Applications for Securities offered pursuant to this Prospectus can only be made by an original Entitlement and Acceptance Form or Shortfall Application Form.
This Prospectus is a transaction specific prospectus for an offer of continuously quoted securities (as defined in the Corporations Act) and has been prepared in accordance with section 713 of the Corporations Act. It does not contain the same level of disclosure as an initial public offering prospectus and is only required to contain information in relation to the effect of the issue of securities on a company and the rights attaching to the securities. It is not necessary to include general information in relation to all of the assets and liabilities, financial position, profits and losses or prospects of the issuing company.
Representations contained in this Prospectus are made taking into account that the Company is a disclosing entity for the purposes of the Corporations Act and certain matters are publicly available information or may reasonably be expected to be known to investors and professional advisers whom prospective investors may consult.
No Investment Advice
The information contained in this Prospectus is not financial product advice or investment advice and does not take into account your financial or investment objectives, financial situation or particular needs (including financial or taxation issues). You should seek professional advice from your accountant, financial adviser, stockbroker, lawyer or other professional adviser before deciding to subscribe for Securities under this Prospectus to determine whether it meets your objectives, financial situation and needs.
Forward - looking statements
This Prospectus contains forward-looking 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 forwardlooking 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 5.
Overseas shareholders
This Offer does not, and is not intended to, constitute an offer in any place or jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer or to issue this Prospectus.
It is not practicable for the Company to comply with the securities laws of overseas jurisdictions having regard to the number of overseas Shareholders, the number and value of Shares these Shareholders would be offered and the cost of complying with regulatory requirements in each relevant jurisdiction. Accordingly, the Offer is not being extended and Securities will not be issued to Shareholders with a registered address which is outside Australia, New Zealand, European Union (excluding Austria), United Kingdom, Switzerland or Singapore.
For further information on overseas Shareholders please refer to Section 2.10.
Continuous disclosure obligations
The Company is a “disclosing entity” (as defined in section 111AC of the Corporations Act) for the purposes of section 713 of the Corporations Act and, as such, is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations. Specifically, like all listed companies, the Company is 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 Securities.
This Prospectus is intended to be read in conjunction with the publicly available information in relation to the Company which has been notified to ASX and does not include all of the information that would be included in a prospectus for an initial public offering of securities in an entity that is not already listed on a stock exchange. Investors should therefore have regard to the other publicly available information in relation to the Company before making a decision whether or not to invest.
Having taken such precautions and having made such enquires as are reasonable, the Company believes that it has complied with the general and specific requirements of ASX as applicable from time to time throughout the three months before the issue of this Prospectus which required the Company to notify ASX of information about specified events or matters as they arise for the purpose of ASX making that information available to the stock market conducted by ASX.
Please refer to Section 6.2 for further details.

1.5 Details of Substantial Holders
Based on the Company’s internal records as at the date of this Prospectus, those persons which (together with their associates) have a relevant interest in 5% or more of the Shares on issue are set out below:
| SHAREHOLDER | SHARES | % |
|---|---|---|
| BNP Paribas Nominees Pty Ltd | 176,303,108 | 13.74 |
| Citicorp Nominees Pty Ltd | 74,835,248 | 5.83 |
| Rory Luff | 68,001,181 | 5.30 |
In the event all Entitlements are accepted there will be no change to the substantial holders on completion of the Offer.
1.6 Effect on Control
Based on current shareholding and Entitlements of Shareholders (including substantial Shareholders) as at the date of this Prospectus, regardless of the amount raised under the Offer, no Shareholder will increase their holding, to an amount in excess of 19.9% through applying for their Entitlements.
Further as set out in Section 2.7, on the basis of the allocation policy, no person will acquire, through participation in the Shortfall Offer a holding of Shares of, or increase their holding to, an amount in excess of 19.9% of all the Shares on issue on completion of the Offer.
There will be no change to any Shareholder’s voting power as a result of the issue of the New Options. Where New Options are exercised into Shares, the voting power of the Shareholders who exercise the New Options will increase. The likelihood of New Options being exercised is dependent on the Price of Shares from time to time until the New Options expire.
7
1.7 Potential dilution on non-participating Shareholders
In addition to potential control impacts set out in Section 1.8, Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Offer, their holdings are likely to be diluted by approximately 25% (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Prospectus).
No immediate dilution will occur as a result of the new issue of New Options under this Prospectus. However, the subsequent exercise of any or all of the New Options will result in dilution. Assuming all New Options offered under this Prospectus are issued and exercised into Shares, Shareholders who do not participate in the Offer, are likely to be diluted by an aggregate of approximately 25% (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of the Prospectus).
For illustrative purposes, the table below shows how the dilution may impact the holdings of Shareholders:
| HOLDER | HOLDING AS AT RECORD DATE |
% AT RECORD DATE |
ENTITLEMENTS UNDER THE OFFER |
HOLDINGS IF OFFER NOT TAKEN UP |
% POST OFFER |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shareholder 1 | 10,000,000 | 0.78% | 3,333,333 | 10,000,000 | 0.58% |
| Shareholder 2 | 5,000,000 | 0.39% | 1,666,667 | 5,000,000 | 0.29% |
| Shareholder 3 | 1,500,000 | 0.12% | 500,000 | 1,500,000 | 0.09% |
| Shareholder 4 | 400,000 | 0.03% | 133,333 | 400,000 | 0.02% |
| Shareholder 5 | 50,000 | 0.00% | 16,667 | 50,000 | 0.00% |
| Total | 1,283,062,044 | 427,687,348 | 1,710,749,392 |
Notes:
-
The table is based on a share capital of 1,283,062,044 Shares as at the date of the Prospectus and assumes no Options currently on issue or other Shares are issued including New Options are exercised or Performance Rights are converted.
-
The dilutionary effect shown in the table is the maximum percentage on the assumption that those Entitlements not accepted by Eligible Shareholders are placed under the Shortfall Offer. In the event all Entitlements are not accepted and some or all of the resulting Shortfall was not subsequently placed, the dilution effect for each Shareholder not accepting their Entitlement would be a lesser percentage.

N/A |
The Offer is non-renounceable. Accordingly, a Shareholder may not sell or transfer all or part of their Entitlement.
2.4 Payment options
- (a) By BPAY®
For payment by BPAY®, please follow the instructions on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. You can only make a payment via BPAY® if you are the holder of an account with an Australian financial institution that supports BPAY® transactions. Please note that should you choose to pay by BPAY®:
(i) you do not need to submit the Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to have made the declarations on that Entitlement and Acceptance Form;
10
-
(ii) if you do not pay for your Entitlement in full, you are deemed to have taken up your Entitlement in respect of such whole number of Shares which is covered in full by your Application monies; and
-
(iii) if you pay more than is required to subscribe for your Entitlement, you will be taken to have applied for Shortfall Securities (if any) under the Shortfall Offer, to the extent of the excess.
You should be aware that your own financial institution may implement earlier cut-off times with regard to electronic payment, and you should therefore take this into consideration when making payment. It is your responsibility to ensure that funds submitted through BPAY® are received by 5:00 (WST) on the Closing Date. The Company shall not be responsible for any delay in the receipt of the BPAY® payment.
Guidance where you have more than one CRN (Shareholding of Shares)
If you have more than one shareholding of Shares and consequently receive more than one Entitlement and Acceptance Form, when taking up your Entitlement in respect of one of those Shareholdings only use the CRN specific to that Shareholding as set out in the applicable Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Do not use the same CRN for more than one of your Shareholdings . This can result in your Application monies being applied to your Entitlement in respect of only one of your Shareholdings (with the result that any Application in respect of your remaining Shareholdings will not be valid).
(b) By Electronic Funds Transfer (overseas applicants)
For payment by Electronic Funds Transfer ( EFT ) for overseas Eligible Shareholders, please follow the instructions on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. You can only make a payment via EFT if you are the holder of an account that supports EFT transactions to an Australian bank account. Please note that should you choose to pay by EFT:
-
(i) you do not need to submit the Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to have made the declarations on that Entitlement and Acceptance Form;
-
(iv) if you do not pay for your Entitlement in full, you are deemed to have taken up your Entitlement in respect of such whole number of Shares which is covered in full by your Application monies; and
-
(v) if you pay more than is required to subscribe for your Entitlement, you will be taken to have applied for Shortfall Securities (if any) under the Shortfall Offer, to the extent of the excess.
(c) By Cheque
Payment by cheque or cash will not be accepted.
2.5 Implications of an acceptance
Returning a completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form or paying any Application monies by BPAY® or EFT will be taken to constitute a representation by you that:
-
(a) you have received a copy of this Prospectus and the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form, and read them both in their entirety;
-
(b) you acknowledge that once the Entitlement and Acceptance Form is returned, or a BPAY® or EFT payment instruction is given in relation to any Application monies, the application may not be varied or withdrawn except as required by law.
2.6 Minimum subscription
There is no minimum subscription.
11
2.7 Shortfall Offer
Any Entitlement not taken up pursuant to the Offer will form the Shortfall Offer ( Shortfall Securities ). The Shortfall Offer is a separate offer made pursuant to this Prospectus and will remain open for up to three months following the Closing Date. The issue price for each Share to be issued under the Shortfall Offer shall be $0.003 being the price at which Shares have been offered under the Offer. If the Consolidation is approved by Shareholders, the terms of the Shortfall, including the number of Shares and the issue price, will be adjusted accordingly to reflect the Consolidation.
If you do not wish to take up any part of your Entitlement you are not required to take any action. That part of your Entitlement not taken up will form part of the Shortfall Offer and potentially be allocated to other Eligible Shareholders or other third parties as part of the Shortfall Offer. The Shortfall Offer will only be available where there is a Shortfall between applications received from Eligible Shareholders and the number of Shares proposed to be issued under the Offer.
Eligible Shareholders who wish to subscribe for Securities above their Entitlement are invited to apply for Shortfall Securities under the Shortfall Offer by completing the appropriate section on their Entitlement and Acceptance Form or by making payment for such Shortfall Securities in accordance with Sections 2.4.
The Board presently intends to allocate Shortfall Securities as follows:
-
(a) to Eligible Shareholders who apply for an excess of their full Entitlement, so long as the issue of Shortfall Securities to that Eligible Shareholder would not take their voting power to in excess of 19.99%; and then
-
(b) to other parties identified by the Directors, which may include parties who are not currently Shareholders.
No Shares will be issued to a party under the Shortfall Offer if the effect would be to increase that party’s voting power in the Company to an amount greater than 19.99%.
The Company reserves the right to issue an Eligible Shareholder a lesser number of Shortfall Securities than applied for or no Shortfall Securities at all. However, the Directors do not intend to refuse an application for Shortfall Securities from Eligible Shareholders other than in circumstances of oversubscription or where acceptance may result in a breach of the Corporations Act. If the number of Shortfall Securities applied for by Eligible Shareholders exceeds the total Shortfall, the Shortfall Securities will be allocated among applying Eligible Shareholders proportionate to their existing holdings.
All decisions regarding the allocation of Shortfall Securities will be made by the Directors and will be final and binding on all applicants under the Shortfall Offer; as such there is no guarantee that any Shortfall Securities applied for will be issued to Eligible Shareholders.
The Company will have no liability to any Applicant who receives less than the number of Shortfall Securities they applied for under the Shortfall Offer. If the Company scales back any applications for Shortfall Securities under the Shortfall Offer any Application monies will be returned (without interest) as soon as practicable.
2.8 ASX listing
Application for Official Quotation of the Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus will be made within 7 days after the date of this Prospectus. If ASX does not grant Official Quotation of the Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus before the expiration of three months after the date of issue of the Prospectus, (or such period as varied by the ASIC), the Company will not issue any Shares and will repay all Application monies for the Shares within the time prescribed under the Corporations Act, without interest.
The fact that ASX may grant Official Quotation to the Shares is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the Shares now offered for subscription.
The Company will not apply for Official Quotation of the New Options issued pursuant to this Prospectus.
12
2.9 Issue of Securities
Securities issued pursuant to the Offer will be issued in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and timetable set out at Section 1.
Securities issued pursuant to the Shortfall Offer will be issued on a progressive basis. Where the number of Securities issued is less than the number applied for, or where no issue is made surplus Application monies will be refunded without any interest to the Applicant as soon as practicable after the closing date of the Shortfall Offer. To avoid administrative costs and delay associated with processing negligible refunds (e.g. due to rounding discrepancies), a minimum refund amount of $1.00 will apply. Refunds below this threshold will not be issued.
Pending the issue of the Securities or payment of refunds pursuant to this Prospectus, all Application monies will be held by the Company in trust for the Applicants in a separate bank account as required by the Corporations Act. The Company, however, will be entitled to retain all interest that accrues on the bank account and each Applicant waives the right to claim interest.
Holding statements for Securities issued under the Offer will be mailed as soon as practicable after the issue of Securities and for Shortfall Securities issued under the Shortfall Offer as soon as practicable after their issue.
2.10 Overseas shareholders
This Offer does not, and is not intended to, constitute an offer in any place or jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer or to issue this Prospectus.
It is not practicable for the Company to comply with the securities laws of overseas jurisdictions having regard to the number of overseas Shareholders, the number and value of Securities these Shareholders would be offered and the cost of complying with regulatory requirements in each relevant jurisdiction. Accordingly, the Offer is not being extended and Shares will not be issued to Shareholders with a registered address which is outside Australia, New Zealand, European Union (excluding Austria), United Kingdom, Switzerland or Singapore.
New Zealand
This Offer to New Zealand investors is a regulated offer made under Australian and New Zealand law. In Australia, this is Chapter 8 of the Corporations Act and regulations made under that Act. In New Zealand, this is subpart 6 of Part 9 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 and Part 9 of the Financial Markets Conduct Regulations 2014.
This Offer and the content of the offer document are principally governed by Australian rather than New Zealand law. In the main, the Corporations Act and the regulations made under the Corporation Act set out how the offer must be made.
There are differences in how financial products are regulated under Australian law. For example, the disclosure of fees for managed investment schemes is different under the Australian regime.
The rights, remedies, and compensation arrangements available to New Zealand investors in Australian financial products may differ from the rights, remedies, and compensation arrangements for New Zealand financial products.
Both the Australian and New Zealand financial markets regulators have enforcement responsibilities in relation to this offer. If you need to make a complaint about this offer, please contact the Financial Markets Authority, New Zealand (http://www.fma.govt.nz). The Australian and New Zealand regulators will work together to settle your complaint.
The taxation treatment of Australian financial products is not the same as for New Zealand financial products.
If you are uncertain about whether this investment is appropriate for you, you should seek the advice of an appropriately qualified financial adviser.
13
The Offer may involve a currency exchange risk. The currency for the financial products is not New Zealand dollars. The value of the financial products will go up or down according to changes in the exchange rate between that currency and New Zealand dollars. These changes may be significant.
If you expect the financial products to pay any amounts in a currency that is not New Zealand dollars, you may incur significant fees in having the funds credited to a bank account in New Zealand in New Zealand dollars.
If the financial products are able to be traded on a financial product market and you wish to trade the financial products through that market, you will have to make arrangements for a participant in that market to sell the financial products on your behalf. If the financial product market does not operate in New Zealand, the way in which the market operates, the regulation of participants in that market, and the information available to you about the financial products and trading may differ from financial product markets that operate in New Zealand
European Union (excluding Austria)
This document has not been, and will not be, registered with or approved by any securities regulator in the European Union.

4. RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES ATTACHING TO SECURITIES
4.1 Rights and liabilities attaching to Shares
The following is a summary of the more significant rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares (and underlying Shares to the Options) being offered pursuant to this Prospectus. 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 and liabilities 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 of the Company.
(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 each Share held, 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).
(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 amount paid (not credited) 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 may determine. 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 a dividend reinvestment plan on such terms and conditions as the Directors think fit and 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.
20
(d) Winding-up
If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution, divide among the Shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the property of the Company, and may for that purpose set such value as 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, 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 issued will be fully paid shares, they will not be subject to any calls for money by the Directors and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.
(f) Transfer of shares
Generally, shares in the Company 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 and the ASX Listing Rules.
(g) Future increase in capital
The issue of any new Shares is under the control of the Directors of the Company. Subject to restrictions on the issue or grant of securities contained in the ASX Listing Rules, the Constitution and the Corporations Act (and without affecting any special right previously conferred on the holder of an existing share or class of shares), the Directors may issue Shares as they shall, in their absolute discretion, determine.
(h) Variation of rights
Under 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.
(i) Alteration of constitution
In accordance with the Corporations Act, 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.

5. RISK FACTORS
5.1 Introduction
The Securities offered under this Prospectus should be considered as highly speculative and an investment in the Company is not risk free.
The Directors strongly recommend that prospective investors consider the risk factors set out in this Section 5, together with all other information contained in this Prospectus.
The future performance of the Company and the value of the Securities may be influenced by a range of factors, many of which are largely beyond the control of the Company and the Directors. The key risks associated with the Company’s business, the industry in which it operates and general risks applicable to all investments in listed securities and financial markets generally are described below.
The risks factors set out in this Section 5, or other risk factors not specifically referred to, may have a materially adverse impact on the performance of the Company and the value of the Securities. This Section 5 is not intended to provide an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed.
Before determining whether to invest in the Company you should ensure that you have a sufficient understanding of the risks described in this Section 5 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.
5.2 Company specific
| RISK CATEGORY | RISK |
|---|---|
| Potential for dilution | Upon completion of the Offer, assuming all Entitlements are accepted, no other Shares are issued including Options being exercised or Performance Rights being converted prior to the Record Date, the number of Shares in the Company will increase from 1,283,062,044 currently on issue to 1,710,749,392. This means that immediately after the Offer each Share will represent a significantly lower proportion of the ownership of the Company. No immediate dilution will occur as a result of the issue of New Options under this Prospectus. However subsequent exercise of any or all of the New Options will result in dilution. Assuming all New Options offered pursuant to this Prospectus are issued and exercised into Shares, Shareholders who do not participate in the Offer, are likely to be diluted by an aggregate of approximately 25% (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of the Prospectus). It is not possible to predict what the value of the Company, a Share or an Option will be following the completion of the Offer being implemented and the Directors do not make any representation as to such matters. The last trading price of Shares on ASX prior to the Prospectus being lodged of $0.003 is not a reliable indicator as to the potential trading price of Shares after implementation of the Offer. |
| Additional requirements for capital |
The Company’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors. Depending on the Company’s ability to generate income from its operations, 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,mayinvolve restrictions on financingand |
24
| RISK CATEGORY | RISK |
|---|---|
| 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 and strategic programs 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. |
|
| Going Concern | The Company’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2024 (Annual Report) and half year ended 31 December 2024 (Half Year Report) each include a note on the financial condition of the Company and the possible existence of a material uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Notwithstanding the ‘going concern’ paragraph included in the Annual Report and Half Year Report, the Directors believe that the Company will have sufficient funds to adequately meet the Company’s current expenditure commitments and short-term working capital requirements. |
| Acquisition of neighbouring Sollstedt mine |
On 22 May 2024, the Company announced that it had signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Deusa International GmbH (Deusa) to purchase the neighbouring Sollstedt mine and infrastructure (Sollstedt) for €40 million cash. The exclusivity period for the MOU expires on 31 December 2025. The Company is currently in negotiations with Deusa to execute a binding purchase agreement (Agreement). Furthermore, the Company announced its prefeasibility study (PFS) for the development of the Ohmgebirge potash deposit with a key focus on the mining method selection, process plant design, infrastructure and site selection, and metallurgical process definition which takes into consideration the Ohmgebirge and Sollstedt properties. If the Company does not acquire Sollstedt it will not be able to proceed with the development of Ohmgebirge as detailed in the PFS. Furthermore, completion of the Agreement will be conditional upon the Company achieving full project financing, and taking a positive final investment decision for development of Ohmgebirge. The details of funding alternatives considered by the Company are set out in the PFS announced on 22 May 2024. |
| Risks associated with operating in Germany |
The tenements located in Germany will be subject to the various political, economic and other risks and uncertainties associated with operating in that country such as economic, social or political change, changes of law, taxation, working conditions, rates of exchange, exploration licensing, environmental protection, mine safety, labour relations as well as differing Federal and State government regulations over mineral properties. |
| Exploration | The mineral tenements of the Company 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 exploration of these tenements, or any other tenements that may be acquired in the future, will result in the discovery of an economic ore deposit. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited. The future exploration activities of the Company may be affected bya range of factors including geological conditions, |
25
| RISK CATEGORY | RISK |
|---|---|
| limitations on activities due to seasonal weather patterns, unanticipated operational and technical difficulties, industrial and environmental accidents, 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 having access to sufficient development capital, being able to maintain title to its tenements and obtaining all required approvals for its activities. In the event that exploration programmes prove to be unsuccessful this could lead to a diminution in the value of the tenements, a reduction in the cash reserves of the Company and possible relinquishment of the tenements. The exploration costs of the Company 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 uncertainties and, accordingly, the actual costs may materially differ from these 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 affect the Company’s viability. |
|
| Operations | The operations of the Company may be affected by various factors, including failure to locate or identify mineral deposits, failure to achieve predicted grades in exploration and mining, operational and technical difficulties encountered in mining, difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment, mechanical failure or plant breakdown, unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect extraction costs, adverse weather conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes and unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment. No assurances can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the successful exploration and/or mining of its tenement interests. Until the Company is able to realise value from its projects, it is likely to incur ongoing operating losses. |
| Resource and reserves and exploration targets |
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 extend on interpretations which may prove to be inaccurate. |
| Tenement Title | The Company has five tenements. Three of these licences are perpetual and not subject to renewal, work requirements, reporting or royalties. Two licences are for specific terms and are subject to periodic renewal and carry a work program and reporting commitments, as well as other conditions requiring compliance. The Company could lose title to or its interest in these two tenements if not renewed, if the licence conditions are not met or new obligations are imposed, or if insufficient funds are available to meet expenditure commitments as and when they arise, in line with the German legislation. |
26
| RISK CATEGORY | RISK |
|---|---|
| Mine development | Possible future development of mining operations at any of the Company’s 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 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, its operations may be disrupted by a variety of risks and hazards which are beyond its control, including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, technical failures, labour disputes, unusual or unexpected rock formations, flooding and extended interruptions due to inclement or hazardous weather conditions and fires, explosions or accidents. No assurance can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the development or mining of its projects and treatment of ore. |
| Environmental | The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to 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 Risk | 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, protection of endangered andprotected species and other matters. The |
27
| RISK CATEGORY | RISK |
|---|---|
| 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 will operate in substantial compliance with all material current laws and regulations affecting its activities, future changes in applicable laws, 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 activities. 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. |
|
| Strategy Risk | The Company has advised it is seeking to adopt a dual asset strategy through a targeted and aligned new asset acquisition and advancement, leveraging on its existing corporate foundation and established presence in Europe and Australia, with a disciplined focus from a proven (existing and new) team with suitable capability. It is possible that the Company may not be able to advance its strategy over the next 9 – 12 months as set out in the ASX announcement, and may need more time than expected or more due diligence than expected and thus time and direct and indirect costs of this strategy may increase beyond original allowances. |
5.3 General risks
| RISK CATEGORY | RISK |
|---|---|
| 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 commodities 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 may be expended in the official currency of the European Union (Euro) and Commonwealth of Australia, and taken into account in Australian currency, exposing the Company to the fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between the United States dollar, the Euro and the Australian dollar as determined in international markets. |
28
| RISK CATEGORY | RISK |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| Economic conditions and other global or national issues |
General economic conditions, laws relating to taxation, new legislation, trade barriers, movements in interest and inflation rates, currency exchange controls and rates, national and international political circumstances (including outbreaks in international hostilities, wars, terrorist acts, sabotage, subversive activities, security operations, labour unrest, civil disorder, and states of emergency), natural disasters (including fires, earthquakes and floods), and quarantine restrictions, epidemics and pandemics, may have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations and financial performance, including the Company’s exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities. General economic conditions may also affect the value of the Company and its market valuation regardless of its actual performance. |
| Market conditions | Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s quoted securities regardless of the Company’s operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as: (a) general economic outlook; (a) introduction of tax reform or other new legislation; (b) interest rates and inflation rates; (c) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors; (d) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and (e) terrorism or other hostilities. The market price of securities 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. |
| Litigation risks | The Company is exposed to possible litigation risks including intellectual property claims, contractual disputes, 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, financial performance and financial position. The Company is not currently engaged in any litigation. |
| Taxation | The acquisition and disposal of Shares will have tax consequences, which will differ depending on the individual financial affairs of each investor. All prospective investors in the Company are urged to obtain independent financial advice about the consequences of acquiring Shares from a taxation viewpoint and generally. |
29
| RISK CATEGORY | RISK |
|---|---|
| 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 Securities under this Prospectus. |
|
| 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. |
5.4 Speculative investment
The risk factors described above, and other risk factors not specifically referred to, may have a materially adverse impact on the performance of the Company and the value of the Securities.
Prospective investors should consider that an investment in the Company is highly speculative.
There is no guarantee that the Securities offered under this Prospectus will provide a return on capital, payment of dividends or increases in the market value of those Securities.
Before deciding whether to subscribe for Securities under this Prospectus you should read this Prospectus in its entirety and consider all factors, taking into account your objectives, financial situation and needs.

Security holdings
The relevant interest of each of the Directors in the Securities as at the date of this Prospectus, together with their respective Entitlement, is set in Section 1.4.
Remuneration
The remuneration of an executive Director is decided by the Board, without the affected executive Director participating in that decision-making process. The total maximum remuneration of non-executive Directors is initially set by the Constitution and subsequent variation is by ordinary resolution of Shareholders in general meeting in accordance with the Constitution, the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, as applicable. The determination of non-executive Directors’ remuneration within that maximum will be made by the Board having regard to the inputs and value to the Company of the respective contributions by each non-executive Director. The current amount has been set at an amount not to exceed $500,000 per annum.
A Director may be paid fees or other amounts (i.e. non-cash performance incentives such as Options, subject to any necessary Shareholder approval) as the other Directors determine where a Director performs special duties or otherwise performs services outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a Director. In addition, Directors are also entitled to be paid reasonable travelling, hotel and other expenses incurred by them respectively in or about the performance of their duties as Directors.
The following table shows the total (and proposed) annual remuneration paid to both executive and non-executive Directors.
| DIRECTOR | PROPOSED REMUNERATION FOR CURRENT FINANCIAL YEAR (30 JUNE 2025) |
REMUNERATION FOR PREVIOUS FINANCIAL YEAR (30 JUNE 2024) |
