APPENDIX 1 - EXTRACTS FROM ADMISSION DOCUMENT
The following information has been extracted, without material adjustment, from the Company's Admission Document dated 6 March 2025.
Introduction
On 21 June 2024, the Company announced its proposed acquisition of Switch Metals, a mining exploration company with assets in the Côte d'Ivoire. Switch Metals has assembled a diverse portfolio of battery and technology metals assets covering multiple historic occurrences of lithium, tantalum, niobium, nickel, cobalt, copper and manganese. The portfolio of licences and applications, spread over approximately 3,709km2, is made up of the key Issia, Tiassalé and Bouaké Projects plus the subordinate Additional Projects.
Information on Oneiro
Oneiro was incorporated in 2021 as a special purpose acquisition company focused on the energy transition sector, raising over GBP400,000 in seed capital. The Company's shares were listed on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange in 2023, raising a further GBP1,200,000 at the time. The Company's strategy has been to seek an acquisition in the global energy market, the scope of which included natural gas, alternative energy solutions, technology metals, carbon capture and carbon storage.
Information on Switch Metals
Overview
Founded in 2017, Switch Metals is focused on developing battery and technology metals mines in Côte d'Ivoire. It holds two licences and has two applications pending for additional licences, as well as exclusive Option Agreements with Millenium Resources and Luna Mining to acquire a further three licences and five licence applications. Together, these represent the largest lithium and tantalum exploration licence and application package in Côte d'Ivoire.
In addition, Switch Metals has entered into a joint venture agreement with Transland Resources in relation to an additional licence covering a historic manganese discovery.

3 These licences currently cover the exploration right for gold and not the commodity of interest.
4 These applications currently cover Coltan and Lithium, and not all the Commodities of Interest. 5 This application currently covers Nickel and Copper, and not all the Commodities of Interest.
The portfolio is comprised of three primary Projects: Issia, Tiassalé and Bouaké, spanning approximately 3,172 km(2), as well as two non-core Additional Projects, Touba and Sakassou covering an additional 539 km2that the Enlarged Group may look to develop in the future. The initial focus of the Enlarged Group following Admission will be exploration of the Badinikro licence area in the Issia Project utilising the proceeds of the Fundraise. In due course and subject to raising additional funds, the Company intends to conduct exploration activities at the Tiassalé East and Tiassalé South licence areas in the Tiassalé Project and the Botro licence area in the Bouaké Project.
The Enlarged Group's strategy involves developing tantalum production from shallow coltan placer deposits at Issia in order to provide initial cashflow, thereby hedging exploration risk and reducing future fundraising requirements to develop the rest of its large exploration portfolio. It benefits from the country's infrastructure for mineral production and export, including power, water, road and port facilities.
Côte d'Ivoire is one of the fastest growing African economies and an attractive mining jurisdiction. The Projects cover multiple historic occurrences of lithium, tantalum, niobium, nickel, cobalt, copper and manganese identified in Côte d'Ivoire.
The Projects are at an early-stage and the current scope of work permitted at the Projects is accordingly limited in nature. As such, the Projects have not been sufficiently appraised in order to provide any proved or probable mineral reserves nor any measured, indicated or inferred mineral resources. The three primary Projects include applications as well as licences and there can be no guarantee that licences will be granted in respect of these applications.
The Projects
The Switch Metals portfolio (including the licences and applications which are subject to the Option Agreements) is split across five Projects, three of which form the core portfolio, namely Issia, Tiassalé and Bouaké.
The most advanced Project and the Enlarged Group's focus post Admission is Issia which includes the first granted Badinikro permit, where Switch Metals is exploring for lithium and coltan mineralisation hosted by LCT-pegmatites and shallow coltan placers which were formed from the natural weathering of these source pegmatites over the years. The Project sits adjacent to a coltan placer mining licence held by Côte d'Ivoire's national mining company, SODEMI, and its Chinese partner which targets a production over 30 tonnes per year over a minimum of seven years (210 tonnes of coltan in total). As a priority, Switch Metals plans to delineate a coltan placer resource at Issia and undertake technical and economic studies to produce a tantalum concentrate from this shallow source. Coltan placers have the advantage of being amenable to free-dig mining and gravity separation, and therefore represent a near-term development opportunity. Further exploration upside at Issia consists of tantalum and lithium hosted in the pegmatite source rocks.
The Tiassalé Project targets lithium mineralisation within LCT-pegmatites. It includes historically reported occurrences of spodumene-bearing pegmatites hosting lithium mineralisation including one reported occurrence grading 0.23% Li 2O at Kondiébouman, within the Tiassalé West licence
and other occurrences reported in the region with grades up to 2% Li2O.
The Bouaké Project focuses on coltan and lithium mineralisation hosted by LCT-pegmatites. Similarly to Issia, it benefits from numerous placer coltan occurrences and in-situ coltan occurrences in pegmatites. At Bouaké, historical semi-industrial mining produced 15 tonnes of eluvial coltan between 1957 and 1966.
Beyond these three projects, Switch Metals has entered into a joint venture agreement with Transland Resources on the Sakassou battery-grade manganese project and has applied for a license for the Touba nickel (+Co, Cu, Au) project.
The Issia Project
The Issia Project is Switch Metals' most advanced project. Switch Metals is exploring for lithium and coltan mineralisation in the Issia district of central-west Côte d'Ivoire, hosted by LCT-pegmatites. The Issia Project is comprised of five exploration permits covering 1,015 km2: Badinikro, Iboguhé, Issia South, Tierikro, and Badouboua. Switch Metals has been granted an exploration licence for the Badinikro permit and the remaining adjacent permits are still under application as at the date of this document. All exploration to date has been in the Badinikro licence area.
The Issia Project is a highly prospective exploration project for lithium and tantalum. Switch Metals has made significant progress in advancing the project, with exploration results indicating the presence of both coltan placer deposits and LCT-pegmatites with significant mineralisation up to >1,000 ppm Ta. Switch Metals' next steps will focus on defining a coltan (tantalum-rich) placer resource, defining hard rock drill targets, assessing the hard rock tantalum resource potential, and determining the feasibility of tantalum production from both coltan placers and hard rock pegmatite sources.
The Tiassalé Project
The Tiassalé Project is a lithium exploration project in south-central Côte d'Ivoire. Switch Metals is exploring for lithium mineralisation hosted by LCT-pegmatites. The Tiassalé Project covers a total area of 990 km2across three exploration permits: Tiassalé East (344 km2), Tiassalé West (298 km2), and Tiassalé South (348 km2). All three exploration permits have been granted. Two are held by Millenium Resources and the third held by Luna Mining and all are covered by the Option Agreements. The initial focus for the Tiassalé Project will be the Tiassalé East and Tiassalé West permits.
The Tiassalé Project is at an early stage with encouraging indicators of potential lithium mineralisation associated with LCT-pegmatites. The region is attracting the interest of other notable lithium players including AIM-quoted developer Atlantic Lithium and Chinese major producer Ganfeng (through its joint venture with Lithium Africa Resources).
The Bouaké Project
The Bouaké Project is an exploration project focusing on lithium, coltan, and REE mineralisation hosted by LCT and niobium-yttrium-fluorine $(NYF)$ pegmatites. Located in central Côte d'Ivoire, the project encompasses 1,164 km2 across three permit applications: Botro (370 km2), Diabo (396 km2), and Djébonoua (398 km2). The Botro permit has been granted and is held by Switch Metals and will be the initial focus of the Enlarged Group. The Diabo and Djébonoua permits are still under application as at the date of this document.
Switch Metals selected the Bouaké permits based on numerous historical placer and in-situ coltan occurrences. The Bouaké Project is a key component of this strategy, with exploration revealing promising geochemical signatures for both LCT and NYF-type pegmatites. The Bouaké Project is situated in the Bandama Valley Region in central part of Côte d'Ivoire, covering the western part of the Bouaké administrative department and the eastern parts of the Béoumi and Sakassou administrative departments. Vegetation consists of forests and thick grassland, where cultivated, land use is dominated by plantations of coffee, cocoa, cashew, cassava, yams, corn and rubber trees.
The Directors believe that the Bouaké Project presents an exploration opportunity for lithium, coltan, and REE mineralisation. The project's strategic location in central Côte d'Ivoire, the presence of historical mineral occurrences and the promising results from recent exploration activities underscore its potential to contribute to the growing demand for these critical minerals.
Additional Projects
Switch Metals has two additional projects besides its Issia, Tiassalé, and Bouaké flagship projects:
-- Sakassou Battery-Grade Manganese Project: This project is characterised by spessartine-rich quartzite extending over 3 km along strike, potentially containing over 10 Mt of manganese resources suitable for battery-grade processing. Preliminary metallurgical testing has demonstrated the leachability of ore minerals, achieving recovery rates of up to 85 per cent. Currently, this project is on standby while Switch Metals prioritises delineating drill targets for its lithium-tantalum-niobium projects. Switch Metals interest in this project, is through an 80 per cent. interest in the Joint Venture Agreement with Transland Resources. The licence comprising the Sakassou Project has been granted for the exploration of gold. Should the Enlarged Group decide to progress this asset, it will be required under the Joint Venture Agreement to set up a joint venture company and would be required to seek the relevant Mining Code approvals to prospect for manganese.
-- Touba Nickel Project (+/-Co, Cu, Au): This project is situated in a district known for both sulphide and laterite-type nickel deposits. Neighbouring companies, include Robert Friedland's Ivanhoe Electric with a development stage nickel sulphides project (with copper and PGM by-products) and a producing nickel laterite mine controlled by Compagnie Minière du Bafing. The licence making up the Touba project is currently under application.
These other assets are currently considered non-core to the Company's strategy but offer opportunities for partnerships and strategic deals.
Background to and reasons for the Acquisition
The Company was formed to undertake an acquisition of a controlling interest in a company or business which has the potential to lead to less carbon-intensive and more sustainable energy systems. The Existing Directors previously looked at acquiring interests within the hydrocarbon sector (primarily natural gas), alongside the wider upstream green energy sectors such as renewables, battery minerals and technology metals. The Existing Directors consider that the Acquisition represents an exciting opportunity for Shareholders to have exposure to early-stage exploration assets, with significant upside potential which are situated in an attractive African jurisdiction.
Summary of the Acquisition Agreement
The Acquisition Agreement provides that the Company has conditionally agreed to acquire from the Vendor all its interests in shares in Switch Metals for a consideration of 40,344,658 Consideration Shares at the Issue Price. In addition, the Company also agrees to issue the Vendor warrants over, in aggregate, 5,000,000 new Ordinary Shares (subject to adjustment in circumstances where there have been changes to the Company's issued share capital) exercisable at 10 pence per warrant and which are exercisable in whole or in part for a period of five years from Admission.
The agreement is conditional on, amongst other matters, Admission having occurred by 17 April 2025 and contains customary warranties and indemnities from the Vendor in favour of the Company in relation to Switch Metals and its subsidiary, and in relation to the Mining Rights.
The Vendor has agreed not to dispose of its interests in the Consideration Shares within 12 months from the date of Admission (save for certain limited exceptions). The parties have agreed that the Vendor may distribute the Consideration Shares to its underlying shareholders after the expiry of the 12 month period pursuant to the Lock-In Deed. Following this, for a period of 12 months from the first anniversary of Admission, Derk Hartman, Glen Parsons, Karl Akueson and Mamadou Doumbia have each agreed not to dispose of Consideration Shares except in accordance with certain orderly market principles. It is envisaged that following the conclusion of the 12-month lock-in period pursuant to the Lock-In Deed, the Consideration Shares and Switch Warrants will be distributed to the shareholders in Switch Mauritius and Switch Mauritius will be wound up. There is an element of deferred consideration payable in five tranches of 10,000,000 new Ordinary Shares per tranche at an issue price of the closing mid-market price as at the day before their allotment per new Ordinary Share, provided certain resource targets are satisfied from the sites comprised within the Mining Rights.
Summary of the Option Agreements
Switch Metals has entered into the Option Agreements (as amended) to acquire the interests of Luna Mining and of Millenium Resources in respect of the licences and applications held or made by them, and any new permits acquired by Luna Mining and Millenium Resources at any time until 30 June 2025. The consideration payable in respect of the grant of the options is US$15,000 per Option Agreement payable on Admission via the issue of the Option Fee Shares at the Issue Price and further amounts may become payable by Switch Metals to Luna Mining in respect of the acquisition from Luna Mining of any additional permit and in respect of the achievement of certain milestones at the licence pending renewal at Tiassale West relating to soil sampling, drilling and resource results, and to Millenium Resources in respect of the acquisition of each permit at the equivalent of USD70,000 each, and a 1 per cent. gross revenue royalty to each of Luna Mining and/or Millenium Resources.
Strategy of the Enlarged Group
On Admission, the Company will own 100 per cent. of Switch Metals and as a result the Company will become the holding company of Switch Metals whose existing operations will become the Enlarged Group's core business. The strategy of the Enlarged Group will be to develop the assets of Switch Metals, namely the permits comprising the Projects. Subsequently, a decision will be made as to whether to further progress the Projects through feasibility studies or market the assets for potential sale or joint venture partnership. In the long term the New Board intends to evaluate additional assets for inclusion in the business based on a commodity and geographical fit for the business.
The principal place of operations of the Enlarged Group will be Côte d'Ivoire with effect from Admission.
Details of the Fundraise
The Fundraise comprises the Placing and the Subscription, as detailed below. In total, GBP2.0 million gross has been raised pursuant to the Fundraise, conditional on Admission. On Admission, the Company will have a market capitalisation of approximately GBP8.8 million at the Issue Price.
Details of the Placing
Allenby Capital and Oak Securities as agents for the Company pursuant to the Placing Agreement have conditionally placed 23,133,332 Placing Shares with investors at the Issue Price to raise GBP1,734,999.90 before expenses. The Placing has not been underwritten by Allenby Capital, Oak Securities or any other party.
The Placing Shares represent approximately 19.61 per cent. of the Enlarged Share Capital.
The Placing is conditional upon Admission and the Placing Agreement becoming unconditional in all other respects and not being terminated by 8.00 a.m. on 3 April 2025 or such later date (being no later than 8.00 a.m. on 17 April 2025) as the Company and Allenby Capital may agree. The Placing Agreement contains provisions entitling Allenby Capital to terminate the Placing in certain customary circumstances prior to Admission becoming effective. If this right is exercised, the Placing will lapse and Admission will not occur and any monies received in respect of the Placing will be returned to investors without interest.
Details of the Subscription
The Subscription comprises the issue of 3,533,335 Subscription Shares by the Subscribers at the Issue Price, representing approximately 3.00 per cent. of the Enlarged Share Capital, and will raise GBP265,000.13 before expenses. The Subscription has not been underwritten and is conditional upon, among other things, Admission occurring by 3 April 2025.
Use of proceeds
The net proceeds of the Fundraise will be used to progress exploration activities at the Issia Project. Specifically, the Enlarged Group will seek to define a first coltan resource from shallow placer deposits at the Issia Project and delineate drill targets for LCT pegmatites to prove exploration upside. The proceeds will also be applied for general working capital purposes and to cover the costs associated with the Acquisition, Admission and the Fundraise.

Takeover Code
The Takeover Code applies to the Company. Under Rule 9 of the Takeover Code ("Rule 9"), any person who acquires an interest in shares which, taken together with shares in which that person or any person acting in concert with that person is interested, carry 30 per cent. or more of the voting rights of a company which is subject to the Takeover Code is normally required to make an offer to all the remaining shareholders to acquire their shares.
Similarly, when any person, together with persons acting in concert with that person, is interested in shares which in the aggregate carry not less than 30 per cent. of the voting rights of such a company but does not hold shares carrying more than 50 per cent. of the voting rights of the company, an offer will normally be required if such person or any person acting in concert with that person acquires a further interest in shares which increases the percentage of shares carrying voting rights in which that person is interested.
An offer under Rule 9 must be made in cash at the highest price paid by the person required to make the offer, or any person acting in concert with such person, for any interest in shares of the company during the 12 months prior to the announcement of the offer.
Under Note 1 of the Notes on the Dispensations from Rule 9 of the Takeover Code, the Panel may waive the requirement for a general offer to be made in accordance with Rule 9 of the Takeover Code if, inter alia , the shareholders of the Company who are independent of the person who would otherwise be required to make an offer, and any person acting in concert with him, pass an ordinary resolution on a poll at a general meeting or by way of a written resolution approving such a waiver.
The Panel has agreed, subject to the passing of the Rule 9 Waiver Resolution by Independent Shareholders on a poll at the General Meeting, to waive the requirement under Rule 9 of the Takeover Code for the Concert Party, collectively and/or individually, to make a mandatory offer for the Ordinary Shares not already owned by them or persons connected with them as would otherwise arise as a result of the issue to them of the Consideration Shares, the Fundraise Shares and the CLN Conversion Shares and the potential issue of the Director Fee Shares to which they are entitled, and the potential exercise of the CLN Warrants, the Share Options and the Switch Warrants to which they are entitled, details of which are set out below.
To be passed, the Rule 9 Waiver Resolution will require a simple majority of the votes cast on a poll by the Independent Shareholders. For the avoidance of doubt, the Rule 9 Waiver applies only in respect of increases in shareholdings of the Concert Party resulting from the issue to them of the Consideration Shares, the Fundraise Shares and the CLN Conversion Shares and the potential issue of the Director Fee Shares to which they are entitled, and the potential exercise of the CLN Warrants, the Share Options and the Switch Warrants to which they are entitled, details of which are set out below and not in respect of other increases in its holdings. If the Resolutions are passed, the Concert Party will not be restricted from making an offer for the Company.
The Concert Party
Persons acting in concert include persons who, pursuant to an agreement or understanding (whether formal or informal), co-operate to obtain or consolidate control of that company. The Company has agreed with the Panel that the following persons are acting in concert in relation to the Company: Switch Mauritius, its directors (being Karl Akueson, Mamadou Doumbia, Derk Hartman, Chettensingh Awotarsing and Krishnacoomari Bundhoo) and certain of its shareholders (being Glen Parsons and Eric Kacou) (the "Concert Party").
None of the Concert Party members hold any Existing Ordinary Shares. Upon Admission, the Concert Party will be interested in 42,044,658 Ordinary Shares, representing 35.65 per cent. of the voting rights of the Company. Assuming the issue of the Director Fee Shares post Admission and assuming exercise in full by the Concert Party members of the CLN Warrants, the Share Options and the Switch Warrants, in each case to which they are interested (and assuming that no other person converts any convertible securities or exercises any options or any other right to subscribe for Ordinary Shares and no further Ordinary Shares are issued for any other reason), the Concert Party would be interested in 54,027,804 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 41.58 per cent. of the then enlarged share capital of the Company and voting rights of the Company. A table showing the respective individual interests in Ordinary Shares of the Concert Party on Admission and assuming the issue of the Director Fee Shares and the exercise of the CLN Warrants, the Share Options and the Switch Warrants, in each case to which they are interested, only (and assuming that Switch Mauritius does not distribute any Ordinary Shares to its underlying shareholders) is set out below. It is envisaged that following the conclusion of the 12-month lock-in period pursuant to the Lock-In Deed, the Consideration Shares and Switch Warrants will be distributed to the shareholders in Switch Mauritius and Switch Mauritius will be wound up.
Following Admission, the Concert Party will be interested in shares carrying more than 30 per cent. of the voting rights of the Company but will not hold shares carrying more than 50 per cent. of the voting rights of the Company. For so long as they continue to be acting in concert, any increase in their aggregate interest in shares will be subject to the provisions of Rule 9.
The potential issue of the Director Fee Shares and the exercise by the Concert Party of the CLN Warrants, the Share Options and the Switch Warrants described above would normally trigger an obligation for an offer to be made under Rule 9. However, the Panel has agreed to waive this obligation such that there will be no requirement for an offer to be made in respect of the potential issue of the Director Fee Shares and the exercise of such CLN Warrants, Share Options and Switch Warrants.
Individual members of the Concert Party will be unable to increase their individual interest in shares carrying voting rights without triggering an obligation under Rule 9 of the Takeover Code to make an offer, unless agreed otherwise by the Takeover Panel.
General Meeting
The Notice of General Meeting convenes a general meeting of Shareholders to be held at 10.00 a.m. on Wednesday 26 March 2025 at the offices of Marriott Harrison LLP, 80 Cheapside, London EC2V 6EE.
Recommendation and action to be taken by Shareholders
The Existing Directors, who have been so advised by Allenby Capital, believe that the Proposals, including the Rule 9 Waiver, are fair and reasonable and in the best interests of Existing Shareholders and the Company as a whole. In providing such advice, Allenby Capital has taken into account the Existing Directors' commercial assessments.
Accordingly, the Existing Directors recommend that Independent Shareholders vote in favour of the Rule 9 Waiver Resolution. In addition, the Existing Directors recommend that Existing Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions numbered 1, and 3 to 6 (inclusive).
Yours faithfully,
Andrew Yeo
Chairman
