JORC Code
It is a requirement of the ASX Listing Rules that the reporting of ore reserves and mineral resources in Australia comply with the Joint Ore Reserves Committee's Australasian Code for Reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC Code). Investors outside Australia should note that while ore reserve and mineral resource estimates of the Company in this document comply with the JORC Code (such JORC Code-compliant ore reserves and mineral resources being "Ore Reserves" and "Mineral Resources" respectively), they may not comply with the relevant guidelines in other countries and, in particular, do not comply with (i) National Instrument 43-101 (Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects) of the Canadian Securities Administrators (the "Canadian NI 43-101 Standards"); or (ii) Industry Guide 7, which governs disclosures of mineral reserves in registration statements filed with the SEC. Information contained in this presentation describing mineral deposits may not be comparable to similar information made public by companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of Canadian or US securities laws. You should not assume that quantities reported as "resources" will be converted to reserves under the JORC Code or any other reporting regime or that the Company will be able to legally and economically extract them.
Exploration Targets
It should be noted that any Exploration Targets described in this presentation are conceptual in nature and there is insufficient information to establish whether further exploration will result in the determination of Mineral Resources. As a Cautionary Statement, an Exploration Target is a statement or estimate of the exploration potential of a mineral deposit in a defined geological setting where the statement or estimate, quoted as a range of tonnes and a range of grade, relates to mineralization where there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource. The potential quantity and grade of an Exploration Target is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to estimate an additional Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.
Competent Person Statement
The information in this Presentation that relates to Mineral Resource Estimations and Ore Reserves was prepared and reported in accordance with the ASX Announcements and News Releases referenced in this Presentation. The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the relevant ASX announcements and News Releases. In the case of Mineral Resource estimates and Ore Reserve estimates, all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates continue to apply and have not materially changed. The Company confirms that the form and context in which the Competent Persons' findings are presented have not been materially modified from the original ASX announcements or News Releases. The information in this Presentation, that relates to MBK Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Exploration Target statements is based on information compiled or reviewed by Mr Trevor Wright. Mr Wright is a contractor to the Company and eligible to participate in the Company's equity incentive plan. Mr Wright is a Member of The Australasian Institute of Geoscientists has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the 'Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves'. Mr Wright consents to the inclusion in this Presentation of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

Saudi Arabia Strategy: MBK's Proven Track Record
Ines Scotland is the former CEO of Citadel Resource Group which in partnership with Central Mining Holding Company (CMH) explored and developed the Jabal Sayid copper mine in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
To advance MBK's current exploration and development strategy in
KSA, the company has executed on the following initiatives:
- MBK has formed a JV Company with CMH to pursue opportunities in Saudi Arabia
- CMC the local JV company is capitalised to SAR5million (approximately $2.1m AUD)
- Awarded Wadi Al Junah in Licensing Round 6
- Exploration license applications completed for four areas of interest considered highly prospective for copper and gold

Saudi Arabia: The land of untapped potential
- Easy access to drilling rigs:three large drilling companies and several smaller companies operating on a project basis in Saudi
- ALS laboratory located in Jeddah, staffed 24/7 by fully-certified employees
- New mining code established in 2021:very user friendly and a system of refunding exploration expenditure for approved projects
- Saudi's state-ownedmining giant:Ma'aden is among the fastest-growing mining companies in the world and the largest multi-commodity mining and metals company in the Middle East1 - operating mines include:
- Jabal Sayid mined 2,732 million tonnes @ 2.67% Cu producing 150.7 million pounds of Cu in 2022
- Ad Duwayhi - produced 174,799 oz Au in 2022
- Al Amar - produced 27,443 oz Au in 2022
- Bulgah & Sukhaybarat - produced 74,372 oz Au in 2022
- Ma'aden exploration budget is approximately USD65 million this year
"We have been working hard on executing our MENA strategy which includes increasing our exploration footprint in the KSA, where the Arabian Shield is the same size as the Yilgarn with only a fraction of the exploration spend." Inés Scotland, MBK Chair
