The company releases its prospectus. The Prospectus outlines a pro-rata non-renounceable rights offer for approximately 3.49 billion Shares at $0.01 each, aiming to raise $34.9 million. It includes Shortfall Offer opportunities and Lead Manager Options, conditional on Shareholder approval by April 29, 2026.

The company plans a recapitalisation through a partially underwritten A$34.9 million equity raise, employing a five-for-one entitlement offer at A$0.010 per share, a 65% discount to the 10-day VWAP. Key stakeholders, including Boneyard, Wamco, and SMAO, provide underwriting support via debt-to-equity conversions. The minimum subscription of A$15.3 million aims to reduce debt and enhance working capital, while operational updates indicate a focus on improving production efficiency and targeting higher-value markets.

The company announces that the indicative timetable for the A$34.9 million pro-rata non-renounceable entitlement offer, revealed on 20 March 2026, will not proceed as planned. The Company is reassessing its schedule and will issue a revised timetable shortly.

The company requests an extension of its voluntary suspension until May 8, 2026, to complete its Recapitalisation. Trading prior to completion risks uninformed market conditions, which could jeopardize the company's financial viability. No objections to the extension are known.
