Resolution 1
ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
In accordance with section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company must put the
Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Directors’ Report contains the
Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and the
remuneration arrangements in place for Key Management Personnel.
In accordance with section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, Resolution 1 is advisory only and
does not bind the Company or the Directors. If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Directors will
not be required to alter any of the Company’s remuneration arrangements, but the Board will
consider the discussion on this Resolution and the outcome of the vote when considering the
future remuneration arrangements of the Company.
Voting against the Remuneration Report may trigger a 2-strike spill resolution, if the
Remuneration Report receives an against vote of 25% or more at two consecutive AGMs.
When the resolution on the Remuneration Report receives an Against vote at two consecutive
annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second
annual general meeting a resolution (Spill Resolution) on whether another meeting of
Shareholders should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than the managing
director) who were in office at the date of the applicable Directors’ Report must stand for re-
election.
At the Company’s 2024 annual general meeting, the Remuneration Report did not receive an
against vote of more than 25%. If the 2025 Remuneration Report receives an against vote of
25% or more, Shareholders should be aware that if a second against vote is received at the
2026 annual general meeting, this may result in the re-election of the Board.
14
The Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders to ask questions, or make
comments on, the Remuneration Report.
Board Recommendation
The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1, noting that each
Director has a material personal interest in their own remuneration of the Company.
Additional Information
Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution, requiring it to be passed by a simple majority of votes
cast by the Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in
the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).
Please refer to the voting exclusion statement set out on pages 1 and 2 for the persons who
are not entitled to vote on Resolution 1.
Resolution 2
RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR
Resolution 2 seeks approval for the re-election at the conclusion of the 2025 Meeting of Mr
Alan J Eggers as a Director.
Pursuant to Clause 13.3(b) of the Constitution and ASX Listing Rule 14.4, no Director may
hold office for a period in excess of three years, or beyond the third annual general meeting
following the Director’s election, whichever is the longer, without submitting himself or herself
for re-election.
Clause 13.3(e) of the Constitution provides that a retiring Director is eligible for re-election.
Mr Alan J Eggers, Executive Director, was last elected at the Company’s 2022 annual general
meeting. Accordingly, Mr Eggers will retire at this Meeting and being eligible, seeks re-
election pursuant to Resolution 2.
Mr Alan J Eggers
Executive Chairman
Appointed Last elected
10 November 2022 24 November 2022
Qualifications
B.Sc. (Hons), M.Sc. FSEG, FAusIMM, MAIG
Experience and Expertise
Mr Eggers is a geologist with over 40 years of local and international experience in mineral
exploration, metal mining, capital raising, corporate finance, management and public company
governance and brings exceptional commercial expertise.
He was a founding director of Summit Resources Limited which listed on the NZX in 1987 and
became an ASX top 200 company and was successfully taken over by Paladin Energy for
A$1.2B in 2007.
He is the Executive Chairman of Trans-Tasman Resources Limited (TTR) who owns the
offshore iron sands project situated in the South Taranaki Bight off the west coast of the North
Island of New Zealand.
15
He holds several private directorships.
If elected, the Board considers Mr Eggers will not be an independent Director as he holds an
executive role within the Group.
Technical Information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 2 is passed, Alan J Eggers will be re-elected to the Board.
If Resolution 2 is not passed, Alan J Eggers will not continue in his role as a director.
The Company may seek nominations or otherwise identify suitably qualified candidates to join
the Company. As an additional consequence, this may detract from the Board and Company’s
ability to execute on its strategic vision.
Board Recommendation
The Board (other than Mr Eggers, who has an interest in Resolution 2) supports the re-election
of Mr Eggers for the following reasons:
• His fierce determination and resilience have been critical to advancing TTR through
the complex stages of discovery, resource definition, feasibility studies, capital raisings
and funding and development of the offshore iron sands project - demonstrating
leadership, persistence and problem-solving ability essential for effective board
oversight of investment in high-risk, long-term resources projects.
• His ability to navigate technical, regulatory, permitting, environmental approvals and
operational challenges are vital to ensuring project continuity and strategic delivery
under board direction; and
• His in-depth knowledge and understanding of TTR and its business will be instrumental
in shaping the Company’s development.
The Board has reviewed the performance of Mr Eggers as the Director standing for re-election
and has endorsed his nomination as a candidate for re-election.
Additional Information
Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution, requiring it to be passed by a simple majority of votes
cast by the Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in
the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).
The Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 2.
Resolution 3
RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SECURITY SHARES
Background Information
On 6 June 2025, the Company announced it had secured funding via a Convertible Note
subscription in the Company for up to $250,000 to strengthen the Company’s balance sheet.
Breakout Star Holdings Pty Ltd (Breakout) was the sole participant in this raising.
On 5June 2025, the Company issued 10,000,000 Shares (Security Shares) under its Listing
Rule 7.1 placement capacity, to Breakout at a deemed issue price of $0.06 per Share as
security to secure the Company’s obligations under the Note Subscription.
16
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of
10,000,000 Shares.
ASX Listing Rule Information
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
securities the listed entity had on issue at the start of that 12-month period.
The issue of the Security Shares did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of issue.
The issue of the Security Shares does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.2
and, as they have not been approved by Shareholders, this issue effectively uses up part of
the Company’s 15% placement capacity in Listing Rule 7.1, thereby reducing the Company’s
capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1
for the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Security Shares.
Listing Rule 7.4 allows shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity
securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If shareholders approve the resolution,
the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the
company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under
Listing Rule 7.1.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity
securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under
Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing
Rule 7.4 for the prior issue of the Security Shares.
Technical Information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Security Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company
15% placement capacity in Listing Rule 7.1 effectively increasing the number of equity
securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period
following the issue date.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Security Shares will be included in calculating the Company
15% placement capacity in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity
securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period
following the issue date.

Board Recommendation
The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3. Restoring the
Company’s placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides continued flexibility to
raise additional capital, if required without the delay or expense of seeking further Shareholder
approval.
The issue was completed on arm’s length commercial terms and conditions, and ratification is
in the best interest of the Company and therefore, Shareholders.
Additional Information
Resolution 3 is an ordinary resolution, requiring it to be passed by a simple majority of votes
cast by the Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in
the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).
The Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 3.
18
Resolution 4
RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF a CONVERTIBLE NOTE
Background Information
As summarised in Resolution 3 above, the Company negotiated funding terms with Breakout
Star Holdings Pty Ltd, whereby the entity agreed to provide the Company with up to $250,000
via subscription for a Convertible Note in the Company with a face value of $1.10 per
Convertible Note.
The terms and conditions of the Convertible Note are set out in Annexure A.
The raising was completed in a single tranche, having regard to the level of cash resources at
that time. On the 5 June a 250,000 Convertible Note was issued to Breakout Star Holdings
Pty Ltd under the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1 placement capacity.
As at the date of this Notice, the Company confirms the Note has not converted into Shares.
10,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares were issued to the noteholder as part of the note
arrangement (refer Resolution 3) and the noteholder subsequently sold those shares. The
noteholder elected to sell the shares rather than retain them, to recover the investment and
discharge the outstanding note obligation.
The Convertible Note has been fully repaid with no residual debt or conversion rights
remaining, that is it has now been extinguished.
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of
one (1) $250,000 Convertible Note.
ASX Listing Rule Information
A summary of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4 is set out in Resolution 3 above.
The Convertible Note is classified as an equity security as it is convertible into Shares.
The issue of the Note did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of issue.
The issue of the Note does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.2
and, as the issue has not yet been approved by Shareholder, it effectively uses up the 15%
limited in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
By ratifying the issue, the issue will be taken to have been approved under ASX Listing 7.1
and therefore, does not reduce the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities
without Shareholder approval
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity
securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under
Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to
Listing Rule 7.4 for the prior issue of the Note.
If the issue of the Convertible Note is approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.4, when
the underlying shares are issued upon conversion, the issue will fall within Listing Rule 7.2
exception 9 and will require no further approvals under Listing Rule 7.1, no matter when
conversion occurs.
Technical Information required by ASX Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 4 is passed, the Convertible Note will be excluded in calculating the Company
15% placement capacity in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity
securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period
19
following the issue date. The Company’s financial flexibility in the future will be increased.
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Convertible Note will be included in calculating the Company
15% placement capacity in Listing Rule 7.1 effectively decreasing the number of equity
securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period
following the issue date.
Technical Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in
relation to Resolution 4:
(a) The Note was issued to Breakout Star Holdings Pty Ltd (or their nominee/s). Breakout
Star Holdings Pty Ltd is not a related party, key management personnel, an adviser to
the Company, substantial holder, or issued more than 1% of the Company’s issued
capital (or an associate of any of the foregoing).
(b) One (1) $250,000 Convertible Note was issued under the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1
placement capacity.
(c) The Note has a face value of $274,726 at a subscription price of $1.00 per Convertible
Note for a total consideration of $250,000 before costs.
(d) While the Convertible Note was originally due to mature on 31 July 2025, Breakout
Holdings Pty Ltd sold the 10,000,000 Security Shares under the Note terms and
applied the sale proceeds against the principal and interest. As a result, the Note has
now been fully paid out and has been extinguished.
(e) Interest of 12% per annum is payable by the Company on an annual basis.
(f) The Note was issued on the terms and conditions of the Term Sheet as set out in
Annexure A.
(g) The Note is convertible into 4,578,767 Shares
1
. Any Shares issued on conversion
shall be issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares
and rank equally with the existing Shares in the Company.
Conversion is at the election of Breakout Star Holdings Pty Ltd.
.....................................................................................................
1
The Note is convertible into 4,578,767 Shares. ($274,726/$0.06)
(h) The purpose of the issue of the Note was to raise up to $250,000 to strengthen the
Company’s balance sheet.
(i) The Note is not listed and has no voting rights.
(j) Voting exclusion statement for Resolution 4 has been included in the Notice.
Clarification of Convertible Note Structure
The Company notes the Appendix 3G issued on 6 June 2025 refers to the issue of “250,000
convertible notes”. To clarify, this was a drafting error – the Company issued one (1) $250,000
convertible note. The reference to “250,000 convertible notes” in the Appendix 3G was to
denote the aggregate value of the Convertible Note ($250,000) rather than the number of
notes.
Board Recommendation
The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4. Restoring the
20
Company’s placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides continued flexibility to
raise additional capital, if required without the delay or expense of seeking further Shareholder
approval.
The issue was completed on arm’s length commercial terms and conditions, and ratification is
in the best interest of the Company and therefore, Shareholders.
Additional Information
Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution, requiring it to be passed by a simple majority of votes
cast by the Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in
the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).
The Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 4.
RESOLUTION 5

Convertible Notes in the Company for up to $1 million to strengthen the Company’s balance
sheet, support general business operations whilst refinancing of core debt facilities and
develop the restart of gold production at Mt Boppy.
GAM Company Pty Ltd (GAM) was the sole participant in this raising.
The maturity date of the Convertible Notes was 14 May 2025.

GAM at a deemed issue price of $0.06 per Share as collateral to secure the Company’s
obligations under the Notes Subscription.
Shareholders ratified the issue of the 31,000,000 Collateral Shares at the 29 May 2025
General Meeting.
On 28 May 2025, the Company and Admin Reg Holdings Pty Ltd agreed to terms to extend
the maturity date of the Convertible Notes to 26 July 2025 and in recognition of agreeing to
this extension, the Company agreed to issue 12,800,000 Extension Collateral Shares.
Admin Reg Holdings Pty Ltd sold the Extension Collateral Shares and applied the proceeds
against the Convertible Note principle; the Note has now been fully paid out.
Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the
12,800,000 Shares.
ASX Listing Rule Information
A summary of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4 is set out in Resolution 3 above.
The issue of the Shares did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of issue.
The issue of the Shares does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule
7.2 and, as the issue has not yet been approved by Shareholder, it effectively uses up the 15%
limited in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
By ratifying the issue, the issue will be taken to have been approved under ASX Listing 7.1
21
and therefore, does not reduce the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities
without Shareholder approval.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity
securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under
Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to
Listing Rule 7.4 for the prior issue of the Extension Collateral Shares.
Technical Information required by ASX Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 5 is passed, the Extension Collateral Shares will be excluded in calculating the
Company 15% placement capacity in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of
equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month
period following the issue date. The Company’s financial flexibility in the future will be
increased.
If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Extension Collateral Shares will be included in calculating
the Company 15% placement capacity in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number
of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month
period following the issue date.

Resolution 13
RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES TO CREDITOR MCPAUL FAMILY PTY LTD
Background Information
On 5 August 2025, the Company issued 692,872 fully paid Ordinary Shares at a deemed issue
price of $0.043 per Share to Anthony McPaul, a former director of the Company, in satisfaction
of outstanding directors’ fees accrued prior to his retirement on 3 December 2024.
This issue occurred on 5 August 2025, more than eight months after his retirement. As
Anthony McPaul was no longer a director or related party of the Company at the time of the
issue, Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is not required.
The issue enabled the Company to preserve cash resources and strengthen its Balance Sheet
by settling liabilities through the issue of equity rather than cash.
Resolution 13 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the
692,872 Shares.
ASX Listing Rule Information

The issue of the Shares did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of issue.

7.2 and, as the issue has not yet been approved by Shareholder, it effectively uses up the 15%
limited in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
By ratifying the issue, the issue will be taken to have been approved under ASX Listing 7.1
and therefore, does not reduce the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities
without Shareholder approval.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity
securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under
Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to
36
Listing Rule 7.4 for the prior issue of the Shares in satisfaction of outstanding director fees.
Technical Information required by ASX Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 13 is passed, the Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company 15%
placement capacity in Listing Rule 7.1 , effectively increasing the number of equity securities
the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the
issue date. The Company’s financial flexibility in the future will be increased.
If Resolution 13 is not passed, the Shares will be included in calculating the Company15%
placement capacity in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities
the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the
issue date.

Resolution 16
APPROVAL OF PROPOSED ISSUE OF SHARES AND OPTIONS ON CONVERSION OF
CONVERTIBLE LOANS
Background Information
The Company received firm commitments from loan funding of $509,400 under convertible
loan agreements with sophisticated investors to raise funds for working capital and care and
maintenance programs (Convertible Loan Agreement).
The Company entered into nine (9) Convertible Loan Agreements with unrelated sophisticated
investors for a total principal amount of $509,400. Each of the Convertible Loan Agreements
was entered into on substantially the same terms and a summary of the material terms are
detailed below:
Face value per Note Various for an aggregate total of $509,400
Issue date Between 24 September 2024 and 30 October
2024
Maturity date 15 December 2025
Interest rate 15% per annum
Underlying Terms
42
The Lender will lend the Loan Amount to the
Borrower, and be entitled to nominate one of the
following to complete the transaction:
• Full repayment of the Loan Amount plus
interest, or
• Conversion of the Loan Amount plus interest
into shares at 4,3 cents per share plus two free
6 cent options on or before 15 May 2026 for
every share converted, or
• In the event the Lender raises equity during
the term of this Convertible Loan on terms
deemed by the Lender to be more favourable,
the Lender will be entitled to have those terms
applied to the Conversion of the Loan Amount
plus interest.
Conversion price $0.043 per Share
Purpose of funds raised Working capital and care and maintenance
programs
Status of issue Convertible Loans remain on issue as at the date
of this Notice
The issue of the Convertible Loans and the underlying securities was not announced to the
ASX at the time and no Appendix 3B was lodged. As a result, the Company did not disclose
the existence and material terms of the agreements when they were entered into.
Under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, Exception 16 permits an issue of securities under an agreement
to issue securities without Shareholder approval where the entity complied with the Listing
Rules at the time it entered into the agreement and disclosed its material terms.
As the Company did not make that disclosure at that time, it cannot rely on Exception 16 for
the issue of shares and options upon conversion of the Convertible Loan Agreements. The
Company is therefore seeking Shareholder approval for those issues at this Meeting to ensure
compliance with the Listing Rules and provide full transparency to Shareholders.
The Company confirms that, at the time of issue, there was sufficient placement capacity under
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 to make the issues without breaching the Listing Rules.
As per the terms of the Convertible Loan Agreement, lenders can convert the outstanding
amount on the loan amount plus any accrued interest by 15 December 2025 to equity in the
Company.
Interest is accruing at a rate of 15% per annum calculated for the number of days from the
receipt of funds to maturity date. Assuming Shareholder approval is obtained at this Meeting,
the Shares and Options on conversion will be issued as soon as possible after the Meeting
and in any event, the Company will not issue any Securities later than three (3) months after
the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or
modification of the Listing Rules).
On 15 December 2025, the total interest accrued prior to repayment will be $88,867.40 and
the total amount outstanding, including interest will be $598,267.40
The Company now seeks Shareholder approval for the proposed future issue of Shares and
Options upon conversion of the existing Convertible Loans (Conversion Securities).
Resolution 16 provides the Company with flexibility under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 to issue the
underlying Conversion Securities without using its existing 15% placement capacity at the time
of conversion.
43
If Shareholder approval is not obtained for the conversion, the outstanding amounts in respect
of the Convertible Loans will be repayable in cash following the Meeting.
The funds raised under the Convertible Loan Agreements were used towards working capital
requirements and the continuance of care and maintenance programs. These funds have
been fully utilised at the date of this Notice.
Subject to Shareholder approval of the conversion the subject of Resolution 16, the Company
will issue an aggregate of up to:
.
(a) 13,913,199 Shares at a deemed issue price of $0.043 on conversion of the principal
balance and accrued interest; and
(b) 27,826,398 Options each of which is exercisable at $0.06 at any time on or before
5.00pm (Sydney time) on 15 May 2026 into a Share.
to the unrelated parties who hold the Convertible Loans.
ASX Listing Rule Information
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.
The issue of the Convertible Securities does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing
Rules 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, effectively uses up part of
the Company's placement capacity under Listing Rules 7.1. This reduces the Company's
capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rules
7.1 for the 12-month period following the issue of the Placement Shares.
Technical Information required by ASX Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 16 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the proposed issue of Conversion
Securities without using up any of its 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder
approval under Listing Rule 7.1. In addition, the issue will be excluded from the calculation of the number
of Equity Securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 16 is not passed, the Company will be required to repay the outstanding amounts under
the Convertible Loan Agreement in cash.

preserves the Company’s placement capacity for future capital raising together with the
Company’s current cash resources. Accordingly, the Directors recommend that Shareholders
vote in favour of Resolution 16.
Additional Information

the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

Background to Resolutions 17 and 18
On 21 October 2025, the Company announced it would be undertaking a placement of a total
of 200,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.075 per Share to a number of institutional,
sophisticated and professional investors to raise approximately $15 million (before costs)
(Placement).
The Placement will be conducted in two tranches. The first tranche comprised a total of
34,441,027 Shares and was issued under the Company’s existing placement capacity under
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (Tranche 1 Placement Shares). The Tranche 1 Placement Shares were
issued on 28 October 2025.
Ratification of Tranche 1 Placement Shares is the subject of Resolution of 17 of this Notice.
The second tranche will comprise up to 165,558,973 Shares (Tranche 2 Placement Shares)
and is subject to Shareholder approval. Approval of the issue of Tranche 2 Placement Shares
is the subject of Resolution 18 of this Notice.
Funds raised from the Placement are to be used progress workstreams relating to the restart
of the Wonawinta processing plant, the commencement of the Company’s 10-year Cobar
Basin Production Plan, repayment of debt, continued progression of Trans-Tasman
Resources through the New Zealand Fast-track approval process, working capital, costs of
the Placement and other strategic objectives.
The Company has appointed Bell Potter Securities Pty Ltd (ABN 25 006 390 772) (Bell Potter)
to act as lead manager to the Placement pursuant to a lead manager mandate dated 16
October 2025 (Lead Manager Mandate).
Pursuant to the Lead Manager Mandate, in consideration for lead manager services provided,
the Company agreed to pay the Lead Manager:
(a) a management fee of 2% of the total funds raised under the Placement (Management
Fee) and
(b) a selling fee of 4% of the total funds raised under the Placement (Selling Fee).
The Lead Manager Mandate otherwise contains terms which are considered standard for an

RULE 7.1
Resolution 17 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify
the issue of 34,441,027 Tranche 1 Placement Shares at an issue price of $0.075 per Share to
raise $2,550,000 as described above.

ASX Listing Rule Information

The issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of
issue.
The issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares does not fall within any of the exceptions set
out in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 and, as the issue has not yet been approved by Shareholder, it
effectively uses up the 15% limited in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
By ratifying the issue, the issue will be taken to have been approved under ASX Listing 7.1
and therefore, does not reduce the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities
without Shareholder approval.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity
securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under
Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to
Listing Rule 7.4 for the prior issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.
Technical Information required by ASX Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 17 is passed, the issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in
calculating the Company 15% placement capacity in Listing Rules 7.1, effectively increasing
the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the
12-month period following the issue date.
If Resolution 17 is not passed, the Tranche 1 Placement Shares will continue to be included
in calculating the Company’s 15% placement capacity in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively
decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder
approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.

Additional Information
Resolution 18 is an ordinary resolution, requiring it to be passed by a simple majority of votes
cast by the Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in
the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).
The Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 18.
Resolutions 19(a), 19(b) and 19(c)
APPROVAL OF PROPOSED ISSUE OF INCENTIVE OPTIONS TO DIRECTORS
The Company has agreed, subject to the receipt of Shareholder approval, to issue a total of
42,500,000 options (the material terms of which are set out in Annexure D) (each, an Incentive
Option) under the Incentive Plan to Messrs Karp, Eggers and Seton, each a Director, or their
respective nominees.
The Incentive Plan was adopted by the Company in order to:
• assist the Company with the recruitment, retention, motivation and reward of officers,
executives and employees of the Company; and
• assist the Company to more closely align the interests of officers, executives and
employees of the Company with the interests of Shareholders.
The Board is confident that the proposed issue of Incentive Options to the Directors as
described above is consistent with and supports the above objectives.
Prescribed Disclosures
Listing Rule 10.14 states that a listed company must not permit any of the following persons
acquire securities under an employee incentive scheme without the prior approval of
Shareholders by an ordinary resolution:
• 10.14.1: a director of the entity.
• 10.14.2: an Associate of a director of the entity; or
• 10.14.3: a person whose relationship with the entity or a person referred to in Listing Rules
10.14.1 to 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the acquisition should be approved by
security holders.
The proposed issue of Incentive Options to the above-referred Directors falls within Listing
Rule 10.14.1 (i.e. as each of Messrs Karp, Eggers and Seton is a Director (and therefore, a
"Related Party" of the Company)) and as such requires Shareholder approval under Listing
Rule 10.14.
Resolutions 19(a), 19(b) and 19(c) seek Shareholder approval of the proposed issues of
Incentive Options for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14.
Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 19(a), 19(b) and 19(c) are passed, the Company will be permitted to issue the
Incentive Options the subject of those Resolutions under the Incentive Plan to each of the
above-referred Directors (or their respective nominees) within 36 months after the date of the
Meeting.
As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Incentive Options
(i.e. because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.14), the proposed issue of
Incentive Options under the Incentive Plan will not use up any of the Company's 15%
placement capacity.
51
If Resolutions 19(a), 19(b) and 19(c) are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed
with the proposed issue of Incentive Options and will have to consider other methods to
incentivise Messrs Karp, Eggers and Seton (which will likely be in the form of cash bonuses).
Technical Information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.15
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is
provided in relation to Resolutions 19(a), 19(b) and 19(c):

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that for a public company, or an entity that the
public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company,
the public company or entity must:
• obtain the approval of the public company's members in the manner set out in sections
217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
• give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216
of the Corporations Act.
The issue of the Incentive Options constitutes giving a financial benefit as the recipients are
related parties of the Company.
Section 210 of the Corporations Act provides that shareholder approval under section 208 is
not required if the financial benefit to be provided to the related party is on terms that would
be reasonable in the circumstances if the company and the related party were dealing at arm's
length or are less favourable than those terms.
Section 211 of the Corporations Act provides that shareholder approval under section 208 is
not required if the financial benefit to be provided to the related party is remuneration as an
officer or employee of the company and to give remuneration would be reasonable given the
circumstances of the company giving the remuneration and the related party's circumstances
(including responsibilities involved in the office or employment).
53
The Board (with each of Messrs Karp, Eggers and Seton absent from any deliberation in
relation to any matter in which they have a material interest) has determined that the issuance
of the Incentive Options the subject of Resolutions 19(a), 19(b) and 19(c) satisfy the above-
referred exceptions.
For these reasons, the Company considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E
of the Corporations Act is not required.
Board Recommendation
Messrs Karp, Eggers and Seton, being the Directors receiving the Incentive Options decline
to make a recommendation on the basis they have a person interest in the outcome of
Resolutions 19(a), 19(b) and 19(c) respectively.
Additional Information
Resolutions 19(a), 19(b) and 19(c) are ordinary resolutions, requiring it to be passed by a
simple majority of votes cast by the Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by
proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).
Resolution 20
APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT FACILITY
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A enables an eligible entity to seek approval from its Shareholders, by
way of a special resolution passed at an AGM to increase the 15% limit allowed for under ASX
Listing 7.1 by an extra 10% to 25% (ASX Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate).
An eligible entity is an entity which is not included in the S&P ASX 300 Index, and which has
a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. As at the date of this Notice, Manuka is an
eligible entity for these purposes.
Resolution 20 seeks Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution for Manuka to have
the additional 10% placement capacity provided for in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity
Securities without Shareholder approval.
At the date of this Notice of Meeting, Manuka has on issue 1,067,384,853 Shares and subject
to Shareholder approval being obtained under Resolution 16, the number of Equity Securities
that can be issued in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will be 106,738,485.
Information required by ASX Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 20 is approved by Shareholders, Manuka will be able to issue Equity Securities
up to the combined 25% limit in ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further
Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 20 is not approved by Shareholders, Manuka will not be able to access the
additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under ASX
Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing equity securities without
Shareholder approval set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Technical Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided
in relation to Resolution 20:
(a) Period for which the ASX Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate is valid.
The ASX Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate will commence on the date of the 2025 AGM (27
November 2025) and will expire on the first to occur of the following:
54
(i) the date that is 12 months after the date of this 2025 AGM: or
(ii) the time and date of the Company’s next AGM; or
(iii) the time and date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX
Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or ASX
Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
(b) Minimum Issue Price
The Equity Securities to be issued under the ASX Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate must be:
• In an existing class of Equity Securities quoted on the ASX. As at the date of this
Notice, Manuka has only one class of ASX quoted Equity Securities, being fully paid
Ordinary Shares.
• For a cash consideration per security.
• At an issue price not less than 75% of the volume weighted average price (VWAP) of
Equity Securities in that class calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in
that class were recorded immediately before:
(i) the date on which the price at which Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed
between Manuka and the recent of the Securities; or
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within ten (10) ASX trading days of the date
in paragraph 1 above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
(c) Use of Funds under the ASX Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate
Manuka will issue Equity Securities under the ASX Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate as cash
consideration and the funds raised will be directed towards drilling, geophysics and soil
across all current exploration projects, as well as towards tenement administration, new
mineral project acquisitions and working capital.
(d) Risk of Economic and Voting Dilution
An issue of Equity Securities under the ASX Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate will dilute the
interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.
If Resolution 20 is approved by Shareholders and Manuka issues the maximum number of
Equity Securities available under the ASX Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate, the economic and
voting dilution of existing Shares would be shown in the table below.
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with
the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 based on the closing market price of Shares
and the number of Equity Securities on issue on 13 October 2025.

*The number of Shares on issue could increase because of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder
approval (such as under a pro rata rights issue or shares issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with
Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
The following assumptions were made when preparing the dilution table:
1. There are currently 1,067,384,853 Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice.
2. The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only
of Shares.
3. The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under
the 10% Placement Capacity.
4. No Options are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity
Securities.
5. The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the
issued share capital at the time of issue. Therefore, the voting dilution is shown
in each example as 10%.
6. The table does not show the dilution affect that may be caused to a Shareholder.
7. The table only shows the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule
7.1A not under the 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1; and
8. The issue price of $0.075 is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 13
October 2025
There is a risk the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities may be significantly
lower on the issue date than on the date the AGM and the Company’s Equity Securities
may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price on the date of issue, which
may influence the amount of funds raised by the issue of Equity Securities under the ASX
Listing Rule Mandate 7.1A.
(e) Allocation Policy under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate.
Manuka’s allocation policy for the issue of the Equity Securities under the ASX Listing Rule
7.1A Mandate will be dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of the
proposed placement.
The persons to whom Equity Securities can be issued to under the ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
Mandate have not been determined as at the date of this Notice. Recipients of Equity
Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom
will be related parties of the Company.
The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the ASX Listing
Rule 7.1A Mandate, having regard to the following factors:
(i) the purpose of the issue.
(ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to Manuka at that
time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other
offer where existing Shareholders may participate.
56
(iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of
Manuka.
(iv) the circumstances of Manuka, including, but not limited to, the
financial position and solvency of Manuka.
(v) prevailing market conditions; and
(vi) advice from corporate, financial, and broking advisers (if
applicable)
(f) Calculation of Equity Securities
The calculation of the number of Equity Securities permitted to be issued in accordance
with the ASX Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate is a moving calculation and will be based on the
formula set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2. The formula is:
(A x D) – E
A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement being
the relevant period:
o plus, the number of fully paid shares issued in the relevant period under an
exception in Listing Rule 7.2 other than exceptions 9,16 or 17.
o plus, the number of fully paid shares issued in the relevant period on conversion
of convertible securities within Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 9 where:
1. the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the
commencement of the relevant period; or
2. the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities approved,
or taken to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
o plus, the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the relevant period
under an agreement to issue securities with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 16
where:
1. the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the
relevant period; or
2. the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under these rules to
have been approved, under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4.
o plus, the number of fully paid shares issued in the relevant period with approval
of holders of Shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4 (which does not include the
10% Placement Capacity).
o plus, the number of partly paid Shares that become fully paid in the relevant
period.
o less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the relevant period.
Note that A has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15%
Placement Capacity.
D is 10%.
E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued
under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the relevant period where the issue or
agreement to has not been subsequently approved by Shareholders
under ASX Listing Rule 7.4.
(g) Previous approval under Listing Rule 7.1A
57
The Company has previously obtained Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule
7.1A at the annual general meeting held on 28 November 2024.
Since Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A was obtained and as at the date
of this Notice, the Company has not issued any Equity Securities under ASX Listing 7.1A.
Voting Exclusion
A voting exclusion statement has not been included in this Notice.
At the date of the Notice, the Company is not proposing to make an issue of Equity Securities
under Listing Rule 7.1A and has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or
Security holder or an identifiable class of existing Security holder to participate in any such
issue.
In the event that between the date of this Notice and the date of the Meeting, the Company
proposes to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A to one or more existing
Shareholders, those Shareholders’ votes will be excluded under the voting exclusion
statement in the Notice
Board Recommendation of the Board
The Board recommends Shareholder’s vote in favour of Resolution 5, as it allows the
Company flexibility to issue Shares representing up to 10% of Manuka’s Share capital during
the next 12 months at a discount to the then market price in circumstances where it might
otherwise be subjected to the cost, delay, and uncertainty of having to go back to Shareholders
for approval.
The additional flexibility and speed to conduct capital raising will better position the Company
to pursue interests in the prevailing difficult market conditions.
Additional Information
Resolution 20 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast
by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case
of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).
The Chair intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 20.

Shareholders of the proposed Resolutions set out in the Notice. The Directors recommend
