The company releases a reinstatement disclosure.

Following the Company's release of the maiden resource for Uley 3, the exploration plan has been updated to accommodate the further information obtained from the recent drill program and importantly reflects the Company's current geological modelling. Confidence in the exploration methodology has been increased by the successful resource delineation at Uley 3. The Uley 3 drilling program, completed in October 2021, was completed within the Company's Mining Leases (ML) 5561 and 5562.

The maiden Mineral Resource estimate (MRE) for Uley 3 following completion of the recent drilling program. The program targeted the Uley 3 geophysical anomaly1 , previously referred to as the Eastern Conductor. The MRE is reported under the JORC 2012 guidelines. The maiden MRE confirms the continuation of graphitic mineralisation to the east of Uley 2 along strike to the north of drill holes previously targeting the Eastern Conductor/Uley 3 geophysical anomaly. Mineralisation remains open along strike to the south and north and at depth, well within the company's Mining and Retention leases.

Rochelle Pattison has withdrawn her nomination to be a Director of the Company, accordingly the Board advises that it has withdrawn Resolutions 2(c) and 7(c) referred to in the Notice of Meeting dated 18 October 2021 from consideration at the 2021 Annual General Meeting. The withdrawal of these resolutions will have no material adverse impact on the Company and will not affect the validity of the proxy form provided in connection with the Meeting or any proxy already submitted in respect of the remaining items of business.

The company announces the details of the assay results of the first 3 drill holes: MD704, MD705 and MD706. The assay results returned consistent total graphitic carbon (TGC) grades and intercept widths. All of these intercepts are outside of the current Uley 2 resource, highlighting the significant potential for future resource growth. In future communications, the Company will refer to the Eastern Conductor as Uley 3, the historical name of this area of Uley mineralisation.

The company has successfully completed its Eastern Conductor drilling program including the rehabilitation of all drill holes. This program represents extensional drilling immediately to the east of the proposed Uley 2 pit. Drilling encountered significant graphitic intersections. The first set of results (MD704, MD705, MD706) of the drilling program are expected next week. Results from this program will have a significant impact on the Uley 2 expansion strategy. The option of extending Uley 2 to the east has a number of advantages including the speedy pathway to a very low-cost extension of the Uley 2 pit.

The company will hold its AGM as a virtual meeting at 11:00am (AWST) on Friday, 19 November 2021 online at https://agmlive.link/QGL21.

The company provides an initial update on the Uley Drilling (Eastern Conductor). Two holes completed as part of the Phase 1 drill program. Successful testing of the Eastern Conductor, confirming expected high grade graphitic intersections within the Cook Gap Schist. MD704 intersected several graphitic zones. MD705 also intersected several graphitic zones, geological logging of this hole is still in progress. Drilling so far confirms the orientation and mineralisation properties displayed in the previously drilled section, 50m to the south of the current drill line (9,475m grid N). Graphitic intersections present within the Phase 1 drill program are validation for the use of geophysical conductive anomalies as an indicator for potential graphite mineralisation.

The company mobilises its personnel, equipment and the drill rig for the diamond drill program over the Eastern Conductor.

The company appoints ACT Capital GmbH as its lead arranger and placement agent in connection with a bond offering for the financing of stage 1 of the Uley 2 process plant and related infrastructure. The funding structure proposed is a senior secured bond to be listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (LuxSE) Exchange regulated Euro MTF market. The security package will include the Uley 2 business and project assets. Chimaera Capital Markets has been retained as the Company's financial adviser and will work with ACT Capital to ensure timely completion of the key milestones.

The Company's filed its 2021 Half Yearly Financial Statements as required in March 2021 without any audit disclaimer or qualification. Despite satisfying the conditions set for requotation, the ASX has advised that the suspension will not be lifted until the initial drilling as outlined in the Company's announcement of 7 May 2021 is completed and the results from that drilling released to the market. The Board does not agree with the ASX's concerns in reaching its decision but will seek to satisfy this condition as soon as practicable whilst also continuing the other activities of the Company.

The Company has now confirmed the scope of Uley 2 extension drilling program. This program will be divided into two stages. Stage 1 will cover the southerly extension of the existing Uley 2 pit location and Stage 2, the Eastern Conductor. The precise location of drill holes is based on the Company's extensive geophysical survey data combined with the structural data generated from the 2014 Drill Program from which the existing JORC 2012 reserves and resources were derived. The scope of the further exploration of one other of the additional high grade graphite envelopes within EL 6224 has not been finalised and will be the subject of a further announcement once the Company has concluded its work.
