Priorities

Requotation of the Company's Securities

Significant progress made with ASX. The Board has received draft conditions from the ASX for requotation. Subject to any material changes to these conditions, the Board expects to satisfy the conditions within the next 2 weeks.

European Bond Financing

ACT Capital and the Company are progressing key materials/documentation to obtain a rating for the proposed issue. Timing of funding remains dependent upon ratings agency approval of this documentation and the issue of a rating. The listing of the bonds on the LuxSE presents an additional layer of complexity but greatly enhances potential investor base.

Mineral Reserves and Resource Expansion, Key R&D Programs

Planning for mineral reserves and resource expansion within the broader EL6224 exploration lease underpins significant extension to Uley LOM.

Acceleration of R&D programs by increasing working relationships with our overseas partners. This overcomes two major limitations - continuous COVID-19 interruption and limited available of high temperature laboratory test working environments in Australia.
