1. BACKGROUND TO RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2
1.1 Overview
On 17 April 2024, the Company announced it had entered into a binding share sale and purchase agreement (SPA) with ISIHC Ltd (a subsidiary of Ibaera Capital Fund LP) (Vendor) for the acquisition of all of the issued capital of Betoota Holdings Ltd (Betoota Holdings). Betoota Holdings is the owner of Zlatna Reka Resources d.o.o. (ZRR), which owns 100% interest in four exploration licences covering approximately 184 km2 in the Trepca mining district in the southern Republic of Serbia (Rogozna Project) (Acquisition). A summary of the material terms and conditions of the SPA is set out in Section 1.3.
The Rogozna Project contains a JORC compliant inferred Mineral Resource totalling 5.44Moz Au Eq (2.96Moz Au, 214kt Cu and 364kt Zn) with additional significant exploration potential. Further information in relation to the Rogozna Project is set out in Section 1.2 of this Explanatory Statement and the ASX announcement released on 17 April 2024.
1.2 Overview of the Project
The Rogozna Project contains a large-scale gold-base metal system located within a geologically favourable position in the Serbian Cenozoic igneous province located within the globally significant Tethyan Metallogenic Belt.
The tenure comprising four exploration licences covering approximately 184 km2 and is 100% held by local company ZRR (Exploration Licences).
Location and Access
The Rogozna Project is located in the Raška District of southern Republic of Serbia, approximately 10- 12 kilometres from the regional centre of Novi Pazar and around 300 kilometres south of the capital, Belgrade. Serbia has an established mining industry with a long history of large-scale producing assets and is Europe's second largest copper producer. Multiple major mining companies are active in country including BHP, Vale, Zijin Mining, Kinross Gold, Dundee Precious Metals and Rio Tinto.

Figure 1: Rogozna Project Location
Access to the Rogozna Project area is via regional highways and within the Rogozna Project area via a combination of sealed and non-sealed well-maintained roads and tracks. The Rogozna Project is located adjacent to the border with Kosovo to the south and east, whilst the border crossing with Montenegro is located approximately 40 kilometres to the southwest.

Please refer to announcement dated 17 April 2024 for full details regarding the Mineral Resources. The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the market announcement and that the material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the resource estimate continue to apply and have not materially changed.
For Shanac (April 2023) Au Eq grade is based on metal prices of gold (US$1,750/oz), copper (US$10,000/t), silver (US$25/oz), lead (US$2,200/t), zinc (US$3,000/t), and metallurgical recoveries of 80% for all metals. For Copper Canyon (October 2023) Au Eq grade based on metal prices of gold (US$1,750/oz), copper (US$10,000/t), and metallurgical recoveries of 80% for both metals. The Company believes that the metal equivalents have a reasonable prospect of economic extraction.
Exploration
Prospecting and mining first occurred in the Rogozna area in the Roman era. From 1950 to 1961 exploration activities were undertaken by the Trepca lead-zinc-silver mining complex (a large conglomerate of mines and factories) and Geozavod (a state-based exploration enterprise), targeting Pb-Zn-Ag mineralisation at Copper Canyon and Medenovac. Historical exploration activities continued from 2004 to 2019 by various mining companies with extensive work activities including geological mapping, geochemical rock chip and soil surveys, geophysical surveys, drilling, and preliminary metallurgical test work.
Zlatna Reka Resources has completed two main phases of diamond drilling in 2020 and 2021 with one additional hole drilled in 2023. An additional two holes have been drilled in early 2024 at the Medenovac Prospect, with assay results expected shortly. ZRR has also undertaken geological mapping, stream and soil sediment geochemical surveys and geophysical surveys. Zlatna Reka Resources has also completed detailed interrogation of the historical data to gain a better understanding of the geology, controls on mineralisation and the quality aspects of historical data for confidence in using the data as input for Mineral Resource estimation. There has been no significant mining at the Rogozna Project, with only minor excavations limited to non-material volumes associated with historic workings and exploratory adits.
Drilling at the Rogozna Project spans several decades from 1957 to 2022 with analytical data being available for holes post 1961. Total drilling includes 182 diamond drill holes for a total of 100,848 metres. Since 2020, ZRR has drilled 33 holes for a total of 22,674 metres to confirm previous drill results and provide extensional and infill drilling as support for the Mineral Resource.
Exploration Strategy
On completion of the Acquisition, Strickland proposes to undertake comprehensive exploration programs across each of the four defined deposit/prospects, focusing on high-grade mineralisation zones and new discoveries as outlined below.
Exploration at the Shanac deposit will focus on infill and extensional drilling of the higher-grade mineralisation zones aimed at increasing confidence in future Mineral Resources and adding volume to the current estimated Inferred Mineral Resource.
At the Medenovac Project, the Company intends to focus drilling on extending the high-grade zinccopper-gold core along strike with the aim of delivering a maiden Inferred Mineral Resource. Medenovac is also considered a high-priority target for the discovery of deeper porphyry-style mineralisation indicated by its distinctive strongly oxidised, hematite bearing vein assemblage. Additional exploration will attempt to assess the underlying porphyry-potential of this high order prospect area.
At the Gradina Prospect, the Company intends to focus infill drilling of currently defined lodes, with the aim of extending high-grade gold lodes up dip towards the surface and defining a maiden Inferred Mineral Resource.
At Copper Canyon, drilling will target potential near surface extensions to the current Mineral Resource.
In addition to infill and extensional drilling of the identified skarn-hosted deposits, the Company intends to drill-test several of the other identified targets within the project area.
It is planned that at Completion of the Acquisition, drilling will be undertaken by a minimum of three diamond rigs with drilling at the primary targets at Shanac, Medenovac, Gradina and Copper Canyon. An additional diamond rig will be allocated to assess high-order undrilled exploration targets including Cu-Au porphyry targets.
Complementing the exploration programs, soil geochemistry programs and geophysical programs will continue. Further metallurgical testwork will also be carried out in defined Mineral Resource areas.
