Website

Risks
You should read this document in its entirety and, if in any doubt, consult your professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Securities. There are risks associated with an investment in the Company. The Securities offered under this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to return on capital investment, payment of dividends or the future value of the Securities. Refer to Section 3.4 of the Investment Overview
2
as well as Section 6 for details relating to some of the key risk factors that should be considered by prospective investors. There may be risk factors in addition to these that should be considered in light of your personal circumstances.
Forward-looking statements
This Prospectus contains forwardlooking statements which are identified by words such as ‘may’, ‘could’, ‘believes’, ‘estimates’, ‘targets’, ‘expects’, or ‘intends’ and other similar words that involve risks and uncertainties.
These statements are based on an assessment of present economic and operating conditions, and on a number of assumptions regarding future events and actions that, as at the date of this Prospectus, are expected to take place.
Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, the Directors and the management.
The Company cannot and does not give any assurance that the results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus will actually occur and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
The Company has no intention to update or revise forward-looking statements, or to publish prospective financial information in the future, regardless of whether new information, future events or any other factors affect the information contained in this Prospectus, except where required by law.
These forward looking statements are subject to various risk factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or anticipated in these statements. These risk factors are set out in Section 6.
Financial Forecasts
The Directors have considered the matters set out in ASIC Regulatory Guide 170 and believe that they do not have a reasonable basis to forecast future earnings on the basis that the operations of the Company
are inherently uncertain. Accordingly, any forecast or projection information would contain such a broad range of potential outcomes and possibilities that it is not possible to prepare a reliable best estimate forecast or projection.
Competent Persons statement
The information included at Section 5.5, and the Independent Geologist’s Report, included at Annexure A of the Prospectus, which relate to exploration results is based on information compiled by Mr Matthew Sullivan. Mr Sullivan is a Member of the Australian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr Sullivan has sufficient experience which 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’ (the JORC Code ). Mr Sullivan and Boulder Resource Consultants Pty Ltd (BRC) each consent to the inclusion of the information in these Sections of the Prospectus in the form and context in which it appears.
Continuous disclosure obligations
The Company is a “disclosing entity” (as defined in section 111AC 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.
Price sensitive information will be publicly released through ASX before it is disclosed to Shareholders and market participants. Distribution of other information to Shareholders and market participants will also be managed through disclosure to the ASX. In addition, the Company will post this information on its website after the ASX confirms an announcement has been made, with the aim of making the information readily accessible to the widest audience.
Clearing House Electronic SubRegister System (CHESS) and Issuer Sponsorship
The Company will apply to participate 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.
Electronic sub-registers mean that the Company will not be issuing certificates to investors. Instead, investors will be provided with statements (similar to a bank account statement) that set out the number of Securities 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.
Electronic sub-registers also mean ownership of securities can be transferred without having to rely upon paper documentation. 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.
Photographs and Diagrams
Photographs used in this Prospectus which do not have descriptions are for illustration only and should not be interpreted to mean that any person shown endorses the Prospectus or its contents or that the assets shown in them are owned by the Company. Diagrams used in this Prospectus are illustrative only and may not be drawn to scale.

| Item | Summary | Further information |
|---|---|---|
| Mineral Field of WA, approximately 60km east of Leonora and 60km west of Laverton in the North-eastern Goldfields. Gold was originally discovered at the Redcastle mining centre in 1895. The Company has identified immediate target areas based on its review of historical exploration results including a drilling program by a previous owner. The Redcastle area is located in the central portion of the Archaean Norseman to Wiluna greenstone belt, which hosts numerous world class gold, nickel, lithium, rare earth and copper-zinc deposits. As detailed in the Independent Geologist’s Report, gold mineralisation in the region occurs in a variety of settings, commonly structurally controlled and near rocks of contrasting strength or mineral composition. Very commonly gold mineralisation is controlled by shear zones, with mineral alteration such as chlorite, sericite, pyrite, and quartz veining. The most famous of the mineralised structures at Redcastle is the Redcastle Reef. The Redcastle Reef is a steep dipping zone of chlorite alteration that has several sub parallel zones of mineralisation. Many of these remain relatively surprisingly unexplored. The Company is keen to explore and expand its holdings and secure additional tenements within the Redcastle area. The Company intends to acquire (subject to the Conditions) a 100% interest in the rights, title and interest in the Tenements. The Vendors of the Tenements will retain rights to all alluvial gold (as detailed below) and a 2% overriding gross royalty over all minerals sold from the Tenements (as detailed at Section 8.3). Further details with respect to the Project are set out in Section 5.5, the Independent Geologist’s Report set out at Annexure A and the Solicitor’s Report on Title set out at Annexure B. |

| What are the key business strategies of the Company? |
Following completion of the Offer and the Acquisition, the Company’s proposed business model will be to further explore and develop the Project. The Company’s main objectives on completion of the Offer are: (a) systemically explore the Project for gold through geological mapping, surface sampling and drilling on the Project; (b) continue to pursue other acquisitions that have a strategic fit for the Company; (c) focus on mineral exploration or resource opportunities that have the potential to deliver growth for Shareholders; (d) implement a growth strategy to seek out further exploration and acquisition opportunities; and (e) provide working capital for the Company. |
Section 5.6 |
| What are the key dependencies of the Company's business model? |

These risks can impact on the value of an investment in the securities of our Company. The Board aims to manage these risks by carefully planning its activities and implementing risk control measures. Some of the risks are, however, highly unpredictable and the extent to which the Board can effectively manage them is limited. The risks and uncertainties described below are not intended to be exhaustive. The summary of risks that follows is not intended to be exhaustive and this Prospectus does not take into account the personal circumstances, financial position or investment requirements of any particular person. There may be additional risks and uncertainties that the Company is unaware of or that the Company currently considers to be immaterial, which may affect the Company, or its related entities and consequently Applicants. Based on the information available, a non-exhaustive list of risk factors |
Section6 |

| Item | Summary | Further information |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| for the Company associated with the Company’s proposal to undertake the Acquisition is as follows. |
|||
| Completion Risk | Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, the Company will acquire 100% of the right, title and interest in the Tenements, the exercise and completion of which is subject to the fulfilment of certain conditions. The Acquisition constitutes a significant change in the nature and scale of the Company’s activities and the Company needs to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules as if it were seeking admission to the Official List of ASX. Trading in the Company’s Shares is currently suspended and will remain suspended until the Company re-complies with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules following completion of the Acquisition. There is a risk that the conditions for completion of the Acquisition cannot be fulfilled, including where the Company is unable to meet the requirements of the ASX for re-quotation of its Securities on the ASX. If the Acquisition is not completed, the Company will incur costs relating to advisors and other costs without any material benefit being achieved. Should this occur, Shares will not be able to be traded on the ASX until such time as the Company has recompiled with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules and Shareholders may be prevented from trading their Shares until such time as a successful re- compliance is completed. As previously disclosed, if the Company had not re- complied with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules by 23 September 2021 (or any extension thereof), ASX will remove the Company from the Official List. The Company has obtained a short extension of the de-listing date to 12 October 2021. If the required Shareholder approvals are obtained at the Meeting, a further extension to the de- listing date will be sought by the Company. |
||
| Tenure and Access Risk |
Applications While the Company does not anticipate there to be any issues with the grant of its Tenement application, there can be no assurance that the application (or any future applications) will be granted. While the Company considers the risk to be low, there can also be no assurance that when the relevant tenement is granted, it will be granted in its entirety. Some of the tenement areas applied for may be excluded. Renewal Mining and exploration tenements are subject to periodic renewal. The renewal of the term of granted tenements is subject to the discretion of the relevant authority. Renewal conditions may include increased expenditure and work commitments or compulsory relinquishment of areas of the tenements. The imposition of new conditions or the inability to meet those conditions may adversely affect the operations, financial position and/or performance of the Company. Access A number of the Tenements overlap certain third party interests that may limit the Company’s ability to conduct exploration and mining activities, including private land, Crown Reserves, areas on which native title is yet to be |
Section 6.2(a) |

|---|---|---|
| determined and other forms of tenure for railways, pipelines and similar third party interests. Where the Project overlaps private land, exploration and mining activity on the Project may require authorisation or consent from the owners of that land. The Company is not required to enter into land access agreements to undertake its proposed exploration program on the Tenements. However, the Company intends to carry out heritage clearance surveys before implementing its proposed exploration program. The Company’s current proposed exploration program is not impacted by the known sites of registered aboriginal heritage significance. In circumstances where authorisation or consent is delayed or not granted, the Company would be required to engage in a court process to obtain an easement for it to access the land to conduct its proposed exploration activities. There is a risk that this process could result in the Company incurring additional cost or that it could create delays to the Company’s proposed exploration program. Further, if the relevant easement is not granted, then depending on the significance of the mining tenements involved, this could impact upon the Company’s operations. The Company will also require consent of the Minister or from relevant native title parties prior to commencing exploration and development of parts of the Project that are subject to Crown Reserves, outstanding Native Title determinations or Indigenous Land Use Agreements. Please refer to the Solicitor’s Report set out in Annexure B for further details. |
||
| Exploration Risks | Potential investors should understand that mineral exploration and development are high-risk undertakings. There can be no assurance that exploration of the Project, or any other tenements that may be acquired in the future, will result in the discovery of an economic ore deposit. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited. The future exploration activities of the Company 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, native title process, changing government regulations and many other factors beyond the control of the Company. The success of the Company will also depend upon the Company having access to sufficient development capital, being able to maintain title to its projects and obtaining all required approvals for its activities. In the event that exploration programmes prove to be unsuccessful this could lead to a diminution in the value of the Tenements, a reduction in the cash reserves of the Company and possible relinquishment of its projects. 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 significant uncertainties and, accordingly, the actual costs may materially differ from these estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the cost estimates and the |
Section 6.2(b) |
10
| Item | Summary | Summary | Summary | Summary | Summary | Further information |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| underlying assumptions will be realised in practice, which may materially and adversely affect the Company’s viability. |
||||||
| Reliance on Key Personnel |
The Company’s future depends, in part, on its ability to attract and retain key personnel. It may not be able to hire and retain such personnel at compensation levels consistent with its existing compensation and salary structure. Its future also depends on the continued contributions of its key management and technical personnel, the loss of whose services would be difficult to replace. In addition, the inability to continue to attract appropriately qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business. |

4.10 Suspension and Re-admission to ASX
ASX has determined that the Acquisition, if successfully completed, will represent a significant change in the nature and scale of the Company’s activities. In accordance with the ASX Listing Rules, the change in the nature and scale of the Company’s activities will require:
-
(a) Shareholder approval for the Acquisition, which will be sought at the General Meeting; and
-
(b) the Company to re-comply with the admission requirements set out in Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules.
The Company’s Securities have been suspended from quotation since 23 September 2019 and will remain suspended and not be reinstated to Official Quotation until the Company has re-complied with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules and is re-admitted by the ASX to the Official List. If the Acquisition does not proceed, the Company may not complete the re-compliance with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules. As previously disclosed, the Company was due to be removed from the Official List of the ASX if it has not re-complied with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules by 23 September 2021 (subject to the receipt of any extension). The Company has obtained a short extension of the de-listing date to 12 October 2021. If the required Shareholder approvals are obtained at the Meeting, a further extension to the de-listing date will be sought by the Company.
Some of the key requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules are:
27
-
(a) the Company must satisfy the shareholder spread requirements relating to the minimum number of Shareholders and the minimum value of the shareholdings of those Shareholders; and
-
(b) the Company must satisfy the “assets test” as set out in ASX Listing Rule 1.3.
The Company expects that the conduct of the Offer pursuant to this Prospectus will enable the Company to satisfy the above requirements.
In the event that the Company does not receive Conditional Approval by 31 October 2021 (or any extension thereof), the Acquisition will not proceed, and no Shares will be issued pursuant to this Prospectus. If this occurs, the Company will repay all application monies received by it in connection with this Prospectus within the time prescribed under the Corporations Act, without interest. If the Company has not re-complied with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules by the applicable de-listing date (or any extension thereof), ASX will remove the Company from the Official List.
4.11 Restricted Securities and Free Float
Subject to the Company being admitted to the Official List and completing the Offer and Acquisition, certain Securities on issue (including the Consideration Shares) may be classified by ASX as restricted securities and will be required to be held in escrow for up to 24 months from the date of Official Quotation. The Company anticipates that:
-
(a) all Consideration Shares will be restricted from trading for a period of 12 months from the date of Settlement of the Acquisition; and
-
(b) all Director Options and Lead Manager Options will be escrowed for a period of 24 months from the date of recommencement of trading of the Company’s Shares on the Official List.
No Shares issued pursuant to the Offer will be subject to any escrow requirements by the ASX.
The Company will announce to the ASX full details (quantity and duration) of the Securities required to be held in escrow prior to the Company’s Shares being reinstated to trading on ASX (which reinstatement is subject to ASX’s discretion and approval).
Upon the Minimum Subscription being raised under this Prospectus, the Company’s ‘free float’, being the percentage of Shares not subject to escrow and which are held by Shareholders that are not related parties or promoters of the Company (or their associates) at the time of admission to the Official List, will be approximately 83.09%, comprising all Shares on issue following completion of the Offers, other than Shares held by related parties and promoters of the Company and Shares subject to ASX imposed escrow.

5. COMPANY AND PROJECTS OVERVIEW
5.1 Background
Transcendence Technologies Limited (ACN 096 781 716) (to be renamed ‘Redcastle Resources Limited’) was incorporated on 11 May 2001 and was admitted to the Official List of ASX on 19 March 2003 under the name Greater Pacific Capital Limited as a diversified financials company with exposure to the provision and management of finance facilities to various property and infrastructure developments. Recently, the Company has been focused on the ‘ECollate’ app and building compliance solutions for corporate services and the financial services industry.
As announced on 29 July 2021, the Company, through its subsidiary E-Collate Pty Ltd (ACN 608 766 123), has entered into an agreement with the owners of the Tenements, to acquire 100% of the right, title and interest in the Tenements (together with all technical and other information relating to the Tenements).
Further details with respect to the Project are set out in Section 5.5.1, the Independent Geologist’s Report set out in Annexure A and the Solicitor’s Report on title set out in Annexure B.
The Acquisition is conditional on the Company obtaining all necessary regulatory and Shareholder approvals (as detailed at Section 4.3) to effect the Acquisition and satisfying all other requirements of ASX for the reinstatement to official quotation of the Company’s Shares on the ASX (among other things) ( Official Quotation ). Refer to Section 8.2 for the summary of the terms and conditions of the Acquisition Agreement.
In connection with the proposed Acquisition, the Company will change its name to “Redcastle Resources Limited” and will change its ticker code to “RC1”.
Following completion of the Acquisition, the Company’s group structure will be as follows:

5.2 Background to the Acquisition
Prior to executing the Acquisition Agreement, the Board considered several potential acquisition opportunities. As with any business or asset that does not have a meaningful track record of revenue and profitability, there is not always an appropriate formal valuation methodology available when determining consideration. However, based on the Company’s legal and technical due diligence process, and the representations and warranties provided by the Vendors, it considered the acquisition of the Project to be the best path forward to generate value for Shareholders and the Company. In addition, based on the board’s experience and background, it considered that the Acquisition compared favourably to recent third-party re-compliance listing transactions involving mineral exploration assets, given the exploration potential of the Project.
The value of the 42,500,000 Consideration Shares to be issued to the Vendors is $850,000 based on the issue price of Shares under the Offer. In addition, as set out in Section 8.3, the Company will grant the Vendors a 2% overriding gross revenue royalty over all minerals sold from the Tenements and the right to explore for alluvial gold (up to 5m from the surface). The Board considers that the quantum of the Consideration Shares to be issued in consideration for the Acquisition reflects reasonable fair value of the Project in view of the key investment highlights set out in Section 5.4 of the Prospectus.
In determining the consideration for the Acquisition, the Company also took into account the following considerations:
-
(a) recent third-party backdoor listing and IPO transactions involving acquisitions of similar stage and commodity mineral exploration assets;
-
(b) the fact that the consideration is all in scrip, therefore allowing the Company’s cash reserves to be directed to development of the Project;
-
(c) the Board’s assessment of the future prospects of the Project based on its review of the Project in terms of the previous exploration work completed on the Project; and
-
(d) the Board’s assessment of likely investor appetite to fund ongoing exploration and development work at the Project given its location, stage of development, commodity focus, potential for scale and agreed acquisition cost.
The Company was required to take into account the above qualitative factors, in coming to a decision on price, as at the time of entry into the Acquisition Agreement, there were no defined mineral resources or ore reserves at the Project.
The opportunity presented under the Acquisition presents Shareholders with the opportunity to hold a position in an exploration project which is underexplored and considered to be prospective for gold.
5.3 Board and Management
Prior to re-listing on the ASX and subject to completion of the Acquisition, existing Director Mauro Piccini will resign, and Trevor Dixon will be appointed, such that the Board of the Company on listing on ASX will be comprised of:
- (a) Trevor Dixon – Technical Director;
30
-
(b) Jeremy King – Non-Executive Chairman; and
-
(c) Patrick Holywell – Non-Executive Director.
The profiles of each of the above Directors are set out in Section 7.1.
5.4 Key Investment Highlights
The Current Directors and Proposed Director are of the view that the following non-exhaustive list of advantages may be relevant to an investor’s decision to apply for Shares under the Offer:
-
(a) the Company will obtain ownership of the Redcastle Project pursuant to the Acquisition, which the Company considers is reasonably prospective for gold;
-
(b) the potential increase in market capitalisation of the Company following completion of the Acquisition and the Offer may lead to access to improved equity capital market opportunities and increased liquidity;
-
(c) Shareholders may be exposed to further debt and equity opportunities that the Company did not have prior to the Acquisition;
-
(d) the Company will re-comply with the ASX Listing Rules, ensuring its reinstatement to quotation and continued liquidity of its listed Shares (however, the Company notes that the ASX reserves the right to re-admit the Company and there is no guarantee that the Company will successfully re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules);
-
(e) the appointment of the Proposed Director will add experience and skill to the Board to assist with the growth of the Company; and
-
(f) the cash reserves of the Company will be conserved as the consideration payable by the Company in respect of the Acquisition is comprised of Shares.
5.5 Overview of the Redcastle Project
As announced on 29 July 2021, the Project is a gold focused holding consisting of:
-
(a) one (1) pending Mining Lease (MLA) (which is expected to be granted in the next 3-6 months, following completion of the negotiation process with the relevant native title group);
-
(b) one (1) granted Mining Lease; and
-
(c) nine (9) granted Prospecting Licences (PL’s),
The Tenements are currently held by the Vendors: Trevor Dixon, Ross Crew, Russell McKnight and Robert Johnson.
The tenements comprising the Project ( Tenements ) are set out below:
| Tenement | Area (ha) | Expiry Date | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| M39/318 | 106 | 15/09/2036 | Live |
| P39/5184 | 54 | 15/12/2019 | Live |
31
| Tenement | Area (ha) | Expiry Date | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| M39/1140 | 54 | - | Pending |
| P39/5307 | 155 | 05/02/2022 | Live |
| P39/5337 | 58 | 16/01/2022 | Live |
| P39/5568 | 151 | 17/04/2024 | Live |
| P39/5573 | 123 | 18/04/2024 | Live |
| P39/5814 | 197 | 07/02/2022 | Live |
| P39/5815 | 172 | 07/02/2022 | Live |
| P39/5858 | 57 | 01/07/2022 | Live |
| P39/6185 | 15 | 30/06/2025 | Live |
As noted above, one of the Tenements (M39/1140) is currently at the application stage and has not yet been granted. The application is an application to convert one of the other Tenements (a granted prospecting licence, P39/5184) into a mining lease. The term of P39/5184 will be extended until the application for M39/1140 has been determined. This means that, following completion of the Acquisition, the Company will be able to carry out exploration activities on the ground the subject of the application pursuant to the rights under the existing prospecting licence. As noted above, the Company expects that the application for M39/1140 will be determined in the next 3-6 months (following completion of the negotiation process with relevant native title group).
The consideration payable for the Acquisition is 42,500,000 Shares, to be issued to the parties set out below:
-
(a) Mr Trevor Dixon - 23,250,000 Consideration Shares;
-
(b) Mr Ross Crew – 3,875,000 Consideration Shares;
-
(c) Mr Russell McKnight – 13,375,000 Consideration Shares; and
-
(d) Mr Robert Johnson – 2,000,000 Consideration Shares.
5.5.1 Redcastle Project
The Project covers a prospective area of 1088ha, surrounding the locality of the historical Redcastle Mining Centre within the Mt Morgans District of the Mt Margaret Mineral Field of WA. The Project lies 62km east-southeast of Leonora and 25km due south of the Minara Nickel Operation. Access is from the Leonora to Laverton sealed road, 60km east of Leonora and thence 25km south via the Butcher Well graded haul road that runs 5km to the east of the Project. The Murrin Murrin to Yundamindera road and numerous other unsealed tracks allow easy access to the Tenements.
32
==> picture [380 x 415] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 1: Redcastle Project Location
Gold was first discovered at the Redcastle Project by Sligo and party in 1894. The recorded gold production from 1897 to 1954 from the Redcastle Mining Centre (which is almost entirely within M39/318) is 2,629.15 tonnes treated for the production of 2,027.48 ounces of gold, at an average recovered grade of 24.29g/t. The selectively mined ore consisted of supergene enriched quartz veins and stringers from between 10-20m below the Cainozoic laterite surface, that is, down to 14m below the present surface. Refer to the Independent Geologist’s Report at Annexure A for further information regarding previous exploration undertaken on the Tenements. The Company has identified immediate target areas based on its review of historical exploration results including a drilling program by previous tenement owners.
The area is structurally complex hosting the axis of the regionally north-south trending prospective Redcastle Anticline and a series of EW and WNW thrusts and faults with associated quartz stockworks and quartz veining that host the majority of gold mineralisation in the region. A complex series of folds and shear zones have developed in the area which disrupt and repeat the stratigraphic distribution of the rock units. The majority of the area has been overlain by lateritic crusts and post lateritic paleo-channel sediments. Gold mineralisation is usually associated with shear zones and quartz veining (such as the ‘Redcastle Reef').
33
The northern portion of the Project area hosts the 7.5km long east-west trending mineralised ‘Redcastle Reef’ (as shown in Figure 1 above).
Exploration is focusing on the delineation of structures sub-parallel to the Redcastle Reef that could potentially be concealed beneath the weathered regolith.
The Redcastle area is located in the central portion of the Archaean Norseman to Wiluna greenstone belt, which hosts numerous world class gold, nickel, lithium, rare earth and copper-zinc deposits. The rocks range from ultramafic to felsic volcanics, plus sedimentary rocks of all types, and later granitoids and dolerite dykes. These ancient rocks have been subjected to several periods of folding and faulting, resulting in a deformed package.
As detailed in the Independent Geologist’s Report, gold mineralisation in the region occurs in a variety of settings, commonly structurally controlled and near rocks of contrasting strength or mineral composition. Very commonly gold mineralisation is controlled by shear zones, with mineral alteration such as chlorite, sericite, pyrite, and quartz veining. These zones can have dips of any angle, but are commonly steep. The most famous of the mineralised structures at Redcastle is the Redcastle Reef, a gently curved structure occurring along the axial plane of a near east west fold that has an extensive strike length (almost 5km). This structure is crossed almost at right angles by the Redcastle Anticline.
The Redcastle Reef is a steep dipping zone of chlorite alteration that has several sub parallel zones of mineralisation. Many of these remain relatively surprisingly unexplored.
The Company is keen to explore and expand its holdings and secure additional tenements within the Redcastle area. The Company intends to acquire (subject to the Conditions) a 100% interest in the rights, title and interest in the Tenements. The Vendors of the Tenements will retain rights to all alluvial gold (as detailed below) and a 2% overriding gross royalty over all minerals sold from the Tenements (as detailed at Section 8.3).
5.5.2 Vendors’ Rights to Alluvial Gold
As detailed at Section 8.2, E-Collate Pty Ltd will grant the Vendors the right to explore and exploit all alluvial gold contained from the surface to 5 metres below the natural surface of the ground on the Tenements ( Alluvial Gold Rights ).
Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement and the Alluvial Gold Rights:
-
(a) at all times while the Vendors exercise the Alluvial Gold Rights on the Tenements the Vendors must:
-
(i) only use hand held metal detectors to prospect and explore for alluvial gold;
-
(ii) only use mechanical scraping, dozing, chiselling or grading equipment to exploit any alluvial gold; and
-
(iii) must not disturb, conduct prospecting, exploration or mining on a portion of the Tenements that is below a depth of 5 metres below the natural surface of the land of the relevant Tenements.
34
-
(b) the Vendors must satisfy all rehabilitation obligations attributable to the activities undertaken by the Vendors, or their contractors or agent, on the Tenements and will be solely liable for all rehabilitation obligations;
-
(c) the Vendors indemnify E-Collate Pty Ltd for all rehabilitation and royalty obligations attributable to the activities undertaken by the Vendors or the Vendors' contractors or agents on the Tenements;
-
(d) the activities of the Vendors in exercising the Alluvial Gold Rights are subject to the current or proposed activities of the Company and E- Collate Pty Ltd, which will take priority; and
-
(e) if at any time, the Company or E-Collate Pty Ltd delineates a compliant resource under the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves and lodges a mine plan with the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety, the Company or E- Collate Pty Ltd may terminate the Alluvial Gold Rights for the areas set out in the mine plan for mining and all ancillary activities by giving no less than 6 months' notice in writing.
5.5.3 Proposed Exploration Programme at the Redcastle Project
As noted above, a number of different mineralisation styles and targets have been identified.
Several prospects already have ready-to-go established drill targets. Following completion of the Acquisition, the Company intends to undertake modelling and interpretation, in conjunction with a critical re-assessment of the geology and the historical exploration data of the Project.
It is currently proposed that the initial exploration program proposed by the Company for the Project will include a total of approximately $2,221,000 budgeted for the first two financial years following completion of the Offer as set out in the table below:
| Item | Year 1 (A$) |
Year 2 (A$) |

6. RISK FACTORS
The business, assets and operations of the Company, including after completion of the Acquisition, are subject to certain risk factors that have the potential to influence the operating and financial performance of the Company in the future. These risks can impact on the value of an investment in the securities of our Company.
The Board aims to manage these risks by carefully planning its activities and implementing risk control measures. Some of the risks are, however, highly unpredictable and the extent to which the Board can effectively manage them is limited.
The risks and uncertainties described below are not intended to be exhaustive. The summary of risks that follows is not intended to be exhaustive and this Prospectus does not take into account the personal circumstances, financial position or investment requirements of any particular person. There may be additional risks and uncertainties that the Company is unaware of or that the Company currently considers to be immaterial, which may affect the Company, or its related entities and consequently Applicants. Based on the information available, a non-exhaustive list of risk factors for the Company associated with the Company’s proposal to undertake the Acquisition is as follows.
6.1 Risks relating to the Change in Nature and Scale of Activities
(a) Completion Risk
Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, the Company will acquire 100% of the right, title and interest in the Tenements, the exercise and completion of which is subject to the fulfilment of certain conditions.
The Acquisition constitutes a significant change in the nature and scale of the Company’s activities and the Company needs to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules as if it were seeking admission to the Official List of ASX. Trading in the Company’s Shares is currently suspended and will remain suspended until the Company re-complies with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules following completion of the Acquisition.
There is a risk that the conditions for completion of the Acquisition cannot be fulfilled, including where the Company is unable to meet the requirements of the ASX for re-quotation of its Securities on the ASX. If the Acquisition are not completed, the Company will incur costs relating to advisors and other costs without any material benefit being achieved. Should this occur, Shares will not be able to be traded on the ASX until such time as the Company has recompiled with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules and Shareholders may be prevented from trading their Shares until such time as a successful re-compliance is completed.
The Company’s Securities have been suspended from quotation since 23 September 2019 and will remain suspended and not be reinstated to Official Quotation until the Company has re-complied with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules and is re-admitted by the ASX to the Official List. If the Acquisition does not proceed, the Company may not complete the re-compliance with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules. The Company was due to be removed from the Official List of the ASX if it has not re-complied with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules by 23 September 2021 (subject to the receipt of any extension). The Company
41
has obtained a short extension of the de-listing date to 12 October 2021. If the required Shareholder approvals are obtained at the Meeting, a further extension to the de-listing date will be sought by the Company.
(b) Dilution Risk
The Company currently has 60,783,999 Shares on issue (on a postConsolidation basis). Pursuant to the Acquisition and the Offers, the Company proposes to issue (on a post-Consolidation basis):
-
(i) 42,500,000 Consideration Shares;
-
(ii) 225,000,000 Offer Shares;
-
(iii) 30,000,000 Lead Manager Options to Xcel Capital;
-
(iv) 4,000,000 Options to Mr Peter Wall;
-
(v) 4,000,000 Options to Mr Jeremy King; and
-
(vi) 4,000,000 Options to Mr Patrick Holywell;
After the Consolidation and the issue of the Securities the subject of the Offers:
-
(i) the existing Shareholders will retain approximately 18.52% of the Company’s issued Share capital;
-
(ii) the Vendors will hold approximately 12.95% of the Company’s issued Share capital; and
-
(iii) the investors under the Offer will hold approximately 68.54% of the Company’s issued Share capital.
(c) Additional Requirements for Capital
The funds to be raised under the Offer are considered sufficient to meet the immediate objectives of the Company. Additional funding may be required in the event costs exceed the Company’s estimates and to effectively implement its business and operational plans in the future to take advantage of opportunities for acquisitions, joint ventures or other business opportunities, and to meet any unanticipated liabilities or expenses which the Company may incur. If such events occur, additional funding will be required.
In addition, should the Company consider that its exploration results justify commencement of production on any of its projects, additional funding will be required to implement the Company’s development plans, the quantum of which remain unknown at the date of this Prospectus.
Following completion of the Offer, the Company may seek to raise further funds through equity or debt financing, joint ventures, licensing arrangements, or other means. Failure to obtain sufficient financing for the Company’s activities may result in delay and indefinite postponement of their activities and the Company’s proposed expansion strategy. There can be no assurance that additional finance will be available when needed or, if available, the terms of the financing may
42
not be favourable to the Company and might involve substantial dilution to Shareholders.
(d)
Going Concern Risk
As set out in the Independent Limited Assurance Report at Annexure C, the Company (and its subsidiary) for the year ended 30 June 2021, incurred a net loss after tax of $333,124 (2020: loss of $412,615) and had net cash outflows used in operations of $254,477. These events or conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s (and its subsidiary’s) ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company (and its subsidiaries) have not generated significant revenues from operations and the Directors have prepared cash flow forecasts which indicate that the Company’s current cash resources will not be sufficient to fund planned exploration expenditure, other principal activities and working capital requirements without the raising of additional capital.
However, the Directors are satisfied that, following completion of the Offer, the Company will be able to continue as a going concern while carrying out its planned exploration expenditure, other principal activities and working capital requirements. The Directors are also confident that they are able to manage discretionary spending in order to ensure that cash is available to meet the Company’s (and its subsidiary’s) debts as and when they fall due.
6.2 Company Specific
(a) Tenure and access risk
Applications
While the Company does not anticipate there to be any issues with the grant of its Tenement application, there can be no assurance that the application (or any future applications) will be granted. While the Company considers the risk to be low, there can also be no assurance that when the relevant tenement is granted, it will be granted in its entirety. Some of the tenement areas applied for may be excluded.
Renewal
Mining and exploration tenements are subject to periodic renewal. The renewal of the term of granted tenements is subject to the discretion of the relevant authority. Renewal conditions may include increased expenditure and work commitments or compulsory relinquishment of areas of the tenements. The imposition of new conditions or the inability to meet those conditions may adversely affect the operations, financial position and/or performance of the Company.
Access
A number of the tenements overlap certain third party interests that may limit the Company’s ability to conduct exploration and mining activities, including private land, Crown Reserves, areas on which native title is yet to be determined and other forms of tenure for railways, pipelines and similar third party interests.
43
Where the Project overlaps private land, exploration and mining activity on the Project may require authorisation or consent from the owners of that land. The Company is not required to enter into land access agreements to undertake its proposed exploration program on the Tenements. However, the Company intends to carry out heritage clearance surveys before implementing its proposed exploration program. The Company’s current proposed exploration program is not impacted by the known sites of registered aboriginal heritage significance.
In circumstances where authorisation or consent is delayed or not granted, the Company would be required to engage in a court process to obtain an easement for it to access the land to conduct its proposed exploration activities. There is a risk that this process could result in the Company incurring additional cost or that it could create delays to the Company’s proposed exploration program. Further, if the relevant easement is not granted, then depending on the significance of the mining tenements involved, this could impact upon the Company’s operations.
The Company will also require consent of the Minister or from relevant native title parties prior to commencing exploration and development of parts of the Project that are subject to Crown Reserves, outstanding Native Title determinations or Indigenous Land Use Agreements. Please refer to the Solicitor’s Report set out in Annexure B for further details.
(b) Exploration Risk
Potential investors should understand that mineral exploration and development are high-risk undertakings. There can be no assurance that exploration of the Project, or any other tenements that may be acquired in the future, will result in the discovery of an economic ore deposit. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited.
The future exploration activities of the Company 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, native title process, changing government regulations and many other factors beyond the control of the Company.
The success of the Company will also depend upon the Company having access to sufficient development capital, being able to maintain title to its projects and obtaining all required approvals for its activities. In the event that exploration programmes prove to be unsuccessful this could lead to a diminution in the value of the Tenements, a reduction in the cash reserves of the Company and possible relinquishment of its projects.
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 significant uncertainties and, accordingly, the actual costs may materially differ from these 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 affect the Company’s viability.
44
(c) Mine Development Risk
Possible future development of a mining operation at the Company’s Project 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 level of funding and contracting risk from third parties providing essential services.
If the Company commences production, its operations may be disrupted by a variety of risks and hazards which are beyond its control, including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, technical failures, labour disputes, unusual or unexpected rock formations, flooding and extended interruptions due to inclement or hazardous weather conditions and fires, explosions or accidents. No assurance can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the development or mining of its projects and treatment of ore.
(d)
Climate Change
The operations and activities of the Company are subject to changes to local or international compliance regulations related to climate change mitigation efforts, specific taxation or penalties for carbon emissions or environmental damage and other possible restraints on industry that may further impact the Company. While the Company will endeavour to manage these risks and limit any consequential impacts, there can be no guarantee that the Company will not be impacted by these occurrences.
Climate change may also cause certain physical and environmental risks that cannot be predicted by the Company, including events such as increased severity of weather patterns, 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 the Company operates.
(e) COVID-19
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, including limitations on travel to jurisdictions in which the Company identifies potential end-users for its products, may adversely impact the Company’s operations and are likely to be beyond the control of the Company.
The Company is monitoring the situation closely and considers the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business and financial performance to be limited. However, the situation is continually evolving, and the consequences are therefore inevitably uncertain.
45
(f) Reliance on Key Personnel
The Company’s future depends, in part, on its ability to attract and retain key personnel. It may not be able to hire and retain such personnel at compensation levels consistent with its existing compensation and salary structure. Its future also depends on the continued contributions of its key management and technical personnel, the loss of whose services would be difficult to replace. In addition, the inability to continue to attract appropriately qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.
(g) Restricted Securities Reducing Liquidity
Subject to the Company being admitted to the Official List, certain securities on issue prior to the Offers will be classified by ASX as restricted securities and will be required to be held in escrow for up to 24 months from the date of Official Quotation. During the period in which these securities are prohibited from being transferred, trading in Shares may be less liquid which may impact on the ability of a Shareholder to dispose of his or her Shares in a timely manner.
The Company will announce to the ASX full details (quantity and duration) of the Shares required to be held in escrow prior to the Shares commencing trading on ASX.
6.3 Industry Specific Risks
(a) Exploration Costs
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 significant uncertainties and, accordingly, the actual costs may materially differ from these 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 affect the Company’s viability.
(b) Operations
The operations of the Company may be affected by various factors, including failure to locate or identify mineral deposits, failure to achieve predicted grades in exploration and mining, operational and technical difficulties encountered in mining, difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment, mechanical failure or plant breakdown, unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect extraction costs, adverse weather conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes and unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment.
No assurances can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the successful exploration and/or mining of its tenement interests. Until the Company is able to realise value from its projects, it is likely to incur ongoing operating losses.
46
(c) Environmental
The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to Australian laws and regulations concerning the environment. As with most exploration projects and mining operations, the Company’s activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if advanced exploration or mine development proceeds. It is the Company’s intention to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws.
Mining operations have inherent risks and liabilities associated with safety and damage to the environment and the disposal of waste products occurring as a result of mineral exploration and production. The occurrence of any such safety or environmental incident could delay production or increase production costs. Events, such as unpredictable rainfall or fires may impact on the Company’s ongoing compliance with environmental legislation, regulations and licences. Significant liabilities could be imposed on the Company for damages, clean-up costs or penalties in the event of certain discharges into the environment, environmental damage caused by previous operations or noncompliance 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 the Company’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.
(d) Native title
The Native Title Act recognises and protects the rights and interests in Australia of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in land and waters, according to their traditional laws and customs. There is significant uncertainty associated with Native Title in Australia and this may impact on the Company's operations and future plans.
The Company is not required to enter into land access agreements to undertake its proposed exploration program on the Tenements. However, the Company intends to carry out heritage clearance surveys before implementing its proposed exploration program. The Company’s current proposed exploration program is not impacted by the known sites of registered aboriginal heritage significance.
In relation to Tenements which the Company has an interest in or will in the future acquire such an interest, there may be areas over which legitimate common law native title rights exist. The Project (including the pending Tenement application) currently overlaps the Nyalpa Pimiku (WC2019/002) native title claim and a number of sites of registered Aboriginal heritage significance. Without more detailed research into the sites and how they might be affected by future works, it is impossible to anticipate whether such approvals will be forthcoming or what conditions might attach to such approval.
The Company notes that:
47
-
(i) all of the Tenements are within the external boundaries of the Claim;
-
(ii) the Claim was registered by the National Native Title Tribunal on 15 May 2019 but has not yet been determined by the Federal Court (to the extent that Native Title exists);
-
(iii) it has not identified anything in its enquiries to indicate that the granted Tenements which are subject patience to the Claim were not validly granted in accordance with the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) ( NTA ); and
-
(iv) in relation to the Tenement application which is subject to the Claim, for this to be granted, the Company will need to comply with the procedural requirements relating to the grant of a mining tenement in the NTA.
6.4 General Risks
(a) 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 the Company, as well as on its ability to fund its operations.
(b)
Commodity price volatility and exchange rate risk
The Company’s operating results, economic and financial prospects and other factors will affect the trading price of the Shares. In addition, the price of Shares is subject to varied and often unpredictable influences on the market for equities, including, but not limited to, general economic conditions including the performance of the Australian dollar on world markets, inflation rates, foreign exchange rates and interest rates, variations in the general market for listed stocks in general, changes to government policy, legislation or regulation, industrial disputes, general operational and business risks and hedging or arbitrage trading activity that may develop involving the Shares.
In particular, the share prices for many companies have been and may in the future be highly volatile, which in many cases may reflect a diverse range of non-company specific influences such as global hostilities and tensions relating to certain unstable regions of the world, acts of terrorism and the general state of the global economy. No assurances can be made that the Company’s market performance will not be adversely affected by any such market fluctuations or factors.
As the Company’s Shares have been suspended from trading for almost 24 months, there is currently no public market for Shares. There is no guarantee that an active trading market in the Company’s Shares will develop or that the prices at which Shares trade will increase following completion of the Acquisition and the Offer. The prices at which Shares trade may be above or below the Offer price and may fluctuate in response to a number of factors.
(c) Competition risk

The industry in which the Company will be involved is subject to domestic and global competition. Although the Company will undertake reasonable due diligence in its business decisions and operations, the Company 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 the Company.
(d) Market conditions
Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s quoted securities regardless of the Company’s operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:
-
(i) general economic outlook;
-
(ii) introduction of tax reform or other new legislation;
-
(iii) currency fluctuations
-
(iv) interest rates and inflation rates;
-
(v) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;
-
(vi) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and
-
(vii) terrorism or other hostilities.
The market 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, the Directors, or the Proposed Director warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.
Applicants should be aware that there are risks associated with any securities investment. Securities listed on the stock market experience extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated to the operating performance of such companies. These factors may materially affect the market price of the Shares regardless of the Company’s performance.
(e) 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 the Company 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, the Company, 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.
(f) Additional requirements for capital
The Company’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors. The Company may require further financing in addition to amounts raised under the Offer. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings,
49
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. There is however no guarantee that the Company will be able to secure any additional funding or be able to secure funding on terms favourable to the Company.
(g) Agents and contractors
The Company is unable to predict the risk of the insolvency or managerial failure by any of the contractors used (or to be used in the future) by the Company in any of its activities or the insolvency or other managerial failure by any of the other service providers used (or to be used in the future) by the Company for any activity.
(h)
Force majeure
The Company’s projects now or in the future may be adversely affected by risks outside the control of the Company including labour unrest, civil disorder, war, subversive activities or sabotage, fires, floods, explosions or other catastrophes, epidemics or quarantine restrictions.
(i) Litigation risks
Further, the Company 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 the Company’s operations, financial performance and financial position. The Company is not currently engaged in any litigation.
(j) Insurance
The Company intends to insure its operations in accordance with industry practice. However, in certain circumstances the Company’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 the Company.
Insurance of all risks associated with the Company’s business may not always be available and where available the costs may be prohibitive.
6.5 Investment Speculative
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 Shares offered under this Prospectus.
Therefore, the Shares to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus 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 investment in the Company is highly speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.

(e)
Shareholder liability
As the Shares under the Prospectus are fully paid shares, they will not be subject to any calls for money by the Directors and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.
(f) 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 or the ASX Listing Rules.
(g) Future increase in capital
The issue of any new Shares is under the control of the Board of the Company as appointed from time to time. 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 and other Securities as they shall, in their absolute discretion, determine.
(h) 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) may be varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of three quarters of the issued shares of
64
that class, or if authorised by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.
(i) 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 votes validly cast for Shares at the general meeting.

Boulder Resource Consultants Pty Ltd ACN 139 342 859
17[th] September 2021 The Directors, Transcendence Technologies Limited 1/1 Altona Street West Perth WA 6005
Dear Sirs,
Re: Transcendence Technologies Limited (ASX: TTL) Independent Geologist Report
Boulder Resource Consultants Pty Ltd ("BRC") has been engaged by Transcendence Technologies Limited ("TTL" or the "Company'') to prepare an Independent Geological Report ("the Report") on the Redcastle Project located in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia, which will be owned by the Company on the completion of this proposed transaction. The Report is to be included in a Prospectus ("the Prospectus") to be lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission ("ASIC"), on or about 17[th] September 2021, to be issued by Transcendence Technologies Limited (ABN 57 096 781 716) for an offer of 225,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares to raise a minimum of $4,500,000 in the capital of the Company (Shares) at an issue price of $0.02 per Share (before Offer costs) (Offer). The majority of the funds raised under the Offer will be used for the purposes of exploration and evaluation of the Redcastle Project, expenses associated with the preparation of the Prospectus and the Offer and for general working capital.
This technical assessment report is based upon information provided by the Company, along with technical reports by consultants, relevant published and unpublished data for the exploration tenements, and personal knowledge of the areas by the Independent Geologist. A listing of the principal sources of information is included in this Report. BRC has endeavoured, by making all reasonable enquiries, to confirm the authenticity, accuracy, and completeness of the technical data upon which this Report is based. This Report has been prepared in accordance with the Code and Guidelines for Assessment and Valuation of Mineral Assets and Mineral Securities for Independent Expert Reports ("VALMIN Code") and the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves ("JORC Code") December 2012 edition, and the rules and guidelines issued by such bodies as ASIC and Australian Securities Exchange ("ASX") which pertain to Independent Expert Reports. The Report complies with section 716(2) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) where consent is required if statements have been attributed to third parties. In consideration of the definition provided by the ASX and in the JORC Code, these properties are classified as early-stage exploration projects, which are inherently speculative in nature.
The Redcastle Project is considered to be sufficiently prospective, subject to varying degrees of risk, to warrant further exploration and development of their economic potential, consistent with the programmes proposed by TTL. No mineral resources estimations have been reported or discussed in accordance with JORC 2012 guidelines, which are attributable to the Company.
Upon completion of the Offer, the Company will have sufficient working capital to carry out its stated objectives.

1. Executive Summary
Boulder Resource Consultants Pty Ltd (BRC) was requested by Transcendence Technologies Limited (TTL) to prepare an Independent Geologist’s Report (IGR) for its Redcastle Project, located near the Western Australian (WA) mining centres Leonora and Laverton respectively (Figure 1). The Redcastle Project covers 10.88km2 of granted tenure. The Redcastle region has an extensive history dating back to the late 1890s and with some modern exploration over the past 40 years, successfully delineated multiple targets on the project area (Figure 1). Exploration over the past 15 years has been limited to prospecting and preliminary exploration including aeromagnetics surveying, geological mapping and broad spaced shallow drilling. Previous exploration dates from the 1980s and consisted of sporadic shallow RC drilling of old workings and geological mapping. This work has defined several targets as discussed elsewhere in this report. Historical exploration activities at the Redcastle Project have largely focused on investigating the northern portion of those licenses, in areas near the old workings. TTL believes it has identified multiple additional targets that are largely untested and provide the company with immediate exploration opportunities.
TTL has developed an exploration model seeking to identify and delineate shallow gold mineralisation within the Redcastle Project for potential economic extraction through initial open cut mining operations. TTL considers that field exploration can commence soon after listing on the ASX. BRC concurs with the TTL technical team view on the potential prospectivity of the tenements held, planned activities, and agrees with the level of required funding to conduct a reasonable, logical, and systematic exploration program. The Independent Geologist’s Report has been prepared on information available up to and including 14th September 2021.

1. Introduction
This report details all exploration activity on those tenements that comprise the Redcastle Project. Previous exploration has been somewhat disjointed and has consisted of various phases of geological mapping, surface sampling (dumps, tailings and soil geochemistry), airborne geophysical surveying, interpretation and targeting, and several phases of RAB and relatively shallow RC drilling and assaying. Previous explorers have included Hill Minerals in the 1980s and more recently Terrain Minerals. Terrain withdrew from the project in late 2008. None of the previous work has been comprehensive.
2. Location and Access
The Redcastle Project straddles the boundary of the Laverton (SH51-02) 1:250,000 mapsheet and the Edjudina (SH51-06) 1:250,000 mapsheet, and the boundary of the 1:100,000 Minerie (3240) and Yerilla (3239) mapsheets. The historic Redcastle Mining Centre is located at latitude 28[o] 59′ 24″south, and longitude 121[o] 55′ 44″ east, within the Mt. Morgan District of the Mt. Margaret Mineral Field.
The Project lies 62km east-southeast of Leonora and 25km due south of the Minara Nickel Operation. Access is via the Leonora to Laverton sealed road, 60km east of Leonora and thence 25km south via the Butcher Well graded haul road that is positioned 5km to the east of the Project. The Murrin Murrin to Yundamindera road and numerous other unsealed tracks allow easy access to the tenements. The Project tenements lie on the Minara Pastoral Lease.
The northern and western part of the Project area is a dissected low hill mass with the highest point being the flat topped Mt. Redcastle at 487m above mean sea level.

4. Geology and Mineralisation
The Redcastle area is located in the central portion of the Archaean Norseman to Wiluna greenstone belt. This belt hosts numerous world class gold, nickel, lithium, rare earth and copper-zinc deposits. The rocks range from ultramafic to felsic volcanics, plus sedimentary rocks of all types, and later granitoids and dolerite dykes. These ancient rocks have been subjected to several periods of folding and faulting, resulting in a deformed lithological package.
Gold mineralisation in the region occurs in a variety of settings, commonly structurally controlled and near rocks of contrasting strength or mineral composition. Very commonly gold mineralisation is controlled by shear zones, with mineral alteration such as chlorite, sericite, pyrite, and quartz veining. These zones can have dips of any angle, but are commonly steep. The most famous of the mineralised structures at Redcastle is the Redcastle Reef. This is a gently curved structure occurring along the axial plane of a near east west fold that has an extensive strike length (almost 5km). This structure is crossed almost at right angles by the Redcastle Anticline.
The Redcastle Reef is a steep dipping zone of chlorite alteration that has several sub parallel zones of mineralisation. Many of these remain relatively surprisingly unexplored.

5. Previous Exploration
Gold was first discovered at Redcastle by Sligo and party in 1894. The bulk of the previous work was carried out on the Redcastle Reef. The recorded gold production from 1897 to 1954 from the Redcastle Mining Centre, almost entirely within M39/318, is 2,629.15 tonnes treated for the production of 2,027.48. ounces of gold, at an average recovered grade of 24.29g/t (Table 2). The selectively mined ore consisted of supergene enriched quartz veins and stringers from between 10-20m below the Cainozoic laterite surface, that is, down to 14m below the present surface. These figures are summarised in the table below. It is possible that these figures are understated and not all the gold production was recorded.
The table below (Table 3) shows historical drilling results which the Company considers significant (+1g/t Au) (refer to JORC Table 1 ‘Balanced Reporting’ for discussion regarding the choice of grade). The Company notes that the widths are down hole drill hole widths, rather than true widths. The full table of historical drillhole locations and details (Table 7) and the JORC Code Table 1 (Appendix) are included below.

The map below (Figure 4) shows the locations of the above historical production sites (noted in red text) on M39/318 (shown in the green tenement outline). The map also shows the overlap of the historical tenements in comparison to the current M39/318. ‘Queen Mary’, ‘Try Again’, ‘Redcastle Leases’ and ‘Transit’ are located on the right hand side of the map, with ‘Major’ and ‘Altunga’ shown above and below (respectively). ‘Redcastle West Extended’ and ‘Queen Alexandra’ are located on the left hand side of the map. The collection of historical drill sites is presented in Figure 5 and Table 7.
An unknown but probably significant amount of gold nuggets have also been produced from this area. Known alluvial gold produced from the Redcastle Project area from 1970 to 2004 by prospectors and detecting is in excess of 3,000 ounces.

M39/318
Tenement M39/318 contains the majority of the old historical workings. Hill Minerals NL, under various joint ventures between 1982-1989, carried out, gridding, geological mapping, rock chip sampling (both surface and shallow underground and reconnaissance RAB and RC drilling the historic workings. The drill campaigns are regarded as shallow and no drillholes were deeper than about 40 vertical metres.
The Redcastle area has been explored by several companies since the early 1980’s. In 1988 Hill Minerals NL (Keeley 1989) drilled 70 RAB holes (RAB001-070), over three different areas. All holes to were drilled to 20m depth, at -60° for an advance of 1,400m. Two hundred and eighty (280) samples were submitted for fire
9
assay (40gm charge). The vast majority of reported assay results were below 0.1 ppm Au and are regarded as being of a very low order and are not material at this stage of exploration by the Competent Person.
Samples were collected at 2m or 6m intervals or a 2m bottom of hole sample (no sampling method details provided). Nineteen (19) samples at varying width intervals returned intersections averaging >0.1 ppm Au of which eighteen (18) results were below 0.65 ppm Au. Only one intersection returned values >1.0 ppm Au (RAB049) in Table 3. Drillholes RSR01-26 were drilled at Redcastle in (Terrain 1987) for an advance of 389m, the drillholes were very shallow (maximum hole depth 15m), no drillhole intersected bedrock and by far the majority of returned assay results were of a very low order <0.05 g/t Au. The peak 2m intercept was <1.0 g/t Au and is not regarded as significant. No results are reported from this program because details are lacking and sketchy and in the Competent Persons opinion, they are not material at this stage of exploration.
Drillholes RC01-86 were drilled at Redcastle in (Hill Minerals 1982-83). The program included 44 RC holes and 14 RAB holes for an advance of 2,396.25m with an average hole depth of 35m . One thousand and sixtytwo (1,062) samples were collected over the entire drilling program. Samples were collected over 4m composites or 1m intervals and assayed for gold. Numerous 1m >1.0 g/t Au (35) and +2m >1.0 g/t Au (27) anomalous and significant results were received.
Assay results ranging from 0.5g/t to 1.0g/t Au are regarded as anomalous. Results >1.0g/t are regarded as anomalous and significant however, numerous results are confined to individual metre intervals and although reported in Table 3 they are not regarded as significant due to their spatial isolation and narrow width. Results >1.0g/t and over wider widths are regarded as significant by the Competent Person and are also reported in Table 3.
Since the early 1980's, significant amounts of alluvial gold have been discovered from metal-detecting. This activity has been carried out by individual prospectors or small prospecting syndicates. The alluvial gold produced from the Project area from 1970 to 2004 by prospectors and detecting is in excess of 3,000oz.
The only known "modern" exploration of the Redcastle district by an ASX listed company was carried out by Hill Minerals N.L. between 1982 and 1989 who were the operators of a joint venture with major U.S. explorer Kennecott. In spite of getting many significant, shallow ore-grade RC drill intersections, Hill Minerals did not carry out any deeper drilling and did not calculate an ore resource, (Hasleby, 1986; Keeley, 1989).
Sample results ranging from 0.5g/t to 1.0g/t Au are regarded as anomalous but not significant and results >1.0g/t are regarded as anomalous and significant however, considering the majority of results are of a low tenor and not continuous only results >1.0g/t are regarded as significant at this phase of exploration, however the single higher grade intersections are isolated and shallow and in all likelihood represents a small nugget effect in the weathered regolith.
Away from the historic workings it soil sampled and followed up selected anomalous gold values with very shallow RAB drilling. The significant (+1g/t Au) ressults are listed in the tables below. Practically no exploration was undertaken in the 1990s and early 2000’s.
The rocks hosting this mineralisation were logged by Hill Minerals as quartz-sericite schist. Many drill holes ended in mineralisation and the deepest hole was drilled to 55 metres at an angle of 60° to the north. Most mineralised zones are open along strike and at depth and have not been tested below 40-50 metres vertical depth beneath the zone of oxidation and weathering.
Percussion hole R27 returned a shallow three metre intercept grading 21.1g/t gold, which was followed up by more drilling and the eventual sinking of a shaft by W. Rixon in 1986. The shaft was sunk to 16 metres with eight metres of driving to expose an auriferous quartz lens. A 20 tonne parcel was treated at the Laverton State Battery that yielded a recovered grade of 16.5g/t Au and 3.3g/t Ag.

Terrain Minerals
Between 2006-2008 Terrain entered into an agreement with the tenement holders and reviewed previous exploration activities, mapped the surface geology, sampled all known workings, picked up the tenement corners and historic drillholes and created a digital database of all available data. Further RAB drilling at Redcastle was conducted by Terrain Minerals Limited in 2007 and 2008 (Jeffery). The programs were conducted over two years (RR027-110) in 2007 followed by (RR111-208) in 2018 for an advance of 7,148m which included 182 drillholes.
Significant drill intersections from the program are presented in Table 5. The RAB holes were drilled at -60° at various orientations including 210°, 205°, 155°, 190°, 180°, 195°, 220° and 165°. The drill holes were sampled at 5m intervals and mineralised intervals were re-sampled at 1m intervals. Samples were subject to fire assay (40gm charge). The first (2007) drilling included 553 composite samples and 149 1m interval samples (702 assays) and the second (2008) drilling included 939 composite samples and 108 1m interval samples (1,047 samples). Over all the assay results returned twelve (12) results >1 g/t Au and fifteen (15) ranging between ≥ 0.5 g/t and 1.0 g/t Au.
The vast majority of the assay results (1,603 samples) were <0.2 g/t Au of which 1,100 were below the detection level (<0.01 g/t Au). Sample results ranging from 0.5g/t to 1.0g/t Au are regarded as anomalous but not significant. Results >1.0g/t are regarded as anomalous and significant however considering the majority of results are of a low tenor and not continuous only results >1.0g/t are regarded as significant at this phase of exploration. Only five (5) drill holes returned intersections >1.0 g/t Au which are regarded as significant by the Competent Person, significant intersections >1.0 g/t Au are presented in Table 5.
It’s noted by the Competent Person that the assay results ranging from 0.5 to 1.0 g/t Au are isolated and wide spread low order assay results that provide no mineralisation continuity.
Between 2006 and 2008 Terrain conducted a airborne magnetic/radiometric survey (2006) and preliminary imaging and interpretation were also undertaken.
The Terrain Minerals RAB drilling campaign of 182 holes for 7,148m tested a series of geophysical and structural targets. Some of this exploration work was conducted on adjacent tenements outside the current project area. Significantly Terrain did not test the historic workings at all.
Significant (+1g/t Au) results from all known historic drilling are shown in the tables below. Note that all widths are downhole drill hole widths, not true widths.

6. Conclusions
The Redcastle Project has had some sporadic exploration with some encouraging results. None of the drilling has been deep, with most of the holes being drilled to depths of less than 50 metres. Potential for the discovery of additional mineralisation below 50 metres from surface must be considered to be high. BRC has reviewed the previous work completed by the various explorers and concludes that the work was carried out to international industry standards applicable of the time.
The company has developed a two year exploration budget which is designed to better explore the project than in the past. The aim is the discovery and definition of open pitable gold resources that could lead to a development opportunity. The proposed work and budget has been reviewed by the author and is considered to be well thought out and approporiate for the project. The program and budget is presented in Table 6 below.

The Valmin Code 2015 edition guidelines , particularly Sections 8.4 and 8.5 state that an economic evaluation of a project cannot be disclosed ignoring appropriate Modifying Factors (studies are required to be at a minimum of pre feasibility study (PFS) level) or alternatively using in situ Mineral Resources Estimates or Ore Reserves. As per the JORC Code these modifying Factors are matters of consideration used to convert Mineral Resources to Ore Reserves. These commonly are mining, processing, metallurgical, infrastructure, economic, marketing, legal, governmental, environmental and other factors. No such JORC compliant resources have been estimated at Redcastle to date. Having considered these factors and the results of the historic exploration the author has formed the opinion that the projects warrant the proposed exploration program as outlined by the company.
Boulder Resource Consultants concludes that the Redcastle Project has areas of immediate potential and other areas that remain relatively unenxplored, however the potential of the project for new discoveries remains high. The company has an opportunity to benefit from the proposed work and the possible results and so in the opinion of the author the exploration program and budget is justified.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)
| Criteria | JORC Code Explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Sampling techniques |
(a) Nature and quality of sampling (eg 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. (b) Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. (c) Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. (d) In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised toproduce a 30gcharge for fire assay’). In other |
(a) Samples collected to date include rock chip (surface and underground), bulk soils and riffle splits from RC samples and tube sampling for RAB drilling. This sampling is all historic and dates from the 1980s through to 2008. (b) All historic RC and RAB drilling yielded samples on a metre basis. Holes were drilled both vertically and more commonly at -60 ° angles with samples being collected from the drill site, from which a representative bagged sub-sample of approx. 2-3 kg is dispatched for assay. Once at the Lab the sample is pulverised and split to produce a 50 or 40 gram charge for fire assay analysis. (c) Historic sample preparation methodology includes all sampled material being dried and pulverized to nominally 85% passing 75 µm particle size. Gold analysis methods included 50g or 40g Fire Assays charges. Samples exceeding the upper limit of the anaalytical method were commonlyre-assayed utilizinga high |

grade gravimetric method. | |
|---|---|---|
| Drilling techniques |
(a) Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so,bywhat method,etc). |
(a) The RAB holes were typically 100mm in diameter, whilst the RC holes using cross over subs were generally 125-140mm in diameter. |
| Drill sample recovery |
(a) Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. (b) Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. (c) 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. |
(a) Sample recoveries were not always recorded however when assessed they were logged onto paper logs during drilling. Recoveries were visually assessed. (b) Sample recoveries were maximised during the drilling with collection of the sub-samples, usually 2-3kg, on site from the rig cyclone. (c) No relationship appears in the data between sample recovery and grade of the samples. No sample bias has been observed in the data |
| Logging | (a) 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. (b) Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography. (c) The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. |
(a) All historic drill holes were geologically logged. This logging appears to be of reasonable quality and suitable for use in further studies. Today’s QA/QC methodologies were not implemented in the sampling process due to the passage of time and methods of the day. The results are regarded as not suitable for Mineral Resource Estimations. (b) Qualitative logging includes classification and description of lithology, weathering, oxidation, colour, texture and grain size. Quantitative logging includes percentages of identified minerals, veining, and structural observations (c) All samples / intersections / intervals are logged, usually on a 1m basis. 100% of relevant length of intersections are logged and recorded. |
| Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation |
(a) If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. (b) If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry. |
(a) Drill chip RAB sample material is tube sampled at the drill site, the vast majority of samples were collected dry. RC samples were riffle split and also collected on site. (b) The laboratory sample preparation technique is the total bagged |
33
| (c) For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. (d) Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. (e) Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling. (f) Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. |
sub-sample material (2-3kg) is dried and pulverized to nominally 85% passing 75 µm particle size, from which a representative 50g or 40g charge was riffle split off for assay. (c) Standard check (known value) and blank samples were only used in used in the more recent (2007-08) drilling. Where the known assay values correspond closely with the expected values. When taking a duplicate (a repeat of the same sampled interval) they were commonly inserted along with every 40 or so samples taken. No standards (Certified Reference Material) or blanks were used in the earlier (1980s vintage) RAB or RC drilling. (d) The sample size is industry standard and appears suitable for the historicprogrammes and the type of drill methods utalised. |
|
|---|---|---|
| Quality of assay data and laboratory tests |
(a) The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total. (b) For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc. (c) Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision have been established. |
The analytical methods used by the various historic analyticallaboratories ensure a total sample analysis. Fire Assay fusion is considered to be a total extraction technique. The majority of assay data used the Fire Assay technique with AAS or ICP finish. AAS and ICP methods of detection are both considered to be suitable and appropriate methods of detection for this style of mineralisation. The laboratory used in the most recent (2007-08) drilling is internationally accredited for QAQC in mineral analysis. No QAQC data exists for the earlier drilling programs. (a) No geophysical tools have been used in assessing the data to date. (b) The laboratory used in the most recent (2007-08) drilling inserted their own standards, blank and check samples for each batch of samples analysed and reported these accordingly with the other results. The laboratory check samples are within acceptable levels. No data regarding standards exists for the earlier drilling programs. |
| Verification of sampling and assaying |
(a) The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel. (b) The use of twinned holes. (c) Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols. (d) Discuss anyadjustment to assaydata. |
(a) For the most recent (2008-08) drilling, selected duplicates were assayed to check for repeatability, values are within acceptable limits. No peer reviews have been conducted to date to check the validity. Verification of sampling, assay techniques, and results prior to 2008 is limited due to the legacy of the involvement of various companies, personnel, drilling |
34
| equipment, sampling protocols and analytical techniques at different laboratories. No data exists for the earlier programs. (a) No twinned holes have been completed to date. (b) Documentation of primary geological data is field log sheets (hand written). Primary data has been entered into an application specific data base. The data base is subjected to data verification program, erroneous data is corrected. Data storage is retention of physical log sheet. Two electronic backup storage devices and a primary electronic database have been used. |
||
|---|---|---|
| Location of data points |
(a) Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation. (b) Specification of the grid system used. (c) Quality and adequacy of topographic control. |
(a) In the case of the most recent (2007-08) drilling, the survey control used is a hand held GPS. The earlier drilling was surveyed on local grids. No down hole surveys were completed to date. As these areas contain drillholes of no more than 100m depth significant drillhole deviations are not expected. (b) The Grid system uses MGA94 zone 51 coordinates for the most recent (2007-08) drilling. The earlier drilling used local grids which have been translated into MGA via survey pickup. (c) Topographic control is assumed, however the areas has some relief and a digital terrain model derived from the most recent aeromagnetic survey should be used to interpolate the RLs. This work has notyet been undertaken. |
| Data spacing and distribution |
(a) Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. (b) Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied. (c) Whether sample compositinghas been applied. |
(a) Within the Project drill spacing is highly variable. (b) The areas do not have a drilling density sufficient for JORC Inferred category. Further infill drilling using todays QAQC methodologies will be required. (c) Sample compositing was used in most holes, selected anomalous intervals were re-sampled over 1m intervals. |
| Orientation of data in relation to geological structure |
(a) Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type. (b) If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material. |
(a) The orientation of the historic drilling is approximately at right angles to the strike of the stratigraphy and targets and thus gives a fair representation of the mineralisation intersected. (b) No sampling bias is believed to occur due to the orientation of the drilling. No orientation sampling bias has been identified in the data thus far. |
35
| Sample security |
(a) The measures taken to ensure sample security. |
(a) Historic samples were delivered to the laboratories in many batches by various companies over the years. No information exists regardingsample securityor storage. |
|---|---|---|
| Audits or reviews |
(a) The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. |
No audits or reviews have been undertaken to date. Drilling, sampling methodologies and assay techniques used in the drilling programs are considered to be appropriate and to the mineral exploration industry standards of the day. (a) The historic data has been entered into an electronic database and checked forgross errors. The database is in a useable format. |
Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results
(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.)
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Mineral tenement and land tenure status |
(a) Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings. (b) The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area. |
(a) The Redcastle Project is 60km east of Leonora within the Mt Morgan District of the Mt Margaret Mineral Field. The tenement status is summarised in Section 3 of this report (b) The current tenements are granted by the WA Minister of Mines with various terms and conditions, see the tenement status section of this report and the Independent Solicitors report. |
| Exploration done by other parties |
(a) Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
(a) Acknowledgement of previous work carried out on the Redcastle project is located in the references section (Section 7) of this report. |
| Geology | (a) Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
(a) Details of the geology are reported -in the Independent Geologicts Report in this report. |
| Drill hole Information |
(a) A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: oeasting and northing of the drill hole collar oelevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres)of the drill hole collar |
(a) Details and a full summary of the drill hole details, etc are given in the Independent Geologists Report section of this report including relevant diagrams and cross sections. (b) No material information, results or data have been excluded. |
36
odip and azimuth of the hole odown hole length and interception depth ohole length. (b) If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case. |
||
|---|---|---|
| Data aggregation methods |
(a) In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. (b) Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. (c) The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearlystated. |
(a) Weighted averages were calculated by a simple weighting of from and to downhole interval lengths. All samples are multiples of one metre samples (being composite metres or individual meters). No top cuts were applied. A lower cut-off of 1 g/t Au is used in the tables of significant results (Table 3, 4 & 5) above. (b) Aggregations of higher-grade mineralisation were averaged with a minimum down hole width of one metre. A maximum width of two metres of internal waste (less than 1g/t Au) was included in any of the reported intersections in the table of Significant Intercepts elsewhere in this report. (c) No metal equivalent assumptions or values are used |
| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths |
(a) These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. (b) If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. (c) If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (eg ‘down hole length,true width not known’). |
(a) Details of geology, and selected cross sections are presented in the Independent geologists section of this report. (b) The significant intersection tables presented in this document show down hole drill widths only (Tables 3, 4 & 5). These intersections do not reflect true widths. True width is not knownat this stage of exploration. |
| Diagrams | (a) Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views. |
(a) Details of geology, maps and selected cross sections are shown elsewhere in this report (see Sections 4 & 5 and Figures 2 to 8 of the Independent Geologists Report). |
| Balanced reporting |
(a) Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleadingreportingof Exploration Results. |
Details of the significant assay results, drilling, etc are shown in Tables 3, 4 & 5 and drill hole collar details are showen in Table 7 of the Independent Geologists Report . Reporting of exploration results by previous explorers is considered balanced. |
37
A lower grade cut-off (1.0g/t Au) has been used in the tables of significant results. Only gold results regarded as significant (>1.0g/t Au) or anomalous (1.0g/t to ≥0.5g/t Au) are discussed however only significant intersections are reported, Samples assaying (>0.5 g/t to <1.0g/t Au) which represents a low order mineable grade are not referred to in the table of significant intersections. The lower average anomalous grades when enclosing a significant result are isolated and spatially distant or returned from narrow down hole widths. These results require a wider width of mineralisation and a higher grade to substantiate economic parameters ie 20 m @ 0.5 g/t Au and 2 m @ 5 g/t Au have exactly the same gold content in gram metres but widths and tonnage differ by a scale of magnitude which dramatically affects the potential economic tonnage of any deposit. Intersections >1.0g/t Au represent a reasonable gold content and a reasonable mineable cut-off grade and as such are regarded as significant intersections by the Competent Person. Results are reported in Tables 3, 4 & 5 of the Indepecdant Geologists Report.
The available historic database includes an inherited data set compiled by previous project owners combined with data sourced by the Competent Person. There are limitations in the amount of information provided in the data set. It has not been possible to fully verify the reliability and accuracy of portions of the database however it appears that no serious problems have occurred and validation check results are within acceptable limits. Generally, the recent data is more reliable than the historic data. At the time (pre-2008) on site data was collected using standard practice and the methodologies of the day are within the calibre of that time, no modern QAQC procedures were adopted and therefore sample data, apart from laboratory standards when used, have not been validated against any modern Certified Reference Material (CRM).

Dear Sirs
SOLICITOR’S REPORT ON TENEMENTS
This Report is prepared for inclusion in a prospectus for the public offer of 225,000,000 shares in the capital of Transcendence Technologies Limited (to be renamed ‘Redcastle Resources Limited’) (ACN 096 781 716) ( Company ) at an issue price of $0.02 per share to raise $4,500,000 ( Prospectus ).
1. SCOPE
We have been requested to report on certain mining tenements and a tenement application in which the Company has an interest (the Tenements ).
The Tenements are located in Western Australia. Details of the Tenements are set out in Part I of this Report.
This Report is limited to the Searches (as defined below) set out in Section 2 of this Report.
2. SEARCHES
For the purposes of this Report, we have conducted searches and made enquiries in respect of all of the Tenements as follows ( Searches ):
Transcendence Technologies Limited (to be renamed “Redcastle Resources Limited”) 20 September 2021
Page 2
-
(a) we have obtained:
-
(i) mining tenement register searches of the Tenements from the registers maintained by the Western Australian Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety ( DMIRS ) ( Tenement Searches ). These searches were conducted on 20 September 2021. Key details on the status of the Tenements are set out in Part I of this Report;
-
(ii) quick appraisal user searches of Tengraph which is maintained by the DMIRS to obtain details of features or interests affecting the Tenements ( Tengraph Searches ). These searches were conducted on 20 September 2021. Details of any material issues identified from the Tengraph Searches are set out in the notes to Part I of this Report;
-
(b) we have obtained results of searches of the schedule of native title applications, register of native title claims, national native title register, register of indigenous land use agreements and national land use agreements as maintained by the National Native Title Tribunal ( NNTT ) for any native title claims (registered or unregistered), native title determinations and indigenous land use agreements ( ILUAs ) that overlap or apply to the Tenements. This material was obtained on 8 September 2021. Details of any native title claims (registered or unregistered), native title determinations and ILUAs are set out in Section 7 of this Report and Part II of this Report;
-
(c) we have obtained searches from the online Aboriginal Heritage Inquiry System maintained by the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage ( DPLH ) for any Aboriginal sites and heritage places registered on the Western Australian Register of Aboriginal sites over the Tenements ( Heritage Searches ). These searches were conducted on 20 September 2021; and
-
(d) we have reviewed all material agreements relating to the Tenements provided to us or registered as dealings against the Tenements as at the date of the Tenement Searches and have summarised the material terms (details of which are set out in Part III of this Report).
3. OPINION
As a result of our Searches, but subject to the assumptions and qualifications set out in this Report, we are of the view that, as at the date of the relevant Searches this Report provides an accurate statement as to:
-
(a) the Company’s interest in the Tenements;
-
(b) the validity and good standing of the Tenements; and
-
(c) third party interests, including encumbrances, in relation to the Tenements.
4. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Subject to the qualifications and assumptions in this Report, we consider the following to be material issues in relation to the Tenements:
(a) Company’s interest
The Company does not have a registered interest in the Tenements. It only currently has an equitable interest pursuant to the agreement dated 28 July
Transcendence Technologies Limited (to be renamed “Redcastle Resources Limited”) 20 September 2021
Page 3
2021 between the Company (through its wholly owned subsidiary E-Collate Pty Ltd (ACN 608 766 123) ( E-Collate )) and the vendors listed in Part I of this Report ( Vendors ) for the acquisition of 100% of the right, title and interest in the Tenements held by the Vendors ( Agreement ).
The Agreement contains conditions precedent, which must be satisfied prior to their completion. The Company’s acquisition of the relevant interest in the Tenements is therefore not guaranteed as it is conditional on these conditions precedent being satisfied. In addition, completion of the Company’s public offer is conditional on completion of the acquisition of the Tenements.
Please refer to Part III of this Report for a summary of the Agreement.
(b) Applications for Tenements not yet granted
One of the Tenements (M39/1140) is currently at the application stage and has not yet been granted. The application is an application to convert one of the other Tenements (a granted prospecting licence, P39/5184) into a mining lease. The term of P39/5184 will be extended until the application for M39/1140 has been determined. This means that, following completion of the acquisition of the Tenements, the Company will be able to carry out exploration activities on the ground the subject of the application pursuant to the rights under the existing prospecting licence.
The grant of M 39/1140 is not guaranteed and the application for M 39/1140 will need to satisfy the Future Act Provisions to be valid under the NTA.
The Tenement Schedule in Part I of this Report provides a list of the Tenements.
(c) Third party interests
As detailed at Part III and IV of this Report the Company has granted (subject to completion of the acquisition of the Tenements) the Vendors a 2% gross revenue royalty over the Tenements. The material terms of the royalty are provided in Part III of this Report.
In addition, as detailed at Part III of this Report, the Company has granted (subject to completion of the acquisition of the Tenements) the Vendors the right to explore and exploit all alluvial gold contained from the surface to 5 metres below the natural surface of the ground on the Tenements.
(d) Crown land
Land the subject of some of the Tenements overlaps Crown land (specifically, the Road Reserves noted at Part I of this Report). The Mining Act imposes prohibitions on prospecting, exploration and mining activities and restrictions on access to certain parts of mining tenements that overlap Crown land. As detailed in Part I of this Report, mining on any road, road verge or road reserve is confined to below a depth of 15 metres from the natural surface.
(e) Aboriginal heritage places
Aboriginal heritage places have been identified on M 39/318 and P 39/5568. Further details of the heritage places are detailed in Section 6 and Part II of this Report.
Transcendence Technologies Limited (to be renamed “Redcastle Resources Limited”) 20 September 2021
Page 4
(f) Water Reserves
In respect to of those Tenements which overlap waterways, noted at Part I, the Company may be required to seek advice from the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation if proposing any prospecting within a defined waterway and within a lateral distance of:
-
(i) 50 metres from the outer-most water dependent vegetation of any perennial waterway; and
-
(ii) 30 metres from the outer-most water dependent vegetation of any seasonal waterway.
With regards to those Tenements which overlap proclaimed ground water areas, detailed in Part I of this Report:
-
(i) the abstraction of groundwater is prohibited unless a current licence to construct/alter a well and a licence to take groundwater has been issued by the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation; and
-
(ii) the taking of groundwater and the construction or altering of any well is prohibited without current licences for these activities issued by the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation, unless an exemption otherwise applies.
In addition, mining on M39/318 where it overlaps with ‘Water Reserve 10623’ (being an overlap of 0.38%) is prohibited without the prior consent of the Minister for Mines.
5. DESCRIPTION OF THE TENEMENTS
The Tenements comprise one granted mining lease, one pending mining lease application and nine prospecting licenses granted under the Mining Act. The tenement Schedule in Part I of this Report provides a list of the Tenements. Sections 5.1 and 5.2 respectively provide a description of the nature and key terms of these types of mining tenements as set out in the Mining Act and potential successor tenements.
5.1
Prospecting licence
- (a) Application
A person may lodge an application for a prospecting licence in accordance with the Mining Act. The mining registrar or warden decides whether to grant an application for a prospecting licence. An application for a prospecting licence (unless a reversion application) cannot be legally transferred and continues in the name of the applicant.
(b) Rights
The holder of a prospecting licence is entitled to enter upon land for the purposes of prospecting for minerals with employees and contractors, and such vehicles, machinery and equipment as may be necessary or expedient.
Transcendence Technologies Limited (to be renamed “Redcastle Resources Limited”) 20 September 2021
Page 5
(c) Term
A prospecting licence has a term of 4 years. Where the prospecting licence was applied for and granted after 10 February 2006, the Minister may extend the term by 4 years and if retention status is granted (as discussed below), by a further term or terms of 4 years. Where a prospecting licence is transferred before a renewal application has been determined, the transferee is deemed to be the applicant.
(d) Retention status
The holder of a prospecting licence applied for and granted after 10 February 2006 may apply for approval of retention status for the prospecting licence. The Minister may approve the application where there is an identified mineral resource in or under the land the subject of the prospecting licence, but it is impractical to mine the resource for prescribed reasons. Where retention status is granted, the minimum expenditure requirements are reduced in the year of grant and cease in future years. However, the Minister has the right to impose a program of works or require the holder to apply for a mining lease. The holder of a prospecting licence applied for or granted before 10 February 2006 can apply for a retention licence (see below), rather than retention status.
(e) Conditions
Prospecting licences are granted subject to various standard conditions including conditions relating to minimum expenditure, the payment of rent and observance of environmental protection and reporting requirements. These standard conditions are not detailed in Part I of this Report. A failure to comply with these conditions or obtain an exemption from compliance may lead to forfeiture of the prospecting licence.
(f) Relinquishment
There is no requirement to relinquish any portion of the prospecting licence.
(g) Priority to apply for a mining lease
The holder of a prospecting licence has priority to apply for a mining lease over any of the land subject to the prospecting licence. An application for a mining lease must be made prior to the expiry of the prospecting licence. The prospecting licence remains in force until the application for the mining lease is determined.
(h) Transfer
There is no restriction on transfer or other dealing in a prospecting licence.
5.2 Mining lease
(a) Application
Any person may lodge an application for a mining lease, although a holder of a prospecting licence, exploration licence or retention licence over the relevant area has priority. The Minister decides whether to grant an application for a mining lease.
Transcendence Technologies Limited (to be renamed “Redcastle Resources Limited”) 20 September 2021
Page 6
The application, where made after 10 February 2006, must be accompanied by either a mining proposal or a statement outlining mining intentions and a “mineralisation report” indicating there is significant mineralisation in the area over which a mining lease is sought. A mining lease accompanied by a “mineralisation report” will only be approved where the Director, Geological Survey considers that there is a reasonable prospect that the mineralisation identified will result in a mining operation.
(b) Rights
The holder of a mining lease is entitled to mine for and dispose of any minerals on the land in respect of which the lease was granted. A mining lease entitles the holder to do all acts and things necessary to effectively carry out mining operations.
(c) Term
A mining lease has a term of 21 years and may be renewed for successive periods of 21 years. Where a mining lease is transferred before a renewal application has been determined, the transferee is deemed to be the applicant.
(d) Conditions
Mining leases are granted subject to various standard conditions, including conditions relating to expenditure, the payment of prescribed rent and royalties and observance of environmental protection and reporting requirements. An unconditional performance bond may be required to secure performance of these obligations. A failure to comply with these conditions may lead to forfeiture of the mining lease. These standard conditions are not detailed in Part I of this Report.
(e) Transfer
The consent of the Minister is required to transfer a mining lease.
6. ABORIGINAL HERITAGE
There may be areas or objects of Aboriginal heritage located on the Tenements
No Aboriginal sites were identified from the Heritage Searches. However, there is no obligation under the relevant legislation to register sites or objects and the exact location of Aboriginal sites within the area of a known site cannot be ascertained from these searches.
The Heritage Searches have identified Aboriginal heritage places on M 39/318 and P 39/5568. Heritage places are locations which are reported to the Registrar of Aboriginal Sites as possible “Aboriginal sites” within the meaning of the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 (WA). The Company notes that it intends to carry out heritage clearance surveys before implementing its proposed exploration program. Further work will be required to determine whether these ‘places’ meet the criteria to be registered as an Aboriginal site or heritage place.
Transcendence Technologies Limited (to be renamed “Redcastle Resources Limited”) 20 September 2021
Page 7
The Company has confirmed that its current proposed exploration program is not impacted by the known sites of registered aboriginal heritage significance. Further details of the heritage sites are detailed in Part II of this Report.
It is important to note that an Aboriginal site may:
-
(a) exist in any area of Western Australia;
-
(b) not have been recorded in the Register of Aboriginal Sites or elsewhere; and
-
(c) not have been identified in previous heritage surveys or reports on that area,
but remains fully protected under the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 (WA). Therefore, the absence of any reference to an Aboriginal site of interest from the Aboriginal Heritage Inquiry System is not conclusive.
We have not obtained information from the Commonwealth in connection with any places, areas and objects, which are registered or recognised in the National Heritage List, the Commonwealth Heritage List or other heritage lists or registers maintained by the Commonwealth.
The Company must ensure that it does not breach the Commonwealth and applicable State legislation relating to Aboriginal heritage as set out below. To ensure that it does not contravene such legislation, it would be prudent for the Company (and it would accord with industry practice and Aboriginal expectations) to conduct heritage surveys to determine if any Aboriginal sites or objects exist within the area of the Tenements. Any interference with these sites or objects must be in strict conformity with the provisions of the relevant legislation. It may also be necessary for the Company to enter into separate arrangements with the traditional owners of the sites.
6.2 Commonwealth legislation
The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Heritage Protection Act 1984 (Cth) ( Commonwealth Heritage Act ) is aimed at the preservation and protection of any Aboriginal areas and objects that may be located on the Tenements.
Under the Commonwealth Heritage Act, the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs may make interim or permanent declarations of preservation in relation to significant Aboriginal areas or objects, which have the potential to halt exploration activities. Compensation is payable by the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs to a person who is, or is likely to be, affected by a permanent declaration of preservation.
It is an offence to contravene a declaration made under the Commonwealth Heritage Act.
6.3 Western Australian legislation
Tenements are granted subject to a condition requiring observance of the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 (WA) ( WA Heritage Act ).
The WA Heritage Act makes it an offence to alter or damage sacred ritual or ceremonial Aboriginal sites and areas of significance to Aboriginal persons (whether or not they are recorded on the register or otherwise known to the Register of Aboriginal Sites, DPLH or the Aboriginal Cultural Material Committee).
Transcendence Technologies Limited (to be renamed “Redcastle Resources Limited”) 20 September 2021
Page 8
The Minister’s consent is required where any use of land is likely to result in the excavation, alteration or damage to an Aboriginal site or any objects on or under that site.
Aboriginal sites may be registered under the WA Heritage Act. However, there is no requirement for a site to be registered. The WA Heritage Act protects all registered and unregistered sites.
7. NATIVE TITLE
7.1 General
The law of Australia recognises the existence of native title rights held by indigenous Australians over their traditional lands[1] . Native title exists where an indigenous group has maintained a continuous traditional connection with the land, and those rights have not been extinguished.
Native title may be extinguished:
-
(a) in whole by the grant of an interest in land conferring “exclusive possession” such as a freehold interest in the land; or
-
(b) in part by the grant of an interest conferring “non-exclusive possession” including the grant of pastoral leases and mining leases, or the creation of certain reserves. In this case, the native title will co-exist with the other rights to the land.
The Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) ( NTA ):
-
(a) provides a process for indigenous people to claim native title rights[2] and compensation[3] ;
-
(b) confirms the validity of past actions (including grants of land tenure) by the Commonwealth and State governments[4] ; and
-
(c) specifies the procedures which must be complied with to ensure that acts that may affect native title rights (such as the grant or renewal of a mining tenement) are valid.
The NTA has been adopted in Western Australia by the enactment of the Titles (Validation) and Native Title (Effect of Past Acts) Act 1995.
7.2 Native title claim process
Persons claiming to hold native title may lodge an application for determination of native title with the Federal Court. The application is then referred to the NNTT to assess whether the claim meets the registration requirements in the NTA, and if so, the native title claim will be entered on the register of native title claims ( RNTC ) maintained by the NNTT.
Native title claimants have certain procedural rights, including the rights to negotiation and compensation, in relation to the grant of mining tenements if their native title claim
1 Mabo v Queensland (No 2) (1992) 175 CLR 1 2 Parts 3 and 4 of the NTA
3 Part 3, Division 5 of the NTA
4 Part 2, Division 2 of the NTA
Transcendence Technologies Limited (to be renamed “Redcastle Resources Limited”) 20 September 2021
Page 9
is registered at the time the State issues a notice of the proposed grant of the mining tenement ( Section 29 Notice ), or if their claim becomes registered within four months after the Section 29 Notice.
Once a claim is registered, a claimant must prove its claim in the Federal Court in order to have native title determined and the claim entered on the National Native Title Register ( NNTR ).
7.3 Grant of tenements and compliance with the NTA
The grant of any mining tenement after 23 December 1996 must comply with the applicable NTA procedures in order to be valid. The exception to this is where native title has never existed over the land covered by the tenement, or has been extinguished prior to the grant of the tenement.
The absence of a claim does not necessarily indicate that there is no native title over an area, as native title claims could be made in the future.
Unless it is clear that native title does not exist (such as where the land the subject of a tenement application is freehold land), the usual practice of the State is to comply with the NTA when granting a tenement. This ensures the grant will be valid if a court subsequently determines that native title rights exist over the land subject to the tenement.
The procedural requirements in the NTA relating to the grant of a mining tenement (referred to as the “ Future Act ” procedures) include four alternatives:
-
(a) the right to negotiate, which is the primary Future Act procedure prescribed by the NTA;
-
(b) the expedited procedure, which may be used in relation to the grant of exploration and prospecting licences;
-
(c) an indigenous land use agreement; and
-
(d) the infrastructure process.
Future Act procedures are provided below.
Our Searches indicate that M 39/318 was granted on 16 September 1994 and as such has been retrospectively validated under the NTA.
The remaining Tenements were granted after 23 December 1996.
7.4 Right to negotiate
The primary Future Act procedure prescribed by the NTA is the “right to negotiate”.
The right to negotiate involves a negotiation between the registered native title claimants, the tenement applicant and the State government, the aim of which is to agree the terms on which the tenement may be granted.
The applicant for the tenement is usually liable for any compensation that the parties agree to pay to the native title claimants. The parties may also agree on conditions that will apply to activities carried out on the tenement.
Transcendence Technologies Limited (to be renamed “Redcastle Resources Limited”) 20 September 2021
Page 10
The initial negotiation period is six months from the date on which the State issues a Section 29 Notice.
If the parties cannot reach an agreement within the initial six month period, any party may refer the matter to arbitration before the NNTT, which then has six (6) months to determine whether the tenement can be granted and if so, on what conditions.
7.5 Expedited procedure
Where the grant of a tenement is unlikely to directly interfere with community or social activities or areas or sites of particular significance, or involve major disturbance to land or waters, the NTA permits the State to follow an expedited procedure for the grant of a tenement.
The State applies the expedited procedure to the grant of exploration and prospecting tenements.
Registered native title parties can lodge an objection to the use of the expedited procedure within the period of four months following the issue of the Section 29 Notice by the State ( Objection Period ).
If no objections are lodged or if the objections are withdrawn, the State may grant the tenement at the expiry of the Objection Period without undertaking a negotiation process.
If an objection is lodged, the NNTT must determine whether the grant of the tenement is an act attracting the Expedited Procedure. If the NNTT determines the expedited procedure does not apply, the parties must follow the right to negotiate procedure or enter into an indigenous land use agreement.
The DMIRS currently has a policy of requiring applicants for prospecting licences and exploration licences to sign and send a Regional Standard Heritage Agreement ( RSHA ) to the registered native title claimant, or prove they have an existing RHSA or Alternative Heritage Agreement in place.
The RSHA provides a framework for the conduct of Aboriginal heritage surveys over the land the subject of a tenement prior to the conducting of ground-disturbing work and conditions that apply to activities carried out within the tenement.
If the registered native title claimant does not execute the RSHA within the Objection Period (and no objections are otherwise lodged), the tenement may still be granted at the expiry of the Objection Period. If the tenement applicant refuses or fails to execute or send the RSHA to the registered native title holder, the DMIRS will process the application under the right to negotiate procedure.
7.6 Indigenous land use agreement
The right to negotiate and expedited procedures do not have to be followed if an indigenous land use agreement ( ILUA ) has been registered with the NNTT.
An ILUA is a voluntary contractual arrangement negotiated with all registered native title claimants for a relevant area. The State and the applicant for the tenement are usually the other parties to the ILUA.
An ILUA must set out the terms on which the relevant mining tenement may be granted. An ILUA will also specify conditions on which activities may be carried out within the
Transcendence Technologies Limited (to be renamed “Redcastle Resources Limited”) 20 September 2021
Page 11
tenement. The applicant for a tenement is usually liable for any compensation that the parties agree to pay to the registered native title claimants in return for the grant of the tenement being approved. These obligations pass to a transferee of the tenement.
Once an ILUA is agreed and registered, it binds the whole native title claimant group and all holders of native title in the area (including future claimants), even though they may not be parties to it.
7.7
Infrastructure process
The right to negotiate and expedited procedures also do not apply for grants of tenements for the sole purpose of the construction of an infrastructure facility.
In Western Australia, the DMIRS applies the infrastructure process to most miscellaneous licences and general purpose leases, depending on their purpose. For these types of tenements, an alternative consultation process applies, and in the absence of an agreement between the native title claimants and the applicant, the matter can be referred to an independent person for determination.
7.8 Renewals
Renewals of mining tenements made after 23 December 1996 must comply with the Future Act provisions in order to be valid under the NTA, except where:
-
(a) the area to which the mining tenement applies is not extended;
-
(b) the term of the renewed mining tenement is not longer than the term of the earlier mining tenement; and
-
(c) the rights to be created are not greater than the rights conferred by the earlier mining tenement.
7.9 Native title claims affecting the Tenements
Our searches indicate that all of the Tenements are within the external boundaries of the Nyalpa Pimiku Native Title Claim. It is noted that:
-
(a) The Nyalpa Pimiku Native Title Claim was registered by the NNTT on 15 May 2019 but has not yet been determined by the Federal Court.
-
(b) We have not identified anything in our enquiries to indicate that the granted Tenements which are subject to the Nyalpa Pimiku Native Title Claim were not validly granted in accordance with the NTA.
-
(c) In relation to the Tenement application which is subject to the Nyalpa Pimiku Native Title Claim to be validly granted, the applicant will need to comply with the Future Act procedures of the NTA as described above.
The Company is not required to enter into land access agreements with Nyalpa Pimiku claim group in order to undertake its proposed exploration program on the granted Tenements. However, the Company notes that it intends to carry out heritage clearance surveys before implementing its proposed exploration program. The Company’s current proposed exploration program is not impacted by the known sites of registered aboriginal heritage significance.
Transcendence Technologies Limited (to be renamed “Redcastle Resources Limited”) 20 September 2021
Page 12
In relation to Tenements which the Company has an interest in or will in the future acquire such an interest, there may be areas over which legitimate common law native title rights exist. The Redcastle Project (including the pending Tenement application) currently overlaps the Nyalpa Pimiku (WC2019/002) native title claim and a number of sites of registered Aboriginal heritage significance.
7.10 Indigenous land use agreements affecting the Tenements
As at the date of this Report, there are no registered ILUA’s in respect of the Tenements.
8. CROWN LAND
As set out in Part I of this Report, land the subject of the following Tenements overlaps Crown land as set out in the table below.
| Tenement | Crown land | % overlap |
|---|---|---|
| M 39/318 | Road Reserve No. 2135 | No percentage noted |
| P 39/5337 | No percentage noted |
|
| P 39/5568 | No percentage noted |
|
| P 39/5184 | Road Reserves | No percentage noted |
The Mining Act:
-
(a) prohibits the carrying out of prospecting, exploration or mining activities on Crown land that is less than 30 metres below the lowest part of the natural surface of the land and:
-
(i) for the time being under crop (or within 100 metres of that crop);
-
(ii) used as or situated within 100 metres of a yard, stockyard, garden, cultivated field, orchard vineyard, plantation, airstrip or airfield;
-
(iii) situated within 100 metres of any land that is an actual occupation and on which a house or other substantial building is erected;
-
(iv) the site of or situated within 100 metres of any cemetery or burial ground; or
-
(v) if the Crown land is a pastoral lease, the site of or situated within 400 metres of any water works, race, dam, well or bore not being an excavation previously made and used for purposes by a person other than the pastoral lessee,
without the written consent of the occupier, unless the warden by order otherwise directs.
- (b) imposes restrictions on a tenement holder passing over Crown land referred to in section 8(a), including:
Transcendence Technologies Limited (to be renamed “Redcastle Resources Limited”) 20 September 2021
Page 13
-
(i) taking all necessary steps to notify the occupier of any intention to pass over the Crown land;
-
(ii) the sole purpose for passing over the Crown land must be to gain access to other land not covered by section 8(a) to carry out prospecting, exploration or mining activities;
-
(iii) taking all necessary steps to prevent fire, damage to trees, damage to property or damage to livestock by the presence of dogs, the discharge of firearms, the use of vehicles or otherwise; and
-
(iv) causing as little inconvenience as possible to the occupier by keeping the number of occasions of passing over the Crown land to a minimum and complying with any reasonable request by the occupier as to the manner of passage.
-
(c) requires a tenement holder to compensate the occupier of Crown land:
-
(i) by making good any damage to any improvements or livestock caused by passing over Crown land referred to in section 8(a) or otherwise compensate the occupier for any such damage not made good; and
-
(ii) in respect of land under cultivation, for any substantial loss of earnings suffered by the occupier caused by passing over Crown land referred to in section 8(a).
The warden may not give the order referred to in section 8(a) that dispenses with the occupier’s consent in respect of Crown land covered by section 8(a)(iii). In respect of other areas of Crown land covered by the prohibition in section 8(a), the warden may not make such an order unless he is satisfied that the land is genuinely required for mining purposes and that compensation in accordance with the Mining Act for all loss or damage suffered or likely to be suffered by the occupier has been agreed between the occupier and the tenement holder or assessed by the warden under the Mining Act.
Although the Company will be able to undertake its proposed activities on those parts of the Tenements not covered by the prohibitions and pass over those parts of the Tenements to which the restrictions do not apply immediately upon listing on ASX, the Company should consider entering into access and compensation agreements with the occupiers of the Crown land upon commencement of those activities in the event further activities are required on other areas of the Tenements which are subject to prohibitions or restrictions.
9.
PASTORAL LEASES
As set out in Part I of the Schedule to this Report, all of the Tenements overlap with Pastoral Lease (C) Glenorn (Aboriginal Corporation) as set out in Schedule 1 of this Report.
The Mining Act:
- (a) prohibits the carrying out of mining activities on or near certain improvements and other features (such as livestock and crops) on Crown land (which includes a pastoral lease) without the consent of the lessee;
Transcendence Technologies Limited (to be renamed “Redcastle Resources Limited”) 20 September 2021
Page 14
-
(b) imposes certain restrictions on a mining tenement holder passing through Crown land, including requiring that all necessary steps are taken to notify the occupier of any intention to pass over the Crown land and that all necessary steps are taken to prevent damage to improvements and livestock; and
-
(c) provides that the holder of a mining tenement must pay compensation to an occupier of Crown land (ie the pastoral lessee) in certain circumstances, in particular to make good any damage to improvements, and for any loss suffered by the occupier from that damage or for any substantial loss of earnings suffered by the occupier as a result of, or arising from, any exploration or mining activities, including the passing and re-passing over any land.
Mr Trevor Dixon, who is a proposed Director of the Company and one of the Vendors, has confirmed that the Vendors are not aware of any improvements or other features on the land the subject of the pastoral leases which overlaps the Tenements which would require the Company to obtain the consent of the occupier or lease holder or prevent the Company from undertaking its proposed mining activities on the Tenements.
Upon commencing mining operations on any of the Tenements, the Company should consider entering into a compensation and access agreement with the pastoral lease holders to ensure the requirements of the Mining Act are satisfied and to avoid any disputes arising. In the absence of agreement, the Warden’s Court determines compensation payable.
The DMIRS imposes standard conditions on mining tenements that overlay pastoral leases. It appears the Tenements incorporate the standard conditions.
10. ENCROACHMENTS
Where an application is encroached upon by a live tenement, the application as granted will be for a tenement reduced by that amount of land which falls under the live tenement licence.
Certain Tenements are being encroached by other tenements as follows:
| Tenement | Encroaching Tenement | Encroachment Percentage |
|---|---|---|
| P 39/5307 | P 39/62122 | 2.11% |
| P 39/5815 | P 39/62122 | 0.46% |
Notes:
- P 39/6212 is not being acquired by the Company as part of the Acquisition. The Company confirms that MCA Nominees Pty Ltd, the registered holder of P 39/6212, is not related to the Vendors.
11. QUALIFICATIONS AND ASSUMPTIONS
This Report is subject to the following qualifications and assumptions:
- (a) we have assumed the accuracy and completeness of all Searches, register extracts and other information or responses which were obtained from the relevant department or authority including the NNTT;

-
(f) we have assumed the accuracy and completeness of any instructions or information which we have received from the Company or any of its officers, agents and representatives;
-
(g) unless apparent from our Searches or the information provided to us, we have assumed compliance with the requirements necessary to maintain a Tenement in good standing;
-
(h) with respect to the application for the grant of a Tenement, we express no opinion as to whether such application will ultimately be granted and that reasonable conditions will be imposed upon grant, although we have no reason to believe that any application will be refused or that unreasonable conditions will be imposed;
-
(i) references in Parts I and II of this Report to any area of land are taken from details shown on searches obtained from the relevant department. It is not possible to verify the accuracy of those areas without conducting a survey;
-
(j) the information in Parts I and II of this Report is accurate as at the date the relevant Searches were obtained. We cannot comment on whether any changes have occurred in respect of the Tenements between the date of the Searches and the date of this Report;

| Pastoral Lease | A pastoral lease is a lease of Crown land that has been granted under Section 114 of the Land Act 1933 (WA), which provides that any Crown land within the State which is not withdrawn from the selection for pastoral purposes, and which is not required to be reserved, may be leased for pastoral purposes. All Tenements overlap with Pastoral Lease (C) Glenorn (Aboriginal Corporation) as follows: • M 39/318 – 95.38% encroachment; • M 39/1140 – 100% encroachment; • P 39/5184 – 100% encroachment; • P 39/5307 – 100% encroachment; • P 39/5337 – 99.64% encroachment; • P 39/5568 – 98.71% encroachment; • P 39/5573 – 100% encroachment; • P 39/5814 – 97.85% encroachment; • P 39/5815 – 100% encroachment; • P 39/5858 – 100% encroachment; and • P 39/6185 – 100% encroachment. |

| Aboriginal Heritage Survey |
Aboriginal Heritage Survey Areas are areas in which an Aboriginal Heritage Survey has been undertaken and results are described in a Heritage Survey Report. The Department of Indigenous Affairs holds copies of these reports. A heritage survey conducted in a particular area does not necessarily mean that another heritage survey does not need to be undertaken. This will depend on the type of survey undertaken and also when the original survey was undertaken. Not all Aboriginal sites within a survey area are necessarily recorded in the survey. The type of survey undertaken, such as site identification or Site Avoidance, is decided by the professional heritage consultant engaged by the proponent and depends upon the scope and nature of the project. What is appropriate for one project may not be for a different project. P 39/5568 and P 39/5573 overlap with the following Aboriginal Heritage Survey Area: • 106339 1 – <0.01% encroachment for both Tenements. The remaining Tenements do not overlap with any Aboriginal Heritage Survey Areas. |
|
| Ground Water Area | Groundwater is a reserve of water beneath the earth's surface in pores and crevices of rocks and soil. Recharge of groundwater aquifers is slow and can take many years. Groundwater often supports wetland and stream ecosystems. Groundwater areas are proclaimed under the Rights in Water and Irrigation Act, 1914. |

The Directors Transcendence Technologies Ltd (to be renamed Redcastle Resources Ltd) Suite 2, Level 1 1 Altona Street West Perth WA 6005
Dear Directors
INDEPENDENT LIMITED ASSURANCE REPORT
1. Introduction
BDO Corporate Finance (WA) Pty Ltd ( ‘BDO’ ) has been engaged by Transcendence Technologies Limited (to be renamed Redcastle Resources Limited) ( ‘TTL’ or ‘the Company’ ) to prepare this Independent Limited Assurance Report ( ‘Report’ ) in relation to certain financial information of TTL, for inclusion in a Prospectus. Broadly, the Prospectus will offer 225,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.02 each to raise $4,500,000 before costs (‘ the Offer ’).
The Offer is subject to a minimum subscription level of 225,000,000 Shares to raise $4,500,000.
As announced on 29 July 2021, the Company will also acquire 100% of the right, title and interest in certain tenements located in the Mt Morgans District in Western Australia, collectively known as the Redcastle Gold Project (‘ Redcastle ’) (‘ the Acquisition ’), pursuant to the terms and conditions of the purchase agreement between the vendors of Redcastle (‘ the Vendors ’) and TTL.

The tenements forming Redcastle are outlined in Section 5.5 of the Prospectus. Further details of the Acquisition are detailed in Section 8.2 of the Prospectus. Prior to the Acquisition, TTL will undergo a 1-for-2.858 share capital consolidation (‘ Consolidation ’).
Under the terms of the Acquisition, consideration for Redcastle will be in the form of 42,500,000 fully paid ordinary shares in TTL on a post-Consolidation basis (‘ Consideration Shares ’). Subject to shareholder approval, the Company also intends to appoint Mr Trevor Dixon (who is one of the Vendors) as a Technical Director of the Company.

Expressions defined in the Prospectus have the same meaning in this Report. BDO holds an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFS Licence Number 316158) and our Financial Services Guide (‘ FSG ’) has been included in this Report in the event you are a retail investor. Our FSG provides you with information on how to contact us, our services, remuneration, associations, and relationships.
This Report has been prepared for inclusion in the Prospectus. We disclaim any assumption of responsibility for any reliance on this Report or on the Financial Information to which it relates for any purpose other than that for which it was prepared.
2. Scope
You have requested BDO to perform a limited assurance engagement in relation to the historical and pro-forma historical financial information described below and disclosed in the Prospectus.
The historical and pro-forma historical financial information is presented in the Prospectus in an abbreviated form, insofar as it does not include all of the presentation and disclosures required by Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements applicable to general purpose financial reports prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001.
You have requested BDO to review the following historical financial information (together the ‘Historical Financial Information’ ) of TTL included in the Prospectus:
- TTL’s audited Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2021 and the audited Statements of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income and Statements of Cash Flows for the years ended 30 June 2021, 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2019.
The Historical Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the stated basis of preparation, being the recognition and measurement principles contained in Australian Accounting Standards and the Company’s adopted accounting policies.
The Historical Financial Information of TTL has been extracted from the financial reports of TTL for the years ended 30 June 2021, 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2019. The financial reports of TTL for the years ended 30 June 2021, 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2019 were audited by BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd (‘ BDO Audit ’) in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. BDO Audit issued an unmodified audit opinion on the financial reports, but included an emphasis of matter relating to the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt over the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the year ended 30 June 2021.
Pro-Forma Historical Financial Information
You have requested BDO to review the following pro-forma historical financial information (the ‘Pro-Forma Historical Financial Information’ ) included in the Prospectus:
- the pro-forma historical Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2021.
The Pro-Forma Historical Financial Information has been derived from the historical financial information of TTL, after adjusting for the effects of the subsequent events described in Section 6 of this Report and the pro-forma adjustments described in Section 7 of this Report. The stated basis of preparation is the recognition and measurement principles contained in Australian Accounting Standards applied to the historical financial information and the events or transactions to which the pro-forma adjustments relate, as described in Section 7 of this Report, as if those events or transactions had occurred as at 30 June 2021. Due to its nature, the Pro-
3
Forma Historical Financial Information does not represent the Company’s actual or prospective financial position or financial performance.
The Pro-Forma Historical Financial Information has been compiled by the Company to illustrate the impact of the events or transactions described in Section 6 and Section 7 of the Report on TTL’s financial position as at 30 June 2021. As part of this process, information about TTL’s financial position has been extracted by the Company from its financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2021.
3. Directors’ responsibility
The directors of TTL are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Historical Financial Information and Pro-Forma Historical Financial Information, including the selection and determination of pro-forma adjustments made to the Historical Financial Information and included in the Pro-Forma Historical Financial Information. This includes responsibility for such internal controls as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of Historical Financial Information and Pro-Forma Historical Financial Information are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
4. Our responsibility
Our responsibility is to express limited assurance conclusions on the Historical Financial Information and the Pro-Forma Historical Financial Information. We have conducted our engagement in accordance with the Standard on Assurance Engagement ASAE 3450 Assurance Engagements involving Corporate Fundraisings and/or Prospective Financial Information .
Our limited assurance procedures consisted of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A limited assurance engagement is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain reasonable assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in a reasonable assurance engagement. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Our engagement did not involve updating or re-issuing any previously issued audit or limited assurance reports on any financial information used as a source of the financial information.
5. Conclusion
Historical Financial Information
Based on our limited assurance engagement, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Historical Financial Information, as described in the Appendices to this Report, is not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with the stated basis of preparation, as described in Section 2 of this Report.
Pro-Forma Historical Financial information
Based on our limited assurance engagement, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Pro-Forma Historical Financial Information as described in the Appendices to this Report, is not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with the stated basis of preparation, as described in Section 2 of this Report.

6. Subsequent Events
Aside from the announcement of the Acquisition and the intention to raise funds under the Offer on 29 July 2021, there were no significant changes in state of affairs during and subsequent to 30 June 2021.
Apart from the matters dealt with in this Report, and having regard to the scope of this Report and the information provided by the Directors, to the best of our knowledge and belief no other material transaction or event outside of the ordinary business of TTL not described above, has come to our attention that would require comment on, or adjustment to, the information referred to in our Report or that would cause such information to be misleading or deceptive.
7. Assumptions Adopted in Compiling the Pro-forma Statement of Financial Position

APPENDIX 3
TRANSCENDENCE TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED
NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Reporting Entity
Transcendence Technologies Limited is a company domiciled in Australia. The address of the Company’s registered office and principal place of business is Suite 2, Level 1, 1 Altona Street, West Perth WA 6005. The Historical Financial Information is for the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the ‘ Group ’).
(b) Basis of Preparation
Statement of Compliance
The Historical Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘ AASB ’) and the Corporations Act 2001. The Historical Financial Information complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘ IFRS ’) adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (‘ IASB ’). Transcendence Technologies Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the Historical Financial Information.
Basis of measurement
The Historical Financial Information has been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with the historical cost convention, unless otherwise stated.
Going concern
For the year ended 30 June 2021, the Group incurred a net loss after tax of $333,124 (2020: loss of $412,615) and had net cash outflows used in operations of $254,477. The ability of the entity to continue as a going concern is dependent on the successful completion of the Redcastle Gold Project acquisition and capital raising as announced to the market on 29 July 2021.
These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast a significant doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Management believe there are sufficient funds to meet the entity’s working capital requirements as at the date of the most recent financial report.
The Historical Financial Information has been prepared on the basis that the entity is a going concern, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity, realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business for the following reasons:
- the Group’s cash flow forecast for the period to August 2022 indicates that the Group will have sufficient cash to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules, to fund future exploration activities and for working capital; and
10
- the Group plans to conduct a raising under a full form prospectus for the issue of 225,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares (on a post-consolidation basis) at an issue price of $0.02 per share to raise a minimum of $4,500,000.
Should the entity not be able to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in the Historical Financial Information. The Historical Financial Information does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern.
New, revised or amended standards and interpretations adopted by the Group
The Company has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are mandatory.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted. The Company’s assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the Company, are set out below.
Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Conceptual Framework)
The revised Conceptual Framework is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2021 and early adoption is permitted. The Conceptual Framework contains new definition and recognition criteria as well as new guidance on measurement that affects several Accounting Standards. Where the Company has relied on the existing framework in determining its accounting policies for transactions, events or conditions that are not otherwise dealt with under the Australian Accounting Standards, the Company may need to review such policies under the revised framework.
At this time, the application of the Conceptual Framework is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Historical Financial Information.
Significant Judgements and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the Historical Financial Information is disclosed in Note 1(e).
(c) Principles of Consolidation
The Historical Financial Information incorporate all of the assets, liabilities and results of the parent, Transcendence Technologies Limited and all of the subsidiaries (including any structured entities). Subsidiaries are entities the parent controls. The parent controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
The assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries are fully consolidated into the financial statements of the Group from the date on which control is obtained by the Group. The consolidation of a subsidiary is discontinued from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between group entities are fully eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed and adjustments made where necessary to ensure uniformity of the accounting policies adopted by the Group.
11
Equity interests in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Group are presented as “non-controlling interests”. The Group initially recognises non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests in subsidiaries and are entitled to a proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net assets on liquidation at either fair value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, noncontrolling interests are attributed their share of profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income. Non-controlling interests are shown separately within the equity section of the statement of financial position and statement of comprehensive income.
(d) Functional and Presentation Currency
The Historical Financial Information is presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.
(e) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
The preparation of the Historical Financial Information requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the Historical Financial Information. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses.
Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results.
Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (‘ COVID-19 ’) pandemic has had, or may have, on the Company based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the Company operates. Other than as
addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the Historical Financial Information or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the Company unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Share based payments
The Group measures the cost of equity settled transactions with Directors, employees and consultants, where applicable, by reference to the fair value of equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled shared-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.
Determination of fair values on exploration and evaluation assets acquired in business combinations
On initial recognition, the assets and liabilities of the acquired business are included in the statement of financial position at their fair values. In measuring fair value of exploration projects, management considers generally accepted technical valuation methodologies and comparable transactions in determining the fair value. Due to the subjective nature of valuation with respect
12
to exploration projects with limited exploration results, management have determined the price paid to be indicative of its fair value.
Recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure
The future recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent on a number of factors, including whether the Company decides to exploit the related lease itself, or, if not, whether it successfully recovers the related exploration and evaluation asset through sale.
Factors that could impact the future recoverability include the level of reserves and resources, future technological changes, costs of drilling and production, production rates, future legal changes (including changes to environmental restoration obligations) and changes to commodity prices.
(f) Comparatives
Where required by Accounting Standards comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with changes in presentation for the current year.
(g) Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision makers have been identified as the Board of Directors.
(h) Revenue
Revenue is recognised when or as the Group transfers control of goods or services to a customer at the amount to which the Group expects to be entitled. If the consideration promised includes a variable component, the Group estimates the expected consideration for the estimated impact of the variable component at the point of recognition and re-estimated at every reporting period.
Interest income is recognised when the Company gains controls of the right to receive the interest payment.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax.
(i) Taxes
The income tax expense (revenue) comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income).
Current Tax
Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at the end of the reporting period. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.
Deferred Tax
Deferred tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances as well as unused tax losses.
13
Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.
Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.
(j) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other shortterm high liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short term borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial position.
(k) Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables include amounts due from customers for goods sold and services performed in the ordinary course of business. Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are classified as current assets. All other receivables are classified as non-current assets.
Goods and Services Tax (‘ GST ’)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset of the assets or part of the expense.
14
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as a current asset or liability in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST on investing and financial activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
Other Receivables
Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any provision for expected credit loss. Other receivables do not contain impaired assets and are not past due. Based on the credit history, it is expected that these other balances will be received when due.
(l) Trade and other payables
Trade payables and other payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
(m) Issued capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options for the acquisition of a business are not included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.
If the entity reacquires its own equity instruments, for example, as a result of a share buy-back, those instruments are deducted from equity and the associated shares are cancelled. No gain or loss is recognised in the profit or loss and the consideration paid including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is recognised directly in equity.
(n) Share based payments
Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to key management personnel and employees.
Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares that are provided to employees in exchange for the rendering of services. Cash-settled transactions are awards of cash for the exchange of services, where the amount of cash is determined by reference to the share price.
The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using an appropriate valuation model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that do not determine whether the Group receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions.
15
The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods.
(o) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
Exploration and evaluation expenditure, including costs of acquiring the licences, are capitalised as exploration and evaluation assets on an area of interest basis. Costs incurred before the Company has obtained the legal rights to explore the area are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Exploration and evaluation assets are only recognised if the rights of the area of interest are current and either:
-
The expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation or from sale of the area of interest; or
-
Activities in the area of interest have not at the reporting date, reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the areas of interest are continuing.
Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if (i) sufficient date exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability, and (ii) facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. For the purpose of impairment testing, exploration and evaluation assets are allocated to cash-generating units to which the exploration activity relates. The cash generating unit shall not be larger than the area of interest.
Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified to mining property and development assets within property, plant and equipment.
When an area of interest is abandoned or the directors decide that it is not commercial, and accumulated costs in respect of that area are written off in the financial period the decision is made.
NOTE 2: RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES
Transactions with Related Parties and Directors Interests are disclosed in the Prospectus.
NOTE 3: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
At the date of the Report no material commitments or contingent liabilities exist that we are aware of, other than those disclosed in the Prospectus. Further, we note that on and from settlement of the Acquisition, the Company has agreed to grant the Vendors:
-
a 2% gross revenue royalty on all minerals, mineral products and concentrates, produced and sold from Redcastle; and
-
the right to explore and exploit all alluvial gold contained from the surface to 5 metres below the natural surface of the ground at Redcastle.
Further details on the above are disclosed in Sections 5.5.2 and 8.3 of the Prospectus.

NOTE 9: PROVISIONAL ACCOUNTING FOR THE ACQUISITION OF REDCASTLE
In consideration for the Acquisition of Redcastle, TTL will issue 42,500,000 ordinary shares in TTL at an issue price of $0.02 each.
The Company has considered whether the Acquisition falls within the scope of AASB 3 Business Combinations and therefore is required to be accounted for as a business combination. A business combination involves an acquirer obtaining control of one or more businesses by transferring cash, incurring liabilities or issuing shares. A business is an integrated set of activities and assets that is capable of being conducted and managed for the purpose of providing a return in the form of dividends, lower costs or other economic benefits directly to investors.
The Company does not consider that the Acquisition meets the definition of a business combination in accordance with AASB 3 Business Combinations as the acquired assets are not deemed to be a business for accounting purposes, therefore the Acquisition has been provisionally accounted for as an asset acquisition.

These details have been determined for the purposes of the proforma adjustments as at 30 June 2021, however will require re-determination as at the successful acquisition date which may result in changes to the values set out below.
