedeel, LLC and Syncline Consulting, LLC:

  • a 3% fee on all Exploration and Development Work Expenditures (as defined in the deed) incurred by Hawkstone Nevada Inc. up until the commencement of commercial production ("Exploration Fee"), which converts to 3% net smelter return royalty upon the commencement of commercial production (collectively referred to as the "DC Royalty"); and
  • an annual fee of U.S. \$15,000.00 for so long as the company is the owner of record title to the Devils Canyon Claims (the "Annual Fee").

Hawkstone Nevada Inc. has the option to purchase the Annual Fee, Exploration Fee, and DC Royalty at any time during the four years from the date of Completion of the acquisition of the Devils Canyon Claims (November 24, 2020) by tendering a payment of U.S. \$3,000,000.00 in cash, or if otherwise mutually agreed, the shares of Hawkstone Mining Limited (ACN 008 720 223), or a combination of cash and shares.

The DC Royalty Grant further provides that any additions to the Devils Canyon Claims resulting from the parties' location of unpatented claims within the boundaries of the Devils Canyon Claims and an Area of Interest, which we understand is approximately within five (5) kilometers of the current external boundaries of the DP 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, and 12 claims, are also subject to a 3% production royalty based on Net Smelter Returns, which is included in Hawkstone Nevada Inc.'s option to purchase the Royalty, as set forth above.

C. Utah State Lease.

Roughead Resources Inc. has a leasehold interest as the lessee under that certain Utah State Lease for Metalliferous Minerals from the State of Utah, through the School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration ("SITLA"), as lessor, which covers approximately 1,976.09 acres, more or less, within Sections 2 and 16 of Township 4 North, Range 17 West, SLB&M, and Section 36 of Township 5 North, Range 17 West, SLB&M. Based on the Contract Serial Register Page, the Utah State Lease is in "active" status and Roughead Resources Inc. is reflected as the record title holder.

While the Utah State Lease should be reviewed in its entirety for its terms and conditions, some of the material terms of the Utah State Lease include:

Scope of Grant. The Utah State Lease grants Roughead Resources Inc. the exclusive right and privilege to explore for, drill for, mine, remove, transport,

convey, cross-haul, commingle, and sell "Metalliferous Minerals"3 with the right and privilege to use of the surface4 and subsurface for uses reasonably incident to mining under the lease or on nearby or adjacent lands mined in connection with the lease area. See Utah State Lease, Section 2.

  • Reservation of Rights. Subject to the rights granted, SITLA reserves the right to establish rights of way and easements (following consultation with the lessee), grant other minerals leases (other than for Metalliferous Mineral), and use the surface estate and lands for any other rights not granted to Roughead Resources Inc. See Utah State Lease, Section 3.
  • Term. The Utah State Lease is dated effective August 1, 20205 and has a primary term of 10 years from such date ending on July 31, 2030, and may be extended (1) if and for so long as leased substances are being produced in paying quantities, or (2) if at the end of the primary term SITLA determines that: (i) the Minimum Royalty has been paid, and (ii)(a) the lessee is engaged in diligent operations, exploration or development activity, or (b) the lessee is making a substantial financial investment, which for each of (a) and (b) in SITLA's sole discretion is calculated to advance development or production of leased substances from the property. See Utah State Lease, Section 5. Under any extension, including every 10 years following the primary term, SITLA retains the right to readjust the terms and conditions of the Utah State Lease.
  • Annual Rent. The Utah State Lease requires an annual rent of \$1.00 for each acre and fractional acre under the lease, but in no event less than \$500.00 per year. Such payment is due August 16 each year (i.e. the anniversary of the lease effective date) and may be credited against the Production Royalty for that particular lease year. See Utah State Lease, Section 6.2.

3 Metalliferous Minerals are classified and defined to include "aluminum, antimony, arsenic, beryllium, bismuth, chromium, cadmium, cesium, columbium, cobalt, copper, fluorspar, gallium, gold, germanium, hafnium, iron, indium, lead, mercury, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, platinum, group metals, radium, silver, selenium, scandium, rare earth metals, rhenium, tantalum, tin, thorium, titanium, tungsten, thallium, tellurium, vanadium, uranium, ytterbium, zinc, and zirconium" under Utah Administrative Code R850-25-100(1)(a).

4 Please note that Section 4 of the Utah State Lease provides that the lessee's right to use the surface estate is subject to "if SITLA manages the surface estate". Further, "[i]f SITLA does not manage the surface estate of any portion of the Property, nothing in this Lease grants Lessee access to such surface estate." It may be helpful to reach out to SITLA for further clarification as to whether SITLA owns and/or manages the surface estate. 5

Please note that there is a discrepancy with respect to the Effective Date between the Contract Serial Register and the Utah State Lease. The Contract Serial Register provides for a start date of August 1, 2020 and an end date of July 31, 2030. However, a calculation of the Effective Date using the definitions of Effective Date and Execution Date set forth in the Utah State Lease would result in an Effective Date of September 1, 2020 with the term ending on August 31, 2030.

6 The August 1 payment date is based on the dates set forth in the Contract Serial Register. However, if the Effective Date is actually September 1, 2020 as described in footnote 5 above, the payment dates would be adjusted to September 1 each year. It may be helpful to clarify with SITLA the expected payment dates.

  • Production Royalty. A production royalty of 8% is due on the Gross Value of fissionable leased substances and 4% of the Gross Value of non-fissionable leased substances, both f.o.b. the mine, sold under an arm's length transaction. See Utah State Lease, Section 6.3(b); see also Section 6.3(d) (regarding provisions applicable to non-arm's length transactions).
  • Minimum Royalty. After the primary term and beginning on the 11th year of the Utah State Lease and until termination, an advance annual minimum royalty equal to three times the Annual Rent due and may be credited against the Production Royalty in the same lease year. It appears the Minimum Royalty payments are due a year in advance and the first payments would become due on or before the 10th anniversary of the Utah State Lease. See Utah State Lease, Section 6.3(a).
  • Process Fee. A transportation and process fee is also due on any minerals produced from adjacent properties defined generally as "Offsite Leased Substances", but utilize SITLA leased lands specifically any substances that are (1) removed from mine workings, portals, or wells located on the leased property and transported offsite or processed on site, or (2) extracted from non-SITLA lands and transported to the leased property for processing at a facility located on the leased property. This fee is 4% of the Gross Value of fissionable and 2% of the Gross Value of nonfissionable Offsite Leased Substances. See Utah State Lease, Section 6.3(c).
  • Plan of Operations and Other Permitting Requirements. Although the Utah State Lease has a broad grant, Roughead Resources Inc. remains subject to State of Utah permitting and operating requirements, including obtaining approval of a plan of operations in order to use the surface estate for mining uses and other permitting requirements. See Utah State Lease, Sections 4, 10, 12, and 13.
  • Restoration/Reclamation Obligations. The lessee is required to remove all improvements, equipment, stockpiles and dumps from the leased property within six months following the termination of the Utah State Lease; provided, SITLA may require the lessee to retain in place certain underground supports and installations. Further, following the termination of the Utah State Lease, the lessee is required to reclaim the leased property in accordance with applicable law. See Utah State Lease, Section 12.
  • Change of Control. Any transfer of (i) any voting capital stock or ownership interests of the lessee, or (ii) any voting capital stock or ownership interests of any entity that directly or indirectly controls the lessee, which in either event results in a change in the direct or indirect voting control of the lessee or any entity that directly or indirect controls the lessee requires the prior consent of SITLA, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld. See Utah State Lease, Section 17.1.
  • Operating Covenant. It is an Event of Default under the Utah State Lease if the lessee ceases operations for a period of 90 consecutive days or a total of 180 days

within a 365-day period, without the prior consent of SITLA. See Utah State Lease, Section 18.1(g).

As indicated, the Utah State Lease contains additional terms and conditions typical of a lease of state lands and for additional details, should be reviewed in its entirety.

VI. COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

A. Patented Mining Claims.

1. Pre-Patent Title Issues and Notes of Interest.

The Wolcott Report dated January 28, 2020 identifies certain conditions or notes of interest that either pre-date issuance of the patent for the Patented Claims or involve a minor name discrepancy in 1952. As previously indicated, prior to the September 30, 1994 moratorium on issuance of a patent (i.e. conveyance from the United States government), the Mining Law provided a procedure for claimants to purchase a valid mining claim in fee simple absolute from the federal government. The Patented Claims were acquired under such procedure. In general, issuance of the patent out of such procedures would resolve any pre-patent issues concerning the Patented Claims. Likewise, the Lot Book Report does not identify any name discrepancy issues and as a result, our review indicates that title to the Patented Claims for the conditions and notes of interest reflected in the Wolcott Reports would be defensible.

Comment. Primarily advisory. Given the number of years that have passed since these title issues, we anticipate any claims concerning these issues would be defensible on the basis of issuance of the mineral survey patent from the United States, adverse possession, laches, estoppel or other grounds.

2. Memorializing Bitterroot-Salmon Royalty.

As indicated in Section V.A.1, the two Patented Claims are subject to the 3% NSR royalty held by Bitterroot-Salmon Conservation Project, LLC. Currently, this royalty is not reflected of record, however, Hawkstone through its subsidiary, Ounces High Exploration Inc., has acknowledged and agreed to reasonably cooperate with Bitterroot-Salmon Conservation Project, LLC to execute and record a royalty assignment in a form contemplated under the Bitterroot-Salmon Documents.

Comment. Primarily advisory. However, if the Patented Claims are conveyed or otherwise transferred before any royalty documentation is placed of record, Ounces High Exploration Inc. should confirm that any third party buyer or transferee is placed on notice of the Bitterroot-Salmon

Royalty interest and such obligations to record a royalty assignment.

  • B. Unpatented Mining Claims.
  • 1. Claim Staking and Filing Requirements.

In order to stake and locate a federal unpatented mining claim, a mining claimant must comply with both federal and state law requirements. 43 C.F.R. § 3832.11. Under BLM regulations, mining claimants have 90 days within which to file a notice or certificate of location for each claim with the BLM after staking, which timeframe runs from the date of location. The additional state-specific requirements applicable to staking and location are summarized below.

  • Idaho Lone Pine Claims.7 To locate a lode mining claim in Idaho, a locator must, upon discovery of a valuable mineral, erect a monument at one corner or angle of the claim (known as a location monument) and post a written notice of location thereon. Before recording the notice of location, the locator must distinctly mark the boundaries of the claim and place a location monument at each corner of the claim. A copy of the notice of location must be recorded with the county recorder where the claim is located within 90 days after the date of location of the claim.
  • Nevada Devils Canyon Claims.8 To locate a lode mining claim in Nevada, the locator must, upon discovery of a valuable mineral, erect a location monument at the place of discovery and post a written notice of location thereon. The locator must also distinctly mark the boundaries of the claim by placing a monument at each corner of the claim within 60 days after posting the notice of location. Duplicate certificates of location and two copies of a map showing the claim boundaries must be recorded with the county recorder where the claims are located within 90 days after the posting the notice of location.
  • Utah Western Pine Claims.9 To locate a lode mining claim in Utah, the locator must, upon discovery of a valuable mineral, erect a location monument at the place of discovery and post a written notice of location thereon. The locator must also distinctly mark the boundaries of the claim on the ground. A certificate of location and a map showing the claim boundaries must be recorded with the relevant County Recorder within 30 days after the date of location of the claim. A copy of the location certificate and a map showing the claim boundaries must also be filed with the relevant state BLM office within 90 days after the date of location.

Comment. Based primarily on our review of the Wolcott Reports, the notices or certificates of location for the

7 See Idaho Code §§ 47-601 et seq.

8 See Nevada Revised Statute §§ 517.010 et seq.

9 See Utah Code Ann. §§ 40-1-1 et seq.

Unpatented Claims (except the claims discussed in Comments VI.B.3 and VI.B.4, which we understand are recently filed and still under BLM review) have been timely filed with BLM and recorded in accordance with state requirements. We have no knowledge, however, as to the proper completion of the physical acts of claim staking, as such matters are/are not verifiable from the public records and we have not made a physical inspection of the Tenements.

2. Idaho - LP Claim Filing with BLM and Postage Rule.

As indicated above, under BLM regulations, mining claimants have 90 days within which to file notices or certificates of location for their claims with the BLM after staking, which timeframe runs from the date of location. Based on our review, the LP-020 through LP-075, contained within the Lone Peak Claims in Idaho, were located on November 21, 2019 and the certificates of location dated received by BLM on February 19, 2020. The timeframe between these dates is 92 days.

While typically failure to timely file a certificate of location with BLM within the 90-day timeframe would result in the claim being declared abandoned and void by operation of law,10 BLM regulations expressly provide for a postage rule that extends this timeframe in limited circumstances. In particular, BLM regulations provide that a copy of the notice or certificate of location is properly recorded and filed if a document is (1) received by BLM on or before the due date; or (2) postmarked or otherwise clearly identified as sent on or before the due date and received by the appropriate BLM state office within 15 calendar days after the due date or on the next business day after the 15th day if the 15th day is not a business day. 43 C.F.R. § 3830.5; see also BLM Handbook, H-3830-1, p. III-10.

From additional documents requested from the BLM for the LP-020 through LP-0075 claims, we understand that such claims were mailed via United States Postal Service with tracking on February 13, 2020, and accordingly, such certificates of location were timely postmarked before the 90-day deadline, February 17, 2020 and received within 15 calendar days after such postmark on February 19, 2020. A similar notation appears on BLM's online records for the claims. Absent the request for these additional documents, no other documentation appears to be included in the main BLM Lead File regarding application of BLM's postage rule. As a result, despite the fact that BLM has accepted the claims for filing, a third party could raise a challenge to the LP-020 through LP-075 claims, but such challenge would be defensible for the reasons stated above.

Comment: Primarily advisory. Out of an abundance of caution, Ounces High Exploration Inc. could consider contacting BLM to confirm whether such other documentation could be included in the BLM Lead File to

10 See 43 C.F.R. § 3833.1.

clarify and otherwise confirm application of BLM's postage rule and to offset any potential challenges to the extent the discussion above regarding BLM's postage rule is not readily apparent from the file.

3. Idaho - Newly Located Claims.

We understand from the Wolcott Reports that 18 new federal unpatented mining claims (the LP EXT2-251 through LP EXT2-268) have been recently staked on December 8, 2020 and submitted to BLM for filing. While the claims are listed as "filed" on the BLM online records, we understand that such claims are still under review and documentation concerning these claims will not be available until the claims have been adjudicated by BLM. BLM adjudication generally involves a review to confirm the filings meet BLM requirements and a land evaluation, including confirmation that the claims are located on lands open to mineral entry and a limited evaluation on whether there are any other conflicts in the BLM's public land records.

Comment: Primarily advisory. The LP EXT2-251 through LP EXT2-268 claims remain subject to BLM further review and adjudication and state recording requirements as noted above, however, until such review is completed, Ounces High Exploration Inc. has a priority right in the date of the location for these claims. Upon completion of adjudication such adjudication, Ounce High Exploration Inc. may want to complete a further review of the BLM records for these claims.

4. Nevada - Newly Located Claims.

We understand from a review of the BLM online records for Hawkstone Nevada Inc. that 90 new federal unpatented mining claims (the DP 3-5, DP 10-12 and the Devils Canyon-001 through 84) have been recently staked on June 22, 2021 and June 23, 2021 and submitted to BLM for filing. While the claims are listed as "filed" on the BLM online records, we understand that such claims are still under review and documentation concerning these claims will not be available until the claims have been adjudicated by BLM. BLM adjudication generally involves a review to confirm the filings meet BLM requirements and a land evaluation, including confirmation that the claims are located on lands open to mineral entry and a limited evaluation on whether there are any other conflicts in the BLM's public land records.

Comment: Primarily advisory. The DP 3-5, DP 10-12 and the Devils Canyon-001 through 84 claims remain subject to BLM further review and adjudication and state recording requirements as noted above, however, until such review is completed, Hawkstone Nevada Inc. has a priority right in the date of the location for these claims. Upon completion of adjudication such adjudication, Hawkstone Nevada Inc. may

want to complete a further review of the BLM records for these claims.

5. Utah - Closed WD 002 Claim.

We understand that the Western Desert Claims originally included 258 federal unpatented mining claims, but based on our review, one of the claims has been closed based on BLM's review. In particular, Roughead Resources Inc. located the WD 002 unpatented lode claim (UMC446169) and submitted such certificate of location to the BLM. BLM notified the company that there was a problem with the tie description on the notice of location and requested that the company submit an amended notice of location within 30 days. Based on Decision Notice in the BLM Lead File dated September 23, 2020, because BLM had not received the amended notice of location within the time specified, BLM determined that the claim was forfeited. We have been provided no information on whether the company has appealed the decision. As a result, such claim has been closed and absent relocation of a new claim, Roughead Resources Inc. has no interest in the lands previously covered by the WD 002 claim.

Comment: Primarily advisory. Roughead Resources may want to consider whether to locate a new claim covering the ground previously occupied by the WD 002 claim.

6. Utah - Western Desert Claims Name Discrepancy.

In order to properly stake and locate an unpatented mining claim, a notice and certificate of location must include certain information, including the claimant name. As indicated in the Wolcott Reports, the certificates of location for the WD-031 through WD 258 claims refer to "Roughhead Resources Inc." instead of "Roughead Resources Inc." resulting in a name discrepancy. This error appears to be a clerical or scrivener's error, and accordingly, it appears that such discrepancy can be addressed through an amendment to these claims to clarify and correct the original certificate of location.

Under BLM regulations, a claimant can amend a mining claim if there is a clerical error in the certificate of location, and the amendment will relate back to the original date of location and does not affect the priority or the status of the claim. 43 C.F.R. § 3833.21. Amendments can be made at any time by filing an amended certificate of location with BLM within 90 days after the amendment is recorded in the relevant county recorder's office, along with payment of a processing fee. 43 C.F.R. § 3833.22. Utah statute does not provide further guidance or requirements in order to complete an amendment, however, such amendment should at a minimum contain the same information required in a certificate of location.

Comment: We understand that Roughead Resources Inc. has filed and recorded amended certificates of location with BLM and the Box Elder County Recorder's Office to correct or otherwise clarify the name discrepancy on the certificates of location for the WD-031 through WD-258 claims,

however, we have not reviewed copies of the recorded documents.

7. Claimant Addresses.

For each of the Hawkstone subsidiaries, we noticed the following addresses on file with BLM for the Unpatented Claims. Hawkstone should confirm these are the correct addresses for each entity, or update such addresses as necessary with BLM, to ensure each of the entities timely receives correspondence or any notices from the agency.

  • Idaho Lone Peak Claims. Ounces High Exploration Inc., 4691 Luna Cir., Moab, Utah 84632-9708.
  • Nevada Devils Canyon Claims. Hawkstone Nevada Inc., 3500 Washington Ave., # 200, Houston, Texas 77007-5945.
  • Utah Western Desert Claims. Roughead Resources Inc., 3500 Washington Ave., Ste. 200, Houston, Texas 77007-5945.

Comment: Primarily advisory. The claimant's address generally may be updated by providing notice to BLM.

8. Overlapping Claims and Claim Conflicts.

A mining claim can overlap fee lands or other mining claims, so long as its location monument (and, ultimately, actual discovery of a valuable mineral deposit) is situated on federal lands open to locatable mineral entry. Claim conflicts around the edges of a property are quite common and such perimeter conflicts might exist here. In general, such overlaps are both permissible and common, but only one of the conflicting claims (the senior valid claim) can control the ground within the conflict area. The claim is invalid only in the areas of overlap. With respect to any overlaps of any Unpatented Claim on privately owned fee property, the claim owner, of course, acquires no interest in the private land, but does appropriate all public land within the claim boundaries.

In our limited review of the BLM LR2000 Geographical Index to Mining Claims (particularly, the examination conducted in the Wolcott Reports) for potentially adjacent and overlapping claims, we identified other third party claims nearby, adjacent and surrounding the Lone Pine Claims in Idaho. Outside of these potentially adjacent and overlapping claims, we did not identify any specific conflicting or overlapping claims, however, our review is not exhaustive and limited to a document review which is not conducive to identifying claim conflicts. We have not endeavored to determine, any claim conflicts that may exist on the ground, in the case of such claim conflicts, which claims control the conflict areas, as all of the Unpatented Claims. We separately note the following further limitations on our review that the Company should be aware of:

  • No Review of Geological Data. The geologic significance, if any, of any potential conflict areas described above is outside the scope of the title records we examined, and thus we have no knowledge regarding that subject.
  • Records Available and Delay in Record Filings. As noted above, mining claimants have 90 days within which to file a notice or certificate of location for their claims with the BLM. Newly located claims, therefore, might not show up in the BLM records for 90 days after location. Given the 90-day filing window, there is no way to determine with certainty the existence of newly located conflicting claims without careful examination of the ground for rival location notices, which we have not done. It is therefore possible that conflicts could exist on the ground that are not disclosed by the records examined.
  • Prior Overlapping Closed Claims. We have not attempted to determine the boundaries of, or possible conflicts associated with unpatented claims that may have existed at the time of location of the Unpatented Claims, but which have since been terminated. Even though such claims no longer exist, such prior existing conflicts could affect the validity of the Unpatented Claims because of the possibility that a location monument for a claim could have been located atop a then-valid senior unpatented claim.
  • BLM Geographic Index Inaccuracies. The BLM geographic claim index describes the location of claims only by quarter-section. The index may contain inaccuracies and the filed materials upon which the indexing is based may be inaccurate. Likewise, the individual claim maps filed by the locators may contain inaccuracies. Thus, the position of the Unpatented Claims and of any other claims in the area with respect to the Unpatented Claims cannot be determined with exactitude. A field examination might reveal that there are conflicting rights by reason of the presence of conflicting claims not identified in the title information examined.

In addition, the actual placement of location and corner monuments on the ground controls over any contradictory written descriptions. We cannot and do not know where the controlling claim corners and location monuments physically lie for the Unpatented Claims (or any other claims), nor do we know the degree of accuracy used in staking the Unpatented Claims (or any other claims), so as to be able to conclusively identify all possible conflicts.

Comment: Primarily advisory. Prior to exploration and development activities, Hawkstone may want to further complete a site inspection and ground review to confirm whether there are any potential conflicting claims that affect development of the Tenements, and primarily the Unpatented Claims.

9. Unpatented Claims - Location Monuments and Claim Validity.

The corner monuments and boundaries of an unpatented mining claim may extend onto other unpatented mining claims (as noted above) or even onto private land without invalidating the claim. However, the location monument (which designates the point of discovery and on which the location notice is posted) must be placed on unappropriated federal land. If the discovery site (location monument) is on private land or on federal land that is already appropriated by the existence of a valid unpatented mining claim, then the entire subject claim is void ab initio.

Consequently, the position of the location monument is critical to the validity of a claim. We have reviewed the location notices, maps, and publicly available maps, and no obvious location monument problems were observed. If any such problems are later discovered from a more thorough analysis or actual field survey (i.e., if a location monument is found to have been situated on private land or on a preexisting valid claim), then the subsequent claim should be considered as potentially void and should be relocated (not amended), because a void claim cannot be amended.

Comment: Primarily advisory. To the extent it is discovered that any of the Unpatented Claims overlap other claims, further review and analysis is advisable.

10. Unpatented Claims - BLM Mining Claim Maintenance Fee.

Since 1993, the owner (or "claimant") of an unpatented mining claim has been required to pay a federal claim maintenance fee to the BLM in order to maintain the claims in good standing. From 1993 to 2005, the maintenance fee was \$100.00 per claim per year; this was increased to \$125.00 in 2005, to \$140.00 in 2009, and to \$155 in 2014 and most recently to \$165 per claim per year. Federal law requires the payment of these annual maintenance fees to the BLM of (i.e. currently \$165 per mining claim). The payment must be paid to BLM by September 1 of each year. Failure to timely pay the required fees by the annual deadline renders the claims void automatically by operation of law, so strict and timely compliance with the federal filing requirement is essential. The maintenance fee payment is made prospectively for the assessment year beginning on September 1 for the upcoming assessment year. By way of example, the maintenance fee due before September 1, 2021 is paid for the assessment year beginning September 1, 2021 and ending September 1, 2022.

The Wolcott Reports indicate that BLM records show that all of the Unpatented Claims are in good standing and annual filing and payments were timely made. The next annual deadline for payment of BLM maintenance fees is September 1, 2021. Each of the project company entities that holds Unpatented Claims is responsible for payment of the annual maintenance fee with respect to the Unpatented Claims.

Comment: Primarily advisory. In order to maintain the Unpatented Claims, Hawkstone should confirm that each of the entities holding the Unpatented Claims timely submits payment of the maintenance fee to BLM in advance of the annual September 1 deadline.

11. Unpatented Claims - County Maintenance Filings.

In addition to the payment of an annual maintenance to BLM, there are state-specific requirements that require a claimant to record an affidavit or notice of intent to hold in the county where the claims are located to demonstrate the claimant's compliance with claim maintenance requirements and intent to continue to hold and maintain the claims. This generally can be accomplished by recording an affidavit with the terms required by statute. Although failure to file an affidavit or notice to intent to hold is not a fatal defect in maintaining the Unpatented Claims, in comparison to failure to pay the annual BLM maintenance fee, such practice provides a claimant with prima facie evidence that the maintenance fee requirements have been met, whereas failure to file would in some states provide prima facie evidence that the maintenance fee requirements were not met. Accordingly, it is consistent with good business practice to record such documentation in the event of a dispute, however, as noted below, such burden can generally be overcome by producing a receipt showing payment of the federal claim maintenance fees to the BLM.

Summarized below are the specific-state law requirements:

  • Idaho Lone Pine Claims.11 In Idaho, payment of the BLM maintenance fee and recording an affidavit or notice in the county records where the claims are located within 60 days after the end of the annual assessment year is prima facie evidence that the claimant has complied with the annual labor and maintenance fee requirements required under state law.
  • Nevada Devils Canyon Claims.12 Similar to Idaho, Nevada requires the claimant to record an Affidavit and Notice of Intent to Hold ("NOI") in the appropriate county by November 1 of each year, which serves as prima facie evidence of compliance with the annual labor and maintenance fee requirements required under state law for the prior assessment year (i.e. the assessment year beginning the year before the affidavit was recorded).
  • Utah Western Desert Claims.13 Utah statutes provides that a claimant may record an affidavit in the county records within 30 days after the end of the assessment year confirming the owner's intent to maintain the claims.

In each of these states, we understand that the failure to timely record an affidavit, notice, or NOI does not result in a forfeiture of the claims, as does the failure to pay the federal claim maintenance fees by September 1. Instead, in the event of a conflict with a junior locator, the senior claimant must prove his intent to maintain the claims. This can generally be accomplished by producing a receipt showing payment of the federal claim maintenance fees to the BLM.

11 See Idaho Code § 47-606. 12 See Nevada Revised Statute § 517.230. 13 See Utah Code Ann. § 40-1-6.

Comment: It appears that each Ounces High Exploration Inc., Hawkstone Nevada Inc., and Roughead Resources Inc. have timely recorded an affidavit, notice or NOI in the relevant county records annually for the Unpatented Claims since the claims where located.

12. Unpatented Claim Validity - Discovery of a Valuable Mineral.

Under federal law, the validity (as opposed to the ownership) of an unpatented mining claim is contingent upon the existence of a "discovery" of "valuable minerals" therein. These are terms and requirements that have been interpreted and applied in case law over the years under varying tests, but in short, the claim must contain demonstrable mineralization valuable enough that a reasonably prudent operator would and could mine and sell the ore at a reasonable profit. The federal government is free at any time to challenge the Unpatented Claims on the basis of no discovery of a valuable mineral. Likewise, a rival locator could challenge the existence of a claimant's discovery (subject to pedis possessio and other defenses). Such disputes if and when raised are complicated, time consuming, and highly fact dependent. We have no way of knowing from the title information examined whether or not the required discovery exists on any of the Unpatented Claims. If a claim does not include a discovery of a valuable mineral deposit, such claim is invalid under the Mining Law, and accordingly, a claimant would not have a vested interest in the claim.

Comment: Primarily advisory.

13. Unpatented Claims - Placer vs. Lode Deposits

Validity of an unpatented mining claim may also depend on the type of deposit. Lode claims must be used for lode-type deposits and placer claims must be used for placer-type deposits. A lode claim covering a placer deposit is invalid, and a placer claim staked for a lode or vein is invalid. Whether the deposit is lode or placer is a question of fact that depends on many factors, most of them geologic in nature. The Unpatented Claims consist of exclusively lode claims.

Comment: Primarily advisory. We assume that the deposits for which the Unpatented Claims have been located properly to support the type of claim used to cover lode deposits, but we have not confirmed this assumption from the title records examined; further geologic or a site inspection would be required. To the extent geologic data reveals a conflict on whether the Unpatented Claims are properly located as lode claims, further review and analysis is advisable.

14. Unpatented Claims - Co-Existing Nonlocatable Minerals

We note that the Unpatented Claims only extend to minerals deemed to be "locatable minerals" under the Mining Law, which includes gold, which we understand such claims are intended to cover. For your information, oil and gas, coal, certain other hydrocarbon and fertilizer

minerals, geothermal resources, and common varieties of sand, gravel and stone that might exist within the boundaries of the Unpatented Claims are not subject to appropriation under the mining laws and have not been appropriated by location of the Unpatented Claims. These minerals and resources, if they exist in the Unpatented Claims, are retained by the United States and are subject to disposition under the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, the Geothermal Steam Act of 1970, and the Materials Act of 1947.

There may also exist within the Unpatented Claims, now or at some time in the future, leases or authorizations granted by the United States for the development of such retained minerals, notwithstanding the existence of the Unpatented Claims. Federal multiple mineral development regulations exist to govern any situations where a federal mining claimant and a federal mineral lease might both wish to develop the same land. Under such regulations, the Hawkstone entities would generally receive notice regarding such potential activities and the opportunity to be involved in further procedures regarding such multiple uses.

Comment: Primarily advisory. To the extent conflicting uses arise during exploration or development, further review and analysis would be advisable at that time.

15. Unpatented Claims - Conflicting Surface Uses.

As indicated, the Unpatented Claims remain subject to the paramount title of the United States. As part of this limitation, the United States retains the right to allow others to use the surface resources (such as grazing, range improvements, recreation, roads, timber harvesting, etc.) within the Unpatented Claims, provided such uses do not materially interfere with exploration or mining operations on the Unpatented Claims. In addition, the government could grant additional surface authorizations in the future notwithstanding the existence of the Unpatented Claims. We note that within national forest areas, where we understand the Lone Pine Claims in Idaho are situated, the U.S. Forest Service administers the surface of the federal lands rather than the BLM. Similar to the lease of other mineral interests, the Hawkstone entities would generally receive notice regarding particular authorizations for such potential activities and the opportunity to be involved in further procedures regarding such activities before such approvals.

Comment: Primarily advisory. To the extent conflicting uses arise during exploration or development, further review and analysis would be advisable at that time.

16. Idaho - Land Withdrawals from Mineral Location.

Based on our review of the Master Title Plat and a Decision Notice in the BLM Lead File for the LP-01 through LP-075 included in the Lone Peak Claims in Idaho, certain federal lands within Section 17, Township 22 North, Range 21 East have been withdrawn from mineral entry. These areas include the federal lands adjacent to the Patented Claims owned by Ounces High Exploration Inc. and the U.P. Lake Recreation Area, approximately 21.69 acres, more or less, in the W/2 of Lot 6 of Section 17, Township 22 North, Range 21 East, which was withdrawn from the Mining Law under Public Land Order 4503. We separately note that to the north, approximately 40.00 acres, more or less, have also been withdrawn from mineral entry in the E/2SE/4SW/4 and W/2SW/4SE/4 of Section 8, Township 22 North, Range 21 East, for the Wallace Lake Recreation Area, under Public Land Order 4503.

While such federal land and mineral entry closures are not necessarily problematic, it simply means that such lands are not subject to appropriation under the Mining Law, although under certain conditions, the end and side lines of unpatented mining claims may extend over such lands. Accordingly, if any of the LP-01 through LP-075 take in lands that have been closed to mineral entry prior to the claim being located, such claim would either (1) not include any of the lands closed to mineral entry, provided the point of discovery is located on lands that are open for mineral entry, or (2) could be determined to be invalid if the point of discovery is located within the closed lands.

The BLM Decision Notice does not identify any specific claims that are invalid as a matter of law but cautions that these areas of land have been closed to mineral location and to the extent the claims overlap these lands, Ounces High Exploration Inc. does not have any rights. BLM, therefore, recommends that Ounces High Exploration Inc. complete a further review of the LP-01 through LP-075 claims to confirm the company does not inadvertently trespass on these lands.

Comment: Primarily advisory. Ounces High Exploration Inc. should avoid locating any claims that could overlap the areas that have been withdrawn from mineral entry or conduct further review prior to such location to confirm compliance with federal and state requirements and avoid any trespass claims.

C. Liens and Litigation.

Except for the review reflected in the Wolcott Reports and CT Reports, we have not conducted a comprehensive or otherwise exhaustive review for any pending litigation, judgments, liens and security interests, and to the extent any litigation, judgments or liens were identified, we have not reviewed the underlying documents or any related proceedings. Based on such review, Ounces High Exploration Inc., Hawkstone Nevada Inc., and Roughead Resources Inc. do not appear to be a party to a pending state, federal, or bankruptcy court action, and the Tenements do not appear to be subject to any liens or judgments.

D. Permitting and Land Use Restrictions.

This report does not address the necessity or existence of any federal, state or local permits or approvals to conduct exploration or mining operations on the Tenements. We have not examined any relevant BLM or U.S. Forest Service land use plan to determine whether any restrictions exist as to the conduct of mining and mining-related activities on the Tenements, or local restrictions in the Lemhi County, Idaho; Eureka and White Pine Counties, Nevada; and Box Elder County, Utah in which the Tenements are located.

E. Environmental.

We have not attempted to determine whether the Tenements are in compliance with applicable environmental laws or whether there are any environmental liabilities or existing contamination associated with the Tenements. To the extent any project covers a historic mining site, there is significant potential for mining-related contamination. To the extent that such contamination exists and to the extent that clean-up is required, the Hawkstone entity that owns or holds such Tenement could be subject to liability for some clean-up costs.

Furthermore, use of the Tenements are subject to federal and state environmental laws, and title to the Tenements does not obviate application of those laws. As a nonexhaustive list, environmental considerations include the following: exploration and mining permit requirements from the Idaho Department of Lands, Nevada Division of Minerals of the Commission on Mineral Resources, and Utah Division of Oil, Gas, and Mining (for all Tenements) and BLM or the Forest Service (for Unpatented Claims), the requirement of posting appropriate reclamation bonds, compliance with air and water quality regulations, and compliance with the Endangered Species Act.

F. Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

From the Wolcott Reports, we understand that none of the Tenements are located within an Indian Reservation or reserve. However, some Tribes in Idaho, Utah, and Nevada may have off-reservation hunting and fishing and other federal treaty rights that might be applicable or affected. Also, there are state and federal laws, including the consultation requirements under the National Historic Preservation Act, 54 U.S.C. §§ 300101 et seq., that protect ancient artifacts and Native American remains, and as a result, each of the projects could be subject to further review and requirements during permitting. Additionally, the Utah State Lease contains specific cultural, archeological, paleontological, and antiquities resource terms and conditions, including requiring a Cultural Resources Survey prior to any surface disturbing activity. While permitting requirements and/or discovery of such artifacts or remains triggers reporting requirements together with time for officials to protect and remove such artifacts and remains, such discoveries do not result in transfer of title and do not generally result in prohibition of exploration or extraction activities.

G. Access.

We have not attempted to verify the existence of ingress and egress rights to and from the Tenements; however, we have seen nothing to indicate the absence of such rights.

H. Water Rights.

We have not ascertained the existence, extent, or ownership of any water rights relating to the Tenements, or the water rights that would be required for any operations on the Tenements.

I. Extralateral Rights.

The Mining Law provides that a locator of a valid mining claim acquires the right to "all veins, lodes, and ledges throughout their entire depth, the top or apex of which lies inside of such surface lines extended downward vertically although such veins, lodes, or ledges may so far depart from a perpendicular in their course downward as to extend outside the vertical sidelines of such surface locations." 30 U.S.C. § 26. We have been provided no information regarding any such extralateral rights and this report does not ascertain the existence, extent, or ownership of any extralateral rights associated with the Tenements, or as to whether any such extralateral right might attach to the Tenements.

J. Taxes.

We have not completed a comprehensive tax review, but we note the following:

  • The Patented Claims are subject to Idaho real property tax. From the Wolcott Reports, Lot Book Report, and CT Reports, we understand that property taxes assessed and due and owing against the Patented Claims have been paid through 2020 and there are no outstanding liens recorded against the Patented Claims for the nonpayment of any property or other tax. Property taxes for 2021 are currently accruing but are not yet due and payable.
  • In general, no ad valorem or property taxes are assessed on unpatented mining claims at the state level, although any improvements on unpatented mining claims can be taxed. We are unaware of whether there are any taxable improvements that could be subject to tax. The Wolcott Reports similarly confirm that the Unpatented Claims are not taxed in Lemhi County, Idaho; White Pine or Eureka Counties, Nevada; or the Box Elder County, Utah.

K. Improvements, Fixtures, and Personal Property.

This report does not address ownership of any improvements, structures, fixtures, equipment or other items on or within the Tenements that may be characterized as personal property.

VII. EFFECTIVE DATE; RESERVATIONS, QUALIFICATIONS AND DISCLAIMERS; LIMITS TO SCOPE OF REPORT

A. Effective Date. Except as otherwise indicated, our review was limited to the documents set forth in Section II, and our review is limited and effective as of the date and time of such documents.

2. Security Interests or Other Matters of Record. We did not conduct a comprehensive public records search for security interest filings involving the Tenements under real property law or the Uniform Commercial Code, except as discussed above and in Exhibit D. We make no conclusions about any security interests, royalties, liens, or other encumbrances respecting the Tenements that would be revealed by a further search of public records or other further inquiry.

3. Certain Other Matters Excluded from Scope of Report. This limited title status review does not include and is further subject to the following exceptions and limitations, of which we express no opinion regarding:

a. Any fact or record that may be revealed upon a chain of title, comprehensive review of title, or review of the county records for the Tenements;

b. Any fact or record regarding the unpatented mining claims that may be revealed upon a review of the certificates of location, claim maps, BLM files, or county records, and any required filings;

c. Any fact affecting the validity of any unpatented mining claim, including any conflicting or overlapping claim or property issues, or any terms or conditions of any agreement not provided by Hawkstone or by Wolcott, LLC from review of the public records;

d. Matters of fact not disclosed by the documents in Section II that vary from statutorily permitted presumptions of fact or statutorily created prima facie evidence of facts;

e. Whether any portion of the Tenements constitutes navigable waters or submerged or tidally-influenced lands, subject to a claim of ownership a State or the United States of America;

f. Any claim of right to use, occupancy, possession or title based on Tribal treaty or other Native American aboriginal or legal rights;

g. Possessory rights, discrepancies of survey or location, or matters that may be revealed upon a surface or site inspection, including but not limited to any claims of title by persons in actual possession of all or any part of the lands under examination, or easements or encroachments of any nature whatsoever that are not part of the documents noted in Section II but which may have been discovered by direct observation, the adequacy of the monuments described on the Certificates of Location, whether any of the claims have been overstaked on the ground by a third party, to what degree they may overlap another or contain fractions, or whether the actual location corresponds to the claim map required by federal law, and any fact or circumstance, such as adverse possession, or easements or encroachments that are not part of the Section II documents but which might be disclosed by a ground examination or a review of the public records;

h. Any matters related to access to the Tenements, compliance with state and federal laws affecting the right to mine, or the adequacy of the mineral discovery, if any, on the Tenements;

i. Any matters related to the availability of water and water rights (except as expressly set out in this report) to support mining operations on the Tenements; and

j. Matters concerning the possible effect of National Forest, BLM or other federal, state, or local land or resource use or management plans, pertinent zoning ordinances, and the effect, if any, of environmental protection, consumer credit, truth-in-lending, securities, and similar laws and regulations of general application.

C. Unrecorded Documents. We have not been provided with copies of any documents not of record, except as expressly noted.

D. Errors and Omissions of Public Officials and Staff.

Wolcott Reports

Attached To and Made a Part of That Certain Title Report Prepared for Hawkstone Mining Ltd. Dated August 3, 2021.

RECORD TITLE EXAMINATION AND MINING PROPERTY REVIEW U.P. AND BURLINGTON LODE CLAIMS, LEMHI COUNTY, IDAHO JANUARY 28, 2020

On behalf of Hawkstone Mining Ltd., Wolcott, LLC, has been engaged to perform a record title examination of the U.P. and Burlington patented lode mining claims, Mineral Survey 1602, ("Subject Claims"), located in the Eureka Mining District, Lemhi County, Idaho. The Area of Interest (AOI), for the purpose of examination of Land Status and current Federal Actions, is defined as Section 17, Township 22 North, Range 21 East, Boise Principal Meridian. The Subject Claims lie entirely within this Section.

OWNERSHIP

(This should not be construed as a guarantee of title)

The entire Area of Interest is National Forest Surface and Minerals with the exception of the patented Subject Claims. After reviewing Master Plats, Historical Indexes, and the LR2000 Case Recordation, it has been confirmed that all National Forest lands within the Area of Interest, that are not already preempted by other valid mining claims, are open to mineral location. Further, that the Subject Claims were located on lands that were open to location at the time of location. All rights, title, and interest to the Subject Claims is vested as follows:

100% Inception Development Inc. 5330 South 900 East, Ste 280 Murray, UT 84117

Subject to the following conditions or notes of interest:

  • The Subject Claims were located in the fall of 1892 by D. N. Clark. We did not find record of Proof of Labor (POL) being filed for years 1893 or 1894 and the filings found for 1895-97 were for the U.P. claim alone. The POL filings for 1898-99 were for two claims, the U.P. and Baltimore Lode where no record of the Burlington was found. The 1900 Proof of Labor was properly filed for each claim by Paul Rossier, patentee.
  • The Probate Court for Lemhi County ordered the sale of the Subject Claims from the estate of D. N. Clark to Paul Rossier, Book K, Page 236; and this was completed in the Indenture recorded in Book K, Page 226 on November 27, 1900. The Mineral Survey 1602 was filed with payment in the regional Land Office by Mr. Rossier on January 7, 1901 and the patent issued April 4, 1902. On November 25, 1901, William L. Clark, as heir of D. N. Clark, recorded an Amended Certificate of Location for each of the Subject Claims.
  • A Deed of County Property dated May 12, 1952 conveyed title in the Subject Claims to J. C. Bennett and D. F. Richards. By 2006, complete ownership of the Subject Claims is with James C. Bennett, Jr. and his wife Sharon B. Bennet. James C. Bennett, Jr. is the son of James C. Bennett. Since only initials are used on the County Deed, it is unclear that the transaction was to the younger Bennett since he used his full name in all other recorded documents. No records of Probate or other transfer were found from the elder James Bennett to the younger.
  • A Quitclaim Deed was recorded on February 15, 2013 from Bitterroot-Salmon Conservation Project, LLC to Inception Resources, LLC. Bitterroot-Salmon Conservation Project, LLC is a stranger to title and no other references to them were found in the County records.

ENCUMBRANCES

There were no liens or encumbrances pertaining to the Subject Claims found in the records examined:

Lease Crews • Land Acquisitions • Mining and Oil & Gas Title Examinations • Abstracts • Mapping

RECORDS AND DOCUMENTS EXAMINED

  • Offices of Lemhi County, Idaho: The Clerk/Auditor/Recorder Office was visited January 20-24, 2020 and their records were examined for locations, transfers, affidavits, UCC filings, fees, liens, actions, and encumbrances pertaining to the Subject Claims and related parties. The Offices of the Treasurer and Assessor were searched for current owner and tax status.
  • Idaho District Courts: The Idaho iCourtPortal website at www.mycourts.idaho.gov was searched January 24, 2020 for any active judgments, liens, or civil actions on the names listed in Exhibit A Court Searches: Parties of Interest. Statewide search returned no active cases.
  • BLM Master Title Plats and Historical Indexes: The General Land Office web site at: https://glorecords.blm.gov/default.aspx was searched January 16, 2020 for Master Title Plats, Use Plats, and Historical Indices related to the Area of Interest. All plats and indices were downloaded. These documents were examined for withdrawals, patents and other actions, that could preclude the location of mining claims or affect potential operations.
  • BLM Current Land Status: A BLM LR2000 Case Record GeoReport was run on January 16, 2020, for the Area of Interest. That report showed only one current case, IDI-000833, a withdrawal for recreation area that is over 500 feet west of the western corner of the Subject Claims. All lands in the AOI are National Forest and the GeoIndex of Mining Claims only shows four claims in the Southeast quarter of the Section.
  • Idaho Secretary of State UCC Search: The Idaho Secretary of State UCC website at: https://sosbiz.idaho.gov/search/ucc was searched on January 28, 2020 for parties in Exhibit A. No relevant records were found.
  • United States Courts: Exhibit A names were searched in all Courts using the Pacer Public Access to Court Electronic Records website at https://pcl.uscourts.gov/pcl/index.jsf accessed January 28, 2020. No active cases were found.
