EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

This Explanatory Memorandum contains an explanation of, and information about, the Resolutions to be considered at the General Meeting of Shareholders of Sunstone Metals Limited to be held on Monday, 23 February 2026.

The Explanatory Memorandum is to assist Shareholders in understanding the background to and the legal and other implications of the Notice of Meeting and the reasons for the Resolutions proposed. Shareholders should read the Explanatory Memorandum in full.

The Explanatory Memorandum forms part of the accompanying Notice of Meeting and should be read with the Notice of Meeting.

The Explanatory Memorandum does not take into account the individual investment objectives, financial situation and needs of individual Shareholders or any other person. If you are in doubt about what to do in relation to the Resolutions, you should consult your financial or other professional adviser.

Capitalised words used in the Notice of Meeting and in the Explanatory Memorandum are defined in the Glossary at the end of the Explanatory Memorandum.

The information contained in this Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared by the Company and is the responsibility of the Company. Other than the information set out in this Explanatory Memorandum, the Directors believe that there is no other information that could reasonably be required by Shareholders to consider Resolutions 1 to 5 (inclusive).

A copy of this Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum was lodged with ASX pursuant to the Listing Rules. Neither ASX nor any of its officers take any responsibility for the contents of this Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum.

RESOLUTION 1 – Ratification of the prior issue of Placement Shares under Listing Rule 7.1

Background

Resolution 1 seeks ratification by Shareholders of the issue of 416,842,106 Shares ( Placement Shares ) to the Allottees set out below on 16 December 2025.

The Placement was undertaken under the Company’s annual 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1

Listing Rule 7.1 provides, in summary, that a listed company may not issue equity securities in any 12-month period which exceeds 15% of the number of issued securities of the company held at the beginning of the 12-month period, except with the prior approval of shareholders of the company in general meeting, unless an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 applies.

The issue of Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, thereby reducing the Company's ability to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval for the 12 month period following the Placement.

However, Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue of equity securities made without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1 if:

  • the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • holders of ordinary securities subsequently approve it.

The issue of the Placement Shares did not result in the Company breaching the 15% limit referred to in Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, under Listing Rule 7.4, Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for and ratification of the issue of the Placement Shares to provide flexibility for the Company to issue equity securities under its 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 in the 12 months following the Placement without the requirement to obtain shareholder approval.

7

If shareholders approve Resolution 1, the issue of the Placement Shares will not count towards determining the number of equity securities which the Company can issue under its 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (effectively increasing the number of securities the Company can issue in the 12-month period following the Placement).

However, if shareholders do not approve Resolution 1, the issue of the Placement Shares will count towards determining the number of equity securities which the Company can issue under its 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (effectively reducing the number of securities that the Company can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Placement).

Listing Rule disclosure

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the issue of Shares, the subject of Resolution 1:

Required disclosure

RESOLUTIONS 2, 3, and 4 - Approval for issue of shares to three Directors at the Placement price

Background

Resolutions 2, 3, and 4 seek to obtain shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of a total of 4,210,526 fully paid ordinary shares ( Director Shares ) to three (3) Directors of the Company (raising approximately $80,000 before costs) as described in the table below:

Post Consolidation1 Post Consolidation1
Director Shares Issue Price (per
share)
Shares Issue Price (per
share)
Mr Patrick Duffy 1,842,105 $0.019 (1.9 cents) 61,404 $0.57 (57 cents)
Mr Neal O’Connor 1,315,789 $0.019 (1.9 cents) 43,860 $0.57 (57 cents)
Mr Stephen Stroud 1,052,632 $0.019 (1.9 cents) 35,088 $0.57 (57 cents)

Note 1: Information provided to reflect the impact on the proposed share consolidation on the number of shares that will be issued should Resolution 5 be approved.

Listing Rules

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue equity securities to specific persons including a related party, which includes a Director, without shareholder approval. If approval is given under Listing Rule 10.11, approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1.

The issue of the Director Shares falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

If Resolutions 2 to 4 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Shares and will raise approximately $80,000 before costs.

If Resolutions 2 to 4 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Shares and will need to seek alternative funding.

Corporations Act 2001 (Cth)

Pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, a public company cannot give “a financial benefit” to a “related party”, which includes a director, unless one of the exceptions to the section apply or shareholders, at a general meeting, approve the giving of that financial benefit to the related party.

Section 210 of the Corporations Act provides that one of the exceptions to the requirement to obtain shareholder approval for giving a financial benefit to a related party is where the benefit is given at arm’s length, that is on terms that:

  • (a) would be reasonable in the circumstances if the public company and the related party were dealing at arms’ length; or

  • (b) are less favourable to the related party than the terms referred to in paragraph (a).

The Directors (other than Mr Duffy) consider that the proposed issue of securities the subject of Resolution 2 is on reasonable arm’s length terms because it is occurring on the same terms including price as the issue of the Placement Shares and the allocation of shares to Mr Duffy was determined on an arm's length basis, within the exception set out in section 210 of the Corporations Act.

The Directors (other than Mr O’Connor) consider that the proposed issue of securities the subject of Resolution 3 is on reasonable arm’s length terms because it is occurring on the same terms including price as the issue of the Placement Shares and the allocation of shares to Mr O’Connor

9

was determined on an arm's length basis, within the exception set out in section 210 of the Corporations Act.

The Directors (other than Mr Stroud) consider that the proposed issue of securities the subject of Resolution 4 is on reasonable arm’s length terms because it is occurring on the same terms including price as the issue of the Placement Shares and the allocation of shares to Mr Stroud was determined on an arm's length basis, within the exception set out in section 210 of the Corporations Act.

RESOLUTION 2 – Approval for issue of shares to Director – Mr Patrick Duffy

The following information is provided in accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 10.13:

  • a) The securities the subject of Resolution 2 are to be issued to Mr Duffy (or his nominee/s), who falls within category 10.11.1 under Listing Rule 10 as he is a related party as a director of the Company;

  • b) The maximum number of shares to be issued is 1,842,105 fully paid ordinary shares;

  • c) The securities will be issued no later than one (1) month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as may be permitted by an ASX waiver of the Listing Rules);

  • d) The issue price of the shares will be $0.019 (1.9 cents) per share;

  • e) The shares will rank equally with the Company's existing listed fully paid ordinary shares. The Company will apply to ASX for admission of the shares issued for quotation on ASX;

  • f) The issue of securities to Mr Duffy will raise approximately $ 35,000 before costs. Funds raised by the issue of securities to Mr Duffy will be used, together with the other funds raised under the Placement, to fund the scoping study at Bramaderos, further exploration drilling, concession fees and provide working capital for the Company as described above.

Mr Duffy declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 2 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution. The other Directors, who do not have a material interest in the outcome of Resolution 2, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2. The Board, other than Mr Duffy, are not aware of any other information which would reasonably be required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolution 2.

Recommendation: The Board, with Mr Duffy abstaining, unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

RESOLUTION 3 – Approval for issue of shares to Director – Mr Neal O’Connor

The following information is provided in accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 10.13:

  • a) The securities the subject of Resolution 3 are to be issued to Mr O’Connor (or his nominee/s), who falls within category 10.11.1 under Listing Rule 10 as he is a related party as a director of the Company;

  • b) The maximum number of shares to be issued is 1,315,789 fully paid ordinary shares;

  • c) The securities will be issued no later than one (1) month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as may be permitted by an ASX waiver of the Listing Rules);

  • d) The issue price of the shares will be $0.019 (1.9 cents) per share;

  • e) The shares will rank equally with the Company's existing listed fully paid ordinary shares. The Company will apply to ASX for admission of the shares issued for quotation on ASX;

  • f) The issue of securities to Mr O’Connor will raise approximately $ 25,000 before costs. Funds raised by the issue of securities to Mr O’Connor will be used, together with the other funds raised under the Placement, to fund the scoping study at Bramaderos, further exploration drilling, concession fees and provide working capital for the Company as described above.

Mr O’Connor declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 3 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution. The other Directors, who do

10

not have a material interest in the outcome of Resolution 3, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3. The Board, other than Mr O’Connor, are not aware of any other information which would reasonably be required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolution 3.

Recommendation: The Board, with Mr O’Connor abstaining, unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

  • e) The shares will rank equally with the Company's existing listed fully paid ordinary shares. The Company will apply to ASX for admission of the shares issued for quotation on ASX;

The Board, other than Mr Stroud, are not aware of any other information which would reasonably be required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolution 4.

RESOLUTION 5 – Consolidation of capital

5.1 Background

The Company is seeking the approval of Shareholders for the purposes of section 254 of the Corporations Act and for all other purposes to consolidate its issued capital on a 30:1 basis, subject to rounding in accordance with section 5.4 below.

References to numbers of Securities in this Notice are on a post-Consolidation basis unless specified otherwise.

If the Consolidation proceeds, the Company’s Options and Performance Rights on issue will also be consolidated in accordance with their terms on a 30 for 1 basis.

5.2 Corporations Act and Listing Rule requirements

Section 254H of the Corporations Act provides that a company may, by resolution passed in a general meeting, convert all or any of its shares into a larger or smaller number.

Listing Rule 7.20 provides that if an entity proposes to reorganise its capital, it must tell shareholders of each of the following:

  • a) The effect of the proposal on the number of securities and the amount unpaid (if any) of the securities;

  • b) The proposed treatment of any fractional entitlements arising from the reorganization; and

  • c) The proposed treatment of any convertible securities on issue.

Listing Rule 7.21 provides that an entity which has convertible securities (except options) on issue may only reorganise its capital it, in respect of the convertible securities, the number of securities or the conversion price, or both, is reorganized so that the holder of the convertible securities will not receive a benefit that holders of ordinary securities do not receive.

Listing Rule 7.22 provides that where an entity with options on issue undertakes a consolidation of its issued capital, the number of options must be consolidated in the same ratio as the ordinary capital and the exercise price must be amended in inverse proportion to that ratio.

5.3 Effect on capital structure

The effect which the Consolidation will have on the Company’s current capital structure is set out in the table below. The capital structure below is at 15 January 2026.

Note: 8,300,000 Performance Rights currently on issue (276,667 post-Consolidation, subject to fractional entitlements) approved at the Annual General Meeting on 17 October 2023 will vest subject to a Total Shareholder Return performance metric as measured against the ASX Small Resource Index.

5.4 Fractional entitlements

Where the Consolidation (and associated consolidation of the Options and Performance Rights) result in an entitlement to a fraction of a Share, Option or Performance Right (as applicable) that fraction will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of Shares, Options or Performance Rights (as applicable).

13

However, if the Company is of the opinion that a security holder has, before the record date for the Consolidation, been party to share splitting or division in an attempt to obtain an unfair advantage by reference to such rounding, the Company may aggregate the holdings of that security holder before applying any rounding of entitlements.

Each security holder’s proportional interest in the Company’s issued capital will, however, remain unchanged as a result of the Consolidation (other than minor variations resulting from rounding).

5.5 Indicative timetable

If this Resolution is passed, the Consolidation will take effect in accordance with the following indicative timetable:

5.6 Holding statements

With effect from the date of the Consolidation, all holding statements for Securities will cease to have any effect, except as evidence of entitlement to a certain number of Securities on a postConsolidation basis.

After the Consolidation becomes effective, the Company will arrange for new holding statements for Securities to be issued to holders of those Securities.

It is the responsibility of each security holder to check the number of securities held prior to disposal or exercise (as the case may be).

5.7 Taxation

The Consolidation is not expected to have any taxation implications for security holders. However, security holders are advised to seek their own tax advice on the effect of the Consolidation and neither the Company, the Directors, nor their advisers, accept any responsibility for the individual taxation implications arising from the Consolidation.

Recommendation: The Board unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.
