Risks
You should read this document in its entirety and, if in any doubt, consult your professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares. There are risks associated with an investment in the Company. The Shares offered under this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to return on capital investment, payment of dividends or the future value of the Shares. Refer to Section D of the Investment Overview as well as Section 7 for details relating to some of the key risk factors that should be considered by prospective investors. There may be risk factors in addition to these that should be considered in light of your personal circumstances.
Forward-looking statements
This Prospectus contains forwardlooking statements which are identified by words such as ‘may’, ‘could’, ‘believes’, ‘estimates’, ‘targets’, ‘expects’, or ‘intends’ and other similar words that involve risks and uncertainties.
These statements are based on an assessment of present economic and operating conditions, and on a number of assumptions regarding future events and actions that, as at the date of this Prospectus, are expected to take place.
Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, the Directors and the Company’s management.
The Company cannot and does not give any assurance that the results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus will actually occur and investors are cautioned not
to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
The Company has no intention to update or revise forward-looking statements, or to publish prospective financial information in the future, regardless of whether new information, future events or any other factors affect the information contained in this Prospectus, except where required by law.
These forward looking statements are subject to various risk factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or anticipated in these statements. These risk factors are set out in Section 7.
Financial Forecasts
The Directors have considered the matters set out in ASIC Regulatory Guide 170 and believe that they do not have a reasonable basis to forecast future earnings on the basis that the operations of the Company are inherently uncertain. Accordingly, any forecast or projection information would contain such a broad range of potential outcomes and possibilities that it is not possible to prepare a reliable best estimate forecast or projection.
Competent Persons statement
The information in the Investment Overview Section of the Prospectus, included at Section 3, the Company and Projects Overview, included at Section 5, and the Independent Geologist’s Report, included at Annexure A of the Prospectus, which relate to exploration results is based on information compiled by Mr Chris Ramsay. Mr Ramsay has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which they are undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves’ (the JORC Code ). Mr Ramsay is a Non-Executive Director of the Company. Mr Ramsay consents to the inclusion of the information in these Sections of the Prospectus in the form and context in which it appears.
Continuous disclosure obligations
Following admission of the Company to the Official List, the Company will be a “disclosing entity” (as defined in section 111AC of the Corporations Act) and, as such, will be subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations. Specifically, like all listed companies, the Company will be required to continuously disclose any information it has to the market which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or the value of the Shares.
Price sensitive information will be publicly released through ASX before it is disclosed to Shareholders and market participants. Distribution of other information to Shareholders and market participants will also be managed through disclosure to the ASX. In addition, the Company will post this information on its website after the ASX confirms an announcement has been made, with the aim of making the information readily accessible to the widest audience.
Clearing House Electronic SubRegister System (CHESS) and Issuer Sponsorship
The Company will apply to participate in CHESS, for those investors who have, or wish to have, a sponsoring stockbroker. Investors who do not wish to participate through CHESS will be issuer sponsored by the Company.
Electronic sub-registers mean that the Company will not be issuing certificates to investors. Instead, investors will be provided with statements (similar to a bank account statement) that set out the number of Shares issued to them under this Prospectus. The notice will also advise holders of their Holder Identification Number or Security Holder Reference Number and explain, for future reference, the sale and purchase procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship.
Electronic sub-registers also mean ownership of securities can be transferred without having to rely upon paper documentation. Further monthly statements will be provided to holders if there have been any changes in their security holding in the Company during the preceding month.

1. CHAIRPERSON’S LETTER
Dear Investor,
On behalf of the Directors, I am pleased to present this Prospectus to invest in Tambourah Metals Ltd (the Company or Tambourah Metals ).
Tambourah Metals is an Australian based gold, nickel and platinum group element exploration company focussed on the evaluation, advancement and development of mineral exploration project opportunities in Western Australia.
The Company intends to commence on ground fieldwork at Cheela and Tambourah in the Pilbara while geophysical surveys are initiated at Julimar North.
At the Tambourah Gold Project the company plans to explore for new areas of gold mineralisation within the historical gold mining centre. There are near surface drilling results from the 2019 drilling programs which is discussed in the Independent Geologist Report in Appendix A. At Cheela Gold Project the first stage of exploration work will be to evaluate the previous exploration and drilling information from the last 30 years. A comprehensive work program is detailed in Section 5.4 of the Prospectus and in the Independent Geologist’s Report in Annexure A. Exploration will also commence on the Company’s nickel and platinum group element project (the Julimar North Project), which is located within 100km of Perth. The program will include geophysical and geochemical analysis initially.
This Prospectus has been issued by the Company for an initial public offering of 25,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.20 per Share to raise $5,000,000 before costs ( Minimum Subscription ). Oversubscriptions of up to a further 15,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.20 per Share to raise a further $3,000,000 may be accepted. The purpose of the Offer is to provide funds to implement the Company’s business strategies (explained in Section 5).
The funds raised under this Prospectus will support the exploration and development of the Tambourah and Cheela Gold projects. It will also facilitate the exploration and development of the Achilles and Julimar North Ni-PGE Projects.
Details of the Offer, the Company, the exploration programs, together with a statement of the risks associated with investing in Tambourah Metals, are included in this Prospectus. Key risks include exploration and operating risks, results of studies, additional requirements for capital and third-party interests.
I recommend that you study the Prospectus carefully and seek independent professional advice before investing in Tambourah Metals Ltd.

Section 5 |
| D. Key Risks |
||
| Conditional Prospectus |
This Prospectus is conditional upon the Conditions being satisfied or waived. The Conditions are set out in Section 4.6. There is no certainty that the Conditions will be satisfied. In the event that these conditions are not met then the listing of the Company on ASX will not proceed and all Application Monies received will be returned to applicants without interest. |
Section 7 |
| Exploration and operating |
The mineral exploration licences comprising the Projects are at various |
Section 7 |
4
5478-01/2669372_13
| Item | Summary | Further information |
|---|---|---|
| stages of exploration, and potential investors should understand that mineral exploration and development are high- risk undertakings. There can be no assurance that future exploration of these licences, or any other mineral licences that may be acquired in the future, will result in the discovery of an economic resource. Even if an apparently viable resource is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited. |
||
| Additional requirements for capital |
The Company’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors. The Company may require further financing in addition to amounts raised under the Offer. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations and scale back its exploration programmes as the case may be. There is however no guarantee that the Company will be able to secure any additional funding or be able to secure funding on terms favourable to the Company. |
Section 7 |
| Results of studies | Subject to the results of exploration and testing programs to be undertaken, the Company plans to progressively undertake a number of studies in respect to the Project. These studies may include pre-feasibility and definitive feasibility studies. These studies will be completed within parameters designed to determine the economic feasibility of the Project within certain limits. There can be no guarantee that any of the studies will confirm the economic viability of the Project or the results of other studies undertaken by the Company (for example, the results of a feasibility study may materially differ to the results of a pre-feasibility study). Even if a study confirms the economic viability of the Project, there can be no guarantee that the Project will be successfully brought into production as assumed or within the estimated parameters in the feasibility study (e.g. |

|||

5. COMPANY AND PROJECTS OVERVIEW
5.1 Background
The Company was incorporated on 16th December 2020 as a public company limited by shares to pursue gold, nickel-PGEs exploration opportunities and prepare to list on the ASX.
Ms Rita Brooks and Baracus Pty Ltd ( Baracus ) (vendor) compiled a portfolio of tenements that comprise the Tambourah, Cheela, Julimar North and Achilles projects in Western Australia.
The Company has acquired a 100% interest in the Tenements comprising the Tambourah, Cheela (excluding iron ore) and Achilles Projects and an 80% interest in the Tenements comprising the Julimar North Project.
5.2
Projects
As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company is not the registered owner of the Tenements, however, for the granted Tenements, transfers have been lodged the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety and are awaiting endorsement of the duty assessment by the Office of State Revenue.
Transfer of the Tenements cannot be registered until such time as the duty is paid, and the stamped documents are received.
The Board has no reason to believe that the transfers of the Tenements in the name of the Company will not be completed in the ordinary course of business.
With respect to the two Tenement applications at the Julimar North Project:
-
(a) Baracus will hold the respective rights and interests in the applications on trust for the Company;
-
(b) Baracus authorises the Company, at the Company’s cost, to pursue the applications and procure their grant; and
-
(c) the Company will be responsible for the conduct of the determination of the applications as it determines in its sole discretion.
From the date of settlement of the acquisition of the Tenements until the date the Company becomes the registered holder, Baracus grants the Company the exclusive licence, right and liberty to enter (by its personnel, and with or without vehicles and plant and equipment) the Tenements (to the extent they are granted) for the purposes of carrying out mining operations (as that term is defined in the Mining Act), which licence is given for the purposes of section 118A of the Mining Act.
Further details with respect to the Projects are set out in Section 5.2 below and in the Independent Geologist’s Report in Annexure A.
The material terms of the acquisition agreement pertaining to the Tenements is set out in Section 9.2.
5.2.1 Tambourah Project (100% ownership interest)
The Tambourah Project is located 85km southwest of Marble Bar in the East Pilbara district of Western Australia. The Tambourah Project covers an area of
22

Figure 2 Cheela tenement location plan with historic drill results
Refer to Appendix D of the Independent Geologist’s Report for full drill results.
The Project has a long exploration history dating back to 1980s. Exploration returned significant gold anomalism in the holes drilled in and around the Cheela gold prospect. Gold anomalism along the Cheela Fault and Nanjilgardy Fault systems warrants further follow-up and deeper down-dip drilling. There are several identified drilling targets and anomalies (geological, geophysical and geochemical) will require further exploration.
Post listing, the Company plans to commence the following activities at the Cheela Project:
-
compilation of geological, geochemical and geophysical data-sets to identify and develop drill targets;
-
geophysical surveys, interpretation and evaluation; and
-
drill testing of known priority targets.
Refer to Section 4 of the Independent Geologist’s Report in Annexure A for further information with respect to the Cheela Project.
5.2.3 Achilles Project (100% ownership interest)
The Achilles Project is located 200km north of Laverton and about 190km east of Wiluna, Western Australia. The Project comprises two granted Exploration Licences (E 38/3317, E 38/3153). The tenement package covers an area of approximately 22,654 ha.
26

Figure 3 Achilles tenements location plan
The Achilles Project is located 2 km north of the Troy Ni-Cu-PGE prospect at the Collurabbie project within the Archean Gerry Well greenstone belt. The Collurabbie project comprises a series of Ni-Cu-PGE prospects hosted in komatiiteassociated ultramafic and includes the Olympia deposit, the most significant of these. Regional aeromagnetics data suggests that these ultramafics extend north into the Achilles Project.
In 2006 a ground EM survey was carried out by the Creasy Group over the southern part of the project. The EM survey generated 20 anomalous targets. Previous drilling within the mineralised ultramafic unit intersected a thick porphyry unit and may represent potential remobilisation of Ni-PGE, Cu sulphides. Previous exploration work demonstrates the Project area is prospective for Ni-Cu-PGE and gold mineralisation and warrants follow-up work. There are several identified anomalies (geological, geophysical and geochemical) that require additional work.
27
5478-01/2669372_13
Post listing, the Company proposes to conduct the following exploration activities to identify and develop anomalous nickel, copper, cobalt and platinum group elements on the Achillies Project by identifying and developing targets for drill testing by:
-
field mapping and rock chip geochemistry;
-
completing a compilation and interpretation of the Achilles Project geology and geochemical dataset; and
-
drill testing high-priority targets.
Refer to Section 5 of the Independent Geologist’s Report in Annexure A for further information with respect to the Achillies Project.
5.2.4 Julimar North Project (80% interest 20% Baracus Pty Ltd)
The Julimar North Project is located about 100km of Perth and is within the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia, which comprises of two granted Exploration Licence (E 70/5411 and E 70/5423) and two pending Exploration Licences under application (E 70/5407 and E70/5408). The tenement package covers an area of approximately 50,828 ha.
The Julimar North Project is located within the Jimperding metamorphic belt which straddles the Lake Grace/ Boddington ‘terrane’ boundary.

Figure 4 Julimar North tenements location plan with regional geophysics
The recent discovery of the Julimar Ni-PGE & Au-Cu deposit by Chalice Mining Limited (approximately 35 km southeast of E 70/5407 and 40 km west of E 70/5423) has opened up the region for new exploration for Ni-PGE & Au-Cu within province.
Exploration Potential at Julimar North Project:
Exploration for magmatic Ni-PGE sulphides in the region has gained significant impetus from the recent discoveries at the nearby Julimar mafic–ultramafic complex by Chalice Mines Limited. This is located approximately 35 km southeast of E 70/5407 and 40 km west of E 70/5423.
Caspin Resources Limited have grouped the mafic–ultramafic intrusive rocks in the region to be part of the ‘New Norcia nickel sulphide province’ at Yarawindah Brook (refer to Caspin Resources Limited ASX announcement dated 24 May 2021 CPN:ASX). Mineralisation within the nearby Yarawindah Brook and the Newleyine prospects suggests that mafic–ultramafic rocks may be situated within the Company’s Julimar North Projects.
29
5478-01/2669372_13
The Caravel Minerals Ltd copper-gold project is located approximately 12 km east of E 70/5408 with a reported Mineral Resource comprising the Bindi, Dasher and Opie deposits. The mineralisation at the prospects is believed to be a porphyry or skarn deposit style which occurs within a possible larger scale Archean subduction-related geological setting.
Post listing, the Company will conduct a multi-disciplinary review to develop mineralisation models to propose additional exploration work at the Julimar North Project, which may include:
-
geophysical surveys, evaluation and interpretation;
-
working with other tenure holders (such as pastoral land holders) to manage appropriate land access agreements and manage the environment;
-
field work including geochemical sampling and field mapping; and
-
drill testing high priority targets.
Refer to Section 6 of the Independent Geologist’s Report in Annexure A for further information with respect to the Julimar North Project.
5.3
Business model
The Company proposes to commence exploration on the Projects as soon as the Offer is completed. The exploration program is proposed to include the following:
-
(a) ground checking of the geological, geochemical and geophysical anomalies;
-
(b) geophysical surveys, including detailed AMAG/RAD/DEM/HEM/VTEM;
-
(c) undertaking and interpreting all geochemical/geophysical data and develop drilling targets;
-
(d) RC and diamond drilling programs;
-
(e) ongoing interpretation, geological modelling and, subject to successful exploration, resource estimation;
-
(f) undertaking metallurgical test work; and
-
(g) engineering and infrastructure studies.
The Company will review previous exploration data (including geophysics, geochemical, drilling etc) followed by reconnaissance fieldwork. At Julimar North, the Company will focus on the geological controls on Ni-PGE and Au-Cu mineralisation.
5.4 Proposed Exploration Program and Development Plan
The primary focus of the Company is to focus on mineral exploration aimed at discovering a significant gold, nickel-PGE resource that has potential to deliver growth to the Company’s shareholders.
In order to achieve this objective following the Company’s admission to the Official List, the Company proposes to undertake the exploration programs outlined below and further explained in the Independent Geologist Report (Refer
30
5478-01/2669372_13
to Annexure A for further information). The results of this exploration will determine the economic viability and possible timing for the commencement of further drilling, exploration activities, potential pre-feasibility and mining activities in due course.
The Company intends to actively consider and pursue acquisitions that are strategic in terms of the overall objective of the Company, as well as complimentary to its existing operations, where deemed appropriate or in the interests of its shareholders. For any potential acquisition, the Board will consider the most appropriate funding arrangement, having regard to the condition of the market at that point in time. Such funding may be by way of payment of consideration in cash, equity or a combination of both.
The results will also determine whether the Company reviews its current Tenement holding and elects to reduce, apply for, or acquire new tenement interests, whether through joint venture or acquisition.

budgeted working capital expenditure towards the newly granted Julimar North Tenements. Such decisions will be based on the circumstances of the Company at the time (including the prospectivity of the Company’s Projects) and will account for the results from exploration activities undertaken by the Company.
-
To the extent that:
-
(a) the Company’s exploration activities warrant further exploration activities; or
-
(b) the Company is presented with additional acquisition opportunities,
the Company’s working capital will fund such further exploration and acquisition costs (including due diligence investigations and expert’s fees in relation to such acquisitions). Any amounts not so expended will be applied toward administration costs for the period following the initial 2-year period following the Company’s quotation on ASX.
It is anticipated that the funds raised under the Offer will enable 2 years of full operations (if the Minimum Subscription is raised). It should be noted that the Company may not be fully self-funding through its own operational cash flow at the end of this period. Accordingly, the Company may require additional capital beyond this point, which will likely involve the use of additional debt or equity funding. Future capital needs will also depend on the success or failure of Projects. The use of further debt or equity funding will be considered by the Board where it is appropriate to fund additional exploration on the Projects or to capitalise on acquisition opportunities in the resources sector.
The above table is a statement of current intentions as of the date of this Prospectus. As with any budget, intervening events (including exploration success or failure) and new circumstances (including the grant of the tenement applications at the Julimar North Project) have the potential to affect the manner in which the funds are ultimately applied. The Board reserves the right to alter the way funds are applied on this basis.
The Directors consider that following completion of the Offer, the Company will have sufficient working capital to carry out its stated objectives. It should however be noted that an investment in the Company is speculative and investors are encouraged to read the risk factors outlined in Section 7.

6.7 Notes to and Forming Part of the Historical Financial Information
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Basis of Accounting
The Historical Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the measurement and recognition (but not the disclosure) requirements of Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001.
The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis, are based on historical cost and except where stated do not take into account changing money values or current valuations of selected noncurrent assets, financial assets and financial liabilities. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
The preparation of the Statement of Financial Position requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the Statement of Financial Position are disclosed where appropriate.
The pro forma statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020 represents the reviewed financial position and adjusted for the transactions discussed in Note 2 to this report. The Statement of Financial Position should be read in conjunction with the notes set out in this report.
(b) Going Concern
The financial information has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The entity’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the success of the Offer. The Directors believe that the entity will continue as a going concern. As a result, the financial information has been prepared on a going concern basis. However, should the Offer be unsuccessful, the entity may not be able to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made relating to the recoverability and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the entity not continue as a going concern.
(c) Exploration and Evaluation Assets
Costs incurred during exploration and evaluations relating to an area of interest are accumulated. Costs are carried forward to the extent they are expected to be recouped through successful development, or by sale, or where exploration and evaluation activities have not yet reached a stage to allow a reasonable assessment regarding the existence of economically recoverable reserves. In these instances the entity must have rights of tenure to the area of interest and must be continuing to undertake exploration operations in the area.
43
5478-01/2669372_13
Accumulated costs carried forward in respect of an area of interest that is abandoned are written off in full against profit in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made. When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest will be amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves.
A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to capitalise costs in relation to that area of interest.
Costs of site restoration are provided over the life of the project from when exploration commences and are included in the costs of that stage. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of mining plant, equipment and building structures, waste removal, and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with clauses of the mining permits. Such costs have been estimated of future costs, current legal requirements and technology on an undiscounted basis.
(d) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the statement of cash flows presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents also includes bank overdrafts, which are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.
(e) Trade and Other Payables
Liability for trade creditors and other amounts are carried at amortised cost, which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received, whether or not billed.
(f) Trade and Other receivables
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days.
The Company has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance.
Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses.
(g) Borrowings
Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
44
5478-01/2669372_13
- (h) Contributed Equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
(i) Revenue
The Company recognises revenue as follows:
Interest
Revenue is recognised as the interest accrues (using the effective interest method, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument) to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.
Other revenue
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.
- (j) Income Tax
Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:
-
(i) Where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
-
(ii) In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.
Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the financial period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
45
5478-01/2669372_13
Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same tax authority.
(k) Impairment of Assets
At the end of each reporting period, the directors assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources of information including dividends received from subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities deemed to be out of pre-acquisition profits. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, to the asset’s carrying amount. Any excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its recoverable amount is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount in accordance with another Accounting Standard.
Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease in accordance with that other Standard. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill, intangible assets with indefinite lives and intangible assets not yet available for use.
(l) Goods and Services Tax ( GST )
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:
-
(i) Where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and
-
(ii) Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority, are classified as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.
46
5478-01/2669372_13
(m) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial statements based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Company. In the opinion of the directors, there are no critical accounting estimates or judgments in this financial report. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below.
Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or may have, on the Company based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the Company operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the Company unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

6.8 Dividend policy
The Company anticipates that significant expenditure will be incurred in the evaluation and development of the Company’s Projects. These activities, together with the possible acquisition of interests in other projects, are expected to dominate at least, the first two-year period following the date of this Prospectus. Accordingly, the Company does not expect to declare any dividends during that period.
Any future determination as to the payment of dividends by the Company will be at the discretion of the Directors and will depend on the availability of distributable earnings and the operating results and financial condition of the Company, future capital requirements and general business and other factors considered relevant by the Directors. No assurance in relation to the payment of dividends or franking credits attaching to dividends can be given by the Company.

Before determining whether to invest in the Company you should ensure that you have a sufficient understanding of the risks described in this Section 7 and all of the other information set out in this Prospectus and consider whether an investment in the Company is suitable for you, taking into account your objectives, financial situation and needs.
If you do not understand any matters contained in this Prospectus or have any queries about whether to invest in the Company, you should consult your accountant, financial adviser, stockbroker, lawyer or other professional adviser.
7.2 Company specific risks
| Risk Category | Risk |
|---|---|
| Conditional Prospectus |
This Prospectus is conditional upon the Conditions being satisfied or waived. The Conditions are set out in Section 4.6. There is no certainty that the Conditions will be satisfied. In the event that these conditions are not met then the listing of the Company on ASX will not proceed and all Application Monies reveived will be returned to applicants without interest. |
| Limited history | Having been incorporated on 16 December 2020, the Company does not have any operating history, although it should be noted that the Directors have between them significant operational experience. No assurances can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the successful exploration and/or mining of its Tenements. Until the Company is able to realise value from its Projects, it is likely to incur ongoing operating losses. |
55
5478-01/2669372_13
| Risk Category | Risk |
|---|---|
| Exploration and operating |
The mineral exploration licences comprising the Projects are at various stages of exploration, and potential investors should understand that mineral exploration and development are high-risk undertakings. There can be no assurance that future exploration on these licences, or any other mineral licences that may be acquired in the future, will result in the discovery of an economic resource. Even if an apparently viable resource is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited. The future exploration activities of the Company may be affected by a range of factors including geological conditions, limitations on activities due to seasonal weather patterns or adverse weather conditions, unanticipated operational and technical difficulties, difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment, mechanical failure or plant breakdown, unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect extraction costs, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes, unexpected shortages and increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant, equipment and staff, native title process, changing government regulations and many other factors beyond the control of the Company. The success of the Company will also depend upon the Company being able to maintain title to the mineral exploration licences comprising the Projects and obtaining all required approvals for their contemplated activities. In the event that exploration programmes prove to be unsuccessful this could lead to a diminution in the value of the Projects, a reduction in the cash reserves of the Company and possible relinquishment of one or more of the mineral exploration licences comprising the Projects. |
| Tenure, access and grant of applications |
Applications The tenements E70/5407 and E70/5408 are still under application. There can be no assurance that the tenement applications that are currently pending will be granted. There can be no assurance that when the tenement is granted, it will be granted in its entirety. Additionally, some of the tenement areas applied for may be excluded. The Company is unaware of any circumstances that would prevent the tenement application from being granted. Refer to the Solicitor’s Report on Tenements in Annexure B for further information on the Company’s tenement applications. Renewal Mining and exploration tenements are subject to periodic renewal. The renewal of the term of granted tenements is subject to compliance with the applicable mining legislation and regulations and the discretion of the relevant mining authority. Renewal conditions may |
56
5478-01/2669372_13
| Risk Category | Risk |
|---|---|
| include increased expenditure and work commitments or compulsory relinquishment of areas of the tenements. The imposition of new conditions or the inability to meet those conditions may adversely affect the operations, financial position and/or performance of the Company. The Company considers the likelihood of tenure forfeiture to be low given the laws and regulations governing exploration in Western Australia and the ongoing expenditure budgeted for by the Company. However, the consequence of forfeiture or involuntary surrender of a granted tenements for reasons beyond the control of the Company could be significant. Access A number of the Tenements overlap certain third-party interests that may limit the Company’s ability to conduct exploration and mining activities including Crown land, flora and fauna reserves, pastoral leases, private land and encroachment by petroleum exploration permits and other tenements/tenement applications. Please refer to the Solicitor’s Report on Tenements in Annexure B for further details. |
|
| Private Land | As detailed at Part II of the Solicitor’s Tenement Report in Annexure B, the Tenements encroach parcels of private land, with varying degrees of overlap within the Julimar North Project area. Grants of freehold that were made prior to 1899 in Western Australian included the grant of minerals other than gold, silver and precious minerals, which were reserved to the Crown. This land is commonly referred to as ‘minerals to owner’ land as the landowner owns all other minerals and has the right to deal with those minerals as it sees fit. In such a situation, a mining tenement granted under the Mining Act 1978 (WA) will confer on the tenement holder the right to explore for, or mine gold, silver and precious metals only but will not give any rights to exploit any other mineral. As the Company defines exploration targets on the affected Tenements, and prior to commencing ground disturbing activities, the Company will conduct its own investigations to confirm whether the relevant private land parcels are ‘minerals to owner’. Approvals for mining gold, silver and precious metals on pre-1899 land have generally been granted by Local Government as an Extractive Industry Licence (“EIL”; Local Government Act 1995) or Development Approval (“DA”; Planning and Development Act 2005). A miner wishing to mine minerals other than the gold, silver and precious metals located on pre-1899 land will need to negotiate an access and compensation agreement with the owner of the land (and owner of the minerals) and obtain permission either through a EIL or DA. Any significant proposal may require assessment by the Environment |

| Risk Category | Risk | |
|---|---|---|
| Protection Authority and any mining activity will be subject to the Mines Safety and Inspection Act 1994. The current proposed work program on the Julimar North Project does not comprise any areas which overlap private land interests. |
||
| Development and acquisition opportunities |
The success of the Company will depend not only on its ability to explore and develop its existing project portfolio, but also on the Company’s ability to identify, secure and develop a portfolio of high-quality projects, suitable assets, additional exploration acreage and strategic industry partnerships. The Company will actively pursue and assess other new business opportunities which may take the form of direct project acquisitions, joint ventures, farm-ins, acquisition of tenements/permits and/or direct equity participation or acquisition of a company or group of companies. There is a risk that the Company will be unable to secure such opportunities or equally divest non-core assets at attractive valuations on appropriate terms, thereby potentially limiting the growth of the Company. The acquisition of projects (whether completed or not) may require the payment of monies (notably as a deposit and/or exclusivity fee), after only limited due diligence or prior to the completion of comprehensive due diligence. There can be no guarantee that any proposed acquisition will be completed or be successful. If the proposed acquisition is not completed, monies advanced may not be recoverable, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company. If the Company acquires only a limited number of projects, poor performance by one or a few of these could significantly affect the performance of the Company and thereby significantly impact the returns to investors. The integration of new projects by the Company may also be more difficult, and involve greater costs, than anticipated. |
|
| Tenement Renewal | The Tenements comprising the Tambourah Project (comprising a single granted Exploration Licence (E 45/4597) and four granted Prospecting Licences (P 45/2868-I, P 45/2869-I, P 45/2870-I, P 45/2871-I)) are due to expire on 3 December 2021 (with respect to the four prospecting licences) and 15 January 2022 (with respect to the one exploration licence). Prior to the expiry of the Prospecting Licences, the Company intends to develop a mineralisation report and apply for a mining lease over the ground comprising these Tenements. Prior to expiry of the Exploration Licence, the Company intends to apply to extend the term of the Tenement for a further period of 5 years. The Company considers the likelihood of tenure forfeiture to be low given the laws and regulations governing exploration in Western Australia and the ongoing |
58
5478-01/2669372_13
| Risk Category | Risk |
|---|---|
| expenditure budgeted for by the Company. However, the consequence of forfeiture or involuntary surrender of a granted tenements for reasons beyond the control of the Company could be significant. Please refer to the Solicitors Report on Tenements in Annexure B for further information. |
|
| Climate risk | There are a number of climate-related factors that may affect the operations and proposed activities of the Company. The climate change risks particularly attributable to the Company include: (a) the emergence of new or expanded regulations associated with the transitioning to a lower- carbon economy and market changes related to climate change mitigation. The Company may be impacted by changes to local or international compliance regulations related to climate change mitigation efforts, or by specific taxation or penalties for carbon emissions or environmental damage. These examples sit amongst an array of possible restraints on industry that may further impact the Company and its profitability. While the Company will endeavour to manage these risks and limit any consequential impacts, there can be no guarantee that the Company will not be impacted by these occurrences; and (b) climate change may cause certain physical and environmental risks that cannot be predicted by the Company, including events such as increased severity of weather patterns and incidence of extreme weather events and longer-term physical risks such as shifting climate patterns. All these risks associated with climate change may significantly change the industry in which the Company operates. |
| COVID-19 risk | The outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is impacting global economic markets. The nature and extent of the effect of the outbreak on the performance of the Company remains unknown. The Company’s Share price may be adversely affected in the short to medium term by the economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19. Further, any governmental or industry measures taken in response to COVID-19 may adversely impact the Company’s operations and are likely to be beyond the control of the Company. The COVID-19 pandemic may also give rise to issues, delays or restrictions in product processing and packaging and the Company's ability to deliver products to customers, which may result in cost increases or adverse impacts on sales. In addition, the effects of COVID-19 on the Company's Share price and global financial markets generally may also affect the Company's ability to raise equity or debt or require the Company to issue capital at |
59
5478-01/2669372_13
| Risk Category | Risk |
|---|---|
| a discount, which may in turn cause dilution to Shareholders. |
|
| Results of studies | Subject to the results of exploration and testing programs to be undertaken, the Company plans to progressively undertake a number of studies in respect to the Project. These studies may include pre-feasibility and definitive feasibility studies. These studies will be completed within parameters designed to determine the economic feasibility of the Project within certain limits. There can be no guarantee that any of the studies will confirm the economic viability of the Project or the results of other studies undertaken by the Company (for example, the results of a feasibility study may materially differ to the results of a pre-feasibility study). Even if a study confirms the economic viability of the Project, there can be no guarantee that the Project will be successfully brought into production as assumed or within the estimated parameters in the feasibility study (e.g. operational costs and commodity prices) once production commences. |
7.3 Industry specific risks
| Risk Category | Risk |
|---|---|
| Native title and Aboriginal Heritage |
In relation to tenements which the Company has an interest in or will in the future acquire such an interest, there may be areas over which legitimate common law native title rights of Aboriginal Australians exist. If native title rights do exist, the ability of the Company to gain access to tenements (through obtaining consent of any relevant landowner), or to progress from the exploration phase to the development and mining phases of operations may be adversely affected. There are currently registered native title claims over E 08/2889-I, E 70/5411, E 70/5423, E 70/5407 and E 70/5408. Further to this, it is possible that an Indigenous Land Use Agreement (ILUA) may be registered against one or more of the tenements in which the Company has an interest. The terms and conditions of any such ILUA may be unfavourable for, or restrictive against, the Company. In addition, seven of the Tenements contain Aboriginal heritage sites of significance which have been registered with the Department of Indigenous Affairs. Approvals are required if these sites will be impacted by exploration or mining activities. Delays in obtaining such approvals can result in the delay to anticipated exploration programmes or mining activities. The Directors will closely monitor the potential effect of native title claims or Aboriginal heritage matters involving |
60
5478-01/2669372_13
| Risk Category | Risk |
|---|---|
| tenements in which the Company has or may have an interest. Please refer to the Solicitor’s Report on Tenements in Annexure B of this Prospectus for further details. |
|
| Exploration costs | The exploration costs of the Company as summarised in Section 5.5 are based on certain assumptions with respect to the method and timing of exploration. By their nature, these estimates and assumptions are subject to significant uncertainty, and accordingly, the actual costs may materially differ from the estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the cost estimates and the underlying assumptions will be realised in practice, which may materially and adversely impact the Company’s viability. |
| Resource and reserves and exploration targets |
The Company has identified a number of exploration targets based on geological interpretations and limited geophysical data, geochemical sampling and historical drilling. Insufficient data however, exists to provide certainty over the extent of the mineralisation. Whilst the Company intends to undertake additional exploratory work with the aim of defining a resource, no assurances can be given that additional exploration will result in the determination of a resource on any of the exploration targets identified. Even if a resource is identified no assurance can be provided that this can be economically extracted. Reserve and resource estimates are expressions of judgement based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates which were valid when initially calculated may alter significantly when new information or techniques become available. In addition, by their very nature resource and reserve estimates are imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations which may prove to be inaccurate. |
| Grant of future authorisations to explore and mine |
If the Company discovers an economically viable mineral deposit that is then intends to develop, it will, among other things, require various approvals, licence and permits before it will be able to mine the deposit. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to obtain all required approvals, licenses and permits. To the extent that required authorisations are not obtained or are delayed, the Company’s operational and financial performance may be materially adversely affected. |
| Mine development | Possible future development of mining operations at the Projects is dependent on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the acquisition and/or delineation of economically recoverable mineralisation, favourable geological conditions, receiving the necessary approvals from all relevant authorities and parties, seasonal weather patterns, unanticipated technical and operational difficulties encountered in extraction and production activities, mechanical failure of operating plant and |
61
5478-01/2669372_13
| Risk Category | Risk |
|---|---|
| equipment, shortages or increases in the price of consumables, spare parts and plant and equipment, cost overruns, access to the required level of funding and contracting risk from third parties providing essential services. If the Company commences production on one of the Projects, its operations may be disrupted by a variety of risks and hazards which are beyond the control of the Company. No assurance can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the development of the Projects. The risks associated with the development of a mine will be considered in full should the Projects reach that stage and will be managed with ongoing consideration of stakeholder interests. |
|
| Environmental | The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to State and Federal laws and regulations concerning 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. It is the Company’s intention to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance 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 environmental incident could delay production or increase production 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 non-compliance 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. |
| Regulatory Compliance |
The Company’s operating activities are subject to extensive laws and regulations relating to numerous matters including resource licence consent, environmental compliance and rehabilitation, taxation, employee relations, health and worker safety, waste disposal, protection of the environment, native title and |
62
5478-01/2669372_13
| Risk Category | Risk |
|---|---|
| heritage matters, protection of endangered and protected species and other matters. The Company requires permits from regulatory authorities to authorise the Company’s operations. These permits relate to exploration, development, production and rehabilitation activities. While the Company believes that it is in substantial compliance with all material current laws and regulations, agreements or changes in their enforcement or regulatory interpretation could result in changes in legal requirements or in the terms of existing permits and agreements applicable to the Company or its properties, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s current operations or planned development projects. Obtaining necessary permits can be a time-consuming process and there is a risk that Company will not obtain these permits on acceptable terms, in a timely manner or at all. The costs and delays associated with obtaining necessary permits and complying with these permits and applicable laws and regulations could materially delay or restrict the Company from proceeding with the development of a project or the operation or development of a mine. Any failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations or permits, even if inadvertent, could result in material fines, penalties or other liabilities. In extreme cases, failure could result in suspension of the Company’s activities or forfeiture of one or more of the Tenements. |
7.4 General risks
| Risk Category | Risk | |
|---|---|---|
| Additional requirements for capital |
The Company’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors. The Company may require further financing in addition to amounts raised under the Offer. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations and scale back its exploration programmes as the case may be. There is however no guarantee that the Company will be able to secure any additional funding or be able to secure funding on terms favourable to the Company. |
|
| Reliance on key personnel |
The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and the strategic management of the Company depends substantially on its senior management and its key personnel. There can be no assurance given that there will be no detrimental impact on the Company if one or more of these employees cease their employment. The Company may not be able to replace its senior management or key personnel with persons of equivalent |

|---|---|
| expertise and experience within a reasonable period of time or at all and the Company may incur additional expenses to recruit, train and retain personnel. Loss of such personnel may also have an adverse effect on the performance of the Company. |
|
| Economic | General economic conditions, introduction of tax reform, new legislation, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company’s exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities. If activities cannot be funded, there is a risk that the Assets may have to be surrendered or not renewed. General economic conditions may also affect the value of the Company and its valuation regardless of its actual performance. |
| Competition risk | The industry in which the Company will be involved is 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. |
| Currently no market | There is currently no public market for the Company’s Shares, the price of its Shares is subject to uncertainty and there can be no assurance that an active market for the Company’s Shares will develop or continue after the Offer. The price at which the Company’s Shares trade on ASX after listing may be higher or lower than the issue price of Shares offered under this Prospectus and could be subject to fluctuations in response to variations in operating performance and general operations and business risk, as well as external operating factors over which the Directors and the Company have no control, such as movements in mineral prices and exchange rates, changes to government policy, legislation or regulation and other events or factors. There can be no guarantee that an active market in the Company’s Shares will develop or that the price of the Shares will increase. There may be relatively few or many potential buyers or sellers of the Shares on ASX at any given time. This may increase the volatility of the market price of the Shares. It may also affect the prevailing market price at which Shareholders are able to sell their Shares. This may result in Shareholders receiving a market price for their Shares that is above or below the price that Shareholders paid. |
| Market conditions | Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s Shares regardless of the Company’s operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as: (a) general economic outlook; |
64
5478-01/2669372_13
| Risk Category | Risk |
|---|---|
| (b) introduction of tax reform or other new legislation; (c) interest rates and inflation rates; (d) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors; (e) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and (f) terrorism or other hostilities. The market price of Shares can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general and resource exploration stocks in particular. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company. Applicants should be aware that there are risks associated with any securities investment. Securities listed on the stock market, and in particular securities of exploration companies experience extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated to the operating performance of such companies. These factors may materially affect the market price of the shares regardless of the Company’s performance. Further, after the end of the relevant escrow periods affecting Shares in the Company, a significant sale of then tradeable Shares (or the market perception that such a sale might occur) could have an adverse effect on the Company’s Share price. Please refer to Section 5.8 for further details on the Shares likely to be classified by the ASX as restricted securities. |
|
| Commodity price volatility and exchange rate risks |
If the Company achieves success leading to mineral production, the revenue it will derive through the sale of product exposes the potential income of the Company to commodity price and exchange rate risks. Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by many factors beyond the control of the Company. Such factors include supply and demand fluctuations for precious and base metals, technological advancements, forward selling activities and other macro-economic factors. Furthermore, international prices of various commodities are denominated in United States dollars, whereas the income and expenditure of the Company will be taken into account in Australian currency, exposing the Company to the fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and the Australian dollar as determined in international markets. |
| Government policy changes |
Adverse changes in government policies or legislation may affect ownership of mineral interests, taxation, royalties, land access, labour relations, and mining and exploration activities of the Company. It is possible that the current system of exploration and mine permitting in Western Australia may change, resulting in impairment of rights and possibly expropriation of the Company’s properties without adequate compensation. |

| Risk Category | Risk |
|---|---|
| Insurance | The Company intends to insure its operations in accordance with industry practice. However, in certain circumstances the Company’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 fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of the Company. Insurance of all risks associated with mineral exploration and production is not always available and where available the costs can be prohibitive. |
| Force Majeure | The Company’s projects now or in the future may be adversely affected by risks outside the control of the Company including labour unrest, civil disorder, war, subversive activities or sabotage, fires, floods, explosions or other catastrophes, epidemics or quarantine restrictions. |
| Taxation | The acquisition and disposal of Shares will have tax consequences, which will differ depending on the individual financial affairs of each investor. All potential investors in the Company are urged to obtain independent financial advice about the consequences of acquiring Shares from a taxation viewpoint and generally. To the maximum extent permitted by 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. |
| Litigation Risks | The Company is exposed to possible litigation risks including native title claims, tenure disputes, environmental claims, occupational health and safety claims and employee claims. Further, the Company may be involved in disputes with other parties in the future which may result in litigation. Any such claim or dispute if proven, may impact adversely on the Company’s operations, reputation, financial performance and financial position. The Company is not currently engaged in any litigation. |
7.5 Investment speculative
The risk factors described above, and other risks factors not specifically referred to, may have a materially adverse impact on the performance of the Company and the value of the Shares.
Prospective investors should consider that an investment in the Company is highly speculative.
There is no guarantee that the Shares offered under this Prospectus will provide a return on capital, payment of dividends or increases in the market value of those Shares.

The Board currently consists of three Directors (two non-executive Directors and one executive Director). Messers Donovan and Ramsay are each considered independent.

10. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
10.1 Litigation
As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company is not involved in any legal proceedings and the Directors are not aware of any legal proceedings pending or threatened against the Company.
10.2 Rights attaching to Shares
The following is a summary of the more significant rights attaching to Shares. This summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders. To obtain such a statement, persons should seek independent legal advice.
Full details of the rights attaching to Shares are set out in the Constitution, a copy of which is available for inspection at the Company’s registered office during normal business hours.
(a) General meetings
Shareholders are entitled to be present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company. Shareholders may requisition meetings in accordance with section 249D of the Corporations Act and the Constitution.
(b) Voting rights
Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of Shares, at general meetings of Shareholders or classes of Shareholders:
-
(i) each Shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy, attorney or representative;
-
(ii) on a show of hands, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder has one vote; and
-
(iii) on a poll, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder shall, in respect of each fully paid Share held by him, or in respect of which he is appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote for the Share, but in respect of partly paid Shares shall have such number of votes as bears the same proportion to the total of such Shares registered in the Shareholder’s name as the amount paid (not credited) bears to the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited). Amounts paid in advance of a call are ignored when calculation the proportion.
(c) Dividend rights
Subject to the rights of any preference Shareholders and to the rights of the holders of any shares created or raised under any special arrangement as to dividend, the Directors may from time to time declare a dividend to be paid to the Shareholders entitled to the dividend which shall be payable on all Shares according to the proportion that the
83
5478-01/2669372_13
amount paid or credited as paid is of the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited) in respect of such Shares.
The Directors may from time to time pay to the Shareholders any interim dividends as they believe to be justified subject to the requirements of the Corporations Act. No dividend shall carry interest as against the Company. The Directors may set aside out of the profits of the Company any amounts that they may determine as reserves, to be applied at the discretion of the Directors, for any purpose for which the profits of the Company may be properly applied.
Subject to the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, the Company may, by resolution of the Directors, implement on such terms and conditions as the Directors think fit, (a) a dividend reinvestment plan which provides for any dividend which the Directors may declare from time to time payable on Shares which are participating Shares in the dividend reinvestment plan, less any amount which the Company shall either pursuant to the Constitution or any law be entitled or obliged to retain, be applied by the Company to the payment of the subscription price of Shares and (b) a dividend election plan permitting holders of Shares to the extent that the Shares are fully paid, to have the option to elect to forego the right to share in any dividends (whether interim or otherwise) payable in respect of such Shares and to receive instead an issue of Shares credited as fully paid up to the extent as determined by the Directors.
(d)
Winding-up
If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of the Company, 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 he 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.
The liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of the Company, vest the whole or any part of any such property in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator thinks fit, but so that no Shareholder is compelled to accept any Shares or other securities in respect of which there is any liability.
(e)
Shareholder liability
As the Shares under the Prospectus are fully paid shares, they are not subject to any calls for money by the Directors and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.
(f) Transfer of Shares
Generally, Shares are freely transferable, subject to formal requirements, the registration of the transfer not resulting in a contravention of or failure to observe the provisions of a law of Australia and the transfer not being in breach of the Corporations Act or the ASX Listing Rules.
84
5478-01/2669372_13
(g) Variation of rights
Pursuant to section 246B of the Corporations Act, the Company may, with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a meeting of Shareholders vary or abrogate the rights attaching to Shares.
If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of Shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class), whether or not the Company is being wound up, may be varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of three-quarters of the issued shares of that class, or if authorised by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.
(h) Alteration of Constitution
The Constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters 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.

10.4 Employee Incentive Plan
The Company has adopted an employee securities incentive plan ( Plan ), a summary of which is set out below. The full terms of the Plan may be inspected at the registered office of the Company during normal business hours. It is intended that the Executive and Non-Executive Directors will participate in the Plan. Prior to the date of this Prospectus, the Company has not issued any securities under the Plan.
(a) Eligible Participant
Eligible Participant means a person that:
-
(i) is an 'eligible participant' (as that term is defined in ASIC Class Order 14/1000) in relation to the Company or an Associated Body Corporate (as that term is defined in ASIC Class Order 14/1000); and
-
(ii) has been determined by the Board to be eligible to participate in the Plan from time to time.
(b) Maximum allocation
The Company must not make an offer of Securities under the Plan, in reliance on ASIC Class Order 14/1000, where the total number of Shares to be issued under the offer ( Plan Shares ) (or that will be issued upon conversion of convertible securities to be issued ( Convertible Securities )), when aggregated with the number of Plan Shares that may be issued as a result of offers made under the Plan, in reliance on ASIC Class Order 14/1000, at any time during the previous 3 year period, would exceed 5% of the total number of Shares on issue at the date of the offer.
The maximum number of equity securities proposed to be issued under the Plan within a 3 year period from the date of this Prospectus for the purposes of the ASX Listing Rules is 10,000,000 Shares (representing approximately 20% of the issued Shares on completion of the Offer, assuming Minimum Subscription) ( ASX Limit ), meaning that the Company may issue up to the ASX Limit under the Plan, without seeking Shareholder
87
5478-01/2669372_13
approval and without reducing its placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
The ASX Limit is not intended to be a prediction of the actual number of securities to be issued under the Plan, simply a ceiling for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)).
(c)
Purpose
The purpose of the Plan is to:
-
(i) assist in the reward, retention and motivation of Eligible Participants;
-
(ii) link the reward of Eligible Participants to Shareholder value creation; and
-
(iii) align the interests of Eligible Participants with Shareholders by providing an opportunity to Eligible Participants to receive an equity interest in the Company in the form of Securities.
(d) Plan administration
The Plan will be administered by the Board. The Board may exercise any power or discretion conferred on it by the Plan rules in its sole and absolute discretion. The Board may delegate its powers and discretion.
(e)
Eligibility, invitation and application
The Board may from time to time determine that an Eligible Participant may participate in the Plan and make an invitation to that Eligible Participant to apply for Securities on such terms and conditions as the Board decides.
On receipt of an Invitation, an Eligible Participant may apply for the Securities the subject of the invitation by sending a completed application form to the Company. The Board may accept an application from an Eligible Participant in whole or in part.
If an Eligible Participant is permitted in the invitation, the Eligible Participant may, by notice in writing to the Board, nominate a party in whose favour the Eligible Participant wishes to renounce the invitation.
(f)
Grant of Securities
The Company will, to the extent that it has accepted a duly completed application, grant the Eligible Participant that has participated ( Participant ) the relevant number of Securities, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the invitation, the Plan rules and any ancillary documentation required.
(g) Terms of Convertible Securities
Each Convertible Security represents a right to acquire one or more Shares, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.
Prior to a Convertible Security being exercised, a Participant does not have any interest (legal, equitable or otherwise) in any Share the subject
88
5478-01/2669372_13
of the Convertible Security by virtue of holding the Convertible Security. A Participant may not sell, assign, transfer, grant a security interest over, collateralise a margin loan against, utilise for the purposes of short selling, enter into a derivative with reference to, or otherwise deal with a Convertible Security that has been granted to them. A Participant must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of hedging their economic exposure to a Convertible Security that has been granted to them. For the avoidance of doubt, a Participant includes any contractor or consultant to the Company.
(h) Vesting
Any vesting conditions applicable to the grant of Convertible Securities will be described in the invitation. If all the vesting conditions are satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, a vesting notice will be sent to the Participant by the Company informing them that the relevant Plan Convertible Securities have vested. Unless and until the vesting notice is issued by the Company, the Convertible Securities will not be considered to have vested. For the avoidance of doubt, if the vesting conditions relevant to a Convertible Security are not satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, that Convertible Security will lapse.
(i)
Exercise of Options and cashless exercise
To exercise a Convertible Security, the Participant must deliver a signed notice of exercise and, subject to a cashless exercise of Convertible Securities (see below), pay the exercise price (if any) to or as directed by the Company, at any time prior to the earlier of any date specified in the vesting notice and the expiry date as set out in the invitation.
An invitation may specify that at the time of exercise of the Convertible Securities, the Participant may elect not to be required to provide payment of the Convertible Security exercise price for the number of Convertible Securities specified in a notice of exercise, but that on exercise of those Convertible Securities the Company will transfer or issue to the Participant that number of Shares equal in value to the positive difference between the Market Value of the Shares at the time of exercise and the exercise price that would otherwise be payable to exercise those Convertible Securities.
Market Value means, at any given date, the volume weighted average price per Share traded on the ASX over the 5 trading days immediately preceding that given date, unless otherwise specified in an invitation.
A Convertible Security may not be exercised unless and until that Convertible Security has vested in accordance with the Plan rules, or such earlier date as set out in the Plan rules.
(j) Delivery of Shares on exercise of Convertible Securities
As soon as practicable after the valid exercise of a Convertible Security by a Participant, the Company will issue or cause to be transferred to that Participant the number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled under the Plan rules and issue a substitute certificate for any remaining unexercised Convertible Securities held by that Participant.
89
5478-01/2669372_13
(k) Forfeiture of Convertible Securities
Where a Participant who holds Convertible Securities ceases to be an Eligible Participant or becomes insolvent, all unvested Convertible Securities will automatically be forfeited by the Participant, unless the Board otherwise determines in its discretion to permit some or all of the Convertible Securities to vest.
Where the Board determines that a Participant has acted fraudulently or dishonestly, acted negligently, acted in contravention of a Company policy or wilfully breached his or her duties to the Company (including but not limited to breaching a material term of an employment, executive services or consultancy agreement), the Board may in its discretion deem all unvested Convertible Securities held by that Participant to have been forfeited.
Unless the Board otherwise determines, or as otherwise set out in the Plan rules:
-
(i) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be forfeited immediately on the date that the Board determines (acting reasonably and in good faith) that any applicable vesting conditions have not been met or cannot be met by the relevant date; and
-
(ii) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be automatically forfeited on the expiry date specified in the invitation.
A Participant may by written notice to the Company voluntarily forfeit their Convertible Securities for no consideration.
- (l) Change in control
If a change of control event occurs in relation to the Company, or the Board determines that such an event is likely to occur, the Board may in its discretion determine the manner in which any or all of the Participant's Convertible Securities will be dealt with, including, without limitation, in a manner that allows the Participant to participate in and/or benefit from any transaction arising from or in connection with the change of control event.
(m) Rights attaching to Plan Shares
All Plan Shares issued or transferred to a Participant upon the valid exercise of a Convertible Security will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares of the same class. A Participant will be entitled to any dividends declared and distributed by the Company on the Plan Shares and may participate in any dividend reinvestment plan operated by the Company in respect of Plan Shares. A Participant may exercise any voting rights attaching to Plan Shares.
(n) Disposal restrictions on Plan Shares
If the invitation provides that any Plan Shares are subject to any restrictions as to the disposal or other dealing by a Participant for a period, the Board may implement any procedure it deems appropriate to ensure the compliance by the Participant with this restriction.
90
5478-01/2669372_13
For so long as a Plan Share is subject to any disposal restrictions under the Plan, the Participant will not:
-
(i) transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of, or have a security interest granted over that Plan Share; or
-
(ii) take any action or permit another person to take any action to remove or circumvent the disposal restrictions without the express written consent of the Company.
(o)
Adjustment of Convertible Securities
If there is a reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company (including any subdivision, consolidation, reduction, return or cancellation of such issued capital of the Company), the rights of each Participant holding Convertible Securities will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the ASX Listing Rules applicable to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.
If Shares are issued by the Company pro rata to Shareholders generally by way of bonus issue (other than an issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment), the holder of Convertible Securities is entitled, upon exercise of the Convertible Securities, to receive an allotment of as many additional Shares as would have been issued to the holder if the holder held Shares equal in number to the Shares in respect of which the Convertible Securities are exercised.
Unless otherwise determined by the Board, a holder of Convertible Securities does not have the right to participate in a pro rata issue of Shares made by the Company or sell renounceable rights.
(p) Participation in new issues
There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Convertible Securities and holders are not entitled to participate in any new issue of Shares of the Company during the currency of the Convertible Securities without exercising the Convertible Securities.
(q) Amendment of Plan
Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time amend any provisions of the Plan rules, including (without limitation) the terms and conditions upon which any Securities have been granted under the Plan and determine that any amendments to the Plan rules be given retrospective effect, immediate effect or future effect.
No amendment to any provision of the Plan rules may be made if the amendment materially reduces the rights of any Participant as they existed before the date of the amendment, other than an amendment introduced primarily for the purpose of complying with legislation or to correct manifest error or mistake, amongst other things, or is agreed to in writing by all Participants.
(r) Plan duration
The Plan continues in operation until the Board decides to end it. The Board may from time to time suspend the operation of the Plan for a fixed period or indefinitely and may end any suspension. If the Plan is
91
5478-01/2669372_13
terminated or suspended for any reason, that termination or suspension must not prejudice the accrued rights of the Participants.
If a Participant and the Company (acting through the Board) agree in writing that some or all of the Securities granted to that Participant are to be cancelled on a specified date or on the occurrence of a particular event, then those Securities may be cancelled in the manner agreed between the Company and the Participant.
10.5 Information required by ASX Guidance Note 19 – Deferred Consideration Shares
The following additional information is provided with respect to the 3,000,000 deferred consideration shares proposed to be issued to Baracus ( Deferred Consideration Shares ) upon the grant of tenement applications E70/5407 and E70/5408 ( Milestones ):
-
(a) the Deferred Consideration Shares are proposed to be issued under the Tenement Sale Agreement, a summary of which is set out in Section 9.2.1;
-
(b) Baracus Pty Ltd (an entity controlled by Director, Rita Brooks) is the vendor of the Tenements, which include tenement applications E70/5407 and E70/5408. Baracus Pty Ltd is a related party of the Company;
-
(c) upon the achievement of the Milestones, the Deferred Consideration Shares will be issued to Baracus Pty Ltd in accordance with the Tenement Sale Agreement (a summary of which is set out in Section 9.2.1). If the Milestones are not met before 19 June 2023, the entitlement to the Deferred Consideration Shares will lapse and no new Shares will be issued. Following the grant of the last of E70/5407 and E70/5408, Barcus Pty Ltd may elect to be issued the Deferred Consideration Shares (or part thereof) on any date or dates prior to 19 June 2023, so as to ensure that the issue does not breach section 606 of the Corporations Act, or for any other reason;
-
(d) the proposed issue of the Deferred Consideration Shares to Barcus Pty Ltd is included as part of the purchase consideration payable for the Tenements (assuming achievement of the Milestones) as tenement applications E70/5407 and E70/5408 (together, the Tenement Applications ) have not yet been granted and therefore the Deferred Consideration Shares ensure that the Company is only paying to acquire granted tenements;
-
(e) details of the Projects and the Tenements are set out in Section 5.2, the Independent Geologist’s Report and the Solicitor’s Tenement Report respectively;
-
(f) the Board considers that the quantum of the consideration payable for the Tenement Applications reflects reasonable fair value. The consideration payable was determined by the Board, following arm’s length negotiations with Baracus Pty Ltd, having regard to:
-
(i) the value of the Tenement Applications (once granted) and the Board’s assessment of the future prospects of those granted tenements;
-
(ii) recent market examples of comparable transactions;
92
5478-01/2669372_13
-
(iii) the proposed market capitalisation of the Company on admission; and
-
(iv) the fact that the consideration payable will be deferred and will only be realised in the event that the Milestones are satisfied;
Accordingly, the Board considers the number of Deferred Consideration Shares potentially issuable as being appropriate and equitable;
-
(g) all Deferred Consideration Shares are to be (if issued) as fully paid ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company, ranking pari-passu with all other Shares on issue at the time of issue;
-
(h) the Deferred Consideration Shares are consistent with the base requirements for performance securities set out in section 9 of ASX Guidance Note 19 (no securities will be issuable until the Milestones are achieved);
-
(i) the Deferred Consideration Shares are compliant with sections 10 and 11 of ASX Guidance Note 19 for the following reasons:
-
(i) the number of Deferred Consideration Shares issuable on satisfaction of the relevant Milestone are fixed which allows investors and analysts to readily understand and have reasonable certainty as to the impact on the Company’s capital structure if the relevant Milestones are achieved;
-
(ii) the Milestones are objectively fair and reasonable. None of the examples set out in section 10 of ASX Guidance Note 19 that are unacceptable to ASX apply to the Deferred Consideration Shares;
-
(iii) there is an appropriate and demonstrable nexus between the Milestones and the transaction, as the Deferred Consideration Shares will be issued to Baracus Pty Ltd (as the vendor of the Projects), assuming achievement of the Milestones, as part consideration for the acquisition. Accordingly, the Milestones are linked to acquiring the complete tenement portfolio of Baracus as detailed in Section 5.2;
-
(iv) the Milestones are clearly articulated by reference to objective criteria and have reasonable certainty as to the circumstances in which the performance milestones will be taken to have been met;
-
(j) an expiry date is set by which the relevant Milestones are to be achieved for the Deferred Consideration Shares to be issued, and if the Milestones are not achieved by the expiry date, the Deferred Consideration Shares will not be issued to the vendor; and
-
(k) the maximum number of Deferred Consideration Shares will not exceed 10% of total Shares on issue at admission and therefore an independent expert’s report is not required in accordance with section 13 of Guidance Note 19.

Independent Geologist’s Report on the Tambourah, Cheela, Achilles and Julimar North projects Executive Summary Final
Executive Summary
Tambourah Metals Limited (Tambourah Metals or the Company) is proposing to list its assets on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) (Proposed Listing). In connection with the Proposed Listing, Tambourah Metals acquired the Tenements (or rights to the Tenements) and exploration data applicable to the portfolio of Mineral Assets considered herein from Baracus Pty Ltd (Baracus). For the purposes of this Report, the Tenements will be referred to as Tambourah Metals’ tenure.
Tambourah Metals has commissioned SRK Consulting (Australasia) Pty Ltd (SRK) to provide an Independent Geologist’s Report (IGR or Report) on its portfolio of assets located in Western Australia (Figure 1-1). The Report will be included in the Prospectus relating to the Proposed Listing. SRK’s Report does not comment on the ‘fairness and reasonableness’ of any transaction between Tambourah Metals and any other parties.
The Report has been prepared under the guidelines of the 2015 edition of the Australasian Code for the Public Reporting of Technical Assessments and Valuations of Mineral Assets (VALMIN Code). The VALMIN Code incorporates the 2012 edition of the Australasian Code for the Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC Code). In addition, the Report has been prepared in accordance with the relevant requirements of the Listing Rules of the ASX and relevant Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) Regulatory Guidelines.
The Mineral Assets considered in this IGR comprise three wholly (100%) owned projects and an (80%) interest in the Julimar North Project. The remaining (20%) interest will be retained by Baracus:
-
The Tambourah Project in the eastern Pilbara region of Western Australia which comprises a single granted Exploration Licence (E 45/4597) and four granted Prospecting Licences (P 45/2868-I, P 45/2869-I, P 45/2870-I, P 45/2871-I). The tenements cover a total area of 696 ha (Tambourah Metals 100%).
-

SRK has concluded from its review of Tambourah Metals’ Western Australian project areas that they are of merit and worthy of further exploration at the budgetary levels proposed by Tambourah Metals. The funds allocated by Tambourah Metals for the technical assessment of the projects should be sufficient to sustain the planned work programs over a 24-month budget period.
In addition to an effective exploration strategy, Tambourah Metals’ ultimate success will depend to a large extent on the skill of its exploration team. In SRK’s opinion, Tambourah Metals’ understanding of the local geology and the targets generated through previous studies and exploration programs is reasonable and further assessment works are warranted. Furthermore, SRK considers Tambourah Metals’ exploration strategy to be justified and is satisfied that the proposed exploration programs have been well defined and are appropriate.
Progressive expenditure will depend on the success of the proposed exploration activities and technical studies. Tambourah Metals may require additional funds should the outcome of the drilling necessitate modifications to the work program.
SRK notes that Mineral Assets at a similar stage of study to the projects discussed herein are inherently speculative in nature given the geological variability. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a reportable Mineral Resource.
The facts, opinions and assessments presented in this Report are current at the Report’s Effective Date of 21 June 2021.

Michael Cunningham, Associate Principal Consultant (Geology), BSc Hons (Geoscience), PhD (Geology), MAusIMM, MAIG, MGSA, FGSL, MMGEI
Michael (Mike) Cunningham has over 15 years’ experience as a geologist. His post-doctoral research involved evaluation and modelling of active oceanic slope processes and related hazards. Mike has worked in the Irish and British civil services. He has consulted on projects in Australia and overseas (Indonesia, Lao, Sri Lanka, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Tanzania, Congo, Liberia and Malaysia), and on a variety of commodities including gold, iron, graphite, lead-zinc, antimony and coal. His expertise covers 3D modelling of vein, epithermal and banded iron formation (BIF) styles of mineralisation, drill targeting, modelling, Mineral Resource estimation, and modelling and evaluation of Exploration Targets. Mike has also been involved in the preparation of IGRs, due diligence and valuation studies, and is a well accomplished project manager. He is a Member of the AIG and the AusIMM and has the appropriate relevant qualifications, experience, competence and independence to be considered a ‘Specialist’ and ‘Competent Person’ under the VALMIN Code (2015) and JORC Code (2012), respectively.
As per the VALMIN Code (2015), a first draft of the Report was supplied to Tambourah Metals to check for material error, factual accuracy and omissions before the final report was issued. The final report was issued following review of any comments made by Tambourah Metals.
As defined in the VALMIN Code (2015), mineral assets comprise all property including (but not limited to) tangible property, intellectual property, mining and exploration tenure and other rights held or acquired in relation to the exploration, development of and production from those tenures. This may include plant, equipment and infrastructure owned or acquired for the development, extraction and processing of minerals relating to that tenure.
For this Report, the mineral assets were classified in accordance with the categories outlined in the VALMIN Code (2015), these being:
-
Early Stage Exploration Projects – Tenure holdings where mineralisation may or may not have been identified, but where Mineral Resources have not been identified.
-
Advanced Exploration Projects – Tenure holdings where considerable exploration has been undertaken and specific targets have been identified that warrant further detailed evaluation, usually by drill testing, trenching or some other form of detailed geological sampling. A Mineral Resource estimate may or may not have been made, but sufficient work will have been undertaken on at least one prospect to provide both a good understanding of the type of mineralisation present and encouragement that further work will elevate one or more of the prospects to the Mineral Resources category.
-
Pre-development Projects – Tenure holdings where Mineral Resources have been identified and their extent estimated (possibly incompletely), but where a decision to proceed with
SRK CONSULTING (AUSTRALASIA) PTY LTD JUNE 2021 MR/MC
4
Independent Geologist’s Report on the Tambourah, Cheela, Achilles and Julimar North projects Introduction Final
development has not been made. Properties at the early assessment stage, properties for which a decision has been made not to proceed with development, properties on care and maintenance and properties held on retention titles are included in this category if Mineral Resources have been identified, even if no further work is being undertaken.
-
Development Projects – Tenure holdings for which a decision has been made to proceed with construction or production or both, but which are not yet commissioned or operating at design levels. Economic viability of Development Projects will be proven by at least a pre-feasibility study (PFS).
-
Production Projects – Tenure holdings – particularly mines, wellfields and processing plants that have been commissioned and are in production.
SRK has classified the Tambourah and Cheela projects as Advanced Exploration Projects and the Achilles and Julimar North projects as Early Stage Exploration Projects.
Reporting of Exploration Results
Exploration Results noted or discussed in this report have been prepared from a range of historical reports. The historical reports were completed and submitted by suitably qualified persons on behalf of various companies and submitted according to the regulatory requirements and tenure regulations specific to the period. It is reasonable that, but cannot be assumed that all work was completed adequately, and reporting practises were completed to JORC reporting standards. Tambourah Metals is unable to take responsibility for previous work, however such results are included here and the historical work could be expected to be of a suitable and reasonable standard. The results herein should be considered in this context. This statement and the JORC compliance statement in this report comply with Listing Rule 5.6.
1.2 Forward-looking statement
Mineral exploration is a high-risk process, particularly during the early phases. It is possible that no significant mineralisation exists. Project success can also be impacted by uncertainty in the market, including volatility and variations in commodity prices, which may have either positive or negative impacts.
1.3 Work program
SRK’s work program commenced in February 2021, with a technical assessment of material data, including reports sourced from Tambourah Metals’ data room and subscription databases such as S&P Global Market Intelligence database services. Further to this review and assessment, the Report was prepared by SRK.
In accordance with the VALMIN Code (2015) Section 11.1, a site inspection to the Mineral Assets was not undertaken by SRK as, in SRK’s opinion, a site inspection was unlikely to reveal additional current information that was material to the Report, over and above that available in the supplied documentation.

2 Overview of Tambourah Metals Limited
Tambourah Metals is a mineral exploration company domiciled in Western Australia focused on the exploration of gold and base metals with an interest in four exploration projects in Western Australia. The locations of Tambourah Metals’ projects in Western Australia are presented in Figure 1-1.
2.1 Tenure
2.1.1 Property and title in Western Australia
In Western Australia, mineral resources falling within its borders belong to the State. The State controls property of mineral resources and has authority to grant mining rights.
There are seven types of mineral tenements prescribed under the Mining Act 1978 (WA):
-
Prospecting licences have a maximum area and must be marked out unless otherwise specified. A security (A$5,000) is required in respect of each licence. The term is four years, with the provision to extend for one further four-year period.
-
Special prospecting licences for gold must be marked out and may be granted on a prospecting or exploration licence if it is considered that activities could be carried on without undue detriment to the activities of the ‘primary tenement’ holder.
-
Exploration licences have a minimum size and a maximum size. A security (A$5,000) is required in respect of each licence. The term is five years plus possible extension of five years and further periods of two years thereafter, with 40 per cent of ground to be compulsorily surrendered at the end of year six.
-
Retention licences are a ‘holding’ title for a mineral resource that has been identified but is not able to be further explored or mined. They may be granted in respect of the whole or any part of land within the boundaries of a primary tenement(s), have no maximum area and the term cannot exceed five years and is renewable for further periods not exceeding five years.
-
Mining leases allow the property holder to exploit the mineral resources of the property, providing that environmental approval is obtained and subject to conditions of title.
-
General purpose leases are for purposes such as operating machinery, depositing or treating tailings, etc., and must be marked out and are limited to a depth of 15 m or such other depth that may be specified. The term is 21 years, and may be renewed for further terms.
-
Miscellaneous licences are for purposes such as roads and pipelines, or other infrastructure purposes prescribed in regulations. The term is 21 years, and may be renewed for further terms. They can be applied for over, and can ‘co-exist’ with, other mining tenements.
2.1.2 Liabilities
The Mining Act 1978 (WA) requires that a Programme of Work (PoW) is lodged in the prescribed manner and approved by the Minister (or a prescribed official) prior to an explorer or prospector conducting any ground disturbing activities with mechanised equipment.
SRK CONSULTING (AUSTRALASIA) PTY LTD JUNE 2021 MR/MC
8
Independent Geologist’s Report on the Tambourah, Cheela, Achilles and Julimar North projects Overview of Tambourah Metals Limited Final
Activities must be rehabilitated within six months of completion of ground disturbance, or following an approved extension. A rehabilitation report should then be submitted to the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DMIRS).
2.1.3 Status of Tenure
Information on the mineral rights applicable to the Project have been provided to SRK by Tambourah Metals and its legal advisors Steinepreis Paganin or details regarding licences in the Company’s portfolio.
All tenements and applications are located in Western Australia and 100% owned by Tambourah Metals. In total, the four Project areas’ tenements cover an area of approximately 113,100 ha.
To date, all required annual rental payments for the current year have been paid in full as at the Effective Date.
Further details of the legal status of the tenure are given in the Solicitor’s Report on title in the Prospectus.
More details of the ownership and tenure status as at the Effective Date is presented in Appendix A. Appendix A presents a summary of the ownership and tenure status as at the Effective Date for tenure held, and tenure under application respectively for the respective Projects. SRK has made all reasonable enquiries into this status and has relied on representations from Tambourah Metals that the information is correct of for the purpose of the Report.
2.2 Mineralisation models
2.2.1 Orogenic gold
Orogenic gold deposits, whether of Precambrian or Phanerozoic age, have many features in common and based on these similarities, the deposit group was defined by their now widely-accepted term (e.g. Goldfarb and Groves, 2015).
Tambourah, Cheela, Achilles
There is general agreement that the bulk of the gold mineralisation within the region of, and within the Tambourah, Cheela and Achilles project areas is orogenic, with mineralisation occurring late in the tectonic cycle (both proximal and distal).
Orogenic gold deposition models involve a source of fluid, a fluid pathway and a trap. The project areas are geologically interesting in that their regional setting is favourable for the supply of a fluid source and the first-order fluid pathways provided by the regional-scale structural discontinuities.
The volcano-sedimentary lithologies provide the traps where gold is likely to be deposited along the identified second-order structures adjacent to jogs and dilations (dislocations normally between 10 and 25 degrees to the main trend forming tensile stresses) in the first-order structures. Given that there are pre-gold granitic intrusions in the project areas, gold may also be deposited along the boundary between these older rigid granitoids and the younger ductile greenstones. These
SRK CONSULTING (AUSTRALASIA) PTY LTD JUNE 2021 MR/MC

boundaries are typically sites of stress and strain, providing favourable fluid pathways and zones for deposition of metals.

2.2.2 Ni-Cu-PGE
Ni-Cu-PGE sulphide deposits show a strong association with Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and/or voluminous komatiites. Both komatiite- and ortho-magmatic mafic intrusion-hosted deposits require long-lived feeder conduits – for example:
-
komatiite-hosted: major lava tubes/distributor channels in the komatiite flow:
-
e.g. re the Achilles Project
-
mafic-hosted: chonoliths and/or conduit dyke–sill systems:
-
e.g. re the Julimar North Project.
Achilles
The Achilles Project represents the northern continuation of the greenstone belt that hosts the Collurabbie Ni-Cu-PGE prospects. The targeted mineralisation is komatiite-associated Ni-Cu-PGE sulphide. The type-example of this deposit style is the Kambalda nickel camp, approximately 500 km to the south-southwest within Norseman-Wiluna belt of the Kalgoorlie Terrane.
Komatiites are magnesium-rich volcanic rocks extruded as high-temperature, low viscosity lavas with melt compositions greater than 18% magnesium oxide (MgO). Archean examples, such as those of the Yilgarn Craton, are typically hosted in narrow, linear, regionally continuous greenstone

10
Independent Geologist’s Report on the Tambourah, Cheela, Achilles and Julimar North projects Overview of Tambourah Metals Limited Final
belts. Melts are typically undersaturated in sulfur upon eruption and accumulate sulfur typically from sedimentary substrate for ore development. Rift settings provide environments rich in exhalative-derived sulfur which is the common sulfur source. Sulphide mineralisation in komatiiteassociated deposits is characteristically found within the highest MgO rocks within the host stratigraphy – invariably ultramafic coarse-grained olivine cumulates, though not exclusively.
Barnes (2006) defines two major types of komatiite-associated ore deposits:
-
Type 1: sulphide-rich accumulations at the base of lava pathways (massive sulphide ores)
-
Type 2: disseminated sulphides in the centre of very olivine-rich cumulate bodies (includes both extrusive and intrusive emplacement origin).
Ore assemblages are dominated by pyrrhotite, (and generally lesser) pentlandite, chalcopyrite and pyrite.

Julimar North
The Julimar North Project is located approximately 40 km northeast and east of the Julimar Ni-CuPGE-deposit (Chalice Mining Limited), which is considered to be an ortho-magmatic mafic intrusion-hosted sulphide deposit – this being the targeted mineralisation style.
Mafic intrusion-hosted deposits are generally associated with the following criteria:
-
genetically and spatially associated with intrusions rather than volcanics, typically forming within the roots of LIPs
-
deposits are dominantly post-Archean in age
-
associated with (paleo)craton boundaries and/or active orogenic belts, but form under a wide range of tectonic conditions
-
may form in areas of thinned crust (such as a marginal/rift basin) but more generally are found in areas of average to above-average crustal thickness
-
form at a range of upper-crustal levels – though generally deeper than komatiite-associated deposits

-
melts sourced as fractionated products of mantle-derived ultramafic magmas
-
magmas are undersaturated with sulfur, which is scavenged from crustal source typically during magma ascension
-
low MgO contents less than 12%.

3 Tambourah Project
3.1 Access and location
The Tambourah Project is located within the Pilbara region of Western Australia and lies within the Marble Bar (SF50-08) 1:250,000 scale and Tambourah (2754) 1:100,000 scale Geological Survey of Western Australia (GSWA) map sheets. The Project is located approximately halfway between the major mining regional service centres of Port Hedland and Newman, located approximately 190 km north-northwest and 180 km south-southeast of the Project, respectively: to the north of the Chichester Range. Hillside Station homestead, the base for a cattle enterprise is located approximately 20 km east-northeast of the Project.
The Project comprises a single granted Exploration Licence (E 45/4597) and four granted Prospecting Licences (P45/2868, P45/2869, P45/2870, P45/2871). The tenement package covers an area of approximately 696 ha and the maximum distance across the Project is about 3 km east–west and 8 km north–south.
Nearby mines include the Mt Webber (Atlas Iron Pty Ltd) iron ore mine (approximately 30 km to the north-northeast), the Cloudbreak (Fortescue Metals Group Limited) iron ore mine (approximately 60 km to the southeast) and the Wodgina (MARBL Lithium Joint Venture) lithium–tantalum–tin mine (approximately 80 km to the northwest).
Access to the Project is via the unsealed Hillside–Woodstock Road from the Great Northern Highway, approximately 45 km to the west-northwest. From there, the historical mining area is well serviced by unmaintained and recently constructed tracks allowing four-wheel drive access to the old workings. The Port Hedland and Newman regional airports are regularly serviced from the Western Australian state capital of Perth.

3.2 Physiography, climate and vegetation
The physiography of the Project area reflects the bedrock geology; greenstones outcrop as strikecontrolled ridges, whereas granitoid rocks are typically weathered flat, with a subdued undulating topography (Van Kranendonk, 2003).
The main vegetation in the Project area consists of shrub steppe of soft spinifex with scatted shrub species occurring predominantly on the large granitoid complexes. Further afield, rivers, floodplains and larger creeks are lined with sclerophyll woodlands of River Gum (Van Kranendonk, 2003).
The region experiences an arid climate, with a mean annual rainfall just above 300 mm. Rainfall is erratic, with dry winters, but the region is subject to floods from rainfall due to thunderstorm activity and decaying cyclones in the very hot summer months between December and April. The nearest full-time weather station is Marble Bar, approximately 85 km to the northeast of the Project, where average summer temperatures range between 26°C and 42°C, whereas average winter temperatures range between 12°C and 27°C. Climate charts summarising Marble Bar’s temperature and rainfall statistics are presented in Appendix B.

3.4 Geological setting
The Tambourah Project is geologically located in the northern part of the Archean-aged Pilbara Craton, an ovoid area of stable continental crust. The craton comprises ~3,655–2,830 Ma granitegreenstone, which constitutes the northern third of the exposed craton and is subdivided into the West Pilbara Superterrane and East Pilbara Terrane.
The Project area is entirely underlain by Archean-aged rocks, including metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks of the Pilbara Supergroup. The area forms part of the southern part of the East Pilbara Terrane and sits on the south-central part of the Marble Bar 1:250,000 geological (Hickman, 1983) and Tambourah 1:100,000 geological map sheets (Van Krandendonk et al., 2012). This part of the East Pilbara Terrane is characterised by the elliptical and domical granitic complexes of the Tambourah and Shaw domes, which are spatially divided by the arcuate Western Shaw greenstone belt. The western part of this greenstone belt on which the Tambourah Project sits comprises dominantly of mafic metavolcanic rocks including basalt, komatiitic basalt, and serpentinised peridotite; local dolerite sills of the ~3,460–3,425 Ma Apex Basalt belonging to the Warrawoona Group, and lesser amounts of metamorphosed felsic volcaniclastic rocks and chert.

3.5 Local geology
The Tambourah Project is situated along the western margin of the Western Shaw greenstone belt, on the eastern limb of an anticline, folded about the Tambourah Dome where the ~3,240 Ma Kavir Granodiorite meets the Apex Basalt of the Warrawoona Group. This greenstone belt strikes north–south and metabasalts adjacent to the Tambourah Dome are amphibolite facies, having been affected by contact metamorphism during granite emplacement. Metamorphic grade of the greenstones decreases away from granitoid complexes, from middle and lower amphibolite facies to lower greenschist. Amphibolites that lie immediately adjacent to granitoid rocks, and those preserved as enclaves within them, have been locally intruded by veins of granitic composition. Layered metabasalts of the Euro Basalt predominate to the east. The belt is bounded to the east by the Mulgandinnah Shear Zone which represents the western edge of the granitic Shaw Dome.
Mafic extrusives of the Apex Basalt consist largely of amphibolite-rich mafic to ultramafic metavolcanic rocks and are interbedded with several thin and persistent metasedimentary horizons, which include metapelites, quartzites and minor banded iron or banded chert.
Three periods of deformation are recognised in the granite–greenstone basement resulting in folding about an approximate north–south axis. The Warrawoona Group greenstone belt rocks host the Panorama volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) base metal deposits approximately 65 km to the north.

3.6 Previous exploration and mineralisation
Gold mineralisation at the Tambourah Project occurs in pyritic quartz reefs and veins intruded parallel to the regional stratigraphy along fractures within and adjacent to the intra-volcanic sedimentary horizons as well as bedding plane shears within the greenstones.
Gold was mined around the turn of the 20[th] century from the Tambourah and Western Shaw mining centres (Van Kranendonk, 2003). The bulk of the production came from Western Chief and nearby World’s Fair mines (McCrow, 2008). Total gold production (alluvial and dollied) from the Tambourah mining centre is reported as 163.2 kg (5,247 oz) (Hickman, 1983).

In 1989, Auridium NL completed a program of geological mapping and rock chip sampling at the Tambourah King, Western Chief, Alexandria and Kushmattie prospects.
In 1991, Auridium NL carried out a 13 drill hole shallow reconnaissance RC drilling program to test subsurface extensions of reefs below the workings. Results included an intercept of 8 m at

13.6 g/t Au at Kushmattie yielded in a mineralised zone of fresh pyritic quartz (Romanoff, 1991; McCrow, 2008). The true width was estimated to be 2 m and Auridium NL inferred an orebody of high-grade mineralisation which may be open at depth (see JORC Code Table 1 in Appendix C).
During the 2006–2007 period, a rock chip sampling program was completed by Cortona Resources Limited within the current Project area, focusing on the zones of old workings.
During the 2007–2009 period, GTI Resources Ltd undertook reprocessing and interpretation of airborne, magnetic and radiometric data and ASTER imaging, data compilation and evaluation (Younger, 2012). A soil sampling program of 512 samples was also completed designed to cover the area to test the main trends and historical working.
The historical mining and exploration results suggest that the approximately 3 km long trend that extends from the Victory historical mine workings in the south to the Kirkpatrick occurrence in the north is prospective for gold mineralisation.
3.7 Recent exploration
During 2019, under a Government of Western Australia Exploration Incentive Scheme grant, a 15 RC drill hole program was completed by Baracus within the current Project area totalling 999 m to test the historical drilling results and the extent of the known mineralisation (Nielsen, 2020). The drilling program confirmed the reliability of the historical drilling results and identified extensions of known auriferous quartz veins at surface and at depth, within the Tambourah Project area. Drill hole results at historical workings included (Figure 3-5)[1] :

3.8 Prospectivity and Targeting
3.8.1 Exploration potential and mineralisation targeting
Historical workings supported by the results from more recent RC drilling and rock chip sampling demonstrates the presence of anomalous gold mineralisation along an overall strike length of approximately 4 km within the Tambourah Project area.
Past exploration focused on the old workings at relatively shallow depths which have previously been explored, largely in isolation from each other. Less than 40 short drill holes are known to have been completed along the approximately 4 km strike length from the Victory prospect in the south to the Brilliant prospect in the north, with gold mineralisation potential remaining relatively untested at depth.
Using a multi-disciplinary and integrated approach to exploration combined with knowledge of known gold mineralisation models and nearby gold mines, Tambourah Metals has identified several different mineralisation styles which may be present within the Project area. These include the following targeting-related considerations:
-
that old workings in the Project area may be part of a major mineralising system or represent the remobilised portions of one, particularly since the West Shaw greenstone belt is ‘sandwiched’ between two major granitic domes (Tambourah Dome to the west and the faultbound Shaw Dome to the east) and conceivably could represents a major corridor for goldbearing fluids. Early workers often described gold mineralisation associated with ‘cherts’ but it is noted that more recent workers have suggested some of the cherts were rather mylonites – highly ductile-strained and recrystallised structural bands within the host rocks. This favours remobilisation and structural control as part of the genesis of some of the gold mineralisation.
-
that the eastern contact of the Tambourah Dome granitoids represents a poorly explored exploration target given that the Webbs Find gold prospect to the immediate northwest of the Project area is situated on this same contact.
The recent Hemi gold discovery by De Grey Mining Limited in 2019 (125 km to the northwest of the Project) is an intrusion-hosted form of gold mineralisation and of a scale that has not been previously recognised in the Pilbara Craton, confirming the province’s residual prospectivity for a range of gold mineralisation styles. Figure 3-1 shows the location of historical and recent gold discoveries in the Pilbara.
3.8.2 Proposed work
Further study by Tambourah Metals of all mineral occurrences within the West Shaw greenstone belt at the Tambourah Project will be completed to enhance an understanding of the possible mineralising events, their structural control and associated base metal mineralisation.
SRK CONSULTING (AUSTRALASIA) PTY LTD JUNE 2021 MR/MC
22
Independent Geologist’s Report on the Tambourah, Cheela, Achilles and Julimar North projects Tambourah Project Final
After completion of the regional study, a re-evaluation of previous exploration results and data within the Project area will be conducted as a basis to develop an exploration program that will include:
-
infill drilling between known gold mineralisation
-
extensional drilling to investigate mineralisation and any associated structures down-dip and down-plunge
-
mapping and geochemical assessment for drilling target development
-
geophysical surveys and interpretation
-
heritage surveys.
Based on the exploration results and prospectivity work undertaken to date at the Tambourah Project, Tambourah Metals has developed a two-year exploration budget for ongoing technical assessment activities consistent with the established potential of the area that relies on funds raised via the Proposed Listing as detailed in the Prospectus (Table 3-2).
The exploration program for Year 2 will depend on the results of the Year 1 program and may be revised or varied in accordance with those results.

3.9 Summary
Prior to acquisition by Tambourah Metals, Baracus conducted reviews of the Project since its acquisition of the tenure in 2013. The reviews have been multi-disciplinary in approach and
SRK CONSULTING (AUSTRALASIA) PTY LTD JUNE 2021 MR/MC
23
Independent Geologist’s Report on the Tambourah, Cheela, Achilles and Julimar North projects Tambourah Project Final
contributed to the local interpretation of the geological framework and gold mineralisation potential in the Project area.
In SRK’s opinion, Tambourah Metals’ understanding of the regional geological setting and the local mineralisation is reasonable and further assessment works are warranted.
SRK’s opinion on the potential for economic mineralisation at the Project is that there are reasonable prospects of finding economic gold mineralisation within each of Tambourah Metals’ targets by focused exploration resulting in well-planned drill holes for testing purposes.
Progressive expenditure will depend on the success of the proposed drilling and technical studies. Tambourah Metals may require additional funds should the outcome of the drilling necessitate modifications to the work program.
SRK notes that mineral assets at a similar stage of study are inherently speculative in nature given geological uncertainty. There has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.
The facts, opinions and assessments presented in this Report are current at the Effective Date of 21 June 2021.

4 Cheela Project
4.1 Access and location
The Cheela Project is located is located within the Pilbara region of Western Australia and lies within the Wyloo (SF50-10), Mount Bruce (SF50-11), Edmund (SF50-14), Turee Creek (SF50-15) 1:250,000 scale and Hardey (2252), Rocklea (2352), Capricorn (2251), Ashburton (2351) 1:100,000 scale GSWA map sheets. The Project is located approximately 50 km west-northwest of Paraburdoo (Figure 4-1). The major mining regional service centre of Karratha is located approximately 250 km north-northwest of the Project.
The Project comprises two granted Exploration Licences (E 08/2889, E 08/3053). The tenement package covers an area of approximately 38,158 ha and the maximum distance across the Project is approximately 70 km northwest–southeast and 20 km northeast–southwest.
Nearby mines include the Paulsens underground gold mine (Northern Star Resources Limited, approximately 60 km to the west-northwest), the Paraburdoo iron ore mines (approximately 40 km to the southeast) and the Tom Price iron ore mines (approximately 75 km to the northeast). The Karratha regional airport is regularly serviced from the Western Australian state capital of Perth.
Access to the Project is via the sealed Nanutarra–Wittenoom Road and the unsealed Ashburton Downs Roads that bisect the Project. Internal access is via unmaintained historical exploration tracks, a gas pipeline access track and unmaintained pastoral tracks that provide limited access into the areas of interest.

4.2 Physiography, climate and vegetation
The terrain of the Project area is of moderate-to-strong relief with bold rocky scarps and outcrops forming part of the Ashburton Botanical District (Beard, 1975). There is a well-defined drainage system that services the Ashburton River to the west and south. Mudstone and sandstone of the Ashburton Formation are colonised by species of Senna , Eremophila , and stunted Acacia (Thorne and Tyler, 1997).
The region experiences an arid climate, with mean annual rainfall between 200 mm and 300 mm. Most rain falls from January to June. Summers are very hot while winters are mild. The nearest fulltime weather station is Paraburdoo, approximately 50 km to the east-southeast of the Project, where average summer temperatures range between 24°C and 41°C, and average winter temperatures range between 10°C and 28°C. Climate charts summarising Paraburdoo’s temperature and rainfall statistics are presented in Appendix B.
4.3 Tenure
The Cheela Project covers an area of approximately 38,158 ha (Figure 4-1) and comprises two granted Exploration Licences (E 08/2889-I, E 08/3053). The project tenure is summarised in Table 4-1.

4.4 Geological setting
The Cheela Project is geologically located along the northern margin of the Ashburton Basin and part of the Turee Creek Basin, near the southern edge of the Hamersley Basin and part of the Fortescue Basin. The deformed margins of these continental margin rocks are part of the Capricorn Orogen – a ~1,000 km long, 500 km wide region of variably deformed Archean- to Proterozoicaged rocks located between the Pilbara and Yilgarn cratons. The Project lies along the interpreted ‘Ashburton structural corridor’ (Nanjilgardy Fault; Figure 4-2). The Nanjilgardy Fault is a major crustal-scale structure which extends to the mantle. The Paulsens mine and the Mount Olympus mine are both associated with this fault (Fielding et al., 2020). The Paulsens deposit is considered to be associated with orogenic gold mineralisation while the Mount Olympus deposit is considered to be associated with Carlin-style gold mineralisation (Fielding et al., 2020).

Components of the Lower Proterozoic Wyloo Group recognised within the Cheela Project are Beasley River Quartzite (relatively minor quartzites), Mount McGrath Formation (mainly hematitic clastic sediments with minor dolomite), Duck Creek Dolomite (predominately metadolomite with lesser argillite) and Ashburton Formation (micaceous arenites and argillites with a characteristic foliation).
The Wyloo Group unconformably overlies the Mount Bruce Supergroup (Turee Creek Basin) and the contact is considered to be tectonic, at least in part. Regional strike of the geology is westnorthwest. This is also the direction of a major faulting and folding system. Duricrust includes predominantly calcretes and silcretes with lesser ferricretes which are developed extensively (but not exclusively) over the Duck Creek Dolomite (Thorne et al., 1991).
4.5 Local geology
The Cheela Project area covers approximately 70 km strike length of the northwest-trending Nanjilgardy Fault and is located within a broad zone of north-northwest-trending faults that form the subsidiary set of structures to those that intersect the Duck Creek Dolomite strata at the Electric Dingo prospect (held by Northern Star Resources Limited).
Mineralisation occurs around the transition between the Mount McGrath Formation and the Duck Creek Dolomite, which consists of thick, clean limestones, marlstones, sandstones and black shale. Tambourah Metals’ focus at the Cheela Project is gold anomalism along the Cheela Fault and Nanjilgardy Fault (Figure 4-3).

4.6 Previous exploration and mineralisation
Previous exploration and field reconnaissance at the Cheela Project, including drilling programs, has identified significant prospectivity for gold mineralisation.
Between 1996 and 1999, Sipa Exploration NL (Sipa) undertook extensive exploration for gold and base metals. The Ashburton project southeast of the current Cheela Project area included sampling for gold and base metals, mapping and RC drilling.
Between 2004 and 2006, Newcrest, in joint venture with Sipa, completed RC and diamond drilling on gold occurrences within the major west-northwest-trending structures along the northern margin of the Ashburton Basin, which comprises sequences from the Mount Bruce Supergroup and the Wyloo Group.
Recent exploration has focused on the Cheela Fault and Nanjilgardy Fault trends.
Previous returned drill hole results included (Figure 4-4)[2] :

4.7 Recent exploration
Northern Star Resources Limited (Northern Star) acquired the Cheela Project tenure from Sipa in 2011, surrendering the project in 2017. Northern Star surrendered most of the area of Exploration Licence E 08/1650, leaving only two graticular blocks covering the Electric Dingo prospect.
In 2011, Northern Star drilled at the Cheela and Cheela West prospects testing gold anomalism east of Nanjilgardy Fault. Drill hole ACHRC0003 intercepted significant gold mineralisation, for example returning 15 m at 4.62 g/t Au from 33 m, including 6 m at 9.35 g/t Au (Mukherji, 2017).

Exploration results displayed in maps and diagrams in this report are from historical work. Where possible and practical the results have been transcribed from public source reports such as WAMEX reports. Selected results are highlighted in the diagrams and the locations and results are included along with JORC compliance information. Some historical exploration campaigns included exploration for base metals and these results have not been included in the JORC Table 1.
Since acquisition of the Project tenure by Baracus in 2018, multi-disciplinary reviews have been conducted that have contributed to Tambourah Metals’ local interpretation of the geological framework and gold mineralisation potential in the Project area.
4.8 Prospectivity and targeting
4.8.1 Exploration potential and mineralisation targeting
Historical and recent exploration results support the presence of significant gold mineralisation along an overall strike length of approximately 2.5 km within the Cheela Project area.
The Project has a long exploration history dating back to 1980s. Exploration returned significant gold anomalism in the holes drilled in and around the Cheela prospect which SRK considers is worthy of further follow-up and deeper drill targeting. Gold anomalism along the Cheela Fault and Nanjilgardy Fault systems warrants further follow-up and deeper down-dip drilling.
There are several identified drilling targets and anomalies (geological, geophysical and geochemical) that require ground-truthing. Additional work planned by Tambourah Metals is outlined below.
4.8.2 Proposed work
The following activities are planned by Tambourah Metals at the Cheela Project:
-
heritage surveys
-
ground checking and reconnaissance work of the geological, geochemical and geophysical anomalies throughout the Project area
-
geophysical surveys and interpretation
-
engaging an exploration geochemistry consultant to review and interpret all geochemical data collected to date in assisting with developing drilling targets
-
drill testing (RC and diamond) of known priority targets.
Based on the exploration results and prospectivity work undertaken to date at the Cheela Project, Tambourah Metals has developed a two-year exploration budget for ongoing technical assessment activities consistent with the established potential of the area that relies on funds raised via the Proposed Listing as detailed in the Prospectus (Table 4-2).

4.9 Summary
Tambourah Metals has conducted reviews of the Project since acquisition of the Project tenure by Baracus in 2018. The reviews have been multi-disciplinary in approach and contributed to the local interpretation of the geological framework and gold mineralisation potential in the Project area.
In SRK’s opinion, Tambourah Metals’ understanding of the regional geological setting and the local mineralisation is reasonable and further assessment works are warranted.
SRK’s opinion on the potential for economic gold mineralisation at the Project is that there are reasonable prospects of finding economic gold mineralisation within each of Tambourah Metals’ targets by focussed exploration resulting in well-planned drill holes for testing purposes.
Progressive expenditure will depend on the success of the proposed drilling and technical studies. Tambourah Metals may require additional funds should the outcome of the drilling necessitate modifications to the work program.
SRK notes that mineral assets at a similar stage of study are inherently speculative in nature given geological uncertainty. There has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource on Tambourah Metals’ tenure and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.
The facts, opinions and assessments presented in this Report are current at the Effective Date of 21 June 2021.

5 Achilles Project
5.1 Access and location
The Achilles Project is located within the Pilbara region of Western Australia and lies within the Kingston (SG5110) 1:250,000 scale and Collurabbie (3344) 1:100,000 scale GSWA map sheets. The Project is remote, located approximately 190 km east of Wiluna and 200 km north Laverton.
The Project comprises two granted Exploration Licences (E 38/3317, E 38/3153). The tenement package covers an area of approximately 22,654 ha and the maximum distance across the Project is about 18 km east–west and 25 km north–south.
Nearby mines include the Jundee (Northern Star) gold mine (approximately 160 km to the westnorthwest) and the Moolart Well (Regis Resources Limited) gold mine (approximately 90 km to the south-southeast).
Access to the project from the northern side is via the unsealed Gunbarrel Highway then unsealed pastoral station roads past the Old Windidda outstation. From the southern side, access is via unpaved roads north of Laverton, old exploration tracks and station tracks. WMC Resources Limited/BHP Billiton Limited upgraded access from the south in the 2000s to accommodate access by drill rigs and support vehicles to the adjacent-to-the south Collurabbie Ni-Cu-PGE project which it formerly had part-ownership of.

5.2 Physiography, climate and vegetation
The Project area comprises stony hills and ranges which support low mulga scrub and other small shrubs. Sheetwash plains and floodplains, contain low woodland of mulga and a ground cover of grasses (Bunting, 1977). The larger water courses support lines of eucalypts along the banks. The marginal flats around salt lakes are characterised by salt-tolerant plants such as saltbush, bluebush, and samphire. The sandplains are dominated by spinifex associated with scattered mallee mulga, and marble gum.
The region’s climate is semi-arid to arid. Summers are hot and winters cool to mild. Mean annual rainfall is between 200 mm and 250 mm but highly variable with the area subject to drought as well as localised flooding following heavy rainfall. The nearest full-time weather station is Carnegie, approximately 130 km to the northeast of the Project, where average summer temperatures range between 22°C and 39°C, whereas average winter temperatures range between 6°C and 21°C. Climate charts summarising Carnegie’s temperature and rainfall statistics are presented in Appendix B.
5.3 Tenure
The Achilles Project covers an area of approximately 22,654 ha (Figure 5-1) and comprises two granted Exploration Licences (E 38/3153, E 38/3317). The project tenure is summarised in Table 5-1.

5.4 Geological setting
The Achilles Project is geologically located in the Archean Yilgarn Craton, which is comprised of various terranes that can be distinguished based on geochemical, geochronological and stratigraphic criteria (e.g. Cassidy et al., 2006; Figure 5-2). The Youanmi Terrane, South West Terrane and Narryer Terrane form the West Yilgarn (Mole et al., 2013) which is separated from the Eastern Goldfields Superterrane by the crustal-scale Ida Fault (Figure 5-2). The Youanmi Terrane and the Eastern Goldfields Superterrane contain substantial greenstone belts which are separated by granite and gneiss and is subdivided, from west to east, into the Kalgoorlie, Kurnalpi, Burtville and Yamarna Terranes (Figure 5-2). The Achilles Project sits on the northern margin of the Burtville Terrane with the Paleoproterozoic-aged Earaheedy Basin.

The Achilles Project is located within the Gerry Well greenstone belt along with the adjacent to-thesouth Collurabbie project which hosts a series of Ni-Cu-PGE prospects, including the Olympia prospect. South of the Gerry Well greenstone belt is in the Duketon greenstone belt which hosts the Moolart Well gold mine, approximately 90 km to the south of the Project.
The Archean-aged geology in the Project area comprises a north-northwest-striking greenstone sequence, and voluminous granitoid batholiths are interpreted to flank the greenstone sequence in the eastern and western extremities of the Project (Figure 5-3).

The greenstone sequence comprises felsic, mafic, ultramafic and sedimentary units, although the only units to outcrop at surface are chert and banded iron formation ridges. Archean rocks are exposed at surface in the southern part of the Project area but become progressively buried by the onlapping Paleoproterozoic sediments of the Earaheedy Basin to the north.
SRK CONSULTING (AUSTRALASIA) PTY LTD JUNE 2021 MR/MC

Independent Geologist’s Report on the Tambourah, Cheela, Achilles and Julimar North projects Achilles Project Final
The Earaheedy Basin sedimentary package consists of a basal peletal, haematitic chert (including banded iron formation) horizons overlain by quartzite, dolomite and siltstones. In areas, dolomitic stromatolites are recorded at the unconformity surface. Several broadly east–west-trending Proterozoic dykes, likely doleritic (mafic), transect the area. The dykes are easily identifiable in the aeromagnetic imagery available for the area and are also seen in outcrop as pronounced east–west ridges. The rocks in the area have undergone regional upper greenschist/lower amphibolite facies metamorphism.
5.5 Local geology
The Achilles Project is located 2 km north of the Troy Ni-Cu-PGE prospect at the Collurabbie project within the Archean Gerry Well greenstone belt. The Collurabbie project comprises a series of Ni-Cu-PGE prospects hosted in komatiite-associated ultramafic and includes the Olympia deposit, the most significant of these. Regional aeromagnetics data suggests that these ultramafics extend north into the Achilles Project.
Outcrop throughout the Project area is sparse and the immediate surficial cover sequences consist primarily of unconsolidated sand and dunes together with Quaternary colluvium and alluvial sheet wash. Flat sand plains influenced by irregular paleotopography are present and generally thicken to the east and north, while partially lateritised paleochannels form lateritised terrains. The depth of this Quaternary to Tertiary cover is generally only a few metres but is locally up to 14 m (Bunting, 1977). The greenstone succession is interpreted from mapping, drill hole data and aeromagnetic imagery and consists of mafic and ultramafic, felsic volcanic and volcaniclastic and sedimentary rocks, including banded iron formation and banded chert. Ultramafic units in the region are typically represented by broad aeromagnetic highs, while banded iron formation and banded chert units are typically represented as thin aeromagnetic highs. The contact with granitic rocks to the west and northeast of the Project is defined by the northern extension of the Turnback Fault and De La Poer Fault systems, respectively, and is intensely sheared.
The Gerry Well greenstone belt is poorly exposed; however, metamorphism appears to be mostly greenschist facies, apart from restricted narrow zones along the greenstone margins where metamorphism is up to amphibolite facies, with primary textures commonly obliterated in these areas.
Rocks of the Gerry Well greenstone belt that lie within the Project area are overlain by the southern margin (and scattered outliers) of the Paleoproterozoic Earaheedy Basin, which includes isolated outliers of the Permo-Carboniferous Paterson Formation of the Canning Basin. Rocks of the Earaheedy Basin within the area consist of granular iron beds separated by shales, siltstones and carbonate and banded iron formations of the Frere Formation. Scattered outliers of fluvio-glacial Permo-Carboniferous rocks of the Paterson Formation overlie the Earaheedy Basin rocks and Archean granite-greenstone sequences. Several outliers of fluvial rocks of probable Proterozoic age also overlie the Gerry Well greenstone belt and surrounding granitic rocks.
Aeromagnetics and gravity imagery suggests that the Yilgarn Craton, including the Gerry Well greenstone belt, continues beneath the Earaheedy Basin, extending to the north. This is supported by limited drilling through the southern part of the Earaheedy Basin.

5.6 Previous exploration and mineralisation
Most of the previous exploration in the Project area was conducted by North Limited in the 1990s, with a focus on gold. This included detailed aeromagnetics, soil and auger sample assaying, dipole-dipole induced polarisation and RC drilling. Prior to this BHP Minerals Pty Ltd and Newcrest had also conducted gold exploration work in the area.
In 2000, the GSWA carried out a regional multi-element geochemical sampling of regolith within the Kingston 1:250,000 map sheet on an approximate 3 km by 3.5 km grid.
Exploration for nickel in the area was intermittent since the 1970s until extensive exploration in 2003 by WMC Resources Limited (acquired by BHP Billiton Limited in 2005) to the south of the Achilles Project, as part of the Collurabbie joint venture with Falcon Minerals Limited. BHP Billiton Limited divested its 70% interest in the joint venture to Falcon Minerals Limited in 2010 before Rox Resources Limited acquired the Collurabbie project in 2016. An Inferred Mineral Resource of 573,000 t grading 1.63% Ni, 1.19% Cu, 0.082% Co, 1.49 g/t Pd, 0.85 g/t Pt has been reported at Olympia (Rox Resources, 2017). The style of nickel sulphide mineralisation has been compared to the Raglan nickel deposits in Canada, a significant nickel sulphide province, based on the higher concentrations of Cu and PGE versus Ni at Collurabbie.
In 2003, a detailed airborne magnetic, radiometric and digital elevation survey was carried out by UTS Geophysics Pty Ltd for Creasy Group Pty Ltd (Creasy Group). The survey consisted of 50 m spaced lines with a 30 m sensor height, totalling 1,513 line-km. The results of the geophysical data processing and total magnetic intensity imagery confirmed that the ultramafic unit that hosts the Collurabbie project nickel sulphide mineralisation to the south of the Achilles Project extends along strike in a northwesterly direction into the Project area.
In 2006, a ground electromagnetic (EM) survey was carried out by Outer-rim Exploration Services Pty Ltd for Creasy Group over the southern part of the project where the Paleoproterozoic cover is thought to be thinnest. A total of 19.2-line km was surveyed which generated 20 anomalous responses. Two priority EM anomalies were selected for drilling. In addition, a gold target was generated at the intersection of an interpreted banded iron formation and a cross-cutting structure.
In 2007 and 2008, seven angle RC holes were drilled by Creasy Group for a total of 1,945 m over the previously identified EM targets to identify the conductive sources (Creasy, 2012). Two holes failed to reach target depth (CBRC001, CBRC007) due to excess groundwater and difficult ground conditions.
In 2010–2011, Greasy Group selected four anomalies for RC drilling based on modelling of the regional total magnetic intensity data for a total of 1,135 m. The source of the magnetic anomalies in SCRC001 and SCRC003 was explained by the presence of magnetite-bearing banded iron formation beneath the Proterozoic cover sequences (Creasy, 2012). In SCRC0004, SCRC0005, and SCRC006, despite the lack of visible mineralisation, the holes intersected high-MgO ultramafics (peridotites) which may have acted as preferred lava pathways (Creasy, 2012). Creasy (2012) suggested follow-up work in order to assess the Ni-Cu-PGE potential.

5.7 Recent exploration
A recent review by Tambourah Metals identified potential for similar komatiite-associated Ni-Cu-PGE and gold mineralisation styles encountered in the adjoining Collurabbie project area to the south. Field investigations and sampling will assist in determining targets to drill test. Follow-up drilling will also further test anomalous multi-element results in areas adjacent to the Project.
5.8 Prospectivity and targeting
5.8.1 Exploration potential and mineralisation targeting
Previous exploration work demonstrates the Project area is prospective for Ni-Cu-PGE and gold mineralisation and warrants follow-up work. There are several identified anomalies (geological, geophysical and geochemical) that require additional ground work.
5.8.2 Proposed work
The following activities are planned by Tambourah Metals at the Achilles Project with the aim of identifying areas of anomalous Ni, Cu, Co and PGEs in developing targets for drill testing. These include:
-
ground checking of the geological, geochemical and geophysical anomalies throughout the Project area
-
further reconnaissance work, including mapping and rock chip geochemistry
-
completing an updated interpretation of the Achilles Project geology and integrate this with the geochemistry, geophysics and surface geological interpretation to refine targets to drill test
-
engage an exploration geochemistry consultant to review and interpret all geochemical data collected to date
-
RC and diamond drilling.
Based on the exploration results and prospectivity work undertaken to date at the Achilles Project, Tambourah Metals has developed a two-year exploration budget for ongoing technical assessment activities consistent with the established potential of the area that relies on funds raised via the Proposed Listing as detailed in the Prospectus (Table 5-2).
The exploration program for Year 2 will depend on the results of the Year 1 program and may be revised or varied in accordance with those results.

6.1 Access and location
The Project is located within the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia and lies within the Perth (SH50-14) and southern end of the Moore (SH50-10) 1: 250,000 scale and within the Moora (2136), Chittering (2135), Goomalling (2235), Northam (2234) 1: 100,000 scale GSWA map sheets. The Project is located approximately 100 km northeast of the West Australian state capital of Perth and centred around New Norcia (Figure 6-1).
The Project comprises two granted Exploration Licences (E 70/5411, E 70/5423) and two pending Exploration Licences under application (E 70/5407, E70/5408). The tenement package covers an area of approximately 50,828 ha and the maximum distance across the Project is about 60 km east–west and 80 km north–south.
The recent nearby discovery of the Julimar PGE-Ni-Cu-Co deposit by Chalice Mining Limited (Chalice Mining Limited, 2020) (approximately 35 km southeast of E 70/5407 and 40 km west of E 70/5423) has opened up the region as a new Ni-Cu-PGE sulphide province.
Access to the project from Perth is via the Great Northern Highway. The western part of the Project is then accessed via the Bindoon–Moora Road and the eastern part of the Project via the Bindi Bindi–Toodyay Road and unsealed gazetted roads and farm tracks. The Project is also near narrow gauge rail lines servicing the region’s wheat sector and near existing power infrastructure.

6.2 Physiography, climate and vegetation
The Project area is situated within land that has been largely cleared of its original vegetation for agriculture. The Darling Fault escarpment is to the west of the Project area and sits on the Darling Plateau. The area is dominated by granitic soils overlying Archean-aged rocks with an average elevation of about 300 m (Wilde and Low, 1975). East of the Darling Fault, precipitation decreases markedly and the rainfall and geology exert a strong control on the original vegetation. For example, Salmon Gum has a preference for heavy soils derived from Archean-aged rocks such as those derived from amphibolite and banded iron formation, which serve to mark these outcrops in areas otherwise dominated by granitic soils (Carter et al., 1978).
The area’s climate is similar to that of Perth with a dry-summer, subtropical (Mediterranean) climate. Most of the rain falls during the cooler winter months of May to September. The summer months of December to March are hot and dry, while November and April are warm and changeable. The nearest full-time weather station is Wongan Hills, between approximately 20 km and 70 km to the northeast of the Project area, where average summer temperatures range between 16°C and 35°C and average winter temperatures range between 7°C and 21°C. Climate charts summarising Wongan Hills’ temperature and rainfall statistics are presented in Appendix B.
6.3 Tenure
The Julimar North Project covers an area of approximately 12,910 ha (Figure 6-1) and comprises two granted Exploration Licences (E 70/5411, E 70/5423) and two pending Exploration Licences under application (E 70/5407, E70/5408). The project tenure is summarised in Table 6-1.

6.4 Geological setting
The Julimar North Project is geologically located in the South West Terrane, which occupies the lower southwestern part of the of the Yilgarn Craton (Figure 5-2). Wilde et al. (1996) further divided the region into three additional tectonic units – the Balingup, Boddington and Lake Grace ‘terranes’ (Figure 6-2; Smithies et al., 2018). These are separated by inferred north- or northwesterly-trending shear zones which intersect three metamorphic belts – defined by north-northwesterly-trending regions of high-grade metasedimentary granulite and gneiss, dominantly of pelitic and psammitic compositions (Smithies et al., 2018). From southwest to northeast these are the Balingup, Chittering and Jimperding metamorphic belts (Figure 6-3).

The Lake Grace terrane is characterised by sediments, greenstones, granitoids, and migmatite, mostly at granulite facies. The eastern portion of the Jimperding metamorphic belt is included in the terrane. The metamorphic rocks consist of thin units of orthoquartzite, arkosic paragneiss, and banded iron formation, interleaved with a variety of garnetiferous orthogneiss and ultramafic units, and all enclosed within granitoids (Wilde, 2001).
The Boddington terrane includes the northern part of the Jimperding metamorphic belt. The Jimperding metasediments in the Boddington terrane form part of a major nappe that has been strongly refolded (Wilde and Low, 1978), with metamorphic grade increasing eastward from lower amphibolite to amphibolite–granulite transition facies (Wilde, 2001).

6.5 Local geology
The Yarawindah Brook and Newleyine Ni-Cu-PGE prospect areas are located approximately 15 km southeast of New Norcia and Toodyay respectively and are the nearest Ni-Cu-PGE prospects to the Project.
Exploration Licences E 70/5407, E 70/5408 and E 70/5411 sit approximately 10 km west, 20 km northwest and 25 km southeast of the Yarawindah Brook prospects, respectively. Exploration Licence E 70/5423 is located 5 km north of the Newleyine prospect.
The Yarawindah Brook Ni-Cu-PGE prospect is indicated by a distinct magnetic feature representing a 4 km by 0.75 km north-northwest-striking mafic–ultramafic segment within the Jimperding metamorphic belt (Cornelius, 2003).
The Yarawindah Brook mafic–ultramafic sequence is considered the target host rock type for the region. Its age has not been determined but conceivably belongs to the same magmatic event as the Julimar complex that hosts the Julimar-Gonneville PGE-Ni-Cu-Co deposit; however, given that deformation of the Yarawindah complex is consistent with high amphibolite-facies metamorphism, the igneous package likely pre-dates the ~2650 Ma (Pidgeon et al., 2010) Jimperding tectonometamorphic event.
The body can be described as a mafic rock assemblage which has intruded strata-parallel into sedimentary rocks and has itself then been intruded by an ultramafic phase. Rock types include tremolitic serpentinite after olivine gabbronorite and harzburgite and plagioclase-bearing amphibolite after gabbronorite (Cornelius, 2003). Relatively fresh gabbronorite in the middle of the lower mafic unit exhibits well preserved igneous textures (O’Shea, 1989).
The ultramafic component shows significantly higher content of ferromagnesian minerals than the upper and lower mafic units, a pattern also reflected by higher magnesium values (O’Shea, 1989).
The Newleyine Ni-Cu-PGE prospect is defined by a distinct bullseye magnetic anomaly 1.5 km in diameter with coincident Ni and Cu geochemical anomalism (Mandrake Resources Limited, 2020).
Adjoining to the north of the Bolgart East Exploration Licence (E 70/5411) lies Pursuit Minerals Limited’s Phil’s Hill prospect that has recently reported soil geochemistry and electromagnetic anomalies (Pursuit Minerals Limited, 2021).
Approximately 40 km north-northwest of the Yarawindah Brook prospects lies the Mt Yule coppergold prospect. Liontown Resources Limited (2020) reports that anomalism at this prospect is hosted in intrusive mafic–ultramafic units and may have similarities to mineralisation intersected at the Julimar project approximately 85 km to the south.
Approximately 12 km east of Exploration Licence E 70/5408 lies the Caravel copper project. The mineralisation at the prospects is believed to be of a porphyry and/or skarn deposit style which occurs within a possible larger-scale Archean subduction-related geological setting (Caravel Minerals Limited, 2019).

6.6 Previous exploration and mineralisation
Historical exploration over Tambourah Metals’ granted and pending tenure at the Julimar North Project dates back to the 1960s. For bauxite, the area is historically known as the Wandoo Project area where bauxite resources have been reported in lateritic granite (Mattinson, 2016). Previous tenement holders have explored for iron ore, bauxite, kaolin, minerals sands, vanadium, gold, copper, molybdenum and nickel in the area. No known historical exploration for Ni-Cu-PGE sulphides has been conducted on the Project tenure. This is likely due to the lack of an obvious and compelling geophysical or geochemical target within the granted and pending tenements. Historical exploration for other metals on the Project tenure has so far not delivered any obvious and compelling targets.
The nearby Yarawindah Brook Ni-Cu-PGE prospect has a long exploration history dating back to 1975 when Otter Exploration NL pegged the project tenure in 1975, following the discovery of several outcropping gossans by prospector Stuart Forster in 1974 (Caspin, 2020). Disseminated sulphides are the most abundant mineralisation style, although copper-rich and nickel-rich semi-massive sulphides have been intersected within quartzite along the present upper (eastern) contact between the mafic–ultramafic complex and the overlying metasediments (Caspin, 2020).
At the Newleyine Ni-Cu-PGE prospect, ground magnetics has demonstrated the ovoid-shaped Newleyine magnetic anomaly contains a distinct internal structure, comprising a series of magnetic-high lenses and potential structural offsets.
6.7 Recent exploration
Tambourah Metals is still to commence any on-ground exploration activities at the Project since the granting of Exploration Licences at Bolgart East (E 70/5411) and Tolarno (E 70/5423) in March 2021.
6.8 Prospectivity and targeting
6.8.1 Exploration potential and mineralisation targeting
Exploration for magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE sulphides in the region has gained significant impetus from the recent high-profile PGE-Ni-Cu-Co-Au discovery at the nearby Julimar mafic–ultramafic complex by Chalice Mines Limited, approximately 35 km southeast of Exploration Licence E 70/5407 and 40 km west of Exploration Licence E 70/5423. Caspin Resources Limited have grouped the mafic-ultramafic intrusive rocks in the region to be part of the ‘New Norcia nickel sulphide province’.
Mineralisation encountered at the nearby Yarawindah Brook and Newleyine Ni-Cu-PGE prospects implies that any mafic–ultramafic rocks situated within Tambourah Metals’ Julimar North Project would be fertile and prospective for magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE sulphide mineralisation. The Mt Yule copper-gold prospect is reportedly hosted in intrusive mafic–ultramafic units and may have similarities to mineralisation intersected at the Julimar project approximately 85 km to the south (Liontown Resources Limited, 2021).
The Caravel copper-gold project is located approximately 12 km east of Exploration Licence E 70/5408 with a reported Mineral Resource comprising the Bindi, Dasher and Opie deposits. The
SRK CONSULTING (AUSTRALASIA) PTY LTD JUNE 2021 MR/MC
47
Independent Geologist’s Report on the Tambourah, Cheela, Achilles and Julimar North projects Julimar North Project Final
mineralisation at the prospects is believed to be of a porphyry and/or skarn deposit style which occurs within a possible larger scale Archean subduction-related geological setting (Caravel Minerals Limited, 2019). Approximately 5 km north of the Bindi deposit lies the Ninan copper-gold prospect, interpreted to be of the same mineralisation style as the Carvel project deposits (Caravel Minerals Limited, 2020).
Further mineralisation potential assessment for the range of commodities of interest to Tambourah Metals is required over the Project.

6.8.2 Proposed work
Tambourah Metals plans to first undertake a thorough review of previous exploration in the area and capture all geological data (including geophysics, rock chip samples, soil samples, previous drilling etc.) into a GIS (Geographical Information Systems) environment, followed by reconnaissance fieldwork including visiting outcrops and sites of historical exploration and mapping. The focus of this work will be to better understand potential for geological controls on NiCu-PGE, copper and gold mineralisation in refining exploration targets.
Based on the exploration results and prospectivity work undertaken to date at the Julimar North Project, Tambourah Metals has developed a two-year exploration budget for ongoing technical assessment activities consistent with the established potential of the area that relies on funds raised via the Proposed Listing as detailed in the Prospectus (Table 6-2).
The exploration program for Year 2 will depend on the results of the Year 1 program and may be revised or varied in accordance with those results.

6.9 Summary
Tambourah Metals has conducted reviews of the Project since acquisition of the Project tenure in 2020. The reviews have been multi-disciplinary in approach and contributed to the local interpretation of the geological framework and Ni-Cu-PGE and copper-gold mineralisation potential in the Project area.
In SRK’s opinion, Tambourah Metals’ understanding of the regional geological setting and the local mineralisation is reasonable and further assessment works are warranted.
SRK’s opinion on the potential for economic mineralisation at the Project is that there are limited prospects of finding economic Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation due to the lack of geological, geophysical
SRK CONSULTING (AUSTRALASIA) PTY LTD JUNE 2021 MR/MC
50
Independent Geologist’s Report on the Tambourah, Cheela, Achilles and Julimar North projects Julimar North Project Final
and geochemical evidence of the presence of mafic–ultramafic intrusions. SRK notes that the potential for economic copper-gold and gold mineralisation at the Project may be better than that for Ni-Cu-PGE. Additional focused exploration in each of the Julimar North Project tenements is required in developing targets and to design well-planned drill hole targets for testing purposes.
Progressive expenditure will depend on the success of the proposed drilling and technical studies. Tambourah Metals may require additional funds should the outcome of the drilling necessitate modifications to the work program.
SRK notes that mineral assets at a similar stage of study are inherently speculative in nature given geological uncertainty. There has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.
The facts, opinions and assessments presented in this Report are current at the Effective Date of 21 June 2021.

Dear Board
SOLICITOR’S REPORT ON TENEMENTS
This Report is prepared for inclusion in a prospectus for the initial public offer ( Offer ) of 25,000,000 shares in the capital of Tambourah Metals Ltd (ACN 646 651 612) ( Company ) at an issue price of $0.20 cents per share to raise a minimum of $5,000,000 with the ability to accept oversubscriptions of up to a further 15,000,000 shares at an issue price at $0.20 per share to raise a further $3,000,000 ( Prospectus ).
1. SCOPE
We have been requested to report on certain mining tenements in which the Company has or has applied for an interest (the Tenements ).
The Tenements are located in Western Australia. Details of the Tenements are set out in Part I of this Report.
This Report is limited to the Searches (as defined below) set out in Section 2 of this Report.
2. SEARCHES
For the purposes of this Report, we have conducted searches and made enquiries in respect of all of the Tenements as follows ( Searches ):
- (a) we have obtained mining tenement register searches of the Tenements from the registers maintained by the Western Australian Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety ( DMIRS ) ( Tenement Searches ). These searches
5478-01/2662696_6
Tambourah Metals Ltd 24 June 2021

were conducted on 17 June 2021. Key details on the status of the Tenements are set out in Part I of this Report;
-
(b) we have obtained results of searches of the schedule of native title applications, register of native title claims, national native title register, register of indigenous land use agreements and national land use agreements as maintained by the National Native Title Tribunal ( NNTT ) for any native title claims (registered or unregistered), native title determinations and indigenous land use agreements ( ILUAs ) that overlap or apply to the Tenements. This material was obtained on 18 June 2021. Details of any native title claims (registered or unregistered), native title determinations and ILUAs are set out in Section 7 of this Report and Part II of this Report;
-
(c) we have obtained searches from the online Aboriginal Heritage Inquiry System maintained by the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage ( DPLH ) for any Aboriginal sites registered on the Western Australian Register of Aboriginal sites over the Tenements ( Heritage Searches ). These searches were conducted on 17 June 2021. Details of any Aboriginal Sites are set out in Part II of this Report;
-
(d) we have obtained quick appraisal user searches of Tengraph which is maintained by the DMIRS to obtain details of features or interests affecting the Tenements ( Tengraph Searches ). These searches were conducted on 17 June 2021. Details of any material issues identified from the Tengraph Searches are set out in the notes to Part I of this Report; and
-
(e) we have reviewed all material agreements relating to the Tenements provided to us or registered as dealings against the Tenements as at the date of the Tenement Searches and have summarised the material terms (details of which are set out in Part III of this Report).
3. OPINION
As a result of our Searches, but subject to the assumptions and qualifications set out in this Report, we are of the view that, as at the date of the relevant Searches this Report provides an accurate statement as to:
-
(a) the Company’s interest in the Tenements;
-
(b) the validity and good standing of the Tenements; and
-
(c) third party interests, including encumbrances and private land, in relation to the Tenements.
4. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Subject to the qualifications and assumptions in this Report, we consider the following to be material issues in relation to the Tenements:
- (a) Applications for Tenements
Two of the Tenements are applications and have not yet been granted. The grant of these Tenements is therefore not guaranteed and the applications for the Tenements will need to satisfy the additional requirements to be valid under the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth).

-
(b) The applications are in the name of a third party (Baracus Pty Ltd (ACN 009 132 334)). Under the Tenement Acquisition Agreement between the Company and Baracus Pty Ltd:
-
(i) Baracus Pty Ltd will hold the respective rights and interests in the applications on trust for the Company;
-
(ii) Baracus Pty Ltd authorises the Company, at the Company’s cost, to pursue the applications and procure their grant; and
-
(iii) the Company will be responsible for the conduct of the determination of the applications as it determines in its sole discretion.
In addition, from the date of settlement until the date the Company becomes the registered holder, Baracus Pty Ltd grants the Company the exclusive licence, right and liberty to enter the Tenements (to the extent they are granted) for the purposes of carrying out mining operations (as that term is defined in the Mining Act), which licence is given for the purposes of section 118A of the Mining Act.
Part I of this Report provides a list of the Tenements, including those under application.
(c) Native title and Aboriginal Tenements
All but one of the Tenements are within the external boundaries of native title claims or determinations. There are also areas or objects of Aboriginal heritage located on six (6) of the Tenements which were identified from the Heritage Searches (as noted in Part II of this Report).
(d) Third party interests
Royalties are payable over minerals produced from certain of the Tenements pursuant to the Tenement Acquisition Agreement between the Company and Baracus Pty Ltd (the material terms of which are summarised in Part III of this Report).
In addition, the Tenements overlap certain types of land categories that may affect access for mineral exploration and mining in Western Australia. Such interests are detailed in Part I of this Report.
5.
DESCRIPTION OF THE TENEMENTS
The Tenements comprise of four (4) prospecting Licences, two (2) applications for exploration licences and seven (7) exploration licences granted under the Mining Act 1978 (WA) ( Mining Act ). Part I of this Report provides a schedule of the Tenements. Sections 5.1 and 5.2 provide a description of the nature and key terms of these types of mining tenements.
5.1 Prospecting licence
(a) Application
A person may lodge an application for a prospecting licence in accordance with the Mining Act. The mining registrar or warden decides whether to grant an application for a prospecting licence. An application for a prospecting
5478-01/2662696_6
Tambourah Metals Ltd 24 June 2021
Page 4
licence (unless a reversion application) cannot be legally transferred and continues in the name of the applicant.
(b) Rights
The holder of a prospecting licence is entitled to enter upon land for the purposes of prospecting for minerals with employees and contractors, and such vehicles, machinery and equipment as may be necessary or expedient.
(c) Term
A prospecting licence has a term of 4 years. Where the prospecting licence was applied for and granted after 10 February 2006, the Minister may extend the term by 4 years and if retention status is granted (as discussed below), by a further term or terms of 4 years. Where a prospecting licence is transferred before a renewal application has been determined, the transferee is deemed to be the applicant.
(d) Retention status
The holder of a prospecting licence applied for and granted after 10 February 2006 may apply for approval of retention status for the prospecting licence. The Minister may approve the application where there is an identified mineral resource in or under the land the subject of the prospecting licence, but it is impractical to mine the resource for prescribed reasons. Where retention status is granted, the minimum expenditure requirements are reduced in the year of grant and cease in future years. However, the Minister has the right to impose a program of works or require the holder to apply for a mining lease. The holder of a prospecting licence applied for or granted before 10 February 2006 can apply for a retention licence, rather than retention status.
(e) Conditions
Prospecting licences are granted subject to various standard conditions including conditions relating to minimum expenditure, the payment of rent and observance of environmental protection and reporting requirements. These standard conditions are not detailed in this Report. Details of nonstandard conditions relating to the Tenements are listed in Part 1 of this Report. A failure to comply with these conditions or obtain an exemption from compliance may lead to forfeiture of the prospecting licence.
(f) Relinquishment
There is no requirement to relinquish any portion of the prospecting licence.
(g) Priority to apply for a mining lease
The holder of a prospecting licence has priority to apply for a mining lease over any of the land subject to the prospecting licence. An application for a mining lease must be made prior to the expiry of the prospecting licence. The prospecting licence remains in force until the application for the mining lease is determined and the holder of the prospecting licence at the time of the grant will be the holder of the mining lease granted over the relevant land.
5478-01/2662696_6
Tambourah Metals Ltd 24 June 2021

(h) Transfer
There is no restriction on transfer or other dealing in a prospecting licence.
5.2 Exploration Licence
(a) Rights
The holder of an exploration licence is entitled to enter the land for the purposes of exploration for minerals with employees and contractors and such vehicles, machinery and equipment as may be necessary or expedient.
(b) Term
An exploration licence has a term of 5 years from the date of grant. The Minister may extend the term by a further period of 5 years followed by a further period or periods of 2 years.
(c) Retention status
The holder of an exploration licence granted after 10 February 2006 may apply for approval of retention status for the exploration licence. The Minister may approve the application where there is an identified mineral resource in or under the land the subject of the exploration licence but it is impractical to mine the resource for prescribed reasons. Where retention status is granted, the minimum expenditure requirements are reduced in the year of grant and cease in future years. However, the Minister has the right to impose a programme of works or require the holder to apply for a mining lease.
(d) Conditions
Exploration licences are granted subject to various standard conditions, including conditions relating to minimum expenditure, the payment of prescribed rent and royalties and observance of environmental protection and reporting requirements. These standard conditions are not detailed in this Report. Details of non-standard conditions relating to the Tenements are listed in Part I of this Report. A failure to comply with these conditions or obtain an exemption from compliance may lead to forfeiture of the exploration licence.
(e) Relinquishment
The holder of an exploration licence applied for and granted after 10 February 2006 must relinquish not less than 40% of the blocks comprising the licence at the end of the fifth year. A failure to lodge the required partial surrender could render the tenement liable for forfeiture.
(f) Priority to apply for mining lease
The holder of an exploration licence has priority to apply for a mining lease over any of the land subject to the exploration licence. Any application for a mining lease must be made prior to the expiry of the exploration licence. The exploration licence remains in force until the application for the mining lease is determined.
5478-01/2662696_6

(g) Transfer
No legal or equitable interest in an exploration licence can be transferred or otherwise dealt with during the first year of its term without the prior written consent of the Minister. Thereafter, there is no restriction on transfer or other dealings.
6. ABORIGINAL HERITAGE
Aboriginal sites were identified from the Heritage Searches (as noted in Part II of this Report).
The presence of registered sites and other heritage places may impose restrictions on exploration, operations and further development. There may also be undiscovered or unreported sites that are not recorded on the register. All Aboriginal sites are protected by the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 (WA) ( WA Heritage Act ), whether or not they have previously been identified or registered (as detailed further below).
We are advised that Baracus Pty Ltd has entered into Noongar Alternative Heritage Agreements ( AHAs ) with the South West Aboriginal Land & Sea Council Aboriginal Corporation (ICN 3832) ( SWALSC ) for and on behalf of the Ballardong and Yued Agreement Groups in respect of E 70/5423 and E70/5411, the terms if which are typical for an agreement of this nature. Identical AHAs are also expected to be entered into with SWALSC for and on behalf of the Yued Agreement Group with respect to E70/5407 and E70/5408 prior to their grant.
We were advised that the AHAs are proposed to be assigned to the Company on or about the date that the Company is registered as the legal holder of the Tenements.
Under the AHAs, the Tenement holder is required to issue a notice in writing to SWALSC ( Activity Notice ) before undertaking physical works or operations on the respective Tenement. The Activity Notice must contain adequate information to assist SWALSC to make an assessment as to whether a survey is required in relation to a proposed activity, and if a survey is required, to provide information relevant to the conduct of that survey.
In accordance with the AHAs, the Tenement holder is required to issue SWALSC an Activity Notice in respect of all exploration activities on the respective Tenement. Following receipt of an Activity Notice, SWALSC may determine that a heritage survey may be required before the Tenement holder can conduct such activities. The results of any such survey may restrict the ability of the Tenement holder to conduct activities on part of the land the subject of the respective Tenement. Provided the Tenement holder complies with any recommendations in a survey report, it can rely on the report to demonstrate compliance with the WA Heritage Act.
Under the AHAs, the Tenement holder must provide 30 business days’ notice to SWALSC and consult with SWALSC before applying for any section 16 or 18 clearances under the WA Heritage Act.
We are not aware of any other Aboriginal heritage agreements that have been entered into in respect of the Tenements.
5478-01/2662696_6

6.1 Commonwealth legislation
The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Heritage Protection Act 1984 (Cth) ( Commonwealth Heritage Act ) is aimed at the preservation and protection of any Aboriginal areas and objects that may be located on the Tenements.
Under the Commonwealth Heritage Act, the Minister for Indigenous Australians may make interim or permanent declarations of preservation in relation to significant Aboriginal areas or objects, which have the potential to halt exploration activities. Compensation is payable by the Minister for Indigenous Australians to a person who is, or is likely to be, affected by a permanent declaration of preservation.
It is an offence to contravene a declaration made under the Commonwealth Heritage Act.
6.2 Western Australian legislation
Tenements located in Western Australia are granted subject to a condition requiring observance of the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 (WA) ( WA Heritage Act ).
The WA Heritage Act makes it an offence to alter or damage sacred ritual or ceremonial Aboriginal sites and areas of significance to Aboriginal persons (whether or not they are recorded on the register or otherwise known to the Register of Aboriginal Sites, DPLH or the Aboriginal Cultural Material Committee).
An Aboriginal site is defined under the WA Heritage Act to include any sacred, ritual or ceremonial site which is of importance and special significance to persons of Aboriginal descent. Aboriginal sites may be registered under the WA Heritage Act. However, there is no requirement for a site to be registered. The WA Heritage Act protects all registered and unregistered sites. Tenement holders customarily consult with Aboriginal traditional owners of the tenement land and undertake Aboriginal heritage surveys to ascertain whether any aboriginal sites exist and to avoid inadvertent disruption of these sites.
Aboriginal sites and other heritage places were identified from the Heritage Searches (as noted in Part I of this Report).
We note, however, that there may be unregistered or otherwise undiscovered Aboriginal heritage sites on the Tenements.
The consent of the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs (WA) is required where any use of land is likely to result in the excavation, alteration or damage to an Aboriginal site or any objects on or under that site. This requires submissions from the tenement holder to the DPLH on the proposed activities, the possible impact on the Aboriginal sites, any negotiations conducted with Aboriginal traditional owners of the lands and any measures that will be taken to minimise the interference.
7. NATIVE TITLE
7.1 General
The law of Australia recognises the existence of native title rights held by indigenous Australians over their traditional lands. Native title exists where an indigenous group has maintained a continuous traditional connection with the land, and those rights have not been extinguished.
5478-01/2662696_6
Tambourah Metals Ltd 24 June 2021
Page 8
Native title may be extinguished:
-
(a) in whole by the grant of an interest in land conferring “exclusive possession” such as a freehold interest in the land; or
-
(b) in part by the grant of an interest conferring “non-exclusive possession” including the grant of pastoral leases and mining leases, or the creation of certain reserves. In this case, the native title will co-exist with the other rights to the land.
The Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) ( NTA ):
-
(a) provides a process for indigenous people to claim native title rights and compensation;
-
(b) confirms the validity of past actions (including grants of land tenure) by the Commonwealth and State governments; and
-
(c) specifies the procedures which must be complied with to ensure that acts that may affect native title rights (such as the grant or renewal of a mining tenement) are valid.
The NTA has been adopted in Western Australia by the enactment of the Titles (Validation) and Native Title (Effect of Past Acts) Act 1995.
7.2
Native title claim process
Persons claiming to hold native title may lodge an application for determination of native title with the Federal Court. The application is then referred to the NNTT to assess whether the claim meets the registration requirements in the NTA, and if so, the native title claim will be entered on the register of native title claims ( RNTC ) maintained by the NNTT.
Native title claimants have certain procedural rights, including the rights to negotiation and compensation, in relation to the grant of mining tenements if their native title claim is registered at the time the State issues a notice of the proposed grant of the mining tenement ( Section 29 Notice ), or if their claim becomes registered within four months after the Section 29 Notice.
Once a claim is registered, a claimant must prove its claim in the Federal Court in order to have native title determined and the claim entered on the National Native Title Register ( NNTR ).
7.3 Grant of tenements and compliance with the NTA
The grant of any mining tenement after 23 December 1996 must comply with the applicable NTA procedures in order to be valid. The exception to this is where native title has never existed over the land covered by the tenement, or has been extinguished prior to the grant of the tenement.
The absence of a claim does not necessarily indicate that there is no native title over an area, as native title claims could be made in the future.
Unless it is clear that native title does not exist (such as where the land the subject of a tenement application is freehold land), the usual practice of the State is to comply with the NTA when granting a tenement. This ensures the grant will be valid if a court
5478-01/2662696_6
Tambourah Metals Ltd 24 June 2021
Page 9
subsequently determines that native title rights exist over the land subject to the tenement.
The procedural requirements in the NTA relating to the grant of a mining tenement (referred to as the “ Future Act ” procedures) include four alternatives:
-
(a) the right to negotiate, which is the primary Future Act procedure prescribed by the NTA;
-
(b) the expedited procedure, which may be used in relation to the grant of exploration and prospecting licences;
-
(c) an indigenous land use agreement; and
-
(d) the infrastructure process.
Future Act procedures are provided below.
7.4 Right to negotiate
The primary Future Act procedure prescribed by the NTA is the “right to negotiate”.
The right to negotiate involves a negotiation between the registered native title claimants, the tenement applicant and the State government, the aim of which is to agree the terms on which the tenement may be granted.
The applicant for the tenement is usually liable for any compensation that the parties agree to pay to the native title claimants. The parties may also agree on conditions that will apply to activities carried out on the tenement.
The initial negotiation period is six months from the date on which the State issues a Section 29 Notice.
If the parties cannot reach an agreement within the initial six month period, any party may refer the matter to arbitration before the NNTT, which then has six (6) months to determine whether the tenement can be granted and if so, on what conditions.
7.5
Expedited procedure
Where the grant of a tenement is unlikely to directly interfere with community or social activities or areas or sites of particular significance, or involve major disturbance to land or waters, the NTA permits the State to follow an expedited procedure for the grant of a tenement.
The State applies the expedited procedure to the grant of exploration and prospecting tenements.
Registered native title parties can lodge an objection to the use of the expedited procedure within the period of four months following the issue of the Section 29 Notice by the State ( Objection Period ).
If no objections are lodged or if the objections are withdrawn, the State may grant the tenement at the expiry of the Objection Period without undertaking a negotiation process.
If an objection is lodged, the NNTT must determine whether the grant of the tenement is an act attracting the Expedited Procedure. If the NNTT determines the expedited
5478-01/2662696_6
Tambourah Metals Ltd 24 June 2021
Page 10
procedure does not apply, the parties must follow the right to negotiate procedure or enter into an indigenous land use agreement.
The DMIRS currently has a policy of requiring applicants for prospecting licences and exploration licences to sign and send a Regional Standard Heritage Agreement ( RSHA ) to the registered native title claimant, or prove they have an existing RHSA or Alternative Heritage Agreement in place.
The RSHA provides a framework for the conduct of Aboriginal heritage surveys over the land the subject of a tenement prior to the conducting of ground-disturbing work and conditions that apply to activities carried out within the tenement.
If the registered native title claimant does not execute the RSHA within the Objection Period (and no objections are otherwise lodged), the tenement may still be granted at the expiry of the Objection Period. If the tenement applicant refuses or fails to execute or send the RSHA to the registered native title holder, the DMIRS will process the application under the right to negotiate procedure.
7.6 Indigenous land use agreement
The right to negotiate and expedited procedures do not have to be followed if an indigenous land use agreement ( ILUA ) has been registered with the NNTT.
An ILUA is a voluntary contractual arrangement negotiated with all registered native title claimants for a relevant area. The State and the applicant for the tenement are usually the other parties to the ILUA.
An ILUA must set out the terms on which the relevant mining tenement may be granted. An ILUA will also specify conditions on which activities may be carried out within the tenement. The applicant for a tenement is usually liable for any compensation that the parties agree to pay to the registered native title claimants in return for the grant of the tenement being approved. These obligations pass to a transferee of the tenement.
Once an ILUA is agreed and registered, it binds the whole native title claimant group and all holders of native title in the area (including future claimants), even though they may not be parties to it.
7.7
Infrastructure process
The right to negotiate and expedited procedures also do not apply for grants of tenements for the sole purpose of the construction of an infrastructure facility.
In Western Australia, the DMIRS applies the infrastructure process to most miscellaneous licences and general purpose leases, depending on their purpose. For these types of tenements, an alternative consultation process applies, and in the absence of an agreement between the native title claimants and the applicant, the matter can be referred to an independent person for determination.
7.8
Renewals
Renewals of mining tenements made after 23 December 1996 must comply with the Future Act provisions in order to be valid under the NTA, except where:
(a) the area to which the mining tenement applies is not extended;
5478-01/2662696_6
Tambourah Metals Ltd 24 June 2021
Page 11
-
(b) the term of the renewed mining tenement is not longer than the term of the earlier mining tenement; and
-
(c) the rights to be created are not greater than the rights conferred by the earlier mining tenement.
7.9 Native title claims and determinations affecting the Tenements
Our searches indicate that some of the Tenements are within the external boundaries of the native title claims and determinations as specified in Part II.
7.10 Indigenous land use agreements affecting the Tenements
Our searches indicate that some of the Tenements are within the area of the registered ILUA’s as specified in Part II.
8.
CROWN LAND
As set out in Part I of this Report, some land the subject of the Tenements overlaps Crown land. The Mining Act:
-
(a) prohibits the carrying out of prospecting, exploration or mining activities on Crown land that is less than 30 metres below the lowest part of the natural surface of the land and:
-
(i) for the time being under crop (or within 100 metres of that crop);
-
(ii) used as or situated within 100 metres of a yard, stockyard, garden, cultivated field, orchard vineyard, plantation, airstrip or airfield;
-
(iii) situated within 100 metres of any land that is an actual occupation and on which a house or other substantial building is erected;
-
(iv) the site of or situated within 100 metres of any cemetery or burial ground; or
-
(v) if the Crown land is a pastoral lease, the site of or situated within 400 metres of any water works, race, dam, well or bore not being an excavation previously made and used for purposes by a person other than the pastoral lessee,
without the written consent of the occupier, unless the warden by order otherwise directs.
-
(b) imposes restrictions on a tenement holder passing over Crown land referred to in section 8(a), including:
-
(i) taking all necessary steps to notify the occupier of any intention to pass over the Crown land;
-
(ii) the sole purpose for passing over the Crown land must be to gain access to other land not covered by section 8(a) to carry out prospecting, exploration or mining activities;
-
(iii) taking all necessary steps to prevent fire, damage to trees, damage to property or damage to livestock by the presence of dogs, the discharge of firearms, the use of vehicles or otherwise; and
5478-01/2662696_6
Tambourah Metals Ltd 24 June 2021
Page 12
-
(iv) causing as little inconvenience as possible to the occupier by keeping the number of occasions of passing over the Crown land to a minimum and complying with any reasonable request by the occupier as to the manner of passage.
-
(c) requires a tenement holder to compensate the occupier of Crown land:
-
(i) by making good any damage to any improvements or livestock caused by passing over Crown land referred to in section 8(a) or otherwise compensate the occupier for any such damage not made good; and
-
(ii) in respect of land under cultivation, for any substantial loss of earnings suffered by the occupier caused by passing over Crown land referred to in section 8(a).
The warden may not give the order referred to in section 8(a) that dispenses with the occupier’s consent in respect of Crown land covered by section 8(a)(iii). In respect of other areas of Crown land covered by the prohibition in section 8(a), the warden may not make such an order unless he is satisfied that the land is genuinely required for mining purposes and that compensation in accordance with the Mining Act for all loss or damage suffered or likely to be suffered by the occupier has been agreed between the occupier and the tenement holder or assessed by the warden under the Mining Act.
Although the Company will be able to undertake its proposed activities on those parts of the Tenements not covered by the prohibitions and pass over those parts of the Tenements to which the restrictions do not apply immediately upon listing on ASX, the Company should consider entering into access and compensation agreements with the occupiers of the Crown land upon commencement of those activities in the event further activities are required on other areas of the Tenements which are subject to prohibitions or restrictions.
9.
FLORA AND FAUNA RESERVES
As set out in Part I to this Report certain Tenements overlap with flora and fauna reserves.
State Government policy provides that mining should not occur on national parks, nature reserves, conservation parks or state forests and, where possible, a tenement applicant is encouraged to excise the conservation area from the area of the application.
If a conservation area is not excised, the DMIRS will refer the application to the Department of Environment Regulation ( DER ) for comment and or consent. Under the Mining Act, mineral exploration on national parks, class “A” nature reserves and certain conservation parks requires the concurrence of the Minister for Environment. In relation to nature reserves other than class “A” reserves, and certain conservation parks, the Minister for the Environment and Conservation is required to give his recommendation in relation to the grant.
Where the Minister for the Environment and Conservation concurs with the grant or provides recommendations in relation to the grant, additional conditions and endorsements are generally placed on the tenement. These conditions are designed to minimise the impacts on the environment and to draw the tenement holders attention to the requirements under other environmental protection legislation.
5478-01/2662696_6
Tambourah Metals Ltd 24 June 2021
Page 13
It is noted that class “A” nature reserves attract restrictions on mining activities within the conservation reserves, including:
-
(a) a mining lease or a general purpose lease cannot be granted over a class A reserve without the consent of both Houses of Parliament; and
-
(a) mining can only be commenced in a class A reserve with the approval of the Minister for Mines and Petroleum and the Minister for Environment and Conservation.
10.
PASTORAL LEASES
As set out in Part I of this Report, certain tenements overlap with pastoral leases. The Mining Act:
-
(a) prohibits the carrying out of mining activities on or near certain improvements and other features (such as livestock and crops) on Crown land (which includes a pastoral lease) without the consent of the lessee;
-
(b) imposes certain restrictions on a mining tenement holder passing through Crown land, including requiring that all necessary steps are taken to notify the occupier of any intention to pass over the Crown land and that all necessary steps are taken to prevent damage to improvements and livestock; and
-
(c) provides that the holder of a mining tenement must pay compensation to an occupier of Crown land (ie the pastoral lessee) in certain circumstances, in particular to make good any damage to improvements, and for any loss suffered by the occupier from that damage or for any substantial loss of earnings suffered by the occupier as a result of, or arising from, any exploration or mining activities, including the passing and re-passing over any land.
Upon commencing mining operations on any of the Tenements, the Company should consider entering into a compensation and access agreement with the pastoral lease holders to ensure the requirements of the Mining Act are satisfied and to avoid any disputes arising. In the absence of agreement, the Warden’s Court determines compensation payable.
The DMIRS imposes standard conditions on mining tenements that overlay pastoral leases. It appears the Tenements incorporate the standard conditions.
11. PRIVATE LAND
11.1 General
Generally and subject to certain exceptions and limitations, private land which is not already subject to a mining tenement is considered open for mining under the Mining Act, and a mining tenement may be issued in relation to such land, entitling the holder to the rights granted thereby. However, a tenement may not be granted in respect of private land which is:
-
(a) in bona fide and regular use as a yard, stockyard, garden, orchard, vineyard, plant nursery or plantation or is land under cultivation or within 100m of that site;
-
(b) the site of a cemetery or burial ground or within 100 metres of that site;
5478-01/2662696_6
Tambourah Metals Ltd 24 June 2021
Page 14
-
(c) the site of a dam, bore, well or spring or within 100 metres of that site;
-
(d) on which there is erected a substantial improvement or within 100 metres of that improvement; or
-
(e) a parcel of land with an area of 2,000 square metres or less,
unless the written consent of the private landholder and any other occupier is obtained or the tenement is only granted in respect of the land below 30 metres from the surface of the private land. If the tenement is only granted in respect of the land below 30 metres from the surface of the private land, the tenement holder can apply to the Minister for the land between the surface and 30 metres depth to be included in the tenement, which application may be granted provided that the private landowner has consented to such land being included in the tenement.
Certain Tenements overlap with private land as detailed at Part II.
The owners and occupiers of any land where mining takes place are entitled according to their respective interests to compensation for all loss and damage suffered or likely to be suffered by them resulting or arising from the mining, whether or not lawfully carried out. The tenement holder may not commence mining on the surface or within a depth of 30 metres from the surface until compensation has been agreed with the private landowner or paid in accordance with the Mining Act. Compensation may be determined by agreement between the tenement holder and private landowner or occupier, or by the warden.
The owner and any other occupier may be entitled to compensation for:
-
(a) deprivation of the possession or use of the natural surface or any part of the land;
-
(b) damage to the land or any part of the land;
-
(c) severance of the land or any part of the land from other land of, or used by, the owner or occupier;
-
(d) loss or restriction of a right of way or other easement or right;
-
(e) loss of, or damage to, improvements;
-
(f) social disruption;
-
(g) in the case of private land that is land under cultivation, any substantial loss of earnings, delay, loss of time, reasonable legal or other costs of negotiation, disruption to agricultural activities, disturbance of the balance of the agricultural holding, the failure on the part of a person concerned in the mining to observe the same laws or requirements in relation to that land as regards the spread of weeds, pests, disease, fire or erosion, or as to soil conservation practices, as are observed by the owner or occupier of that land; and
-
(h) any reasonable expenses properly arising from the need to reduce or control the damage resulting or arising from the mining.

11.2 Private land alienated from the Crown prior to 1 January 1899
Most grants of freehold which were made prior to 1899 in Western Australian included the grant of minerals other than gold, silver and precious minerals, which were reserved to the Crown. This land is commonly referred to as ‘minerals to owner’ land as the landowner owns all other minerals and has the right to deal with those minerals as it sees fit.
As detailed at Part II of the report, our Tengraph Searches have confirmed that tenements E 70/5411, E 70/5407, E 70/5408 and E 70/5423 encroach private land, with varying degrees of overlap. Without conducting the required Landgate Searches, we cannot confirm if the land is ‘minerals to owner’ land.
Due to the large number of private land parcels identified, and the costs and time associated with undertaking detailed land searches to determine whether any of the private land that the Tenements encroach upon is ‘minerals to owner’ land, we were instructed not to undertake such searches.
We recommend that as the Company defines exploitation targets on the effected Tenements and prior to commencing ground disturbing activities, the Company should obtain the relevant searches to confirm whether the relevant private land parcels are ‘minerals to owner’ and whether it is necessary to obtain consent and/or agreement in relation to access and compensation from the owner of such land.
Approvals for mining gold, silver and precious metals on pre-1899 land have generally been granted by Local Government as an Extractive Industry Licence (“EIL”; Local Government Act 1995) or Development Approval (“DA”; Planning and Development Act 2005). A miner wishing to mine minerals other than the gold, silver and precious metals located on pre-1899 land will need to negotiate an access and compensation agreement with the owner of the land (and owner of the minerals) and obtain permission either through a EIL or DA. Any significant proposal may require assessment by the Environment Protection Authority and any mining activity will be subject to the Mines Safety and Inspection Act 1994.
12. ENCROACHMENTS
Where a live tenement is encroached upon by an application, the application as granted will be for a tenement reduced by that amount of land which falls under the live tenement licence.
The Tenements set out below are currently held by Baracus Pty Ltd and are encroached upon by other third-party tenement applications applied for after the date of grant for the existing live tenements. Upon grant of any of the third-party applications, the existing live Tenements will remain in full force and effect.

13. ROYALTIES
Under the Tenement Sale Agreement, following settlement, the Company must pay Baracus Pty Ltd a royalty of 2% of the net smelter return on all minerals, mineral products and concentrates, produced and sold from the Tenements (excluding the Julimar North Project Tenements/applications), by the Company.
Refer to section 9 of the Prospectus and Pat III below for a summary of the material terms and conditions of the agreements under which these royalties were granted.
14.
PETROLEUM EXPLORATION PERMITS
Tenement E 70/5407 is overlapped, by a petroleum exploration permit ( PEP ) granted under the Petroleum and Geothermal Energy Resources Act 1967 (WA) ( Petroleum Act ). Specifically PEP 469 overlaps E 70/5407 by 62.37%. The PEP is held by an unrelated third party.
5478-01/2662696_6
Tambourah Metals Ltd 24 June 2021
Page 17
Under the Mining Act, a mining tenement can coexist with a petroleum exploration permit or a petroleum pipeline licence.
To the extent of the encroachment of PEP 469 and E 70/5407, each respective holder has the right to exercise its statutory rights. The Mining Act provides that in the event that a dispute arises between the holder of the relevant PEP ( PEP Holder ) and the Company concerning any operations carried out or proposed to be carried out by the Company or the PEP Holder, the disputed matter will be referred to a warden of the mines as appointed under the Mining Act ( Warden ). The Warden, as soon as practicable after such reference, shall inquire into the dispute and provide a report to the Minister.
Upon receipt of the Warden’s report, the Minister may make such order and give such directions to the Company or PEP Holder or to both of them as in the public interest and in the circumstances of the case may seem to him to be just and equitable.
In the event that there is a dispute arising as a result of an encroachment by the petroleum permit, we are unable to comment on the prospective outcome of any inquiry by the Warden or what directions or orders the Minister may or may not make.
15. FORFEITURE RISK
A number of tenements, as set out below, have tenement years that expire within 12 months from the date of this Report.
| Tenement | Relevant Tenement Year end |
Rent Amount due by tenement year end |
Expenditure Amount due by tenement year end |
|---|---|---|---|
| P 45/2868-I Tambourah Project |
03.12.2021 | $600.00 | $8,000.00 |
| P 45/2869-I Tambourah Project |
03.12.2021 | $600.00 | $8,000.00 |

03.12.2021 | $312.00 | $4,160.00 |
| E 45/4597 Tambourah Project |
15.01.2022 | $1,625.00 | $20,000.00 |
E45/4597 expires on 15.01.2022 but is capable of being extended. It is in the power of the Minister to extend the term of an exploration licence by five years, then by successive terms of two years provided that prescribed grounds for extension exist. Prescribed grounds comprise the following:
5478-01/2662696_6
Tambourah Metals Ltd 24 June 2021
Page 18
-
(a) an exploration program could not be undertaken or completed or was otherwise restricted upon the basis of difficulties or delays:
-
(i) of a legal nature;
-
(ii) flowing from administrative, political, environmental or other requirements of government or associated authorities;
-
(iii) arising from the conduct of an Aboriginal heritage survey;
-
(iv) obtaining the necessary consents or approvals for exploration activities;
-
(b) work already undertaken on the licence justifies further exploration; or
-
(c) if the relevant exploration licence has retention status, the grounds for continuation of the status subsist.
With respect to P 45/2868-I to P 45/2871-I, the Company has advised that prior to expiry, it intends to apply for a mining lease over the ground comprising these tenements.
Any person may lodge an application for a mining lease, although a holder of a prospecting licence, exploration licence or retention licence over the relevant area has priority. The Minister decides whether to grant an application for a mining lease.
The application must be accompanied by either a mining proposal or a statement outlining mining intentions and a “mineralisation report” indicating there is significant mineralisation in the area over which a mining lease is sought. A mining lease accompanied by a “mineralisation report” will only be approved where the Director, Geological Survey considers that there is a reasonable prospect that the mineralisation identified will result in a mining operation.

Tengraph interests
| Land Type | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Reserves / Unallocated Crown Land |
Under section 41 of the Land Administration Act 1997 (LAA) the Minister may set aside Crown lands by Ministerial Order in the public interest. Every such reservation has its description and designated purpose registered on a Crown Land Title (CLT) and is depicted on an authenticated map held by Landgate. Reservation action is normally initiated by the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage following community or Government request, land planning decisions, or as a result of the subdivision of land. The Land Act 1933 provided for State reserves to be classified as Class A, B or C. There is no provision in the LAA to create new Class B reserves and there is no longer reference to Class C reserves. Class A affords the greatest degree of protection for reserved lands, requiring approval of Parliament to amend the reserve’s purpose or area, or to cancel the reservation. The A classification is used solely to protect areas of high conservation or high community value. Class B reserves continue yet are no longer created under the LAA. The Minister for Lands may deal with Class B reserved lands as normal reserves, provided that, should the reservation be cancelled, a special report is made to both Houses of Parliament within 14 days from the cancellation or within 14 days after the commencement of the next session. Once created, a reserve is usually placed under the care, control and management of a State government department, local government or incorporated community group by way of a Management Order registered against the relevant CLT. A Management Order under the LAA does not convey ownership of the land – only as much control as is essential for the land’s management.

| 4. | Groundwater Area (GWA) |
Groundwater is a reserve of water beneath the earth's surface in pores and crevices of rocks and soil. Recharge of groundwater aquifers is slow and can take many years. Groundwater often supports wetland and stream ecosystems. GWAs are proclaimed under the Rights in Water and Irrigation Act, 1914. There are 45 proclaimed GWAs in Western Australia where licences are required to construct or alter a well and to take groundwater. The Department of Water and Environmental Regulation is responsible for managing proclaimed areas under the Act.

| 6. | Surface Water Area (SWA) |
The Rights in Water and Irrigation Act 1914 provides the Governor of Western Australia the power to proclaim, or prescribe through regulation, a Surface Water Area. A Surface Water Area is proclaimed for the purposes of regulating the taking of water from watercourses and wetlands. An area is proclaimed, or prescribed through regulations, where there is a need for systematic management of the use of water. The proclamation is made on the recommendation of the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation and must first be tabled before both Houses of Parliament. Proclaiming or prescribing an area has the effect of allowing the use of water for commercial activity under a licence. Where an area has been proclaimed, the provisions of Division 1B of Part III of the Act apply to surface water in that area. The following Tenements overlap with the following SWAs: • P 45/2868-I overlaps with SWA 30 (192.1497 HA) (100%) • P 45/2869-I overlaps with SWA 30 (200.3036 HA) (100%) • P 45/2870-I overlaps with SWA 30 (200.0033 HA) (100%) • P 45/2871-I overlaps with SWA 30 (103.9323 HA) (100%) • E 45/4597 overlaps with SWA 30 (764.24 HA) (100%) • E 08/2889-I overlaps with SWA 30 (36238.571 HA) (100%) • E 08/3053 overlaps with SWA 30 (1888.7321 HA) (100%) • E 70/5411 overlaps with SWA 1 (12900.1777 HA) (100%) • E 70/5407 overlaps with SWA 18 (21.4422 HA) (0.11%), SWA 25 (249.2853 HA) (1.31%) & SWA 34 (338.2565 HA) (1.77%) • E70/5408 overlaps with SWA 1 (0.813 HA) (0.01%) and SWA 2 (3906.2985) (24.6%) • E 70/5423 overlaps with SWA 1 (2922.2843 HA) (100%) |

| 12. | Dieback Risk Zone (DRZ) |
Dieback is a fungal disease which kills a wide variety of plants in moist parts of Western Australia. The disease is particularly well known for its serious effect on Jarrah forests. However, it seriously affects many plants in a wide range of environments. Mineral exploration, which is mostly a short-term, low-impact, land assessment activity, should not cause long-term detrimental effects. However, without taking the necessary care, exploration activities can spread infection into areas of native vegetation which would not otherwise be contaminated. Within TENGRAPH® there is only one dieback risk zone. It is defined as all land that receives more than 450mm of rain per year and has been captured based on the nearest map sheet boundary. It is also broken down into smaller parts for the purpose of minimising data loading and enabling quicker refresh rates. The following tenements overlap with DRZs: • E 70/5411 (4687.2291 HA) (36.33%) • E 70/5407 (17689.7873 HA) (92.67%) and (1399.5143 HA) (7.33%) • E 70/5408 (2994.051 HA) (18.85%) • E 70/5423 (2922.2843 HA) (100%) |
| 13. | WA Heritage Sites (HWA) |
The State Register of Heritage Places is a list of places that have heritage value and includes buildings, structures, gardens, cemeteries, landscapes and archaeological sites. These Heritage Places are given legal protection under the Heritage of Western Australia Act 1990. Entry in the State Register recognises a place’s value and importance to Western Australia and helps ensure that it is conserved into the future. These sites are administered by the Heritage Council of WA with advice from the National Trust and local councils. The following tenements overlap with HWAs: • E 70/5411 overlaps with HWA 02968 (31.1237 HA) (0.24%) • E 70/5423 overlaps with HWA 01843 (8.0861 HA) (0.28%) |

| 14. | Waterways Management Authority (WMA) |
Waterways Management Authority areas are proclaimed under the Waterways Conservation Act 1976 and the Water and Rivers Commission Act 1995. Management areas are declared by the Governor in council, on the recommendation of the EPA. These Acts provide the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions with broad management and conservation powers in relation to these proclaimed management areas. Management Areas currently exist for the Avon River, Peel Inlet, Leschenault, Albany, Wilson Inlet, Geographe Catchment and Cockburn Sound. The areas generally consist of the waterway and associated land but in some cases may include catchment. The following tenements overlap with WMAs: • E 70/5411 overlaps with the Avon River Management Area (12843.441 HA) (99.56%) • E 70/5408 overlaps with the Avon River Management Area (25.3587 HA) (0.16%) • E 70/5423 overlaps with the Avon River Management Area (2922.2843 HA) (100%) |
| 15. | Wellhead Protection Zones (WPZ) |
As part of Public Drinking Water Source Areas (PDWSA) and in addition to priority classification areas, wellhead protection zones (WPZ) and reservoir protection zones (RPZ) are defined to protect the drinking water source from contamination in the immediate vicinity of production wells and reservoirs. Statutes under the Country Areas Water Supply Act, 1947 (CAWS Act), the Metropolitan Drinking Water Supply, Sewerage and Drainage Act, 1909 (MWSSD Act) and the Planning and Development Act (2005) provide for defined land uses and activities within these zones that are prohibited, restricted or subject to agency conditions so that contamination of the water source is prevented. Special conditions, such as restrictions on storage and use of chemicals, may be applied within these zones. WPZ are usually circular, with a radius of 500 metres in P1 areas and 300 metres in P2 and P3 areas. WPZ do not extend outside PDWSA boundaries. RPZ consist of a 2 kilometre buffer area around the top water level of storage reservoirs and include the reservoir itself. A reduced buffer area may be applied where the reservoir is designed only for short-term storage of collected water before transfer to a main storage reservoir, e.g. Pipehead or pump-back dams. Reservoir protection zones are normally only designated over Crown land and generally prohibit public access to prevent contamination (physical, chemical and biological) of the source. Reservoir protection zones do not extend outside PDWSA boundaries, (e.g. downstream of dam wall). Tenement E 70/5411 overlaps with WPZ 1040 (28.2618 HA) (0.22%) |
| 16. | ANCA Wetlands (AW) and Geomorphic Wetlands (GW) |
(ANCA = Australian Nature Conservation Authority, now DEE = Department of the Environment and Energy) Directory of Important Wetlands of National significance. The Directory provides a substantial knowledge base of what defines wetlands, their variety, and the many plants and animals that depend on them. Western Australia has 120 nationally important wetlands and wetland systems covering more than 2.5 million hectares. The majority of these sites are in the South West. Most of WA's nationally and internationally significant wetlands are in existing or proposed conservation reserves and are managed by the Department. of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions. Tenement E 70/5407 overlaps with an AW (116.7926 HA) (0.61%) Geomorphic classification of wetlands was first developed for application in the Darling System, by Semeniuk (1987) and modified to be applied globally by Semeniuk and Semeniuk (1995). It has proven to be particularly effective in differentiating a number of wetland types on the Swan Coastal Plain. Most wetlands have been evaluated with respect to management objectives, with new preliminary management categories ranging from conservation wetlands, through to resource enhancement wetlands, to sustainable use and multiple use wetlands. |

ANNEXURE C – INDEPENDENT LIMITED ASSURANCE REPORT
103
5478-01/2669372_13
24 June 2021
The Directors Tambourah Metals Ltd Suite 1 77 Hay Street SUBIACO WA 6008
Dear Board of Directors
Independent Limited Assurance Report on Tambourah Metals Ltd Historical and Pro Forma Financial Information
We have been engaged by Tambourah Metals Ltd (“the Company”) to prepare this Independent Limited Assurance Report (“Report”) in relation to certain financial information of the Company for inclusion in the Prospectus. The Prospectus is issued for the purposes of raising a minimum of $5,000,000 (before costs) via the issue of 25,000,000 shares at an issue price of $0.20 per share with the ability to accept oversubscriptions of up to a further 15,000,000 shares at an issue price at $0.20 per share to raise a further $3,000,000.
Expressions and terms defined in the Prospectus have the same meaning in this Report. This Report has been prepared for inclusion in the Prospectus. We disclaim any assumption of responsibility for any reliance on this Report or on the Financial Information to which it relates for any purpose other than that for which it was prepared.
Scope
You have requested Bentleys to perform a limited assurance engagement in relation to the historical and pro forma financial information described below and disclosed in the Prospectus.
The historical and pro forma financial information is presented in the Prospectus in an abbreviated form insofar as it does not include all of the presentation and disclosures required by Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements applicable to general purpose financial reports prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act.
You have requested Bentleys to review the following historical financial information (together the “Historical Financial Information”) of the Company included in the Prospectus:
Independent Limited Assurance Report Tambourah Metals Limited
==> picture [66 x 33] intentionally omitted <==
-
The audited historical Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income for the period ended 31 December 2020;
-
The audited historical Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 2020; and
-
The audited historical Statement of Cash Flows for the period ended 31 December 2020,
The Historical Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the stated basis of preparation, being the recognition and measurement principals contained in Australian Accounting Standards and the Company’s adopted accounting policies. The Historical Financial Information of the Company has been extracted from the financial report for the period from incorporation to 31 December 2020. The financial report was audited by Bentleys in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Bentleys have issued an unqualified audit opinion with material uncertainty related to going concern paragraph.
Pro forma financial information
You have requested Bentleys to review the pro forma historical Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 2020 referred to as “the pro forma financial information.”
The pro forma financial information has been derived from the historical financial information of the Company, after adjusting for the effects of the subsequent events and pro forma adjustments described in Note 2 of Section 6.7 of the Prospectus. The stated basis of preparation is the recognition and measurement principles contained in Australian Accounting Standards applied to the historical financial information and the events or transactions to which the pro forma adjustments relate, as described in Note 2 of Section 6.7 of the Prospectus, as if those events or transactions had occurred as at the date of the historical financial information. Due to its nature, the pro forma financial information does not represent the Company’s actual or prospective financial position or financial performance.
Directors’ Responsibility
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the historical financial information and pro forma financial information, including the selection and determination of pro forma adjustments made to the historical financial information and included in the pro forma financial information. This includes responsibility for such internal controls as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of historical financial information and pro forma financial information that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Our Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express limited assurance conclusions on the historical financial information and pro forma financial information based on the procedures performed and the evidence we have obtained. We have conducted our engagement in accordance with the Standard on Assurance Engagement ASAE 3450 Assurance Engagements involving Corporate Fundraisings and / or Prospective Financial Information .
C O N F I D E N T I A L

Independent Limited Assurance Report Tambourah Metals Limited
==> picture [66 x 33] intentionally omitted <==
Our review procedures consisted of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review engagement is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain reasonable assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Our engagement did not involve updating or re-issuing any previously issued audit or review report on any financial information used as a source of the financial information.
Conclusions
Historical Financial Information
Based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the historical financial information for the Company comprising:
-
The historical Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income for the period ended 31 December 2020;
-
The historical Statement of Cash Flows for the period ended 31 December 2020; and
-
The historical Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 2020;
is not presented fairly in all material respects, in accordance with the stated basis of preparation as described in Section 6.2 of the Prospectus.
Pro Forma Financial Information
Based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the pro forma financial information comprising the Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 2020 is not presented fairly in all material respects, in accordance with the stated basis of preparation as described in Section 6.2 of the Prospectus.
Restriction on Use
Without modifying our conclusions, we draw attention to Section 6.1 of the Prospectus, which describes the purpose of the financial information, being for inclusion in the Prospectus. As a result, the financial information may not be suitable for use for another purpose.
Consent
Bentleys has consented to the inclusion of this Independent Limited Assurance Report in this Prospectus in the form and context in which it is so included (and at the date hereof, this consent has not been withdrawn), but has not authorised the issue of the Prospectus. Accordingly, Bentleys makes no representation or warranties as to the completeness and accuracy of any information contained in this Prospectus, and takes no responsibility for, any other documents or material or statements in, or omissions from, this Prospectus.
