3. DETAILS OF THE OFFER

3.1 The Offer

The Offer is an offer of up to 3,000 Listed Options at an issue price of $0.005 per Listed Option to raise up to $15 (before expenses).

The Offer will only be extended to specific parties on invitation from the Directors. Application Forms will only be provided by the Company to these parties.

All of the Listed Options offered under this Prospectus will rank equally with Listed Options on issue at the date of this Prospectus. The full terms and conditions of the Listed Options are set out in Section 5.1.

All Shares issued on exercise of the Quoted Options will rank equally with the Shares then on issue. A summary of the rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares is set out in Section 5.2.

3.2 Purpose of the Offer

The Company is seeking to raise only a nominal amount under this Prospectus and, accordingly, the purpose of this Prospectus is not to raise capital.

The primary purpose of the Offer is to remove any trading restrictions that may have attached to Listed Options issued by the Company without disclosure under Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act prior to the Closing Date of the Offer (including prior to the date of this Prospectus).

Accordingly, the Company is seeking to raise only a nominal amount of $15 under the Offer as the purpose of the Offer is not to raise capital.

Relevantly, section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act provides that a sale offer does not need disclosure to investors if:

==> picture [14 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

the relevant securities are in a class of securities that are quoted securities of the body; and

==> picture [14 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

either:

  • (i) a prospectus is lodged with the ASIC on or after the day on which the relevant securities were issued but before the day on which the sale offer is made; or

  • (ii) a prospectus is lodged with ASIC before the day on which the relevant securities are issued and offers of securities that have been made under the prospectus are still open for acceptance on the day on which the relevant securities were issued; and

==> picture [14 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

the prospectus is for an offer of securities issued by the body that are in the same class of securities as the relevant securities.

In particular, by issuing this Prospectus, the Company is seeking to cleanse:

==> picture [14 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the issue of Listed Options to each of the Company’s Directors on 17 September 2020 (as approved by Shareholders on 15 September 2020); and

4

3113-11/2511212_6

==> picture [14 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the proposed issue of free-attaching Listed Options under a placement to professional and sophisticated investors, which was announced by the Company on 25 September 2020 ( Placement ). Under the Placement, the Company will be issuing a total of 114,285,714 Shares, together with one free-attaching Listed Option exercisable at $0.008 each on or before 14 July 2020 for every two (2) Shares subscribed for to raise up to $800,000.

Additionally, the Offer is being made such that the relief provided under ASIC Corporations (Sale Offers That Do Not Need Disclosure) Instrument 2016/80 with respect to the on-sale provisions of section 707 of the Corporations Act is available. Specifically, if the Listed Options are issued with disclosure under this Prospectus then the Shares issued upon the exercise of any of the Investor Options can be on-sold within 12 months of their issue, without a disclosure document for the on-sale offer.

3.3 Minimum subscription

There is no minimum subscription to the Offers.

3.4 Underwriter

The Offers are not underwritten.

3.5 Issue

Listed Options issued pursuant to the Offer will be issued in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and timetable set out at the commencement of this Prospectus.

The Directors will determine the recipients of the Listed Options offered under this Prospectus. The Directors reserve the right to reject any application or to allocate any Applicant fewer Listed Options than the number applied for.

Where the number of Listed Options issued is less than the number applied for, or where no issue is made, surplus application monies will be refunded without any interest to the Applicant as soon as practicable after the Closing Date.

Pending the issue of the Listed Options or payment of refunds pursuant to this Prospectus, all application monies will be held by the Company in trust for the Applicants in a separate bank account as required by the Corporations Act. The Company, however, will be entitled to retain all interest that accrues on the bank account and each Applicant waives the right to claim interest.

3.6 ASX listing

Application for Official Quotation of the Listed Options offered pursuant to this Prospectus will be made within 7 days of the date of this Prospectus. If ASX does not grant Official Quotation of the Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus before the expiration of 3 months after the date of issue of the Prospectus, (or such period as varied by the ASIC), the Company will not issue any Shares and will repay all application monies for the Shares within the time prescribed under the Corporations Act, without interest.

The fact that ASX may grant Official Quotation to the Shares is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the Shares now offered for subscription.

3113-11/2511212_6

3.7 Applicants outside Australia

Full details of the rights and liabilities attaching to Shares are set out in the Company’s Constitution, a copy of which is available for inspection at the Company’s registered office during normal business hours.

==> picture [14 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

General meetings and notices

Shareholders are entitled to be present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company. Shareholders may requisition meetings in accordance with section 249D of the Corporations Act and the Constitution of the Company.

==> picture [14 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

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

10

3113-11/2511212_6

appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote for each Share held, 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).

==> picture [14 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

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 (not credited) 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 may determine. No dividend shall carry interest as against the Company. The Directors may set aside out of the profits of the Company 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 the Company may be properly applied.

Subject to the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, the Company may, by resolution of the Directors, implement a dividend reinvestment plan on such terms and conditions as the Directors think fit and 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 the Company shall either pursuant to the Constitution or any law be entitled or obliged to retain, be applied by the Company to the payment of the subscription price of Shares.

==> picture [14 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

Winding-up

If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution, divide among the Shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the property of the Company, 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, 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.

==> picture [14 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

Shareholder liability

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

11

3113-11/2511212_6

==> picture [10 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

Transfer of shares

Generally, shares in the Company 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 and the ASX Listing Rules.

==> picture [14 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

Future increase in capital

The allotment and issue of any new Shares is under the control of the Directors of the Company. Subject to restrictions on the issue or grant of Securities contained in the ASX Listing Rules, the Constitution and the Corporations Act (and without affecting any special right previously conferred on the holder of an existing share or class of shares), the Directors may issue Shares as they shall, in their absolute discretion, determine.

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

Variation of rights

Under section 246B of the Corporations Act, the Company 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 the Company 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.

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

Alteration of Constitution

In accordance with the Corporations Act, 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.

6. RISK FACTORS

6.1 Introduction

The Listed Options offered under this Prospectus should be considered speculative because of the nature of the Company’s business.

There are however numerous risk factors involved in investing in the Company. Some of these risks can be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate systems and controls, but some are outside the control of the Company and cannot be mitigated. Accordingly, an investment in the Company carries no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, return of capital or price at which the Listed Options (or the underlying Shares) will trade.

The following is a summary of the more material matters to be considered and should be read in conjunction with specific matters referred to in the Company’s announcements and reports. However, the summary is not exhaustive and potential investors should examine the contents of this Prospectus in its entirety and consult their professional advisors before deciding whether to apply for Listed Options.

6.2 Company specific

==> picture [14 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

Exploration risk

Mineral exploration by its nature is a high risk activity and there can be no guarantee of exploration success on the Company's projects. There can be no assurance that exploration of the tenements, or any other tenements that may be acquired in the future, will result in the discovery of an economic deposit. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited.

Further, exploration involves certain operating hazards, such as failure and or breakdown of equipment, adverse geological, seismic and geotechnical conditions, industrial accidents, labour disputes, adverse weather conditions, pollution and other environmental hazards and risks.

==> picture [14 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

Budget risk

The exploration costs of the Company are based on certain assumptions with respect to the method and timing of exploration. By their nature, these estimates and assumptions are subject to uncertainties and, accordingly, the actual costs may materially differ from these estimates and assumptions.

==> picture [14 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

Additional requirements for capital

The future capital requirements of the Company will depend on many factors including the results of future exploration and business development activities. The Company believes its available cash and resources should be adequate to fund its obligations in respect of its exploration work program, business development activities and other objectives for the next 12 months. Should the Company's exploration program be successful or the Company identify additional projects it may wish to pursue, additional funds will be required to advance the Company's projects.

13

3113-11/2511212_6

Additional funding may be raised by the Company via the issues of equity, debt or a combination of debt and equity or asset sales. Any additional equity financing will dilute Shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities.

If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations and scale back its programs or enter into joint venture arrangements to reduce expenditure and this could have a material adverse effect on the Company's activities. Unfavourable market conditions may adversely affect the Company's ability to raise additional funding regardless of the Company's operating performance.

==> picture [14 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

New projects and acquisitions and joint ventures

The Company will continue to actively pursue and assess, other new business opportunities particularly those in the resources sector. These new business opportunities may take the form of direct project acquisitions, joint ventures, farm-ins, acquisition of tenements/permits, or direct equity participation.

If an acquisition is completed, the Directors will need to reassess, at that time, the funding allocated to current projects and new projects, which may result in the Company reallocating funds from other projects and/or the raising of additional capital (if available).

Furthermore, any new project or business acquisition may change the risk profile of the Company, particularly if the new project is located in another jurisdiction, involves a new commodity and/or changes the Company's capital/funding requirements.

Should the Company propose or complete the acquisition of a new project or business activity, investors should re-assess their investment in the Company in light of the new project/business activity.

==> picture [14 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

Resources estimates

Resource estimates are expressions of judgement based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates that were valid when originally made may alter significantly when new information or techniques become available.

In addition, by their very nature, resource estimates are imprecise and depend on interpretations which may prove to be inaccurate, and whilst the Company will employ industry-standard techniques including compliance with the JORC Code to reduce the resource estimation risk, there is no assurance that this approach will alter the risk. As further information becomes available through additional fieldwork and analysis, resource estimates may change. This may result in alterations to mining and development plans which may in turn adversely affect the Company.

==> picture [10 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

Risk of not obtaining required permits

The future operations of the Company, including in respect of the Red Valley Lithium Project, may require permits from various governmental authorities and will be governed by laws and regulations governing prospecting, development, mining, production, export, taxes, labour

standards, occupational health, waste disposal, land use, environmental protections, mine safety and other matters. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain all necessary permits and approvals that may be required to undertake exploration activity or commence construction or operation of lithium extraction facilities on its lithium properties or any other properties the Company may acquire in the future. To the extent such approvals are required and not obtained, the Company may be curtailed or prohibited from commencing or continuing with mining operations, or proceeding with any future exploration or development of its lithium properties or other properties the Company may acquire in the future.

Joint venture risk

The Company is currently, and may in the future become a party to joint venture agreements governing the exploration and development of its projects. There is a risk that one of the Company’s joint venture partners may default in their joint venture obligations or not act in the best interests of the joint venture. This may have an adverse effect on the interests and prospects of the Company.

There can be no certainty that the parties will be able to settle the formal documentation in respect thereof. Failure to settle the terms of the formal documentation may result in termination of the joint venture and/or a potential dispute resolution process.

Commodity price volatility

If the Company achieves success leading to mineral production, the revenue it will derive through the sale of commodities exposes the potential income of the Company to price and exchange rate risks. Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by many factors beyond the control of the Company including the international supply and demand for commodities, the quality of the minerals produced, actions taken by governments, forward selling activities and other macroeconomic factors.

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

Environmental risk

The Company's projects are subject to rules and regulations regarding environmental matters and the discharge of hazardous wastes and materials. As with all mineral projects, the Company's projects are expected to have a variety of environmental impacts should development proceed. Development of any of the Company's projects will be dependent on the Company satisfying environmental guidelines and, where required, being approved by government authorities.

The Company intends to conduct its activities in an environmentally responsible manner and in accordance with all applicable laws, but may still be subject to accidents or other unforeseen events which may compromise its environmental performance and which may have adverse financial implications.

6.3 General risks

==> picture [14 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

Coronavirus (COVID-19) risk

The outbreak of the coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) is impacting global economic markets. The nature and extent of the effect of the outbreak on the performance of the Company remains unknown. The Company’s share price may be adversely affected in the short to medium term by the economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19. Further, any governmental or industry measures taken in response to COVID-19 may adversely impact the Company’s operations and are likely to be beyond the control of the Company.

The Directors are monitoring the situation closely and have considered the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business and financial performance. However, the situation is continually evolving, and the consequences are therefore inevitably uncertain. In compliance with its continuous disclosure obligations, the Company will continue to update the market in regard to the impact of COVID-19 on its revenue channels and adverse impact on the Company. If any of these impacts appear material prior to close of the Offers, the Company will notify investors under a supplementary prospectus.

==> picture [14 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

Market conditions and other economic risks

General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates, commodity prices and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company's operations and any future development activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.

The price of securities can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.

==> picture [14 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

Changes in government policies and legislation

Any material adverse changes in government policies or legislation of Australia or the United States of America or any other country that the Company may acquire economic interests in may affect the viability and profitability of the Company.

==> picture [14 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

Unforeseen expenditure risk

Expenditure may need to be incurred that has not been taken into account in the preparation of this Prospectus. Although the Company is not aware of any such additional expenditure requirements, if such expenditure is subsequently incurred, this may adversely affect the expenditure proposals of the Company.

==> picture [14 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

Insurance

The Company will, where possible and economically practicable, endeavour to mitigate some project and business risks by procuring relevant insurance cover. However, such insurance cover may not always be available or economically justifiable and the policy provisions and exclusions may render a particular claim by the Company outside the scope of the insurance cover.

Speculative investment

The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the Listed Options offered under this Prospectus.

Therefore, the underlying Shares carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those Shares.

Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Listed Options pursuant to this Prospectus.

7. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

7.1 Litigation

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company is not involved in any legal proceedings and the Directors are not aware of any legal proceedings pending or threatened against the Company.

7.2

Continuous disclosure obligations

The Company is a “disclosing entity” (as defined in section 111AC of the Corporations Act) for the purposes of section 713 of the Corporations Act and, as such, is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations. Specifically, like all listed companies, the Company is required to continuously disclose any information it has to the market which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or the value of the Company’s securities.

This Prospectus is a “transaction specific prospectus”. In general terms a “transaction specific prospectus” is only required to contain information in relation to the effect of the issue of securities on the Company and the rights attaching to the securities. It is not necessary to include general information in relation to all of the assets and liabilities, financial position, profits and losses or prospects of the issuing company.

This Prospectus is intended to be read in conjunction with the publicly available information in relation to the Company which has been notified to ASX and does not include all of the information that would be included in a prospectus for an initial public offering of securities in an entity that is not already listed on a stock exchange. Investors should therefore have regard to the other publicly available information in relation to the Company before making a decision whether or not to invest.

Having taken such precautions and having made such enquires as are reasonable, the Company believes that it has complied with the general and specific requirements of ASX as applicable from time to time throughout the 3 months before the issue of this Prospectus which required the Company to notify ASX of information about specified events or matters as they arise for the purpose of ASX making that information available to the stock market conducted by ASX.

Information that is already in the public domain has not been reported in this Prospectus other than that which is considered necessary to make this Prospectus complete.

The Company, as a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act states that:

  • (a) it is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations;

  • (b) copies of documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company (not being documents referred to in section 1274(2)(a) of the Corporations Act) may be obtained from, or inspected at, the offices of the ASIC; and

  • (c) it will provide a copy of each of the following documents, free of charge, to any person on request between the date of issue of this Prospectus and the Closing Date:

  • (i) the annual financial report most recently lodged by the Company with the ASIC;

18

3113-11/2511212_6

  • (ii) any half-year financial report lodged by the Company with the ASIC after the lodgement of the annual financial report referred to in (i) and before the lodgement of this Prospectus with the ASIC; and

  • (iii) any continuous disclosure documents given by the Company to ASX in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules as referred to in section 674(1) of the Corporations Act after the lodgement of the annual financial report referred to in (i) and before the lodgement of this Prospectus with the ASIC.

Copies of all documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company can be inspected at the registered office of the Company or an ASIC office during normal office hours.

Details of documents lodged with ASX since the date of lodgement of the Company’s latest annual financial report and before the lodgement of this Prospectus with the ASIC are set out in the table below :

Remuneration

The remuneration of an executive Director is decided by the Board, without the affected executive Director participating in that decision-making process. The total maximum remuneration of non-executive Directors is initially set by the Constitution and subsequent variation is by ordinary resolution of Shareholders in general meeting in accordance with the Constitution, the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, as applicable. The determination of non-executive Directors’ remuneration within that maximum will be made by the Board having regard to the inputs and value to the Company of the respective contributions by each non-executive Director. The current amount has been set at an amount not to exceed $500,000 per annum.

A Director may be paid fees or other amounts (ie non-cash performance incentives such as Options, subject to any necessary Shareholder approval) as the other Directors determine where a Director performs special duties or otherwise performs services outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a Director. In addition, Directors are also entitled to be paid reasonable travelling, hotel and

20

3113-11/2511212_6

other expenses incurred by them respectively in or about the performance of their duties as Directors.

If you have received this Prospectus as an electronic Prospectus, please ensure that you have received the entire Prospectus accompanied by the Application Form. If you have not, please phone the Company on +61 8 6559 1792 and the Company will send you, for free, either a hard copy or a further electronic copy of the Prospectus, or both.

The Company reserves the right not to accept an Application Form from a person if it has reason to believe that when that person was given access to the electronic Application Form, it was not provided together with the electronic Prospectus and

22

3113-11/2511212_6

any relevant supplementary or Prospectus or any of those documents were incomplete or altered.

7.10 Clearing House Electronic Sub-Register System (CHESS) and Issuer Sponsorship

The Company will not be issuing certificates for the Listed Options. The Company is a participant in CHESS, for those investors who have, or wish to have, a sponsoring stockbroker. Investors who do not wish to participate through CHESS will be issuer sponsored by the Company. Because the sub-registers are electronic, ownership of securities can be transferred without having to rely upon paper documentation.

Electronic registers mean that the Company will not be issuing certificates to investors. Instead, investors will be provided with a statement (similar to a bank account statement) that sets out the number of Shares issued to them under this Prospectus. The notice will also advise holders of their Holder Identification Number or Security Holder Reference Number and explain, for future reference, the sale and purchase procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship.

Further monthly statements will be provided to holders if there have been any changes in their security holding in the Company during the preceding month.

7.11 Privacy Act

If you complete an application for Listed Options, you will be providing personal information to the Company. The Company collects, holds and will use that information to assess your application, service your needs as a Shareholder, facilitate distribution payments and corporate communications to you as a holder of Securities and carry out administration.

The information may also be used from time to time and disclosed to persons inspecting the register, bidders for your securities in the context of takeovers, regulatory bodies, including the Australian Taxation Office, authorised securities brokers, print service providers, mail houses and the Company’s Share Registry.

You can access, correct and update the personal information that we hold about you. Please contact the Company if you wish to do so at the relevant contact numbers set out in this Prospectus.

Collection, maintenance and disclosure of certain personal information is governed by legislation including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (as amended), the Corporations Act and certain rules such as the settlement rules of the securities clearing house which operates CHESS. You should note that if you do not provide the information required on the application for Shares, the Company may not be able to accept or process your application.
