4014-06/3909216_30
Further information with respect to the Vendor, his current voting power and the potential impact of the Proposed Acquisitions is set out in Section 2.9(g).
1.7 Directors' interests
None of the Directors have any interest in the Proposed Acquisitions.
2. RESOLUTION 1 – APPROVAL OF ISSUE OF SECURITIES TO SUBSTANTIAL HOLDER IN CONSIDERATION OF ACQUISITION OF CLASSIFIED ASSET
2.1 General
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the purpose of Item 7 of section 611 of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.1 to allow the Company to issue:
(a) 100,000,000 Brema Consideration Shares; and
(b) 140,000,000 NT Consideration Shares,
to the Vendor (or his nominee/s), subject to settlement occurring under the Agreements.
As at the date of this Notice, the Vendor, James John del Piano, and his associated entities currently hold a relevant interest in 58,570,000 Shares, representing approximately 11.42% of the votes that may be cast at a general meeting of the Company.
The issue of the Consideration Shares, when aggregated with the existing Shares held by the Vendor and its associates as at the date of this Notice, will result in the Vendor's voting power in the Company increasing from 11.42% up to 39.65% on an undiluted basis reducing to 32.65% if the Tranche 2 Placement Shares are approved by the shareholders at the General Meeting and allotted. The maximum voting power is subject to change in the event any additional Shares are issued in the capital of the Company prior to completion of the Proposed Acquisitions.
Pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 8), Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue of securities approved for the purpose of Item 7 of section 611 of the Corporations Act. Accordingly, if Shareholders approve the issue of securities pursuant to Resolution 1, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and the additional 10% annual capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
2.2 ASX Listing Rule 10.1
ASX Listing Rule 10.1 provides that an entity (or any of its subsidiaries) must not acquire a substantial asset from:
10.1.1 a related party of the Company;
10.1.2 a subsidiary of the Company;
10.1.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the transaction or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the Company;
10.1.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.1.1 to 10.1.3; or
10.1.5 a person whose relationship to the entity or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.1.1 to 10.1.4 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the transaction should be approved by Shareholders.
2.3 Substantial Asset
Pursuant to Listing Rule 10.2, an asset is "substantial" if its value, or the value of the consideration for it is, or in ASX's opinion is, 5% or more of the equity interests of the Company as set out in the latest accounts given to ASX under the Listing Rules.
The equity interests of the Company as set out in the Company's latest audited accounts given to ASX under the Listing Rules (for the half year ended 31 December 2025) is $12,046,403. A substantial asset is therefore an asset of value greater than 5% of this figure being $602,320.
4014-06/3909216_30
The consideration payable by the Company for the Proposed Acquisitions is valued at approximately $2,400,000 (using $0.01 as the deemed issue price for the Consideration Shares, being the price of the Company's Shares as at the date of this Notice) being 19.34% of the Company's total equity interests and is therefore considered to be an acquisition of a substantial asset for the purposes of the Listing Rules.
2.4 Requirement for Shareholder approval
As set out in Section 2.9(g) below, Mr James John del Piano (together with his associates) is a substantial (10%+) holder of the Company, with a voting power of 11.42% as at the date of this Notice.
The deemed associates of the Vendor and the nature of the association is summarised in Section 2.9(f).
Listing Rule 10.1 provides that an entity must not acquire a substantial asset from a person who is a substantial (10%+) holder in the entity (Mr del Piano), or an associate of such a person, without the approval of the entity's security holders.
The Proposed Acquisitions falls within Listing Rule 10.1.3 as it involves the acquisition of a substantial asset from an associate of a substantial holder and, accordingly, it requires the approval of the Company's shareholders under Listing Rule 10.1.
While Listing Rule 10.3 outlines a number of exceptions to the requirement for shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.1, none of those exceptions apply in respect of Resolution 1.
2.5 Independent Expert Report
Listing Rule 10.5.10 requires a notice of meeting containing a resolution under Listing Rule 10.1 to include a report on the transaction from an independent expert.
The Independent Expert's Report prepared by BDO Corporate Finance Australia Pty Ltd (a copy of which is attached at Annexure A to this Notice) sets out a detailed independent examination of the Acquisition to enable non-associated Shareholders to assess the merits and decide whether to approve Resolution 1.
The Independent Expert has concluded that the Proposed Acquisitions are FAIR AND REASONABLE to the non-associated Shareholders of the Company.
Shareholders are urged to carefully read the Independent Expert's Report to understand its scope, the methodology used to determine the fairness and reasonableness of the Proposed Acquisitions and the sources of information and assumptions made therein.
2.6 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
This Resolution is subject to, and conditional upon approval of Resolution 8.
If Resolution 1 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Consideration Shares.
If Resolution 1 is not approved, the Company will be unable to issue the Consideration Shares. In that case, the Company would need to renegotiate the payment terms under the Agreements. If the parties are unable to agree on an alternative form of consideration, the Proposed Acquisitions will not proceed.

2.9 Item 7 of Section 611 of the Corporations Act
(a) Section 606 of the Corporations Act – Statutory Prohibition
Pursuant to section 606(1) of the Corporations Act, a person must not acquire a relevant interest in issued voting shares in a listed company if the person acquiring the interest does so through a transaction in relation to securities entered into by or on behalf of the person and because of the transaction, that person's or someone else's voting power in the company increases:
(i) from 20% or below to more than 20%; or
(ii) from a starting point that is above 20% and below 90%,
(the Prohibition).
(b) Voting Power
The voting power of a person in a body corporate is determined in accordance with section 610 of the Corporations Act. The calculation of a person's voting power in a company involves determining the voting shares in the company in which the person and the person's associates have a relevant interest.
(c) Relevant Interests
Section 608(1) of the Corporations Act provides that a person has a relevant interest in securities if they:
(i) are the holder of the securities;
(ii) have the power to exercise, or control the exercise of, a right to vote attached to the securities; or
(iii) have power to dispose of, or control the exercise of a power to dispose of, the securities.
It does not matter how remote the relevant interest is or how it arises. If two or more people can jointly exercise one of these powers, each of them is taken to have that power.
4014-06/3909216_30
In addition, section 608(3) of the Corporations Act provides that a person has a relevant interest in securities that any of the following has:
(i) a body corporate in which the person's voting power is above 20%;
(ii) a body corporate that the person controls.
(d) Associates
For the purposes of determining voting power under the Corporations Act, a person (second person) is an "associate" of the other person (first person) if:
(i) (pursuant to section 12(2) of the Corporations Act) the first person is a body corporate and the second person is:
(A) a body corporate the first person controls;
(B) a body corporate that controls the first person; or
(C) a body corporate that is controlled by an entity that controls the person;
(ii) the second person has entered or proposes to enter into a relevant agreement with the first person for the purpose of controlling or influencing the composition of the company's board or the conduct of the company's affairs; or
(iii) the second person is a person with whom the first person is acting or proposes to act, in concert in relation to the company's affairs.
Associates are, therefore, determined as a matter of fact. For example, where a person controls or influences the board or the conduct of a company's business affairs, or acts in concert with a person in relation to the entity's business affairs.
(e) Control
The Corporations Act defines "control" and "relevant agreement" very broadly as follows:
(i) Under section 50AA of the Corporations Act control means the capacity to determine the outcome of decisions about the financial and operating policies of the Company.
(ii) Under section 9 of the Corporations Act, a relevant agreement includes an agreement, arrangement or understanding whether written or oral, formal or informal and whether or not having legal or equitable force.
(f) Associates of the Vendor
Coniston Pty Ltd (ACN 008 943 093) as trustee for the Coniston Trust (Coniston), an entity of which the Vendor is the sole director, company secretary and shareholder, holds 6,470,000 Shares. Corporate Resource Services Pty Ltd (ACN 649 405 069) (Corporate Resources), an entity of which the Vendor is the sole director and shareholder, holds 5,400,000 Shares. The Vendor is therefore taken to control Coniston and Corporate Resources for the purposes of section 50AA of the Corporations Act.
For the purposes of the Corporations Act, on account of that control, the Vendor, Coniston and Corporate Resources are deemed to be associates of the Vendor for the purposes of section 12(2) of the Corporations Act.
(g) Vendor's relevant interest and voting power in the Company
The sole shareholder of both Brema and North Tennant is Mr James John del Piano (otherwise referred to as the Vendor) who, together with entities associated with him, is a substantial shareholder of the Company.
At the date of this Notice, the Vendor, together with his associates, hold the relevant interests and associated voting power in the Company as set out in the table below.

Notes:
1. The Vendor is the sole director, company secretary and shareholder of Coniston Pty Ltd.
2. The Vendor is the sole director and shareholder of Corporate Resource Services Pty Ltd.
3. Based on a total issued share capital of 513,077,415 Shares. Percentage of relevant interest expressed on an undiluted basis.
The following table demonstrates the potential impact of the Proposed Acquisitions on the Vendor's relevant interest in the Company.
Following completion of the Proposed Acquisitions and the Capital Raising

Notes:
1. The deemed associates of the Vendor and the nature of the association is summarised above.
2. The table above assumes shareholder approval is obtained at the General Meeting for the issue of the securities pursuant to the Proposed Acquisitions, namely the Consideration Shares for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.1 and Item 7 section 611 of the Corporations Act.
3. Percentage of relevant interest expressed on an undiluted basis.
4. Assumes shareholder approval is obtained at the General Meeting for the issue of the Placement Securities to be issued under the Capital Raising for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (being, the subject of Resolution 3.
5. This calculation assumes that no additional Shares are issued and no other convertible securities vest or are exercised between the date of this Notice and the issue of the Consideration Shares.
6. This table does not take into account the aggregate total of 180,000,000 Milestone Shares to be issued to the Vendor under the Proposed Acquisitions on the basis that the relevant Milestones have not yet been satisfied, and there is no certainty of satisfaction of these Milestones in future. The Company intends to seek shareholder approval for the issue of the Milestone Shares at such time as the relevant Milestones are satisfied.
7. Percentage of relevant interest expressed on a fully diluted basis, assuming that 200,000,000 New Options are issued under the Capital Raising (being, the subject of Resolution 3), 60,000,000 Lead Manager Options (being, the subject of Resolution 4) and 270,000,000 Options are issued under the Options Placement (being, the subject of Resolution 7).
2.10 Reason Section 611 Approval is Required
Item 7 of section 611 of the Corporations Act provides an exception to the Prohibition, whereby a person may acquire a relevant interest in a company's voting shares with shareholder approval.
Following the issue of the Consideration Shares as set out above and prior to the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares subject to shareholder approval (being, the subject of Resolution 3), the Vendor and his associates will hold a relevant interest in 298,570,000 Shares in the Company, representing a maximum voting power of 39.65% (on an undiluted basis) reducing to 32.65% if the Tranche 2 Placement Shares are approved by the shareholders at the General Meeting and allotted.
This calculation assumes that no additional Shares are issued and no other convertible securities vest or are exercised between the date of this Notice and the issue of the
4014-06/3909216_30
13
Consideration Shares. The maximum voting power is subject to change in the event any additional Shares are issued in the capital of the Company prior to completion of the Proposed Acquisitions.
Accordingly, Resolution 1 seeks shareholder approval for the purposes of item 7 of section 611, and for all other purposes, to permit the Company to issue the relevant Consideration Shares to the Vendor.
Shareholder approval is therefore required to allow the Vendor and his associates to acquire a relevant interest in the Consideration Shares, as their combined voting power in the Company will increase above the 20% threshold as a result of the issue.
2.11 Specific Information required by section 611 Item 7 of the Corporations Act and ASIC Regulatory Guide 74
The following information is required to be provided to Shareholders under the Corporations Act and ASIC Regulatory Guide 74 in respect of obtaining approval for Item 7 of section 611 of the Corporations Act. Shareholders are also referred to the Independent Expert's Report prepared by BDO Corporate Finance Australia Pty Ltd annexed to this Explanatory Statement.
(a) Identity of the Acquirer and its Associates
It is proposed that the Vendor will be issued the Consideration Shares in accordance with the terms of the Agreements as set out in Section 1.1 of this Explanatory Memorandum.
The identity of the Vendor's associates and the nature of their relevant interest is summarised in Section 2.9(f) and 2.9(g) above and Section 2.11(b) below.
(b) Relevant Interest and Voting Power
(i) Relevant Interest
The relevant interests of the Vendor, together with his associates, in voting shares in the capital of the Company (both current, and following the issue of the Consideration Shares to the Vendor as contemplated by this Notice) are set out in the table below:
| PARTY | RELEVANT INTEREST AS AT THE DATE OF THIS NOTICE OF MEETING^{1} | RELEVANT INTEREST AFTER THE ISSUE OF THE CONSIDERATION SHARES^{2} |
|---|---|---|
| Mr James John del Piano and his associates^{3} | 58,570,000^{4} | 298,570,000 |
Notes:
- Based on the total number of Shares currently on issue as at the date of this Notice.
- For the avoidance of doubt, the increase in the relevant interest of the Vendor arises from the issue of an aggregate total of 240,000,000 Consideration Shares comprising 100,000,000 Brema Consideration Shares, and 140,000,000 NT Consideration Shares pursuant to the Proposed Acquisitions.
- The deemed associates of the Vendor and the nature of the association is summarised in Section 2.9(f).

The Vendor nor any of his associates have any contract, arrangement or understanding with the Company in relation to the control or influence of the composition of the Company's board or the conduct of the Company's affairs, nor does the Vendor or his associates propose to act in concert in relation to the Company.
The Agreements are the only relevant agreement between the Company and the Vendor and/or his associates in connection with the
4014-06/3909216_30
14
Proposed Acquisition. It does not contain any provisions that affect or relate to the control or influence of the Company's board or the management of its affairs.

Notes:
- Based on the total number of Shares currently on issue as at the date of this Notice.
- Assuming no additional Shares are issued between the date of this Notice and the issue of the Consideration Shares. The increase in the relevant interest of the Vendor from the issue of an aggregate total of 240,000,000 Consideration Shares comprising 100,000,000 Brema Consideration Shares and 140,000,000 NT Consideration Shares pursuant to the Proposed Acquisitions. Percentage of relevant interest expressed on an undiluted basis.
- The calculation of a person's voting power in a company involves determining the voting shares in the company in which the person and the person's associates have a relevant interest. The Vendor, Coniston and Corporate Resources are associates. The deemed associates of the Vendor and the nature of the association is summarised in Section 2.9(f).
- Assuming the Consideration Shares are issued, the Vendor (and his associates) have a combined relevant interest in 298,570,000 Shares, representing a maximum voting power of 39.65% on an undiluted basis.
- Assuming the Consideration Shares and Tranche 2 Shares are issued. In this instance, the Vendor (and his associates) have a combined relevant interest in 298,570,000 Shares, representing a maximum voting power of 32.65% on an undiluted basis.
Further details on the voting power of the Vendor, together with his associates, is set out in the Independent Expert's Report prepared by BDO Corporate Finance Australia Pty Ltd.

2.12 Advantages of the issue of the Consideration Shares and Proposed Acquisition
The Directors are of the view that the following non-exhaustive list of advantages may be relevant to a Shareholder's decision on how to vote on proposed Resolution 1:
(a) the issue of the Consideration Shares to the Vendor would allow the Company to effect the Proposed Acquisitions;
(b) the Vendor's interests would be aligned with the strategic goals of the Company with regards to increasing Shareholder value;
(c) the issue of the Consideration Shares to the Vendor will complete the Company's obligations under the Agreements;
(d) the Company's interest in the New Projects will increase to approximately 80%; and
(e) BDO Corporate Finance Australia Pty Ltd has concluded that the issue of the Consideration Shares is FAIR AND REASONABLE to the non-associated Shareholders. A copy of the Independent Expert's Report prepared by BDO Corporate Finance Australia Pty Ltd is set out in Annexure A.
2.13 Disadvantages of the issue of the Consideration Shares and Proposed Acquisition
The Directors are of the view that the following non-exhaustive list of disadvantages may be relevant to a Shareholder's decision on how to vote on proposed Resolution 1:
(a) the issue of the Consideration Shares only will increase the voting power of the Vendor from 11.42% to 39.65% on an undiluted basis, reducing the voting power of non-associated Shareholders in aggregate from 88.58%, to 60.35%. However, if the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares are approved pursuant to
4014-06/3909216_30
Resolution 3, the resulting effect on voting power will reduce the Vendors to 32.65% and increase the non-associated Shareholders to 67.35%; and
(b) there is no guarantee that the Company's Shares will not fall in value as a result of the issue of the Consideration Shares.
2.14 Independent Expert's Report
The Independent Expert's Report prepared by BDO Corporate Finance Australia Pty Ltd (a copy of which is attached as Annexure A) assesses whether the transactions contemplated by Resolution 1 are fair and reasonable to the non-associated Shareholders of the Company.
The Independent Expert's Report concludes that the transactions contemplated by Resolution 1 are FAIR AND REASONABLE to the non-associated Shareholders of the Company.
The Independent Expert notes that the key advantages of the proposal raised in Resolution 1 to the Company and existing Shareholders are as follows:
(a) The Proposed Transaction is fair for Shareholders;
(b) The structure of the Proposed Transaction means that Shareholders are not diluted by the upfront issue of the Milestone Shares; and
(c) Diversification of projects and commodity.
The key disadvantages noted by the Independent Expert are as follows:
(a) Dilution of existing Shareholders' interest and reduced level of control in the Company
(b) Future takeover bids may be deterred; and
(c) Shareholders may be subject to further dilution in the future.
Shareholders are urged to carefully read the Independent Expert's Report to understand the scope of the report, the methodology of the valuation and the sources of information and assumptions made.
2.15 Pro forma balance sheet
A pro forma balance sheet of the Company post the completion of the issue of the Consideration Shares is set out in Schedule 3.
3. RESOLUTION 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES UNDER CAPITAL RAISING – LISTING RULES 7.1
3.1 General
This Resolution seeks Shareholder ratification for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of an aggregate of 38,615,482 Tranche 1 Placement Shares at an issue price of $0.01 per Share under the Capital Raising to raise $386,154.82 (before costs).
38,615,482 Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued on 8 May 2026 pursuant to the Company's capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
3.2 Listing Rules 7.1
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 4.1 below.
The issue does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rules 7.1, reducing the Company's capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of the issue.
4014-06/3909216_30
4014-06/3909216_30
3.3 Listing Rule 7.4
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company's capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue.
3.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If this Resolution is passed, the issue will be excluded in calculating the Company's combined 15% limit in Listing Rules 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of the issue.
If this Resolution is not passed, the issue will be included in calculating the Company's combined 15% limit in Listing Rules 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of the issue.
3.5 Technical information required by Listing Rules 7.4 and 7.5
| REQUIRED INFORMATION | DETAILS |
|---|---|
| Names of persons to whom Securities were issued or the basis on which those persons were identified/selected | Professional and sophisticated investors who were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved Peak Asset Management seeking expressions of interest to participate in the Capital Raising from non-related parties of the Company. |
| In accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company advises that 2,152,282 Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued to 10 Bolivianos Pty Ltd (ACN 620 725 902) (10 Bolivianos), who is a substantial holder in the Company and is associated with Peak Asset Management. After this issue of Shares the voting power of 10 Bolivianos has reduced from approximately 15.92% of the issued capital of the Company to 14.11% on an undiluted basis. Other than set out above, the Company confirms that no Material Persons will be issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company. | |
| Number and class of Securities issued | 38,615,482 Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued under Listing Rule 7.1 (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 2). |

| Voting exclusion statement | A voting exclusion statement applies to this Resolution. |
| Compliance | The issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1. |
4. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE PLACEMENT SECURITIES
4.1 General
As set out in Section 1.3, the Company is proposing to issue up to 200,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.01 per Share to the professional and sophisticated investors participating in the Capital Raising, together with one (1) New Option for every one (1) Share subscribed for and issued (rounded down for fractional entitlements).
This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of up to 161,384,518 Tranche 2 Placement Shares to the Capital Raising Participants, together with an aggregate total of 200,000,000 free-attaching New Options.
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
The proposed issue does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
4.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue. In addition, the issue will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of securities under the Capital Raising. In that case, the Company would be prevented from satisfying the Condition pertaining to the Capital Raising and, as such, would need to renegotiate the terms of the Agreements. If the parties are unable to agree on alternative terms of the Conditions, the Proposed Acquisitions will not proceed. Further, the Company would not be able to raise the funds required to meet the costs associated with the Proposed Acquisitions and corresponding proposed exploration expenditure on the New Projects.
4.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3
| REQUIRED INFORMATION | DETAILS |
|---|---|
| Names of persons to whom Securities will be issued or the basis on which those persons were or will be identified/selected | Professional and sophisticated investors who will be identified through a bookbuild process, which will involve Peak Asset Management seeking expressions of interest to participate in the Capital Raising from non-related parties of the Company. |
| In accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company advises that 9,022,718 Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued to 10 Bolivianos Pty Ltd (ACN 620 725 902) (10 Bolivianos), who is a substantial holder in the Company and is associated with Peak Asset Management. After this issue of Tranche 2 Shares and the Consideration Shares, the voting power of 10 Bolivianos will |

|---|---|
| reduce from approximately 14.11% of the issued capital of the Company to 9.14% on an undiluted basis. | |

5. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE OPTIONS TO PEAK ASSET MANAGEMENT
5.1 General
As is set out in Section 1.4, the Company has agreed to issue Peak Asset Management up to 60,000,000 Lead Manager Options, subject to no less than $2,000,000 being raised under the Capital Raising in accordance with the Lead Manager Mandate.
This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of 60,000,000 Lead Manager Options to Peak Asset Management.
5.2 Listing Rule 7.1
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 4.1 above.

The proposed issue therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

6. RESOLUTIONS 5 AND 6 - RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES UNDER FEBRUARY PLACEMENT - LISTING RULES 7.1 AND 7.1A
6.1 Background
On 27 January 2026, the Company announced its intention to conduct a placement to sophisticated and professional investors to raise up to $600,000 (before costs) (February Placement).
The Company entered into a mandate with Peak Asset Management pursuant to which Peak Asset Management was engaged to act as lead manager to the Company for the February Placement. In connection with the lead manager services, the Company agreed to pay Peak Asset Management a commission of up to $36,000 (being 6% of the total funds raised under the February Placement) plus GST.
As announced on 27 January 2026, the Company intends to apply the proceeds raised under the February Placement to accelerating exploration of its Dingo Project.
The table below sets out the Company's intended use of funds raised under the February Placement:
| Item | Amount $ |
|---|---|
| Exploration at the Dingo Projects for Rare Earths, Uranium, Copper and Gold | 500,000 |
| Lead manager fees | 36,000 |
| Working capital and corporate administration | 64,000 |
| TOTAL | 600,000 |
The above table is a statement of current intentions as of the date of this Notice. As with any budget, intervening events 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.
6.2 General
These Resolutions seek Shareholder ratification for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of an aggregate of 60,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.01 per Share to raise $600,000.
20,553,807 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company's capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being, the subject of Resolution 5) and 39,446,193 Shares were issued on 10 February 2026 pursuant to the Company's placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A (being, the subject of Resolution 6).
6.3 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 4.1 above.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A however, an Eligible Entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%. The Company obtained this approval at its annual general meeting held on 28 November 2025.
The issue does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company's capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of the issue.
6.4 Listing Rule 7.4
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company's capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue.
6.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If these Resolutions are passed, the issue will be excluded in calculating the Company's combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of the issue.
If these Resolutions are not passed, the issue will be included in calculating the Company's combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of the issue.

4014-06/3909216_30
$270,000 (before costs) (Options Placement). The Options will be exercisable at $0.016 on or before the 30 June 2030 and otherwise on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 4 of this Notice.
The Company intends to apply for quotation of the Options to be issued under the Options Placement, together with the New Options issued pursuant to the Capital Raising, in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules. The Company will issue a prospectus in relation to the Options Placement shortly after the Meeting (Prospectus).
The primary purpose of the Options Placement is to raise additional capital. The Company intends to apply the funds raised from the Options Placement towards meeting the expenses of preparing and lodging the Prospectus with the ASIC and ASX, with any surplus funds to be used for general working capital.
7.2 Shortfall Offer
Any entitlement not taken up under the Options Placement will form the shortfall offer (Shortfall Offer). The Shortfall Offer will be a separate offer made pursuant to the Prospectus, and will remain open for up to 3 months following the closing date. The issue price for each of the Options to be issued under the Shortfall Offer is $0.001, being the same price at which the Options are offered under the Options Placement. The Directors reserve the right to issue the Options under the Shortfall Offer at their absolute discretion.
7.3 Indicative timetable
The indicative timetable for the Option Placement is set out below:
| ACTION | DATE* |

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 4.1 above.
The proposed issue does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

SCHEDULE 2 - MILESTONE SHARES
- MILESTONES
The Milestone Shares shall be issued upon satisfaction of the following milestones:
| CLASS | MILESTONE |
|---|---|
| 1 | Class 1 Milestone Shares will be issued upon the Purchaser announcing to the ASX a reverse circulation or diamond drilling intersection of the first of either: |
(A) a Copper Equivalent (CuEq) intersection of at least 20 CuEq% x metres, at a minimum weighted average assayed grade of 1% CuEq over the relevant intersection and a minimum downhole intersection width of 5 metres (Milestone 1A); or
(B) a Gold Equivalent (AuEq) intersection of at least 20 AuEq g/t x metres, at a minimum weighted average assayed grade of 1.0 g/t AuEq over the relevant intersection and a minimum downhole intersection width of 5 metres (Milestone 1B). |
| 2 | Class 2 Milestone Shares will be issued upon the Company announcing to the ASX a new JORC compliant Mineral Resource of the first to occur of either:
(A) at least 30,000 tonnes of contained CuEq metal at a minimum grade of 1.0% CuEq (Milestone 2A); or
(B) at least 80,000 ounces of contained AuEq metal at a minimum grade of 1.0 g/t AuEq (Milestone 2B). |
Each, a Milestone.
For the purpose of example only:
(A) Milestone 1A would be satisfied by either 5m x 4% copper equivalent, 10m x 2% copper equivalent or 20m x 1% CuEq.
(B) Milestone 1B would be satisfied by either 5m x 4 g/t au equivalent, 10m x 2 g/t au equivalent or 20m x 1 g/t au Au Eq.
(C) Milestone 2A would be satisfied by either a mineral resource of either 3,000,000 tonnes @ 1% copper equivalent or 1,500,000 tonnes @ 2% copper equivalent.
(D) Milestone 2B would be satisfied by either a mineral resource of either 1.25M tonnes @ 2 g/t au equivalent or 2.5M tonnes @ 1g/t au equivalent.
The metal equivalent formulas and criteria are described below.
The calculation of metal equivalent (CuEq or AuEq) will be based on the following formula:
$$
CuEq\% = Copper\ Grade\ \% + \frac{(Grade\ of\ each\ other\ recoverable\ metal/t\ x\ metal\ price/t\ x\ recovery)}{Copper\ price/t}
$$
$$
AuEq\ g/t = Gold\ grade\ g/t + \frac{(Grade\ of\ each\ other\ recoverable\ metal/ox\ x\ metal\ price/ox\ x\ recovery)}{Gold\ price/ox}
$$

Dear Directors
INDEPENDENT EXPERT'S REPORT
1. Introduction
On 27 April 2026, Sabre Resources Limited ('Sabre' or 'the Company') announced that the Company entered into binding agreements ('Agreements') to acquire an 80% interest in two entities, Brema Resources Pty Ltd ('Brema') and North Tennant Minerals Pty Ltd ('North Tennant'), from a substantial shareholder, James John del Piano ('Mr del Piano') ('Proposed Transaction'). Under the Proposed Transaction, the Company will advance the sum of $318,000 to Brema and the sum of $47,000 to North Tennant to enable the respective companies to repay monies borrowed for the purpose of exploration costs incurred by Brema and North Tennant ('Exploration Expenditures') and issue a total of 240 million shares to Mr del Piano ('Consideration Shares'). Pursuant to the Agreements, Mr del Piano will also be entitled to 180 million contingent consideration shares ('Milestone Shares'), which will be issued in tranches on the achievement of project related milestones and expire five years from the date of approval of the Proposed Transaction. The terms and milestones associated the Milestone Shares are set out in Section 4 of this Report.
Our analysis of the Proposed Transaction only reflects the number of Consideration Shares to be issued to Mr del Piano and not the impact of the possible achievement of milestones related to the Milestone Shares. Shareholder approval for the issue of the Milestone Shares will be sought at a future date, should the relevant milestones be achieved.
The acquisition of an 80% interest in Brema and North Tennant represents an acquisition of a substantial asset from a substantial holder of the Company. Accordingly, the acquisition of an 80% interest in Brema and North Tennant requires approval from the shareholders of Sabre who are not associated with Mr del Piano ('Shareholders') under Australian Securities Exchange ('ASX') Listing Rule 10.1.
Following the Proposed Transaction, and before the issue of the Milestone Shares, Mr del Piano's interest in Sabre will increase from 11.42% to a maximum of 39.65%. As the Proposed Transaction will result in Mr del Piano's interest in Sabre increasing from below 20% to above 20%, the Proposed Transaction requires approval from Shareholders under item 7 of section 611 ('item 7 s611') of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ('Corporations Act' or 'the Act').
All figures in our Report are quoted in Australian dollars ('AUD' or '$') unless otherwise stated.

2. Summary and opinion
2.1 Requirement for the report
The directors of Sabre have requested that BDO Corporate Finance Australia Pty Ltd ('BDO') prepare an independent expert’s report ('our Report') to express an opinion as to whether the Proposed Transaction is fair and reasonable to the Shareholders.
Our Report is prepared pursuant to Australian Securities Exchange ('ASX') Listing Rule 10.1 and 10.5 and item 7 s611 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ('Corporations Act' or 'the Act') and is to be included in the Notice of Meeting for Sabre to assist Shareholders in their decision whether to approve the Proposed Transaction.
2.2 Approach
Our Report has been prepared having regard to Australian Securities and Investments Commission ('ASIC') Regulatory Guide 74 ‘Acquisitions approved by members’ ('RG 74'), Regulatory Guide 76 ‘Related party transactions’ ('RG 76'), Regulatory Guide 111 ‘Content of expert reports’ ('RG 111') and Regulatory Guide 112 ‘Independence of experts’ ('RG 112').
In arriving at our opinion, we have assessed the terms of the Proposed Transaction as outlined in the body of this Report. We have considered the following:
- How the value of a Sabre share prior to the Proposed Transaction on a controlling interest basis compares to the value of a Sabre share following the Proposed Transaction on a minority interest basis
- The advantages and disadvantages of approving the Proposed Transaction
- The likelihood of an alternative offer being made to Sabre
- Other factors which we consider to be relevant to the Shareholders in their assessment of the Proposed Transaction
- The position of Shareholders should the Proposed Transaction not proceed.
2.3 Opinion
We have considered the terms of the Proposed Transaction as outlined in the body of this Report and have concluded that, in the absence of a superior offer, the Proposed Transaction is fair and reasonable to Shareholders.
3
2.4 Fairness
In Section 13, we compared the value of a Sabre share prior to the Proposed Transaction on a controlling interest basis to the value of a Sabre share following the Proposed Transaction on a minority interest basis, as detailed below.
| Ref | Low $ | Preferred $ | High $ | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Value of a Sabre share prior to the Proposed Transaction (controlling interest basis) | 11 | 0.0130 | 0.0145 | 0.0163 |
| Value of a Sabre share following the Proposed Transaction (minority interest basis) | 12 | 0.0118 | 0.0158 | 0.0205 |
Source: BDO analysis
The above valuation ranges are graphically presented below:
Valuation Summary
Value of Sabre share prior to the Proposed Transaction (controlling interest basis)
Value of Sabre share following to the Proposed Transaction (minority interest basis)

Source: BDO analysis
The above pricing indicates that the value of a Sabre share following the Proposed Transaction (on a minority interest basis) under the preferred and high is greater than the value of a Sabre share prior to the Proposed Transaction (on a controlling interest basis). Therefore, in the absence of a superior proposal, the Proposed Transaction is fair for Shareholders. We note that this assessment is made on the basis of only the Consideration Shares being issued. We are not able to assess the fairness of the issue of the Milestone Shares as they will only be issued if the relevant milestones are met within five years. The issue of the Milestone Shares is subject to future shareholder approval and is therefore not considered in our fairness assessment.
2.5 Reasonableness
We have considered the analysis in Section 14 of this Report, in terms of the following:
- Advantages and disadvantages of the Proposed Transaction
- Other considerations, including the position of Shareholders if the Proposed Transaction does not proceed and the consequences of not approving the Proposed Transaction.
In our opinion, the position of Shareholders if the Proposed Transaction is approved is more advantageous than the position if the Proposed Transaction is not approved. Accordingly, in the absence of any other relevant information and/or a superior proposal, we consider that the Proposed Transaction is reasonable for Shareholders.
The respective advantages and disadvantages considered are summarised below:
4
| ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Section | Advantages | Section | Disadvantages |
| 14.1 | The Proposed Transaction is fair for Shareholders | 14.2 | Dilution of existing Shareholders’ interest and reduced level of control over the Company |
| 14.1 | The structure of the Proposed Transaction means that Shareholders are not diluted by the upfront issue of the Milestone Shares | 14.2 | Future takeover bids may be deterred |
| 14.1 | Diversification of projects and commodity | 14.2 | Shareholders may be subject to further dilution in the future |
Other key matters we have considered include:
| Section | Description |
|---|---|
| 14.3 | Alternative proposal |
| 14.3 | Practical level of control |
| 14.3 | Dilutionary effect of the Tranche 2 Raise, Option Placement and Lead Manager Options |
3. Scope of the Report
3.1 Purpose of the Report
ASX Listing Rule 10.1
ASX Listing Rule 10.1 requires that a listed entity must obtain shareholders’ approval before it acquires or disposes of, or agrees to acquire or dispose of, a substantial asset when the consideration to be paid for the asset or the value of the asset being disposed constitutes more than 5% of the equity interest of that entity as set out in the latest accounts given to the ASX under its Listing Rules. Listing Rule 10.1 applies where the vendor or acquirer of the relevant assets is a related party or person of influence of the listed entity as defined under the ASX Listing Rules.
Based on the share registry of the Company at the date of our Report, Mr del Piano holds an 11.42% equity interest in Sabre and is therefore a “substantial holder” in the Company for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 10.1.3.
Listing Rule 10.5.10 requires the Notice of Meeting for shareholders’ approval to be accompanied by a report by an independent expert expressing their opinion as to whether the transaction is fair and reasonable to the shareholders whose votes are not to be disregarded.
Accordingly, an independent expert’s report is required for the Proposed Transaction. Under RG 111 the report should provide an opinion by the expert stating whether or not the terms and conditions in relation thereto are fair and reasonable to non-associated shareholders of Sabre.
5
Item 7 s611 of the Corporations Act
Prior to the Proposed Transaction, Mr del Piano has a 11.42% interest in the issued shares of Sabre. If the Proposed Transaction is approved by Shareholders, Mr del Piano's interest in Sabre will increase to a maximum of 39.65% following the issue of the Consideration Shares. Section 606 of the Corporations Act ('Section 606') expressly prohibits the acquisition of further shares by a party if the party acquiring the interest does so through a transaction and because of the transaction, that party (or someone else's voting power in the company) increases from 20% or below to more than 20%.
Section 611 of the Corporations Act ('Section 611') provides exceptions to the Section 606 prohibition and item 7 s611 permits such an acquisition if the shareholders of Sabre have agreed to the acquisition. This agreement must be by resolution passed at a general meeting at which no votes are cast in favour of the resolution by the party to the acquisition or any party who is associated with the acquiring party.
Item 7 Section 611 states that shareholders of the company must be given all information that is material to the decision on how to vote at the meeting.
RG 74 states that to satisfy the obligation to provide all material information on how to vote on the item 7 resolution Sabre can commission an Independent Expert's Report.
The directors of Sabre have commissioned this Independent Expert's Report to satisfy this obligation.
3.2 Regulatory guidance
Neither the Listing Rules nor the Corporations Act defines the meaning of 'fair and reasonable'. In determining whether the Proposed Transaction is fair and reasonable, we have had regard to the views expressed by ASIC in RG 111. This regulatory guide provides guidance as to what matters an independent expert should consider to assist security holders to make informed decisions about transactions.
This regulatory guide suggests that where the transaction is a control transaction, the expert should focus on the substance of the control transaction rather than the legal mechanism used to effect it. RG 111 suggests that where a transaction is a control transaction, it should be analysed on a basis consistent with a takeover bid.
In our opinion, the Proposed Transaction is a control transaction as defined by RG 111 and we have therefore assessed the Proposed Transaction as a control transaction to consider whether, in our opinion, it is fair and reasonable to Shareholders.
6
3.3 Adopted basis of evaluation
RG 111 states that a transaction is fair if the value of the offer price or consideration is equal to or greater than the value of the securities subject of the offer. This comparison should be made assuming a knowledgeable and willing, but not anxious, buyer and a knowledgeable and willing, but not anxious, seller acting at arm’s length. When considering the value of the securities subject of the offer in a control transaction it is inappropriate for the expert to apply a discount on the basis that the shares being acquired represent a minority or portfolio interest as such the expert should consider this value inclusive of a control premium. Further to this, RG 111 states that a transaction is reasonable if it is fair. It might also be reasonable if despite being ‘not fair’ the expert believes that there are sufficient reasons for security holders to accept the offer in the absence of any higher bid.
Having regard to the above, BDO has completed this comparison in two parts:
- A comparison between the value of a Sabre share prior to the Proposed Transaction on a controlling interest basis and the value of a Sabre share following the Proposed Transaction on a minority interest basis (fairness – see Section 13 ‘Is the Proposed Transaction fair?’).
- An investigation into other significant factors to which Shareholders might give consideration, prior to approving the resolution, after reference to the value derived above (reasonableness – see Section 14 ‘Is the Proposed Transaction reasonable?’).
This assignment is a Valuation Engagement as defined by Accounting Professional & Ethical Standards Board professional standard APES 225 ‘Valuation Services’ (‘APES 225’).
A Valuation Engagement is defined by APES 225 as follows:
‘an Engagement or Assignment to perform a Valuation and provide a Valuation Report where the Member is free to employ the Valuation Approaches, Valuation Methods, and Valuation Procedures that a reasonable and informed third party would perform taking into consideration all the specific facts and circumstances of the Engagement or Assignment available to the Member at that time.’
This Valuation Engagement has been undertaken in accordance with the requirements set out in APES 225.

4. Outline of the Proposed Transaction
4.1 Overview
On 27 April 2026, Sabre entered into two Agreements to acquire an 80% interest in Brema and North Tennant, two private companies that hold the rights to a portfolio of tenements in the Northern Territory ('NT'). Under the Proposed Transaction, Sabre will issue 240 million Consideration Shares to Mr del Piano, the sole shareholder of both Brema and North Tennant. The Company will also advance the sum of $318,000 to Brema and the sum of $47,000 to North Tennant to enable the respective companies to repay monies borrowed for the purpose of exploration costs incurred by Brema and North Tennant.
In addition, as consideration for the acquisition of an 80% interest in Brema and North Tennant, the Company agrees to issue 180 million Milestone Shares to Mr del Piano, subject to the satisfaction of certain milestones and will be subject to Shareholder approval should the relevant milestones be achieved, as outlined below in Section 4.3.
If the Proposed Transaction is approved and the Consideration Shares are issued, Mr del Piano's interest in Sabre will increase from 11.42% to a maximum of 39.65%.
Under the Proposed Transaction, the Consideration Shares will be subject to a mandatory escrow period.
4.2 Capital Raise
The Company intends to undertake a two-tranche capital raising ('2026 Capital Raise') and an option placement ('Option Placement'). Under the first tranche of the 2026 Capital Raise, the Company issued 38,615,482 shares to professional and sophisticated investors at an issue price of $0.01 to raise $386,155 before costs ('Tranche 1 Raise'). The shares from the Tranche 1 Raise were issued on 8 May 2026 under the Company's placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Under the second tranche of the 2026 Capital Raise, the Company intends to issue 161,384,518 shares to professional and sophisticated investors at an issue price of $0.01 to raise $1,613,845 before costs ('Tranche 2 Raise'). The issue of shares under the Tranche 2 Raise is subject to shareholder approval at the Company's Extraordinary General Meeting ('EGM').
As part of the 2026 Capital Raise, the Company intends to issue one free-attaching option ('New Options') for every one share subscribed for and issued under the 2026 Capital Raise, for a total of 200 million New Options. The New Options will be exercisable at $0.016 per option and expire on 30 June 2030. The issue of the New Options under the 2026 Capital Raise is subject to shareholder approval at the Company's EGM.
Alongside the 2026 Capital Raise, the Company intends to issue up to 270 million options at an issue price of $0.001 to professional, sophisticated and institutional investors, to raise $270,000 (before costs) under the Option Placement.

5. Profile of Sabre
5.1 Overview
Sabre is an ASX-listed mineral exploration company with projects located across Western Australia ('WA') and the NT. The Company owns six exploration projects, namely the Dingo Uranium Project, Sherlock Bay Nick Project, Andover East Lithium Project, Cave Hill Project, Ngalia Uranium Project and the Lake Lewis Project. The Company's projects are prospective for nickel, lithium, uranium, and gold.
The current directors of Sabre are:
- Michael Scivolo - Director
- Basil Conti - Director
- Michael Norburn - Director
5.2 Dingo Uranium Project
The Dingo Uranium Project ('Dingo Project') is located north-west of Alice Springs in the NT and was acquired in December 2021 through the purchase of Chalco Resources Pty Ltd. The Company commenced exploration activities at the Dingo Project in September 2022. Following the re-processing and imaging of radiometric data, Sabre commenced the identification of drilling targets, whilst it waits for the approval of an Environmental Mining Licence ('EML').
In June 2025, the Company completed rockchip sampling and outcrop mapping which identified uranium anomalies at the Rankins North prospect, in addition to the prospect of rare earths at the Dingo East and Roadside prospects. Following auger soil sampling and additional rockchip sampling, the Company confirmed the presence of rare earths at the Dingo East and Roadside prospects, with auger soil sampling identifying the presence of gold and copper at the Rankins North Prospect. The Company intends to undertake aircore ('AC') and RC drilling campaigns at the Dingo East, Roadside, Rankins North and Eclipse 1 prospects.
5.3 Sherlock Bay Nickel Project
The Sherlock Bay Nickel Project ('Sherlock Bay Project') is located in the Pilbara region in WA. Sabre acquired an 70% interest in the Sherlock Bay Project in January 2018.
In January 2022, Sabre completed a scoping study at the Sherlock Bay Project, following which, the Company completed a number of drilling campaigns to test the depth of identified mineralisation. The results of these programs included further mineralised intersections outside of the existing nickel and copper JORC Mineral Resource estimate.
In the March 2025 quarter, the Company completed an AC drilling campaign to test six targets along strike from the existing nickel and copper MRE. Subsequently, the Company received a five-year expenditure exemption for mining lease M47/567 from the WA Department of Energy, Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety, through to 5 February 2030. During the September 2025 quarter, ML47/567 was renewed for a further 20-year period through to 22 September 2046.
In addition, Sabre is earning into an 80% interest in the Sherlock Pool tenement E47/4345, from Jindalee Lithium Limited ('Jindalee').

- Economic analysis
If the Proposed Transaction is approved by Shareholders, Sabre will be exposed to the risks and opportunities of the Australian markets through ownership of Brema and North Tennant’s mineral assets. Accordingly, we have presented an analysis on the Australian economy below.
8.1 Australia
At its May 2026 Monetary Policy Decision meeting, the Reserve Bank of Australia ('RBA') increased the cash rate target by a further 25 basis points to 4.35%, following a rise to 4.10% in March 2026. This decision reflected the RBA’s assessment that, although inflation has declined from its 2022 peak, it had picked up materially in the second half of 2025. The RBA noted that part of this increase reflects greater capacity pressures than previously assessed. Additionally, the conflict in the Middle East has contributed to higher fuel prices which, if sustained, are expected to place further upward pressure on inflation. Short-term inflation expectations have also risen, leading the RBA to conclude that inflation is likely to remain above target for longer than previously anticipated.
Inflation data for the March 2026 quarter indicated an increase in headline price pressures, which the Australian Bureau of Statistics ('ABS') largely attributed to rising transport costs driven by higher fuel prices. Trimmed mean inflation was 3.3% over the year to March 2026, unchanged from the previous period. The RBA noted that underlying inflation outcomes were slightly lower than expected at the time of its February 2026 Statement on Monetary Policy. Over the 12 months to March 2026, the consumer price index increased by 4.6%, up from 3.7% recorded over the twelve months to February 2026, and remaining above the RBA’s 2%-3% target range.
Labour market conditions remain tight although broadly stable in recent months. The unemployment rate increased from 4.1% in January 2026 to 4.3% in February 2026 and remained at this level in March 2026, indicating the labour market continues to operate near capacity. Broader measures of labour underutilisation also remain low. Wage growth has eased from its peak but remains elevated, while growth in unit labour costs remain stable.
The RBA noted that the Australian dollar appreciated on a trade-weighted basis and against the US dollar since the February 2026 Statement on Monetary Policy, largely due to the widening differential between interest rates in Australia and other advanced economies. Majority of the appreciation occurred prior to the conflict in the Middle East, following the Australian dollar experienced volatility, moving in line with developments in the conflict and associated changes in policy rate paths and risk sentiment.
Outlook
The RBA notes that uncertainty surrounding both global and domestic economic outlook remains elevated. Domestically, aggregate demand is currently assessed to be above potential supply, contributing to ongoing inflationary pressures and increasing the risk that inflation remains above the RBA’s 2% to 3% target range for an extended period.
Global conditions remain uncertain, with ongoing conflict in the Middle East presenting significant two-sided risks, including a material supply-side shock arising from escalating tensions involving Iran, the duration and full impact of which remain uncertain. As noted by Anders Magnusson (BDO Australia’s Chief Economist), disruptions to the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global energy corridor, have constrained the flow of oil, liquefied natural gas ('LNG') and fertiliser, contributing to higher global energy and input costs. These effects are expected to transmit through to the Australian economy via increased fuel, transport and agricultural input costs, placing upward pressure on inflation. While elevated LNG prices
19
may provide some offset through higher export revenues, the net impact is likely uneven across the economy, with cost pressures broadly borne by households and non-energy sectors.
A prolonged or more severe escalation may place additional upward pressure on global energy prices, increasing near-term inflationary pressures. Sustained supply disruptions or entrenched price increases may also contribute to elevated longer-term inflation expectations. At the same time, elevated energy prices and continued geopolitical uncertainty may weaken economic growth across Australia's major trading partners, with potential flow-on effects likely to domestic economic activity.
The RBA has reaffirmed its commitment to price stability and full employment, noting that inflation is expected to remain above target for some time. The Monetary Policy Board has also emphasised that it remains prepared to adjust policy as necessary should domestic or global developments materially alter the outlook for the economy.

9.2 Gold
Gold is a soft malleable metal which is highly desirable due to its rarity, permanence, and unique mineral properties. Gold has been used in jewellery and as a form of currency for thousands of years. More recently, there has been increasing demand for its use in the manufacture of electronics, dentistry, medicine, and aerospace technology.
In addition to its practical applications, gold also serves as an international store of monetary value. Gold is widely regarded as a monetary asset as it is considered less volatile than world currencies, and therefore, provides a safe haven investment during periods of economic uncertainty.
The mining and mineral processing techniques applied to gold is determined by the nature of the ore deposit. Gold contained in oxide ore deposits are typically of low grade and are simple to extract and readily amenable by cyanidation. Consequently, highly disseminated gold can be contained within sulphide minerals which require mining, crushing, grinding and to be followed by gravity separation to recover the gold, subject to flotation to concentrate the sulphide mineral fraction containing the gold. Inherently, the costs associated with the treatment of oxide ore are significantly less than of sulphide ores.
Once mined, gold continues to exist indefinitely and is often melted down and recycled to produce alternative or replacement products. Consequently, demand for gold is supported by both gold ore mining and gold recycling. A summary of the recent historical supply of gold is provided in the table below.
| Gold supply (t) | 2019 | 2020 | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mine production | 3,596 | 3,482 | 3,589 | 3,625 | 3,644 | 3,650 | 3,672 |
| Net producer hedging | 6 | (39) | (7) | (13) | 17 | (54) | (74) |
| Recycled gold | 1,276 | 1,293 | 1,136 | 1,140 | 1,237 | 1,365 | 1,404 |
| Total supply | 4,878 | 4,736 | 4,718 | 4,752 | 4,899 | 4,962 | 5,002 |
Source: World Gold Council Statistics (29 January 2026)
Heightened geopolitical and economic uncertainty following 2025's record surge in gold prices is expected to keep demand strong in 2026, with central bank accumulation remaining a major structural driver as institutions continue diversifying reserves and responding to persistent global risks. Continued large-scale purchases from central banks, alongside concerns about slowing global growth and sustained safe-haven demand are anticipated to further support the commodity. However, if United States ("US") monetary policy turns more restrictive, geopolitical tensions ease, or the US economy achieves a stronger-than-expected soft landing, the resulting stronger US dollar and reduced risk perception could lead to gold divestment in 2026.
Gold ore mining is a capital intensive and high-cost process, which becomes increasingly difficult and more expensive as the quality of ore reserves diminish. The industry also incurs many indirect costs related to exploration, royalties, overheads, marketing, and native title law. Typically, many of these costs are fixed in the short term as a result of industry operators' inability to significantly alter cost structures once a mine commences production.
The gold industry is geographically diverse, with China, Australia and Russia leading global gold production. According to the U.S. Geological Survey ("USGS"), total estimated gold ore mined globally for 2025 was approximately 3,250 metric tonnes. The charts below illustrate the estimated global gold production and reserves by country for 2025.
Gold production and reserves
The USGS estimates that overall global gold production in 2025 remained relatively unchanged from 2024 as production decreases in the US, Australia, Brazil and Indonesia were more than offset by production increases in China, Ghana, Peru and Uzbekistan.

According to USGS, Australia's gold reserves amount to 13,000 metric tonnes, representing approximately 20% of global reserves and the largest held by any one country.
Gold prices
The figure below illustrates the historical movements in the gold spot price from January 2016 to April 2026, sourced from S&P Capital IQ, together with forecast gold prices for the remainder of 2026 through to 2035 based on Consensus Economics data.

Source: S&P Capital IQ and Consensus Economics Survey dated 20 April 2026
Between 2016 and 2019, the gold price generally traded within a range of approximately US$1,100/oz to US$1,400/oz. During 2020, gold prices experienced heightened volatility, with demand for gold increasing amid uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, as investors sought safe-haven assets. The rise in gold prices during this period was further supported by significant monetary stimulus implemented by central banks globally.
Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, gold prices increased above US$1,900/oz and peaked at US$2,039/oz in March, reflecting heightened geopolitical uncertainty and the impact of
economic sanctions imposed on Russia. In May 2022, gold prices declined to approximately US$1,800/oz following aggressive monetary tightening by the US Federal Reserve in response to elevated inflation. Gold prices continued to decline until September 2022, before recovering as US inflation moderated, the US dollar weakened, and central bank demand for reserve diversification increased.
During January and February 2024, gold largely traded above US$2,000/oz. In March 2024, gold prices increased rapidly to above US$2,400/oz, supported by ongoing geopolitical tensions in Ukraine and the Middle East, persistent inflationary pressures, and continued central bank accumulation, particularly among emerging market economies. In late October 2024, gold prices increased above US$2,700/oz, reaching a ten-year high, driven by continued geopolitical uncertainty, the lead-up to the 2024 US presidential election, and US economic data supportive of potential interest rate cuts.
In early 2025, gold prices continued their upward trajectory, surpassing US$3,000/oz in March before rising above US$4,000/oz in October, and reaching US$4,400/oz by year-end. This increase was supported by continued central banks purchases, a weaker US dollar associated with easing US monetary policy, and ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, including tensions in the Middle East, global trade disruptions linked to US tariffs measures, and continuing instability in Ukraine.
In January 2026, the gold price reached an all-time high, briefly surpassing US$5,200/oz as geopolitical risks continued to support demand for gold. Contributing factors included heightened tensions involving Iran, developments involving Venezuela, and broader geopolitical disputes involving Greenland. However, during February 2026, gold prices came under downward pressure as the conflict in Iran escalated, and declined to approximately US$4,400/oz. This reflected profit-taking following record highs, a strengthening US dollar, higher US Treasury yields, and reduced expectations for near-term rate cuts by the Federal Reserve amid persistent inflation. Concurrently, some selling pressure arose as investors sought liquidity during period of equity market volatility. In April 2026, gold initially strengthened on a weaker US dollar but gains were capped by optimism that the Middle East conflict might be nearing an end. Subsequently, a sharp escalation in geopolitical tensions renewed upward pressure on oil prices and volatility across asset classes, while a rebound in the US dollar on safe-haven demand, higher bond yields and heightened inflation risks weighed on bullion prices.
According to Consensus Economics and BDO analysis, the gold price is expected to recover from current levels of approximately US$4,810/oz to around US$4,870/oz by the end of 2026, remain within a range of US$4,780/oz to US$4,900/oz through 2027, and then moderate between 2028 and 2030 to approximately US$3,990/oz. The longer-term nominal gold price from 2031 to 2035 is forecast at approximately US$4,010/oz.

9.3 Copper
Copper is a soft, tough and malleable metal which is highly sought after due to its importance in a variety of practical applications. Copper is very ductile and a good conductor of electricity which is why it is used in electrical wires, electrical generators and in electronic goods such as radios and TVs. Copper is also used in motor vehicle radiators, air conditioners and heating systems because it is a good conductor of heat. More recently, copper has been replacing aluminium in computer chips. Copper is also one of the few materials that does not degrade or lose its chemical properties during the recycling process. Therefore, recycling of copper has the positive effect of efficiently reducing waste and extending the life of existing resources.
Due to some of the applications outlined above, copper is going to be an extremely important resource in the energy transition. As fossil fuels are phased out, technologies that were previously fossil fuel powered
will need to be electrified. As an example, electric vehicles use four times as much copper as petrol-fuelled cars. This will lead to increased demand for copper as the world looks to achieve its climate change related targets.
Open pit mining is widely utilised in most copper producing countries except for in Australia where approximately 93% of copper is extracted through underground mining. Copper is often found in conjunction with gold, lead, cobalt or zinc, and a number of industry operators mine these metals and ores as well.
There are two main copper ore types of concern, copper oxide ores and copper sulphide ores. The majority of the global copper supply comes from sulphide copper ores. Sulphide ores are the most profitable as they have a high copper content as well as the copper being more easily extracted than oxide ores. While oxide ores are more abundant than sulphide ores, they are not as popular due to their lower grade.
The extraction of copper from sulphides involves a beneficiation process which produces a concentrate. The concentrate generally contains between 25% and 30% copper depending on the type of copper containing minerals being processed. However, this may be as high as 60% copper in certain circumstances. The concentrate is then processed in a smelter.
Copper production and reserves
The USGS estimates that overall global copper production in 2025 remained relatively unchanged from 2024. As for demand, the International Copper Association expects the green energy transition to drive consumption of copper from 28.3 million tonnes in 2020 to 40.9 million tonnes in 2040. This equates to compounded annual growth rate ('CAGR') of 1.85%.

Chile also has the largest copper reserves globally, with Peru's and Congo's reserves following as the second largest, according to the USGS. As depicted below, the USGS estimates that collectively, Chile, Peru and Congo account for approximately $40\%$ of global copper reserves.

Copper prices
The US$ price for copper is quoted on the London Metal Exchange ('LME'). A key driver of the copper price relates to stock levels held in the LME warehouses, being large global copper depositories. Like zinc, copper prices are driven heavily by Chinese demand and mine production. The global balance between demand for and supply of copper, along with speculative influences, determines the price.

Source: S&P Capital IQ, Consensus Economics Survey dated 20 April 2026
The figure above illustrates the historical fluctuations in the copper spot prices from January 2016 to April 2026, sourced from S&P Capital IQ, as well as forecasts for copper prices from 2026 to 2036 based on forecast data from Consensus Economics.
Between 2016 and 2017, the copper price steadily declined, before increasing in mid-February 2017, due to a strike at the world's largest copper mine Escondida, located in Chile. The average copper price traded around US$7,000/t for most of 2018 but then traded lower around US$6,000/t for most of 2019.
Through 2020, global uncertainty and low confidence resulting from the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic was a major influence in the decline in copper prices, with prices dropping to a 4-year low of US$4,625/t in March 2020. A decline in global production, coupled with an improvement in copper demand from China, caused prices to spike over the remainder of the year, with copper prices reaching US$11,000/t in October 2021.
Throughout the second half of 2022 demand for copper was capped by the war in Ukraine, global inflation, disrupted industrial activity and a stronger US dollar. Prices increased in the fourth quarter of 2022, reaching US$8,500/t in December as a result of supply disruptions in Latin America. A decrease in industrial activity and uncertainty stemming from global inflationary pressures caused prices to fall across the first half of 2023, before rebounding at the beginning of 2024. This was due to constrained supply, record low inventories and growing demand from renewable sectors.
Copper prices were more volatile in 2024, increasing significantly to almost US$11,000/t in May 2024, propelled by strong demand related to the global energy transition and limited supply growth. Subsequently, copper prices trended downwards to close at approximately US$8,600/t at the end of December 2024, weighed down by the failure of Chinese fiscal stimulus measures and a prolonged downturn in the Chinese property market.
Entering 2025, the copper market faced heightened uncertainty driven by potential US policy shifts, particularly proposed tariffs on copper imports under the Trump administration. Given the United States' reliance on imported copper, these measures raised concerns over higher domestic costs and contributed to increased market volatility. Copper prices rose from approximately US$8,700/t in early January 2025 to around US$9,500/t by the end of February, before fluctuating through mid-year.
Prices strengthened in late October to just over US$11,000/t and, following a period of consolidation in November, rallied sharply to a high of US$13,524/t on 29 January 2026. The implementation of tariffs
which were limited to unrefined copper, semi-finished products and copper-intensive derivatives, tightened supply conditions and increased procurement activity, resulting in higher prices and elevated arbitrage as New York prices exceeded those on the LME.
As tariff-related impacts stabilised, copper prices reverted to being driven primarily by underlying supply and demand fundamentals. In parallel, China tightened restrictions on new copper smelting capacity to curb further expansion, providing additional support to the market.
The start of 2026 has been marked by heightened geopolitical volatility stemming from the conflict in the Middle East, with flow-on effects into energy markets and broader macroeconomic sentiment. Copper, often viewed as a barometer of global economic activity, has underperformed relative to precious metals as concerns over industrial demand have outweighed any defensive appeal. Prices weakened amid fears that a prolonged conflict and elevated energy costs could disrupt supply chains, raise production costs and weigh on global manufacturing growth, while inflation risks delayed expectations for near-term interest rate cuts and supported a stronger US dollar. Copper prices fell to a low of approximately US$11,826/t in late March 2026 before recovering to around US$13,163/t by late April, supported in part by optimism over improving demand conditions in China. However, uncertainty surrounding Middle East peace talks, together with elevated global inventories, such as LME warehouse stocks recently exceeding 400,000 tonnes for the first time in nearly 12 years, has continued to constrain sentiment and limit upside for the metal.
According to Consensus Economics, the medium-term forecast copper price from the second half of 2026 to 2030 is expected to experience a downward trend from current levels of approximately US$13,000/t to range between approximately US$12,200/t and US$12,610/t. The long-term nominal forecast from 2031 to 2035 is forecast at approximately US$12,270/t.

9.4 Uranium
Uranium is an abundant, naturally occurring element found in the Earth's crust with an average concentration of 2.8 ppm across various geological locations. Uranium is a heavy metal which has served as a concentrated energy source for over 60 years. There are over 440 nuclear reactors across the globe which generate approximately 10% of global electricity. The state of the world's uranium market heavily relies on the fortunes of the nuclear power generation industry. Additionally, uranium has other practical applications such as producing medical isotopes, and in marine propulsion, particularly in naval operations. The Fukushima nuclear disaster in March 2011 clouded the industry's outlook, leading to diverging opinions regarding the use and safety of uranium as an energy source. However, as the world moves toward carbon neutrality, uranium has been identified as a clean energy source, thereby widely improving sentiment around the commodity which has translated into increased demand. This has been reflective of recent increases in the uranium spot price, which is discussed further below.
Australia's uranium sector
The election of the Hawke Government in 1983 led to the introduction of the 'Three-mine Policy', which restricted uranium mining in Australia to three existing operations: Ranger, Nabarlek and Olympic Dam. In 1996, the Three-mine Policy was overturned in conjunction with the election of the Howard Coalition Government. This was facilitated by new bilateral safeguards agreements ensuring that Australian uranium exports are only used for peaceful purposes and do not contribute to any military applications.
Despite the overturning of the Three-mine Policy in 1996, Australia does not permit the establishment of a nuclear power industry primarily through two forms of commonwealth legislation being the Environment
Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cth) and the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Act 1998 (Cth), therefore restricting uranium mining to being for export purposes.
In Australia, uranium mining is also subject to certain state-based policies. The mining of uranium is currently only allowed in both the Northern Territory and South Australia with the WA state government implementing a ban on the granting of any future uranium mining leases in 2017. The WA government allowed the four projects which had previously received approval for future production during the previous government's term to proceed, being Toro's Wiluna Project, Cameco Corporation's ('Cameco') Kintyre Uranium Project, Cameco's Yeelirrie Uranium Project, and Deep Yellow Limited's Mulga Rock Project. Of these projects, only the Mulga Rock Project achieved substantial production.
According to the Department of Industry, Science and Resources, Australian uranium export volumes are projected to grow, supported by increased production from the reopening of the Honeymoon mine in South Australia. Export values are expected to reach A$1.6 billion in 2025-2026, with further growth possible from Deep Yellow's Mulga Rock project, anticipated to commence operations in 2028. Export volumes are forecast to moderate from 6.7 kilotons ('kt') in 2025-26 to 6.4 kt by 2026-27, before rising to potentially 8.3 kt by 2028, lifting export values to A$1.8 billion. However, in real Australian dollar terms, export values may soften slightly due to a strengthening AUD against the USD.
Uranium prices are forecast to decrease from US$94.3/lb at the start of 2026 to an average of US$87.4/lb by the end of 2027, driven by supply increase from mine restarts, new producing mines and higher output from existing mines. Consumption is projected to grow from 91.5 kt in 2025 to 99.5 kt in 2027, underpinned by demand for low-carbon energy and baseload power for data centres. Exploration activity has also surged, peaking at A$27 million in late 2024, and rebounding with three-consecutive quarters of growth in 2025, supported by uranium prices exceeding historical levels, as illustrated in the graph below.

Uranium prices
Unlike other commodities, uranium does not trade on an open market. Rather, buyers and sellers privately negotiate contracts which are subsequently aggregated and published by independent market consultants as price indices. The monthly $\mathrm{U}_3\mathrm{O}_8$ spot prices from 2021, together with forecast prices through to 2035, are illustrated in the graph below. The historical prices quoted below are calculated by Cameco based on month-end prices published by the industry-recognised price reporting agencies, UxC and TradeTech.

Source: Cameco and Consensus Economics Survey dated 20 April 2026
In 2021, the global uranium price rose approximately $45\%$ to a nine-year high of US$45.80/lb in November 2021, driven by stronger demand for nuclear energy and impacts of constrained supply chains. In September 2021, the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust ('SPUT') increased its stockpiles by $45\%$ after purchasing 8.1 million pounds of $\mathrm{U}{3}\mathrm{O}{8}$ , contributing as one of the main drivers of the uranium spot price peak. Since its inception in July 2021, SPUT has improved the uranium industry's liquidity and spot price discovery. Following a period of depressed prices, the uranium price increased to US$58.20/lb in March 2022 following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
After the military coup in Niger in July 2023, the price of uranium increased to around US$72/lb by August 2023. At the time, Niger was one of the largest global uranium producers, and in 2022, the country was the second-largest supplier of natural uranium to the European Union.
Uranium prices experienced heightened volatility since late 2023, reflecting a structural shift in global supply and demand dynamics and renewed policy support for nuclear energy. Prices rose sharply through late 2023 and early 2024, reaching levels above US$100/lb, driven by persistent supply constraints and growing recognition of nuclear power as a critical component of the global energy transition. Uranium prices subsequently decreased through the second half of 2024 as the market stabilised.
During the first half of 2025, uranium prices continued to exhibit moderate volatility, reflecting ongoing adjustments in global supply and demand. Following a sharp correction at the end of 2024, prices stabilised in March 2025 and subsequently rebounded, reaching a year-to-date high of US$82.63/lb in September 2025. This recovery was underpinned by sustained global interest in nuclear energy as a reliable, low-emissions power source, increased investment in small modular reactors, and the reactivation of existing nuclear facilities across several jurisdictions. Mine restarts and development activity, including the Honeymoon project in Australia and the Langer Heinrich mine in Namibia, occurred on the back of sustained price increases.
Momentum in the uranium market continued to trade around the US$80/lb levels towards the end of 2025 and into 2026, supported by a notable shift in US energy policy and accelerating electricity demand from data-intensive industries. In particular, recent US federal initiatives aimed at streamlining nuclear regulatory approvals and expediting reactor licensing have materially improved the investment outlook for nuclear generation. Policy announcements calling for a significant expansion in US reactor construction
capacity by the end of 2030 have reinforced expectations of sustained long-term uranium demand. This outlook was further amplified by the US government's announcement of substantial planned investment in new nuclear reactors to support rapidly growing electricity demand, including demand associated with data centres and artificial intelligence infrastructure.
According to Consensus Economics, the nominal uranium price is expected to trade broadly in line with current levels in the near term, before rising to approximately US$90/lb in early 2027. Over the period from 2027 to 2030, the nominal uranium price is expected range between around US$87/lb and US$90/lb. From 2031 onwards, the long-term nominal forecast returns to approximately US$92/lb.

- Capitalisation of future maintainable earnings ('FME')
- Discounted cash flow ('DCF')
- Quoted market price basis ('QMP')
- Net asset value ('NAV')
- Market based assessment, such as a Resource Multiple.
A summary of each of these methodologies is outlined in Appendix 2 of our Report.
Different methodologies are appropriate in valuing particular companies, based on the individual circumstances of that company and available information.
It is possible for a combination of different methodologies to be used together to determine an overall value, where separate assets and liabilities are valued using different methodologies. When such a combination of methodologies is used, it is referred to as a 'sum-of-parts' valuation ('Sum-of-Parts').
The approach using Sum-of-Parts involves separately valuing each asset and liability of the company. The value of each asset may be determined using different methodologies as described above. The component parts are then valued using the NAV methodology, which involves aggregating the estimated fair market value of each component part.
10.1 Valuation of Sabre prior to the Proposed Transaction
In our assessment of the value of a Sabre share prior the Proposed Transaction (on a controlling interest basis), we have chosen to employ the following methodologies:
- Sum-of-Parts as our primary methodology, which estimates the fair market value of a company by assessing the realisable value of each of its component parts. The value of each component part may be determined using different methodologies and the component parts are then aggregated using the NAV methodology. The value derived from this methodology reflects a control value.
- The QMP methodology as a secondary methodology, which represents the value that a Shareholder may receive for a Sabre share if it were sold on market prior to the announcement of the Proposed Transaction. As the value derived from this methodology reflects a minority interest value, we have then applied a control premium to our QMP valuation.
- The value per share implied by the Tranche 1 share issue as a secondary methodology, being the amount paid for securities in Sabre by arm's length investors.
We have employed the Sum-of-Parts methodology in estimating the fair market value of Sabre prior to the Proposed Transaction, by aggregating the fair market values of its underlying assets and liabilities. We have considered the following component parts in our valuation of Sabre prior to the Proposed Transaction:
- The value of Sabre's mineral and exploration assets, relying on the value ascribed by Agricola
- The value of Sabre's other assets and liabilities, adjusting for fair market value under the NAV methodology
- Transaction costs that have or will be incurred by Sabre regardless of whether the Proposed Transaction is approved
- Proceeds received from the Tranche 1 Raise, net of costs
- The number of shares on issue in Sabre prior to the Proposed Transaction, including shares issued under the Tranche 1 Raise.
We have chosen these methodologies to value Sabre prior to the Proposed Transaction, with the reasons for utilising those methodologies set out below:
- The core value of Sabre lies in the value of its mineral assets, (which are not currently producing assets nor generating any cash flows). We have commissioned Agricola to provide an independent market valuation of Sabre's mineral assets, which is incorporated in our Sum-of-Parts.
- We have adopted the QMP approach as our secondary valuation method to value Sabre. The QMP basis is a relevant methodology to consider because the shares of Sabre are listed on the ASX, therefore reflecting the value that a Shareholder will receive for a share sold on market prior to the announcement of the Proposed Transaction. This means there is a regulated and observable market where the shares of Sabre can be traded. However, in order for the QMP methodology to be considered appropriate, the listed shares should be liquid, and the market should be fully informed of the Company's activities. We have analysed the liquidity of Sabre's shares in assessing whether the application of the QMP methodology is appropriate.
- Sabre has no foreseeable future net cash inflows from its mineral assets on which we would have sufficient reasonable grounds to rely, in accordance with Regulatory Guide 170 'Prospective financial information', and Information Sheet 214: Mining and Resources: Forward-looking statements, therefore we do not consider the application of the DCF approach to be appropriate.
- The FME methodology is most commonly applicable to profitable businesses with steady growth histories and forecasts. Sabre's mineral assets do not currently generate any income, nor are there any historical profits that could be used to represent future earnings. Furthermore, the FME methodology is not considered appropriate for valuing finite life assets, such as mining assets, therefore we do not consider the application of the FME approach to be appropriate.
- We have not relied on the issue price of Sabre shares under the February Placement. The February Placement was undertaken at an issue price of $0.01 per share, with the shares issued to a substantial holder (101 Bolivianos Pty Ltd). As the shares were issued to an existing substantial shareholder, we do not consider them to be issued on an arm's length basis and therefore not indicative of the market value of a Sabre share prior to the Proposed Transaction.
Independent Technical Expert
In performing our valuation of a Sabre share prior to the Proposed Transaction, we have relied on the Technical Specialist Report prepared by Agricola, which includes an assessment of the market value of the Dingo Uranium Project, Sherlock Bay Project, Andover East Project, Nepean South and Cave Hill Project.
Agricola's Technical Specialist Report has been prepared in accordance with the Australasian Code for Public Reporting of Technical Assessments and Valuation of Mineral Assets (2015 Edition) ('VALMIN Code') and the JORC Code. We are satisfied with the valuation methodologies adopted by Agricola which we consider to be in accordance with industry practices and are compliant with the requirements of the VALMIN Code.
The specific valuation methodologies used by Agricola are referred to in the respective sections of our Report and further detailed in the Technical Specialist Report contained in Appendix 4.

10.2 Valuation of Sabre following the Proposed Transaction
The valuation approach adopted for valuing Sabre following the Proposed Transaction is consistent with that set out in Section 10.1 above.
In our assessment of the value of a Sabre share following the Proposed Transaction (on a minority interest basis), we have chosen to employ the following methodologies:
- Sum-of-Parts as our primary valuation methodology. The value derived from this methodology reflects a control value, to which we then apply a minority discount.
- The QMP methodology as a secondary methodology, which represents the value that a Shareholder may receive for a Sabre share if it were sold on market following the announcement of the Proposed Transaction. The value derived from this methodology reflects a minority interest value.
We have employed the Sum-of-Parts methodology in estimating the fair market value of Sabre by aggregating the estimated fair market values of its underlying assets and liabilities, having consideration for the following:
- Value of Sabre prior to the Proposed Transaction
-
Value of an 80% interest in each of Brema and North Tennant, which comprises:
-
The value of the Kurundi Project, Buchanan Project, Frewena Dam Project, Kelly Well Project, Outstation Project, North Arunta Project and Ngalia Project, having reliance on the valuation performed by Agricola; and
-
The value of the other assets and liabilities of Brema and North Tennant
-
The advance of funds to Brema and North Tennant for Exploration Expenditure by Sabre under the Proposed Transaction
- Transaction-related costs to be incurred under the Proposed Transaction
- Adjusted number of shares on issue following the Proposed Transaction
- Application of a minority interest discount.
Our reasons for selecting these valuation methodologies are consistent with those set out in Section 10.1.
The Tranche 2 Raise is to be placed with third party sophisticated and professional investors and is subject to shareholder approval. We have not relied on the offer price to be paid for Sabre shares under this tranche as it is uncertain whether it will be approved by shareholders and if approved whether the raise will be successful.

11. Valuation of Sabre prior to the Proposed Transaction
11.1 Sum-of-Parts valuation
We have employed the Sum-of-Parts methodology in estimating the fair market value of a Sabre share prior to the Proposed Transaction on a controlling interest basis, by aggregating the estimated fair market values of its underlying assets and liabilities, having consideration to the following:
- Value of Sabre’s mineral assets
- Value of Sabre’s other assets and liabilities not included in other components of the Sum-of-Parts valuation
- Proceeds received from the Tranche 1 Raise, net of costs
- Number of shares on issue in Sabre prior to the Proposed Transaction
- Transaction costs that have or will be incurred by Sabre regardless of whether the Proposed Transaction is approved
Our Sum-of-Parts valuation of Sabre prior to the Proposed Transaction is set out in the table below:
| Valuation of Sabre prior to the Proposed Transaction (control) | Ref | Low $ | Pref $ | High $ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Value of Sabre's mineral assets | 11.1.1 | 2,200,000 | 3,000,000 | 3,900,000 |
| Value of Sabre's other assets and liabilities | 11.1.2 | 4,498,527 | 4,498,527 | 4,498,527 |
| Transaction-related costs | 11.1.3 | (37,400) | (37,400) | (37,400) |
| Total value of Sabre prior to the Proposed Transaction (control) | 6,661,127 | 7,461,127 | 8,361,127 | |
| Number of shares on issue prior to the Proposed Transaction | 4 | 513,077,415 | 513,077,415 | 513,077,415 |
| Value per Sabre share prior to the Proposed Transaction (control) | 0.0130 | 0.0145 | 0.0163 |
Source: BDO analysis
Based on the above, we have assessed the value of a Sabre share prior to the Proposed Transaction (on a controlling interest basis) to be in the range of $0.0130 and $0.0163, with a preferred value of $0.0145.
11.1.1. Valuation of Sabre’s mineral assets
We instructed Agricola to provide an independent market valuation of the mineral assets and exploration assets held by Sabre. Agricola considered a number of different valuation methods in valuing the mineral assets and exploration assets of Sabre.
The range of values for each of Sabre’s mineral assets as calculated by Agricola is summarised below with further details contained in Agricola’s Technical Specialist Report attached as Appendix 4. Any discrepancies in the total figure calculation are due to rounding by Agricola:
| Value of Sabre's mineral assets | Low $ | Pref $ | High $ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sabre's mineral assets | 2,200,000 | 3,000,000 | 3,900,000 |
| Total value of Sabre's mineral assets | 2,200,000 | 3,000,000 | 3,900,000 |
Source: Technical Specialist Report prepared by Agricola
The table above indicates a range of values between $2.20 million and $3.90 million, with a preferred value of $3.00 million. We note that the value of Sabre’s mineral assets does not include the value of the
Sherlock Pool tenement, as the Company has not earned in to obtain an 80% interest from Jindalee. For further information on Agricola's approaches and assumptions, refer to Agricola's Technical Specialist Report, which is included in Appendix 4 of our Report.
11.1.2. Valuation of Sabre's other assets and liabilities
The other assets and liabilities of Sabre represent the assets and liabilities that have not been specifically addressed elsewhere in our Sum-of-Parts valuation. From our discussions with Sabre and analysis of other assets and liabilities outlined in the table below, we do not consider there to be a material difference between book value and fair value, unless an adjustment has been noted below.
The value of Sabre's assets and liabilities on a going concern basis is reflected in our valuation below:
| Other assets and liabilities | Ref | Reviewed as at
as at 31-Dec-25
$ | Adjusted
$ |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| CURRENT ASSETS | | | |
| Cash and cash equivalents | a) | 3,521,212 | 4,014,498 |
| Trade and other receivables | | 387,463 | 387,463 |
| Other receivables | | 153,810 | 153,810 |
| TOTAL CURRENT ASSETS | | 4,062,485 | 4,555,771 |

| TOTAL LIABILITIES | | 82,554 | 82,554 |
| NET ASSETS | | 11,963,260 | 4,498,527 |
Source: Sabre's financial statements for the half year ended 31 December 2025
We have been advised that there have not been any significant changes to the net assets of Sabre since 31 December 2025 and that the above assets and liabilities represent their fair market values, apart from the adjustments detailed below. Where the above balances differ materially from the reviewed position at 31 December 2025, we have obtained supporting documentation to validate the adjusted values used.
We note the following in relation to the above valuation of Sabre's other assets and liabilities:
Note a) Cash and cash equivalents
We have adjusted the balance of cash and cash equivalents to reflect the cash balance as at 31 March 2026 of $3.66 million based on the Company's Appendix 5B and the net receipt of approximately $358,000 from the Tranche 1 Raise.
Note b) Exploration and evaluation expenditure
We have adjusted the balance of the exploration and evaluation expenditure to nil as the value has been incorporated into Agricola's valuation of Sabre's mineral assets as detailed in Agricola's Independent Technical Assessment and Valuation Report.
39
11.1.3. Transaction-related costs
In performing our valuation of Sabre prior to the Share Scheme, we have reflected the transaction costs that are expected to be incurred by Sabre in relation to the Proposed Transaction regardless of whether the Proposed Transaction completes.
These costs include costs associated with the preparation of this Report, Agricola’s report, legal expenses and share registry costs. Transaction-related costs have been estimated by Sabre to be approximately $159,000, with $121,600 incurred prior to 31 March 2026. Therefore, we have included transaction-related costs of approximately $37,400.
11.2 Quoted market price valuation of Sabre prior to the Proposed Transaction
To provide a comparison to the Sum-of-Parts valuation of Sabre in Section 11.1, we have also assessed the QMP of a Sabre share.
The quoted market value of a company’s shares is reflective of a minority interest. A minority interest is an interest in a company that is not significant enough for the holder to have an individual influence in the operations and value of that company.
RG 111.43 suggests that when considering the value of a company’s shares for the purposes of approval under Item 7 of s611 the expert should consider a premium for control. An acquirer could be expected to pay a premium for control due to the advantages they will receive should they obtain 100% control of another company. These advantages include the following:
- Control over decision making and strategic direction.
- Access to underlying cash flows.
- Control over dividend policies.
- Access to potential tax losses.
Whilst Mr del Piano will not be obtaining 100% of Sabre, RG 111 states that the expert should calculate the value of a target’s shares as if 100% control were being obtained. The expert can then consider an acquirer’s practical level of control when considering reasonableness. Reasonableness has been considered in Section 14.
Therefore, our calculation of the QMP of a Sabre share including a premium for control has been prepared in two parts. The first part is to calculate the QMP of a Sabre share on a minority interest basis. The second part is to add a premium for control to the minority interest value to arrive at a QMP value that includes a premium for control.
Minority interest value
Our analysis of the QMP of a Sabre share is based on the pricing prior to the announcement of the Proposed Transaction. This is because the value of a Sabre share after the announcement of the Proposed Transaction may include the effects of any change in value as a result of the Proposed Transaction. However, we have considered the value of a Sabre share following the announcement of the Proposed Transaction when we have considered reasonableness in Section 14.
Information on the Proposed Transaction was announced to the market on 27 April 2026. Therefore, we have assessed the QMP of a Sabre share over the period from 8 August 2025 to 24 April 2026. The following chart provides a summary of the closing share price movements and trading volume over this period.

Source: S&P Capital IQ and BDO analysis
The daily price of a Sabre share over the period from 8 August 2025 to 24 April 2026 ranged from a low of $0.009 on 7 April 2026 to a high of $0.015 on 20 February 2026. The largest day of single trading over the assessed period was 21 August 2025, when 7,549,614 shares were traded.
To provide further analysis of the QMP of a Sabre share, we have also considered the volume-weighted average price ('VWAP') for 10-, 30-, 60- and 90-trading day periods to 24 April 2026.
| Share price per unit | 24-Apr-26 | 10 days | 30 days | 60 days | 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Closing price | $0.011 | ||||
| VWAP | $0.010 | $0.012 | $0.013 | $0.013 |
Source: S&P Capital IQ and BDO analysis
The above VWAPs are prior to the date of the announcement of the Proposed Transaction, to avoid the influence of any movements in the price of Sabre shares that have occurred since the Proposed Transaction was announced.
An analysis of the volume of trading in Sabre shares for the 180 days to 24 April 2026 is set out below:
| Trading days | Share price
low | Share price
high | Cumulative volume
traded | As a % of
issued capital |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 day | $0.011 | $0.011 | - | 0.00% |
| 10 days | $0.010 | $0.011 | 703,039 | 0.15% |
| 30 days | $0.009 | $0.012 | 3,946,453 | 0.87% |
| 60 days | $0.009 | $0.015 | 24,846,826 | 5.57% |
| 90 days | $0.009 | $0.015 | 43,022,108 | 10.03% |
| 180 days | $0.009 | $0.015 | 105,999,529 | 25.60% |
Source: S&P Capital IQ and BDO analysis
This table indicates that Sabre's shares display a low to moderate level of liquidity, with 25.60% of the Company's issued capital being traded in a 180-day period. RG 111.86 states that for the QMP
methodology to be an appropriate methodology there needs to be a ‘liquid and active’ market in the shares and allowing for the fact that the quoted price may not reflect their value should 100% of the securities not be available for sale.
Additionally, we have considered the bid-ask spread of Sabre shares for the 180-day period prior to the announcement of the Proposed Transaction, which is outlined in the graph below.

Source: S&P Capital IQ and BDO analysis
We calculated the average spread over the period from 8 August 2025 to 24 April 2026 to be $0.0013, which equates to approximately 10.85% of the prevailing share price over that period.
We consider the following characteristics to be representative of a liquid and active market:
- Regular trading in a company’s securities.
- Approximately 1% of a company’s securities are traded on a weekly basis.
- The spread of a company’s shares must not be so great that a single minority trade can significantly affect the market capitalisation of a company.
- There are no significant but unexplained movements in share price.
A company’s shares should meet all of the above criteria to be considered ‘liquid and active’, however, failure of a company’s securities to exhibit all of the above characteristics does not necessarily mean that the value of its shares cannot be considered relevant.
In the case of Sabre, we consider the shares to display a low level of liquidity, on the basis that less than 1% (0.45%) of securities have been traded weekly on average, with 25.60% of Sabre’s issued capital being traded over a 180- trading day period prior to the announcement of the Proposed Transaction. Of the 39 weeks in which our analysis is based on, more than 1% of the Company’s securities had been traded in only 6 of those weeks.
Our assessment is that a range of values for a Sabre share based on market pricing, after disregarding post-announcement pricing, is between $0.0110 and $0.0130, with a preferred midpoint of $0.0120.
Applying a control premium to Sabre’s quoted market share price results in the following QMP value including a premium for control:
42
| QMP valuation of a Sabre share | Low $ | Preferred $ | High $ |
|---|---|---|---|
| QMP | 0.0110 | 0.012 | 0.0130 |
| Control premium (Appendix 3) | 25% | 30% | 35% |
| QMP valuation including a premium for control | 0.0138 | 0.0156 | 0.0176 |
Source: BDO analysis
Therefore, our valuation of a Sabre share based on the QMP methodology and including a premium for control is between $0.0138 and $0.0176, with our preferred QMP value of a Sabre share being a rounded midpoint value of $0.0156.
11.3 Tranche 1 Raise
Under the Tranche 1 Raise, the Company issued 38,615,482 shares to professional and sophisticated investors at an issue price of $0.01 to raise $386,155 before costs. As this share issue was to arm's length investors immediately prior to the Proposed Transaction this provides a suitable secondary valuation approach.
We note that under the Tranche 1 Raise, the Company will issue one free attaching New Option for every share at an exercise price of $0.016 per option, with an expiry date of 30 June 2030. The issue of the free attaching New Options are subject to Shareholder approval at the Company's EGM.
The shares issued under the Tranche 1 Raise represent the issue of minority interest in the Company, therefore we have applied a control premium to this value to arrive at a value per share including a premium for control.
| Tranche 1 Raise | Low $ | Preferred $ | High $ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tranche 1 Raise | 0.0100 | 0.0100 | 0.0100 |
| Control premium (Appendix 3) | 25% | 30% | 35% |
| Tranche 1 Raise including a premium for control | 0.0125 | 0.0130 | 0.0135 |
We note that each share issued under the Tranche 1 share issue has one free attaching option which would imply a slightly lower net value for each share.
11.4 Assessment of the value of a Sabre share prior to the Proposed Transaction
The results of the valuations performed are summarised in the table below:
| Valuation of a Sabre share prior to the Proposed Transaction | Ref. | Low $ | Preferred $ | High $ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sum-of-Parts (controlling interest basis) | 11.1 | 0.0130 | 0.0145 | 0.0163 |
| QMP (controlling interest basis) | 11.2 | 0.0138 | 0.0156 | 0.0176 |
| Tranche 1 share issue (controlling interest basis) | 11.3 | 0.0125 | 0.0130 | 0.0135 |
Source: BDO analysis
We consider the Sum-of-Parts approach to be the most appropriate valuation methodology to value Sabre, as the core value of the Company lies in the value of its mineral assets, which have all been independently valued by Agricola, an independent technical specialist, in accordance with the VALMIN Code and ASIC's
Regulatory Guides. Further, the QMP approach is only appropriate where there is a liquid and active market for the Company's shares. We note that based on our liquidity analysis in 12.2, Sabre's shares display a low level of liquidity.
We consider the QMP methodology to be consistent with and to support our Sum-of-Parts approach. As a result, our valuation range has been informed by the values derived under both the Sum-of-Parts approach and the QMP methodology. The value of the shares issued under the Tranche 1 Raise are lower than the other valuation methodologies. Given that this was a placement to arm's length investors this is in line with expectations as such placements are expected to be made at a discount to underlying value and to the QMP in order to encourage investors to participate in the placement.
The difference in the valuation results may be explained by the assumptions used by Agricola in assessing the value of Sabre's mineral assets potentially being less optimistic than those made by the market. Agricola has been instructed to prepare a valuation report following ASIC's guidance in RG 111 and RG 170, whereas market participants are not governed by this guidance. In addition, we note that the shares issued under the Tranche 1 Raise were issued at a price that is lower than our assessed range under the QMP methodology, and the dilutory effect of the issue of these shares has been factored into our range under the Sum-of-Parts methodology. The dilutory effect of the issue of these shares has not been factored into our assessed range under the QMP methodology and therefore also explains the difference in valuation results under the two methodologies.
Based on the results above we consider the value of a Sabre share prior to the Proposed Transaction on a controlling interest basis to be between $0.0130 and $0.0162, with a preferred value of $0.0145.

12. Valuation of Sabre following the Proposed Transaction
12.1 Sum-of-Parts valuation
We have employed the Sum-of-Parts methodology in estimating the fair market value of a Sabre share following the Proposed Transaction on minority basis, by aggregating the estimated fair market value of its underlying assets and liabilities, having consideration for the following:
- Value of Sabre prior to the Proposed Transaction
- Value of an 80% interest in Brema and North Tennant’s exploration assets
- Value of an 80% interest in Brema’s other assets and liabilities
- Value of an 80% interest in North Tennant’s other assets and liabilities
- The advance of funds for Exploration Expenditures to be made by Sabre under the Proposed Transaction
- Transaction-related costs to be incurred under the Proposed Transaction
- Adjusted number of shares on issue in Sabre following the Proposed Transaction
- Application of a minority interest discount.
Our Sum-of Parts valuation of Sabre following the Proposed Transaction on a minority basis is set out in the table below:
| Value of Sabre following the Proposed Transaction | Ref | Low $ | Preferred $ | High $ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Value of Sabre prior to the Proposed Transaction | 11.1 | 6,661,127 | 7,461,127 | 8,361,127 |
| Value of Brema and North Tennant's mineral assets (80% basis) | 12.1 | 5,800,000 | 8,500,000 | 11,400,000 |
| Value of Brema's other assets and liabilities (80% basis) | 12.2 | 1,686 | 1,686 | 1,686 |
| Value of North Tennant's other assets and liabilities (80% basis) | 12.3 | 2,995 | 2,995 | 2,995 |
| Advance of funds for Exploration Expenditures | 12.4 | (365,000) | (365,000) | (365,000) |
| Transaction-related costs | 12.5 | (140,000) | (140,000) | (140,000) |
| Total value of Sabre following the Proposed Transaction (control) | 11,960,809 | 15,460,809 | 19,260,809 | |
| Adjusted number of shares outstanding following the Proposed Transaction | 12.6 | 753,077,415 | 753,077,415 | 753,077,415 |
| Total value of a Sabre share following the Proposed Transaction (control) | 0.0159 | 0.0205 | 0.0256 | |
| Minority interest discount | 12.7 | 26% | 23% | 20% |
| Total value of a Sabre share following the Proposed Transaction (minority) | 0.0118 | 0.0158 | 0.0205 |
Source: BDO analysis
Based on the above, we have assessed the value of a Sabre share following the Proposed Transaction (on a minority interest basis) to be in the range of $0.0118 and $0.0205, with a preferred value of $0.0158.

12.1.1. Value of an 80% interest in Brema and North Tennant's mineral assets
We instructed Agricola to provide an independent market valuation of the exploration assets held by Brema and North Tennant. Agricola considered a number of different valuation methods in valuing the exploration assets of Brema and North Tennant. Agricola has valued the exploration assets of Brema and North Tennant on an 80% interest basis.
The range of values for each of Brema and North Tennant's exploration assets as calculated by Agricola is summarised below with further details contained in Agricola's Technical Specialist Report attached as Appendix 4. Any discrepancies in the total figure calculation are due to rounding by Agricola:
| Value of Brema and North Tennant's mineral assets | Low $ | Preferred $ | High $ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brema (80% interest basis) | 1,900,000 | 3,700,000 | 5,600,000 |
| North Tennant (80% interest basis) | 3,900,000 | 4,800,000 | 5,800,000 |
| Total value of Brema and North Tennant's mineral assets (80% interest basis) | 5,800,000 | 8,500,000 | 11,400,000 |
Source: Technical Specialist Report prepared by Agricola
The table above indicates a range of values between $5.70 million and $11.40 million, with a preferred value of $8.50 million. For further information on Agricola's approach and conclusions, refer to Agricola's Technical Specialist Report, which is included in Appendix 4 of our report.
12.1.2. Value of an 80% interest in Brema's other assets and liabilities
The other assets and liabilities of Brema represent the assets and liabilities that have not been specifically addressed elsewhere in our Sum-of-Parts valuation.

We have been advised that there have not been any significant changes to the net assets of North Tennant since 31 December 2025 and that the above assets and liabilities represent their fair market values, apart from the adjustments detailed below.
Note a) Cash and cash equivalents
We have adjusted the cash balance of North Tennant to account for the receipt of $47,000 from Sabre through the advance of funds in order to extinguish liabilities owed to KMM for Exploration Expenditures, under the Proposed Transaction.

Note b) Capitalised exploration expenditure
We have adjusted the balance of the other non-current assets to nil as the value has been incorporated into Agricola’s valuation of North Tennant’s exploration assets as detailed in Agricola’s Technical Specialist Report.
12.1.4. Advance for Exploration Expenditures
Under the Proposed Transaction, Sabre will provide an advance of funds to Brema and North Tennant, to allow the entities to extinguish liabilities owing to KMM. Sabre will advance $318,000 to Brema and $47,000 to North Tennant, therefore we have included the advance of funds in our valuation of Sabre following the Proposed Transaction.
12.1.5. Transaction-related costs
In performing our valuation of Sabre following the Proposed Transaction, we have reflected the value of the additional transaction costs (beyond those set out in Section 11.1.3) that are expected to be incurred by Sabre in relation to the Proposed Transaction should the Proposed Transaction complete.
These costs include an estimate of stamp duty costs and legal costs. These additional costs have been estimated by Sabre to be approximately $140,000.
12.1.6. Adjusted number of shares outstanding following the Proposed Transaction
As outlined in Section 4, the number of shares on issue following the Proposed Transaction is 753,077,415, as set out in the table below:
| Adjusted number of shares outstanding | Number |
|---|---|
| Number of Sabre shares on issue prior to the Proposed Transaction | 513,077,415 |
| Number of shares to be issued as Consideration Shares | 240,000,000 |
| Number of Sabre shares on issue following the Proposed Transaction | 753,077,415 |

12.1.7. Minority interest discount
As outlined in Section 3.3 of our Report, in assessing fairness we have compared the value of a Sabre share prior to the Proposed Acquisition on a control basis to the value of a Sabre share following the Proposed Acquisition on a minority interest basis, as we are required to do under RG 111.
A minority discount is based on the inverse of the control premium and is calculated using the formula $1 - (1/(1 + \text{control premium}))$. Based on our analysis in Appendix 3 we consider an appropriate control premium to be in the range of $25\%$ to $35\%$. This assessed control premium range gives rise to a rounded minority discount in the range of $20\%$ to $26\%$, with a rounded midpoint of $23\%$.
12.2 Quoted market price valuation of Sabre following the Proposed Transaction
To provide a comparison to the valuation of Sabre following the Proposed Transaction in Section 12.1, we have also assessed the QMP of a Sabre share following the Proposed Transaction. The quoted market value of a company's share is reflective of a minority interest. A minority interest is an interest in a company that is not significant enough for the holder to have an individual influence in the operations and value of that company.
Our analysis of the quoted market price of a Sabre share includes pricing following the announcement of the Proposed Transaction. This is to ensure any change in value as a result of the announcement of the Proposed Transaction is accounted for, and that the share price is reflective of the market's view of the value of Sabre post-transaction.
We have analysed the movement of Sabre's share price since the Proposed Transaction was announced. A graph of Sabre's share price and trading volume leading up to, and following the announcement of the Proposed Transaction is set out below.

Source: S&P Capital IQ and BDO analysis
The Proposed Transaction was announced on 27 April 2026. On the day of the announcement, the share price closed at $0.010, down from the closing price of $0.011 on the previous trading day. On 27 April 2026, 1,781,719 shares were traded, representing approximately 0.392% of Sabre's issued capital.
Following the announcement of the Proposed Transaction, the share price of Sabre has fluctuated from a high of $0.010 on multiple trading days, most recently 29 April 2026, to a low of $0.007 on 22 May 2026.
To provide further analysis on the QMP of a Sabre share, we have also considered recent VWAPs for the 5-, 10-, 15- and 17-trading day periods from 27 April 2026.
| Share price per unit | 27-Apr-26 | 5 days* | 10 days* | 15 days* | 17 days* to 22-May-26 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Closing price | $0.010 | ||||
| VWAP | $0.010 | $0.009 | $0.009 | $0.009 |
*Days on which the shares traded

Source: S&P Capital IQ and BDO analysis
In accordance with the guidance in RG 111, we also consider it appropriate to assess the liquidity of Sabre's shares before utilising the QMP methodology to value a Sabre share following the Proposed Transaction. An analysis of the volume of trading in Sabre shares for the period from 27 April 2026 to 22 May 2026 is set out below:
| Trading days* | Closing share price low | Closing share price high | Cumulative volume traded | As a % of issued capital |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 day | $0.007 | $0.007 | 98,248 | 0.02% |
| 10 days | $0.007 | $0.008 | 8,801,888 | 1.72% |
| 15 days | $0.007 | $0.009 | 14,692,639 | 2.95% |
| 20 days | $0.007 | $0.010 | 23,047,581 | 4.74% |
- ASX trading days
Source: S&P Capital IQ and BDO analysis
This tables indicates that Sabre's shares display a low level of liquidity for the period from 27 April 2026 to 22 May 2026, which includes the period following the announcement of the Proposed Transaction, with 4.74% of the Company's issued capital being traded over the assessed period.
RG 111.86 states that for the quoted market price methodology to be an appropriate methodology there needs to be a 'liquid and active' market in the shares and allowing for the fact that the quoted price may not reflect their value should 100% of the securities not be available for sale.
Additionally, we have considered the bid-ask spread of Sabre shares for the period from 01 April 2026 to 22 May 2026, which is outlined in the graph below.

Source: S&P Capital IQ and BDO analysis
We calculated the average spread over the period from 1 April 2026 to 22 May 2026 to be $0.0012, which equates to approximately 15.63% of the prevailing share price over the period.
We consider the following characteristics to be representative of a liquid and active market:
- Regular trading in a company's securities.
- Approximately 1% of a company's securities are traded on a weekly basis.
- The spread of a company's shares must not be so great that a single minority trade can significantly affect the market capitalisation of a company.
- There are no significant but unexplained movements in share price.
A company's shares should meet all of the above criteria to be considered 'liquid and active', however, failure of a company's securities to exhibit all of the above characteristics does not necessarily mean that the value of its shares cannot be considered relevant.
In the case of Sabre, we consider its shares to display a low level of liquidity over the assessed period, on the basis that not more than 1% of securities have been traded weekly on average over the assessed period. Of the 7 weeks in which our analysis is based on, more than 1% of the Company's securities had been traded in only 3 of those weeks.
Our assessment is that a range of values for a Sabre share based on post-announcement market pricing, is between $0.007 and $0.010.
12.3 Assessment of the value of a Sabre share following the Proposed Transaction
The results of the valuations performed are summarised in the table below:
| Value of a Sabre share following the Proposed Transaction | Ref. | Low $ | Pref $ | High $ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sum-of-Parts (minority interest basis) | 12.1 | 0.0118 | 0.0158 | 0.0205 |
| QMP (minority interest basis) | 12.2 | 0.0070 | 0.0085 | 0.0100 |
Source: BDO analysis
We consider the Sum-of-Parts approach to be the most appropriate valuation methodology to value Sabre following the Proposed Transaction, as the core value of the Company lies in the value of Brema, North Tennant and Sabres mineral assets, which have been independently valued by Agricola, an independent technical specialist, in accordance with the VALMIN Code and ASIC's Regulatory Guides.
We consider that Sabre shares exhibit a low level of liquidity and activity when being traded on the ASX which makes the QMP approach less reliable. The low level of liquidity may also explain why the QMP valuation presents at levels below our Sum-of-Parts valuation.
The difference in valuation results may be partly explained by the assumptions used by Agricola in assessing the value of Brema, North Tennant and Sabre's mineral assets potentially being more or less optimistic than those may by the market. In addition, we note that the Company intends to issue shares under the Tranche 2 Raise, alongside free-attaching New Options, Lead Manager Options and options under the Option Placement, which are all subject to shareholder approval at the Company's EGM. The dilutory effect of the issue of these securities has not been factored into our assessed range under the Sum-of-Parts methodology, as they are not inter conditional with the Proposed Transaction, though may be factored in to the share price under the QMP methodology which may explain the difference in valuation results under the two methodologies.
Based on the results above we consider the value of a Sabre share following the Proposed Transaction on a minority interest basis to be between $0.0118 and $0.0205, with a preferred value of $0.0158.
13. Is the Proposed Transaction fair?
The value of a Sabre share prior to the Proposed Transaction on a controlling interest basis and the value of a Sabre share following the Proposed Transaction on a minority interest basis is compared below:
| Ref | Low $ | Preferred $ | High $ | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Value of a Sabre share prior to the Proposed Transaction (controlling interest basis) | 11 | 0.0130 | 0.0145 | 0.0163 |
| Value of a Sabre share following the Proposed Transaction (minority interest basis) | 12 | 0.0118 | 0.0158 | 0.0205 |
Source: BDO analysis
The above valuation ranges are graphically presented below:
Valuation Summary
Value of Sabre share prior to the Proposed Transaction (controlling interest basis)
Value of Sabre share following to the Proposed Transaction (minority interest basis)

Source: BDO analysis
The above pricing indicates that the value of a Sabre share following the Proposed Transaction (on a minority interest basis) under the preferred and high is greater than the value of a Sabre share prior to the Proposed Transaction (on a controlling interest basis). Therefore, in the absence of a superior proposal, the Proposed Transaction is fair for Shareholders. We note that this assessment is made on the basis of only the Consideration Shares being issued. We are not able to assess the fairness of the issue of the Milestone Shares as they will only be issued if the relevant milestones are met within five years. The issue of the Milestone Shares is subject to future shareholder approval and is therefore not considered in our fairness assessment.

14. Is the Proposed Transaction reasonable?
We have considered the analysis below, in terms of the following:
- Advantages and disadvantages of the Proposed Transaction.
- Other considerations, including the position of Shareholders if the Proposed Transaction does not proceed and the consequences of not approving the Proposed Transaction.
In our opinion, the position of Shareholders if the Proposed Transaction is approved is more advantageous than the position if the Proposed Transaction is not approved. Accordingly, in the absence of a superior proposal we consider that the Proposed Transaction is reasonable for Shareholders.
14.1 Advantages of approving Proposed Transaction
We have considered the following advantages in our assessment of whether the Proposed Transaction is reasonable.
| Advantage | Description |
|---|---|
| The Proposed Transaction is fair for Shareholders | As set out in Section 13, the Proposed Transaction is fair. RG111.12 states that an offer is reasonable if it is fair. |
| The structure of the Proposed Transaction means that Shareholders are not diluted by the upfront issue of the Milestone Shares | The Proposed Transaction includes the issue of the Milestone Shares, as outlined in Section 4. Under the Proposed Transaction, should the relevant project milestones be satisfied, Sabre will seek Shareholders’ approval to issue the shares at a future general meeting. |
| As the issue of shares under the Milestone Shares is subject to Shareholder approval at a future meeting, Shareholders are protected from the upfront dilutionary effect of the Milestone Shares in the event that the milestones are not met. | |
| The structure of the Milestone Shares partially protects Shareholders in the event that exploration activities at the projects held by Brema and North Tennant are unsuccessful. The Milestone Shares will expire five years from the date that the Proposed Transaction is approved, upon which all unconverted Milestone Shares will lapse. | |
| We note that the satisfaction of the relevant project milestones would likely be value accretive to Shareholders, though we are unable to determine the extent of any uplift (if any) at the time of satisfaction of the relevant milestones. | |
| Diversification of projects and commodity | The Proposed Transaction provides Sabre with exposure to additional projects prospective for a range of commodities. The tenements owned by Brema and North Tennant also provide a level of geographical diversification, as Sabre will have relevant interests in additional tenements in the NT and WA. A more diversified portfolio of assets may reduce the overall risk of Sabre. |
53
14.2 Disadvantages of approving the Proposed Transaction
We have considered the following disadvantages in our assessment of whether the Proposed Transaction is reasonable.
| Disadvantage | Description |
|---|---|
| Dilution of existing Shareholders’ interests and reduced level of control over the Company | The issue of the Consideration Shares pursuant to the Proposed Transaction will be dilutive to current Shareholders. Mr del Piano will hold a maximum interest of approximately 39.65% in the Company following the Proposed Transaction. |
| Through the 39.65% interest in Sabre, Mr del Piano will be able to block special resolutions. Mr del Piano will not be able to pass or block general resolutions, his interest may mean he can influence the result of general resolutions. | |
| If the issue of shares under Tranche 2 is approved and Tranche 2 is fully subscribed then Mr del Piano’s maximum interest will reduce to 32.65%. | |
| Future takeover bids may be deterred | The existence of a large shareholding which can block special resolutions may be a deterrent to potential future takeover bids, therefore reducing the likelihood of Shareholders receiving a takeover premium in the future. |
| Shareholders may be subject to further dilution in the future | Shareholders may be subject to further dilution in the future under the Milestone Shares. The issue of shares as a result of the satisfaction of project related milestones under the Milestone Shares may reduce the relevant interest held by Shareholders and increase the relevant interest of Mr del Piano. The issue of these shares will be subject to Shareholder approval at a future general meeting if the project related milestones are satisfied, and therefore Shareholders may be subject to further dilution in the future, should they be approved. |
14.3 Other considerations
Alternative proposal
We are unaware of any alternative proposal that might offer the Shareholders of Sabre a premium over the value resulting from the Proposed Transaction.
Practical level of control
If the Proposed Transaction is approved then Mr del Piano will hold a maximum interest of approximately 39.65% in Sabre.
When shareholders are required to approve an issue that relates to a company there are two types of approval levels. These are general resolutions and special resolutions. A general resolution requires 50% of shares to be voted in favour to approve a matter and a special resolution required 75% of shares on issue to be voted in favour to approve a matter. If the Proposed Transaction is approved then Mr del Piano will be able to block special resolutions.
Mr James del Piano's control of Sabre following the Proposed Transaction will be significant when compared to all other shareholders. Mr James del Piano will be able to influence the activities of Sabre through his substantial interest in Sabre.
Dilutionary effect of the Tranche 2 Raise, Option Placement and Lead Manager Options
At the upcoming EGM, the Company is seeking shareholder approval to issue 161,384,518 shares under the Tranche 2 Raise, 200 million free-attaching New Options, 60 million New Options to the Lead Manager and 270 million options under the Option Placement.
If shareholders approve the issue of shares under the Tranche 2 Raise (in addition to approving the issue of the Consideration Shares), we note that Mr del Piano will hold an interest of approximately 32.65%. Under this scenario, Mr del Piano will be able to block special resolutions.
Additionally, if Shareholders approve the issue of the 200 million free-attaching New Options, 60 million New Options to the Lead Manager and 270 million options under the Option Placement, and the options were to be exercised, the Mr del Piano would hold an interest of approximately 20.67%. We note that this scenario is unlikely given that the New Options and any existing options in Sabre are out-the-money as at the date of this Report.
15. Conclusion
We have considered the terms of the Proposed Transaction as outlined in the body of this Report and have concluded that, in the absence of a superior offer, the Proposed Transaction is fair and reasonable to Shareholders.

Appendix 2 - Valuation Methodologies
Methodologies commonly used for valuing assets and businesses are as follows:
- Net asset value
Asset based methods estimate the market value of an entity’s securities based on the realisable value of its identifiable net assets. Asset based methods include:
- Orderly realisation of assets method
- Liquidation of assets method
- Net assets on a going concern method
The orderly realisation of assets method estimates fair market value by determining the amount that would be distributed to entity holders, after payment of all liabilities including realisation costs and taxation charges that arise, assuming the entity is wound up in an orderly manner.
The liquidation method is similar to the orderly realisation of assets method except the liquidation method assumes the assets are sold in a shorter time frame. Since wind up or liquidation of the entity may not be contemplated, these methods in their strictest form may not be appropriate. The net assets on a going concern method estimates the market values of the net assets of an entity but does not take into account any realisation costs.
Net assets on a going concern basis are usually appropriate where the majority of assets consist of cash, passive investments or projects with a limited life. All assets and liabilities of the entity are valued at market value under this alternative and this combined market value forms the basis for the entity’s valuation.
Often the FME and DCF methodologies are used in valuing assets forming part of the overall Net assets on a going concern basis. This is particularly so for exploration and mining companies where investments are in finite life producing assets or prospective exploration areas.
These asset based methods ignore the possibility that the entity’s value could exceed the realisable value of its assets as they do not recognise the value of intangible assets such as management, intellectual property and goodwill. Asset based methods are appropriate when an entity is not making an adequate return on its assets, a significant proportion of the entity’s assets are liquid or for asset holding companies.
- Quoted market price basis
A valuation approach that can be used in conjunction with (or as a replacement for) other valuation methods is the quoted market price of listed securities. Where there is a ready market for securities such as the ASX, through which shares are traded, recent prices at which shares are bought and sold can be taken as the market value per share. Such market value includes all factors and influences that impact upon the ASX. The use of ASX pricing is more relevant where a security displays regular high volume trading, creating a liquid and active market in that security.
- Capitalisation of future maintainable earnings
This method places a value on the business by estimating the likely FME, capitalised at an appropriate rate which reflects business outlook, business risk, investor expectations, future growth prospects and other entity specific factors. This approach relies on the availability and analysis of comparable market data.
62
The FME approach is the most commonly applied valuation technique and is particularly applicable to profitable businesses with relatively steady growth histories and forecasts, regular capital expenditure requirements and non-finite lives.
The FME used in the valuation can be based on net profit after tax or alternatives to this such as earnings before interest and tax or earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation. The capitalisation rate or 'earnings multiple' is adjusted to reflect which base is being used for FME.
4 Discounted future cash flows
The DCF methodology is based on the generally accepted theory that the value of an asset or business depends on its future net cash flows, discounted to their present value at an appropriate discount rate (often called the weighted average cost of capital). This discount rate represents an opportunity cost of capital reflecting the expected rate of return which investors can obtain from investments having equivalent risks.
Considerable judgement is required to estimate the future cash flows which must be able to be reliably estimated for a sufficiently long period to make this valuation methodology appropriate.
A terminal value for the asset or business is calculated at the end of the future cash flow period and this is also discounted to its present value using the appropriate discount rate.
DCF valuations are particularly applicable to businesses with limited lives, experiencing growth, that are in a start-up phase, or experience irregular cash flows.
5 Market-based assessment
The market based approach seeks to arrive at a value for a business by reference to comparable transactions involving the sale of similar businesses. This is based on the premise that companies with similar characteristics, such as operating in similar industries, command similar values. In performing this analysis it is important to acknowledge the differences between the comparable companies being analysed and the company that is being valued and then to reflect these differences in the valuation.
The resource multiple is a market based approach which seeks to arrive at a value for a company by reference to its total reported resources and to the enterprise value per tonne/lb/oz of the reported resources of comparable listed companies. The resource multiple represents the value placed on the resources of comparable companies by a liquid market.
Appendix 3 – Control premium
We have reviewed the control premiums on completed transactions, paid by acquirers of ASX-listed general mining companies and all ASX-listed companies over the period from January 2015 to March 2026. In assessing the appropriate sample of transactions from which to determine an appropriate control premium, we have excluded transactions where an acquirer obtained a controlling interest (20% and above) at a discount (i.e., less than a 0% premium) and at a premium in excess of 100%. We have summarised our findings below:
ASX-listed general mining companies
| Year | Number of Transactions | Average Deal Value ($m) | Average Control Premium (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 1 | 41 | 52.63 |
| 2025 | 15 | 1,031 | 27.71 |
| 2024 | 12 | 481 | 38.35 |
| 2023 | 13 | 174 | 31.68 |
| 2022 | 8 | 2,099 | 24.85 |
| 2021 | 6 | 1,235 | 29.89 |
| 2020 | 7 | 447 | 34.04 |
| 2019 | 10 | 165 | 37.84 |
| 2018 | 7 | 96 | 30.41 |
| 2017 | 4 | 44 | 56.93 |

ASX-listed companies
| Year | Number of Transactions | Average Deal Value ($m) | Average Control Premium (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 3 | 437 | 54.24 |
| 2025 | 35 | 750 | 28.65 |
| 2024 | 43 | 625 | 28.74 |
| 2023 | 35 | 281 | 27.41 |
| 2022 | 37 | 2,349 | 23.60 |
| 2021 | 28 | 802 | 35.17 |
| 2020 | 16 | 246 | 40.43 |
| 2019 | 29 | 3,170 | 32.83 |
| 2018 | 25 | 1,185 | 31.15 |
| 2017 | 23 | 887 | 37.07 |
| 2016 | 28 | 365 | 38.53 |
| 2015 | 17 | 1,082 | 30.24 |
Source: Bloomberg, S&P Capital IQ and BDO analysis
The mean and median of the entire data sets comprising control transactions from 2015 onwards for ASX-listed general mining companies and all ASX-listed companies are set below:
| Entire data set metrics | ASX-listed mining companies | All ASX-listed companies | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Deal value ($m) | Control premium (%) | Deal value ($m) | Control premium (%) | |
| Mean | 559.55 | 34.59 | 1,088.69 | 31.46 |
| Median | 63.42 | 30.07 | 114.56 | 27.43 |
Source: Bloomberg, S&P Capital IQ and BDO analysis
In arriving at an appropriate control premium to apply, we note that observed control premiums can vary due to the following:
- Nature and magnitude of non-operating assets.
- Nature and magnitude of discretionary expenses.
- Perceived quality of existing management.
- Nature and magnitude of business opportunities not currently being exploited.
- Ability to integrate the acquiree into the acquirer's business.
- Level of pre-announcement speculation of the transaction.
- Level of liquidity in the trade of the acquiree's securities.
When performing our control premium analysis, we consider completed transactions where the acquirer held a controlling interest, defined at $20\%$ or above, pre-transaction or proceed to hold a controlling interest post-transaction in the target company.
We have removed transactions for which the announced premium was in excess of $100\%$ . We have removed these transactions because we consider it likely that the acquirer in these transactions would be paying for special value and/or synergies in excess of the standard premium for control. Whereas the purpose of this analysis is to assess the premium that is likely to be paid for control, not specific value to the acquirer.
The table above indicates that the long-term average control premium by acquirers of ASX-listed general mining companies and all ASX-listed companies is approximately $34.59\%$ and $31.46\%$ , respectively. However, in assessing the transactions included in the table above, we noted that control premiums appeared to be positively skewed for the general mining and broader ASX-listed group of companies. In population where the data is skewed, the median often represents a superior measure of central tendency compared to the mean. We note that the median announced control premium over the assessed period was approximately $30.07\%$ for ASX-listed general mining companies and $27.43\%$ for all ASX-listed companies.
Based on the above, we consider an appropriate premium for control to be between $25\%$ and $35\%$ , with our preferred value being a midpoint of $30\%$ .
The minority interest discount is based on the inverse of the control premium and is calculated using the formula $1 - (1 / [1 + \text{control premium}])$ . The assessed control premium range gives rise to a rounded minority discount in the range of $20\%$ to $26\%$ with a rounded midpoint of $23\%$ being our preferred minority interest discount.

1. Introduction
Background and Purpose of the Report
This Independent Valuation Report (the “Report”) has been prepared at the request of BDO Corporate Finance Australia Pty Ltd (“BDO”) under the terms of the Engagement Agreement dated 25 November 2025. The purpose of this Report is to provide an independent market valuation of the mineral assets held by Sabre Resources Ltd (“The Sabre Assets”), Brema Resources Pty Ltd (“the Brema Assets”), and North Tennant Minerals Pty Ltd (“the NTM Assets”).
The valuation is intended to assist BDO in preparing an Independent Expert Report (“IER”) for the shareholders of Sabre Resources Ltd, to evaluate whether the proposed acquisition of an 80% interest in Brema Resources Pty Ltd and North Tennant Minerals Pty Ltd is fair and reasonable.
The valuation adopts conservative assumptions, applies two independent methodologies, and incorporates appropriate risk discounting consistent with VALMIN Code requirements.”
Sabre Resources Ltd is an ASX-listed mineral exploration company (ASX: SBR) with a diversified portfolio of exploration interests across highly prospective geological terranes in Western Australia and the Northern Territory. The portfolio includes advanced nickel sulphide, uranium-vanadium, lithium pegmatite, critical metals, and gold prospects. Given the technical complexity and diversity of these assets, an independent technical and market-based assessment is essential to determine a fair market value as at the valuation date.
Brema Resources Pty Ltd and North Tennant Minerals Pty Ltd are privately owned mineral exploration companies with advanced portfolios in the Northern Territory focused on IOCG and Uranium mineralisation.
Compliance and Reporting Standards
This Report has been prepared in accordance with the following key standards and guidelines:
- Australasian Code for the Public Reporting of Technical Assessments and Valuations of Mineral Assets (VALMIN Code, 2015 Edition)
- Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC Code, 2012 Edition)
- Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) Regulatory Guide 111 – Content of Expert Reports
- ASIC Regulatory Guide 112 – Independence of Experts
The methodologies and assumptions applied in this Report adhere to these standards to ensure transparency, reliability, and consistency with industry best practices.

- Sabre Resources: A$2.2M – A$3.9M (Preferred Value: A$3.0M) (various equity positions as described on page 12 of this Report)
- Brema Resources: A$1.9M – A$5.6M (Preferred Value: A$3.7M) (80% Equity)
- North Tennant Minerals: A$3.9M – A$5.8M (Preferred Value: A$4.8M) (80% Equity)
The Market Values have been rounded to reflect risk and uncertainties in the assumptions.
Summary of Principal Risks
- Commodity price volatility (nickel, uranium, lithium)
- Tenement applications pending grant (Andover, NT ELAs)
- Shallow but variable cover in NT
- Structural complexity and limited drilling
- Remote access and high exploration costs
These risks are reflected in the Geofactors and valuation weightings.
Overall Expert Opinion

6. Geological Setting
Sabre Resources Ltd Portfolio
Geological Setting
Sabre Resources Ltd holds a diversified portfolio spanning two highly prospective Australian provinces: the Northern Territory’s Ngalia Basin and Aileron Province, and Western Australia’s Pilbara and Eastern Goldfields regions. The portfolio targets a range of commodities including uranium, rare earth elements (REE), vanadium, critical metals, nickel– copper–cobalt sulphides, lithium pegmatites, and orogenic gold.
The Northern Territory assets are situated within the Ngalia Basin and Aileron Province, geological settings known for their uranium-vanadium mineralisation and critical metal potential. These areas host sedimentary sequences such as the Mt Eclipse Sandstone, which is a redox-sensitive host to roll-front and tabular uranium deposits, often exceeding thicknesses of 2,000 metres. The presence of carbonaceous and sulphidic horizons within these sequences provides favourable geochemical traps for uranium and vanadium mineralisation.
The Western Australian tenements include areas analogous to the Sherlock Bay Ni–Cu–Co sulphide system, characterised by a mineralised horizon exceeding 1.5 kilometres in strike length. Multiple EM conductors southwest of the known resource indicate potential extensions and new targets. The mineralisation model is consistent with intrusive-related and sheared contact sulphide deposits, with favourable structural and lithological controls.
In Western Australia, Sabre’s tenements cover parts of the Pilbara and Eastern Goldfields, encompassing greenstone belts and pegmatite corridors. These regions are analogous to worldclass nickel sulphide deposits (e.g., Nepean/Kambalda style) and lithium-bearing LCT (Lithium-Caesium-Tantalum) pegmatite systems such as those found in the Andover corridor. The Pilbara applications include pegmatite corridors identified through magnetic surveys, indicating buried lithium mineralisation potential, while the Eastern Goldfields tenements cover ultramafic sequences prospective for komatiitic nickel sulphides and structurally controlled gold mineralisation.
Across the portfolio, early indicators of mineralisation include radiometric anomalies over palaeochannels suggestive of calcrete uranium potential, induced polarisation (IP) chargeability anomalies in sulphidic and carbonaceous horizons, elevated total rare earth oxides (TREO) in pegmatites, electromagnetic (EM) conductors along mineralised corridors, and gold-base metal anomalies. These features collectively support a moderate to high geological prospectivity rating compliant with VALMIN standards.
Exploration History
Sabre Resources Ltd has conducted systematic exploration programs encompassing geological mapping, geophysical surveys (including radiometric, magnetic, IP, and EM methods), geochemical sampling, and drilling campaigns.
Agricola Mining Consultants Pty Ltd - ABN 84 274 218 871
PO Box 473 South Perth WA 6951 – Mobile: +61 4 1234 7511 – Email: [email protected]
Agricola Mining Consultants
In the Northern Territory, exploration has focused on delineating uranium and vanadium mineralisation within the Ngalia Basin and Aileron Province. Radiometric surveys have identified paleochannel calcrete uranium targets analogous to the Napperby deposit, while IP surveys have highlighted chargeability anomalies in sulphidic horizons. Drilling programs have tested these targets, based on information reviewed, confirmed the presence of mineralised zones and refined geological models.
In Western Australia, exploration has targeted nickel sulphides, lithium pegmatites, and gold mineralisation. Airborne and ground geophysical surveys have identified multiple EM conductors and magnetic anomalies, guiding drilling efforts. Lithium pegmatite targets have been prioritised based on geochemical anomalies and structural interpretations, with drilling underway or planned to define mineralisation extents.
Sabre maintains comprehensive exploration databases and has implemented quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) protocols in line with industry best practices and regulatory requirements.
Brema Resources Pty Ltd and North Tennant Minerals Pty Ltd (Northern Territory)
Regional Geological Context – Brema Resources Portfolio
The Brema Resources and North Tennant Minerals portfolios are located within the Northern Territory Proterozoic terranes, principally the East Tennant Ridge, North Arunta Region, and Ngalia Basin. These regions are recognised as highly prospective for Tennant Creek-style ironstone-hosted copper-gold systems, iron-oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) deposits, orogenic gold, and sedimentary to calcrete-hosted uranium mineralisation. Much of the prospective basement is concealed beneath shallow to moderate cover, consistent with the undercover exploration paradigm that has led to recent discoveries in the Tennant Creek region.
Brema's tenements cover a substantial portion of the East Tennant Ridge, a newly recognised Paleoproterozoic basement corridor extending east and south of the Tennant Creek Mineral Field. The corridor is interpreted to host Warramunga Formation-equivalent basement rocks, intruded by granitic bodies of the Tennant Supersuite and overlain by Georgina Basin sediments. Regional gravity and magnetic datasets delineate large-scale structural corridors and ironstone bodies analogous to those hosting Tennant Creek Cu-Au deposits and larger IOCG systems.
Key deposit models relevant to the Brema portfolio include Tennant Creek-style ironstone hosted Cu-Au-Bi systems (Kurundi area) and Large-scale IOCG systems comparable to Olympic Dam-style mineralisation (Buchanan area).
Regional Geological Context – North Tennant Minerals Portfolio (Arunta Region)
The North Tennant Minerals portfolio is located within the Proterozoic basement terranes of the Arunta Region and adjacent northern margin of the Ngalia Basin in the Northern Territory. This region represents a complex tectonic domain comprising Paleoproterozoic to

Agricola Mining Consultants
Mesoproterozoic metamorphic rocks, major crustal-scale shear zones, and intrusive suites that collectively host a range of gold, copper–gold and uranium mineral systems.
The Arunta Region is characterised by high-grade metamorphic rocks of the Aileron Province, including gneissic basement, amphibolite-facies metasediments, and granitoid intrusions, overprinted by multiple deformation events. These tectono-metamorphic processes have generated long-lived structural corridors that are favourable for shear-hosted orogenic gold mineralisation and iron-oxide–associated copper–gold (IOCG-style) systems. Gold mineralisation in the broader Arunta domain is commonly associated with brittle–ductile shear zones, quartz-sulphide veining, and zones of structural reactivation, with several historical high-grade intercepts recorded along strike from the North Tennant tenements.
To the north and east, the portfolio also encompasses areas transitional to the Ngalia Basin, where Proterozoic sedimentary sequences such as the Mt Eclipse Sandstone provide a permissive setting for sediment-hosted and calcrete-style uranium mineralisation. Basin margin structures, redox interfaces, and paleochannel development are key geological controls in this environment and are relevant to the uranium exploration targets held by North Tennant Minerals.
Much of the prospective basement within the North Tennant tenements is concealed beneath thin to moderate cover, consistent with the undercover exploration model that has driven recent discoveries elsewhere in the Northern Territory. Regional gravity, magnetic and radiometric datasets indicate favourable structural architecture and basement composition beneath cover, supporting the interpretation that the tenements occupy a geologically fertile position within a broader mineralised province.
In summary, the North Tennant Minerals portfolio is situated within a well-endowed Proterozoic geological setting with credible analogues for orogenic gold, IOCG-style copper–gold, and sedimentary to calcrete-hosted uranium systems. While exploration remains at an early stage, the regional geological framework is supportive of continued target generation and systematic exploration, consistent with the prospectivity assessment outlined in the Appendices.
Exploration Status and Results – Brema Resources
Exploration across the Brema portfolio is at an early to advanced target-definition stage. Modern exploration has focused on High-resolution airborne and drone magnetics, ground gravity surveys and surface geochemistry (soils, calcrete, and rock-chip sampling)
At Kurundi, coincident magnetic and gravity anomalies define a ~5 km long structural corridor interpreted as ironstone-hosted Cu–Au targets beneath shallow cover. Soil geochemistry has identified anomalous copper with associated pathfinder elements (e.g. Bi, Co, Pb, Zn), consistent with Tennant Creek–style systems. No drilling has yet been undertaken.
At Buchanan, a large (approximately 15 km × 5 km) coincident gravity–magnetic corridor with favourable structural architecture has been identified. Modelling indicates relatively shallow basement compared to the surrounding region, enhancing the prospectivity for a major IOCG

Agricola Mining Consultants
system. Exploration to date has been limited to geophysics and target generation, with no drilling completed.
At Frewena Dam, very high-grade copper values in surface calcrete and silcrete (pXRF readings) are interpreted as possible geochemical leakage from a buried basement copper–gold system. Follow-up gravity and geochemical work has outlined conceptual drill targets, but the project remains at a pre-drilling stage.
Overall, the Brema portfolio is considered highly prospective, with Kurundi ranked as high prospectivity and Buchanan as very high prospectivity, albeit with exploration risk typical of undercover IOCG targets.
Exploration Status and Results – North Tennant Minerals
Exploration undertaken by North Tennant Minerals Pty Ltd across its Northern Territory portfolio has focused on regional data compilation, target generation and early-stage validation of mineral systems within the Arunta Region and adjacent Ngalia Basin. The work completed to date is considered appropriate for the early exploration stage of the projects and has successfully identified multiple areas of geological interest warranting follow-up.
Within the North Arunta project area, exploration has concentrated on re-evaluation of historical datasets, structural interpretation, and modern geophysical review. The tenements lie along strike from the Kroda shear corridor, where historical drilling by previous operators intersected high-grade gold mineralisation immediately adjacent to, and locally within, the broader project area. Reinterpretation of these results supports the presence of a structurally controlled orogenic gold system extending into the North Tennant tenure. Airborne magnetic and electromagnetic datasets delineate coherent structural trends and conductors consistent with sulphidic shear zones, although no systematic drilling has yet been completed by North Tennant Minerals within its licences.
In the Ngalia Basin–related tenements, exploration has focused on identifying sediment-hosted and calcrete-style uranium targets associated with the Mt Eclipse Sandstone and basin margin palaeochannel systems. Regional radiometric datasets highlight anomalous uranium responses, supported by historical shallow drilling and sampling in the broader district that returned elevated eU₃O₈ values. North Tennant Minerals’ work to date has been limited to target definition and compilation, with no modern drilling completed within the tenements at the time of valuation.
Across the portfolio, exploration results are largely indirect and based on geophysical interpretation, geochemical indicators, and favourable geological analogy rather than direct drill testing. No JORC Exploration Targets or Mineral Resources have been defined. Nevertheless, the combination of along-strike continuity from known mineralised systems, favourable structural architecture, and supportive geophysical signatures indicates that the projects have advanced beyond pure conceptual status.
Overall, the exploration status of the North Tennant Minerals portfolio is best described as early-stage to advanced target generation. The results achieved to date support continued

7. Valuation Methodologies
The valuation of the mineral assets held by Sabre Resources Ltd, Brema Resources Pty Ltd, and North Tennant Minerals Pty Ltd has been conducted in accordance with the Australasian Code for the Public Reporting of Technical Assessments and Valuations of Mineral Assets (VALMIN Code, 2015 Edition), the JORC Code (2012 Edition), and relevant ASIC Regulatory Guides.
The valuation approach integrates technical, market, and transactional considerations to derive a fair market value as of 12 May 2026. The methodologies considered include, but are not limited to:
-
Composite Geofactor Method: Exploration Ground - Assessment of the success or failure of past exploration expenditure and results and a consideration of the geological setting, exploration status, deposit model, Infrastructure, accessibility and the political and permitting of the tenements. Reflects the exploration potential for the tenements, expressed as the Base Holding Cost ($/km²) and an estimated geofactor.
-
Precedent Transactions Method: Mineral resources and exploration ground Analysis of comparable market transactions involving similar mineral assets, adjusted for differences in scale, commodity, location, and project stage. Reflects the results of previous exploration results. Valuations expressed as $/t or $/km².
-
Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Analysis: Scoping Studies applicable - cash flow projections based on mineral resource estimates, mining and processing costs, capital expenditure, commodity prices, and discount rates reflecting project and market risks.
-
Cost Approach: Consideration of historical and current exploration and development expenditures as a floor value, particularly for early-stage assets.
The selection and weighting of valuation methodologies are project-specific and reflect the maturity, data availability, and risk profile of each asset. Assumptions, parameters, and sensitivities will be detailed in the valuation analysis section.
A Scoping Study was prepared for the Sherlock Bay Mineral Resource Estimate in 2022. The nickel price has declined on the last few years, and the results of the Scoping Study need to be reassessed. The valuation method chosen for this mineral asset is a Comparable Transaction Method ($/t) tempered by the current market analysis.
The exploration ground included in the Sabre, Brema and North Tennant portfolios were assessed by two methods. The first is by the Modified Kilburn Geofactor Method (Composite Geofactor method) and the Comparable Transaction Method (Precedent Transaction Method - $/km²) as the second. The two methods carry equal weighting and the average of the two values for each tenement is reported as the Technical Value.

Agricola Mining Consultants
Prospective Area
Given the large tenement areas and the early-stage nature of exploration, it is neither appropriate nor consistent with VALMIN principles to apply valuation metrics uniformly across the entire licence areas. Accordingly, only those portions of the tenements considered geologically prospective, based on available geophysical, geochemical and structural data, have been attributed value. The balance of the tenure has been discounted to nil for valuation purposes.
Indicative Prospective Area Ranges
| Target Type | Typical Prospective Area % | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| JORC Mineral Resource footprint | 100% | Defined volume; valuation normally resource-based, not area-based |
| Drill-defined extensions to resource | 30–60% | Depends on continuity, drilling density |
| Strong geophysical targets (EM, gravity, magnetics) | 10–30% | Higher end if coincident datasets |
| Structural corridor targets | 5–15% | Common for shear-hosted Au, IOCG corridors |
| Geochemical anomalies (soil/lag) | 5–10% | Lower unless reinforced by structure or geophysics |
| Conceptual greenfields (regional geology only) | 1–5% | Must be conservative |
| Tenure held for strategic optionality only | 0–1% | Often rounded to zero in valuation |

8. Valuation of the Sherlock Bay Project
8.1 Introduction
The Sherlock Bay Project is located on the eastern coast of the Pilbara region of Western Australia and comprises a nickel-copper-cobalt sulphide deposit held under a Retention Licence.
The project has been the subject of historical exploration drilling and preliminary technical evaluation, including the definition of a JORC (2012) compliant Mineral Resource Estimate and the completion of a Scoping Study evaluating potential development scenarios.
At the time of valuation, the project is not under active development and no feasibility study or development decision has been made. As a result, the project lacks the level of technical and economic definition required to support detailed cash-flow modelling.
In accordance with the VALMIN Code (2015), mineral assets at this stage of development are commonly valued using market-based approaches that rely on benchmark values observed in transactions involving comparable mineral assets.
Accordingly, the Sherlock Bay Project has been valued using a Comparable Transactions / Market Yardstick approach, which estimates project value based on observed market multiples for contained metal in comparable undeveloped nickel sulphide deposits.
8.2 Mineral Resource Estimate
The valuation relies upon the Mineral Resource estimate reported by Sabre Resources Limited for the Sherlock Bay deposit.
The reported resource is summarised below.
Table 8-1
Sherlock Bay Mineral Resource
| Resource | Tonnes (Mt) | Ni (%) | Cu (%) | Co (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total Mineral Resource | 24.6 Mt | 0.40 | 0.09 | 0.02 |
The above grades correspond to approximately:
117,000 tonnes of contained nickel equivalent metal (NiEq).
The nickel equivalent calculation incorporates the contribution of copper and cobalt contained within the deposit and reflects the equivalence assumptions adopted in the historical Scoping Study. Nickel equivalent (NiEq) values are derived using standard industry metal price assumptions and recovery factors as outlined in Appendix F.

8.3 Reasonableness of the Mineral Resource Estimate
(VALMIN Code Section 7.3)
Section 7.3 of the VALMIN Code requires that an Expert forming an opinion of value must consider the reasonableness of any Mineral Resource Estimate relied upon.
The author of this report is not the Competent Person responsible for the Mineral Resource Estimate and has not independently recalculated the resource estimate. However, a review of the available technical information has been undertaken to assess whether reliance on the reported Mineral Resource Estimate is reasonable for valuation purposes.
Documentation Reviewed
The following information has been reviewed in forming this assessment:
- publicly reported JORC (2012) Mineral Resource statements
- historical drilling results and geological descriptions
- geological maps and cross sections of the mineralised zone
- the previously completed Sherlock Bay Scoping Study
- regional geological information for the Pilbara nickel province.
Geological Setting
The Sherlock Bay deposit is interpreted to represent magmatic nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation associated with ultramafic intrusive rocks within the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
This style of mineralisation is well documented globally and commonly occurs as disseminated to semi-massive sulphide mineralisation within layered ultramafic intrusions or feeder conduits.
Resource Grade and Tonnage
The reported average grades of approximately 0.40 % Ni, 0.09 % Cu, and 0.02 % Co are consistent with grades commonly reported for large, disseminated nickel sulphide deposits.
Such deposits frequently exhibit grades within the range 0.3 % – 0.6 % Ni which is consistent with the reported Sherlock Bay resource grade.
Drilling Density and Geological Continuity
Based on the information reviewed, the Mineral Resource estimate appears to be supported by a reasonable level of drilling coverage for the classification reported, and the geometry of the mineralised horizon appears consistent with the interpreted geological model.

Agricola Mining Consultants
Conclusion on Reasonableness
Having reviewed the available documentation, geological interpretation and reported drilling results, the author considers the Sherlock Bay Mineral Resource Estimate to be reasonable for the purposes of valuation.
No material inconsistencies were identified that would indicate the Mineral Resource Estimate is unreliable or unsuitable for reliance in this valuation.
Expert Reliance and Verification
(VALMIN Code Sections 6 and 7)
In preparing this valuation, the author has relied upon technical information provided by Sabre Resources Limited and information contained in publicly released technical reports relating to the Sherlock Bay Project.
The Mineral Resource Estimate used in this valuation was prepared and reported in accordance with the JORC Code (2012) by a Competent Person who is a Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy or a recognised professional organisation.
The author of this report is not the Competent Person responsible for the preparation of the Mineral Resource Estimate and has not independently verified the underlying drilling database, geological interpretations or estimation methodology used in the resource calculation.
In accordance with the VALMIN Code (2015), the author has undertaken a review of the available technical documentation to determine whether reliance on the reported Mineral Resource Estimate is reasonable for the purposes of valuation.
This review has included consideration of:
- publicly reported JORC Mineral Resource statements;
- geological descriptions of the mineralised system;
- drilling results reported for the deposit;
- regional geological context within the Pilbara nickel province; and
- the results of historical technical studies undertaken for the project.
Based on this review, the Author considers the Mineral Resource Estimate to be reasonable for the purposes of this valuation, subject to the assumptions and limitations outlined in this report.
The author has relied upon the information provided by Sabre Resources Limited in good faith and has assumed that such information is accurate and complete in all material respects. No independent audit of the underlying exploration database has been undertaken.
Should material changes occur to the Mineral Resource Estimate, or should additional technical information become available, the valuation conclusions presented in this report may require revision.

8.4 Selection of Valuation Method
In accordance with the VALMIN Code, several valuation methodologies were considered, including:
- Discounted Cash Flow (DCF)
- Comparable Transactions / Market Yardstick
- Cost Approach
Discounted Cash Flow Method
A DCF valuation has not been adopted because:
- the project has not reached feasibility study stage
- no mine plan has been defined
- capital and operating cost estimates are not available at sufficient accuracy
- economic assumptions would therefore be highly speculative.
Cost Approach
The cost approach, based on historical exploration expenditure, has also not been adopted because exploration expenditure does not necessarily reflect the economic potential or market value of a mineral resource.
Adopted Method
The Comparable Transactions / Market Yardstick method is therefore considered the most appropriate valuation approach for the Sherlock Bay Project.
This method is widely used for early-stage mineral assets and involves applying market derived values per tonne of contained metal observed in comparable transactions involving undeveloped deposits.
8.5 Market Benchmarks for Nickel Sulphide Deposits
Market studies and published analyses of transactions involving undeveloped nickel sulphide deposits indicate that in-situ resource valuations typically fall within the ranges shown below.
Table 8-2
Indicative Market Multiples
| Development Stage | Observed Transactions (A$/t NiEq) |
|---|---|
| Feasibility / near development | $80 – $150 |
| Defined resource projects | $30 – $60 |
| Early stage / undeveloped resources | $5 – $20 |

PO Box 473 South Perth WA 6951 – Mobile: +61 4 1234 7511 – Email: [email protected]
Agricola Mining Consultants
Observed Transactions are based on a review of information provided in ASX and press releases and professional judgement has been applied in determining which transactions are more comparable and appropriate for deposits like Sherlock Bay
Given the early stage of development of the Sherlock Bay Project, together with the absence of feasibility studies and the relatively modest nickel grade, the project is considered to fall within the lower range of undeveloped nickel sulphide resource valuations.
Accordingly, a valuation range of:
A$8 to A$15 per tonne NiEq has been adopted based on a review of observed transactions and professional judgement.
Details of the indicative Market Multiples that apply to the Sherlock Bay Project are discussed in Appendix F.
8.6 Resource-Based Valuation
The valuation of the Sherlock Bay resource has been calculated by applying the selected market multiples to the contained nickel equivalent metal.
Table 8-3
Technical Resource Valuation
| Parameter | Low Case | High Case |
|---|---|---|
| Contained metal | 117,000 t NiEq | 117,000 t NiEq |
| Selected multiple | $8/t | $15/t |
| Technical value | $0.94 M | $1.76 M |
These values represent the in-situ market value of the contained metal prior to adjustment for development risk and exploration potential.
8.7 Risk Adjustment and Exploration Premium
Because the Sherlock Bay Project remains an undeveloped mineral asset without a feasibility study or defined development plan, A development risk discount of 40% has been applied to reflect the current stage of the project, including technical, permitting, funding and execution risks typical of projects at this stage of advancement. This is in addition to the adoption of a lower multiple and is specific to the time frame of development through to commissioning and production. The discount is based on professional judgement and experience in the mining industry for over 50 years.

| Development risk discount (40 %) | (0.38) | (0.71) |
| Adjusted resource value | 0.56 | 1.05 |
In addition to the defined Mineral Resource, the project area contains several geophysical conductors and exploration targets along the mineralised trend that may provide potential for additional discoveries. These have not been adequately quantified and have not been included in the Sherlock Bay Mineral Resource Estimate and will add value to the project.
An additional allowance of A$0.60 million has been applied to reflect identified electromagnetic conductors and exploration targets outside the current Mineral Resource. This allowance is modest and is intended to recognise exploration upside not captured within the resource-based valuation."

Total Project Valuation
| Scenario | Low | High |
|---|---|---|
| Adjusted resource value | 0.56 | 1.05 |
| Exploration premium | 0.60 | 0.60 |
| Total project value (100%) | 1.16 | 1.65 |
8.8 Sabre Resources Attributable Value
Sabre Resources Limited holds a 70% interest in the Sherlock Bay Project.
Table 8-6
Sabre Attributable Value
| Scenario | Project Value (100%) | Sabre 70% Interest |
|---|---|---|
| Low case | 1.16 M | 0.81 M |
| High case | 1.65 M | 1.16 M |
The resulting attributable value range for Sabre Resources Limited is therefore:
A$0.81 million to A$1.16 million.

PO Box 473 South Perth WA 6951 – Mobile: +61 4 1234 7511 – Email: [email protected]
Agricola Mining Consultants
The average value across this range is approximately A$0.99 million, which is adopted as the representative valuation outcome for Sabre's interest in the Sherlock Bay Project.
8.9 Conclusion
Application of the Comparable Transactions / Market Yardstick method to the Sherlock Bay Mineral Resource indicates a project valuation range of approximately A$1.16 million to A$1.65 million (100 % basis).
Based on Sabre Resources Limited's 70 % project interest, the attributable value to Sabre is estimated to lie within the range: A$0.81 million to A$1.16 million with an adopted average value of approximately A$0.99 million.
This valuation outcome is considered reasonable having regard to:
- the early development stage of the project
- the relatively modest nickel grade of the deposit
- the absence of feasibility studies
- prevailing nickel market conditions
- the presence of additional exploration potential within the project area.

9. Valuation of the Exploration Ground
Two valuation approaches have been applied:
(i) the Geofactor (Modified Kilburn) Method; and
(ii) the Precedent Transaction Method.
Equal weighting has been applied to derive a blended Technical Value, which forms the basis of the assessed Market Value. For the purposes of this report, 'Technical Value' refers to the blended value derived from the application of both valuation methods.
Valuation Method 1 – Composite Geofactor Method
An explanation of the PEM x Geofactor method is included in an Appendix A. This method assesses value based on:
- Prospective Land area (km²)
- The status of the tenement (Granted or Application)
- Base Holding Cost that represents the expected exploration expenditure for the next year considering the exploration stage and requirements to advance the project.
- An assessment of Geological Environment, Exploration Status, Deposit Model Prospectivity, Infrastructure & Accessibility and Political & ESG Setting (10%)
- An Allowance has been included for each tenement for equity and grant status
- Technical Value = EquityGrantArea*BHC × Composite Geofactor,
For clarity, the PEM based on prior expenditure is not applied separately to the BHC; instead, its conceptual purpose is embedded within the Geofactor weighting (G–E–D–I–P). This prevents double-counting and aligns with modern VALMIN practice.
Valuation Method 2 – Comparable Transaction $/km² Method
Given the large areal extent of several exploration licences and the heterogeneous nature of geological prospectivity, valuation parameters have been applied only to the proportion of each tenement considered reasonably prospective for economic mineralisation. This approach reflects industry practice and avoids overstating value by implicitly attributing prospectivity to non-prospective ground. This method assesses value based on:
- Prospective land area (km²)
- Exploration stage and prospectivity
- Comparable ASX transactions, JV earn-ins, and project acquisitions
- Assessment of exploration stage, work programs, and geotechnical maturity
- An Allowance has been included for each tenement for equity and grant status
- Technical Value = Area × $/km² (Precedent Transactions)

The Market Values have been rounded to reflect risk and uncertainties in the assumptions.
This value is consistent with:
- Strong nickel-copper potential at Sherlock Bay,
- High-priority uranium-REE targets at Dingo,
- Significant exploration upside in the Andover lithium corridor, and
- A large, diversified tenement package across two Tier-1 jurisdictions.
Precedent Valuation Commentary: Sabre vs Brema-Arunta
The precedent valuation results across the two project groups—Sabre Resources’ diversified portfolio and the Brema-Arunta rare-earths and critical metals projects—reflect their fundamentally different geological maturity, exploration expenditure, development pathways, and commodity exposures.
The Brema-Arunta valuation is dominated by large, contiguous tenement blocks with significant historical exploration expenditure (Brema: A$1.749M; North Arunta: A$3.207M; Ngalia: A$0.076M), primarily targeting IOCG, REE, uranium and structurally hosted gold systems. These projects are conceptual to early-stage, with strong geophysical anomalies and demonstrated mineralised systems, but no defined Mineral Resources. Consequently, their technical values are driven by the Composite Geofactor uplift applied to area and Base Holding Cost, producing valuations that are highly sensitive to prospectivity ratings, and reflecting upside potential rather than established value. These assets remain exploration-led rather than resource-led, with valuation ranges broad (+/-20%) and heavily weighted toward geological potential.
In contrast, the Sabre project portfolio contains both greenfields exploration assets
(Dingo/Lake Lewis, Pilbara Lithium, Cave Hill) and one materially advanced project: Sherlock Bay, a 24.6 Mt nickel-copper-cobalt sulphide JORC 2012 Mineral Resource with demonstrated metallurgy and large-scale EM-defined extensions. This single asset introduces a resource-based valuation anchor using Comparable Resource and Yardstick methods, which typically generate stronger and more defensible value ranges than pure exploration-based geofactor methods.
Overall, while Brema-Arunta holds larger-scale exploration ground and stronger REE-uranium conceptual upside, Sabre benefits from a defined sulphide Mineral Resource, substantial sunk expenditure, and diversification across critical metals (Ni-Cu-Co, Li, U,

REE). This difference produces a more balanced and resilient valuation profile for Sabre compared to the higher-risk/higher-reward exploration uplift characteristic of Brema-Arunta.

10. Conclusions
This Independent Technical Assessment and Valuation Report has been prepared in accordance with the VALMIN Code (2015 Edition), the JORC Code (2012 Edition), and relevant ASIC Regulatory Guides. The Report provides a comprehensive review of the mineral assets held by Sabre Resources Ltd, Brema Resources Pty Ltd, and North Tennant Minerals Pty Ltd as at the valuation date of 12 May 2026.
The sensitivity range should not be interpreted as a forecast of value movements, but rather as an indication of reasonable valuation variability around the preferred case.
The mineral assets comprise a diversified portfolio of exploration and advanced projects across Western Australia and the Northern Territory, with prospective geology for nickel sulphide, uranium-vanadium, lithium pegmatite, critical metals, and gold mineralisation. The tenure is considered to be in good standing based on available records, noting that certain tenements remain subject to grant.
Exploration to date has established a strong technical foundation, with multiple targets identified for further drilling and evaluation. The mineralisation styles and geological settings are consistent with regional analogues, supporting the potential for resource delineation.
The valuation methodologies applied are consistent with industry best practice and regulatory requirements, incorporating technical, market, and transactional considerations. The valuation analysis will be presented in detail in the subsequent section of this Report.
The conclusions herein are subject to the assumptions, qualifications, and limitations outlined throughout this Report. Further exploration and technical studies are required to advance the projects towards resource definition and potential development.
In the opinion of the Competent Person, this valuation has been prepared using methodologies appropriate for the stage of development of the mineral assets and is compliant with the VALMIN Code (2015 Edition). The valuation reflects the Market Value of the assets and does not represent a liquidity value, investment value, or special value to any party.

APPENDIX A - Geofactor Method Explained
Introduction
Apart from Sabre’s Sherlock Bay Ni-Cu-Co historical mineral resource, the Sabre exploration ground (Sherlock Pool, Andover East, Widgiemooltha/Cave Hill, Dingo & Lake Lewis), Brema (Kurundi, Buchanan, Frewena, Kelly Well, Outstation) and North Tennant Minerals (North Arunta and Ngalia) projects contain large, early-stage exploration tenement holdings across the Northern Territory. The assets are pre-resource and contain multiple target types including nickel-copper-cobalt ultramafic sulphides, lithium pegmatites, IOCG, iron-oxide related systems, structural gold systems, copper mineralisation, and rare earth-bearing pegmatite and felsic intrusives. The absence of identified JORC Mineral Resources places these assets firmly within the “Exploration Properties” category under the VALMIN Code (2015).
Accordingly, the valuation approach requires methods suitable for pre-resource, high geological-uncertainty assets, namely:
- Geofactor (Modern PEM × G-E-D-I-P) Technical Valuation Method, and
- Comparable Transactions ($-per-km²) Market Benchmarking.
Both methods are accepted under VALMIN (Sections 8.2–8.5) for conceptual and early-stage exploration valuations.
Composite Geofactor Technical Valuation Method
The Composite Geofactor method is an evolution of the historical Kilburn Geoscience Rating System. For modern application, and consistent with recent technical valuations, the method incorporates:
- G – Geological Environment (25%)
- E – Exploration Status (25%)
- D – Deposit Model Prospectivity (20%)
- I – Infrastructure & Accessibility (20%)
- P – Political & ESG Setting (10%)
Each factor is scored typically from 0.5 to 5, then weighted to generate a composite Geofactor (GF) between 0.5 and 5. Under this system, the recommended technical valuation formula is: Technical Value = Area × Estimated Holding Cost × Composite Geofactor
The PEM (Prospectivity Enhancement Multiplier) is now implicitly contained within the G-ED components, rather than being treated as a separate multiplicative factor. Modern valuation practice recommends avoiding a double-counting effect by using only GF, not Expenditure × PEM × GF. This aligns with the VALMIN emphasis on “reasonable grounds” and avoidance of exaggerated values.

Summary of Method Application
- The projects are high geological potential assets in globally recognised terranes.
- Exploration to date has, based on information reviewed, confirmed appropriate targeting but has not yet demonstrated continuity or size potential.
- The Geofactor method captures geological merit, exploration maturity, and ESG/regulatory context.
- The Comparable Transactions method anchors the valuation to observable market behaviour.
- The combination produces a robust, defensible valuation for Independent Expert purposes.
This methodology provides a consistent, VALMIN-compliant framework for determining the value of the Brema and Arunta exploration assets. The use of a dual-method approach ensures that the valuation reflects both the technical attributes of the project portfolio, and the market realities observed from comparable exploration transactions across Australia.
Precedent Transactions Method
The comparable transaction method is used as a cross-check and measures the market value of exploration tenure per km², based on similar exploration projects.

APPENDIX B - Sabre Resources Ltd
Sabre Resources – Geological Setting Summary
Executive Summary
Sabre Resources Ltd holds a diversified portfolio across two highly prospective Australian provinces: the Northern Territory’s Ngalia Basin and Aileron Province (uranium, REE, vanadium, and critical metals), and Western Australia’s Pilbara and Eastern Goldfields (nickel-copper-cobalt sulphides, lithium pegmatites, and orogenic gold). The geological settings demonstrate robust analogues to known mineral systems, including Mt Eclipse Sandstone hosted uranium (Bigrlyi/Camel Flat), LCT pegmatite lithium systems (Andover corridor), komatiitic nickel sulphides (Nepean/Kambalda style), and intrusive/contact-related Ni–Cu–Co sulphides (Sherlock Bay).
Across multiple projects, Sabre has identified strong early indicators of mineralisation: radiometric anomalies over palaeochannels (calcrete uranium potential), IP chargeability in MES sulphidic/carbonaceous horizons, REE-bearing pegmatites with elevated TREO, EM conductors along mineralised corridors, and gold/base-metal anomalous. Collectively, the portfolio supports a moderate-to-high geological prospectivity rating for VALMIN-compliant valuation, with clear drill-ready to near-drill-ready targets in both NT and WA. Key Financial Metrics
- The provided document is geological/technical in nature and does not include financial metrics, valuations, budgets, or cost data.
- No explicit numerical financial information (e.g., NPV, capex/Opex, exploration spend) is stated in this section.
- Action: Financial metrics should be sourced from valuation, expenditure, and resource sections of the broader report.
Material Facts
- Geographic focus and project coverage:
- Northern Territory (Ngalia Basin & Aileron Province)
- Dingo (EL32829, 80%): MES-hosted uranium with strong IP anomalies; REE-bearing pegmatites; critical metals (Cu–Bi–Sn–W).
- Lake Lewis (EL32864, 80%): Paleochannel calcrete uranium potential analogous to Napperby; favourable shallow cover.
- Ngalia Extensions (EL33644, EL33646, 80%): MES exposures and structural extensions; radiometric anomalies; REE and sandstone-hosted U potential.
- Western Australia (Pilbara & Eastern Goldfields)
- Sherlock Bay (M47/567; L47/124, 70%): Ni–Cu–Co sulphide resource area with >1.5 km mineralised horizon; multiple EM conductors SW of resource; intrusive-related and sheared-contact sulphide model.
- Sherlock Pool Joint Venture (Sabre earning 80% in E47/4345) with conceptual extensions and repetitions of the Sherlock Bay Mineral resource.

Agricola Mining Consultants
- Pilbara applications (E47/4990, 4991, 5003, 5030, 5044, etc.): NE-SW pegmatite corridors adjacent/analogous to Andover; buried pegmatites indicated by magnetics.
- Nepean South (E15/1702, 80%): Komatiitic ultramafics prospective for Ni sulphides; gold anomalism near granite contact.
-
Cave Hill (E15/1844, E15/1959, 80%): ~100 km of greenstones with lithium, nickel, and gold potential; prioritised sub-areas identified.
-
Geological analogues and indicators:
- Mt Eclipse Sandstone: redox-sensitive host to roll-front/tabular uranium; thick (locally >2,000 m) with carbonaceous/sulphidic units; strong IP responses.
- REE pegmatites: LCT-type features in structural corridors; elevated TREO values noted in broader reporting (not quantified in this section).
- EM, IP, radiometrics: Coherent geophysical signatures support target delineation across projects.
Risk Factors
- Early-stage nature: The section focuses on geological prospectivity; limited direct mention of drilling density, resource status (except Sherlock Bay vicinity), or metallurgical outcomes.
- Under cover/structure: Several targets are inferred from geophysics and structural interpretation (e.g., buried pegmatites, SW Sherlock Bay conductors), implying uncertainty pending drilling.
- Tenure and access: Not detailed in this section; applications and heritage/access considerations should be confirmed in tenure sections for valuation.
- Data completeness: Quantitative assay and geophysical parameters are referenced but not tabulated here; reliance on broader report for detailed datasets.
Conclusions
- Geological merit: The Sabre portfolio spans multiple proven metallogenic systems with strong analogues (Bigrlyi/Camel Flat for U, Andover for Li pegmatites, komatiitic Ni, and intrusive/contact sulphides at Sherlock Bay). Evidence includes radiometric anomalies, IP chargeability, EM conductors, and documented lithological/structural controls.
- Prospectivity rating: Moderate-to-high geological prospectivity is supported across the NT and WA projects, justifying continued exploration and supporting valuation via exploration-stage methodologies (e.g., Composite Geofactor and $/km² comparables).
- Next steps for valuation context:
- Correlate these geological findings with project-by-project exploration results, expenditure history, and Geofactor scoring.
- Maintain clear separation between resource-based valuation (if applicable) and exploration ground valuation to avoid double counting.

Agricola Mining Consultants
Sabre Resources has advanced a multi-commodity exploration portfolio across the Northern Territory (NT) and Western Australia (WA), with programs focused on uranium/REE/critical metals (NT) and nickel-copper-cobalt/lithium/gold (WA). The most advanced asset is Sherlock Bay (Pilbara, WA), which hosts a JORC (2012) Mineral Resource and has benefited from ongoing drilling, EM surveys, and metallurgical testwork. NT projects (notably Dingo) have progressed to near drill-ready status through systematic geophysics, geochemistry, and mapping, while other assets (Lake Lewis, Ngalia extensions, Andover East/NE, Cave Hill) remain at early to intermediate exploration stages.
From a valuation perspective, the portfolio displays a spread of maturities: a resource-stage anchor at Sherlock Bay suitable for resource-based valuation methods, and multiple exploration-stage projects appropriate for Composite Geofactor and $/km² benchmarking. Several prospects now have sufficient technical advancement to support uplift in Geofactor “E” (Exploration Status), subject to verification of expenditure and data. Main Points Relevant to Valuation
- Portfolio Scope and Maturity: NT: Dingo (advanced to drill-ready with multiple defined targets), Lake Lewis (early-stage calcrete U-V), Ngalia extensions (early-stage; MES-hosted U-V potential), North Arunta corridor (advanced conceptual; no Sabre drilling to date).
-
WA: Sherlock Bay (JORC resource; recent drilling/EM/metallurgy), Andover East/NE (EL applications; pre-grant targeting), Nepean South (historic and Sabre drilling; Ni and Au anomalism), Cave Hill (soil anomalies; rationalised to prospective areas), other Pilbara/Widgiemooltha ELs (conceptual/desktop).
-
Technical Progress
- Dingo: GAIP defined four chargeability anomalies in MES; 42 rock chips with elevated TREO (up to 1,364 ppm), U (to 169 ppm), W (to 665 ppm), Bi, Sn, Cu; soil grids completed; mapping, based on information reviewed, confirmed MES under shallow cover with structural controls.
- Sherlock Bay: 24.6 Mt @ 0.40% Ni, 0.09% Cu, 0.02% Co; 2022–2023 drilling intersected massive/semi-massive sulphides; DHEM identified strong conductors; 2024–2025 AC drilling defined an 800 m Cu–Ni–Co trend open to SW; metallurgy produced concentrates up to 12.8% Ni.
- Nepean South: RC drilling intersected saprolitic Ni with elevated Cu; historical RAB based on information reviewed, confirmed Au anomalism at granite–ultramafic contact; further drilling planned.
- Andover East/NE: Structural targeting and field mapping of pegmatites; geophysics planned post-grant.
-
Cave Hill: Soil programs delineated Au anomalies within greenstones; tenure rationalised to prioritise prospective zones.

Sabre Resources – Exploration Potential Summary
Executive Summary
Sabre Resources holds a multi-commodity exploration portfolio across the Northern Territory (NT) and Western Australia (WA), prospective for uranium–vanadium (U–V), rare earth elements (REE), nickel–copper–cobalt (Ni–Cu–Co) sulphides, lithium-bearing pegmatites, and gold. The tenement package (~1,616 km²) is positioned along proven metallogenic corridors with strong geological analogues, verified geophysical responses, and multiple geochemical indications. The Sherlock Bay project provides a resource-stage anchor with significant untested electromagnetic (EM) strike, while NT projects (Dingo, Lake Lewis, Ngalia) and WA lithium/gold targets (Andover East/NE, Nepean South, Cave Hill, Widgiemooltha) offer exploration upside.
Overall portfolio exploration potential is assessed as High. For valuation, exploration-stage methods (Composite Geofactor and $/km² market comparables) are appropriate for most assets, with resource-based methods reserved for Sherlock Bay. Valuation ranges should reflect project maturity, tenure status (including applications), and commodity market risk.

APPENDIX C - Brema Resources Pty Ltd & North Tennant Minerals Pty Ltd
Brema and North Tennant – Geological Setting Summary
1) Executive Summary
The Brema Resources and North Tennant Minerals portfolios occupy highly prospective Proterozoic terrains in the Northern Territory, aligned with major mineralised provinces and models.
Brema’s East Tennant Ridge ground sits immediately east of the Tennant Creek Mineral Field (TCMF), a premier IOCG district, and exhibits coincident gravity–magnetic anomalies, shallow cover, and geochemical leakage consistent with buried ironstone bodies (Kurundi) and large-scale IOCG systems (Buchanan). Surface copper in calcrete/silcrete at Frewena Dam may represent supergene leakage from concealed basement mineralisation.
North Tennant’s North Arunta project straddles a key terrane boundary; structural continuations of the Kroda shear corridor and historical high-grade gold intersections in the vicinity (e.g., 12 m @ 15.69 g/t Au) support orogenic gold and Tennant Creek–style Cu–Au potential. The NTM Ngalia package includes Mt Eclipse Sandstone (MES) hosting Peristyle U–V mineralisation and calcrete uranium potential along basin margins.
From a valuation standpoint, these geological attributes support high exploration prospectivity with credible deposit analogues, shallow target depths in places, and multiple geophysical–geochemical vectors. However, the predominantly under-cover, pre-drilling status elevates uncertainty, requiring conservative valuation ranges using exploration-stage methods (e.g., Composite Geofactor and $/km² comparables), with explicit allowance for tenure, access, and data sufficiency risks.
2) Key Findings
- East Tennant Ridge (Brema):
- Strong IOCG/Tennant Creek analogues; MinEx CRC identifies corridor as highly prospective.
- Kurundi: Coincident gravity–magnetic highs; geochemical leakage (Zn to 1,143 ppm; Cu to 136 ppm); cover locally <100–160 m.
- Buchanan: 40 km structural corridor; coincident gravity–magnetic highs; shallow basement modelled to ~132 m; large IOCG “jog” zone.
Frewena Dam: Surface calcrete/silcrete with Cu up to 62.5% (pXRF); gravity/magnetic support and E–W structures—conceptual IOCG basement targets.
- North Arunta (North Tennant):
- Continuation of Kroda shear corridor; historic intercepts include 12 m @ 15.69 g/t Au (Kroda 3 along strike from the tenements) and 9 m @ 1.6 g/t Au (Kroda 2 within the tenements).

Agricola Mining Consultants
○ NW-trending structures into tenure; gravity highs may indicate mafic intrusions/IOCG alteration.
- Ngalia Basin (North Tennant):
○ The Eclipse Sandstone is present (Bigrlyi host) in EL33640, EL33873; calcrete U potential on southern margin (EL33641).
○ Structural complexity and basin-margin redox interfaces support U–V and base metal/REE potential. 3) Financial/Quantitative Data - Geochemical indicators (Kurundi): up to 1,143 ppm Zn; 136 ppm Cu (soil/near-surface leakage).
- Cover depth (Kurundi): locally <100–160 m (2.5D modelling).
- Basement depth (Buchanan): ~132 m (shallow) vs >400 m regionally (favourable).
- Historic drilling (adjacent/nearby, North Arunta):
○ 12 m @ 15.69 g/t Au (Kroda 3) ○ 9 m @ 1.6 g/t Au (Kroda 2) - Surface Cu (Frewena Dam): up to 62.5% Cu by pXRF in calcrete/silcrete material.
4) Qualitative Factors
-
Geological analogues:
○ Tennant Creek ironstone-hosted Cu–Au–Bi systems (Warramunga Formation); IOCG analogues (Olympic Dam style) at scale.
○ Orogenic gold along brittle-ductile shears (Kroda corridor); iron-oxide alteration and competency contrasts.
○ Ngalia Basin MES-hosted U–V (Bigrlyi-style) and calcrete uranium systems (Napperby/Cappers analogues). -
Target quality:
○ Multiple coincident geophysical indicators (gravity–magnetics); favourable structural architecture (NW–SE, “jog” zones).
○ Shallow interpreted depths at key targets could reduce drilling cost/risk. -
Stage and data quality:
○ Many targets are pre-drilling and rely on geophysics/geochemistry under cover.
pXRF Cu highs at surface (Frewena Dam) require laboratory confirmation and geological context. -
Access/tenure:
○ Not detailed here, likely standard NT exploration conditions with Central Land Council engagement and access agreements required -
Opportunity:

PO Box 473 South Perth WA 6951 – Mobile: +61 4 1234 7511 – Email: [email protected]
Agricola Mining Consultants
○ First-mover nature in an emerging IOCG corridor with strong federal/state geoscience backing (MinEx CRC/GA).
5) Valuation Implications
-
Methods: Appropriate to apply exploration-stage valuation approaches:
○ Composite Geofactor (G–E–D–I–P) using verified historical expenditure per project.
○ Market comparables ($/km²) for NT IOCG, orogenic gold, and uranium plays, adjusted for cover depth, maturity, and structural/analogue strength. -
Prospectivity weighting:
○ Kurundi and Buchanan: High prospectivity due to strong coincident geophysics, favourable depths, and credible analogues—likely higher Geofactor scores (G, D) and possibly E if datasets are comprehensive.
○ Frewena: Moderate–High pending geophysics refinement and lab confirmation of copper; assign conservative E and D weights until basement targets are better constrained.
○ North Arunta: High, supported by nearby/along-strike high-grade gold results and structural continuity—strong D and G factors; E depends on in-tenure drilling.
○ Ngalia: Moderate (to Moderate–High for MES-hosted U–V) given basin margin redox and structural controls; elevate as radiometric/ground truthing advances. -
Risk adjustments:
○ Under-cover targeting, limited drilling, and potential land access timing should be reflected in wider valuation ranges and conservative P-factor (permitting/ESG) scoring where applicable.
Brema and North Tennant – Mineral System Models and Prospectivity Summary
1) Executive Summary
The document outlines the mineral system models applicable to Brema Resources and North Tennant Minerals’ NT portfolios and provides a project-by-project prospectivity assessment. It identifies high to very high geological potential for Tennant Creek–style and IOCG systems at Kurundi and Buchanan, respectively, with additional opportunities in orogenic gold (North Arunta) and uranium systems (Ngalia Basin), informing exploration-stage valuation approaches.
2) Main Findings (critical points impacting valuation)
- Tennant Creek–style IOCG potential (Kurundi; also applicable in North Arunta): Presence of ironstone-hosted Cu–Au–Bi models associated with NW–SE brittle-ductile faults supports high Geofactor ratings for Geological Environment (G) and Deposit Model (D).
- Olympic Dam–style IOCG (Buchanan): Large, coincident gravity/magnetic anomalies and structural jogs suggest very high-scale targets, implying strong upside potential but also elevated exploration risk and cost (depth/scale).

PO Box 473 South Perth WA 6951 – Mobile: +61 4 1234 7511 – Email: [email protected]
Agricola Mining Consultants
- Orogenic gold (North Arunta): Structural continuity (Kroda corridor) and typical orogenic features (quartz-arsenopyrite veining, sheared metasediments) underpin high prospectivity for gold discovery under cover.
- Sedimentary and calcrete uranium (Ngalia): MES roll-front/tabular U and paleochannel calcrete models are present, offering moderate prospectivity with clear geophysical/radiometric targeting criteria.
- Prospectivity rankings:
- Kurundi: High (ironstone Cu–Au)
- Buchanan: Very High (major IOCG system)
- Frewena Dam: Moderate–High (surface Cu leakage; conceptual basement target)
- North Arunta: High (orogenic Au and Tennant Creek–style Cu–Au)
- Ngalia Basin: Moderate (Uranium), with conceptual Cu–Pb–Zn and REE potential
3) Financial Highlights
- No explicit financial data, budgets, capex/Opex estimates, NPVs, or $/km² market comparables are included in the document.
- Numerical data present only as qualitative prospectivity rankings; no dollar values or resource tonnages are provided.
- Action: For valuation, project-level exploration expenditure and comparable transaction benchmarks will be required from other sources. 4) Risk Factors
- Early stage/under-cover risk: Prospectivity assessments rely on geophysical/geochemical signatures and analogues; limited drilling increases uncertainty.
- Model uncertainty: IOCG systems can be deep, costly to test; dependence on gravity/magnetics may increase targeting risk without 3D inversions and follow-up.
- Uranium model execution risk: Radiometric anomalies require confirmation; calcrete U is sensitive to near-surface hydrology and may be discontinuous.
- Data sufficiency: The summary lacks assay detail, drilling results within tenure, and depth-to-target confidence intervals (beyond qualitative statements); verification needed.
5) Assumptions
- Geological analogues: Prospectivity is inferred from similarities to Tennant Creek ironstone systems and Olympic Dam–style IOCG, assuming comparable structural controls and alteration footprints.
- Geophysical interpretations: Coincident gravity/magnetic anomalies and structural jogs are assumed to represent mineral system footprints or alteration zones.
- Uranium models: Presence of porous sandstones (MES), redox fronts, and palaeochannels is assumed to be prospective; radiometric anomalies are proxy indicators.
- Access and tenure: Implicit assumption that exploration access and permitting can be obtained (not assessed here). 6) Relevance to Valuation

PO Box 473 South Perth WA 6951 – Mobile: +61 4 1234 7511 – Email: [email protected]
Agricola Mining Consultants
- Method selection: The exploration stage and absence of JORC resources dictate use of Composite Geofactor (G–E–D–I–P) and Comparable Transactions ($/km²) methods under VALMIN.
- Geofactor implications:
- Kurundi and Buchanan likely attract higher G and D scores due to strong IOCG/Tennant Creek analogues and coherent geophysical signatures.
- Frewena Dam merits moderate E and D scores until basement targets are further constrained (surface leakage noted).
- North Arunta earns high D and G scores based on structural continuity with known gold corridors; E depends on work completed within tenure.
- Ngalia Basin assigned moderate D with potential uplift as radiometric targets are advanced and testing progresses.
- Valuation ranges: Uncertainty remains high due to limited drilling; ranges should reflect cover depth, target maturity, and access/permitting progress once verified.
- Portfolio balance: The mix of IOCG and orogenic Au with uranium opportunities provides commodity diversification, potentially stabilising portfolio risk in valuation weightings.
Brema & North Tennant – Exploration History & Results Summary
1) Executive Overview
This document summarizes historical and recent exploration across Brema Resources’ East Tennant projects and North Tennant Minerals’ North Arunta and Ngalia packages. The datasets (geophysics, geochemistry, limited historical drilling nearby) demonstrate multiple high-quality IOCG, Tennant Creek–style Cu–Au, orogenic gold, and uranium targets at an early exploration stage, with several prospects deemed drill-ready. The information supports application of exploration-stage valuation methods (Composite Geofactor and $/km²) comparables) with ranges reflecting under-cover and pre-drilling uncertainties.
2) Key Findings
- East Tennant (Brema)
- Kurundi: Coincident drone magnetics and ground gravity map ironstone-style targets; soil geochemistry returns Cu (to 136 ppm in cover) and pathfinder suite (Zn, Bi, Co, Ag, Pb); target depths modelled to 70–160 m. 5 km Bluebird-style Cu–Au corridor identified; no drilling to date.
- Buchanan: 15 km × 5 km coincident gravity–magnetic corridor; multiple targets (G1, G2, M1, M2) with shallow basement (~132 m vs >400 m regionally), consistent with major IOCG systems (Olympic Dam analogue). No drilling to date.
- Frewena Dam: Surface calcrete/silcrete Cu up to 62.5% (pXRF; average ~19% in nodules) suggests leakage from basement Cu–Au system; gravity, soils and E–W structures define conceptual drill targets; further geophysics recommended.

MINING CONSULTANTS
- North Arunta (NTMI) o Historical operators (1986–2020) delineated and drilled along the Kroda shear corridor proximal to/into NTMI ground, with significant gold intercepts:
12 m @ 15.69 g/t Au (Kroda 3); 9 m @ 1.6 g/t Au incl. 3 m @ 3.87 g/t Au (Anomaly C2); 6 m @ 3.5 g/t Au (Kroda 2).
Airborne EM identified the ~2 km Emma conductor; RC drilling intersected pyritic sulphides with anomalous Au + Cu.
○ Reprocessed geophysics and geochemistry (e.g., 10 km × 6 km As anomaly at Tulsa) indicate drill-ready targets; structural projections continue into NTMI licences.
- Ngalia (NTMI)
○ Radiometric anomalies and preserved Mt Eclipse Sandstone (Bigrlyi host) within EL33640 and EL33873; calcrete uranium potential on the southern margin (EL33641) analogous to Napperby/Cappers.
○ No NTMI drilling to date; recent work focused on target definition and compilation.
3) Critical Data Points
| Area/Project | Work Completed / Results | Notes/Implications |
|---|---|---|
| Kurundi (Brema) | Drone magnetics; ground gravity; soils (Cu to 136 ppm; Zn/Bi/Co/Ag/Pb); target depth 70–160 m | Ironstone/Tennant Creek-style; untested by drilling |
| Buchanan (Brema) | Gravity + magnetics; targets G1/G2/M1/M2; basement depth ~132 m | Large IOCG corridor; greenfields; no drilling |
| Frewena Dam (Brema) | pXRF Cu up to 62.5% in calcrete/silcrete; gravity/soils; E-W structures | Conceptual IOCG leakage; further geophysics needed |
| North Arunta (NTMI) | Historic drilling: 12 m @ 15.69 g/t Au (Kroda 3); 9 m @ 1.6 g/t Au etc.; EM conductor (Emma) | Structural continuity; drill ready targets |
| Ngalia (NTMI) | Radiometric anomalies; MES presence; calcrete U potential | U-V and calcrete U models; no drilling to date |

Agricola Mining Consultants
Additional historical work: SkyTEM (palaeochannels), 17 rotary mud holes with anomalous U (to 62 eU ppm), and broad geochem (U, Cu, Pb, Zn, Mo) mapping structural contacts.
4) Observations and Considerations
- Stage and data quality:
- Brema targets are pre-drilling but well constrained by coincident gravity–magnetics and soils; shallow modelled depths at Kurundi/Buchanan are favourable for cost-effective testing.
- North Arunta benefits from significant historical drilling immediately along strike, increasing confidence in structural projections into NTMI tenure.
-
Ngalia work is early stage; radiometric anomalies and MES presence support conceptual U models; calcrete potential adds near-surface target type.
-
Methodologies and comparability:
-
Use exploration valuation methods (Composite Geofactor and $/km²). Assign higher G and D factors to Kurundi/Buchanan and North Arunta given strong analogues and geophysical/structural coherence; E factors remain moderate without in-tenure drilling.
-
Risks and limitations:
- pXRF Cu at Frewena requires laboratory assay confirmation for valuation reliance.
- Absence of in-tenure drilling across Brema’s projects increases geological uncertainty.
- Under-cover targeting elevates exploration risk; budget and program visibility will influence E-factor scoring.
-
Tenure/access, heritage approvals, and minimum expenditure compliance not detailed here; must be verified for valuation.
-
Assumptions:
- Gravity–magnetic anomalies reflect IOCG/ironstone bodies; structural jogs localize mineralisation.
- Kroda corridor structures continue into NTMI licences; radiometric anomalies reflect U mineralisation potential.
5) Recommendations for Valuation Report Inclusion
- Emphasize Kurundi and Buchanan as flagship IOCG/Tennant Creek targets with shallow interpreted depths and coincident geophysics; present as high prospectivity with conservative ranges due to no drilling.
- Highlight North Arunta’s strong orogenic gold case, referencing significant nearby intercepts and structural continuity into tenure; classify as high prospectivity with drill ready targets.
- Present Ngalia as moderate prospectivity with clear models (MES roll-front/tabular U and calcrete U); outline next steps to de-risk targets.
- Required for Composite Geofactor and $/km² application:

PO Box 473 South Perth WA 6951 – Mobile: +61 4 1234 7511 – Email: [email protected]
Agricola Mining Consultants
- Verified historical exploration expenditure by tenement/project (audited where available).
- Tenure status (grant vs application), heritage/access agreements, and compliance standing.
- Laboratory assay data for Frewena Cu and any recent work not captured here.
- Planned work programs, budgets, and timelines to refine E-factor and near-term catalysts.
- Flag that no financial metrics (capex/Opex/NPV) or resource estimates are present; valuation will rely on exploration methods and market comparables with uncertainty bands appropriate to stage.
Brema and North Tennant – Exploration Potential Summary
Executive Summary
This document evaluates the exploration potential of Brema Resources (East Tennant Ridge, NT) and North Tennant Minerals (North Arunta and Ngalia Basin, NT). It concludes that Kurundi and Buchanan (Brema) and North Arunta (NTMI) exhibit High exploration potential for Tennant Creek–style and IOCG systems based on coincident gravity–magnetic signatures, supportive geochemistry, favourable structural settings, and shallow modelled target depths (approximately 70–280 m). Frewena Dam is assessed as Moderate–High, pending additional geophysics, and Ngalia Basin as Moderate given limited drilling but strong conceptual support for sedimentary and calcrete uranium systems.
The assessment aligns with VALMIN (2015) requirements (Clauses 7.3, 8.3, 8.4), explicitly noting the conceptual nature of conclusions, the evidence base, and the need to present valuation as ranges. These findings support the application of exploration-stage valuation methods (Composite Geofactor and $/km² comparables) with conservative risk adjustments for under-cover targets and data sufficiency.
Key Findings and Data Points Relevant to Valuation
- Kurundi (Brema) – High exploration potential:
- Coincident gravity highs with magnetic highs/lows consistent with buried ironstone bodies (Tennant Creek analogue).
- Multi-element soil anomalous: Cu up to 136 ppm; Zn up to 1,143 ppm with Bi, Co, Pb, Au support.
- Modelled depths to targets: ~70–160 m (RC-accessible).
- Structural setting mirrors Davenport Event NW–SE controls.
- Buchanan (Brema) – High exploration potential:
- 15 km × 5 km coincident gravity–magnetic corridor; “magnetic worms” (magnetite–hematite alteration) and paleo-high ridge in basement.
- Modelled target depths: ~132–280 m; shallower than many East Tennant areas (>400 m).
- IOCG scale comparable to Olympic Dam (analogue noted in IM).
- Frewena Dam (Brema) – Moderate–High:

- Gravity/magnetics present but require refinement, no drilling to date.
- North Arunta (NTMI) – High:
- Presence of Bullion Schist (Warramunga equivalent); along-strike of Kroda Corridor high-grade gold (e.g., 12 m @ 15.69 g/t Au).
- Geochemical/geophysical support: vacuum/RAB anomalies to 1.53 g/t Au; 9 m @ 1.6 g/t Au; 6 m @ 3.5 g/t Au; 14 km As–Cu–Au anomaly at Tulsa.
- Gravity/magnetics indicate iron-enriched targets; IOCG and orogenic Au conceptual models supported.
- Ngalia Basin (NTMI) – Moderate:
- Models: MES roll-front/tabular uranium and calcrete uranium; additional Cu–Pb–Zn and REE conceptual potential.
- Supporting indicators: radiometric anomalies; basin architecture from historical Toro/Areva work.
- Limitation: sparse drilling; model-based potential predominates.
Assumptions, Limitations, Qualifications
- VALMIN compliance:
- Conclusions are conceptual and do not imply Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves (JORC 2012).
- Reasonableness of exploration potential grounded in accepted models, regional datasets (NTGS/GA), and coincident geophysical–geochemical evidence (VALMIN 7.3).
- Valuation should be expressed as ranges reflecting uncertainty (VALMIN 8.4, 8.6).
- Key uncertainties:
- Depth to basement under cover (notably in parts of East Tennant and Ngalia). Lack of drilling across most primary targets.
- Structural complexity may not be fully resolved; heritage/access negotiations (e.g., Kurundi North ELA).
- Variable quality in some historical datasets (North Arunta).

Derived Market Yardstick (Recent Transactions)
The transaction datasets presented include a range of commodities, jurisdictions and deal structures. These are used as indicative market benchmarks only and have been applied with appropriate professional judgement rather than as direct like-for-like comparables.
Using the above transactions and removing the outliers (large strategic deals):
| Exploration Stage | Typical Range A$/km² (Recent Market) |
|---|---|
| Conceptual / Tenement generation | 1,500 – 4,000 |
| Grassroots exploration | 3,000 – 8,000 |
| Surface anomalies identified | 6,000 – 12,000 |
| Defined targets / drilling stage | 10,000 – 25,000 |
Updated Market Transaction Benchmark
To confirm that the exploration property valuation yardsticks remain representative of the current Australian exploration market, a review of more recent exploration property transactions (2019–2025) was undertaken.
The review included acquisitions, farm-in agreements and tenement purchases reported by ASX-listed companies across Western Australia,
Queensland and South Australia. These transactions indicate consideration values typically ranging from approximately A$1,500/km² for conceptual ground to more than A$10,000/km² for areas with defined exploration targets.
These results are broadly consistent with the historical transaction dataset compiled for this report, supporting the continued applicability of the adopted exploration stage valuation ranges.

APPENDIX F: Market Benchmarks – Supporting Transaction Dataset
The valuation ranges presented in Section 8.5 were derived from a review of public market transactions involving nickel sulphide exploration and development projects announced on the ASX, TSX and AIM between approximately 2015 and 2024.
For each transaction the following information was compiled:
- project and jurisdiction
- transaction value
- attributable nickel resource or inventory
- equivalent nickel grade where applicable
- stage of development
- implied enterprise value per tonne of contained nickel equivalent (A$/t NiEq)
Where necessary, adjustments were applied to normalise the transactions for comparability.
Normalisation Method
The following adjustments were applied when deriving the benchmark multiples:
1. Commodity Normalisation
Where deposits reported Ni-Cu-Co or Ni-Cu-PGE resources, metal values were converted to NiEq using typical long-term price ratios.
Typical assumptions used:
| Metal | Price assumption | Conversion |
|---|---|---|
| Nickel | US$20,000/t | base |
| Copper | US$9,000/t | Cu × 0.45 |
| Cobalt | US$30,000/t | Co × 1.50 |
Result: NiEq % = Ni % + (Cu % × 0.45) + (Co % × 1.50)
2. Ownership Adjustment
Where the acquisition involved less than 100% ownership, the transaction value was grossed up to a 100% project basis.
Example: Acquire 70% for A$35M → Normalised project value = A$50M
3. Cash / Debt Adjustment
Enterprise value was used where possible: EV = Market Cap + Debt – Cash
Where only purchase price was disclosed, that figure was used as EV.

PO Box 473 South Perth WA 6951 – Mobile: +61 4 1234 7511 – Email: [email protected]
4. Resource Normalisation
Contained nickel equivalent calculated as:
$$
\text{Contained}\backslash\text{NiEq} = \text{Resource}\backslash\text{Tonnes} \times \text{NiEq}\backslash\text{Grade}
$$
Value metric used:
$$
\text{A}\backslash\text{S}/\text{t}\backslash\text{NiEq} = \text{Enterprise}\backslash\text{Value} \div \text{Contained}\backslash\text{NiEq}
$$

Observed Market Range
From the dataset above:
| Development Stage | Observed Range |
|---|---|
| Feasibility / near development | A$75 – A$95 / t NiEq |
| Defined resource projects | A$30 – A$60 / t NiEq |
| Early-stage resources | A$5 – A$20 / t NiEq |
These ranges are consistent with the benchmarks presented in Section 8.5 of the report .
Application to Sherlock Bay
Sherlock Bay is characterised by:
- early-stage development
- limited drilling density
- absence of feasibility study
- modest grade relative to peer deposits
Accordingly, the project was assessed using the lower undeveloped resource range.
Adopted valuation multiple: A$8 – A$15 per tonne NiEq
This range falls within the lower quartile of observed early-stage nickel sulphide transactions, reflecting both geological risk and development stage.
