3. Overview of the Kooky Resources Acquisition
3.1 Background
On 13 November 2024, the Company announced it had entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the issued capital of Kooky Resources Pty Ltd ( Acquisition ).
Kooky Resources is a privately owned company with a highly prospective 388km[2] antimony and gold exploration land package in the New England Orogen of New South Wales, comprising the Kookabookra Gold Project and the Rockvale Project (the Projects ) which surround the Hillgrove Gold-Antimony project, a top 10 global antimony deposit.
The Projects are considered highly prospective for the discovery of high-grade orogenic gold and antimony mineralisation and intrusion-related gold mineralisation.
The Company completed the Acquisition on 20 November 2024 ( Completion Date ).
3.2 Material terms of the Acquisition Agreement
The Acquisition was undertaken by way of an acquisition of all the issued capital of Kooky Resources from the shareholders of Kooky Resources ( Sellers ) under a share sale agreement ( Acquisition Agreement ).
MQB Ventures Pty Ltd has been appointed as the representative for the Sellers ( Seller’s Representative ).
Consideration for the Acquisition under the Acquisition Agreement comprises:
-
(a) $150,000 cash which has been paid;
-
(b) 30,000,000 Shares issued on the Completion Date ( Upfront Consideration Shares ) (the subject of Resolution 1);
-
(c) deferred consideration comprising 20,000,000 Shares to be issued upon the earlier of the Company satisfying access requirements to certain target areas of the Projects and 6 months from completion of the Acquisition as set out in Section 3.3 ( Deferred Consideration Shares ) (the subject of Resolution 2);
Page 7
3453-9610-9874, v. 3
- (d) contingent consideration subject to the satisfaction of certain milestones as set out Section 3.4 (the Contingent Consideration ).
In addition, the Company will grant the Seller’s Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) a 1.5% net smelter return royalty with respect to production of all metals from the Projects, with the royalty to be payable following commencement of commercial production.
The Acquisition Agreement contains warranties, indemnities and other rights and obligations that are considered standard for a transaction of this nature.
3.3 Deferred Consideration Shares
The Deferred Consideration Shares will be issued in the following tranches:
-
(a) 10,000,000 Shares within five business days after execution of a land access agreement in respect of one of certain target areas identified in the Acquisition Agreement;

-
(c) 5,000,000 Shares within five business days after the execution of a land access agreement in respect of the third of the target area identified in the Acquisition Agreement.
Any Deferred Consideration Shares not issued within 6 months of the Completion Date, will be issued within 5 business days thereafter.
The issue of the Deferred Consideration Shares is subject to Shareholder approval pursuant to Resolution 2. In the event that the Shareholder approval has not been received or has lapsed at the time that any Shares are required to be issued, the value of the Deferred Consideration Shares will be paid in cash at a deemed issue price per Share equal to the volume weighted average price of Shares traded on ASX over the 5 consecutive days on which trades of Shares are recorded on ASX up to but excluding the date on which the relevant access agreement was executed.
3.4 Contingent Consideration
The Contingent Consideration will be paid as follows:
-
(a) $300,000 to be paid in cash or Shares (or a combination of cash or Shares) upon the completion of at least 3,000 metres of drilling in aggregate across the Projects within 2 years of the Completion Date;
-
(b) $600,000 to be paid in cash or Shares (or a combination of cash or Shares) upon the announcement of a Mineral Resource of at least 100,000 ounces of gold equivalent at a minimum grade of 1.5 grams per tonne gold equivalent or 500,000 ounces gold equivalent at a minimum grade of 0.8 grams per tonne gold equivalent within 5 years of the Completion Date; and

Page 8
3453-9610-9874, v. 3
prior Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 and will be issued at a deemed issue price equal to the volume weighted average price of Shares traded on ASX over the 20 consecutive days on which trades of Shares are recorded on ASX up to but excluding the date of issue of the relevant Shares.
4. Resolution 1 – Ratification of issue of Upfront Consideration Shares
4.1 General
The background to the Acquisition and the issue of the Upfront Consideration Shares is set out in Section 3 above.
On 20 November 2024, the Company issued 30,000,000 Shares pursuant to the Acquisition using the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 1 seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the Upfront Consideration Shares.
4.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
Listing Rule 7.4 provides an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in a general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1), those securities will be deemed to have been made with Shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.
The issue of the Upfront Consideration Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, effectively uses up part of the Company's placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. This reduces the Company's capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12month period following the issue of the Completion Shares.
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 1 will be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 1 is passed, the Upfront Consideration Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Upfront Consideration Shares will continue to be included in the Company's 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 30,000,000 Equity Securities for the 12 month period following the issue of the Upfront Consideration Shares.
4.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the issue of the Upfront Consideration Shares:
- (a) The Upfront Consideration Shares were issued to the Sellers, none of whom are a related party of the Company or a Material Investor.
Page 9
3453-9610-9874, v. 3
-
(b) 30,000,000 Shares were issued within the Company’s 15% placement capacity permitted under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1.
-
(c) The Upfront Consdieration Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue.
-
(d) The Upfront Consideration Shares were issued on 20 November 2024.
-
(e) The Upfront Consideration Shares were issued for nil cash as partial consideration for the Acquisition. Accordingly, no funds were raised from the issue of the Upfront Consideration Shares.
-
(f) A summary of the material terms of the Acquisition is set out in Section 3.2 above.
-
(g) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
4.4 Additional information
Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
5. Resolution 2 – Approval of issue of Deferred Consideration Shares
5.1 General
The background to the Acquisition and the issue of the Deferred Consideration Shares is set out in Section 3 above.
Resolution 2 seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 to approve the issue of Deferred Consideration Shares to the Sellers.
5.2 Listing Rule 7.1
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is contained in Section 4.2 above.
The proposed issue of Deferred Consideration Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 2 will be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 2 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Deferred Consideration Shares. In addition, the Deferred Consideration Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval, to the extent of 20,000,000 Equity Securities over the 12-month period following the issue date.
If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Deferred Consideration Shares and will be required to pay cash to the Vendors.

5.4 Additional information
Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution.
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
6. Resolution 3 – Ratification of issue of Adviser Shares
6.1 General
Alex Cowie, Private Equity Pty Ltd and Cityscape Asset Pty Ltd (the Advisers ) acted as advisers to the Company in relation to introduction of the Acquisition to the Company and the negotiation of the terms. In consideration for this, the Company agreed to issue the Advisers a total of 9,375,000 Shares as follows:
-
(a) 6,250,000 Shares to Alex Cowie (or his nominees);
-
(b) 1,562,500 Shares to Private Equity Pty Ltd (or its nominees); and
-
(c) 1,562,500 Shares to Cityscape Asset Pty Ltd (or its nominees).
(together, the Adviser Shares ).
On 20 November 2024, the Company issued the Adviser Shares using the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 3 seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the Adviser Shares.
Page 11
3453-9610-9874, v. 3
6.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4
A summary of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4 is contained in Section 4.2 above.
The issue of the Adviser Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, effectively uses up part of the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. This reduces the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following the issue of the Adviser Shares.
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 3 will be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Adviser Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Adviser Shares will continue to be included in the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 9,375,000 Equity Securities for the 12-month period following the issue of the Adviser Shares.
6.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the issue of the Adviser Shares:
-
(a) The Adviser Shares were issued to the Advisers (or their nominees) in the proportions set out in Section 6.1, none of whom are a related party of the Company or a Material Investor.

(b) 9,375,000 Shares were issued within the Company’s 15% placement capacity permitted under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
(c) The Adviser Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares on issue.
-

On 3 June 2024, the Company announced that it had entered into an underwriting agreement with RM Corporate Finance Pty Ltd (Underwriter) in connection with its fully underwritten entitlement offer ( Underwriting Agreement ).
On 3 October 2024, the Company issued 2,271,418 Shares to the Underwriter (or its nominees) in lieu of 50% of the fees payable to the Underwriter in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement.

The Underwriting Agreement contains additional provisions, including warranties and indemnities in respect of the Company, which are considered standard for agreements of this nature
7.3 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4
A summary of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4 is contained in Section 4.2 above.
The issue of the Underwriter Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, effectively uses up part of the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. This reduces the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following the issue of the Underwriter Shares.
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 4 will be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 4 is passed, the Underwriter Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Underwriter Shares will continue to be included in the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 500,000 Equity Securities for the 12-month period following the issue of the Underwriter Shares.
