Trading update summary

Completed acquisition of 100% of the Georgina Basin IOCG Project, securing 2,500 km² of tenure and over 90 conceptual targets, with three advanced drill-ready targets.
Independent SRK valuation places the Georgina project at A$1.5–3.8 million, with a preferred value of A$2.7 million.
Leadership transition includes new executive director and non-executive chairman, with a refreshed focus on disciplined project evaluation and monetisation.
Portfolio-wide review underway to prioritise capital allocation, value catalysts, and strategic partnerships.
Project portfolio and joint ventures
Pilbara iron ore portfolio confirmed to host iron mineralisation at Vivash and Brockman, with strategic alternatives under review including advancement, partnerships, or divestment.
Retains 30% free-carried interests in Munni Munni PGM-copper and Elizabeth Hill Silver projects, limiting funding exposure and providing project advancement without near-term funding obligations.
Holds significant listed investments: 37.9 million GreenTech shares (10.12% of issue) and 30.5 million West Coast Silver shares (8.42% of issue), providing both direct and indirect project exposure.
Munni Munni hosts a historic resource of 2.2Moz PGM and gold; Elizabeth Hill is a past-producing high-grade silver mine.
Funding and capital management
Funding strategy prioritises monetisation of Pilbara iron ore assets via joint ventures, partnerships, or asset sales, with equity fundraising not currently planned.
Sale of listed investments in GreenTech and West Coast Silver is the least preferred funding option.
Free-carried interests in joint ventures mean no immediate funding required for Munni Munni or Elizabeth Hill.
Initial Georgina Basin work to be funded from existing cash flow; larger exploration programmes to be funded by leveraging or realising value from existing assets.
