1. Details of the Offers

1.1 SPP

(a) SPP Share Offer

Under the SPP Share Offer, the Company invites Eligible Shareholders to subscribe for up to $30,000 of New Shares at an issue price of $0.035 per New Share under the Share Purchase Plan. New Shares issued under the SPP are being offered with attaching options, expiring on 12 July 2027 and with an exercise price of $0.04 (New Options), on the basis of one New Option for every New Share issued under the SPP Share Offer. The New Options are being offered under this Prospectus. Refer Section 1.2 below for further details in this regard.

The Company is seeking to raise up to $1,000,000 (before costs) under the SPP but may accept oversubscriptions up to $2,500,000 (before costs).

Participation in the SPP by Eligible Shareholders is entirely voluntary.

(b) SPP Instrument

A listed company may make an offer of new securities in accordance with the SPP Instrument, which allows a company to conduct a share purchase plan without a prospectus for the purposes of Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act.

The Company satisfies the conditions of the SPP Instrument for the issue of Shares under the SPP. Accordingly, the Company is undertaking the SPP Share Offer under the Offer Document pursuant to section 708AA of the Corporations Act.

(c) Lead manager and underwriting

The Company has not engaged a lead manager in relation to the SPP.

The SPP is not underwritten.

1.2 SPP Option Offer

(a) Offer

Eligible Shareholders who subscribe for New Shares under the SPP (SPP Participants) are being offered one attaching New Option, for nil consideration, for every New Share issued to them in connection with the SPP.

Information about how SPP Participants may apply for the New Options is set out in Section 3.

(b) Number of Options offered

Assuming the SPP is fully subscribed and oversubscriptions are accepted (up to $2,500,000), up to approximately 71,428,571 New Shares and 71,428,571 New Options will be issued to participants in the SPP and the SPP Option Offer (subject to rounding).

A summary of the rights and obligations attaching to the New Options, and Shares issued on conversion of any New Options, is set out in Section 4.


4

1.3 SPP Shortfall Offer

(a) Details of the SPP Shortfall Offer

If the SPP raises less than $1,000,000 (before costs), then the Company may seek to raise the shortfall of funds (Shortfall) by way of the SPP Shortfall Offer.

The SPP Shortfall Offer is an offer of up to 28,571,428 Shortfall Shares at $0.035 per Share and up to 28,571,428 Shortfall Options on the basis of one Shortfall Option for every Shortfall Share subscribed for and issued to raise up to $1,000,000 (before costs).

Shares and Options issued under the SPP Share Offer and SPP Option Offer will be deducted from the number of Shares and Options to be issued under the SPP Shortfall Offer so that no Shares or Options will be issued pursuant to the SPP Shortfall Offer if subscriptions under the SPP Share Offer and SPP Option Offer are received in excess of 28,571,428 Shares and 28,571,428 Options.

There is no minimum subscription under the SPP Shortfall Offer, which is not underwritten.

All of the Shortfall Shares offered under the SPP Shortfall Offer pursuant to this Prospectus will rank equally with the Shares on issue at the date of this Prospectus. The Shortfall Options issued under this Prospectus will be exercisable at $0.04 on or before 12 July 2027 and otherwise on the terms set out in section 4.2 of this Prospectus. All of the Shares issued upon exercise of the Shortfall Options will rank equally to the Shares on issue at the date of this Prospectus.

If after the close of the SPP and SPP Shortfall Offer, any Shortfall has not been subscribed for, the Directors reserve the right to place some or all of those Shortfall Securities within 3 months of the close of the Offers.

(b) Eligibility to participate in the Shortfall Offer

Eligible Shareholders and specific investors invited to participate in the SPP Shortfall Offer by the Company may apply for Shortfall Securities under the SPP Shortfall Offer using their Application Form.

The Directors reserve the right to issue Shortfall Securities at their absolute discretion.

(c) Application for Securities under the Shortfall Offer

Applications made under the SPP Shortfall Offer must be completed with sufficient time to be received by or on behalf of the Company by no later than the closing date of the SPP Shortfall Offer.

1.4 Proposed use of funds

The Options under the Offers will be issued for nil consideration.

Accordingly, the Company will not raise any funds from the issue of the Options pursuant to this Prospectus. However, if all Options are exercised before the expiry date, the Company will receive a maximum of approximately $2,857,142 in exercise payments. The Company intends to apply any funds raised from exercise of the Options towards general working capital requirements at that time.

The Shortfall Shares under the SPP Shortfall Offer will be issued for $0.035 per Share. If all 28,571,428 Shortfall Shares are issued pursuant to the SPP Shortfall Offer, the Company will receive approximately $1,000,000.


The Company operates under the Federal Government's Pooled Development Fund (PDF) program. This program was established to increase the supply of capital to Australian small and medium-sized enterprises through patient capital and tax incentives for eligible investors. The Company intends to apply the funds raised under the SPP and Shortfall Offer towards:

  • Energy Ink: Develop engineered moisture systems, demonstrate a breath-powered mobile phone call, progress longer-duration printable cells and investigate larger-scale moisture energy cells.
  • Stealth Technologies: Extend EdgeIQ paid pilot deployments with major mining companies and expand discovery activities in automation, robotics and edge computing across sectors.
  • New Ventures: Significantly progress evaluation and execution of new Australian innovation opportunities where early advances can have an outsized impact.
  • General working capital requirements of the Company.

1.5 Purpose of the Offers

The SPP Option Offer is being made in accordance with the Company's announced intention to offer attaching Options to SPP Participants.

The SPP Shortfall Offer is an offer made to raise any Shortfall that exists under the SPP Share Offer and SPP Option Offer, such that the maximum that may be raised under the SPP Shortfall Offer is $1,000,000.

1.6 Purpose of Prospectus

(a) SPP Instrument

The Company is unable to rely on the disclosure relief granted by the SPP Instrument for the SPP Option Offer because the Options to be issued under the SPP Option Offer are a new class of securities not currently quoted on the ASX. Accordingly, the Company is undertaking the SPP Option Offer under this Prospectus pursuant to section 713 of the Corporations Act.

The Company is also making the SPP Shortfall Offer to Eligible Shareholders (who may not be professional and sophisticated investors) and other investors invited to participate by the Company. Accordingly, the Company is unable to rely on disclosure relief and is undertaking the SPP Shortfall Offer under this Prospectus.

(b) Instrument 2026/94

This Prospectus has been prepared, in part, to ensure that the relief provided under the Instrument 2026/94 is available in respect of the Options.

1.7 Opening and Closing Date for Offers

The Offers will open and the Company will accept Application Forms from Wednesday 20 May 2026 (Opening Date) until 5.00pm (AWST) on Tuesday 9 June 2026 or such other date as the Directors in their absolute discretion shall determine, subject to the requirements of the Listing Rules (Closing Date).

Notes:

  1. The figures in the table above assume no other securities are issued prior to the close of the Offers.
  2. Options Comprising 25,375,000 options expiring on 16 August 2027 with an exercise price of $0.06.

2.3 Effect on control

The Company is of the view that the Offers will not affect the control (as defined by section 50AA of the Corporations Act) of the Company. No investor or existing


Shareholder will have Voting Power greater than 20% as a result of the completion of the Offers and the exercise of any Options issued under the Offers.

The maximum number of Shares proposed to be issued under the SPP Shortfall Offer is 28,571,428 Shares which, if issued, will constitute approximately 12.94% of the Shares on issue following completion of the Offers on a fully diluted basis assuming no other securities are issued (including by the exercise of convertible securities on issue at the Prospectus Date).

The maximum number of Options proposed to be issued under the Offers is 71,428,571 Options. If all these Options are exercised, the Shares issued on exercise will constitute approximately 10.79% of the Shares on issue following completion of the Offers (including the SPP) on a fully diluted basis assuming that no other securities are issued (including by the exercise of convertible securities on issue at the Prospectus Date).

2.4 Effect on financial position

The Company does not consider that the issue of Options pursuant to this Prospectus will have a material effect on the financial position of the Company. No funds will be raised from the issue of the Options pursuant to this Prospectus.

If all Options are issued and exercised (which is not certain), it would have the effect on the Company's financial position of increasing the cash balance by approximately $2,857,142 (before costs). The Company intends to apply any funds raised from the exercise of the Options towards general working capital requirements at that time.

The SPP Shortfall Offer, if fully subscribed, will raise $1,000,000 (before costs) which will be applied towards:

  • Energy Ink: Develop engineered moisture systems, demonstrate a breath-powered mobile phone call, progress longer-duration printable cells and investigate larger-scale moisture energy cells.
  • Stealth Technologies: Extend EdgeIQ paid pilot deployments with major mining companies and expand discovery activities in automation, robotics and edge computing across sectors.
  • New Ventures: Significantly progress evaluation and execution of new Australian innovation opportunities where early advances can have an outsized impact.
  • General working capital requirements of the Company.

The expenses of the Offers will be met from the Company's existing cash reserves. The immediate financial effect of the Offers will have an effect on the Company's financial position of reducing the cash balance by approximately $66,310 (exclusive of GST). Please refer to Section 6.10 for further details on the estimated expenses of the Offers.

  1. Rights and Liabilities of Shares and Options

4.1 Attaching to the Shares

Full details of the rights and liabilities attaching to Shares are contained in the Constitution and, in certain circumstances, are regulated by the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules and the common law. Full details of the rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares are set out in the Company's Constitution, a copy of which is available for inspection free of charge at the Company's registered office during normal business hours or on request made to the Company Secretary.

The following is a broad summary (though not necessarily an exhaustive or definitive statement) of the rights and liabilities attaching to Shares:

(a) Share capital

All issued Shares rank equally in all respects.

(b) Voting rights

At a general meeting of the Company, every holder of Shares present in person, by an attorney, representative or proxy has one vote on a show of hands and on a poll, one vote for each Share held, and for every contributing share (i.e. partly paid) held, a fraction of a vote equal to the proportion which the amount paid up bears to the total issue price of the contributing share. Where there is an equality of votes, the chairperson has a casting vote.

(c) Dividend rights

Subject to the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules and any rights of persons entitled to Shares with special rights to dividends (at present there are none), all dividends as declared by the Directors are to be payable on all such Shares in proportion to the amount of capital paid or credited as paid on the Shares during any portion or portions of the period in respect of which the dividends is paid, unless the Share is issued on terms providing to the contrary.

(d) Payment of dividends

Dividends are payable out of the assets of the Company in accordance with section 254T of the Corporations Act and as determined by the Directors, which shall be conclusive. The Directors may direct that payment of the dividend be made wholly or in part by the distribution of specific assets or other securities of the Company.

(e) Rights on winding-up

Subject to the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules and any rights or restrictions attached to a class of Shares, the liquidator may on winding-up of the Company, with the authority of a special resolution, divide among the Shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the property of the Company and may for that purpose set such value as the liquidator considers fair upon any property to be so divided and may determine how the division is to be carried out as between the Shareholders or different classes of Shareholders.

(f) Transfer of Shares

Subject to the Constitution, Shares in the Company are freely transferable, subject to formal requirements, and so long as the registration of the transfer does not result in a contravention of or failure to observe the provisions of a law

13


of Australia and the transfer is not in breach of the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules.

(g) Refusal to transfer Shares

The Directors may refuse to register a transfer of Shares (other than a Market Transfer) where:

  • the Listing Rules or ASTC Settlement Rules permit the Company to do so; or
  • the Listing Rules or ASTC Settlement Rules require the Company to do so.

Notwithstanding any other provisions contained in this Constitution, the Company may not prevent, delay or interfere with the registration of a Market Transfer where to do so would be contrary to the provisions of any of the Listing Rules or the ASTC Settlement Rules.

(h) Further increases in capital

Subject to the Constitution, the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules:

  • Shares in the Company are under the control of the Directors, who may allot or dispose of all or any of the Shares to such persons, and on such terms, as the Directors determine; and
  • the Directors have the right to grant options to subscribe for Shares, to any person, for any consideration.

(i) Variation of rights attaching to shares

The rights attaching to the shares of a class (unless otherwise provided by their terms of issue) may only be varied by a special resolution passed at a separate general meeting of the holders of those shares of that class, or in certain circumstances, with the written consent of the holders of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the issued shares of that class.

(j) General meeting

Each holder of Shares will be entitled to receive notice of, and to attend and vote at, general meetings of the Company and to receive notices, accounts and other documents required to be furnished to Shareholders under the Constitution, the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules.

(k) Amending the Constitution

The Constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least 75% of Shareholders present and voting at the general meeting. In addition, at least 28 days written notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be given.

4.2 Rights attaching to the Options

The Options will be issued on the following terms:

(a) Entitlement

Each Option entitles the holder of that Option (Holder) to subscribe for one Share in the Company upon payment of the Exercise Price for each Option.

14


(b) No payment on grant

The Holder is not required to pay any amount upon the issue of the Options.

(c) Exercise Price

The exercise price of each Option is $0.04.

(d) Expiry date

Each Option may be exercised at any time before 5.00pm (AWST) on 12 July 2027 (Expiry Date). Any Option not exercised prior to the Expiry Date will automatically expire.

(e) Certificate or holding statement

As soon as reasonably practicable after the date the Options have been issued, the Company must give the Holder a certificate or holding statement stating:

  • the number of Options issued to the Holder;
  • the exercise price of the Options; and
  • the date of issue of the Options.

(f) Quotation of Options

The Company will not apply to ASX for quotation of the Options.

(g) Quotation of Shares

The Company will apply to ASX for quotation of Shares issued on exercise of the Options as soon as practicable after such Shares are issued.

(h) Reorganisation

If there is a reorganisation (including consolidation, sub-division, reduction or return) of the share capital of the Company, then the rights of the Holder (including the number of Options to which the Holder is entitled to and the exercise price) will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules applying to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation. Any calculations or adjustments which are required to be made will be made by the Board and will, in the absence of manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on the Company and Holder.

(i) Notice of reorganisation

The Company must, within a reasonable period, give to the Holder notice of any change to the exercise price of any Options held by the Holder or the number of Shares which the Holder is entitled to subscribe for on exercise of an Option.

(j) Notices

The provisions of the constitution of the Company regarding notices to be given to Holders of Shares shall apply mutatis mutandis to notices to be given to the Holder.

15


(k) Exercise of Options

To exercise Options, the Holder must give the Company or its share registry, at the same time:

  • a written exercise notice (in the form approved by the Board of from time to time) specifying the number of Options being exercised and Shares to be issued;
  • payment of the exercise price for the relevant Options the subject of the exercise notice, by way of bank cheque or by other means of payment approved by the Board; and
  • any certificate for the Options.

The Holder may only exercise Options in multiples of 10,000 Options unless the Holder exercises all Options held by it.

Options will be deemed to have been exercised on the date the exercise notice and exercise price are received by the Company.

If a Holder exercises less than the total number of Options registered in its name:

  • the Holder must surrender their Option certificate (if any); and
  • the Company must cancel the Option certificate (if any) and issue the Holder a new Option certificate or holding statement stating the remaining number of Options held by the Holder.

(l) Issue of Shares on exercise of Options

Within 5 Business Days after receiving an application for exercise of Options and payment by the Subscriber of the exercise price, the Company must issue the Holder the number of Shares validly specified in the application.

Subject to the constitution of the Company, all Shares issued on the exercise of Options will rank in all respects (including rights relating to dividends) equally with the existing Shares of the Company at the date of issue.

(m) Options Transferable

The Options are transferable subject to the provisions of the Corporations Act and Listing Rules.

(n) Governing law

These terms and the rights and obligations of the Holder in respect of the Options are governed by the laws of Western Australia. The Holder irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Western Australia.

  1. Risk Factors

5.1 Introduction

The Securities offered by this Prospectus are considered as speculative. An investment in the Company is not risk free and the Directors strongly recommend potential investors to consider the risk factors described below, together with information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus and to consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Securities pursuant to this Prospectus.

This Section 5 is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the considerations to be taken into account by potential Applicants in deciding whether or not to subscribe for Securities nor all of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed. There are specific risks which relate directly to the Company's business. In addition, there are other general risks. Whilst some of these risks can be mitigated by using safeguards and appropriate systems and actions, many are outside the control of the Company and Directors and cannot be mitigated.

The risks identified in this Section, or other risk factors, may have a material impact on the financial performance of the Company and the market price of the Shares.

Potential Applicants should carefully consider whether Securities in the Company are an appropriate investment for them and should take into account that the price of the Company's securities can fall as well as rise.

There are risks associated with investing in any form of business and with investing in the share market generally. All potential Applicants should consult their professional advisers if they are in any doubt as to any aspect of this Prospectus, the Offers or any other matter relating to an investment in the Company.

5.2 Company specific risks

The following risks have been identified as being key risks specific to the Group and an investment in the Company. These risks have the potential to have a significant adverse impact on the Company and may affect the Company's financial position, prospects and price of its quoted securities.

(a) Investment Company

While the Company intends to invest in opportunities in accordance with its investment scope, there is a risk that it may not be able to do so at all, or on satisfactory terms. In addition, the Company may invest in projects that may ultimately not be as prospective as originally thought. Individual investments made by the Company may fall in value for many reasons such as changes in the investee company's operations, management or in its business environment.

(b) Status as a Pooled Development Fund

The Company's status as a Pooled Development Fund is reliant upon the Company complying with the Pooled Development Fund Act 1992 (Cth) (PDF Act) and the directions of Industry Innovation and Science Australia and the Australian Government keeping the program operational, although it is closed for new registrations. There is a risk that the Company may lose its status as a Pooled Development Fund if it fails to comply with these requirements or the legislative framework underpinning the tax concessional status of Pooled Development Funds changes. This may be detrimental to Applicants or Pooled Development Funds generally, including the Company. At the date of this Prospectus, the Company remains a registered and compliant Pooled

17


Development Fund and is unaware of any information that would affect the Company's current registration as Pooled Development Fund.

(c) Government policy

The tax benefits available to the Company as a Pooled Development Fund can be affected by changes in government policy that are beyond the control of the Company. There is a risk that such changes may affect the Company's financial performance and strategy moving forward.

(d) Research and development

There are inherent risks in research and development. The Company's future success is dependent on successful research and development (e.g. Energy Ink™ technology in AAM and research and development in Stealth Technologies). The Company has had initial early success with the development of Energy Ink™ technology but given Energy Ink™ is still an early-stage technology, it is susceptible to risks associated with any early-stage R&D such as the uncertainty of material science development. Some risks relevant to the Company include:

  • commercial difficulties with research partners;
  • uncertainty of further research including costs of further research and/or commercialisation;
  • difficulties and delays in further research;
  • lack of suitably experienced and qualified research personnel;
  • general uncertainty relating to the scientific development and commercial application of any intellectual property the Company is able to develop;
  • failure to secure adequate protection for intellectual property, failure of such protection - including patents - to provide the anticipated protection, or an inability to enforce protection due to jurisdiction issues or enforcement related costs;
  • lack of suitable markets for commercialisation of technology or inability to attract suitable commercial partners
  • lack of research institute capability;
  • engineering challenges, including materials engineering;
  • competition from other research groups;
  • fabrication and deposition challenges;
  • access to laboratory equipment; and
  • problems scaling up lab based methods.

(e) Business strategy

There is a risk that management of the Group will not be able to implement its business strategy. The capacity of management to properly implement and manage the strategic direction of the Group may be impacted by operational and

18


market matters outside of their control. This may affect the Group's operating and financial performance.

(f) Nature of the Options

The Company will not seek quotation for the Options however, the Options will be transferrable off-market. There is no certainty that Shares will trade above the exercise price and accordingly there is no certainty that Option holders will realise any value from the Options. In the event that Options are exercised, this will dilute the holdings of existing Shareholders.

(g) Nature of the Shares

The Company will seek quotation for the Shares issued pursuant to the SPP Shortfall Offer and Shares will be transferrable on-market.

(h) Reliance on key personnel

The Company is dependent on the experience of its Directors' and management team. Whilst the Board has sought to, and will continue to ensure that the management team and any key employees are appropriately incentivised, their services cannot be guaranteed. The loss of any of the Directors', senior management or key employees' services to the Company may have an adverse effect on the performance of the Company pending replacements being identified and retained by or appointed to the Board of the Company.

(i) Contractual risk

The ability of the Company to achieve its objectives will depend on the performance of other parties to contracts which the Company may enter into in the future. If a party defaults in the performance of its obligations it may be necessary for the Company to approach a court to seek legal remedy. Legal action can be costly and there can be no guarantee that a legal remedy will ultimately be granted on appropriate terms.

Further, the Company is unable to predict the risk of insolvency or managerial failure by any of the third party contractors used by the Company in any of its activities or the insolvency or other managerial failure by any of the other service providers used by the Company for any activity. The effects of such failures may have an adverse effect on the Company's activities.

(j) Competition risk

The industries in which the Company is involved are subject to domestic and global competition. Although the Company will undertake all reasonable due diligence in its business decisions and operations, the Company will have no influence or control over the activities or actions of its competitors, which activities or actions may, positively or negatively, affect the operating and financial performance of the Company's projects and business.

The Company's current and future potential competitors may include entities with greater financial and other resources than the Company which, as a result, may be in a better position to compete for future business opportunities. Many of the Company's competitors not only explore for and produce minerals, but also carry out refining operations and other products on a worldwide basis. There can be no assurance that the Company can compete effectively with these entities.

19


20

(k) Liquidity and future capital requirements

The Company has no material operating revenue and is unlikely to generate any material operating revenue in the foreseeable future. Exploration, research, project development and evaluation costs will continue to use funds from the Company's current cash reserves.

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company has in place a planning and budgeting process to help determine the funds required to meet its operating and growth objectives. The Company prepares cash forecasts and maintains cash balances to meet short and long-term cash requirements. The Company's objective is to raise sufficient funds from equity and/or debt to finance its activities until its operations become profitable.

The Company's ability to continue its activities over time may depend in part on its ability to raise additional funds.

The future capital requirements of the Company will depend on many factors including its ability to develop and grow its investments. The Company believes its available cash following the SPP will be adequate to fund its business objectives in the short term, however, the Company may require further funding in the future.

In the event further funding is required to maintain operations, any additional equity financing may be dilutive to Shareholders or may be undertaken at lower prices than the then market price.

Although the Directors believe that additional capital can be obtained, no assurances can be made that appropriate capital or funding, if and when needed, will be available on terms favourable to the Company or at all. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funding as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its activities, the Company may also not be able to take advantage of opportunities or respond to competitive pressures. An inability to obtain additional funding could also result in delays or reductions in further exploration, research, project development and evaluation activities which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

(l) Regulatory framework

The introduction of new legislation or amendments to existing legislation by government, and the decisions of courts and tribunals can impact adversely on the assets, operations and, ultimately, the financial performance of the Company.

Any adverse developments in political and regulatory conditions in the countries in which the Company could conduct business, could materially affect the Company's prospects. Political changes, such as changes in both monetary and fiscal policies, expropriation, methods and rates of taxation and currency exchange controls may impact the performance of the Company as a whole.

(m) Intellectual property risks

While the Company intends to invest into investee companies that acquire and licence intellectual property as part of its investment scope, there is a risk that it may not be able to locate any suitable intellectual property or to acquire it on satisfactory terms. The value of intellectual property acquired by investee companies that the Company may invest in may not be realised as licensees for the intellectual property may not be found or licensing may not be possible on satisfactory terms. In addition, the Company may invest into investee companies with intellectual property that may ultimately not be as prospective as originally


thought. The Company manages these risks by filing patents frequently, managing publication requests, engaging key intellectual property specialists in Australia and overseas, ensuring intellectual property is protected through agreements and monitoring background art in the development area.

(n) Exploration and development risk

The Company's projects are in various industries. Its exploration projects are at various stages of exploration, and potential investors should understand that mineral exploration and project development are high risk undertakings.

Maria Resources, and Strategic Materials conduct mineral exploration. The companies hold exploration permits (Projects) subject to the respective mineral programs for New Zealand and Western Australia. The Projects are conceptual in nature and are exposed to the typical risks associated with mineral exploration such as environmental challenges, project development disruption by activists, failure to identify economic mineralisation, geological conditions, limitations on activities due to seasonal weather patterns, unanticipated operational and technical difficulties, industrial and environmental accidents, and issues with landowners, local government authorities, federal authorities and traditional owners.

To mitigate these risks, the Maria Resources, and Strategic Materials maintains compliance with current mineral permits by developing strong technical work programmes that are adequately funded and involving technical experts such as geophysicists and experienced geologists. Where applicable, the Company engages with landowners, traditional owners and other key stakeholders at an early stage with the assistance of consultants.

(o) Failure to satisfy expenditure commitments and licence conditions

Each tenements/licence held by the Maria Resources, and Strategic Materials is for a specific term and carries with it annual expenditure and reporting commitments, as well as other conditions requiring compliance. Consequently, there is a risk that the Company could lose title to or its interest in the tenements/licences if conditions are not met or if insufficient funds are available to meet expenditure commitments.

(p) Forward-looking statements

There can be no guarantee that the assumptions and contingencies on which any forward-looking statements, opinions and development timeline estimates contained in materials published by the Company are based will ultimately prove to be valid or accurate. The forward-looking statements, opinions and estimates depend on various factors, including known and unknown risks, many of which are outside the control of the Company. Actual performance of the Company may materially differ from forecast performance.

(q) Concentration risk

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company has invested in a limited number of Investee Companies. While this is consistent with the Company's current investment strategy, it gives rise to an inherent concentration risk. Any adverse events that affect one Investee Company, in respect of its financial performance, operations or management may have a material impact on the value of the Company. The effect of such events may be greater than would be the case for a company with a more diversified investment strategy.

21


22

5.3 Industry specific risks

The following risks have been identified as being key risks relevant to the industries in which the Group operates. These risks have the potential to have a significant adverse impact on the Group and may affect the Group's financial position, prospects and price of its quoted Shares.

Technology and Research

(a) Technology

The Group's success in executing its growth strategy will depend on its ability to successfully develop or acquire technology products suitable for a commercial market. This will require management to remain at the forefront of technological developments in the industries in which it operates. There can be no assurance that the Group will successfully develop and manufacture new products or that new products will be accepted in the marketplace. If the Group does not successfully develop new products, the business, operating results and financial condition of the Group may be adversely affected.

The Group endeavours to keep itself abreast of technological developments which may impact the Group's allocation of resources. It is difficult to predict which developments will have a major effect on the market. Some decisions the Group may make on the perceived significance of certain technology and its relevance to the market may be incorrect. If the Group does not direct its resources accordingly, its ability to compete in the future could be adversely affected.

(b) Research and development

The Company has several investments in early stage research and development businesses.

The Group makes no representations that any of its (or its investments) research into, or development of, new products will be successful, that the development milestones will be achieved, or that products that are commercially exploitable will be developed.

There are many risks inherent in the development of products, particularly where the products are in the early stages of development. Projects can be delayed or fail to demonstrate any benefit or research may cease to be viable for a range of scientific and commercial reasons.

(c) Cyber risk

The Company's operations are and will continue to be reliant on various computer systems, data repositories and interfaces with networks and other systems. Failures or breaches of these systems (including by way of virus and hacking attacks) have the potential to materially and negatively impact the Company's operations. Whilst the Company has barriers, continuity plans and risk management systems in place, there are inherent limits to such plans and systems. An example of this would include a global outage of a technology provider. Further, the Company has no control over the cyber security plans and systems of third parties with which it may interface or upon whose services the Company's operations are reliant.

(d) Occupational health and safety

Due to the nature of the industries in which the Group operates and the products it develops, there is a potential risk to the health and safety of the Group's


employees, contractors, customers or members of the public. If the Group does not comply with its health and safety obligations, it may be subject to sanctions and penalties. A health and safety incident has the potential to damage the Group's reputation which could negatively affect its revenue and profitability.

(e) Dependence on outside parties

The Group heavily depends on the performance of third parties who have key roles in managing and operating its investments. The actions of these third parties are important to the overall success of the business. While the Group has processes to undertake a review of these third parties, there are risks that can significantly impact the Group's financial performance.

(f) Project Delays

Delays to the commencement or completion of work on projects have occurred from time-to-time. Delays beyond the control of the Group may occur in the future due to a variety of reasons, including changes in the scope of work, legal issues, supply of labour, scarcity of quality materials and equipment, sub-standard performance by subcontractors, accidents, natural disasters, inclement weather conditions, regulatory intervention, delays in necessary approvals, difficult site access, or industrial relations issues.

The Group's financial performance may be adversely impacted by these project delays where revenue may be recognised in a later period, or in certain circumstances the Group may be liable to the client for liquidated damages. Further, project delays may prevent or delay the Group's personnel and assets from being deployed to progress other projects.

Mineral Exploration

(g) Operating risk

The operations of the Company may be affected by various factors, including failure to locate or identify mineral systems or economic mineral deposits, failure to achieve predicted grades in exploration and mining, operational and technical difficulties encountered in economies of mining processes, difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment, mechanical failure or plant breakdown, unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect extraction costs, adverse weather conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes and unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment.

No assurances can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the successful exploration and/or mining of its tenement interests. Unless and until the Company is able to realise value from its projects, it is likely to incur ongoing operating losses.

(h) Environmental risks

The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to Australian and New Zealand laws and regulations in respect to the environment. As with most exploration projects and mining operations, the Company's activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if advanced exploration or mine development proceeds. The Company is committed to complying with all environmental laws.

Mining operations have inherent risks and liabilities associated with safety and damage to the environment and the disposal of waste products occurring as a result of mineral exploration and production. The occurrence of any such safety or

23


environmental incident could delay the Company's business activities and increase costs. Events, such as unpredictable rainfall or bushfires may impact on the Company's ongoing compliance with environmental legislation, regulations and licences. Significant liabilities could be imposed on the Company for damages, clean up costs or penalties in the event of certain discharges into the environment, environmental damage caused by previous operations or noncompliance with environmental laws or regulations.

The disposal of mining and process waste and mine water discharge are under constant legislative scrutiny and regulation. There is a risk that environmental laws and regulations become more onerous making the Company's operations more expensive. Approvals are required for land clearing and for ground disturbing activities. Delays in obtaining such approvals can result in the delay to anticipated exploration programmes or mining activities.

(i) Landowners and access risk

Land access is critical for exploration and evaluation to succeed. In all cases the acquisition of prospective tenements/licences is a competitive business, in which propriety knowledge or information is critical and the ability to negotiate satisfactory commercial arrangements with other parties is often essential.

Access to land for mining and exploration purposes can be affected by land ownership including private (freehold) land, native and local title obligations, treaty settlements, heritage obligations, pastoral lease and regulatory requirements within the jurisdictions where the Company operates.

The Company will be required to negotiate access arrangements and pay compensation to landowners, local authorities, traditional land users and others who may have an interest in the area covered by a mining tenement. The Company's ability to resolve access and compensation issues will have an impact on the future success and financial performance of the Company's operations. If the Company is unable to resolve such compensation claims on economic terms, this could have a material adverse effect on the business, results or operations and financial condition of the Company and any delays or costs in respect of conflicting third-party rights, obtaining necessary consents, or compensation obligations, may adversely impact the Company's ability to carry out exploration or mining activities within the affected areas. Access to land for exploration purposes can be affected by land ownership, nature reserves and national parks, government regulation and environmental restrictions.

Access is critical for exploration and development to succeed and the ability to be able to negotiate satisfactory commercial arrangements with landowners, farmers and occupiers is often essential. Any delays or costs in respect of conflicting third party rights (for example, in relation to the assignment of any access agreements or the relocation of existing infrastructure on any existing miscellaneous licences that overlap with a tenement), obtaining necessary consents, or compensation obligations, may adversely impact the Company's ability to retain the Projects and carry out exploration or mining activities within the affected areas.

Rights to mineral tenements/licences carry with them various obligations in regard to minimum expenditure levels and responsibilities in respect of third party interests, the environment and safety. Failure to observe these requirements could prejudice the right to maintain the access rights to a given area.

(j) Native title claims and Aboriginal heritage

In the future if the existence of native title claims occur over the area covered by any tenements in Western Australia, or a subsequent determination of native title over the area occurs, this will not impact the rights or interests of the holder

24


provided any tenement has been or will be validly granted in accordance with the Native Title Act.

If any tenements were not validly granted in compliance with the Native Title Act, this may have an adverse impact on the Company's activities. The Company is not aware of any circumstances to indicate that any of its tenements in Western Australia were not or will not be validly granted in accordance with the Native Title Act.

The grant of any future tenure to the Company over areas that are covered by registered claims or determinations will likely require engagement with the relevant claimants or native title holders (as relevant) in accordance with the Native Title Act. The Directors will closely monitor the potential effect of native title claims involving any tenements in which the Company has or may have an interest.

There remains a risk that additional Aboriginal sites may exist on the land the subject of a tenement. The existence of such sites may preclude or limit mining activities in certain areas of the Company's tenements.

(k) Climate change

There are a number of climate-related factors that may affect the Company's business. Climate change or prolonged periods of adverse weather and climatic conditions (including floods, hail, drought, water, scarcity, temperature extremes, frosts, earthquakes and pestilences) may have an adverse effect on the Company's ability to access its projects and therefore the Company's ability to carry out exploration activities.

Changes in policy, technological innovation and consumer or investor preferences could adversely impact the Company's business strategy, particularly in the event of a transition (which may occur in unpredictable ways) to a lower-carbon economy.

(l) Occupational health and safety

Site safety and occupational health and safety outcomes are a critical element in the reputation of the Company. While the Company has a strong commitment to achieving a safe performance on site a serious site safety incident could impact upon the reputation and financial outcomes for the Company.

Failure to comply with applicable regulations or requirements may result in significant liabilities, to suspended operations and increased costs.

Industrial accidents may occur in relation to the performance of the Company's services. Such accidents, particularly where a fatality or serious injury occurs, or a series of such accidents occurs, may have operational and financial implications for the Company which may negatively impact on the financial performance and growth prospects for the Company.

(m) Unforeseen expenses

The Company's cost estimates and financial forecasts include appropriate provisions for material risks and uncertainties and are considered to be fit for purpose for the proposed activities of the Company. If risks and uncertainties prove to be greater than expected, or if new currently unforeseen material risks and uncertainties arise, the expenditure proposals of the Company are likely to be adversely affected.

25


5.4 General investment risks

The business activities of the Group are subject to various general economic and investment risks that may impact the future performance of the Group. Some of these risks can be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate systems and controls, but some are outside the control of the Group and cannot be mitigated. There are a number of general economic and investment risk factors that apply to companies generally and may include economic, financial, market or regulatory conditions. These risk factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

(a) Future capital requirements

The Group's ongoing activities may require further financing in the future for its business activities, in addition to amounts raised pursuant to the Offers. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to Shareholders or may be undertaken at lower prices than the existing Share price. Any equity or debt financing may involve restrictive covenants which limit the Company's operations and business strategy.

Although the Directors believe that additional capital can be obtained, there cannot be any assurance that appropriate capital or funding, if and when needed, will be available on terms favourable to the Group or at all. Further, there is a risk that the financiers under existing finance arrangements may be adversely affected by economic or other matters outside of the Group's control which may delay or impede the drawdown of funds when required.

If the Group is unable to obtain additional financing or drawdown existing financing as needed, it may be required to reduce, delay or suspend its operations, which may result in a material adverse effect on the Group's activities and its ability to continue as a going concern.

(b) Potential acquisitions

The Company may pursue other strategic acquisitions in the course of its business. Growth through acquisition entails numerous operational and financial risks. These risks include, but are not limited to, poor integration of the acquired businesses, entry into market segments with more risk than existing operations, and loss of managerial focus on existing businesses. These risks may have an adverse impact on the Company's financial performance.

(c) Growth strategy

Future growth of sales is dependent upon many factors. There is no assurance of growth in sales is sustainable or indicative of future growth, profitability or ability to pay dividends; nor is there any assurance that the revenue will increase in response to research and development, marketing or promotional activities undertaken by the Group.

(d) Liquidity and volatility

There is a risk that, particularly in times of security market turbulence or negative investor sentiment, there will not be a highly liquid market for Shares or that the price of Shares may decrease considerably. There may be relatively few buyers or sellers of securities on ASX at any given time and the market price may be highly volatile.

This may result in holders wishing to sell their Shares in circumstances where they may receive considerably less than the price paid for the Shares.

26


(e) General economic conditions

Economic conditions, both domestic and global, may affect the performance of the Group. Factors such as fluctuations in currencies, commodity prices, inflation, interest rates, supply and demand and industrial disruption may have an impact on operating costs and share market prices. The Group's future possible revenues and securities prices can be affected by these factors, all of which are beyond the control of the Group and its Directors.

(f) Equity market conditions

Shares listed on a securities market, and in particular shares of small companies at earlier stages of commercial development, can experience price and volume fluctuations that are often unrelated to the operating performances of such companies. The market price of Shares may fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general. These security market conditions may affect the value of Shares regardless of the Group's operating performance.

General factors that may affect the market price of Shares include economic conditions in both Australia and internationally, investor sentiment, local and international share market conditions, changes in interest rates and the rate of inflation, variations in commodity prices, the global security situation and the possibility of terrorist disturbances, changes to government regulation, policy or legislation, changes which may occur to the taxation of companies as a result of changes in Australian and foreign taxation laws, changes to the system of dividend imputation in Australia, and changes in exchange rates.

(g) General changes in legislation and government policy

Any material adverse changes in relevant government policies or legislation of Australia or internationally may affect the viability and profitability of the Group, and consequent returns to investors.

(h) Investment risk

The Options offered pursuant to this Prospectus should be considered speculative. There cannot be any assurance as to the Share price being at a level which makes the conversion of the Options commercially feasible.

Eligible Shareholders must make their own assessment of the likely risks and determine whether an investment in the Company is appropriate having regard to their own particular circumstances.

(i) Insurance

The Group adequately insures its operations in accordance with industry practice. However, in certain circumstances, the Group's insurance may not be of a nature or level to provide adequate insurance cover. The occurrence of an event that is not covered or only partially covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of the Group.

(j) Force majeure

Force majeure is a term used to refer to an event beyond the control of a party claiming that the event has occurred. These include, but are not limited to, acts of God, fire, flood, earthquakes, war and strikes. To the extent that force majeure events occur, they may adversely affect the Group's financial performance, the value and price of Shares and the Group's ability to operate.

27


(k) Taxation

The acquisition and disposal of Securities will have tax consequences, which will differ depending on the individual financial affairs of each prospective investors. Investors are urged to obtain independent professional advice about the consequences of acquiring Shares from a taxation viewpoint and generally.

To the maximum extent permitted by the law, the Company, its officers and each of their respective advisors accept no liability and responsibility with respect to the taxation consequences of subscribing for Shares under this Prospectus.

(l) Other

Other risk factors include those normally found in conducting business, including litigation resulting from the breach of agreements or in relation to employees (through personal injuries, industrial matters or otherwise) or any other cause, strikes, lockouts, loss of service of key management or operational personnel, non-insurable risks, delay in resumption of activities after reinstatement following the occurrence of an insurable risk and other matters that may interfere with the business or trade of the Company.

  1. Additional Information

6.1 Continuous disclosure obligations

The Company is a 'disclosing entity' (as defined in section 111AC of the Corporations Act) for the purposes of section 713 of the Corporations Act and is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations.

As a listed public company, the Company is subject to continuous disclosure requirements under the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules which require it to notify ASX of any information concerning the Company of which it is or becomes aware and which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of the Company's securities, subject to certain exceptions.

This Prospectus is a "transaction specific prospectus" to which the rules under section 713 of the Corporations Act apply. Accordingly, a "transaction specific prospectus" is only required to contain information in relation to the effect of the issue of securities in the Company and the rights attaching to the securities. It is not necessary to include general information in relation to all of the assets and liabilities, financial position, profits and losses or prospects of the issuing company.

This Prospectus is intended to be read in conjunction with the publicly available information in relation to the Company that has been notified to ASX and does not include all of the information that would be included in a prospectus for an initial public offering of securities in an entity that is not already listed on a stock exchange. Investors should therefore have regard to the other publicly available information in relation to the Company before making a decision whether or not to subscribe for Securities under this Prospectus.

Information that is already in the public domain has not been reported in this Prospectus other than that which is considered necessary to make this Prospectus complete.

The Company, as a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act, states that:

(a) it is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations;

6.3 Design and distribution obligations

The product design and distributions obligations under the Corporations Act (DDO Obligations) took effect from 5 October 2021. The DDO Obligations are intended to help consumers obtain appropriate financial products by requiring issuers and distributors to have a consumer-centric product. The DDO Obligations require product issuers to make publicly available a target market determination that explains the target market for certain securities, any distribution conditions and any information related to reviewing and monitoring conduct in relation to the target market determination.

6.12 Electronic Prospectus

ASIC has exempted compliance with certain provisions of the Corporations Act to allow distribution of an electronic prospectus and electronic application form on the basis of a paper prospectus lodged with the ASIC, and the publication of notices referring to an electronic prospectus or electronic application form, subject to compliance with certain conditions.

If you have received this Prospectus as an electronic Prospectus, please ensure that you have received the entire Prospectus and the Application Form. If you have not, please phone the Company Secretary on +61 8 9278 2788 or the Share Registry on +61 8 9315 2333 and the Company will send you, free of charge, either a hard copy or a further electronic copy of the Prospectus, or both.

6.15 Financial Forecasts

The Directors have considered the applicable laws and do not believe that they have a reasonable basis to include forecast future earnings in this Prospectus, on the basis that the operations of the Company are inherently uncertain. Accordingly, any forecast information would contain such a broad range of potential outcomes and possibilities that it is not possible to prepare a reliable best estimate forecast.

6.16 Taxation

The Directors do not consider it appropriate to give Applicants advice regarding the taxation consequences of subscribing for Securities.

The Company, its advisers and its officers do not accept any responsibility or liability for any such taxation consequences to Applicants. As a result, Applicants should consult their professional tax adviser in connection with subscribing for Securities.

6.17 Pooled Development Fund

The Company is a registered pooled development fund. The Pooled Development Fund Programme was established by the Australian Federal Government to develop the market for private venture capital for expanding small to medium enterprises (Investee Companies) and to provide a concessional tax regime to encourage such investments.


The Company as a Pooled Development Fund aims to invest capital in Australian small to medium exploration and materials companies, which represent a high risk, high return scenario. Investments by the Company will at all times be subject to the PDF Act and the Pooled Development Fund Registration Board (PDF Board). Most Pooled Development Fund shareholders are exempt from income and capital gains tax on any profit from the sale of their Pooled Development Fund shares. Additionally, despite the Pooled Development Fund tax rate concessions, Pooled Development Funds can pass on franking credits at the 30% tax rate, which allows the investors to benefit from additional franking credits.

Pooled Development Fund shareholders receiving franked dividends can choose to either be exempt from income tax (or forgo the franking credits) or assess the income in the normal fashion (including franking credits). Australian resident Pooled Development Fund shareholders are exempt from income tax on unfranked dividends. Non-resident Pooled Development Fund shareholders are exempt from withholding tax on PDF distributions. The cost of gearing into a Pooled Development Fund cannot be claimed as an investment expense for income tax purposes.

The extent of the above tax concessions and rebates to Pooled Development Funds and Pooled Development Fund shareholders depends upon a number of factors including, the source of the Pooled Development Fund income, the tax rate applicable to the Pooled Development Fund shareholder and the extent of franking on any dividends paid by the Pooled Development Fund.

The rules governing Pooled Development Funds are set out in the PDF Act, which provides for the registration of companies as Pooled Development Funds. If a Pooled Development Fund does not comply with these rules its registration as a Pooled Development Fund may be revoked by the PDF Board, in which case it and its shareholders will lose the tax concessions that attach to an investment in a Pooled Development Fund with effect from and including the beginning of the financial year in which the Pooled Development Fund's registration is cancelled. The Company has adopted these rules in its investment plan.

The main rules which a Pooled Development Fund company must comply with are as follows:

  • a Pooled Development Fund must comply with an approved investment plan;
  • no shareholder (together with that shareholder's associates) may hold more than 30% of the shares in a Pooled Development Fund without the approval of the PDF Board;
  • a Pooled Development Fund must acquire not less than 10% of the issued shares in an Investee Company in which it invests;
  • the Pooled Development Fund must not invest in retail sale operations, acquisition or disposal of an interest in land or development of land
  • a Pooled Development Fund must not invest more than 30% of its total funds in any one Investee Company; and
  • a Pooled Development Fund must not invest in businesses with over $50,000,000 in assets.

In addition to these rules the PDF Act:

  • permits Pooled Development Funds to buy-back their own shares and to return capital to their shareholders, subject to a waiting period of two years;

36


  • permits Pooled Development Funds (subject to certain restrictions) to make loans to an Investee Company in which the Pooled Development Fund already holds shares, subject to a maximum of 20% of a Pooled Development Funds capital base;
  • permits (subject to certain restrictions) Pooled Development Funds to invest in non-transferable options to acquire shares in Investee Companies in which the Pooled Development Fund already holds shares;
  • provides the PDF Board with the power to revoke registration of Pooled Development Funds that do not comply with provisions of the PDF Act; and
  • provides for compliance and performance monitoring of Pooled Development Funds by the PDF Board through regular and comprehensive reporting requirements.

In accordance with the objectives of the PDF Act, some constraints apply to investments which may be made by a Pooled Development Fund. These constraints are intended to provide some defence against risk and can be summarised as follows:

  • unless the PDF Board otherwise approves, a Pooled Development Fund may invest only in newly issued ordinary shares in Australian companies. Alternatively, a Pooled Development Fund may invest in certain other unregulated investments (for example deposits and other investments with certain banks);
  • a Pooled Development Fund must invest at least 65% of its capital within 5 years of the capital being raised;
  • unless the PDF Board approves otherwise, immediately after the Pooled Development Fund makes an investment it must hold at least 10% of the capital of the Investee Company in which it has invested (or have invested a minimum of $500,000); and
  • a Pooled Development Fund may not borrow money.

Please refer to the PDF Act for more details.

6.18 CHESS

The Company participates in the Clearing House Electronic Subregister System, known as CHESS. ASX Settlement Pty Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX, operates CHESS in accordance with the Listing Rules and the ASX Settlement Operating Rules.

The Company will not issue certificates to security holders. Rather, holding statements (similar to bank statements) will be dispatched to security holders as soon as practicable after issue.

Holding statements will be sent either by CHESS (for security holders who elect to hold Securities on the CHESS sub-register) or by the Company's share registry (for security holders who elect to hold their Securities on the issuer sponsored sub-register). The statements will set out the number of Securities issued under this Prospectus and the Holder Identification Number (for security holders who elect to hold Securities on the CHESS sub register) or Shareholder Reference Number (for security holders who elect to hold their Securities on the issuer sponsored sub-register). Updated holding statements will also be sent to each security holder following the month in which the balance of their security holding changes, and also as required by the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act.
