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 Company’s management.

The Company cannot and does not give any assurance that the results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forwardlooking statements contained in this Prospectus will actually occur and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forwardlooking statements.

The Company has no intention to update or revise forward-looking statements, or to publish prospective

2

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 7.

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 in the Investment Overview Section of the Prospectus, included at Section 3, the Company and Projects Overview, included at Section 5, and the Independent Technical Assessment Report, included at Annexure A of the Prospectus, which relate to exploration targets, exploration results and is based on information compiled by Mr Jason Froud BSc (Hons), Grad Dip (Fin Mkts), MAIG) and was reviewed by Christine Standing BSc (Hons), MSc, MAusIMM, MAIG , who are both fulltime employees of Optiro Pty Ltd.

Mr Froud and Ms Standing have 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 Froud, Ms Standing and Optiro Pty Ltd 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

Following admission of the Company to the Official List, the Company will be a “disclosing entity” (as defined in

section 111AC of the Corporations Act) and, as such, will be subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations. Specifically, like all listed companies, the Company will be 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 Shares.

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 Shares issued to them under this Prospectus. The notice will also advise holders of their Holder Identification Number or Security Holder Reference Number and explain, for future reference, the sale and purchase procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship.

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.

1. CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

Dear Investor

On behalf of the directors of Rincon Resources Limited ( Company ), it gives me great pleasure to invite you to become a shareholder of the Company.

Rincon Resources is an Australian unlisted public company, focused on gold and base metals projects in Western Australia. Rincon holds the rights to three projects, the South Telfer Project, the Laverton and Kiwirrkurra Projects all of which are prospective for gold and/or base metals.

The Company is seeking to raise the necessary funds, through the issue of this Prospectus, to further explore and develop these assets as well as seek out further complementary exploration, acquisition and development opportunities.

Rincon has been preparing for field activities at its South Telfer project by acquiring regional magnetics data previously undertaken by Newcrest Mining Ltd (ASX:NWC) in the late 1990's. Rincon is aiming to commence ultrafine soil sampling over selected targets and a detailed structural mapping program over the outcropping Hasties mineralisation. A drilling Program of Works has been approved and the final step required to allow drilling to commence is Heritage clearances over areas of proposed ground disturbing works.

Rincon has completed the acquisition, processing and interpretation of a highresolution magnetics dataset over the Laverton project area and has also recently completed a trial geochemical survey. Rincon is planning to undertake a broader geochemical program and define air core drill targets for a drill program.

Target generation is planned for the Kiwirrkurra project, commencing with an initial historical geophysical data review.

This Prospectus is seeking to raise a minimum of $5,000,000 and a maximum of $6,000,000 via the issue of Shares at an issue price of $0.20 per Share under the Offer. The purpose of the Offer is to provide funds to implement the Company’s business strategies (explained in Section 5).

The Board has significant expertise and experience in the mining industry and will aim to ensure that funds raised through the Offer will be utilised in a cost-effective manner to advance the Company’s business.

This Prospectus is issued for the purpose of supporting an application to list the Company on ASX. This Prospectus contains detailed information about the Company, its business and the Offer, as well as the risks of investing in the Company, and I encourage you to read it carefully. The Shares offered by this Prospectus should be considered highly speculative.

I look forward to you joining us as a Shareholder and sharing in what we believe are exciting and prospective times ahead for the Company. Before you make your investment decision, I urge you to read this Prospectus in its entirety and seek professional advice if required.

Yours sincerely

Geoffrey McNamara Executive Chair

Sections 5.3
and 7.2
C.
Key Risks
Exploration and
Operating
The mineral exploration licences and prospecting
licences comprising the Projects are at various
stages of exploration, and potential investors
should understand that mineral exploration and
development are high-risk undertakings.
There can be no assurance that future exploration
of these licences, or any other mineral licences
that may be acquired in the future, will result in the
discovery of an economic resource. Even if an
apparently viable resource is identified, there is no
guarantee that it can be economically exploited.
The future exploration activities of the Company
may be affected by a range of factors including
geological conditions, limitations on activities due
to seasonal weather patterns or adverse weather
conditions,
unanticipated
operational
and
technical difficulties, difficulties in commissioning
and operating plant and equipment, mechanical
failure
or
plant
breakdown,
unanticipated
metallurgical
problems
which
may
affect
extraction costs, industrial and environmental
accidents,
industrial
disputes,
unexpected
shortages
and
increases
in
the
costs
of
consumables, spare parts, plant, equipment and
staff, native title process, changing government
regulations and many other factors beyond the
control of the Company.
The success of the Company will also depend
upon the Company being able to maintain title to
the mineral exploration licences and prospecting
licences comprising the Projects and obtaining all
required
approvals
for
their
contemplated
activities.
In
the
event
that
exploration
programmes prove to be unsuccessful this could
lead to a diminution in the value of the Projects, a
reduction in the cash reserves of the Company
and possible relinquishment of one or more of the
mineral exploration licences or prospecting
licences comprising the Projects.
Section 7
Tenure and access Renewal
Mining and exploration tenements are subject to
periodic renewal. The renewal of the term of
granted tenements is subject to compliance with
the applicable mining legislation and regulations
and the discretion of the relevant mining
authority. Renewal conditions may include
increased expenditure and work commitments or
compulsory relinquishment of areas of the
Section 7

8

4881-03/2506092_10

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.
The Company considers the likelihood of tenure
forfeiture to be low given the laws and regulations
governing exploration in Western Australia and
the ongoing expenditure budgeted for by the
Company.
However,
the
consequence
of
forfeiture or involuntary surrender of a granted
tenements for reasons beyond the control of the
Company could be significant.
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
Crown Reserves,
pastoral
leases,
historical leases and native title areas.
In relation to native title, the Company notes it:
(a)
is aware that native title has been
determined for the South Telfer and
Kiwirrkurra Projects and is claimed over
the Laverton Project area;
(b)
has negotiated and entered into land
access agreements in relation to the
South Telfer Project;
(c)
has not yet entered into land access
agreements
for
the
Laverton
or
Kiwirrkurra Projects; and
(d)
is actively engaged with all local
community groups to negotiate and
enter into all requisite agreements to
access and conduct mining activities
on its Laverton and Kiwirrkurra Projects.
Please refer to the Solicitor’s Report on Tenements
in Annexure B for further details.
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, and debt financing, if
available, may involve restrictions on financing
and operating activities. If the Company is unable
to obtain additional financing as needed, it may
be required to reduce the scope of its operations
and scale back its exploration programmes as the
case may be. 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.
Section 7
Other risks For additional specific risks please refer to
Section 7.2. For other risks with respect to the
industry in which the Company operates and
general investment risks, many of which are
largely beyond the control of the Company and
its Directors, please refer to Sections 7.3 and 7.4.

5.2 The Projects

5.2.1 South Telfer Project

  • (a) Summary

The Company has acquired a 100% interest in the South Telfer Project, an area comprising 523.7km[2] that is located approximately 1,300 km northnortheast of Perth, Western Australia and between 10 and 25 km south and southeast of the Telfer gold mine owned by Newcrest Mining Ltd (ASX:NWC) ( Newcrest ). Rincon holds six exploration licences and two prospecting licences which comprise the South Telfer Project.

The Company entered into an agreement to acquire the South Telfer Project from Mr John Williams and Criterion Resources Ltd in December 2018. Neither of Mr Williams or Criterion is or has been a related party or promoter of the Company, and neither of them has any ongoing involvement with the Company. The Company completed the

acquisition in February 2019 and paid total consideration of $306,684 in cash.

(b)

Geology and Mineralisation

The South Telfer project lies within the Paterson Province where Proterozoic metasedimentary rocks sporadically outcrop through younger cover sequences. The rocks of the Paterson Province unconformably overlie the Pilbara Craton (Archaean) as well as Bangemall Basin sediments in the east. The Paterson Province has been divided into two main Groups; the Yeneena Supergroup and the Rudall Complex.

(c) Previous Exploration

Despite the long exploration history, drilling within the South Telfer project tenements is limited. Rincon has identified several prospective regional trends within the project area utilising the historical drilling, geochemistry and geophysical data sets. The South Telfer project area contains more than 50 km of prospective stratigraphy that hosts the Telfer gold mine.

Historical drilling by Newcrest in the 1990s and 2000s intersected significant gold and copper mineralisation within Rincon’s Dolphy West and Hasties tenements. Rincon’s Hasties tenement, located to the southwest of the Telfer gold mine, is considered to host favourable structural domains within the Telfer mine stratigraphy. Within Rincon’s Dolphy West tenements, wide spaced Aircore Drilling (AC) has defined a 5 km long gold anomaly, interpreted as the Westin Mineralisation Trend, part of the regional Telfer Mineralisation Trend.

In 2016, Newcrest reported an updated Mineral Resource on the Telfer Satellite deposits (Backdoor West, Big Tree and Dolphy) immediately to the northeast and outside of Rincon’s tenure at Dolphy West. Gold and copper mineralisation at the Telfer Satellite deposits consists of structurally controlled quartz stockworks, associated weathered sulphides, which are hosted in a folded and deformed sedimentary rock package, which outcrops in some areas. The total Mineral Resource for the Telfer Satellite deposits comprises 4.9 Mt at 1.3 g/t gold (Newcrest, 2016). The Telfer Mineralisation Trend continues along strike to the Dolphy West and Westin prospects within the Rincon tenure.

The mineralised target zone is under 20 to 100 m of sand and sedimentary cover. The Westin Mineralisation Trend is open for a further 25 km to the southeast with limited to no exploration and is moderately explored at best.

(d) Exploration Potential

The project has been subject to several phases of exploration with copper and gold mineralisation identified in multiple targets from surface by drilling. Rincon has compiled historical drilling and surface assay data, acquired high resolution aeromagnetic and developed new exploration models for detecting copper and gold mineralisation on the project tenements.

As set out in the Independent Technical Assessment Report set out in Annexure A to this Prospectus, the South Telfer project area is considered to have merit for further exploration. The proximity to the existing Telfer

23

4881-03/2506092_10

mine and the available high-quality geophysical data sets and significant open file geology and geochemistry data, provide the opportunity for a detailed data compilation and exploration target generation and ranking. Reprocessing of the geophysical data and detailed structural interpretation has commenced and will aid more focussed exploration targeting on each of the tenement groupings.

5.2.2 Laverton

(a) Summary

The Company currently holds a 51% interest in the Laverton Project, with the option to acquire an additional 49% interest (bringing the Company’s total interest in the Laverton Project to 100%) upon a final payment of $25,000, which is anticipated to occur on successful completion of the Offer. Refer to Section 9.2 for a summary of the key terms and conditions of the Laverton Acquisition Agreement.

The Laverton Project is comprised of two exploration licenses, which Rincon has the right to fully acquire, covering a total area of approximately 48km[2] and is located 720 km east-northeast of Perth and centred about 10 km southwest of the town of Laverton.

(b) Geology and Mineralisation

Gold mineralisation in the Laverton district is often associated with and hosted by Banded Iron Formation ( BIF ) in favourable structural settings. The Laverton gold project covers approximately 11 km of strike of the underexplored BIF, covering the southern strike extensions of the historical Gladiator gold deposits. Historical gold occurrences, Sunshine, Corio and Sunny Hill, are located within the tenements area.

25

4881-03/2506092_10

(c) Previous Exploration

The target BIF has been relatively unexplored due to the presence of thin alluvial cover (generally <5 m) and recent magnetic data interpretation has highlighted a number of prospective targets, where the BIF interacts with favourable northwest trending structures, which are associated with gold mineralisation elsewhere in the Mt Margaret-Murrin greenstone belt.

Recent soil sampling by Rincon in 2019 in the northern portion of the project outlined the GG gold-arsenic anomaly associated with the Sunshine-Corio Shear Zone which requires further follow-up work.

(d) Exploration Potential

Prospective shear zones with known potential for gold mineralisation as evidenced by historical workings and previous drilling remain to be fully tested. The southern extension of the mineralised BIF-sequence named the Gladiator trend remains a valid drill target together with the SunshineCorio Shear zone in the western part of the project. Recent geochemical sampling by Rincon identified the GG anomaly which is interpreted to be associated with the Sunshine-Corio shear zone and requires further work.

5.2.3 Kiwirrkura

(a) Summary

The Company has acquired a 100% interest the Kiwirrkurra Project, which is comprised of one exploration licence covering a total area of approximately 126km[2] . The Kiwirrkurra Project is located approximately 1,600 km northeast of Perth and is situated at the boundary of the Aileron and Warumpi provinces, proximal to the Northern Territory border.

The Kiwirrkurra project area is considered prospective for orogenic gold and Iron Oxide Copper Gold ( IOCG ) type gold and base metals.

==> picture [354 x 282] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 5 – location and licence area of the Kiwirrkurra project

26

4881-03/2506092_10

The Company entered into an agreement to acquire the Kiwirrkurra Project from Mr John Williams in June 2018. Mr Williams is not and has not been related party or promoter of the Company and has no ongoing involvement with the Company. The Company completed the acquisition in February 2019 and paid total consideration of $43,316.

(b) Geology and Mineralisation

The Kiwirrkurra Project is a modestly explored but remote IOCG mineralisation system which outcrops and is mineralised from surface. Historical drilling on the main Pokali prospect is relatively shallow compared to the apparent size of the system, with several drill holes finishing in elevated copper mineralisation (+0.1% copper grades). The drill holes are relatively short exploration holes, some with low to moderate copper mineralisation intersected for almost the full length of the drill holes. The anomalism in soil geochemistry data has an open strike extent of 4 km, and an across strike width of up to 1.25 km, demonstrating the significant size of the mineralised system.

(c) Previous Exploration

Exploration has been relatively sporadic and no exploration appears to have been completed since 2012. Much of the previous exploration within the project area focused on IOCG potential of the Pokali prospect at the western end of the tenement. Only minor anomalism has been identified on the tenement outside of the Pokali prospect.

(d) Exploration Potential

The Pokali copper-gold prospect was the subject of exploration in the early 2000’s outlining broad areas of anomalous copper-gold interpreted to be part of an IOCG system. The Pokali Project is associated with a larger geophysical feature which requires further exploration.

5.3 Business model

Following completion of the Offer, the Company’s proposed business model will be to further explore and develop the targets at the Projects. The Company’s main objectives will be to:

  • (a) systematically explore and seek to develop the Projects;

  • (b) focus on mineral exploration or resource opportunities that have the potential to deliver growth for Shareholders;

  • (c) continue to pursue other acquisitions that have a strategic fit for the Company;

  • (d) implement a growth strategy to seek out further exploration and acquisition opportunities in Australia; and

  • (e) provide working capital for the Company.

To achieve these objectives, following Official Quotation, the Company proposes to undertake the exploration programs set out below. These programs are designed to test the economic viability of the Company’s Projects, and results will determine the commercial viability and possible timing for the commencement

27

4881-03/2506092_10

of further work programs, including pre-feasibility studies and commencement of other mining operations on the Projects if warranted.

In order to manage these programs and subject to the results of each stage of work, the Company expects to supplement its existing personnel with additional technical expertise as and when needed with a mixture of both permanent and contractor positions.

The funds from the Offer together with existing cash reserves will allow the Company to further progress its business model.

5.4 Proposed Exploration Program and Development Plan

The Company intends to conduct an exploration program consisting of advancement of existing near surface targets at the Projects, utilising geochemical sampling, geophysical surveying followed by focussed drilling.

The Company’s priority exploration targets are Hastie’s and, Westin at the South Telfer project, the ‘GG’ anomaly at Laverton and the Pokali prospects at Kiwirrkurra.

Regional exploration programmes are intended to initially include geochemical and geophysical surveys over prospective mineralised trends followed by active drilling programs which are intended to provide sufficient drilling data to allow estimation of maiden JORC Resources at priority target areas.

Within the South Telfer Project, several drill-ready shallow targets exist including Hastie’s and Westin. Regional trends interpreted to be comparable to the established Telfer Mine mineralised setting, require first pass regional drill testing over several kilometres of potential strike.

Prospective mineralised trends occur within the Laverton Project and are associated with shear zones in varying geological settings. The Gladiator mineralised trend in BIF is interpreted to extend into the eastern portion of the project, where anomalous historical gold intercepts in shallow drilling remain to be fully tested. Similarly, recent work by the Company along the western side of the project has defined the “GG’ geochemical anomaly associated with regional shearing which requires further exploration.

At Kiwirrkurra, re-processing of existing historical geophysics combined with acquisition of further ground based geophysical data will be used to outline possible extensions to the Pokali mineralisation for Reverse Circulation (RC) and Diamond Drill (DD) testing. Regional work including geological mapping and geochemical surveys will also be completed to identify new targets within the project area.

Exploration and project development will use modern exploration techniques on the projects to understand and prioritise known and new exploration targets both geological and geophysical. New 3D maps and spatial data modelling techniques will be used to develop and prioritise new regional targets, with the aim of having a number of targets ready for drilling within all three project areas.

Exploration and development work in the first two years is intended to include:

  • (a) Approximately 13,000m of drilling at Telfer including RC and DD at Hastie’s and regional AC drilling along prospective mineralised trends;

  • (b) Approximately 20,000m of AC and RC drilling at Laverton;

28

4881-03/2506092_10

  • (c) Total of 2,500m of RC and DD at Kiwirrkurra;

  • (d) Ground geophysical surveys including Induced Polarization (IP) and Electro Magnetics (EM) at all three projects, including initial 3D IP surveys at Hastie’s;

  • (e) Geochemical sampling at all three projects;

  • (f) Geological mapping at all projects;

  • (g) Prospectivity modelling and targeting projects; and

  • (h) Resource studies at Hastie’s and Westin Prospects.

  1. Refer to Section 10.6 for further details.

  2. Administration costs include the general costs associated with the management and operation of the Company’s business including administration expenses, management salaries, directors’ fees, rent and other associated costs.

  3. To the extent that:

  4. (a) the Company’s exploration activities warrant further exploration activities; or

  5. (b) the Company is presented with additional acquisition opportunities,

the Company’s working capital will fund such further exploration and acquisition costs (including due diligence investigations and expert’s fees in relation to such acquisitions). Any amounts not so expended will be applied toward administration costs for the period following the initial 2-year period following the Company’s quotation on ASX.

It is anticipated that the funds raised under the Offer will enable 2 years of full operations (if the Minimum Subscription is raised). It should be noted that the Company may not be fully self-funding through its own operational cash flow at the end of this period. Accordingly, the Company may require additional capital beyond this point, which will likely involve the use of additional debt or equity funding. Future capital needs will also depend on the success or failure of each of the Company’s Projects. The use of further debt or equity funding will be considered by the Board where it is appropriate to fund additional exploration on the Projects or to capitalise on acquisition opportunities in the resources sector.

In the event the Company raises more than the Minimum Subscription of $5,000,000 under the Offer but less than the Maximum Subscription, the additional funds raised will be first applied towards the expenses of the Offer and then proportionally to the other line items in the above table.

The above table is a statement of current intentions as of the date of this Prospectus. As with any budget, intervening events (including exploration success or failure) and new circumstances have the potential to affect the manner in which the funds are ultimately applied. The Board reserves the right to alter the way funds are applied on this basis.

The Directors consider that following completion of the Offer, the Company will have sufficient working capital to carry out its stated objectives. It should however be noted that an investment in the Company is speculative and investors are encouraged to read the risk factors outlined in Section 7.

The Company will announce to the ASX details of its top-20 Shareholders following completion of the Offer prior to the Shares commencing trading on ASX.

5.9 Restricted Securities

Subject to the Company being admitted to the Official List and completing the Offer, certain Shares 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 Shares 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.

While the ASX has not yet confirmed the final escrow position applicable to the Company’s Shareholders, the Company anticipates that the following Shares will be subject to escrow:

  • (a) some or all of the Shares issued to the founders of the Company (including Geoffrey McNamara and Zeffron Reeves) and other promoters will be escrowed for a period of 24 months from the listing date;

  • (b) some of the Shares issued to various unrelated seed capitalists will be escrowed for a period of 12 months from the date of issue;

  • (c) the Shares to be issued to the Joint Lead Managers pursuant to the JLM Mandate will be escrowed for a period of 24 months from the listing date; and

32

4881-03/2506092_10

  • (d) a portion of the Shares to be issued on conversion of the Convertible Loans will be escrowed for 12 months from the date the Convertible Loans were advanced to the Company or for a period of 24 months from the listing date.

The number of Shares that are subject to ASX imposed escrow are at ASX’s discretion in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and underlying policy. The above is a good faith estimate of the Shares that are expected to be subject to ASX imposed escrow.

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 (which admission is subject to ASX’s discretion and approval).

The Company’s ‘free float’ (being the percentage of Shares not subject to escrow and held by Shareholders that are not related parties of the Company (or their associates) at the time of admission to the Official List) will be approximately 61.72% at Minimum Subscription, and approximately 65.14% at Maximum Subscription, comprising all shares issued (assuming that no related parties of the Company or their associates participate in the Offer) other than Shares subject to ASX imposed escrow or held by Directors or promoters.

5.10 Additional Information

Prospective investors are referred to and encouraged to read in its entirety both the:

  • (a) the Independent Technical Assessment Report in Annexure A for further details about the geology, location and mineral potential of the Company’s Projects; and

  • (b) the Solicitor’s Report on Tenements in Annexure B for further details in respect to the Company’s interests in the Tenements.

5.11 Dividend policy

The Company anticipates that significant expenditure will be incurred in the evaluation and development of the Company’s Projects. These activities, together with the possible acquisition of interests in other projects, are expected to dominate at least, the first two-year period following the date of this Prospectus. Accordingly, the Company does not expect to declare any dividends during that period.

Any future determination as to the payment of dividends by the Company will be at the discretion of the Directors and will depend on the availability of distributable earnings and the operating results and financial condition of the Company, future capital requirements and general business and other factors considered relevant by the Directors. No assurance in relation to the payment of dividends or franking credits attaching to dividends can be given by the Company.

Please note that past performance is not an indication of future performance.

6.2 Basis of preparation and presentation of the Financial Information

The Historical Financial Information has been extracted from the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the period from the date of incorporation to 30 June 2019 and for the year ended 30 June 2020, which were audited by RSM Australia Partners in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. The audited financial statements of the Company for the period ended 30 June 2019 and the year ended 30 June 2020 are available free of charge by request to the Company on +61 8 6555 2950.

RSM Australia Partners issued unmodified audit opinions on the financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2019 and the year ended 30 June 2020. As the Company required additional funding to continue its planned activities, the audit reports included an emphasis of matter in relation to material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, however the audit opinions were not modified in this regard. The Directors are of the view that, following receipt of the proceeds of the Offer, the Company will have sufficient funding to pursue its planned activities and continue as a going concern.

The Pro Forma Statement of Financial Position has been derived from the historical statement of financial position and includes pro forma adjustments for certain subsequent events and transactions associated with the Offer (as detailed in

34

4881-03/2506092_10

Section 6.6 below), as if those events and transactions had occurred as at 30 June 2020.

The Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles of Australian Accounting Standards and the significant accounting policies set out in Section 6.7 below.

The Financial Information is presented in an abbreviated form insofar as it does not include all the disclosures and notes required in an annual financial report prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory reporting requirements applicable to general purpose financial reports prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act.

The Directors are responsible for the preparation and inclusion of the Financial Information in the Prospectus. RSM Corporate Australia Pty Ltd has prepared an Independent Limited Assurance Report in respect of the Financial Information ( Investigating Accountant’s Report ).

6.7 Summary of significant accounting policies

  • (a) Basis of preparation

The Financial Information is presented for the consolidated entity comprising the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, South Telfer Mining Pty Ltd and Lyza Mining Pty Ltd, and has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement requirements of Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ( AASB ) that are mandatory for the current reporting period. Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

The Financial Information has been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, the revaluation of available-

38

4881-03/2506092_10

for-sale financial assets, financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, investment properties, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and derivative financial instruments. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars.

The preparation of the Financial Information requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the consolidated entity's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the Financial Information, are disclosed in note 6.7(q).

(b) Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Rincon as at 30 June 2020 and the results of all subsidiaries for the period then ended. Rincon and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the 'consolidated entity'.

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated entity has control. The consolidated entity controls an entity when the consolidated entity 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 to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the consolidated entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the consolidated entity are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the consolidated entity.

(c) Income tax

The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for:

  • (i) When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or

(ii) When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that

39

4881-03/2506092_10

the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously.

(d) Current and non-current classification

Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification.

An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the consolidated entity's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the consolidated entity's normal co cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

(e) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the statement of cash flows presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents also includes bank overdrafts, which are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the consolidated statement of financial position.

(f) Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days.

40

4881-03/2506092_10

The consolidated entity has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on days overdue.

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses.

(g)

Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the consolidated entity prior to the end of the financial period and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

(h) Fair value measurement

When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.

Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming they act in their economic best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

(i) Exploration and evaluation expenditure

Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.

Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the period in which the decision to abandon the area is made.

When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves. A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.

(j) Issued capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

41

4881-03/2506092_10

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.

(k) Borrowings

Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

(l) Finance costs

Finance costs attributable to qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the asset. All other finance costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

(m) Goods and Services Tax (GST) and similar taxes

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

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 tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority.

(n) Employee benefits

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

(o) Share-based payments

Equity-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees and external consultants. Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees and external consultants in exchange for the rendering of services. The cost of equity-settled transactions is measured at fair value on grant date.

The cost of equity-settled transactions is 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.

42

4881-03/2506092_10

Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore any awards subject to market conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions are satisfied.

If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification.

If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the consolidated entity or employee or external consultants, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the consolidated entity or employee or external consultants and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited.

If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new award is treated as if they were a modification.

(p) Other financial assets

Other financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are included as part of the initial measurement, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Such assets are subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is determined based on both the business model within which such assets are held and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset unless, an accounting mismatch is being avoided.

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or have been transferred and the consolidated entity has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. When there is no reasonable expectation of recovering part or all of a financial asset, its carrying value is written off.

(q) Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial period are discussed below.

43

4881-03/2506092_10

Exploration and evaluation costs have been capitalised on the basis that the activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves. Key judgements are applied in considering costs to be capitalised which includes determining expenditures directly related to these activities and allocating overheads between those that are expensed and capitalised.

7. RISK FACTORS

7.1 Introduction

The Shares offered under this Prospectus should be considered as highly speculative and an investment in the Company is not risk free.

The future performance of the Company and the value of the Shares may be influenced by a range of factors, many of which are largely beyond the control of the Company and the Directors. The key risks that have a direct influence on the Company, its Projects and activities are set out in Section 3. Those key risks as well as other risks associated with the Company’s business, the industry in which it operates and general risks applicable to all investments in listed securities and financial markets generally are described below.

The risks factors set out in this Section 7, or other risk factors not specifically referred to, may have a materially adverse impact on the performance of the Company and the value of the Shares. This Section 7 is not intended to provide an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed.

The Directors strongly recommend that prospective investors consider the risk factors set out in this Section 7, together with all other information contained in this Prospectus.

Before determining whether to invest in the Company you should ensure that you have a sufficient understanding of the risks described in this Section 7 and all of the other information set out in this Prospectus and consider whether an investment in the Company is suitable for you, taking into account your objectives, financial situation and needs.

If you do not understand any matters contained in this Prospectus or have any queries about whether to invest in the Company, you should consult your accountant, financial adviser, stockbroker, lawyer or other professional adviser.

7.2 Company specific risks

Risk Category Risk
Limited history Exploration has previously been conducted on the area of land the
subject of the Tenements, however, the Company is yet to conduct
its own exploration activities. As the primary purpose of the Offer is to
fund its exploration of the Projects, the Company will not commence
these activities until it has been admitted to the Official List.
No assurances can be given that the Company will achieve
commercial viability through the successful exploration and/or mining
of its Tenements. Until the Company is able to realise value from its
Projects, it is likely to incur ongoing operating losses.
Exploration and
operating
The
mineral
exploration
licences
and
prospecting
licences
comprising the Projects are at various stages of exploration, and
potential investors should understand that mineral exploration and
development are high-risk undertakings.
There can be no assurance that future exploration of these licences,
or any other mineral licences that may be acquired in the future, will
result in the discovery of an economic resource. Even if an apparently
viable resource is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be
economically exploited.
The future exploration activities of the Company may be affected by
a range of factors including geological conditions, limitations on
activities due to seasonal weather patterns or adverse weather

47

4881-03/2506092_10

Risk Category Risk
conditions, unanticipated operational and technical difficulties,
difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment,
mechanical failure or plant breakdown, unanticipated metallurgical
problems which may affect extraction costs, industrial and
environmental accidents, industrial disputes, unexpected shortages
and increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant,
equipment and staff, native title process, changing government
regulations and many other factors beyond the control of the
Company.
The success of the Company will also depend upon the Company
being able to maintain title to the mineral exploration licences and
prospecting licences comprising the Projects and obtaining all
required approvals for their contemplated activities. In the event that
exploration programmes prove to be unsuccessful this could lead to
a diminution in the value of the Projects, a reduction in the cash
reserves of the Company and possible relinquishment of one or more
of the mineral exploration licences or prospecting licences
comprising the Projects.
Tenure and access Renewal
Mining and exploration tenements are subject to periodic renewal.
The renewal of the term of granted tenements is subject to
compliance with the applicable mining legislation and regulations
and the discretion of the relevant mining 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.
The Company considers the likelihood of tenure forfeiture to be low
given the laws and regulations governing exploration in Western
Australia and the ongoing expenditure budgeted for by the
Company. However, the consequence of forfeiture or involuntary
surrender of a granted tenements for reasons beyond the control of
the Company could be significant.
Access
A number of the tenements comprising the Projects overlap certain
third-party interests that may limit the Company’s ability to conduct
exploration and mining activities including Crown Reserves, pastoral
leases, historical leases and native title areas.
In relation to native title, the Company notes it:
(a)
is aware that native title has been determined for the
South Telfer and Kiwirrkurra Projects and is claimed over the
Laverton Project area;
(b)
has negotiated and entered into land access agreements
in relation to the South Telfer Project;
(c)
has not yet entered into land access agreements for the
Laverton or Kiwirrkurra Projects; and
(d)
is actively engaged with all local community groups to
negotiate and enter into all requisite agreements to access
and conduct mining activities on its Laverton and
Kiwirrkurra Projects.
Please refer to the Solicitor’s Report on Tenements in Annexure B for
further details.
Climate risk There are a number of climate-related factors that may affect the
operations and proposed activities of the Company. The climate
change risks particularly attributable to the Company include:
(a)
the
emergence
of
new
or
expanded
regulations
associated with the transitioning to a lower-carbon
economy and market changes related to climate change
mitigation. The Company may be impacted by changes to

48

4881-03/2506092_10

Risk Category Risk
local or international compliance regulations related to
climate change mitigation efforts, or by specific taxation or
penalties for carbon emissions or environmental damage.
These examples sit amongst an array of possible restraints
on industry that may further impact the Company and its
profitability. 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; and
(b)
climate
change
may
cause
certain
physical
and
environmental risks that cannot be predicted by the
Company, including events such as increased severity of
weather patterns and 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.
Whilst the Company is able to transfer some of the above risks to third
parties through insurance, many of the associated risks are not able
to be insured or in the Company’s opinion the cost of transfer is not
warranted by the likelihood of occurrence of the risk event.
COVID-19 risk The outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is impacting
global economic markets. The nature and extent of the effect of the
outbreak on the performance of the Company remains unknown. The
Company’s Share price may be adversely affected in the short to
medium term by the economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19.
Further, any governmental or industry measures taken in response to
COVID-19 may adversely impact the Company’s operations and are
likely to be beyond the control of the Company.
The Directors are monitoring the situation closely and have
considered the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business and
financial performance. However, the situation is continually evolving,
and the consequences are therefore inevitably uncertain. If any of
these impacts appear material prior to close of the Offer, the
Company will notify investors under a supplementary prospectus.
Going Concern As set out in Section 6, the Company (and its subsidiaries) had net
cash outflows from investing activities of $112,959 for the financial
year ended 30 June 2020 and, as at 30 June 2020, the Company
(and its subsidiaries) had net current liabilities of $59,460. These events
or conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast
significant doubt on the Company’s (and its subsidiaries’) 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
subsidiaries’) debts as and when they fall due.

7.3 Industry specific risks

Risk Category Risk
Native title and
Aboriginal Heritage
In relation to the Projects, there currently is, and may in the future be
further areas over which legitimate common law native title rights of
Aboriginal Australians exist. As native title rights do exist, the ability of
the Company to gain access to tenements (through obtaining
consent of any relevant landowner), or to progress from the
exploration phase to the development and mining phases of
operations may be adversely affected.
For example, there is currently a registered but as yet undetermined
native title claim over both of the Company’s Laverton Tenements.
Further to this, it is possible that an Indigenous Land Use Agreement
(ILUA) may be registered against one or more of the tenements in
which the Company has an interest. The terms and conditions of any
such ILUA may be unfavourable for, or restrictive against, the
Company.
In addition, two of the Company’s mining tenements licence contain
Aboriginal heritage sites of significance which have been registered
with the Department of Indigenous Affairs. Approvals are required if
these sites will be impacted by exploration or mining activities. Delays
in obtaining such approvals can result in the delay to anticipated
exploration programmes or mining activities.
The Directors will closely monitor the potential effect of native title
claims or Aboriginal heritage matters involving tenements in which
the Company has or may have an interest.
Please refer to the Solicitor’s Report on Tenements in Annexure B of this
Prospectus for further details.
Exploration costs The exploration costs of the Company as summarised in Section 5.5
are based on certain assumptions with respect to the method and
timing of exploration. By their nature, these estimates and
assumptions are subject to significant uncertainty, and accordingly,
the actual costs may materially differ from the estimates and
assumptions. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the cost
estimates and the underlying assumptions will be realised in practice,
which may materially and adversely impact the Company’s viability.
Resource and
reserves and
exploration targets
The Company has identified a number of exploration targets based
on geological interpretations and limited geophysical data,
geochemical sampling and historical drilling. Insufficient data
however, exists to provide certainty over the extent of the
mineralisation. Whilst the Company intends to undertake additional
exploratory work with the aim of defining a resource, no assurances
can be given that additional exploration will result in the
determination of a resource on any of the exploration targets
identified. Even if a resource is identified no assurance can be
provided that this can be economically extracted.
Reserve and resource estimates are expressions of judgement based
on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates which
were valid when initially calculated may alter significantly when new
information or techniques become available. In addition, by their
very nature resource and reserve estimates are imprecise and
depend to some extent on interpretations which may prove to be
inaccurate.
Grant of future
authorisations to
explore and mine
If the Company discovers an economically viable mineral deposit
that is then intends to develop, it will, among other things, require
various approvals, licence and permits before it will be able to mine
the deposit. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to
obtain all required approvals, licenses and permits. To the extent that
required authorisations are not obtained or are delayed, the
Company’s operational and financial performance may be
materially adversely affected.

50

4881-03/2506092_10

Risk Category Risk
Mine development Possible future development of mining operations at the Projects is
dependent on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the
acquisition
and/or
delineation
of
economically
recoverable
mineralisation, favourable geological conditions, receiving the
necessary approvals from all relevant authorities and parties,
seasonal weather patterns, unanticipated technical and operational
difficulties encountered in extraction and production activities,
mechanical failure of operating plant and equipment, shortages or
increases in the price of consumables, spare parts and plant and
equipment, cost overruns, access to the required level of funding and
contracting risk from third parties providing essential services.
If the Company commences production on one of the Projects, its
operations may be disrupted by a variety of risks and hazards which
are beyond the control of the Company. No assurance can be given
that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the
development of the Projects.
The risks associated with the development of a mine will be
considered in full should the Projects reach that stage and will be
managed with ongoing consideration of stakeholder interests.
Environmental The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject
to State and Federal laws and regulations concerning the
environment. As with most exploration projects and mining
operations, the Company’s activities are expected to have an
impact on the environment, particularly if advanced exploration or
mine development proceeds. It is the Company’s intention to
conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental
obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws.
Mining operations have inherent risks and liabilities associated with
safety and damage to the environment and the disposal of waste
products occurring as a result of mineral exploration and production.
The occurrence of any such safety or environmental incident could
delay production or increase production costs. Events, such as
unpredictable rainfall or bushfires may impact on the Company’s
ongoing compliance with environmental legislation, regulations and
licences. Significant liabilities could be imposed on the Company for
damages, clean-up costs or penalties in the event of certain
discharges into the environment, environmental damage caused by
previous operations or non-compliance with environmental laws or
regulations.
The disposal of mining and process waste and mine water discharge
are under constant legislative scrutiny and regulation. 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.
Regulatory
Compliance
Regulatory Risks
The Company’s operating activities are subject to extensive laws and
regulations relating to numerous matters including resource licence
consent, environmental compliance and rehabilitation, taxation,
employee relations, health and worker safety, waste disposal,
protection of the environment, native title and heritage matters,
protection of endangered and protected species and other matters.
The Company requires permits from regulatory authorities to authorise
the Company’s operations. These permits relate to exploration,
development, production and rehabilitation activities.
While the Company believes that it is in substantial compliance with
all material current laws and regulations, agreements or changes in
their enforcement or regulatory interpretation could result in changes
in legal requirements or in the terms of existing permits and
agreements applicable to the Company or its properties, which could

51

4881-03/2506092_10

Risk Category Risk
have a material adverse impact on the Company’s current
operations or planned development projects.
Obtaining necessary permits can be a time-consuming process and
there is a risk that Company will not obtain these permits on
acceptable terms, in a timely manner or at all. The costs and delays
associated with obtaining necessary permits and complying with
these permits and applicable laws and regulations could materially
delay or restrict the Company from proceeding with the
development of a project or the operation or development of a mine.
Any failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations or permits,
even if inadvertent, could result in material fines, penalties or other
liabilities. In extreme cases, failure could result in suspension of the
Company’s activities or forfeiture of one or more of the Tenements.

7.4 General risks

Risk Category Risk
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, and debt financing, if available, may involve
restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company is
unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required
to reduce the scope of its operations and scale back its exploration
programmes as the case may be. 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.
Reliance on key
personnel
The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and the
strategic management of the Company depends substantially on its
senior management and its key personnel. There can be no
assurance given that there will be no detrimental impact on the
Company if one or more of these employees cease their
employment.
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 executive management team and
other 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.
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’s
exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its
ability to fund those activities. If activities cannot be funded, there is
a risk that any or all of the Company’s Tenements comprising the
Projects may have to be surrendered or not renewed. General
economic conditions may also affect the value of the Company and
its valuation regardless of its actual performance.
Currently no market There is currently no public market for the Company’s Shares, the
price of its Shares is subject to uncertainty and there can be no
assurance that an active market for the Company’s Shares will
develop or continue after the Offer.
The price at which the Company’s Shares trade on ASX after listing
may be higher or lower than the issue price of Shares offered under
this Prospectus and could be subject to fluctuations in response to
variations in operating performance and general operations and
business risk, as well as external operating factors over which the

52

4881-03/2506092_10

Risk Category Risk
Directors and the Company have no control, such as movements in
mineral prices and exchange rates, changes to government policy,
legislation or regulation and other events or factors.
There can be no guarantee that an active market in the Company’s
Shares will develop or that the price of the Shares will increase. There
may be relatively few or many potential buyers or sellers of the Shares
on ASX at any given time. This may increase the volatility of the
market price of the Shares. It may also affect the prevailing market
price at which Shareholders are able to sell their Shares. This may
result in Shareholders receiving a market price for their Shares that is
above or below the price that Shareholders paid.
Market conditions Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s
Shares regardless of the Company’s operating performance. Share
market conditions are affected by many factors such as:

general economic outlook;

introduction of tax reform or other new legislation;

interest rates and inflation rates;

changes in investor sentiment toward particular market
sectors;

the demand for, and supply of, capital; and

terrorism or other hostilities.
The market price of Shares can fall as well as rise and may be subject
to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in
general and resource exploration stocks in particular. Neither the
Company nor the Directors 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, and in
particular securities of exploration companies 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.
Further, after the end of the relevant escrow periods affecting Shares
in the Company, a significant sale of then tradeable Shares (or the
market perception that such a sale might occur) could have an
adverse effect on the Company’s Share price. Please refer to
Section 5.9 for further details on the Shares likely to be classified by the
ASX as restricted securities.
Commodity price
volatility and
exchange rate risks
If the Company achieves success leading to mineral production, the
revenue it will derive through the sale of product exposes the
potential income of the Company to commodity price and
exchange rate risks. Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by
many factors beyond the control of the Company. Such factors
include supply and demand fluctuations for precious and base
metals, technological advancements, forward selling activities and
other macro-economic factors.
Furthermore, international prices of various commodities are
denominated in United States dollars, whereas the income and
expenditure of the Company will be taken into account in Australian
currency, exposing the Company to the fluctuations and volatility of
the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and the
Australian dollar as determined in international markets.
Government policy
changes
Adverse changes in government policies or legislation may affect
ownership of mineral interests, taxation, royalties, land access, labour
relations, and mining and exploration activities of the Company. It is
possible that the current system of exploration and mine permitting in
Western Australia may change, resulting in impairment of rights and

53

4881-03/2506092_10

Risk Category Risk
possibly expropriation of the Company’s properties without adequate
compensation.
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 mineral exploration and
production is not always available and where available the costs can
be prohibitive.
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.
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.
Litigation Risks The Company is exposed to possible litigation risks including native
title claims, tenure disputes, environmental claims, occupational
health and safety claims and employee claims. 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, reputation, financial
performance and financial position. The Company is not currently
engaged in any litigation.

7.5 Investment speculative

The risk factors described above, and other risks factors not specifically referred to, may have a materially adverse impact on the performance of the Company and the value of the Shares.

Prospective investors should consider that an investment in the Company is highly speculative.

There is no guarantee that the Shares offered under this Prospectus will provide a return on capital, payment of dividends or increases in the market value of those Shares.

Before deciding whether to subscribe for Shares under this Prospectus you should read this Prospectus in its entirety and consider all factors, taking into account your objectives, financial situation and needs.

4881-03/2506092_10

In light of the Company’s size and nature, the Board considers that the current board is a cost effective and practical method of directing and managing the Company. As the Company’s activities develop in size, nature and scope, the size of the Board and the implementation of additional corporate governance policies and structures will be reviewed.

The Company’s main corporate governance policies and practices as at the date of this Prospectus are outlined below and the Company’s full Corporate Governance Plan is available in a dedicated corporate governance information section of the Company’s website http://www.rinconresources.com.au/.

(b) Board of Directors

The Board is responsible for corporate governance of the Company. The Board develops strategies for the Company, reviews strategic objectives and monitors performance against those objectives. The goals of the corporate governance processes are to:

  • (i) maintain and increase Shareholder value;

  • (ii) ensure a prudential and ethical basis for the Company’s conduct and activities consistent with the Company’s stated values; and

  • (iii) ensure compliance with the Company’s legal and regulatory objectives.

Consistent with these goals, the Board assumes the following responsibilities:

  • (i) leading and setting the strategic direction, values and objectives of the Company;

  • (ii) appointing the Chairman of the Board, Managing Director or Chief Executive Officer and approving the appointment of senior executives and the Company Secretary;

  • (iii) overseeing the implementation of the Company’s strategic objectives, values, code of conduct and performance generally;

  • (iv) approving operating budgets, major capital expenditure and significant acquisitions and divestitures;

  • (v) overseeing the integrity of the Company’s accounting and corporate reporting systems, including any external audit (satisfying itself financial statements released to the market fairly and accurately reflect the Company’s financial position and performance);

  • (vi) establishing procedures for verifying the integrity of those periodic reports which are not audited or reviewed by an external auditor, to ensure that each periodic report is materially accurate, balanced and provides investors with appropriate information to make informed investment decisions;

59

4881-03/2506092_10

  • (vii) overseeing the Company’s procedures and processes for making timely and balanced disclosure of all material information that a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of the Company’s securities;

  • (viii) reviewing, ratifying and monitoring the effectiveness of the Company’s risk management framework, corporate governance policies and systems designed to ensure legal compliance; and

  • (ix) approving the Company’s remuneration framework.

The Company is committed to the circulation of relevant materials to Directors in a timely manner to facilitate Directors’ participation in the Board discussions on a fully informed basis.

(c) Composition of the Board

Election of Board members is substantially the province of the Shareholders in general meeting, subject to the following:

  • (i) membership of the Board of Directors will be reviewed regularly to ensure the mix of skills and expertise is appropriate; and

  • (ii) the composition of the Board has been structured so as to provide the Company with an adequate mix of directors with industry knowledge, technical, commercial and financial skills together with integrity and judgment considered necessary to represent Shareholders and fulfil the business objectives and values of the Company as well as to deal with new and emerging business and governance issues.

The Board currently consists of four Directors (three non-executive Directors and one executive Director) of whom Edward Mason and Blair Sergeant are considered independent. The Board considers the current balance of skills and expertise to be appropriate given the Company for its currently planned level of activity.

To assist in evaluating the appropriateness of the Board’s mix of qualifications, experience and expertise, the Board intends to maintain a Board Skills Matrix to ensure that the Board has the skills to discharge its obligations effectively and to add value.

The Board undertakes appropriate checks before appointing a person as a Director or putting forward to Shareholders a candidate for election as a Director or senior executive.

The Board ensures that Shareholders are provided with all material information in the Board’s possession relevant to a decision on whether or not to elect or re-elect a Director.

The Company shall develop and implement a formal induction program for Directors, which is tailored to their existing skills, knowledge and experience. The purpose of this program is to allow new directors to participate fully and actively in Board decision-making at the earliest opportunity, and to enable new directors to gain an understanding of the Company’s policies and procedures.

The determination of non-executive Directors’ remuneration within that maximum will be made by the Board having regard to the inputs and value to the Company of the respective contributions by each non-executive Director.

  • (i) each Shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy, attorney or representative;

  • (ii) on a show of hands, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder has one vote; and

  • (iii) on a poll, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder shall, in respect of each fully paid Share held by him, or in respect of which he is appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote for the Share, but in respect of partly paid Shares shall have such number of votes as bears the same proportion to the total of such Shares registered in the Shareholder’s name as the amount paid (not credited) bears to the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited).

(c) Dividend rights

Subject to the rights of any preference Shareholders and to the rights of the holders of any shares created or raised under any special arrangement as to dividend, the Directors may from time to time declare a dividend to be paid to the Shareholders entitled to the dividend which shall be payable on all Shares according to the proportion that the

67

4881-03/2506092_10

amount paid or credited as paid is of the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited) in respect of such Shares.

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

Subject to the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, the Company may, by resolution of the Directors, implement on such terms and conditions as the Directors think fit, a dividend reinvestment plan which provides for any dividend which the Directors may declare from time to time payable on Shares which are participating Shares in the dividend reinvestment plan, less any amount which the Company shall either pursuant to the Constitution or any law be entitled or obliged to retain, be applied by the Company to the payment of the subscription price of Shares.

Winding-up

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

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

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

68

4881-03/2506092_10

wound up, may be varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of three-quarters of the issued shares of that class, or if authorised by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.

Dear Sirs

INDEPENDENT TECHNICAL ASSESSMENT REPORT

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

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

The mineral assets of Rincon and its 100% owned subsidiaries comprise the South Telfer, Laverton and Kiwirrkurra projects all located in Western Australia. The objectives of this Report are to provide an overview of the geological setting of the mineral assets and the associated mineralisation, outline the recent and historical exploration work undertaken over the project areas and comment on the completed exploration work with regards to project prospectivity.

Rincon has provided to Optiro drilling and sampling data and other information generated by Rincon, its subsidiaries and by previous owners of the mineral assets. Optiro has not completed a site inspection of the properties. The projects are at an early stage of assessment and it was considered that a site visit was unlikely to reveal any information or data that is material to this Report. The author, however, worked at the Telfer gold mine between 2000 and 2007 and has extensive experience and knowledge of the geology of South Telfer area. Furthermore, the author has worked extensively in the Eastern Goldfields and is satisfied that sufficient information was available to give an informed opinion on the various projects.

Based on Optiro’s assessment of Rincon’s mineral assets, it is our opinion that they are of value and contain exploration potential as presented. Optiro has considered the expenditure schedules, studies and exploration programmes outlined by Rincon and considers them to be reasonable and appropriate

==> picture [118 x 20] intentionally omitted <==

Independent Technical Assessment Report

==> picture [109 x 46] intentionally omitted <==

to progress the projects. However, all exploration projects are subject to risks from unforeseen future issues and events beyond the control of the company; in this sense, Rincon is no exception.

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

Optiro has prepared this Report on the understanding that the mineral assets held by Rincon are currently in good legal standing and has not independently verified Rincon’s legal tenure over its tenements. Optiro is not qualified to make statements in this regard and has relied upon information provided by Rincon.

Optiro has endeavoured, by making reasonable enquiry of Rincon, to ensure that all material information in the possession of Rincon has been fully disclosed. However, Optiro has not carried out any type of audit of the records of Rincon to verify that all material documentation has been provided. A final draft version of this Report was provided to the Directors of Rincon, along with a request to confirm that there are no material errors or omissions in the Report and that the technical information and interpretations provided by them and reflected in the Report are factually accurate. Confirmation of these terms has been provided in writing and has been relied upon by Optiro. Optiro has based its findings upon information supplied up until 23 October 2020.

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

Yours sincerely

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1. PURPOSE

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

The mineral assets of Rincon and its 100% owned subsidiaries comprise the South Telfer, Laverton and Kiwirrkurra projects all located in Western Australia.

1.2. SOUTH TELFER PROJECT

The South Telfer project is located approximately 1,300 km north-northeast of Perth and between 10 and 25 km south and southeast of the Telfer gold mine owned by Newcrest Mining Ltd (Newcrest). Rincon holds six exploration licences and two prospecting licences which cover a total area of approximately 520 km²

Despite the long exploration history, drilling within the South Telfer project tenements is limited. Rincon has identified several prospective regional trends within the project area utilising the historical drilling, geochemistry and geophysical data sets. The South Telfer project area contains more than 50 km of prospective stratigraphy that hosts the Telfer gold mine.

Historical drilling by Newcrest in the 1990s and 2000s intersected significant gold and copper mineralisation within Rincon’s Dolphy West and Hasties tenements. Rincon’s Hasties tenement, located to the southwest of the Telfer gold mine, is considered to host favourable structural domains within the Telfer mine stratigraphy. Within Rincon’s Dolphy West tenements wide spaced aircore drilling has defined a 5 km long gold anomaly, interpreted as the Westin Mineralisation Trend, part of the regional Telfer Mineralisation Trend. The mineralised target zone is under 20 to 100 m of sand and sedimentary cover. The Westin Mineralisation Trend is open for a further 25 km to the southeast with limited to no exploration and is moderately explored at best.

1.3. LAVERTON PROJECT

The Laverton project is located approximately 720 km east-northeast of Perth and centred about 10 km southwest of the town of Laverton. Rincon has the right to acquire two exploration licences which cover a total area of approximately 48 km² within the Mt Margaret-Murrin greenstone belt which is considered a highly prospective greenstone belt. The regionally significant gold mines of Wallaby and Granny Smith are located approximately 20 km south and southeast of the project area respectively.

Gold mineralisation in the Laverton district is often associated with and hosted by BIF in favourable structural settings. The Laverton gold project covers approximately 11 km of strike of the underexplored BIF, covering the southern strike extensions of the historical Gladiator gold deposits. Historical gold occurrences, Sunshine, Corio and Sunny Hill, are located within the tenements area.

The target BIF has been relatively unexplored due to the presence of thin alluvial cover (generally <5 m) and recent magnetic data interpretation has highlighted a number of prospective targets where

P a g e | 1

Independent Technical Assessment Report

==> picture [77 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

the BIF interacts with favourable northwest trending structures, which are associated with gold mineralisation elsewhere in the Mt Margaret-Murrin greenstone belt.

Recent soil sampling by Rincon in 2019 in the northern portion of the project outlined the GG goldarsenic anomaly associated with the Sunshine-Corio Shear Zone which requires further follow-up work.

1.4. KIWIRRKURRA PROJECT

The Kiwirrkurra project is located approximately 1,600 km northeast of Perth proximal to the Northern Territory border. Rincon holds one exploration licence which covers a total area of approximately 126 km². The Kiwirrkurra project area is considered prospective for orogenic gold and IOCG type gold and base metals.

The Kiwirrkurra project is a modestly explored, remote IOCG mineralisation system which is mineralised from surface. Historical drilling on the main Pokali prospect is relatively shallow compared to the apparent size of the system, with several drill holes finishing in elevated copper mineralisation (+0.1% copper grades). The drill holes are relatively short exploration holes, some with low to moderate copper mineralisation intersected for almost the full length of the drill holes. The anomalism in soil geochemistry data has an open strike extent of 4 km, and an across strike width of up to 1.25 km, demonstrating the significant size of the mineralised system.

Exploration has been relatively sporadic and no exploration appears to have been completed since 2012. Much of the previous exploration within the project area focused on IOCG potential of the Pokali prospect at the western end of the tenement. Only minor anomalism has been identified on the tenement outside of the Pokali prospect.

1.5. EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL

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

There are a number of highly prospective exploration opportunities within the Company’s portfolio, most notably in the South Telfer Project where several targets including Hasties East, Hasties SE and Westin present as compelling walk up drill targets at shallow depths. The Company plans to complete ground based geophysical surveys (IP) over these areas together with geochemical sampling to fine tune drill targets.

In the southeastern portion of the South Telfer Project, where depth of cover is estimated to be +50m, prospective stratigraphy identified from existing regional geophysical datasets will be enhanced with more detailed geophysics to better define target areas.

At the Laverton Project, prospective shear zones with known potential for gold mineralisation as evidenced by historical workings and previous drilling remain to be fully tested. The southern extension of the mineralised BIF-sequence named the Gladiator trend, remains a valid drill target together with the Sunshine-Corio Shear zone in the western part of the project. Recent geochemical sampling by Rincon identified the GG anomaly which is interpreted to be associated with the SunshineCorio shear zone and requires further work.

The Pokali Cu-Au Prospect located in the Company’s Kiwirrkurra Project was the subject of extensive exploration in the early 2000’s outlining broad areas of anomalous copper-gold interpreted to be part of an IOCG ( Iron Oxide Copper Gold) system. The Pokali Project is associated with a larger geophysical feature which requires further exploration.

2. INTRODUCTION AND TERMS OF REFERENCE

2.1. TERMS OF REFERENCE

At the request of the Company, an Independent Technical Assessment Report (Report) on the mineral assets of Rincon has been prepared.

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

Rincon is an Australian registered, Western Australian-focused metals exploration and development company. The mineral assets of Rincon and its 100% owned subsidiaries comprise the South Telfer, Laverton and Kiwirrkurra projects all located in Western Australia (Figure 2.1).

Independent Technical Assessment Report

==> picture [77 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

This report has been prepared by Mr Jason Froud (Principal) and was reviewed by Mrs Christine Standing (Principal) both of Optiro. This report has been prepared in accordance with the Australasian Code for Public Reporting of Technical Assessments and Valuations of Mineral Assets, 2015 Edition (the VALMIN Code, 2015), the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (the JORC Code, 2012) and the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) Regulatory Guides 111, 112 and 228.

Mr Jason Froud and Mrs Christine Standing meet the competency criteria as set out under Section 11 of the JORC Code, 2012 and Section 3.1 of the VALMIN Code, 2015. Mr Froud (MAIG) is responsible for this report. Mr Froud is a Principal Consultant with Optiro Pty Ltd and has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation, type of deposit under consideration and to the activities being undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as described by the JORC Code, 2012. Mr Froud consents to the inclusion in this Report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

The objectives of this Report are to provide an overview of the geological setting of Rincon’s mineral assets and the associated mineralisation, outline the recent and historical exploration work undertaken over the project areas and comment on the exploration potential of the project areas and the proposed future work programmes.

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

2.2. VALIDATION OF TENURE

Optiro has prepared this Report upon the understanding that the mineral licences held by Rincon are currently in good legal standing. Optiro has not independently verified Rincon’s legal tenure over its tenements and has relied on information provided by Rincon. Optiro understands that Rincon has engaged Steinepreis Paganin to review the tenement status which is included elsewhere in Rincon’s Prospectus. Among other things, this Report provides an opinion on Rincon’s mineral licences, forfeiture risk and royalties.

Optiro is not qualified to provide a legal opinion on the status of the granted project licences but has reviewed the licence permits and records and found them to be in good order. Accordingly, Optiro is satisfied that Rincon currently has good and valid title to the described granted licences required to explore and undertake project development on the project areas in the manner proposed. Rincon has met or exceeded licence expenditure and met licence conditions, and Optiro considers it likely that the licences will be renewed as and when required. Any future commercial exploitation of mineralisation will, however, require the grant of a mining lease.

Within Western Australia, Rincon holds seven granted exploration licences covering approximately 646.7 km[2] and two granted prospecting licences covering approximately 3.1 km[2] (Table 2.1). Furthermore, Rincon has the right to acquire the two Laverton exploration licences (48.1 km[2] ), with settlement subject to Rincon making a final settlement payment. Mineral licence definitions are provided below in Section 2.3. All tenements and applications are 100% held by Rincon through various subsidiary companies. Annual expenditure requirements on the tenements totals A$321,320 for each of years one and two.

2.3. LEGISLATION AND PERMITTING

All exploration and mining activity in Western Australia must be conducted under an authority from the Western Australian Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DMIRS), the Western Australian State Government department responsible for mineral resources. The following information is of a general nature and has been sourced from the Western Australian Department of Mines, Industry, Regulation and Safety website. There are seven different types of mining tenements prescribed under the Mining Act 1978:

  • Prospecting Licences (Sections 40 to 56, PL)

  • Special Prospecting Licences for Gold (Sections 56A, 70 and 85B)

  • Exploration Licences (Sections 57 to 69E, EL)

  • Retention Licences (Sections 70A to 70M)

  • Mining Leases (Sections 70O to 85A, ML)

  • General Purpose Leases (Sections 86 to 90)

  • Miscellaneous Licences (Sections 91 to 94, L).

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

PROSPECTING LICENCES

The maximum area for a prospecting licence is 200 hectares. Prospecting licences must be marked out unless otherwise specified. There is no limit to the number of licences a person or company may hold, but a security (A$5,000) is required in respect of each licence. The term of a prospecting licence is four years, with the provision to extend for one further four-year period. The holder of a prospecting licence may, in accordance with the licence conditions, extract or disturb up to 500 tonnes of material from the ground including overburden, and the Minister for Mines and Petroleum may approve extraction of larger tonnages. Prescribed minimum annual expenditure commitments and reporting requirements apply.

EXPLORATION LICENCE

On 28 June 1991, a graticular boundary (or block) system was introduced for exploration licences (one minute of latitude by one minute of longitude). The minimum size of an exploration licence is one block, and the maximum size is 70 blocks, except in areas not designated as mineralised areas, where

P a g e | 5

Independent Technical Assessment Report

==> picture [77 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

the maximum size is 200 blocks. An exploration licence is not marked out and there is no limit to the number of licences a person or company may hold, but a security bond (A$5,000) is required in respect of each licence.

For licences applied for after 10 February 2006, the term is five years plus a possible extension of five years and further periods of two years thereafter, with 40% of the ground to be surrendered at the end of year six. The holder of an exploration licence may, in accordance with the licence conditions, extract or disturb up to 1,000 tonnes of material from the ground, which includes overburden. The Minister for Mines and Petroleum may approve extraction of larger tonnages. Prescribed minimum annual expenditure commitments and reporting requirements apply. The owner of the exploration licence must complete an annual Expenditure Report on the tenement, demonstrating that the minimum prescribed expenditure has been met.

The owner of the exploration licence has surface access rights but no excavation rights. Access from outside the tenement needs to be negotiated with the pastoral owner, where relevant. Prior to drilling or any ground-disturbing work, an application and approval of a Program of Work (PoW) is required. A PoW provides the right to carry out specified exploration (e.g. drilling or trenching) on the tenements applied for. Permitting needs to be obtained for any infrastructure.

MINING LEASES

The maximum area for a Mining Lease applied for before 10 February 2006 is 1,000 hectares. Beyond that, the area applied for relates to an identified orebody as well as an area for infrastructure requirements.

An application for a Mining Lease must be accompanied by one of the following:

  • a Mining Proposal completed in accordance with the Mining Proposal Guidelines published by the department

  • a statement of mining operations and a mineralisation report that has been prepared by a qualified person

  • a statement of mining operations and a resource report that complies with the JORC.

There is no limit to the number of mining leases a person or company may hold. The term of a mining lease is 21 years and may be renewed for further terms. The lessee of a mining lease may work and mine the land, take and remove minerals, and do all the things necessary to effectually carry out mining operations in, on or under the land, subject to conditions of title. Prescribed minimum annual expenditure commitments and reporting requirements apply.

MISCELLANEOUS LICENCES

There is no maximum area for a miscellaneous licence. A miscellaneous licence is for purposes such as a roads and pipelines, or other purposes as prescribed in Regulation 42B. There is no limit to the number of miscellaneous licences a person or company may hold. The term of a miscellaneous licence is 21 years and it may be renewed for further terms. A miscellaneous licence can be applied for over (and can ‘co-exist’ with) other mining tenements.

GENERAL PURPOSE LEASES

Unless granted special approval by the Minister for Mines and Petroleum a general purpose lease can only be a maximum of 10 hectares. A general purpose lease is for purposes such as operating machinery, depositing or treating tailings etc. A person or company may hold an unlimited number of general purpose leases. The term of a general purpose lease is 21 years, and it may be renewed for further terms. A general purpose lease application requires a statement accompanying the

P a g e | 6

application to include either a development and construction proposal or a statement setting out specific intentions for the lease.

NATIVE TITLE

Native title rights and interests are those rights in relation to land or waters that are held by Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander peoples under their traditional laws and customs, and which are recognised by the common law. Native title was first accepted into the common law of Australia by the High Court of Australia's decision in Mabo (No 2) in 1992.

Australian law recognises that, except where native title had been wholly extinguished by the historical grant of freehold, leasehold and other interests, native title exists where Aboriginal people have maintained a traditional connection to their land and waters substantially uninterrupted since sovereignty. The rights and interests vary from case to case but may include the right to live and camp in the area, conduct ceremonies, hunt and fish, build shelter, and visit places of cultural importance. Some native title holders may also have the right to control access.

Australian law also requires that native title approval be obtained before mining applications can commence.

All of the project tenements are within the boundaries of native title claims (both registered and unregistered) and/or native title determinations. Registered native title claimants and holders of native title under the determinations are entitled to certain rights under the Future Act Provisions in respect of land in which native title may continue to subsist. Rincon may be liable to pay compensation to the determined native title holders for the impact of a tenement on native title. The amount of compensation will be determined in accordance with the Native Title Act, 1993 (NTA) and will be affected by the specific circumstances of each case.

South Telfer Mining Pty Ltd has entered into Land Access and Mineral Exploration Agreements over all the South Telfer project tenements with the Western Desert Lands Aboriginal Corporation who represent the Martu Native Title Holders. No other Native Title agreements in place.

Optiro is satisfied that all tenements are valid under the NTA. Rincon will however be required to negotiate and enter into new native title and heritage agreements with the native title holders as well as pay them compensation as required under the NTA.

2.4. RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE INDEPENDENT TECHNICAL REPORT

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

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

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

Optiro has independently reviewed all relevant technical and corporate information made available by the management of Rincon, which was accepted in good faith as being true, accurate and complete,

P a g e | 7

having made due enquiry of Rincon. Optiro has additionally sourced publicly available information relative to Rincon’s mineral assets.

Optiro has not completed a site inspection of the properties. The projects are at an early stage of assessment and it was considered that a site visit was unlikely to reveal any information or data that is material to this Report. The author, however, worked at the Telfer gold mine between 2000 and 2007 and has extensive experience and knowledge of the geology of South Telfer area. Furthermore, the author has worked extensively in the Eastern Goldfields and has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation, type of deposit under consideration and to the activities being undertaken.

3. SOUTH TELFER PROJECT

3.1. INTRODUCTION

The South Telfer project is located approximately 1,300 km north-northeast of Perth and between 10 and 25 km south and southeast of the Telfer gold mine owned by Newcrest Mining Ltd (Newcrest) (Figure 3.1). Rincon holds six exploration licences and two prospecting licences which cover a total area of approximately 523.7 km² (Table 2.1). The total annual minimum expenditure commitment is currently A$216,320.

The project is located within the Paterson Province which is tightly held (Figure 3.1) and has experienced considerable exploration focus since Rio Tinto’s (Rio Tinto) Winu copper/gold discovery in 2018 (maiden Inferred Mineral Resource of 503 Mt at 0.35% copper and 0.27 g/t gold, 28 July 2020 – Rio Tinton, 2020). Other significant discoveries in the area include: the Citadel joint venture between Antipa Minerals Ltd and Rio Tinto (63.8 Mt at 0.8 g/t gold and 0.2% copper – Antipa, 2020); and the Havieron joint venture between Greatland Gold plc and Newcrest (strong exploration results with a maiden Mineral Resource estimate expected in late 2020 – Greatland, 2020).

Within the South Telfer project area, there are three tenement groups comprising the Hasties tenement (10 km due south of the Telfer mine), the larger Dolphy West tenement (25 km southeast of the Telfer mine) and the ‘Middle’ tenements between Hasties and Dolphy West (Figure 3.2).

Access to the project area is via the well maintained Telfer Mine Road (from Port Hedland) and then via the local Grace Road together with numerous gridlines/tracks from previous exploration. The area is remote and the general physiography is dominated by elongate, sinuous northwest-southeast striking ridges as a result of steep folding. The terrain is difficult to traverse with access restricted to creeks where they transect the strike ridges. In the southwestern part of the project, longitudinal sand dunes track northwest-southeast and restrict direct access.

Seasons are characterised by hot summers with occasional tropical rainfall activity. Maximum temperatures exceed 40°C in summer dropping to mid-20s in winter. Vegetation is typically sparse and consists of spinifex with larger trees/shrubs along watercourses and alluvial plains.

3.2. GEOLOGY

The South Telfer project lies within the Paterson Province where Proterozoic metasedimentary rocks sporadically outcrop through younger cover sequences. The rocks of the Paterson Province unconformably overlie the Pilbara Craton (Archaean) as well as Bangemall Basin sediments in the east. The Paterson Province has been divided into two main Groups; the Yeneena Supergroup and the Rudall Complex.

The South Telfer project area is hosted within the Yeneena Supergroup, inferred to be a marine shelf sequence of sand, mud and mixed carbonate deposits (Figure 3.3). The Yeneena Supergroup

P a g e | 8

stratigraphy is deformed by isoclinal upright folds with north-westerly striking axial planes. The folds are non-cylindrical, plunging both north-westerly and south-easterly at moderate to steep angles. The production of dome and basin structures is attributed to a later east-northeast cross folding event. The Yeneena Supergroup has been affected by lower greenschist facies regional metamorphism, which is interpreted as synchronous with the first regional deformation event.

Figure 3.1 South Telfer project with neighbouring tenure (source: Rincon)

==> picture [394 x 440] intentionally omitted <==

Late to post tectonic granitoids intruded the upper Yeneena Supergroup at approximately 620 Ma and produced extensive low-grade contact metamorphic aureoles (in the order of 1 km) which overprint the regional metamorphic fabric. Glaciation in the early Permian eroded the Proterozoic outcrops and the Paterson Formation, a thick blanket of fluvioglacials, was unconformably deposited on the resultant peneplain. Dolerite sills and dykes occur in the Telfer district. Some dolerite bodies are deformed, altered and cut by granite veins and pegmatites and hence were emplaced before the intrusion of the granitoids.

The South Telfer project area is characterised by sub-cropping, northwest-southeast, folded Isdell, Telfer and Puntapunta Formation sediments in the northwest portion of the project. Towards the north, the Malu Formation sediments are overlain by the Puntapunta Formation, a sequence of

P a g e | 9

laminated to thinly bedded, dark grey dolomitic siltstone and minor sandstone. In the southeast portion of the project area, Permian glacial sediments overlie the Proterozoic sediments which are interpreted to increase in thickness to the southwest. More recent sands, silcrete and fericrete overlie the Permian lithologies.

3.3. MINERALISATION

SOUTH TELFER MINERALISATION TREND

The Telfer stratigraphy, including the Puntapunta Formation, Telfer Formation and Malu Quartzite, is interpreted as continuing into Rincon’s Dolphy West tenement area. Rincon’s Dolphy West and Westin prospect areas are along strike and are in the same stratigraphic package as the Telfer gold mine.

In 2016, Newcrest reported an updated Mineral Resource on the Telfer Satellite deposits (Backdoor West, Big Tree and Dolphy) immediately to the northeast and outside of Rincon’s tenure at Dolphy West. Gold and copper mineralisation at the Telfer Satellite deposits consists of structurally controlled quartz stockworks and associated weathered sulphides near surface hosted in a folded and deformed sedimentary rock package. The total Mineral Resource for the Telfer Satellite deposits comprises 4.9 Mt at 1.3 g/t gold (Newcrest, 2016). The Telfer Mineralisation Trend continues along strike to the Dolphy West and Westin prospects within the Rincon tenure (Figure 3.2 and Figure 3.4).

Within Rincon’s Dolphy West tenements wide spaced aircore drilling has defined a 5 km long gold anomaly, interpreted as the Westin Mineralisation Trend, part of the regional Telfer Mineralisation Trend (Figure 3.5 and Figure 3.2). The mineralised target zone is under 20 to 100 m of sand and sedimentary cover. The Westin Mineralisation Trend is open for a further 25 km to the southeast with limited to no exploration and is moderately explored at best.

PARALLEL RANGE GROUP

Several projects occur to the south of the Telfer mine on a mineralised trend which is parallel to the Telfer Mineralisation Trend and was defined by Newcrest as the Parallel Range Group. The Hasties prospect is part of Parallel Range Group trend and is hosted within the Isdell Formation, one of the basal stratigraphic formations of the Yeneena Supergroup and considered part of the Telfer mine sequence (Figure 3.3). The trend continues into the ‘Middle’ tenements between the Hasties and Dolphy West tenements.

Breccias are common within the Isdell Formation with quartz/carbonate and quartz-carbonatesiltstone breccias the most abundant. At Hasties, advanced dolomitic breccia consists of randomly dispersed and oriented clasts of Isdell Formation in a matrix of quartz and carbonate. Large rafts of deformed sediment occur throughout this breccia. At Hasties Retreat, to the northwest, the breccias are indirectly related to the axial plane of minor parasitic folds. The breccia is generally a gossanous limonitised siltstone/calcilutite with oxides. This breccia grades into a quartz/carbonate/siltstone breccia to the west.

3.4. PREVIOUS EXPLORATION

The area covered by Rincon’s South Telfer tenements was first explored in 1973 when gossanous rock samples containing gold and copper were located. In 1973, Newmont Mining Australia Limited (Newmont) completed geological mapping and subsequent reverse circulation (RC) and diamond drilling. The results from this work led Newmont to conclude that the area would not contain a deposit of significance.

P a g e | 12

The area was subsequently explored by several other exploration companies including Newcrest who explored the general area from 1989 to 2004. Exploration in 1990 included gridding a 6.2 km by 1.8 km area covering a prospective zone of the Isdell Formation on a 100 m by 100 m spacing. Detailed soil sampling using this grid was undertaken with 920 samples collected and several anomalous areas delineated. Rock chip sampling (65 grab samples) at the same time returned a number of anomalous results. Newcrest subsequently drilled some 260 holes for a total of 24,762 m within the South Telfer tenement areas.

The Newcrest drilling included a rotary air blast (RAB)/percussion drilling programme (41 holes for 2,437 m) in 1991 to test the 1990 geochemical soil anomalies. A further two diamond drill holes were completed for 282 m.

Further geological mapping, rock chip sampling, deflation lag sampling, geophysical surveys and drilling was undertaken in the South Telfer project area between 1992 and 2003. In 2000, Newcrest completed drilling at Trotman’s Dome, Dolphy and Backdoor prospects (outside of Rincon’s licence area) and, as noted above, this culminated in a Mineral Resource being estimated for the Telfer Satellite deposits.

Minor drilling in the Dolphy-Westin area occurred after 2000 until 2008 when 44 aircore holes for a total of 3,967 m were completed to test the eastern extensions of the Backdoor, Dolphy and Big Tree trends into Rincon’s Dolphy West and Westin prospect areas (Figure 3.6). Evidence of mineralisation was weak and included minor iron staining and iron stained quartz veining along with rare pyrite and pyrite pseudomorphs and pocking. The maximum gold values from the 44 holes drilled comprised 15 values between 10 and 100 ppb gold, three values between 100 and 204 ppb gold and one value of 6,978 ppb gold over 4 m. The results, with a peak of 8m @ 3.85 g/t Au from 84m in WSA08039 (Aircore, Figure 3.4), suggest an east-southeast trend of elevated gold zones from the Trotmans SE and Dolphy areas, parallel with stratigraphy and noted fold closures.

Rincon’s Hasties tenement is considered to host favourable structural domains within the Telfer mine stratigraphy. Drilling by Newcrest identified significant gold and copper intercepts at Hasties (Table 3.1 and Figure 3.7). There has been limited exploration beyond the known strike length of the mapped surface gossans. Anomalous arsenic and gold (ppb) surface geochemistry has been identified which has not been closed out by the previous drilling.

Newcrest’s exploration concentrated mainly on other prospects areas after 2003, leading to the delineation of several other advanced prospects. Little further work was undertaken within the areas covered by Rincon’s South Telfer project and portions of the area were subsequently relinquished by Newcrest.

Between 2004 and 2017, part of the area was held by a prospector who completed minor reconnaissance activities.

3.5. CURRENT EXPLORATION AND MINERALISATION POTENTIAL

Despite the long exploration history, drilling within the South Telfer project tenements is limited. Evaluation of previous exportation data and reprocessing geophysical data sets may generate targets within a well-defined structural corridor within or parallel to the Telfer Mineralisation Trend.

During 2017, Rincon commenced data review and compilation of the historical drilling. Other data relevant to previous exploration including extensive geochemistry, geophysics, mapping and photo mosaics is being compiled and re-evaluated. Rincon has identified several prospective regional trends within the project area utilising the historical drilling, geochemistry and geophysical data sets. The South Telfer project area contains more than 50 km of prospective stratigraphy that hosts the Telfer gold mine. Rincon plans to acquire higher quality geophysical data to refine the identification and selection of targets for further exploration. Interpreting structural repetition of domal features to the southwest within the project area is considered a priority.

In the northwest portion of the project, the Hasties area outcrops over 200 m of gossanous material, although only 21 holes have been historically drilled, testing only 300 m of strike. The reasons for this are unclear and there is potential to expand the strike length of the mineralisation due to limited drill coverage away from the gossan. The mineralisation at Hasties and Hasties SE remain open in several directions with the style of mineralisation considered to be structurally controlled, plunging zones within carbonate-rich Isdell Formation rocks.

Optiro notes that the significant gold and copper drill hole intersections at Hasties (East and SE) are often associated with breccias and are drilled down-dip from structures and therefore may overstate their significance. The breccia style mineralisation may have limited volume and an irregular distribution, however, the down dip extensions of the gold mineralisation identified by Rincon are largely untested and warrant further exploration work.

P a g e | 15

Independent Technical Assessment Report

==> picture [77 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

Drilling away from the main outcropping Hasties and Hasties SE mineralised zones has recorded anomalous gold-copper geochemistry in wide spaced drilling which required follow-up. It is considered crucial that detailed mapping of outcrop be completed to locate further domal structures and aid in drill hole locations. At the Redback prospect, located to the north of Hasties , deep, although wide spaced limited drilling has intersected anomalous copper-gold in carbonate-rich sediments, surface geochemistry suggests mineralisation has not been fully tested with the limited drilling.

Within the Middle group of tenements, mineralisation associated with structural trends from the Grace deposit, located southwest and outside of the South Telfer project, is considered a priority target. Only limited historical drilling has been completed in these tenements.

The Dolphy-Westin tenements are along strike from the main Telfer deposit stratigraphy and also along strike from Newcrest’s Dolphy and Backdoor deposits. There is potential for structural repetition of the mineralised systems to the southeast of Telfer-Dolphy and within Rincon’s Dolphy West tenements. Previous drilling has recorded significant intersections in wide spaced vertical aircore drilling including 4m at 6.9 g/t gold from 88 m in drill hole WSA08039. Approximately 40 to 90 m of cover overlies the anomalous zone. There is potential for further structural repetitions/domal features under cover within the southwest of the South Telfer project area with little drilling completed.

The South Telfer project area is considered to have merit for further exploration. The proximity to the world class Telfer mine and the available high-quality geophysical data sets and significant open file geology and geochemistry data, provide the opportunity for a detailed data compilation and exploration target generation and ranking. Reprocessing of the geophysical data is recommended and detailed structural interpretation would aid more focussed exploration targeting on each of the tenement groupings.

4. LAVERTON PROJECT

4.1. INTRODUCTION

The Laverton project is located approximately 720 km east-northeast of Perth and centred about 10 km southwest of the town of Laverton (Figure 4.1). Rincon has the right to acquire two exploration licences which cover a total area of approximately 48.1 km² (Table 2.1). The total annual minimum expenditure commitment is currently A$65,000. The regionally significant gold mines of Wallaby and Granny Smith are located approximately 20 km south and southeast of the project area respectively.

Access to the project is via the sealed Goldfields Highway and Laverton-Leonora Road from Kalgoorlie and then via the unsealed Old Laverton Road and various tracks within the project area.

4.2. GEOLOGY AND MINERALISATION

The Laverton project is located within the Mt Margaret-Murrin greenstone belt (MMMG) in the Eastern Goldfields province of the Yilgarn Craton in Western Australia. The Yilgarn Craton is an Archaean granite–greenstone terrane covering approximately 657,000 km[2] in area and comprising north-trending greenstone belts separated by granite. More than 3,000 tonnes of gold have been produced from the Yilgarn craton, almost entirely from the greenstone belts and from small, granitoid bodies within and at the margins of the greenstone belts. The Eastern Goldfields province is the most richly mineralised (gold and nickel) and as a result, has been the focus of a large amount of research and mineral exploration.

The Laverton project occurs on the eastern limb of the south plunging Mt Margaret Anticline. About 40% of the licence area hosts some type of exposure, mostly as north-south BIF-sediment ridges and saprolite/saprock after mafic rocks. The sequence comprises a thick pile of greenschist facies basalts

P a g e | 16

intruded extensively by porphyries and locally by minor dolerites with felsic tuffs, cherts and BIF (Figure 4.2). Alluvial/colluvial cover occurs within the central portion of the project area.

Milky white quartz veins are common throughout the area and are invariably associated with the historical Helius, Sonny Boy, Sunny Hill, Sunshine and Corio gold workings. Fieldwork has identified three styles of gold mineralisation: quartz veins and stringers in basalt shear zones; in fractures in porphyries; and on contacts between quartz veins and their host rocks and between porphyries and basalts.

The MMMG is considered a highly prospective greenstone belt with over 28 Moz of gold endowment documented, largely from the Sunrise, Wallaby and Granny Smith gold mines (Salier, 2003). Gold mineralisation in the Laverton district is often associated with and hosted by BIF in favourable structural settings. The Laverton gold project covers approximately 11 km of strike of the underexplored BIF, covering the southern strike extensions of the historical Gladiator gold deposits.

The target BIF has been relatively unexplored due to the presence of thin alluvial cover (generally <5 m) and recent magnetic data interpretation has highlighted a number of prospective targets where the BIF interacts with favourable northwest trending structures, which are associated with gold mineralisation elsewhere in the MMMG.

4.2.1. MINERALISATION

Several mineralisation groupings or lines of workings occur within the Laverton project (Figure 4.1). These are located largely within a magnetic quiet zone and include the Sunshine, Corio and Sunny Hill gold occurrences. Little available information is available on these occurrences. The Geological Survey of Western Australia (GSWA) maps indicate that the mineral occurrences are located within greenstone belts as fine-grained mafic rocks.

Several significant mineral deposits are adjacent to and along strike from the Laverton project tenements. These include the Gladiator mining centre to the immediate north, the Apollo mining centre, the Laverton mining centre and the Euro mining centre. Larger deposits in the region include the Wallaby mine 20 km to the south and the Granny Smith mine 20 km to the southeast.

GLADIATOR MINE CENTRE

The Gladiator mine (area held by Focus Minerals Ltd, Focus) historically produced 409,356 tonnes of ore at 2.49 g/t yielding 30,149 ounces of gold. Information regarding the Gladiator mine workings was sourced by Rincon from open file documents. The name relates to two sites; one is south of the Old

Laverton Road as a modern abandoned open pit, while the other site contains five pits named as West Laverton gold mine.

There are two felsic dykes mapped on the west wall of the pit in BIF, and it appears these were the focus of historic mining with high-grade gold hosted by the silica-rich BIF. High-grade gold was also found in cross faults, fractured fold hinges and sulphide-rich BIF. Gold has also developed along the contact with the felsic intrusive and quartz veins within the shear system.

APOLLO MINING CENTRE

The Apollo deposit is located 8 km southwest of Laverton and adjacent to the Rincon tenement boundary. Limited open file information is available. Crescent Gold Ltd (Crescent, now Focus) held the area in 2011 and reported a Probable Ore Reserve of 770 kt at 2.2 g/t gold for 54,000 ounces under JORC 2004 guidelines (Crescent, 2011).

LAVERTON MINING CENTRE

The main historical workings/mineralisation in the immediate Laverton area is the Craiggiemore pit located approximately 4 km south of Laverton. Information regarding the Craiggiemore mine workings has been sourced from open file documents.

Gold is found in folded and faulted BIF, interleaved with mafic rocks and minor sedimentary rocks. Significant gold was found in the supergene zone within 40 m of saprolite clays. Historical underground mining followed high-grade shoots at four levels down a 125 m deep shaft. The old miners left the broader lower grade (~2.0 g/t gold) as uneconomic at the time. These steep plunging shoots developed at the intersection of the dominant north-south structures and later northwest trending faults.

Historically, the Craiggiemore mine was considered one of the most substantial in the Laverton area. Mining was first recorded in 1897, with extensive mining until 1907 by London based Craiggiemore Pty Ltd. During this period, Craiggiemore Pty Ltd mined 105,702 tonnes of ore for 35,403 ounces of gold at 6.7 dwt per tonne (10.5 g/t gold). The mine was variably worked up until 1947. A government geologist report in the early days of Craiggiemore Pty Ltd states it was one massive lode 150 to 200 ftwide, with three payable ore shoots called East, West and Middle.

In 2008, Crescent released a Mineral Resource estimate for Craiggiemore based on data from nearly 760 drill holes. This comprised 1.5 Mt of combined Measured and Indicated Resources at 1.6 g/t gold for 77,000 ounces of contained gold reported above a 0.5 g/t cut-off. An additional Inferred Resource of 0.1 Mt at 1.6 g/t gold for 5,400 ounces was also reported (Crescent, 2011b).

EURO MINING CENTRE

Initial prospecting at Euro commenced in 1885, with periodic and mostly unsuccessful alluvial mining through to 1904. More modern exploration commenced in the 1970s with various owners through to the late 1990s.

The original Euro underground workings comprise a historical shaft just north of the main pit. It consists of stone walling, timber, as a three-compartment incline shaft with workings underground across four levels to the south-southeast of the shaft. Small historical pits, battery foundations and tailings are nearby. A later abandoned elongated open pit remains at the site.

The mineralisation is described as quartz vein hosted gold, with only minor gold in the highly altered and sheared wall rocks. Three sets of veining are noted:

P a g e | 19

Independent Technical Assessment Report

==> picture [77 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

  • Quartz veins within the main west shear, plunging gently south. These range up to 1.5 m thick, with iron stained, vuggy and crystalline quartz and pseudomorphs after pyrite and chalcopyrite. This veining was extensively stoped down to 74 m and along strike for 150 m.

  • Thin milky to clear crystalline quartz veins with patchy gold.

  • Sub-horizontal quartz veins dipping gently east, striking parallel to the west shear. The quartz is milky and forms in tension fractures from the footwall of the west shear.

As at 30 June 2011, Crescent Gold Ltd had reported Mineral Resources under the JORC 2004 guidelines comprising Indicated Resources of 255 kt at 1.7 g/t gold (14,000 oz) and Inferred Resources of 314 kt at 1.7 g/t gold (17,000 oz) (Crescent, 2011c).

4.3. EXPLORATION

The regional area has been the subject of modern gold and base metals exploration since the 1980s but the Rincon tenement area has been sparsely drilled. Most of the drilling has been focused along the BIF running south from the Gladiator deposit. Most holes drilled along this trend are shallow RAB and vacuum holes that do not reach top of fresh rock. The vacuum drilling is largely considered ineffective in testing the potential of the project area

Within the available dataset for the project area, the base of the regolith profile has been reached in only seven drill holes. Much of the drilling does not reach the base of the regolith profile and a large number of drill holes only test the upper 20 m. The average drill hole depth across the entire project area is approximately 31 m (Table 4.1). The average depth to the base of laterite is between 40 m and 80 m.

Significant drill results of greater than 1 g/t gold are found in three drill holes in the north of E38/2908 (Figure 4.3). Mineralisation intercepted in SSB047 (4 m at 1.55 g/t gold from 21 m down hole) is hosted within an oxidised tholeiitic mafic rock. Minor gold anomalism in the drill hole immediately east suggests the host structure dips to the east but lack of drilling to the north and south does not allow the strike of the host structure to be constrained. Drill hole SSAC003 (1 m at 1.46 g/t gold from 53 m down hole) is hosted within BIF.

Just inside of the licence area, gold intercepted in BGB033 (7 m at 15.95 g/t gold from 21 m downhole) is hosted within an undifferentiated felsic intrusion and is interpreted to occur within a structure that dips to the east based upon anomalous intervals in adjacent drill holes. Again, the lack of drilling to the north and south does not allow the strike of the host structure to be constrained.

Further regolith mapping and interpretation was completed in the 2017-2018 period. The area comprises sub-cropping ironstone BIF+/- felsic material with associated eluvial scree. Some milky quartz scree is located sporadically within the tenement and may be related to northwest trending faults. In the western portion of the tenement, saprolite to sub-crop after mafic rocks has been noted.

Interpretation of the open file aeromagnetic data was completed by Rincon during 2016-2017. A series of magnetic BIF/chert horizons are the prominent north-south striking magnetic features,

hosted within mafic volcanic and sedimentary units. A series of northwest trending linear features, which correspond to porphyry intrusive rocks, cross-cut and displace the stratigraphy.

Figure 4.3 Historical drilling within the Laverton project area (source: Rincon)

==> picture [331 x 463] intentionally omitted <==

Known gold deposits proximal to the Laverton project are generally spatially associated with the magnetic stratigraphy, however, the historical workings within the project area (Sonny Boy and Sunshine) do not show a relationship to magnetic units. The ‘Gladiator’ magnetic stratigraphy can be traced south into the project area and is worthy of further exploration, especially where under cover (Figure 4.4).

Interpretation of the re-processed geophysics has greatly increased the understanding of the geology within the Laverton project area. Subtle structural offsets associated with the predominantly northsouth striking high magnetic units (BIFs) can be seen in the eastern-central portion of the project area to the south of the Gladiator group of deposits, outlining southerly extensions to the mineralised trends associated with BIF units. A northerly striking fault/shear is also observed in the central portion of the tenement and is associate with the historical Sunshine and Corio workings.

P a g e | 21

Independent Technical Assessment Report

==> picture [77 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

The regolith mapping completed by Rincon in 2017 was overlain on magnetic imagery and shows a correlation between current drainage patterns and magnetic gravels/transported laterite. This may increase the occurrence of transported gold-in-soil anomalies and aid in the interpretation of geochemical results.

In 2019, Rincon collected 98 geochemical samples and carried out multi-element analysis to define the 4 m at 1.55 g/t from 21m intersected in the isolated, historical drill line containing SSB047. A large multi-element anomaly named the GG Anomaly was identified in the area targeted by the geochemical sampling.

The GG anomaly straddles at least two northwest trending faults proximal to the Sunshine-Corio Shear and appears to be preferentially oriented to the northwest-southeast. The isolated historical drill line in the central portion of the sampled area may be quite oblique to the mineralised trend. Rincon consider the GG Anomaly to be highly prospective and is planned to be drilled post listing targeting the northwest trend. This trend has not been tested previously with the majority of historical drilling along a NS orientation focussing on the main shear zone.

4.4. EXPLORATION POTENTIAL

Despite the long exploration history of the Laverton area and production profile of the district, there has been limited exploration within the exploration tenements of the Laverton project. Effective drill testing is limited with most holes appearing to intersect only the upper regolith profile.

The Laverton project is considered to be prospective for orogenic gold mineralisation with reasonable indications of gold mineralisation from historical exploration data and being located in a well-endowed gold producing terrane. The tenements have had limited exploration, which is surprising given the proximity to Laverton and the gold production of the region.

The BIF horizon is a target that has not previously been explored adequately, though it is subdued compared to Apollo, Euro and Laverton mining centres. The significant drill intersections generated by previous explorers in the felsic volcanics also warrant further exploration and highlight the potential for gold mineralisation in the felsic volcanics within the tenements.

The prospectivity of the Laverton project tenements is enhanced by the identification of potential northwest-trending structures, which are considered to be critical to gold mineralisation occurrences, and the proximity of the tenements to both small and large historical and current producing operations. The tenement package is centred on BIF units which are typical host lithologies to gold mineralisation in the district and which are directly along strike from the Gladiator workings.

Optiro notes that a significant strike length of the BIF remains untested by any exploration. Furthermore, all of the BIF has only been explored to average 31 m depth and only in the upper regolith profile which is estimated to extend between 40 m and 80 m below surface. Notably, gold mineralisation at the nearby Granny Smith mine is depleted in the top 20 m and related to intrusions and northwest shearing.

5. KIWIRRKURRA PROJECT

5.1. INTRODUCTION

The Kiwirrkurra project is located approximately 1,600 km northeast of Perth proximal to the Northern Territory border (Figure 5.1). Rincon holds one exploration licence which covers a total area of approximately 126 km² (Table 2.1). The total annual minimum expenditure commitment is currently A$40,000.

The project area is very remote with access to the site from Alice Springs, 700 km to the east. Access is via the unsealed Papunya-Kintore and Gary Junction roads. The licence is parallel to and immediately north of the Gary Junction Road, which provides primary access to the site, and access off this road is by 4WD only. Extensive longitudinal sand dunes make access around the project difficult.

5.2. GEOLOGY AND MINERALISATION

5.2.1. REGIONAL GEOLOGY

The Kiwirrkurra project area is located at the western extent of the Palaeoproterozoic Arunta Block which trends east-west across central Australia through the Northern Territory and into Western Australia.

The Arunta Block comprises deformed and metamorphosed igneous and sedimentary rocks. The northern province comprises metasedimentary and minor volcanic rocks that have generally undergone low-grade metamorphism. The province is extensively intruded by granitoids ranging in age from ~1,880 Ma to 1,570 Ma.

P a g e | 23

Independent Technical Assessment Report

The western Arunta Orogen is divided into the Aileron and Warumpi complexes. A major westnorthwest trending structure, the Central Australian Suture (CAS), defines the boundary between the Aileron and Warumpi complexes. This structure passes a few kilometres north of Mount Webb. A major alteration system associated with the Mount Webb Granite (Figure 5.2) has been documented and it is proposed that this system has potential for copper-gold mineralisation at Pokali.

Figure 5.1 Location and licence area of the Kiwirrkurra project (source: Rincon)

==> picture [439 x 350] intentionally omitted <==

5.2.2. PROJECT GEOLOGY

The geology of the Kiwirrkurra project area consists of metasedimentary rocks with possible metavolcanics of the Lander Rock Formation or the Heavitree Formation/Bitter Springs Group (Figure 5.2). The metasedimentary rocks are intruded by a granitoid which accounts for approximately 40% of the tenement area. The Pokali prospect occurs in the far west of the tenement, within metasedimentary rocks of the Lander Rock Formation.

The rocks at Pokali have been intensely altered and/or metamorphosed to the point where the precursor lithologies are indistinguishable but it is likely that they were mafic volcanic or sedimentary rocks. The geology of the project area is complex and more detailed mapping is required to understand the geology and potential mineralisation controls.

Pokali prospect
----- End of picture text -----

5.2.3. MINERALISATION

The Pokali prospect is considered by Rincon and other explorers to be an IOCG system. IOCG (or iron oxide copper-gold) deposits are characterised by:

  • copper (with or without gold) as the main economic metal

  • hydrothermal ore styles and strong structural controls

  • abundant magnetite and/or hematite

  • iron oxides with iron and titanium greater than those in most igneous rocks

  • no clear spatial associations with igneous intrusions as typically displayed by porphyry and skarn ore deposits.

In addition, most IOCG deposits display a broad space-time association with batholithic granitoids, occur in crustal settings with very extensive and commonly pervasive alkali metasomatism, and many are enriched in a distinctive, geochemically diverse suite of minor elements including various combinations of uranium, rare earth elements, fluorine, phosphorus, molybdenum, silver, barium, cobalt, nickel and arsenic.

The mineralisation at Pokali is associated with widespread and intense silicification and magnetite alteration and is generally copper with little gold present. The most dominant copper-bearing mineral is disseminated to blebby chalcopyrite, with minor amounts of malachite, bornite, and occasional native copper. Host rocks are a series of metamorphosed sedimentary and high-magnesium volcanic rocks with silica, magnetite and/or biotite overprints. Better copper grades are often associated with intervals of increased pervasive silica alteration and all occurrences of copper mineralisation are within rocks with an elevated magnetic susceptibility.

5.3. EXPLORATION

The Kiwirrkurra project area was explored by Aurora Gold Ltd (Aurora) during the late 1990s. Aurora’s project consisted of 15 exploration licences covering 2,812 km[2] which were granted in 1995. An agreement with the native title holders for land access was reached in mid-1997 and exploration commenced in the third quarter of 1997. Initial exploration consisted of mapping, rock chip sampling and some ground magnetics. The initial work outlined several anomalous copper-gold-silver areas returning up to 9.1% copper, 3 g/t silver and 0.38 g/t gold in rock chips over a true width of 4 m and 0.3% copper and 8 g/t silver in rock chips over a true width of 10 m at Pokali. Shallow vacuum and aircore drilling in 1998 over these anomalies confirmed the presence of mineralisation returning several anomalies on adjacent 800 m spaced grid lines with a peak of 0.21 g/t gold and 896 ppm copper.

Aurora reached an agreement to farm out their Mount Webb tenements to BHP Limited (BHP) in late 1998. BHP completed limited RC drilling during the second quarter of 1999. The drilling returned some encouraging results including 36 m at 0.42% copper (including 6 m at 1.68% copper and 0.29 ppm gold) at Pokali. BHP concluded that, although the copper-gold mineralisation system was present, the zones were poorly mineralised and it excluded the western tenements from the joint venture, with ongoing exploration being focused on the eastern tenements.

In March 2001, heavy rains and flooding in the project area caused the evacuation of the Kiwirrkurra community and stopped access to the area for several years, during which time the ground became vacant.

Bestgold Investments Pty Ltd applied for and were granted tenure over the project area in November 2005 and subsequently sold the rights to Ashburton Minerals Ltd (Ashburton). In 2007, the GSWA undertook an integrated study of the western Arunta, which included:

  • a regolith geochemistry sampling programme

  • a targeted field study of outcrop geology including whole-rock geochemistry and geochronology sampling

  • geophysical interpretation utilising gravity and aeromagnetic data.

The study indicated the presence of an IOCG-type alteration system within the project area.

In 2008, Ashburton completed heritage surveys to gain access to the project area and commenced field operations primarily focused on assessing the surface mineralisation at the Pokali prospect using geological mapping, rock chip sampling and RC drilling.

Results from this work indicated the presence of copper mineralisation at Pokali over a much larger area than previously recorded. The mineralising system was noted to also be anomalous in gold, silver, bismuth and palladium with significant assays being received for these elements. All holes drilled by Ashburton intersected a sequence of silica and magnetite altered volcanic rocks with elevated levels of copper mineralisation over significant intervals. The best intercept was PKC001 with 205 m at 0.1% copper ending in mineralisation. Visible sulphides of chalcopyrite and pyrite were observed in all drill holes, usually occurring as fine disseminations or as blebs and clots associated with quartz veinlets.

In 2009, Ashburton completed further heritage surveys and concentrated on the Pokali prospect targeting IOCG-style mineralisation. Work included geological review and interpretation, petrographic analysis, induced polarisation (IP) survey, airborne magnetic survey, detailed soil sampling and minor rock chip sampling, and RC and diamond drilling. The IP survey delineated several anomalous chargeable zones. Drilling targeted geochemical and IP anomalies at the Pokali prospect. Results were encouraging and further enhanced the prospectivity of the area with a best intercept of 46 m at 0.37% copper (PKC007) at the Gap in the northwest of the Pokali area.

In 2010, Ashburton focused exploration on the Pokali prospect, once again completing a heritage survey over the Pokali area for ground disturbing activities. No areas of heritage significance were identified. An airborne TEMPEST electromagnetic survey was flown over the Pokali prospect and immediate surrounds with the processed data mapping out structural features of the area. General prospecting and rock chip sampling were undertaken around a sulphidic quartz vein in granite with results being anomalous in copper (0.1% copper). A total of nine RC holes (PKC017 to PKC025) for 2,288 m were drilled to test geochemical and IP anomalies at Pokali. Results of the drilling were encouraging with new copper mineralisation being discovered under sand cover immediately east of the Pokali Hill. This mineralisation provided the peak copper intersection to date of 246 m at 0.22% copper from hole PKC024, including a best zone of 12 m at 1.1% copper.

Work undertaken on the Mount Webb project area during 2011 focused on progressing regional exploration including geological reviews, heritage surveys, detailed ground gravity (400 m by 400 m), prospecting and rock chip sampling, and aircore drilling.

Results from the regional drilling included two gold anomalies and one gold-platinum-palladium anomaly. Drill hole MWAC057 intersected 2 m at 0.7 g/t gold from 5 m to 7 m, and MWAC058 (located 1 km to the south of MWAC057) intersected 2 m at 0.14 g/t gold from 16 m to 18 m in transported clay. Drill hole MWAC010 intersected 1 m at 0.21 g/t gold, 0.11 g/t platinum and 0.45 g/t palladium from 2 m to 3 m in ironstone overlying saprolite (at the Pasquale and Pimento prospects).

Work completed in 2012 consisted of rock chip sampling RC drilling. Four rock chip samples of quartz and gossanous material were taken along an outcropping ridge southeast and along strike from previously identified copper mineralisation at the Gap. A further two samples of gossanous material containing quartz and malachite were taken from the eastern end of Pokali at the projected surface expression of copper mineralisation intersected in drill hole PKC023: 10 m at 0.95% copper.

A total of four RC holes for 1,123 m were drilled at the Pokali prospect in 2012. Holes PKC026 and PKC027 were drilled in the eastern area of Pokali and holes PKC028 and PKC029 were drilled in the Gap area. The best intersections were from drill hole PKC026 (22 m at 0.34% copper) and PKC027 (76 m at 0.27% copper). The two drill holes complete a cross section through the mineralisation and delineate a zone of approximately 200 m wide of 0.1% copper. Holes PKC028 and PKC029 drilled at the Gap area tested a gravity anomaly and the interpreted northwest strike extension of a mineralised quartz breccia ridge. Results were poor with no significant quartz veining intersected.

In December 2012, Ashburton announced that it had lost its main Pokali tenement due to an administrative error but had regained the base metal rights through a joint venture with Toro Energy Ltd (Toro) but under less favourable ownership. By the end of the 2013, Ashburton had withdrawn from the area and changed the focus of the company to a number of overseas projects.

In 2014, Toro relinquished the ground after its exploration for uranium failed to discover any significant anomalism. In 2015, the licence area was applied for by a private individual who compiled various historical datasets.

Much of the previous exploration within the project area focused on IOCG potential of the Pokali prospect at the western end of the tenement, while shallow gridded RAB/aircore drilling in the eastern extent of the project and around the margins targeted gold and uranium mineralisation. Only minor anomalism has been identified on the tenement outside of the Pokali prospect (Figure 5.3).

5.4. EXPLORATION POTENTIAL

The Kiwirrkurra project is a modestly explored but remote IOCG mineralisation system which crops out and is mineralised from surface. Historical drilling on the main Pokali prospect is relatively shallow compared to the apparent size of the system, with several drill holes finishing in elevated copper mineralisation (+0.1% copper grades). Exploration has been relatively sporadic and no exploration appears to have been completed since 2012.

P a g e | 28

Independent Technical Assessment Report

==> picture [77 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

Much of the previous exploration within the project area focused on IOCG potential of the Pokali prospect at the western end of the tenement. Only minor anomalism has been identified on the tenement outside of the Pokali prospect.

There are reasonable geophysical, geochemical and drilling data available and future exploration would benefit from a modern compilation and reprocessing of geophysical, geological, geochemical and drilling datasets.

The known IOCG-style mineralisation is outcropping with limited and anomalous geochemistry and drill intersections. Large historical datasets are present encompassing drilling, ASTER, geochemistry and geophysics (gravity, magnetics, TEMPEST EM), however, the project is relatively sparsely drilled compared to the geophysical and surface geochemical footprint. The drill holes are relatively short exploration holes, some with low to moderate copper mineralisation intersected for almost the full length of the drill holes. The drilling database also includes significant drill intersections often with mineralisation at the end of the drill hole. The anomalism in soil geochemistry data has an open strike extent of 4 km, and an across strike width of up to 1.25 km, demonstrating the significant size of the mineralised system.

6. WORK PROGRAMME

Rincon has developed an exploration budget for a minimum subscription of $5.0 M and a maximum subscription of $6.0 M which is summarised in Table 6.1 and Table 6.2 (including existing cash). The majority of the exploration budgets are allotted to drilling the various drill-ready targets within the three projects, most notably at the South Telfer Project (Hasties East, Hasties SE and Westin) together with supportive geophysical and geochemical surveys.

Optiro has reviewed the proposed two-year budget and it is considered appropriate and reasonable for the mineralisation styles within the projects and the stage of exploration. The proposed exploration budget for the minimum raising exceeds the minimum required expenditure commitment for the Project.

Exploration Target A statement or estimate of the exploration potential of a mineral deposit in a defined geological setting
where the statement or estimate, quoted as a range of tonnes and a range of grade (or quality), relates
to mineralisation for which there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource.
felsic Silicate minerals, magmas, and rocks which are enriched in the lighter elements such as silica, oxygen,
aluminium,sodium,andpotassium.
formation A defined interval of strata,often comprisingsimilar rock types.
geophysical survey A survey that measures the physical properties of rock formations, commonly magnetism, specific
gravity,electrical conductivityand radioactivity.
glacial till An unsorted glacial sediment. Glacial drift is a general term for the coarsely graded and extremely
heterogeneous sediments ofglacial origin

coarselyfoliated and largelyrecrystallised.
gossanous (rocks) Gossanous rocks are intensively oxidised and weathered and usually represent the upper and exposed
part of an ore deposit or mineral vein. They are enriched in iron containing iron oxides such as goethite
and limonite.
granite A coarsegrained intrusive felsic igneous rock.
granitoid A common and widelyoccurringtype of intrusive,felsic,igneous rock.
granulite facies High-grade metamorphic rocks that have experienced high-temperature and moderate-pressure
metamorphism.

Indicated Mineral Resource ‘An ‘Indicated Mineral Resource’ is that part of a Mineral Resource for which tonnage, densities, shape,
physical characteristics, grade and mineral content can be estimated with a reasonable level of
confidence. It is based on exploration, sampling and testing information gathered through appropriate
techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes. The locations are
too widely or inappropriately spaced to confirm geological and/or grade continuity but are spaced closely
enough for continuityto be assumed.’(JORC 2012)
Inferred Mineral Resource ‘An ‘Inferred Mineral Resource’ is that part of a Mineral Resource for which tonnage, grade and mineral
content can be estimated with a low level of confidence. It is inferred from geological evidence and
assumed but not verified geological and/or grade continuity. It is based on information gathered through
appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes which
maybe limited or of uncertainqualityand reliability.’(JORC 2012)

Term Explanation
intercept Mineralised intersection in a drill hole.
intrusive A rock formed when magma cools slowlybelow the Earth's surface.
iron oxide coppergold A class of deposit characterised bycopper andgold mineralisation in iron-rich,often acidic rocks.
JORC Code The JORC Code provides minimum standards for public reporting to ensure that investors and their
advisers have all the information they would reasonably require for forming a reliable opinion on the
results and estimates beingreported. The current version is dated 2012.
mafic Silicate minerals, magmas, and volcanic and intrusive igneous rocks that have relatively high
concentrations of the heavier and darker minerals.
malachite Copper carbonate mineral.
Measured Mineral Resource ‘A 'Measured Mineral Resource' is that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity, grade (or quality),
densities, shape, and physical characteristics are estimated with confidence sufficient to allow the
application of Modifying Factors to support detailed mine planning and final evaluation of the economic
viability of the deposit. Geological evidence is derived from detailed and reliable exploration, sampling
and testing gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits,
workings and drill holes, and is sufficient to confirm geological and grade (or quality) continuity between
points of observation where data and samples aregathered.’(JORC 2012)
metamorphism Alteration of the minerals, texture and composition of a rock caused by exposure to heat, pressure and
chemical actions.

Mineral Resource ‘A ‘Mineral Resource’ is a concentration or occurrence of material of intrinsic economic interest in or on
the Earth’s crust in such form, quality and quantity that there are reasonable prospects for eventual
economic extraction. The location, quantity, grade, geological characteristics and continuity of a Mineral
Resource are known, estimated or interpreted from specific geological evidence and knowledge. Mineral

SECTION 1 SAMPLING TECHNIQUES AND DATA

Drilling and sampling results reported in this report refer to results taken from exploration reports lodged by previous explorers over the prospects which are available on the West Australian Geological Survey WAMEX online database. Details refer to the specific WAMEX reports.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels,
random chips, or specific specialised industry
standard measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation, such as down-hole
gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc.).
These examples should not be taken as limiting the
broad meaning of sampling.

All drilling data is from historical drilling undertaken by Newcrest in the late 1990s and 2000s.

Sampling techniques vary between the different drilling campaigns and information has been taken from open file
reports.

Aircore, reverse circulation, rotary air blast and diamond drilling techniques were used.

Specific details are typically not reported, including measures taken to ensure sample representivity.

Sample intervals range from 1 to 3 m, with some 5 m composite samples assayed.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure
sample representivity and the appropriate
calibration of any measurement tools or systems
used.
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that
are Material to the Public Report. In cases where
‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be
relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling was
used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was
pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’).
In other cases more explanation may be required,
such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent
sampling problems. Unusual commodities or
mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules) may
warrant disclosure of detailed information.
Drilling techniques Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole
hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc.)
and details (e.g. core diameter, triple or standard
tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or
other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by
what method, etc.).

All drilling data is from historical drilling undertaken by Newcrest in the late 1990s and 2000s.

Sampling techniques vary between the different drilling campaigns and information has been taken from open file
reports.

Aircore, reverse circulation, rotary air blast and diamond drilling techniques were used. Details of the core diameter

Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.

Parallel Range Project, gold-copper mineralisation is hosted by laminated and banded carbonaceous pyritic dolomitic
siltstones and micritic dolomite. Intrusive dolerite units are also known to be associated with mineralisation within
the sequence. The host rocks are variably contorted and brecciated with intense albite alteration. High grade gold,
chalcopyrite, +/-arsenopyrite, +/- pyrite occur as veins which appear linear features and are spaced up to 50 m apart.
Based on recent Leapfrog modelling of past work undertaken by Criterion there appears to be ore shoots associated
with secondary structures cutting the veins that have a plunge and have not been adequately tested.

South Telfer Project. Two principal targets are being targeted. Stacked reefs associated with domal structure similar
to the Telfer Gold-Copper Mine. The second target is gold mineralisation associated with shear zones cross cutting
dolerite units intrudingthe sedimentarysequence.
Drillhole
Information

A summary of all information material to the
understanding of the exploration results
including a tabulation of the following
information for all Material drillholes:

easting and northing of the drillhole collar

elevation or RL (elevation above sea level in
metres) of the drillhole collar

dip and azimuth of the hole

down hole length and interception depth hole
length.

Information on past drilling is available in exploration reports mentioned in section 1 and the main report.

The document is only intended to provide a summary of past exploration activity and principal targets identified.
Data aggregation
methods

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

Results reported have been taken from the exploration reports on the work submitted to the Western Australian
Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety.

The South Telfer project is at an exploration stage of assessment and only significant results have been tabulated for
practical reasons. The location of these holes and the relationship to other holes (without significant) results are
shown in the various diagrams.

Some of the targets are preliminary in nature and results are reported at low detection levels.

No metal equivalent values have been reported.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept lengths

If the geometry of the mineralisation with
respect to the drillhole angle is known, its nature
should be reported.

If it is not known and only the down hole lengths
are reported, there should be a clear statement to
this effect (e.g. ‘down hole length, true width not
known’).

All intersections reported are down hole intervals. Most drilling has been planned to drill approximately
perpendicular to the regional structures but the project is at an exploration stage of assessment and detailed
understanding of the mineralisation is not available.

reporting of both low and high grades and/or
widths should be practiced to avoid misleading

The report has been prepared to highlight the main targets and positive drill results based on past exploration within
the project area. Not all exploration results are shown.
Other substantive

Other exploration data, if meaningful and
material, should be reported including (but not

Rincon has not completed any on ground exploration work on the tenement and is relying on exploration data
completed by previous tenement holders within the project area.

Exploration work to date has largely been of a preliminary or reconnaissance nature. The company is aware of regional
scale aeromagnetic surveys and geological mapping program undertaken by past explorers and has access to versions
of the data that is available in reports. Also surface soils and rock chip sampling programs have been undertaken over
many parts of the project area. That has not been fully compiled by the company as yet. No work on metallurgical
properties of potential gold mineralisation within the project area is known. High arsenic results associated with
elevated gold copper grades have been returned in drilling within the Parallel Range Area. At this stage this is not
believed to be a major issue as similar metal associations are known to occur in the Telfer orebody

Data aggregation
methods

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

Results reported have been taken from the exploration reports on the work submitted to the Western Australian
Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety.

The Laverton project is at an exploration stage of assessment and only significant results have been tabulated for
practical reasons. The location of these holes and the relationship to other holes (without significant) results are
shown in the various diagrams.

Some of the targets are preliminary in nature and results are reported at low detection levels.

No metal equivalent values have been reported.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept lengths

If the geometry of the mineralisation with
respect to the drillhole angle is known, its nature
should be reported.

If it is not known and only the down hole lengths
are reported, there should be a clear statement to
this effect (e.g. ‘down hole length, true width not
known’).

All intersections reported are down hole intervals. Most drilling has been planned to drill approximately
perpendicular to the regional structures but the project is at an exploration stage of assessment and detailed
understanding of the mineralisation is not available.
Diagrams
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.

Diagrams are supplied in the main report.
Balanced reporting
Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration
Results
is
not
practicable,

SECTION 1 SAMPLING TECHNIQUES AND DATA

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels,
random chips, or specific specialised industry
standard measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation, such as down-hole
gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc.).
These examples should not be taken as limiting the
broad meaning of sampling.

Historical exploration programs have consisted of aircore (AC), mud rotary, rotary air blast (RAB) geochemistry,
reverse circulation (RC) drilling and diamond core drilling.

The most recent exploration by Ashburton Minerals (2008 to 2012) involved RC and diamond drilling. RC samples
were collected as 2 m composites through a rig-mounted cyclone splitter. Wet samples were sampled by the spear
method. Samples were freighted to Quantum Analytical Services (Quantum) in Perth for assay by aqua regia digest
and ICP-MS finish for a suite of 18 elements.

No details of the sample preparation are included.

Ashburton Minerals collected several batches of rock chip samples including one batch of 122 selective outcrop rock
chip samples from the Pokali prospect which were submitted to Quantum in Welshpool, Perth, for analysis of a suite
of 51 elements using an aqua regia digest and ICP-MS finish.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure
sample representivity and the appropriate
calibration of any measurement tools or systems
used.
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that
are Material to the Public Report. In cases where
‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be
relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling was
used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was
pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’).
In other cases more explanation may be required,
such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent
sampling problems. Unusual commodities or
mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules) may
warrant disclosure of detailed information.
Drilling techniques Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole
hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc.)
and details (e.g. core diameter, triple or standard
tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or
other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by
what method, etc.).

Historical drilling documented by various explorers includes RAB, AC, vacuum, RC and diamond drilling. Limited
information on the details of drilling methods completed (bit size etc) are not recorded.
Drill sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and chip
sample recoveries and results assessed.

Recovery details for the historical drilling is unknown.

Information regarding sample recovery and bias in unknown. It is recommended to obtain any residual drill core and
reviewing historical drill logs for further information regarding the core condition and RC recoveries/wet samples and
possible impacts on analysis.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and
ensure representative nature of the samples.

The Kiwirrkurra Project is situated within the Proterozoic Arunta Province cantered on the Central Australian Suture.
Pokali is considered by Ashburton Minerals and other explorers to be an IOCG (iron oxide copper-gold) system.
Mineralisation is associated with widespread and intense silicification and magnetite alteration. The system sits at the
copper end of the spectrum with little gold present, although gold clearly shows a direct association with copper. By
far the most dominant copper-bearing mineral is disseminated to blebby chalcopyrite, with minor amounts of
malachite, bornite, and occasional native copper.

Host rocks are a series of metamorphosed sediments and high-Mg volcanics present as a variety of schistose rocks
with silica, magnetite and/or biotite overprints. Better copper grades are often associated with intervals of increased
pervasive silica alteration. All occurrences of copper mineralisation are within rocks with an elevated magnetic

See tabulation of historical drillholes (Appendix E).

All drillhole data available from WAMEX reports has been tabulated and is appropriate for the level of exploration.

The large size of the downhole survey file precludes including this data in this document.

The large volume of assay data precludes the inclusion of this in this document. It is considered that the compilation

Rincon Resources Limited c/- SmallCap Corporate Pty Ltd Suite 1, 295 Rokeby Road SUBIACO WA 6008

Dear Sirs

SOLICITOR’S REPORT ON TENEMENTS

This Report is prepared for inclusion in a prospectus for the initial public offer of 25,000,000 shares in the capital of Rincon Resources Limited (ACN 628 003 538) ( Company ) at an issue price of $0.20 cents per share to raise $5,000,000 ( Prospectus ). Oversubscriptions of up to an additional 5,000,000 to raise up to an additional $1,000,000 may be accepted.

1. SCOPE

We have been requested to report on the mining tenements in which the Company has an interest (the Tenements ).

The Tenements are located in Western Australia. Details of the Tenements are set out in Annexure I to this Report.

This Report is limited to the Searches (as defined below) set out in Section Error! Reference source not found. of this Report.

2. SEARCHES

For the purposes of this Report, we have conducted searches and made enquiries in respect of the Tenements as follows ( Searches ):

  • (a) we have obtained 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 14 October 2020. Key details on the status of the Tenements are set out in Annexure I to 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

Rincon Resources Limited 3 November 2020

Page 2

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 14 October 2020. Details of any native title claims (registered or unregistered), native title determinations and ILUAs are set out in Section 5 of this Report and Annexure II to this Report;

  • (c) we have obtained searches from the online Aboriginal Heritage Enquiry System maintained by the Department of Indigenous Affairs ( DIA ) for any Aboriginal sites registered on the Western Australian Register of Aboriginal sites over the Tenements ( Heritage Searches ). These searches were conducted on 14 October 2020. Details of any Aboriginal Sites are set out in Annexure II to this Report;

  • (d) we have obtained 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 14 October 2020. Details of any material issues identified from the Tengraph Searches are set out in the notes to Part 1 of this Report; and

  • (e) we have reviewed all material agreements relating to the Tenements provided to us.

2. 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) Company’s interest

The Company’s interest in the Tenements:

  • (i) South Telfer Project: the eight Tenements that comprise the South Telfer Project are all 100% owned by South Telfer Mining Pty Ltd ( STM ), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, meaning the Company has an unencumbered 100% interest in these Tenements;

  • (ii) Laverton Project: the two Tenements that comprise the Laverton Project are both 100% owned by Holdings Tenements Pty Ltd ( HTPL ). HTPL is a private company which is 100% held by Mr Garry Goyne. Pursuant to the Laverton Acquisition Agreement, the Company has the right to acquire 100% of the issued capital of HTPL, and therefore a 100% legal and beneficial interest in these two Tenements; and

  • (iii) Kiwirrkurra Project: the Tenement that comprises the Kiwirrkurra Project is 100% owned by Lyza Mining Pty Ltd ( Lyza ). Lyza is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and therefore the Company has an unencumbered 100% interest in these Tenements.

  • (b) Good standing

The validity and good standing of the Tenements: all tenements are in good standing and validly granted. No deficiencies in rent or expenditure have been noted.

Rincon Resources Limited 3 November 2020

Page 3

(c) Third party interests

No significant third-party interests, including encumbrances, in relation to the Tenements have been noted other than native title as set out in this Report.

Many third-party interests are not apparent from the DMIRS Searches and may not have been provided to us (e.g. farm in agreements). This Report is therefore limited in scope and does not purport to identify all third-party interests in the Tenements (refer to the assumption in section 8(c)).

3. DESCRIPTION OF THE TENEMENTS

The Tenements comprise two (2) Prospecting licences and nine (9) exploration licenses granted under the Mining Act 1978 (WA) ( Mining Act ). Annexure I to the Report provides a list of the Tenements. Sections 3.1 and 3.2 below 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.

3.1 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.

(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 for Mines and Petroleum ( Minister ) may extend the term by 4 years. A holder is however able to apply for retention status for the prospecting licence, and if granted (as discussed below), enables the prospecting licence to be extended in further 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

Rincon Resources Limited 3 November 2020

Page 4

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 Annexure I to 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.

3.2 Exploration Licence

(a) Rights

The holder of an exploration licence is entitled to enter the land for the purposes of exploration for minerals with employees and contractors and such vehicles, machinery and equipment as may be necessary or expedient.

(b) Term

An exploration licence has a term of 5 years from the date of grant. The Minister may extend the term by a further period of 5 years followed by a further period or periods of 2 years.

(c) Retention status

The holder of an exploration licence granted after 10 February 2006 may apply for approval of retention status for the exploration licence. The Minister may approve the application where there is an identified mineral resource in or under the land the subject of the exploration 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 programme of works or require the holder to apply for a mining lease.

(d) Conditions

Exploration licences are granted subject to various standard conditions, including conditions relating to minimum expenditure, the payment of

Rincon Resources Limited 3 November 2020

Page 5

prescribed rent and royalties and observance of environmental protection and reporting requirements. These standard conditions are not detailed in Annexure I to this Report. A failure to comply with these conditions or obtain an exemption from compliance may lead to forfeiture of the exploration licence.

(e) Relinquishment

The holder of an exploration licence applied for and granted after 10 February 2006 must relinquish not less than 40% of the blocks comprising the licence at the end of the fifth year. A failure to lodge the required partial surrender could render the tenement liable for forfeiture.

(f) Priority to apply for mining lease

The holder of an exploration licence has priority to apply for a mining lease over any of the land subject to the exploration licence. Any application for a mining lease must be made prior to the expiry of the exploration licence. The exploration licence remains in force until the application for the mining lease is determined.

(g) Transfer

No legal or equitable interest in an exploration licence can be transferred or otherwise dealt with during the first year of its term without the prior written consent of the Minister. Thereafter, there is no restriction on transfer or other dealings.

4. ABORIGINAL HERITAGE

There are areas or objects of Aboriginal heritage located on the Tenements which were identified from the Heritage Searches (as noted in Annexure II to this Report). Aboriginal sites were identified from the Heritage Searches (as noted in Annexure II to this Report).

Under Aboriginal heritage agreements parties holding an interest in a tenement (whether title or mineral rights only) may dispose of any or all of its rights with respect to their interest in the tenement, but must first procure an executed deed of assumption in favour of the relevant native title group by which the assignee (purchaser) agrees to be bound by the provisions of the heritage agreement and to assume, observe and perform the obligations of the assignor (vendor) under the heritage agreement insofar as they relate to the interest being acquired by the assignee (purchaser). In the case of the Company such an assumption would be restricted to the obligations relating to the mineral rights (excluding iron ore) on the Tenements.

As heritage agreements relate to the process of ‘clearing’ areas of land on tenements in order to conduct exploration activities it is possible a purchaser may rely on surveys previously completed by a vendor where it wishes to conduct activities on areas within tenements previously cleared of heritage sites without the requirements to repeat the process and incur additional costs.

Rincon Resources Limited 3 November 2020

4.1 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.

4.2 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, DIA or the Aboriginal Cultural Material Committee).

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.

5. NATIVE TITLE

5.1 Introduction

This section of the Report examines the effect of native title on the Tenements.

The existence of native title rights held by indigenous Australians was first recognised in Australia in 1992 by the High Court in the case Mabo v. Queensland (no.2) (1992) 175 CLR 1 ( Mabo no.2 ).

The High Court in Mabo no. 2 held that certain land tenure existing as at the date of that case, including mining tenements, where granted or renewed without due regard to native title rights, were invalid. The High Court concluded that:

  • (a) native title has been wholly extinguished in respect of land the subject of freehold, public works or other previous “exclusive possession” acts; and

  • (b) native title has been partially extinguished as a result of the grant of “nonexclusive possession” pastoral leases and mining leases, and also as a result of the creation of certain reserves.

As a result of Mabo no. 2, the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) ( NTA ) was passed to:

  • (a) provide a process for indigenous people to lodge claims for native title rights over land, for those claims to be registered by the NNTT and for the Courts to assess native title claims and determine if native title rights exist. Where a Court completes the assessment of a native title claim, it will issue a native title determination that specifies whether or not native title rights exist;

  • (b) provide (together with associated State legislation) that any land tenures granted or renewed before 1 January 1994 were valid despite Mabo no. 2 ( Past Acts ). This retrospective validation of land tenure was subsequently extended by the NTA to include freehold and certain leasehold (including pastoral leases) granted or renewed before 23 December 1996 ( Intermediate Period Acts ). Broadly speaking, this means that native title is not extinguished, merely suspended, for the duration of the mining tenement; and

  • (c) provide that an act that may affect native title rights (such as the grant or renewal of a mining tenement) carried out after 23 December 1996 (a Future Act ) must comply with certain requirements for the Future Act to be valid under the NTA. These requirements are called the Future Act Provisions .

5.2 Future Act Provisions

The Future Act Provisions vary depending on the Future Act to be carried out. In the case of the grant of a mining tenement, typically there are four alternatives: the Right to Negotiate, an ILUA, the Infrastructure Process (defined below) and the Expedited Procedure. These are summarised below.

Right to Negotiate

The Right to Negotiate involves a formal negotiation between the State, the applicant for the tenement and any registered native title claimants and holders of native title rights. The aim is to agree the terms on which the tenement can be granted. The applicant for the tenement is usually liable for any compensation that the parties agree to pay to the registered native title claimants and holders of native title. The parties may also agree on conditions that will apply to activities carried out on the tenement (eg in relation to heritage surveys). The classes of conditions typically included in a mining agreement are set out at section 5.3 below.

If agreement is not reached to enable the tenement to be granted, the matter may be referred to arbitration before the NNTT, which has six (6) months to decide whether the State, the applicant for the tenement and any registered native title claimants and holders of native title rights have negotiated in good faith (only if the issue is raised by one of the parties) and then whether the tenement can be granted and if so, on what conditions. The earliest an application for arbitration can be made to the NNTT is six (6) months after the date of notification of commencement of negotiations by the DMIRS.

If the Right to Negotiate procedure is not observed, the grant of the mining tenement will be invalid to the extent (if any) that it affects native title.

ILUAs

An ILUA is a contractual arrangement governed by the NTA. Under the NTA, an ILUA must be 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.

Rincon Resources Limited 3 November 2020

Page 8

An ILUA must set out the terms on which a tenement can be granted. An ILUA will also specify conditions on which activities may be carried out within the tenement. The applicant for a tenement is usually liable for any compensation that the parties agree to pay to the registered native title claimants and holders of native title 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.

Infrastructure Process

The NTA establishes a simplified process for the carrying out of a Future Act that is the creation of a right to mine for the sole purpose of the construction of an infrastructure facility ( Infrastructure Process ). The NTA defines infrastructure facility to include a range of transportation, marine, aeronautical, electrical, oil, gas, mineral and communication facilities. In Western Australia, DMIRS applies the Infrastructure Process to two classes of mining tenements:

  • (a) miscellaneous licences for most purposes under the Mining Regulations 1981 (WA) that but, notably, not for a minesite administration facility or a minesite accommodation facility (both of which are dealt with under the Right to Negotiate) or for a search for groundwater (which is dealt with under the Expedited Procedure); and

  • (b) most general purpose leases.

The State commences the Infrastructure Process by giving notice of the proposed grant of the tenement to any registered native title claimants or native title holders in relation to the land to be subject to the tenement. Those registered native title claimants or holders have two (2) months after the notification date to object in relation to the effect of the grant of the tenement on any registered or determined native title rights. Any objection is lodged with DMIRS.

If a registered native title claimant or holder objects, the applicant for the tenement must consult with that claimant or holder about:

  • (a) ways of minimising the effect of the grant of the tenement on any registered or determined native title rights;

  • (b) if relevant, any access to the land; and

  • (c) the way in which anything authorised by the tenement may be done.

If the registered native title claimant or holder does not subsequently withdraw their objection, the State is required to ensure that the objection is heard by an independent person (in Western Australia, this is the Chief Magistrate). The independent person must determine whether or not the registered native title claimant or holder’s objection should be upheld or other conditions should be imposed on the tenement.

Rincon Resources Limited 3 November 2020

Expedited Procedure

The NTA establishes a simplified process for the carrying out of a Future Act that is unlikely to adversely affect native title rights ( Expedited Procedure ). The grant of a tenement can occur under the Expedited Procedure if:

  • (a) the grant will not interfere directly with the carrying on of the community or social activities of the persons who are the holders of native title in relation to the land;

  • (b) the grant is not likely to interfere with areas or sites of particular significance, in accordance with their traditions, to the persons who are holders of native title in relation to the land; and

  • (c) the grant is not likely to involve major disturbance to any land or waters concerned or create rights whose exercise is likely to involve major disturbance to any land.

If the State considers the above criteria are satisfied, it commences the Expedited Procedure by giving notice of the proposed grant of the tenement in accordance with the NTA. Persons have until three (3) months after the notification date to take steps to become a registered native title claimant or native title holder in relation to the land to be subject to the tenement.

If there is no objection lodged by a registered native title claimant or a native title holder within four (4) months of the notification date, the State may grant the tenement.

If one or more registered native title claimants or native title holders object within that four (4) month notice period, the NNTT must determine whether the grant is an act attracting the Expedited Procedure. If the NNTT determines that the Expedited Procedure applies, the State may grant the tenement. Otherwise, the Future Act Provisions (e.g. Right to Negotiate or ILUA) must be followed before the tenement can be granted.

The State of Western Australia currently follows a policy of granting mining leases, prospecting licences and exploration licences under the Expedited Procedure where the applicant has entered into a standard Aboriginal heritage agreement with the relevant registered native title claimants and native title holders. The standard Aboriginal heritage agreement 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.

Exception to requirement to comply with Future Act Provisions

The grant of a tenement does not need to comply with the Future Act Provisions if in fact native title has never existed over the land covered by the tenement, or has been validly extinguished prior to the grant of the tenement. We have not undertaken the extensive research needed to determine if in fact native title does not exist, or has been validly extinguished in relation to the Tenements.

Unless it is clear that native title does not exist (e.g. in relation to freehold land), the usual practice of the State is to comply with the Future Act Provisions when granting a tenement. This ensures the grant will be valid in the event a court determines that native title rights do exist over the land subject to the tenement.

Rincon Resources Limited 3 November 2020

Page 10

Where a tenement has been retrospectively validated or validly granted under the NTA, the rights under the tenement prevail over any inconsistent native title rights.

Application to the Tenements

The following sections of the Report identify:

  • (a) any native title claims (registered or unregistered), native title determinations and ILUAs in relation to the Tenements: Section 5.3;

  • (b) any Tenements which have been retrospectively validated under the NTA as being granted before 23 December 1996: Section 5.5);

  • (c) any Tenements which have been granted after 23 December 1996 and as such will need to have been granted following compliance with the Future Act Provisions to be valid under the NTA. This Report assumes that the Future Act Provisions have been complied with in relation to these Tenements: Section 5.5; and

  • (d) any Tenements which are yet to be granted and as such may need to be granted in compliance with the Future Act Provisions in order to be valid under the NTA: Section 5.5.

5.3 Native title claims, native title determinations and ILUAs

Our searches indicate that all of the Tenements are within the external boundaries of the native title determinations and claims specified in Annexure II to this Report. All of these claims are registered.

Our searches also returned results for ILUAs in relation to the Tenements owned by STM, as set out in Annexure II to this Report.

Registered native title claimants (and holders of native title under the determinations) are entitled to certain rights under the Future Act Provisions in respect of land in which native title may continue to subsist.

Freehold land

Our searches did not indicate that any of the Tenements are overlapped by freehold land.

Non-freehold land

Native title may continue to subsist in certain parcels of non-freehold land or 'Crown land', including pastoral leases, vacant/unallocated Crown land and certain Crown reserves that were not vested prior to 23 December 1996 and which have not been subsequently developed as public works.

Land access agreements

The Company has entered into two ‘Land Access & Mineral Exploration Agreements’ with the Western Desert Lands Aboriginal Corporation (Jamukurnu-Yapalikunu) in relation to all of the Company’s South Telfer Tenements (comprising E45/5359, E45/5363, E45/5364, E45/4568, E45/5501, P45/2983, E45/4336 and P45/2929).

Rincon Resources Limited 3 November 2020

Page 11

These agreements set out the terms and conditions appliable to the Company’s grant of, access to and utilisation of these Tenements, and their obligations in relation to the native title held and owned by the Martu People.

One of the main conditions imposed by these agreements is the requirement for all of the Company’s personnel to hold an access permit prior to entering onto these Tenements.

A mining access permit is required for any mining activity and also covers travelling through such Aboriginal reserves to access mining tenements outside the reserve for the purpose of mining activities.

The land access agreements contain customary provisions relating to compensation and clearance fees. These are confidential, and have not been set out in fell in this Report. These payments are not considered unduly onerous or material in the context of the Company’s operations as a whole.

Native title mining agreement

A typical native title mining agreement would impose obligations on the Company in relation to the matters set out below.

(a) Compensation

The Company would be required to make a number of milestone payments prior to commencement of production (e.g. at signing of the agreement and at decision to mine). The Company would be required to make a payment based on mineral production, which would be likely to be calculated as a percentage of the 'Royalty Value' of the mineral, as defined by the Mining Regulations 1981 (WA). It is currently typical for these payments to be 0.5% of the 'Royalty Value' although they vary by commodity and project. Over the past several years they have ranged between 0.25% and 1%+ of the 'Royalty Value'.

(b) Aboriginal heritage

The Company would be required to give notice prior to any ground-disturbing activities and to conduct an Aboriginal heritage survey through the relevant registered native title claimants prior to doing so. The Company's right to apply to disturb Aboriginal sites under the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 (WA) would be subject to, as a minimum, an obligation to consult with the registered native title claimants prior to doing so.

(c) Access

The Company would be required to avoid unreasonably restricting the registered native title claimants' rights of access to the relevant areas.

(d) Environment

The Company would be required to provide copies of all of its environmental approvals to the registered native title claimants. The Company may be required to consider funding the participation of the registered native title claimants in its environmental survey and monitoring processes.

Rincon Resources Limited 3 November 2020

Page 12

(e) Training, employment and contracting

The Company would be required to provide certain training, employment and contracting benefits to the registered native title claimants, which may include measures such as funding for Aboriginal scholarships or traineeships, implementation of an Aboriginal training and employment policy and business development assistance for Aboriginal contractors or entities that work with Aboriginal contractors (eg in joint venture arrangements).

(f) Cross-cultural awareness

The Company would be required to ensure that all of its employees and contractors participate in cross-cultural awareness training, which would be likely to be coordinated by the registered native title claimants.

(g) Social impact

The Company may be asked to fund a study into the social impact of its operations, including the social impact on the registered native title claimants.

The status of any native title claims, native title determinations and ILUAs is summarised in Annexure II to this Report.

Native title claimants, holders of native title under the determinations and native title

parties under ILUAs are entitled to certain rights under the Future Act Provisions.

5.5 Validity of Tenements under the NTA – native title regime

The sections below examine the validity of the Tenements under the NTA.

Tenements granted before 1 January 1994 (Past Acts and Intermediate Acts)

Our Searches indicate that none of the Tenements were granted before 23 December 1996.

Tenements granted after 23 December 1996

Our Searches indicate that all the Tenements were granted after 23 December 1996.

We have assumed that these Tenements were granted in accordance with the Future Act Provisions and as such are valid under the NTA.

Tenements renewed after 23 December 1996

Our Searches indicate that none of the Tenements were granted prior to 23 December 1996 and have been renewed after that date.

Renewals of the Tenements will need to comply with the Future Act Provisions in order to be valid under the NTA. The registered native title claimants and holders of native title identified in Section 5.3 of this Report will need to be involved as appropriate under the Future Act Provisions.

6. CROWN LAND AND RESERVES

6.1 Crown Land

As set out in Annexure I to this Report, some of the land the subject of the Tenements overlaps Crown land as set out below.

  • all of the South Telfer Tenements are 100% overlapped by unallocated Crown land: P45/2983, E45/4336, E45/4568, P45/2929, E45/5359, E45/5363, E45/5364 and E45/5501; and

  • 1.2% of the area of E38/2908 (one of the Tenements comprising the Company’s Laverton Project) is overlapped by unallocated Crown land. The remainder of the area of that Tenement is the subject of Crown reserves or a pastoral lease.

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

Rincon Resources Limited 3 November 2020

Page 14

  • (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 6.1(a), including:

  • (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 6.1(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 6.1(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 6.1(a).

The warden may not give the order referred to in section 6.1(a) that dispenses with the occupier’s consent in respect of Crown land covered by section 6.1(a)(iii). In respect of other areas of Crown land covered by the prohibition in section 6.1(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.

Rincon Resources Limited 3 November 2020

6.2 Crown Reserves

Land the subject of the Tenements overlaps Crown reserves as set out in the table below.

Tenement Crown reserve Class % overlap
E38/2908 R 6883: “C” Class Reserve Common C <0.01%
R 6885: “C” Class Reserve Common C 4.93%
R 8050: “C” Class Reserve Common C 15.61%
E38/3356 R 7978: "C" Class Reserve Water Act 57 Vic No 20 C 2.76%
R 8050: “C” Class Reserve Common C 14.55%
R 6885: “C” Class Reserve Common C 4.93%
E80/5241 R 24923: "A" Class Reserve Use and Benefit of
Aboriginal Inhabitants
A 100%

Under section 41 of the Land Administration Act 1997 (WA) ( LAA ) the Minister may set aside Crown lands by Ministerial Order in the public interest. Every such reservation has its description and designated purpose registered on a Crown Land Title ( CLT ) and is depicted on an authenticated map held by Landgate.

The Land Act 1933 (WA) provided for State reserves to be classified as Class A, B or C. There is no provision in the LAA to create new Class B reserves and there is no longer reference to Class C reserves.

Upon the Land Act 1933 (WA) being repealed, all Class C reserves became reserved land under the LAA. Schedule 3 of the Land Administration Amendment Act 2000 (WA), at section 3(5), provides that any land which was classified as a Class C reserve, upon the day the LAA came into operation, is to be treated as a reserve within the meaning of the LAA. Tenement holders are limited as to what activities may be undertaken on reserved land, requiring the written consent of the Minister for Mines and Petroleum.

Class A affords the greatest degree of protection for reserved lands, requiring approval of Parliament to amend the reserve’s purpose or area, or to cancel the reservation. The A classification is used solely to protect areas of high conservation or high community value. Class B reserves continue but are no longer created under the LAA. The Minister for Lands may deal with Class B reserved lands as normal reserves, provided that, should the reservation be cancelled, a special report is made to both Houses of Parliament within 14 days from the cancellation or within 14 days after the commencement of the next session.

Once created, a reserve is usually placed under the care, control and management of a State government department, local government or incorporated community group by way of a Management Order registered against the relevant CLT. A Management Order under the LAA does not convey ownership of the land – only as much control as is essential for the land’s management.

As set out in the table in section 6.2 above, the Company’s Kiwirrkurra Project (E80/5241) is wholly covered by a Class ‘A’ reserve for the Use and Benefit of

Rincon Resources Limited 3 November 2020

Page 16

Aboriginal Inhabitants. Accordingly, in order to conduct its proposed exploration activities on this Tenement, the Company will be required to enter into a Mineral Exploration And Land Access Deed of Agreement with the Tjamu Tjamu (Aboriginal Corporation) RNTBC (ICN: 4148).

The relevant Tenement conditions also require the prior written consent from the Minister responsible for the Mining Act prior to commending any activities on the areas the subject of:

  • (a) the Class ‘A’ reserve referred to above (which overlaps 100% of E80/5241); and

  • (b) Class ‘C’ reserve R 7978, which overlaps a small part of E38/3356.

7. PASTORAL LEASES

As set out in Annexure I to this Report, the Company’s Laverton Tenements (E38/2908 and E38/3356) overlap with Pastoral Lease (C) Mt Weld (PL N049826).

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;

  • (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.

The Company has confirmed that to the best of its knowledge it is not aware of any improvements and other features on the land the subject of the pastoral 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 relevant Tenements incorporate the standard conditions (refer to Annexure I below).

Rincon Resources Limited 3 November 2020

Page 17

8. ENCROACHMENTS

Where a tenement 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. The Tenements are encroached upon by other tenements as set out in the table below.

Tenement Lodgment Status Encroached %
E38/2908 L 38/92 Live 249.2284HA, 7.49%
L 38/177 Live 249.2283HA, 7.49%
L 38/179 Live 95.5269HA, 2.87%
L 38/260 Live 94.5719HA, 2.84%
L 38/334 Pending 142.2879HA, 4.27%

Our searches did not reveal any third-party access agreements in place in relation to the above-mentioned encroachments. Our searches also did not reveal any objections to the grant of E38/2908 registered against that Tenement.

We note that access agreements may potentially be required for the Company to conduct exploration and/or mining activities to the extent that those activities are to be conducted on the encroached portions of E38/2908. As at the date of this Report, we are not aware of any such requirement. The relevant Tenement includes a condition preserving rights and ingress to and egress from the miscellaneous licences, and a prohibition on the Tenement holder interfering with the installations on the miscellaneous licences.

9. ROYALTIES

We have been instructed there are no royalty deeds or agreements in existence which affect the Tenements.

10. QUALIFICATIONS AND ASSUMPTIONS

This Report is subject to the following qualifications and assumptions:

  • (c) 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;

  • (d) we assume that the registered holder of a Tenement has valid legal title to the Tenement;

  • (e) this Report does not cover any third-party interests, including encumbrances, in relation to the Tenements that are not apparent from our Searches and the information provided to us;

  • (f) we have assumed that any agreements provided to us in relation to the Tenements are authentic, were within the powers and capacity of those who executed them, were duly authorised, executed and delivered and are binding on the parties to them;

  • (n) native title may exist in the areas covered by the Tenements. Whilst we have conducted Searches to ascertain that native title claims and determinations, if any, have been lodged in the Federal Court in relation to the areas covered by the Tenements, we have not conducted any research on the likely existence or non-existence of native title rights and interests in respect of those areas. Further, the NTA contains no sunset provisions and it is possible that native title claims could be made in the future; and

  • (o) Aboriginal heritage sites or objects (as defined in the WA Heritage Act or under the Commonwealth Heritage Act) may exist in the areas covered by the Tenements regardless of whether or not that site has been entered on the Register of Aboriginal Sites established by the WA Heritage Act or is the subject of a declaration under the Commonwealth Heritage Act other than the Heritage Searches. We have not conducted any legal, historical, anthropological or ethnographic research regarding the existence or likely existence of any such Aboriginal heritage sites or objects within the area of the Tenements.

TENGRAPH INTERESTS

Land Type Description
1. Pastoral Leases 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.
Pastoral Lease (C) Mt Weld (PL N049826) overlaps the following Tenements:

E38/2908 (77.77%, encroached area of 2,589.3957HA); and

E38/3356 (82.69%, encroached area of 606.1395HA).
2. 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.
The following Aboriginal Heritage Survey Areas have been identified on the Tenements.

Rincon Resources Limited 3 November 2020

Page 27

Land Type Description
Tenement E80/5241 overlaps the following crown reserve:
R 24923: "A" Class Reserve Use and Benefit of Aboriginal Inhabitants (12609.0611HA, 100%).
4. Unallocated
Crown Land
Under Section 41 of the_Land Administration Act 1997_(WA) (LA Act) the Minister may set aside Crown lands by Ministerial Order
in the public interest.
Every such reservation has its description and designated purpose registered on a Crown Land Title (CLT) and is depicted on an
authenticated map held by Landgate.
Reservation action is normally initiated by the Department for Planning and Infrastructure following community or Government
request, land planning decisions, or as a result of the subdivision of land.
The Land Act 1933 (WA) provided for State reserves to be classified as Class A, B or C. There is no provision in the LA Act to
create new Class B reserves and there is no longer reference to Class C reserves. Class A affords the greatest degree of
protection for reserved lands, requiring approval of Parliament to amend the reserve’s purpose or area, or to cancel the
reservation. The A classification is used solely to protect areas of high conservation or high community value. Class B reserves
continue, but are no longer created under the LA Act. The Minister for Lands may deal with Class B reserved lands as normal
reserves, provided that, should the reservation be cancelled, a special report is made to both Houses of Parliament within 14
days from the cancellation or within 14 days after the commencement of the next session.
Once created, a reserve is usually placed under the care, control and management of a State government department, local
government or incorporated community group by way of a Management Order registered against the relevant CLT. A
Management Order under the LA Act does not convey ownership of the land – only as much control as is essential for the
land’s management.
Unallocated Crown Land – ‘Cadastral’ overlaps with 100% of the following Tenements:
P45/2983, E45/4336, E45/4568, P45/2929, E45/5359, E45/5363, E45/5364 and E45/5501.
Unallocated Crown Land – ‘Cadastral’ overlaps with 1.2% of Tenement E38/2908.
5. Road Reserve Tenement E38/ 2908 overlaps with Old Laverton Road.
6. Groundwater
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.
There are 45 proclaimed groundwater areas in Western Australia where licences are required to construct or alter a well and to
take groundwater. The Department of Water is responsible for managing proclaimed areas under the Act.
Ground Water Area ‘GWA 10 - Canning-Kimberley’ was identified on all of the Company’s Tenements, and encroaches upon
100% of each Tenement.

7. Mineralisation
Zone (Non-
Section 57 (2AA)).

Area in which applications of Exploration Licences are restricted to a maximum of 70 blocks (required by s57(1) Mining Act).
Section 57(2AA) Mining Act states that if the area of land is in an area of the state designated under s57A(1) it shall not be more
than 200 blocks.
Mineralisation Zone 2, Non-Section 57 (2AA), Southern Section was identified on E38/2908 (3329.5154HA, 100%) and on E38/3356
733.0276HA, 100%.

E38/3356(14.55%, encroached area of 106.6513HA).
9. Petroleum /
Geothermal titles
Tenement E38/2908 overlaps Petroleum Licence PL 114 (PPA69 Pipeline Licence) (94.5877HA, 2.84%)
10. File Notation Area
(Proposed
Renewal of Lease
and Change of
Purpose)
File Notation Areas are an indication of areas where Government has proposed some change of land tenure that is being
considered or endorsed by DMP for possible implementation and/or areas of some sensitivity to activities by the mineral
resource industry that warrants the application of specific tenement conditions.
File Notation Area ‘FNA 14543’ was identified on E38/2908 (21033.8734HA, 100%) and on E38/3356 (106.6513HA, 14.55%).

Dear Directors

INVESTIGATING ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT

Independent Limited Assurance Report (“Report”) on Rincon Resources Limited Historical and Pro Forma Historical Financial Information

Introduction

We have been engaged by Rincon Resources Limited (“Rincon” or the “Company”) to report on the historical and pro forma financial information of the Company for the 11 months ended 30 June 2019 and the year ended 30 June 2020 for inclusion in a prospectus (“Prospectus”) of Rincon to be dated on or about 3 November 2020.

The Prospectus is in connection with Rincon’s initial public offering and listing on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”), pursuant to which the Company is offering between 25,000,000 and 30,000,000 ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.20 per share to raise between $5 million and $6 million before costs (“Offer”).

Expressions and terms defined in the Prospectus have the same meaning in this Report.

The future prospects of the Company, other than the preparation of Pro Forma Historical Financial Information, assuming completion of the transactions summarised in Section 6.6 of the Prospectus, are not addressed in this Report.

The audit reports issued by RSM Australia Partners with respect to the financial statements for the 11 month period ended 30 June 2019 and the year ended 30 June 2020 included an emphasis of matter in relation to material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. However, the audit opinions were not modified in this regard.

The 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 .

Pro forma historical financial information

You have requested RSM to review the Company’s pro forma historical statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020 (“the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information”).

The Pro Forma Historical Financial Information has been derived from the Historical Financial Information of the Company after adjusting for the effects of the pro forma adjustments described in Section 6.6 of the Prospectus. The stated basis of preparation is the recognition and measurement principles of Australian Accounting Standards applied to the Historical Financial Information and the events or transactions to which the subsequent events and pro forma adjustments relate, as described in Section 6.6 of the Prospectus, as if those events or transactions had occurred as at the date of the Historical Financial Information. Due to its nature, the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information does not represent the Company’s actual or prospective financial position or statement of financial performance.

Directors’ responsibility

The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the Historical Financial Information and the 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 that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Our responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a limited assurance conclusion on the Historical Financial Information and the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information based on the procedures performed and the evidence we have obtained. We have conducted our engagement in accordance with the Standard on Assurance Engagements ASAE 3450 Assurance Engagements involving Corporate Fundraisings and/or Prospective Financial Information.

A review consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. Our procedures included:

  •  A consistency check of the application of the stated basis of preparation to the Historical and Pro Forma Historical Financial Information;

  •  A review of the Company’s and its auditor’s work papers, accounting records and other documents;

  •  Enquiry of directors, management personnel and advisors;

  •  Consideration of the pro forma adjustments described in Section 6.6 of the Prospectus; and

  •  Performance of analytical procedures applied to the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information.

A review 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 an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the Historical Financial Information or the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information.

Conclusions

Historical Financial Information

Based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Historical Financial Information, as set out in Section 6 of the Prospectus, and comprising:

  •  the consolidated statement of profit or loss and consolidated statement of cash flows of the Company for the period from 7 August 2018 to 30 June 2019 and for the year ended 30 June 2020; and

  •  the consolidated statement of financial position of the Company as at 30 June 2020;

is not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with the stated basis of preparation, as described in Section 6.2 of the Prospectus.

Pro Forma Historical Financial Information

Based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information, as set out in Section 6.5 of the Prospectus, and comprising the pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of the Company as at 30 June 2020, is not presented fairly in all material respects, in accordance with the stated basis of preparation, as described in Section 6.2 of the Prospectus.

Restriction on Use

Without modifying our conclusions, we draw attention to the purpose of the financial information, being for inclusion in the Prospectus. As a result, the financial information may not be suitable for use for another purpose.
