Placement

The Company has received firm commitments to raise $1,888,425 through the issue of 125,895,000 new fully paid ordinary shares in the Company ("New Shares") to sophisticated and professional investors at an issue price of $0.015 (1.5 cents) per New Share, with the offer of one (1) free attaching unlisted option ("New Option") for every two (2) New Shares issued. Each New Option will have an exercise price of $0.025 (2.5 cents) entitling the holder to be issued one fully paid ordinary share on exercise of a New Option, and will be able to be exercised any time up until the expiry date, being two years after the issue date. The issue of free attaching New Options under the Placement will be subject to shareholder approval.

The Placement is being lead managed by Taylor Collison Limited ("Lead Manager"). Under the mandate with the Lead Manager, they will receive a management fee of 2.0% of the gross proceeds raised under the Placement, a selling fee of 4.0% of the gross proceeds raised under the Placement and 25,179,000 Broker Options (on the same terms as the New Options to be issued under the Placement and SPP). The Broker Options to be issued to the Lead Manager are subject to shareholder approval.

The capital raised by the issue of the New Shares will be used to continue to fund exploration and development on the Company's portfolio of projects, including the Heemskirk Tin Project and for general working capital.

New Shares and shares issued upon exercise of New Options will rank pari passu with the Company's existing fully paid ordinary shares on issue.

Share Purchase Plan

The Company will give eligible shareholders with a registered address in Australia and New Zealand on the record date of 7:00pm (AEST) on Friday, 19 August 2022 (each an "Eligible Shareholder") an opportunity to subscribe for new fully paid ordinary shares ("SPP Shares") in the Company by way of a Share Purchase Plan ("SPP"). The SPP Shares will be offered at an issue price of $0.015 (1.5 cents) per SPP Share (being the same issued price as the price under the Placement) and be offered with one (1) free attaching unlisted Option ("New Option") for every two (2) SPP Shares issued. Each New Option will have an exercise price of $0.025 (2.5 cents), entitling the holder to be issued one fully paid ordinary share on exercise of a New Option, and will be able to be exercised any time up until the expiry date, being two years after the issue date. The issue of free attaching New Options under the SPP will be subject to shareholder approval.

Under the SPP, each Eligible Shareholder will be entitled to acquire up to $30,000 of SPP Shares without brokerage. The Company intends to raise up to $500,000 under the SPP, and the Company reserves the right to scale back applications. In the event of oversubscriptions, the Company, in consultation with the Lead Manager, may accept up to $1,000,000 under the SPP.

The additional capital raised under the SPP will be used for the same purposes as funds raised under the Placement.

The offer of securities under the SPP will be made under a prospectus to be lodged with ASIC in accordance with the below timetable and sent to Eligible Shareholders shortly thereafter. Shareholders should consider the prospectus in deciding whether to acquire securities under the SPP and will need to complete the application form that will accompany the prospectus.
