EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors consider to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions which are the subject of the business of the Meeting.
1. BACKGROUND TO RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2
1.1 Proposed Transaction
As announced on 10 March 2025, the Company has entered into an agreement (“ Acquisition Agreement ”) with Ashgill Morocco Limited (“ Ashgill ” or the “ Vendor ”) to whereby it has been granted an exclusive option to acquire the highly prospective Casablanca Antimony Project (the “ Project ”) in central Morocco (the “ Transaction ”).
The Transaction will be completed via Zeus’s wholly owned Moroccan subsidiary Zeus Morocco Pty Ltd.
On the Company’s entrance into the Acquisition Agreement it paid the Vendor a cash payment of $25,000 for an exclusive 45 business day option to acquire a 100% legal and beneficial interest in the Project (“ Project Option ”).
The exercise of the Project Option by the Company is conditional on due diligence and the Company obtaining all necessary regulatory and Shareholder approvals to effect the Transaction.
In consideration for the Transaction and subject to the exercise of the Project Option, the Company has agreed, subject to shareholder approval, to:
-
(a) issue the Vendor (or its nominees) 62,500,000 Shares (“ Consideration Shares ”), with 50% of the Consideration Shares escrowed for 6-month period from the date of issue; and
-
(b) issue the Vendor (or its nominees) 12,000,000 Performance Rights (“ Consideration Performance Rights ”) on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 2.
The Company is seeking Shareholder approval pursuant to Resolution 1 for the issue of the Consideration Shares and the Consideration Performance Rights.
Following settlement of the Transaction, the Company will concentrate on a systematic exploration and growth strategy that aims to extend existing highgrade mineralisation, test multiple high priority regional prospects and deliver further developed data with a view to move towards a maiden mineral resource estimate.
A summary of the material terms of the Acquisition Agreement is set out in Schedule 1.
1.2 Introducer’s Fee
The Company has also entered into an agreement with Janus Capital Partners Ltd (“ Janus Capital ”), pursuant to which Janus Capital agreed to assist and facilitate the Company engaging and completing the Transaction.
As consideration for these services, the Company agreed to pay Janus Capital (or its nominees) a 12% fee of the total value of the consideration under the
6
Transaction payable in Options, subject to Shareholder approval, at a deemed issue price of $0.001 per Option (“ Introducer Options ”).
The Company seeks shareholder approval for 72,500,000 Introducer Options, with each Introducer Option to be issued with an exercise price of $0.02 and an expiry date of 12 December 2027 on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 3.
The Company confirms that Janus Capital is not a related party of the Company.
1.3 Antimony Market
Antimony (Sb) remains a critical and geopolitically sensitive mineral, essential for various industrial applications, particularly in solar photovoltaics (PV) and military supply chains. The global antimony market is experiencing significant supply constraints, driven primarily by China’s production decline and export restrictions. These have contributed to a tightening supply-demand dynamic and record-high prices.
1.4 Antimony in Morocco
In Morocco, antimony mineralisation occurs in several areas, primarily in the High Atlas Mountains and the Anti-Atlas Mountains in central and southern Morocco, respectively.
In the western Meseta region of Morocco, where the Casablanca Project is located, geological structures, including folds, faults, and fractures, primarily control antimony mineralisation. Antimony deposits may form in the hinge zones of anticlines or within faults or shear zones, where the rocks are more fractured and permeable and fluids containing antimony can migrate more easily. Understanding the area’s geological structure is essential for identifying potential antimony deposits and developing effective exploration and mining strategies.
1.5 The Casablanca Antimony Project
The Casablanca Antimony Project comprises six (6) licences covering an area of approximately 79km[2 ] at the provincial boundary separating the Khouribga and Khenifra Provinces in the Beni Mellal-Khenifra Region of Morocco. The Project is about 42km northeast of Khouribga and 115km southeast of Casablanca. Direct access to the Project area is via road R311, which joins the city of Oued Zem to the Moulay Bouazza township.
The Project's licences are valid till 23 March 2026 with options to extend for an additional four years.

1.5.1 Project Geology
The Project area is situated between two different structures of the central massif: the Foural-Telt synclinorium to the west and the Khouribga-Oulmès anticlinorium to the east. The Smaala-Oulmès Fault Zone separates these two areas.
The Oulmes fault (Hercynian Central Morocco) contains ductile shear and tangential tectonics. In the northern Hercynian Central Morocco, the Oulmes Fault, which delimits the anticlinorium of Khouribga-Oulmès to the West and the synclinorium of Fourhal Telt to the East, displays ductile shear characteristics.
The structural elements associated with it indicate a sinistral displacement with a northwestward tangential component. The continuation of this shear zone towards the south of the massif has not been proved yet. The Namuro-Wesphalian ductile activity of the shear zone is preceded by pre-Visean faulting and postHercynian remobilisations.
The antimony mineralisation resides in a substantial dilational jog developed in a regional NNE-striking fault, the Smaala-Oulmes Fault. Antimony, occurring as semimassive stibnite (antimony sulphide), is widely distributed throughout the dilation zone, providing favourable mineralisation sites. The mineralisation is often associated with quartz veins that cut through the host rocks.
8
The quartz veins can range in thickness from a few centimetres to several meters and contain high concentrations of stibnite as disseminated grains within quartz or as massive aggregates that fill the veins. The metamorphosed host rocks are a mixture of shale, sandstone, and siltstone.

1.5.2 Exploration to Date
The Project contains several historical and recent artisanal mine workings. Sporadic prospecting and small-scale mining for antimony have occurred over parts of the project area since the 1920s. Previous explorers conducted geological mapping, rock chip sampling, and a stream sediment survey. The rock chip sampling notified occurrences of stibnite (antimony) mineralisation in the southern and northern research licenses, and copper sulphides (chalcopyrite, bornite) and the oxides malachite and azurite in the northern research licenses.
1.5.3 Stream Sampling Program
An initial drainage geochemistry program was conducted from June 15 to 27, 2023, aiming to sample practically all important streams in the Project area. Samples were taken from the 1mm fraction after sieving in the field. The final weight of each sample was 120g. A total of 183 samples were taken and dispatched to the ALS Lab in Seville, Spain.
9
Assessment of the stream geochemistry highlighted several areas of anomalous gallium (Ga) results, including an area extending over 5km in length and corresponding with a structurally disrupted zone. Anomalous Ga, with a peak result of 5.56ppm, was returned from 10 samples draining various points along the length of the structure. Gallium numbers range between 1.335 to 5.56 ppm, averaging 2.45 ppm.

1.5.4 Rock Chip Sampling Program
A total of 40 samples weighing approximately 500g each were taken between the two blocks. Sampling was based on field observations and stream sample
10
analyses showing some element anomalies in the targeted zones. The image below shows the distribution of samples from the veins (25 samples were taken from the Northern Block and 15 from the Southern Block). Assay results included 61.9%,44.5%, and 39.4% Sb.

1.6 Casablanca Antimony Project in Country Team
The Company has engaged the Vendor to provide ongoing in-country support to assist and manage Zeus’s work program in Morocco, providing a wealth of local knowledge and network on the ground and getting the work done as required.
11
The Vendor is an entity incorporated in Morocco, which is a subsidiary of Ashgill Australia Pty Ltd, an Australian geology and mining consultant group currently managing exploration projects in Australia, Morocco and Mongolia.
1.7 Morocco Exploration and Mining Overview
Morocco's mining industry is a significant contributor to the national economy. It has a rich history and diverse mineral resources.
A National Mining Sector Development Strategy 2013-2025 was developed and reviewed in 2019, focusing on six areas for the development of the national mining sector. These are:
-
the revitalisation of mining research and exploration;
-
strengthening the professionalisation of mining operators;
-
the adaptability of the sector's organisation: Roles, Structures, Means and Procedures;
-
enhancing the image of the sector and improving its social acceptability and its impact on local development;
-
the availability of qualified human capital and the capitalisation of knowledge necessary for the development and sustainability of the national mining sector; and
-
the adaptation of the legal framework and financial and fiscal means to the specificities of the sector.
Morocco's modern mining regulatory framework, established in 2016, promotes transparency and efficiency, making it an attractive destination for mining investment. Morocco's mining sector attracts foreign investment and offers significant opportunities for exploration and development, particularly in antimony.
According to the Fraser Institute Annual Survey of Mining Companies 2023, Morocco is Africa's second most attractive jurisdiction for overall investment and policy, behind only Botswana.
