3 Background

3.1 Overview

On 26 November 2025, the Company announced that it entered into a binding share sale agreement with WIA Gold ( Share Sale Agreement ). Under the terms of the Share Sale Agreement, WIA Gold has agreed to transfer 100% of the issued capital in Glomin Services Ltd ( Glomin ) to the Company ( Glomin Acquisition ).

5

The Company also announced that it had received binding commitments for a placement ( Placement ), comprising of 30,000,000 Shares at $0.20 per Share ( Placement Shares ) to participants in the Placement to raise $6,000,000 (before costs) pursuant to the Placement.

The Glomin Acquisition and the Placement together comprise the Transaction .

3.2 Background to the Glomin Acquisition

(a) Background

Glomin is a company that holds and manages interests in gold exploration projects, primarily in Côte d’Ivoire. Glomin currently holds an 80% interest (through its Australian and Ivoirian subsidiaries) in 4 gold projects (Mankono Project, Bouaflé Project, Bocanda Project and Issia Project) comprising 3 granted exploration permits and 7 applications for exploration permits in Cote d’Ivoire ( Acquisition Projects ).

The corporate structure of Glomin is detailed in Schedule 4.

The 80% interest in Acquisition Projects is held by Glomin indirectly via an 80% interest in 3 Australian subsidiaries ( Subsidiaries ). The Subsidiaries wholly own the Ivorian subsidiaries in Cote d’Ivoire, which directly own the Acquisition Projects. The holders of the remaining 20% interest in the Subsidiaries are unrelated third parties to the Company.

Refer to the Company’s ASX announcement dated 26 November 2025 for further details on the Glomin Acquisition.

(b) Share Sale Agreement Terms

Transaction

The Company will acquire 100% of the issued capital in Glomin.

Consideration

As consideration under the Share Sale Agreement, the Company agreed to issue the following securities to WIA Gold (or its nominees):

  • (i) 20,000,000 Shares ( Consideration Shares ), which are subject to voluntary escrow for a period of 12 months from the completion date of the Share Sale Agreement; and

  • (ii) 8,000,000 performance rights ( Consideration Performance Rights ) that convert into Shares in tranches on the achievement of the following milestones and have the following expiry dates:

Conditions precedent

Completion of the Glomin Acquisition is conditional on the satisfaction (or waiver) of various conditions precedent, including but not limited to:

  • (iii) the Company completing the Placement;

  • (iv) the Company obtaining shareholder approvals for the issue of the Consideration Securities in connection with the Glomin Acquisition;

  • (v) the Company and WIA Gold having obtained any necessary regulatory approvals required under the Corporations Act, ASX Listing Rules or any other Applicable Laws (including, without limitation, the laws of Mauritius and Cote d’Ivoire) to complete the Glomin Acquisition; and

  • (vi) the Company and WIA obtaining all third party consents, waivers or approvals which are necessary to complete the Glomin Acquisition, and all such consents, waivers or approvals remaining valid and in full force.

The material terms of the Share Sale Agreement are summarised in Schedule 2.

Accordingly, Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Consideration Securities to WIA Gold pursuant to the Share Sale Agreement.

Refer to the Company’s ASX announcement dated 26 November 2025 for further information.

3.3 Background to the Placement

The Company has received binding commitments to raise $6,000,000 (before costs) at an issue price of $0.20 per Share to participants in the Placement, subject to Shareholder approval. Argonaut Securities Pty Limited ( Broker ) acted as lead manager to the Placement and will be paid the following fees under the Placement:

  • (a) a management fee of 2% of the gross funds raised (plus GST); and

  • (b) a selling fee of 4% of the gross funds raised (plus GST),

excluding any funds raised directly by the Company up to a maximum of $1,000,000.

The participants in the Placement were a combination of clients of the Broker and investors selected directly by the Company ( Placement Participants ), subject to receipt of Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

Completion of the Placement is a condition precedent to completion of the Share Sale Agreement ( Placement Condition ). Accordingly, if Resolution 2 is not passed at the Meeting, the Company will not be able to satisfy the Placement Condition under the Share Sale Agreement and the Transaction will not proceed. The Placement is not underwritten.

The Placement, combined with existing cash reserves, will provide funding for the Company’s intended exploration program across the Company’s existing projects, as well as the Acquisition Projects.

4 Inter-Conditionality of Resolutions 1 and 2

Resolutions 1 and 2 ( Essential Resolutions ) are inter-conditional, meaning that each of them will only take effect if they are approved by the requisite majority of Shareholder votes at the Meeting.

8

5 Resolution 1 – Issue of Consideration Securities

5.1 General

As detailed in Section 3.2, the Company has agreed to issue the Consideration Securities (comprising up to 20,000,000 Shares and up to 8,000,000 Performance Rights) to WIA Gold as consideration under the Share Sale Agreement.

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Consideration Securities to WIA Gold pursuant to the Share Sale Agreement.

Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 1.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

5.2 Listing Rule 7.1

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 securities it had on issue at the start of that period ( 15% Placement Capacity ).

The issue of the Consideration Securities does not fall within any of the exceptions detailed in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not been approved by Shareholders, will effectively use up part of the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity in Listing Rule 7.1.

Accordingly, Resolution 1 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue the Consideration Securities to WIA Gold for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 (and for all other purposes).

If Resolution 1 and Resolution 2 are passed, and all other conditions precedent to the Glomin Acquisition are satisfied or waived (as applicable)), the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Consideration Securities. In addition, the Consideration Securities will be issued to WIA Gold without using up any of the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 1 or Resolution 2 are not passed, the Consideration Securities will not be issued to WIA Gold and accordingly the Glomin Acquisition will not proceed, as the Glomin Acquisition is conditional on Shareholder approval for the issue of the Consideration Securities.

5.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3

The following information in relation to Resolution 1 is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3.

  • (a) The Consideration Securities will be issued to WIA Gold (or its nominees). WIA Gold is not a Related Party, Key Management Personnel, a substantial shareholder or an advisor of the Company or an associate of one of those persons.

  • (b) The maximum number of:

  • (i) Shares to be issued to WIA Gold pursuant to the Share Sale Agreement is up to 20,000,000 Shares; and

  • (ii) Performance Rights to be issued to WIA Gold pursuant to the Share Sale Agreement is up to 8,000,000 Performance Rights;

  • (c) The Consideration Shares (and the Shares to be issued on conversion of the Consideration Performance Rights) will be fully paid ordinary shares and rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares on issue.

  • (d) The Consideration Securities will be issued no later than three months following the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules).

9

  • (e) The Consideration Shares will be issued at a deemed issue price of $0.20 per Share (being the same issue price as the Shares issued under the Placement).

  • (f) The Consideration Securities will be issued as consideration for the Glomin Acquisition. Accordingly, no funds will be raised from the issue of Consideration Securities pursuant to Resolution 1.

  • (g) A summary of the material terms of the Share Sale Agreement is detailed in Schedule 2 and a summary of the terms and conditions of the Performance Rights is detailed in Schedule 3.

  • (h) A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice for Resolution 1.

5.4 Board Recommendation

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

6 Resolution 2 – Issue of Placement Shares to the Placement Participants

6.1 General

As detailed in Section 3.3, the Company has received binding commitments for the issue of up to 30,000,000 Shares to the Placement Participants at an issue price of $0.20 per Share to raise $6,000,000 (before costs) pursuant to the Placement, subject to the Company obtaining Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of Placement Shares to the Placement Participants under the Placement.

Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution.

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 2.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

6.2 Listing Rule 7.1

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is detailed in Section 5.2.

The issue of the Placement Shares does not fall within any of the exceptions detailed in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not been approved by Shareholders, will effectively use up part of the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity in Listing Rule 7.1.

Accordingly, Resolution 2 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue the Placement Shares to the Placement Participants for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 (and for all other purposes).

If Resolution 2 and Resolution 1 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Placement Shares. In addition, the Placement Shares will be issued to the Placement Participants without using up any of the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 2 or Resolution 1 are not passed, the Placement Shares will not be issued to the Placement Participants under the terms of the Placement and accordingly the Company will not be able to proceed with the Placement and the Transaction. The Glomin Acquisition may also not proceed as the Glomin Acquisition is conditional on completion of the Placement.

6.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3

The following information in relation to Resolution 2 is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3.

  • (a) The Placement Shares will be issued to the Placement Participants. The Placement Participants are not related parties, Key Management Personnel, substantial shareholders or advisors of the Company or an associate of one of those persons. The Placement Participants were selected by the Company in consultation with the Broker, Argonaut Securities Pty Limited.

  • (b) The maximum number of Placement Shares to be issued to the Placement Participants will be up to 30,000,000 Shares.

  • (c) The Placement Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares and rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares on issue.

  • (d) The Placement Shares will be issued no later than three months following the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules).

  • (e) The Placement Shares will be issued at an issue price of $0.20 per Share.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING PROXY FORM

  1. A member entitled to attend and vote at a General Meeting is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies to attend and vote on a poll on their behalf. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. Where more than one proxy is appointed, such proxy must be allocated a proportion of the member’s voting rights. If a member appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify this proportion, each proxy may exercise half the votes. A duly appointed proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company.

  2. If you wish to appoint the Chairperson of the Meeting as your proxy, mark the box. If the person you wish to appoint as your proxy is someone other than the Chairperson of the Meeting, please write the full name of that individual or body corporate in the space provided. If you leave both the box and this section blank, or your named proxy does not attend the meeting, the Chairperson of the Meeting will be your proxy. A proxy need not be a security holder of the Company. A proxy may be an individual or a body corporate. If your appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution and your appointed proxy is not the Chairperson of the meeting and at the meeting a poll is duly demanded on the question that the resolution be passed, then if either your proxy is not recorded as attending the meeting (if a record of attendance is made) or your proxy does not vote on the resolution, the Chairperson is taken, before voting on the resolution closes, to have been appointed as your proxy for the purposes of voting on the resolution at that meeting.

  3. You may direct your proxy how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your securities will be voted in accordance with such a direction, unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the appropriate place. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given item, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote on that item will be invalid. If you direct your proxy how to vote on a particular resolution, the proxy need not vote but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote as directed. If the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution, the proxy must vote as directed. If the proxy is the Chairperson, the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote as directed and if the proxy is not the Chairperson, the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote as directed.

  4. Where a member’s holding is in one name the holder must sign. Where the holding is in more than one name, all members should sign.

  5. Where a Proxy Form of a corporate representative is lodged and is executed under a power of attorney, the power of attorney must be lodged in like manner as this Proxy Form.

  6. Corporate members should comply with the execution requirements set out on the Proxy Form or otherwise with the provisions of Section 127 of the Corporations Act. Section 127 of the Corporations Act provides that a company may execute a document without using its common seal if the document is signed by:

  7. 2 directors of the company;

  8. a director and a company secretary of the company; or

  9. for a proprietary company that has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary – that director.

For the Company to rely on the assumptions set out in Section 129(5) and (6) of the Corporations Act, a document must appear to have been executed in accordance with Section 127(1) or (2). This effectively means that the status of the persons signing the document or witnessing the affixing of the seal must be set out and conform to the requirements of Section 127(1) or (2) as applicable. In particular, a person who witnesses the affixing of a common seal and who is the sole director and sole company secretary of the company must state that next to his or her signature.

  1. Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual members from attending the General Meeting in person if they wish. Where a member completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the General Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that member is suspended while the member is present at the General Meeting.

  2. To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form and return:

  3. (a) in person to C/- Nexia Perth, Level 4, 88 William Street, Perth WA 6000; or

  4. (b) by post to C/- Nexia Perth, GPO Box 2570, Perth WA 6001; or

  5. (c) email to the Company Secretary at [email protected].

so that it is received not later than 1:00pm (WST) on Monday, 5 January 2026.

Proxy forms received later than this time will be invalid.
