Over the past 3 months we’ve put a new board in place; raised capital for 18 months; sold a legacy asset; defined a new strategy to focus on our stunning Jupiter rare earth project, including securing its outright ownership; and changed the company name to Critica Limited. We are moving forwards with clear intent to add value for shareholders. Drilling at Jupiter will be completed in a few weeks, metallurgical test work is underway; and targeting our maiden resource by the end of the year. We welcome Merchant Ventures as a shareholder as they join us on this exciting journey with Jupiter and our bright, new future as Critica Limited.” Cleansing Notice The Company hereby gives notice under section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act, that: 1. the Company issued the Consideration Shares without disclosure to investors under Part 6D.2 of the Corporations Act; and 2. as at the date of this notice: a. the Company has complied with the provisions of Chapter 2M of the Corporations Act, as they apply to the Company; b. the Company has complied with sections 674 and 674A of the Corporations Act; and c. there is no excluded information, within the meaning of sections 708A(7) and 708A(8) of the Corporations Act, which is required to be disclosed by the Company in this notice.
