New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 48% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (48% increase in shares outstanding).

Priority Lithium Drilling Targets Defined At Higginsville Argonaut Resources NL advised that field work undertaken in October 2022 has returned highly encouraging Lithium-Caesium-Tantalum (LCT) pegmatite exploration results within the Darson Pegmatite Swarm at its 80% held Higginsville project in Western Australia. Argonaut is currently seeking approvals for an RC drilling program targeting LCT Pegmatites at the Darson prospect.Additional soil and rock-chip sampling targeting LCT pegmatites will be undertaken at the Darson area early in the New Year, with the objective of delineating additional targets. Argonaut is fully funded to proceed to drill the lithium targets. Argonaut commissioned geochemist Dr Nigel Brand3, a recognised expert in Western Australian LCT pegmatite geochemistry, to analyse the results of recent field work at Darson. Dr Brand concluded: A combination of LCT elements and host lithic elements combined to generate a Prospectivity Index has identify areas of probable LCT mineralisation within five parallel trends. Modelling of the soil data indicate that the Li, Be and Cs represent the highly fractionated portion (Zone 4 and Zone 5) of the LCT pegmatite whilst Nb and Ta are proximal (Zone 3 and Zone 4) based on Cerny 1991 diagram4. Rock chip classification indicates "fertile granites" along two trends and potentially represents the outer shell of a fractionated pegmatite. The recommendations that resulted from Dr Brand's analysis are: Further systematic regional soil sampling should be considered to identified any near surface potential pegmatite trends. Drill testing of the defined area of interest [Darson South] and trends [Darson Central and Darson North] should be considered as a high priority. Nigel Brand is the co-author of several papers regarding LCT pegmatite exploration and discovery in the area of the Pioneer Dome. Dr Brand has worked extensively in the area with several explorers as a consulting geochemist. Fieldwork undertaken by Argonaut during February 2022 and September/October 2022 has defined an extensive swarm of LCT pegmatites up to 150m in width extending over an aggregate strike length of two kilometres. The pegmatites are located near the margin of the Pioneer Granite. The Pioneer Granite caused the emplacement of LCT pegmatites at the Dome North lithium deposit and at Sinclair, which was previously mined for Caesium. Following the success of initial scouting traverses over the Darson area of E15/1489 in February 2022, detailed mapping was undertaken during September and October 2022 in conjunction with a soil sampling program. This recent geological mapping identified several previously unrecorded LCT pegmatite occurrences including a particularly large pegmatite measuring ~400m in strike length and ~150m in width at Darson Central. The mapping program delineated three distinct types of pegmatite: Darson South: contact pegmatites, occurring either on or nearby to the margin of the Pioneer Granite. Darson Central: wide, potentially voluminous pegmatites which occur 300 to 600m from the granite margin. Hosted in muscovite-biotite schist. Darson East: medium to fine grained pegmatites occurring within a meta-basalt approximately 800m from the granite margin. A soil sampling program was completed over the Darson pegmatite swarm during September and October 2022. 278 soil samples sieved to #40 mesh plus QA/QC samples were collected from in-situ (residual) soil profiles. The Darson Pegmatite Swarm is well located amongst numerous significant lithium Resources in the Coolgardie-Norseman LCT Province, Western Australia. Importantly, the pegmatites identified and sampled at date are within the "Goldilocks Zone", an area radially outboard of particular granites within the Yilgarn Craton, WA. The area features the Bald Hill lithium tantalum mine, the Mount Marion lithium mine and the Buldania lithium project, as well the nearby Dome North lithium Resource. The Darson prospect is adjacent to a sealed highway and rail line and benefits from being in the Tier-1 mining jurisdiction of Western Australia. Argonaut is preparing to undertake a heritage clearance for a reverse circulation (RC) drilling program to test Darson South, Darson Central and Darson East for lithium mineralisation. This drilling program is expected to commence by second quarter 2023. The RC drilling program will involve traverses of angled RC holes to approximately 100m depth to test the most prospective mapped pegmatites. Access to the site is excellent via existing roads. Argonaut has significant existing experience drilling at E15/1489. On receipt of heritage clearance, Argonaut will submit a program of works covering approximately 5,000m of RC plus contingent diamond core drilling for approval by the WA government. Additional soil and rock-chip sampling targeting LCT pegmatites will be undertaken at the Darson area early inthe New Year. Soil sampling will infill existing anomalies, target new prospective zones with an ultramafic magnetic signature, and cover regional areas. The initial RC drilling program is not contingent on this work. Announcement • Dec 16

Judicial Review: Argonaut's subsidiary, Mwombezhi, filed an application in the Zambian High Court for judicial review (High Court for Zambia, Principal Registry, Holden at Lusaka, file number 2022/HP/1613) of the Minister's apparent inaction in deciding an appeal dated January 2022. The appeal of January 2022 is against the cancellation of large-scale exploration licence 22399-HQ-LEL, Lumwana West, and the hasty and illegal grant of a new licence over the same area. The judicial review has proceeded through the Zambian High Court, firstly via an order to extend the time available to Mwombezhi to apply for judicial review and secondly by the grant of leave for judicial review. The court has further ordered that the grant of leave for judicial review operates as a stay of execution of the decisions by the Zambian Government to both cancel 22399-HQ-LEL, Lumwana West, and grant a new licence over the same area to a different entity. The stay suspends the purported cancellation of the Lumwana West licence. The stay is in operation until the determination of the judicial review or further order of the court. Following the grant of leave, the court proceeded to issue directions regarding the judicial review and set an expedited hearing date of 30 January 2023. Announcement • Oct 30

Argonaut Resources Nl Announces Lumwana West License Update Argonaut Resources NL has become aware that Large-scale Exploration Licence 22399-HQ-LEL, Lumwana West, was not renewed by the Zambian Government on 28 December 2021 as expected. This licence area contains the Nyungu deposit. At the time of the purported cancellation, the Company's 90% held subsidiary, Mwombezhi Resources Ltd, was operating in full compliance with all licence conditions and other regulatory requirements. However, Argonaut's Zambian lawyers have discovered that key compliance documents provided by the Company to its Zambian shareholders for filing were not submitted as required and this appears to have led to the cancellation of the licence. The circumstances in which these documents were withheld appears to constitute a fraud. Amongst five Zambian entities that hold a collective 10% shareholding in Mwombezhi Resources Ltd. are Christopher Mulusa and Stafford Mulusa, MP for Solwezi Central and Government Chief Whip. The Company is aware that Stafford Mulusa was a respondent in two recent court proceedings: 2019/HPC/225 (mortgage proceedings); and 2019/HPC/497 (unpaid arrears on a lease). Argonaut has also learned that a new licence over the Lumwana West area was hurriedly and potentially corruptly granted to a recently registered company with no apparent financial or technical capacity. Argonaut had a history of raising and investing significant amounts of money in the rigorous technical investigation of the Lumwana West licence area, particularly the Nyungu deposit. The Company had commenced the fast-tracking of a feasibility study into a commercial mining operation at the site via a team of internationally known experts. It would appear to be against the national interests of Zambia to stop this process. Argonaut has lodged an appeal against the grant of the new licence on the grounds of fraud and impropriety. The Company is also preparing a complaint to the Zambian Anti-Corruption Commission, and it is currently settling the legal documents necessary to sue its Zambian partners for breaches of contractual and fiduciary duties.

Argonaut Resources NL Provides Update from Murdie Project Argonaut Resources NL announced that drilling at WLTD002 which targeted the Smith Dam 2 gravity anomaly within the broader West Lake Torrens bouguer gravity anomaly (Figure 2) ceased at 853m. Drilling equipment and protective matting is currently being moved to the third drill hole, WLTD003, which is offshore from the south-eastern corner of Andamooka Island in South Australia. Basement rocks intercepted in drill hole WLTD002 feature breccia zones with moderate to strong hematite and potassic alteration. These observations are supported by portable XRF analysis. Brecciation is the breaking of rock into fragments that are then re-cemented by a matrix, in this case an iron-rich matrix. This process is generally considered to be a prerequisite to IOCG mineralisation. The system appears not to have been subject to destructive, paleo-erosion. The upper, prospective portion of the IOCG system appears to have been preserved. Drill holes WLTD001 and WLTD002 intercepted IOCG alteration at approximately the level within a system that possible economic IOCG mineralisation would be expected to occur. The intensity of alteration indicates that the first drill hole, WLTD001, was 300 to 1,000m from possible copper mineralisation. Announcement • Jun 17
Argonaut Resources Nl Announces update on Murdie Project Argonaut Resources N announced that drill hole WLTD002 is currently drilling through the targeted zone at the Smith Dam 2 gravity anomaly within the broader West Lake Torrens bouguer gravity anomaly. The presence of further IOCG alteration in the basement rocks of the West Lake Torrens gravity anomaly continues to provide encouragement to the Argonaut team. The 2021 Murdie drilling program has confirmed the presence of the critical prerequisites to the discovery of an IOCG deposit: · the same brecciated, hematite alteration system as Olympic Dam, Carrapateena and Oak Dam; · preservation, rather than erosion, of the IOCG system; and intersection at approximately the correct level within the system. Basement rocks intercepted in drill hole WLTD002 feature breccia zones with moderate to strong hematite and potassic alteration. These observations are supported by portable XRF analysis. Brecciation is the breaking of rock into fragments that are then re-cemented by a matrix, in this case an iron-rich matrix. This process is generally considered to be a prerequisite to IOCG mineralisation. The system appears not to have been subject to destructive, ancient erosion. The upper, prospective portion of the IOCG system appears to have been preserved. Drill holes WLTD001 and WLTD002 intercepted IOCG alteration at approximately the level within a system that possible economic IOCG mineralisation would be expected to occur. The intensity of alteration indicates that the first drill hole, WLTD001, was 300 to 1,000m from possible copper mineralisation. The host rock of the system is interpreted to be units of the Wallaroo Group. No significant copper mineralisation is visible in the basement drill core in WLTD002 although chalcopyrite was noted in the lower part of the cover geology. Gravity surveying and progressive modelling and re-modelling of high-density drilling targets is continuing. The gravity acquisition crew has completed the survey and de-mobilised. WLTD002 is second hole of an initial 4-5 hole program. Both WLTD001 and WLTD002 targeted residual gravity anomalies referred to on Figure 3 as Smith Dam 1 and Smith Dam 2 respectively. WLTD001 drill core has been cut and the samples are currently being submitted for assay. Drilling is being conducted 24/7 in two daily shifts. The Murdie exploration licences covers two largescale, regional gravity anomalies - West Lake Torrens and Murdie (Figure 1). These anomalies represent locations with significant volumes of high-density rock that could contain economic IOCG deposits. Efforts are being focused on the West Lake Torrens anomaly. Argonaut has identified seven excellent drilling targets at the West Lake Torrens anomaly. Drilling targets located near the shoreline of Lake Torrens are shown on Figure 3 as Smith Dam 1 to 4. Offshore targets are labelled Crystal Dam 1 to 3. Argonaut is drilling Smith Dam 1 and Smith Dam 2 first. Other targets will be prioritised on the basis of results. A volume of high-density rock causes a measurably higher gravitational pull at surface and this manifests as a gravity anomaly. Therefore, mineral explorers can use gravity surveys as a means to define gravity anomalies and potentially discover dense orebodies. IOCG orebodies contain high concentrations of iron and copper minerals making them particularly dense. The West Lake Torrens anomaly is a regional gravity anomaly. This type of anomaly is typically displayed as a "bouguer" gravity anomaly. The peak of the West Lake Torrens bouguer anomaly is 7 milligals above ackground levels. Announcement • May 17
Argonaut Resources NL Announces Drill Hole WLTD001 Has Intersected Highly Prospective Iron Oxide Copper-Gold (IOCG) Alteration System Argonaut Resources NL announced that drill hole WLTD001 has intersected a highly prospective iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG) alteration system. Argonaut pleased by the presence of an IOCG alteration system in the basement rocks of the West Lake Torrens gravity anomaly. Basement rocks feature pervasive hematite, sericite and chlorite alteration minerals, the same alteration assemblage as seen at Olympic Dam, Carrapateena and Oak Dam. The system is intermittently brecciated. Brecciation is the breaking of rock into fragments that are then re-cemented by a matrix, in this case an iron-rich matrix. This process is generally considered to be a prerequisite to IOCG mineralisation. The system appears not to have been subject to destructive, ancient erosion. The upper, prospective portion of the IOCG system appears to have been preserved. Drill hole WLTD001 intercepted the IOCG alteration at approximately the level within a system that possible economic IOCG mineralisation would be expected to occur. The intensity of alteration indicates that WLTD001 was 300 to 1,000m from possible copper mineralisation. The host rock of the system is an interpreted mafic volcano-sedimentary unit, possibly of the Wallaroo Group. No significant copper mineralisation is visible in the drill core. The density of this hematite-altered rock accounts for the Smith Dam 1 residual gravity anomaly. Gravity surveying and progressive modelling and re-modelling of high-density drilling targets is proceeding. The gravity acquisition crew is currently working south of the West Lake Torrens anomaly and directly east of the Carrapateena mine within EL 5937. WLTD001 was first hole of an initial 4-5 hole program and it targeted a residual gravity anomaly called Smith Dam 1. This drill hole was drilled to a total depth of 924m. The drill hole has been logged and basement core will soon be transported off-site for cutting and analysis. The drilling rig is currently being moved to a protective platform that is positioned over a residual gravity target called Smith Dam 2. This is the site of the second drill hole, WLTD002. The Murdie exploration licences covers two largescale, regional gravity anomalies West Lake Torrens and Murdie. These anomalies represent locations with significant volumes of high-density rock that could contain economic IOCG deposits. Efforts are being focused on the West Lake Torrens anomaly. Argonaut has identified seven excellent drilling targets at the West Lake Torrens anomaly. Offshore targets are labelled Crystal Dam 1 to 3. Argonaut is drilling Smith Dam 1 and Smith Dam 2 first.

Argonaut Resources NL Announces Drilling Contract to Undertake Deep Diamond Drilling At Murdie Copper Project in South Australia Argonaut Resources NL announced that it has executed a drilling contract to undertake deep diamond drilling at the Company's Murdie copper project in South Australia. Argonaut will proceed with a major exploration drilling program around the western shoreline of Lake Torrens and Andamooka Island. The drilling program will target iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG) copper mineralisation in the style of Olympic Dam, Carrapateena and BHP's recent Oak Dam discovery. The Murdie exploration licence covers two largescale, regional gravity anomalies - Murdie and West Lake Torrens. These anomalies represent locations with significant volumes of high-density rock that could contain economic IOCG deposits. Efforts are being focused on the West Lake Torrens anomaly. Drilling will target specific `residual gravity anomalies'. Residual anomalies are volumes of rock with a particularly high density that can be found within broader, regional anomalies. Details of residual gravity anomalies in the area of Carrapateena Well will be released once final processing and modelling has been completed. The track-mounted Sandvik DE740 drilling rig is capable of drilling cored holes to 1,800m. Drill holes are expected to be between 500 and 1,000m in depth. The contractor is currently sourcing the specialist equipment required for drilling in an environmentally sensitive location. Mobilisation to site is expected to occur in late February 2021. Geophysical crews have been working at the Murdie area since 20 October 2020. The crews are conducting a detailed ground gravity survey over selected areas to improve the accuracy of drill-target modelling. To date over 7,000 gravity stations have been surveyed including over the area of several confirmed drilling targets. A further 1,800 gravity stations will be surveyed in the coming weeks. Argonaut is pleased with both the results of the survey and the resolution of the data. Results of this work and its processing will be released when available. Argonaut Resources holds two highly prospective South Australian exploration licences, EL5937 and EL5945. The licences are contiguous with the Company's Torrens project in South Australia. The licence areas cover a confirmed IOCG target in an area known as Murdie as well as a second anomaly at West Lake Torrens. There are 54 known residual gravity targets within the area. The licences cover an area of 1,015 square kilometres and are located immediately south and east of the Torrens project and east of the Carrapateena mine. Announcement • Jan 04
