A proxy may decide whether to vote on any motion except where the proxy is required by law or the Constitution to vote, or abstain from voting, in their capacity as a proxy. If a proxy is directed how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may vote on that item only in accordance with that direction. If a proxy is not directed how to vote on an item of business, a proxy may vote how he or she thinks fit.

The Constitution provides that a proxy form issued by the Company may provide that where the appointment of a proxy has not identified the person who may exercise it, the appointment will be deemed to be given in favour of the Chair of the meeting who may either act as proxy or complete the proxy appointment by inserting the name or names of one or more Directors or the secretary.

If a Shareholder appoints the Chair of the meeting as the Shareholder’s proxy and does not specify how the Chair is to vote on an item of business, the Chair will vote, as a proxy for that Shareholder, in favour of the item on a poll.

The Notice of Meeting, which is also enclosed, sets out details of proposals concerning the Resolutions to be put to Shareholders.

The Directors recommend Shareholders read the accompanying Notice of Meeting and this Explanatory Statement in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions.

Unless otherwise defined, terms used in this Explanatory Statement are defined in the Glossary forming part of this Explanatory Statement.

1. Background to all Resolutions

1.1 Convertible Notes

On 8 December 2025, the Company announced to ASX that it had received firm commitments to raise $3.2 million before costs from sophisticated and professional investors through the issue of convertible notes ( Notes ) subject to shareholder approval. The Company has entered into a Convertible Note Deed Poll pursuant to the capital raising in that announcement, on the following terms:

Summary of key terms

  • (a) The Notes are unsecured convertible notes that may be converted into shares as described below, each having an issue price (face value) of $25,000 and a term of 30 months ( Maturity Date ).

  • (b) If converted at the request of any investor at any time during the term:

  • (i) if converted within 16 weeks of the receipt of funds, $0.04; or

  • (ii) the Conversion Date is more than 16 weeks of the receipt of funds, the lower of $0.04 and the amount equal to a 20% discount to the VWAP of the Company's Shares traded on the ASX in the 15 trading days prior to the conversion date (being 3 business days after the Company receives a conversion notice from the investor).

  • (c) The Company also has an election to require conversion of the Notes in the following circumstances:

  • (i) If, at any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Company’s Shares trade on the ASX above $0.10 for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days ( Price Period ), with an average daily trading volume of at least $50,000 across those days, the Company may (at its sole discretion) within 14 days of the end of the Price Period, elect to Convert some or all Notes on issue and in that event, the conversion price is the lower of $0.04 and the amount equal to a 20% discount to the VWAP of the Company's Shares traded on the ASX in the 15 trading days prior to the Conversion Date (being not more than 14 days after the Price Period; or

  • (ii) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company will Convert all the notes on issue no later than 7 days of a Change in Control (a bidder acquiring a relevant interest in 90% or more of the Company's voting shares or a scheme of arrangement receives the required court approval), at a conversion price of the lower of $0.04 and the price per Share offered under the transaction giving rise to the change of control.

  • (d) In lieu of interest, the Company will issue a total of 83,333,400 Options ( Attaching Options ) pro rata to the convertible note investors. The Attaching Options are exercisable at $0.05

6

each and expire on the date that is 30 months after receipt of subscription funds. Their detailed terms are set out in Schedule 1. This is the subject of Resolution 2.

  • (e) The notes are not redeemable at the instance of the investor before the maturity date, but the Company may, at its election, redeem (by repayment in cash) some or all of the notes early by:

  • (i) Paying the investor an amount equal to Aggregate Face Value of the Notes being Redeemed plus 20% ( Early Redemption Value ); and

  • (ii) Issuing new Attaching Options to the Investor equal to the number issued when the notes were issued.

  • (f) Each of the Directors of the Company, have agreed to participate in the Note issue to an aggregate $500,000, by setting off part of the balances of loans owed by the Company to each of them. This is the subject of Resolution 5.

  • (g) The Deed Poll contains typical administrative clauses, indemnities and warranties, including an undertaking by the Company to consult with the Lead Manager before agreeing to sell any material assets and to redeem the notes upon an event of default, being primarily a failure to pay any amount in relation to a note, when due or the Company becoming insolvent.

  • (h) Upon any reorganisation of the Company's capital, ( Reorganisation Event ) the number of Shares into which notes convert will be adjusted in accordance with all applicable laws so that the investor will not receive a benefit that the holders of Shares do not receive as a consequence of the Reorganisation Event, and vice versa, and otherwise in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules.

  • (i) Under the notes, investors do not receive any voting rights (except as implied by the Corporations Act) or any right to participate in new issues of securities except in relation to notes that are converted before the record date of any equity issue.

  • (j) The Company is able to elect to receive some or all of the underlying funds as a loan pending receipt of shareholder approval. The issue of the convertible notes and options is to occur shortly after receipt of shareholder approval is obtained. If shareholder approval is not obtained, any funds received by the Company in the interim is repayable with interest at the rate of 7% from the date of receipt until the date of repayment.

Conversion price has no floor after 16 weeks

There is no floor on the conversion price as from the date that is later than 16 weeks from receipt of funds by the Company.

As stated above, from that date, the conversion price is a 20% discount to the 15-business day VWAP of Shares on ASX prior to conversion. In other words, the number of Shares issued on conversion of the Notes is not fixed, but is instead based on the future trading price of Shares on ASX.

This means that the issue of the Notes could end up being highly dilutive to Shareholders if the market price of Shares on the ASX falls substantially over the period through to the date when they are converted. To illustrate this, the following table sets out the number of Shares that will be issued on conversion of the 200 of Convertible Notes having regard to 3 different share price examples. These are merely examples, and different possible outcomes may arise.

1.2 Lead Manager Mandate

'Related party' is widely defined under the Corporations Act and includes directors of a company. 'Financial benefit' is also defined broadly and includes benefits from the public company’s subsidiaries. It is necessary to look at the economic and commercial substance and the effect of the transaction in determining the financial benefit. The Corporations Act requires that any consideration that is given is disregarded in determining whether a financial benefit is given, even if the consideration is adequate.

Each Issue will result in the issue of Notes and Attaching Options (which constitutes the giving of a financial benefit by the Company) to the Related Party Participants, each of whom is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director (or in the case of a Related Party Participant that is a nominee of a Director, by virtue of that nominee being controlled by the Director).

The Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of each Issue because the Notes and Attaching Options will be issued to the Related Party Participant at the same price and on the same terms as the Notes and Attaching Options that are being issued to non-related party investors under the same capital raising and as such, the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

As a financial benefit given on arm's length terms is one of the exceptions contemplated in paragraph (a) above, the approval of Shareholders contemplated in the explanation above is not required.

5.4 ASX Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:

  • (a) Listing Rule 10.11.1 - a related party;

  • (b) Listing Rule 10.11.2 - person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;

  • (c) Listing Rule 10.11.3 - a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;

  • (d) Listing Rule 10.11.4 - an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or

  • (e) Listing Rule 10.11.5 - a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The Issue falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. each Resolution 4, Resolution 5, Resolution 6 and Resolution 7 therefore requires the approval of the Company's Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

If each of Resolution 4, Resolution 5, Resolution 6 and Resolution 7 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Notes and Attaching Options to the Related Party Participant the subject of the Resolution passed, within 1 month after the date of the Meeting. In these circumstances, by operation of Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 14, each Issue to the Related Party Participants will not be included for the purposes of the calculation of the Company’s 15% placement capacity in respect of its Equity Securities.

If any of Resolution 4, Resolution 5, Resolution 6 and Resolution 7 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the Issue to the Related Party Participant in respect of whom the relevant Resolution was not passed, and the Company will not correspondingly reduce the balances of the loans owed by it to the relevant Related Party Participants.

Each of Resolution 4, Resolution 5, Resolution 6 and Resolution 7 is not conditional upon the approval of each other Resolution being obtained. If approval is obtained for some but not all of each of Resolution 4, Resolution 5, Resolution 6 and Resolution 7, the Company may proceed with the Issue to the Related Party Participants for whom the relevant Resolution was approved by Shareholders, but not those whose Resolutions were not approved.

Rolleston West project:

The exercise price of each Option is $0.05.

  • (c)

Expiry

  • The Options will expire on the date that is 30 months from the Issue Date (as defined in this Deed).

  • (d)

Entitlement

  • Each Option entitles the holder to subscribe for one fully paid Share upon exercise of the Option and payment of the exercise price prior to the expiry date.

  • (e)

Terms of Exercise

Options may be exercised only once by:

  • (i) delivering to the Company before 5pm (AEST) on the expiry date the application for Shares on exercise of Options duly executed by the Option holder specifying the number of Options being exercised ( Relevant Number ) ( Notice of Exercise ); and

  • (ii) payment to the Company by electronic funds transfer of an amount equal to the exercise price multiplied by the number of Options being exercised ( Settlement Price ).

A Notice of Exercise is irrevocable once given and is in the form obtainable from the Company's Share Registry.

  • (f)

Issue of Shares

The Company must within 5 business days after the receipt by it of the last of the documents referred to in Section (e) and subject to the receipt by the Company of the Settlement Price:

  • (i) issue to the Option holder the Relevant Number of Shares; and

  • (ii) issue, or cause to be issued, to the Option holder a holding statement for the Relevant Number of Shares.

(g)

Ranking of Shares upon exercise of Options

The Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the Options will be issued as fully paid. Any Shares issued to the Option holder as a result of the exercise of an Option will rank pari passu in all respects with all other Shares then on issue. Shares issued upon the exercise of Options will only carry an entitlement to receive a dividend if they were issued before the record date for that dividend.

(h)

Rights to participate

There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Options and an Option holder will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to holders of Shares without exercising the Options before the record date for determining entitlements to the new issue of capital.

16

(i) Quotation

The Options will not be quoted unless the Company elects otherwise at any time before the expiry date. At the time any Shares are issued upon the exercise of an Option, the Company will apply to ASX for official quotation of the Shares as soon as practicable, and in any event within 2 business days after the date that the Shares are issued.

(j) Capital reorganisation

If, before exercise or expiry of the Options, the Company implements a reorganisation of its capital:

  • (i) all rights of the Option holder are to be changed in a manner consistent with the ASX Listing Rules at the time of the reconstruction;

  • (ii) the Company must notify the Option holder of any proposed variation to the terms of Options no less than 5 “business days” (as defined in the ASX Listing Rules) prior to the date of variation; and

  • (iii) the Company must provide confirmation to the Option holder immediately after the date of variation that the terms of the Options have been varied as proposed.

(k) Bonus issues

A holder of Options does not have the right to participate in “bonus issues” (as defined in the ASX Listing Rules) or new issues of securities offered to Shareholders until Shares are allotted to the holder of the Options pursuant to the exercise of the Options. If there is a bonus issue to holders of Shares, the number of Shares over which an Option is exercisable is increased by the number of Shares which the holder of the Option would have received if the Option had been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue.

(l) Voting

Holders of Options will have no voting rights until the Options are exercised and Shares issued upon exercise of those Options in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules.

  • (m)

Dividends

Holders of Options will have no rights to dividends until the Options are exercised and Shares issued upon exercise of those Options in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules.

(n) Transferability

The Options are transferable subject to any restriction or escrow arrangements imposed by ASX or under applicable Australian securities laws and consent of the Company, which may be given or withheld at its sole discretion.

(o) Variation

Subject to the ASX Listing Rules and applicable law, the terms of the Options may be amended by a special resolution of the Company's Shareholders, provided that such amendment is procedural in nature and does not prejudice the Option holder.

(p) Registered holders

The Company is entitled to treat the holder of an Option as the absolute holder of that Option and is not bound to recognise any equitable or other claim to, or interest in, that Option on the part of any person other than the holder, except as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or as required by statute.
