The Company intends to apply for quotation of the Entitlement Options, which entitle the holder to purchase one ordinary share at an exercise price of A$0.075 for a period of 36 months from the date of issue.

The Entitlement Offer and was strongly supported by eligible shareholders, who applied for 38,148,166 new Shares, worth approximately A$1.9 million, pursuant to their entitlements.

The results of the Entitlement Offer are as follows:

Eligible shareholders who applied for their full entitlement under the Entitlement Offer were also able to apply for new shares in excess of their entitlement, through a shortfall offer (Shortfall Offer).

The Entitlement Offer is partially underwritten by Mr Alexander Molyneux, a director of the Company (Underwriter), for the amount of $125,000. Accordingly, the Underwriter will subscribe for 2,500,000 new Shares (with 2,500,000 Entitlement Options) of the 39,817,561 Shares (and resulting Entitlement Options) under the shortfall under the Entitlement Offer (Shortfall Securities) in accordance with the underwriting arrangement summarised in section 6.5 of the Company's prospectus dated 5 August 2022 issued in relation to the Entitlement Offer (Prospectus). 2,500,000 new Shares and 2,500,000 Entitlement Options will be issued to the Underwriter on 5 September 2022. Non-Executive Director Melanie Ross has also taken up her entitlements under the Entitlement Offer.

The Directors have exercised their discretion to allocate the Shortfall Securities pro rata to Shareholders who applied for Shares in excess of their entitlement in accordance with the allocation policy set out in section 2.7 of the Prospectus. Excess applications will be refunded to Shareholders without interest.

The remainder of the Entitlement Offer shortfall is being managed by both Peloton Capital Pty Ltd and Aesir Capital Pty Ltd, who acted as joint lead managers to the Entitlement Offer.

The A$3.9 million raised from the Entitlement Offer completes the second part of the A$4.9 million capital raising announced on 27 July 2022. As set out in the prospectus, the Company proposes to use the proceeds from the Entitlement Offer and Private Placement towards exploration activities at the company's projects in Canada and Ecuador as well as for general working capital purposes.

The New Shares under the Entitlement Offer and Shortfall Facility will be issued on 5 September 2022 and are expected to commence trading on the ASX on that date. All New Shares will rank equally with existing ordinary shares on issue.

The Placement Options are intended to be listed on the ASX and commence trading on 30 September 2022, subject to the Company obtaining shareholder approval for their issue at its upcoming general meeting.
