No Securities may be issued on the basis of this Prospectus later than 13 months after the date of this Prospectus.

No person is authorised to give information or to make any representation in connection with this Prospectus, which is not contained in this Prospectus. Any information or representation not so contained may not be relied on as having been authorised by the Company in connection with this Prospectus.

It is important that investors read this Prospectus in its entirety and seek professional advice where necessary. The Securities offered by this Prospectus should be considered as highly speculative.

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 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 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, Germany, Hong Kong, Qatar, Botswana, Singapore, Switzerland, Thailand or the United Kingdom.

For further information on overseas Shareholders please refer to Section 2.9.

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

1

Prospectus (Transaction Specific) – Rights Issue - Verity (Draft) (3 04 25)(3661960.2)

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.

1.7

1.8

Effect on Control

If all Eligible Shareholders take up their Entitlements, the issue of Securities under the Offer will have no effect on the control of the Company and all Shareholders will hold the same percentage interest in the Company.

However, if not all Eligible Shareholders take up their Entitlements then changes to the ownership interests of the Company may occur. The table below sets out Patrick John Volpe and relevant interest’s voting power in the Company as at the Record Date and the potential increase to its voting power under several scenarios relating to the percentage acceptance of Entitlements under the Offer.

Prospectus (Transaction Specific) – Rights Issue - Verity (Draft) (3 04 25)(3661960.2)

Notes:

In this table:

  • (a) “100% take up” assumes that Mr Patrick John Volpe and his associates take up 100% of their Entitlement (15,437,500 Shares) and Eligible Shareholders other than Mr Volpe and his associates take up 100% of their Entitlement (76,732,780 Shares);

  • (b) “50% take up” assumes that Mr Patrick John Volpe and his associates take up 100% of their Entitlement (15,437,500 Shares) and Eligible Shareholders other than Mr Volpe and his associates take up 50% of their Entitlement (38,366,390 Shares);

  • (c) “25% take up” assumes that Mr Patrick John Volpe and his associates take up 100% of their Entitlement (15,437,500 Shares) and Eligible Shareholders other than Mr Volpe and his associates take up 25% of their Entitlement (19,183,195 Shares); and

  • (d) “0% take up” assumes that Mr Patrick John Volpe and his associates take up 100% of their Entitlement (15,437,500 Shares) and Eligible Shareholders other than Mr Volpe and his associates take up 0% of their Entitlement (0 Shares).

As detailed above, the Underwriter is an entity associated with Director, Patrick Volpe and controlled by substantial shareholder Patrick John Volpe.

In the event no Eligible Shareholders take up their Entitlements, Mr Patrick John Volpe and his associates take up 100% of their Entitlement under the Offer and the Underwriter (being, one of the associated entities controlled by Patrick John Volpe) takes up the full Underwritten Amount, at completion of the Offer Mr Patrick John Volpe and his associates will hold a voting power of 31.55%. The Board consider that this is highly unlikely to occur on the basis that the Offer is renounceable and includes a Shortfall Offer.

1.9 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 33.33% (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 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 50% (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:

Shareholder 5 50,000 0.03% 25,000 50,000 0.02%

Notes:

  1. This is based on a share capital of 184,340,561 Shares as at the date of the Prospectus and assumes no Options currently on issue are exercised or other Shares are issued.

  2. 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 Underwriting and Shortfall Offer. In the event all Entitlements are not accepted and some or all of the resulting Shortfall was not

Prospectus (Transaction Specific) – Rights Issue - Verity (Draft) (3 04 25)(3661960.2)

subsequently placed, the dilution effect for each Shareholder not accepting their Entitlement would be a lesser percentage.

2.3 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;

  • (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 5:00pm (EST) 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;

  • (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.

(c) By Cheque

Payment by cheque or case will not be accepted.

2.4 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; and

  • (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.

2.5 Minimum subscription

There is no minimum subscription.

2.6

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 $0.012 being the price at which Shares have been offered under the Offer

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 or the Underwriter 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 Section 2.3

Allocation of the Shortfall Shares will be at the discretion of the Board in conjunction with the Underwriter and will otherwise be subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, details of which are set out in Section 6.4.1. If the Offer is oversubscribed (by take up of Entitlements and applications for Shortfall Securities by Eligible Shareholders), scale back will be applied to applications under the Shortfall Offer on a pro-rata basis to the respective shareholdings of Eligible Shareholders. There is no guarantee that Eligible Shareholders will receive Securities applied for under the Shortfall Offer.

The Company notes that no Securities will be issued to an applicant under this Prospectus or via the Shortfall Offer if the issue of Securities would contravene the takeover prohibition in section 606 of the Corporations Act. Similarly, no Securities will be issued via the Shortfall Offer to any related parties of the Company.

2.7

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.

Prospectus (Transaction Specific) – Rights Issue - Verity (Draft) (3 04 25)(3661960.2)

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.

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.

If only the Underwritten Amount ($293,000) is raised under the Offer, then the expenses of the Offer and the amount allocated to the expenses of the Offer are not expected to change. In the event the Offer is not fully subscribed, operational objectives are likely to be modified, which may result in delay or substantial changes to the Company’s future plans. In this event (and after accounting for associated Offer expenses) it is likely that the Company will appropriate scale back funds available in the following order: (1) repayment of the working capital loan (Item 4), (2) working capital (Item 5) and (3) exploration activities (Items 1,2 and 3) in proportion to the difference between the full subscription amount and the amount raised (including the Underwritten Amount).

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 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.

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 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) Voting rights

At a general meeting, on a show of hands every Shareholder present in person has one vote. At the taking of a poll, every Shareholder present in person or by proxy and whose shares are fully paid has one vote for each of his or her shares. On a poll, the holder of a partly paid share has a fraction of a vote with respect to the share. The fraction is equivalent to the proportion which the amount paid (not credited) bears to the total amount paid and payable (excluding amounts credited).

(b) Dividend rights

The Directors may pay to ordinary shareholders any interim and final dividends as, in the Directors’ judgement, the financial position of Company justifies. The Directors may fix the amount, the record date for determining eligibility and the method of payment. All dividends must be paid to the Shareholders in proportion to the number and the amount paid on the shares held.

(c) Liquidation rights

Subject to any Shares that may in the future be issued with special or preferential rights (currently there are none), the surplus assets of the Company after winding up will be divided among the members in proportion to the number of Shares held by them, irrespective of the amounts paid or credited as paid on the Shares.

However, a liquidator in a winding-up may, with the sanction of a special resolution of members, divide among the members the whole or any part of the property of the Company and determine how the division is to be carried out as between members of different classes.

(d) Decisions of directors

Questions arising at a meeting of Directors are decided by a majority of votes. Where the votes are equal on a proposed resolution the Chairman does not have a casting vote.

(e) 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.

(f) Future increase in capital

Subject to the Constitution, the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, the Directors may issue, or grant options in respect of, shares to such persons on such terms as they think fit. In particular, the Directors may issue preference shares, including redeemable preference shares, and may issue shares with preferred, deferred or special rights or restrictions in relation to dividends, voting, return of capital and participation in surplus on winding up.

(g) Variation of rights

21

Prospectus (Transaction Specific) – Rights Issue - Verity (Draft) (3 04 25)(3661960.2)

The Company may only modify or vary the rights attaching to any class of shares with the prior approval by a special resolution of the holders of shares in that class at a meeting of those holders, or with the written consent of the holders of at least three-fourths of the issued shares of that class.

(h) Directors

The minimum number of Directors is three and the maximum is 14 unless resolved otherwise in general meeting. Currently, there are four Directors. Directors must retire on a rotational basis so that one-third of Directors retire at each annual general meeting. Any other Director who has been in office for three or more years must also retire. A retiring Director is eligible for re-election.

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 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
33.33% (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 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 33% (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 $0.015 is not a reliable indicator as to the
potential trading price of Shares after implementation of the
Offer.
Control risk Mr Patrick John Volpe (together with his associates) is currently
the largest Shareholder of the Company and has a relevant
interest in approximately 16.75% of the Shares in the Company.
Assuming Mr Volpe takes up its full Entitlement and no other
Shareholders accept their entitlements, Mr Volpe’s voting
power in the Company could be as high as 23.18%.
As detailed above,the Underwriter is an entityassociated with

24

Prospectus (Transaction Specific) – Rights Issue - Verity (Draft) (3 04 25)(3661960.2)

RISK CATEGORY RISK
Director,
Patrick
Volpe
and
controlled
by
substantial
shareholder Patrick John Volpe. In the event no Eligible
Shareholders take up their Entitlements, Mr Patrick John Volpe
and his associates take up 100% of their Entitlement under the
Offer and the Underwriter (being, one of the associated entities
controlled by Patrick John Volpe) takes up the full Underwritten
Amount, at completion of the Offer Mr Patrick John Volpe and
his associates will hold a voting power of 31.55%.
Mr Volpe’s significant interest in the capital of the Company
means that it is in a position to potentially influence the
financial decisions of the Company, and its interests may not
align with those of all other Shareholders.
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, 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.
Going Concern The Company’s Half Year Report for 31 December 2024
(Financial Report) includes 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’ included in the Financial
Report, the Directors believe that upon the successful
completion of the Offer, the Company will have sufficient funds
to adequately meet the Company’s current exploration
commitments and short term working capital requirements.
However, it is highly likely that further funding will be required to
meet the medium to long term working capital costs of the
Company.
In the event that the Offer is not completed successfully there is
significant uncertainty as to whether the Company can
continue as a going concern which is likely to have a material
adverse effect on the Company’s activities.
Mineral,
development
and
production
Mineral
exploration
and
development
are
high
risk
undertakings. The tenements of the Company are at various
stages of exploration, development and production. There can
be no assurance that exploration of the mining tenements, or
any other tenements that may be acquired in the future, will
result in the discovery of economic mineral reserves and, even
if identified, there is no guarantee that they can be
economically exploited. Even if economic mineralisation is
discovered there is no guarantee that it can be commercially
exploited.
Operating Risks The operations of the Company may be affected by various
factors,
including
operational
and
technical
difficulties
encountered in mining and maintaining mining productivity
rates; difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and
equipment;unforeseen increases in capital or operatingcosts;

25

Prospectus (Transaction Specific) – Rights Issue - Verity (Draft) (3 04 25)(3661960.2)

RISK CATEGORY RISK
mechanical
failure
or
plant
breakdown;
unanticipated
metallurgical problems which may affect extraction costs;
adverse weather conditions (e.g. significant rainfall); delays in
construction of tails dam wall lifts; industrial and environmental
accidents; industrial disputes; and unexpected shortages or
increases in the costs of consumables, labour and contractors,
spare parts and plant and equipment. This may have an
adverse effect on the operations and production ability of the
Company by increasing costs or delaying activities.
Title and Tenure Risk Interests in mining tenements in Botswana, Australia and Brazil
are governed by National (in the case of Botswana) and State
(in the case of Australia and Brazil) legislation and are
evidenced by the granting of licences or leases. Each licence
or lease is for a specific term and has annual expenditure and
reporting
commitments,
together
with
other
conditions
requiring compliance. While the Company has good title to its
tenements, the Company could lose its title to or its interest in
one or more of the tenements in which it has an interest if
licence conditions are not met or if insufficient funds are
available to meet the minimum expenditure commitments.
The Company's mining tenements, and other tenements in
which the Company may acquire an interest, will be subject to
renewal, which is usually at the discretion of the relevant
authority. If a tenement is not renewed the Company may lose
the opportunity to discover mineralisation and develop that
tenement.
The Company cannot guarantee that any tenements in which
it has an interest will be renewed beyond their current expiry
date, and there is a material risk that, in the event the
Company is unable to renew any of its tenements beyond their
current expiry date, all or part of the Company’s interests in the
corresponding projects may be relinquished.
On 17 May 2024, the Perth Warden’s Court dismissed an
application by Camin Resources Pty Ltd (Camin) for 10
Prospecting Licences (39/6390 – 6399), tenements which
Monument Pty Ltd, a 100% owned subsidiary of the Company,
had made an application to amalgamate with its surrounding
tenements. The order was subject to a judicial review period
which expired on 27 November 2024. Camin has since referred
the matter to the Western Australia Minister for Mines and
Petroleum and the Company may be requested to file a
submission in response. In the event the objection is successful
the Company’s interest in the relevant tenements may be
impacted. The Company cannot guarantee the objection
won’t be successful.
The Company has continued discussions with various parties
regarding potential strategic partnerships or corporate events
with the Company’s Botswana assets. No binding agreements
have been reached and the Company will continue to update
the market if any outcome is reached.
Sovereign Risk The Company has projects located in Botswana and Brazil. The
Company is therefore subject to the risks associated with
operating in foreign countries. There are risks attached to
exploration and mining operations in foreign countries that are
not necessarily present in Australia. These risks may include
economic, social or political instability or change, inflation,
currency non-convertibility or instability and changes of (or the
interpretation of)laws affectingforeign ownership, government

RISK CATEGORY RISK
participation, taxation, working conditions, rates of exchange,
exchange
control,
exploration
licensing,
export
duties,
repatriation of income or return of capital, environmental
protection and labour relations as well as government control
over natural resources or government regulations that require
employment of local staff or contractors or require other
benefits to be provided to local residents.
Geotechnical Risk Geotechnical risks arise from the movement of the ground
during and following mining activity. This may result in
temporary or permanent access to a mine being cut off. The
loss of access may have a significant impact on the economics
of the ore body or delay the delivery of ore to the processing
plant. Additionally, significant additional costs may result from
designing and constructing alternative access drives which will
also impact the economics of the mining operation, potentially
making the mine uneconomic. Assessment of the extent and
magnitude of ground movements that could take place or that
have taken place within the mine and surrounding area will be
evaluated by the Company.
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.
Pandemics The outbreak of a pandemic such as the coronavirus disease
(SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2),
coronavirus disease 2019 or COVID 19, including any future
resurgence or evolutions or mutations thereof or any related or
associated epidemic, pandemic or disease outbreak) (COVID-
19) may impact global economic markets. While COVID-19 is
not currently materially affecting the Company's operations,
with the potential for further outbreaks and new strains of the
virus, the ongoing nature and extent of the effect of the
COVID-19 outbreak on the performance of the Company
remains unknown.
The Company’s Shareprice maybe adverselyaffected in the

short to medium term by the economic uncertainty caused by
a pandemic such as COVID-19. Further, any governmental or
industry measures taken in response to a pandemic may
adversely impact the Company’s operations and are likely to
be beyond the control of the Company.
In addition, the effects of COVID-19 on the market price of the
Shares and global financial markets generally may also affect
the Company's ability to raise equity or debt if and when
required or require the Company to issue capital at a discount,
which may result in dilution for some or all Shareholders.
Related party risk The Company has a number of key contractual relationships
with related parties. If these relationships breakdown and the
related party agreements are terminated, there is a risk that the
Company may not be able to find a satisfactory replacement.
Further, the operations of the Company will require involvement
of related parties and other third parties. With respect to these
persons and despite applying best practice in terms of pre-
contracting due diligence, the Company is unable to
completely avoid the risk of:
(a)
financial failure or default by a participant in any
agreement to which the Company may become a
party; and/or
(b)
insolvency, default on performance or delivery by any
operators, contractors or service providers.
There is also a risk that where the Company has engaged a
contractor who is a related party, the contract between the
contractor and the Company may terminate for reasons
outside of the control of the Company. This may then result in
the termination of the contract between the Company and the
contractor
and

Company’s

5.3 General risks

RISK CATEGORY RISK
Economic General economic conditions, 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.
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;
(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 securities can fall as well as rise and may be
subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market

RISK CATEGORY RISK
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.
Dividends 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 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.
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.
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.
Exchange Rate Risk
and
Commodity
Price Volatility
Any revenue the Company may derive through the sale of any
other minerals it may discover 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 macroeconomic factors such as inflation expectations,
interest rates and general global economic conditions.
Furthermore, international prices of various commodities are
denominated in United States dollars whereas the income and
expenditure of the Company are and will be taken into
account in Australian, Botswanan and Brazilian currency. This
exposes the Company to the fluctuations and volatility of the
rate of exchange between each of the United States dollar, the
Australian dollar and the currencies of Botswana and Brazil as
determined in international markets.
If the price of commodities declines this could have an adverse
effect on the Company’s exploration, development and
possible production activities, and its ability to fund these
activities, which may no longer be profitable.
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.

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 $250,000 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.
