Dear Shareholder
INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE IN SHARE PURCHASE PLAN
On 7 September 2026, Aureka Limited (ACN 125 140 105) (Aureka or the Company) announced a
placement of 47,084,593 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company (Shares) at an issue price of $0.12 per
Share to sophisticated, institutional and professional investors, raising approximately $5,650,151
(Placement).
The Placement will be completed in two tranches, comprising:
(a) (First Tranche) 37,830,063 Shares raising approximately $4,539,608, to be issued on or around
11 September 2026 using the Company’s available placement capacity under ASX Listing Rules
7.1 and 7.1A; and
(b) (Second Tranche) 9,254,530 Shares raising approximately $1,110,544, to be issued subject to
shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 at Aureka’s next general meeting.
In order to provide Eligible Shareholders (defined below) with the ability to participate in the Company’s capital
raising activities, the Company is pleased to provide details of a Share Purchase Plan (Plan) as announced
by the Company to the ASX on 7 September 2026.
Under the Plan, Eligible Shareholders will have the opportunity to purchase up to $30,000 worth of Shares at
the same issue price as the Placement ($0.12 per Share), irrespective of the size of their shareholding in
Aureka, without incurring brokerage or transaction costs.
The offer under the Plan (Offer) seeks to raise up to approximately $1,500,000 on the terms and conditions
contained in this document (Terms and Conditions). The Company may elect to accept oversubscriptions
or alternatively close the Offer early, extend the Closing Date and/or scale back Applications (as defined
below) at its absolute discretion.
Shareholders eligible to participate in the Plan
Participation under the Plan is optional and is available exclusively to shareholders of the Company who are
registered as holders of Shares as at 7.00 pm (Melbourne time) on 4 September 2026 (Record Date) and
whose registered address is in Australia or New Zealand (Eligible Shareholders).
Share Purchase Plan
The Plan entitles Eligible Shareholders, irrespective of the size of their shareholding in Aureka, to purchase
up to $30,000 worth of Shares at an issue price of $0.12 per Share (Price) being the same issue price as the
Shares offered to sophisticated and professional investors under the Placement.
The Price represents a discount of approximately 3.5% to $0.124, being the volume weighted average market
price (VWAP) of the Shares over the last five trading days on which sales in the Shares were recorded before
the day on which the Plan was announced on 7 September 2026.
While the Company intends to raise $1,500,000 under the Plan, the Company reserves the right to accept
oversubscriptions at its absolute discretion, subject to shareholder demand and compliance with the ASX
Listing Rules. In accordance with the ASX Listing Rules, the maximum number of Shares that can be issued
under a share purchase plan is that amount equal to 30% of the Company’s existing issued share capital.
Accordingly, following the issue of the First Tranche Placement Shares, the maximum number of Shares
which may be issued under this Plan will be 59,093,721.
2
In addition, depending on Applications received, the Company may, in its absolute discretion, undertake a
scale back so that the maximum number of Shares referred to above is not exceeded. Scale back decisions
are made by the Board and are final.
Application monies relating to any scaled-back or rejected Application will be refunded without interest.
The Plan will not be underwritten.
The directors of the Company who are Eligible Shareholders may participate under the Plan subject to the
Listing Rules.
An application form for the Plan (Application Form) is available online at https://www.investorserve.com.au/.
Current activities
Details of the Company’s current activities are set out in the announcements made by the Company to the
ASX and are available from the ASX platform (ASX:AKA), or the Company’s website at
https://aureka.com.au/.
Use of funds
The funds raised under the Plan will be applied to post-completion investment in production at Fiddlers Creek
Mine and Wedderburn Mill, working capital, and near-mine and general exploration drilling.
The proposed uses of funds are indicative only and remain subject to the Board’s discretion.
How much can you invest?
Eligible Shareholders may each apply for a maximum of $30,000 worth of Shares and a minimum of $5,000
worth of Shares under the Plan.
How to accept the Offer
To apply for Shares under the Plan, please follow the instructions on your personalised Application Form
which is available online at https://www.investorserve.com.au/.
Eligible Shareholders may participate by selecting only one of the following options to purchase Shares under
the Plan:

Offer B $25,000 208,333

All payments in accordance with the options set out in your Application Form (Application) must be received
by the Closing Date of 5.00 pm (Melbourne time), Thursday, 24 September 2026. If the exact amount of
money is not tendered with your Application, the Company reserves the right to either:

(b) issue to you the number of Shares that would have been issued had you applied for the highest
designated amount that is less than the amount of your payment and refund the excess application
monies to you by cheque or electronic funds transfer as soon as possible, without interest.
The Company confirms that if the amount to be refunded is less than the Price of one Share, it will not be
refunded and will be retained by the Company.
Once an Application has been made it cannot be revoked.

Multiple holdings
The maximum investment any Eligible Shareholder may apply for will remain $30,000 even if an Eligible
Shareholder receives more than one Offer (whether in respect of a joint holding or because the Eligible
Shareholder has more than one holding under a separate account). It is the responsibility of the applicant to
ensure that the aggregate of the application amount paid for the Shares the subject of the Application and
any other shares and interests in the class applied for by you under the Plan or any similar arrangement in
the 12 months prior to the date of submission does not exceed $30,000.
Custodians and Nominees
Eligible Shareholders who hold Shares as custodian or nominee (Custodian) for one or more persons on the
Record Date (Beneficiary) may apply for up to a maximum amount of $30,000 worth of Shares in respect of
each Beneficiary who is resident in Australia or New Zealand, subject to providing a Custodian Certificate to
the Company, as described in the Terms and Conditions. Please refer to the Terms and Conditions section
of this document below for more details.
Relationship of issue price with market price
On the last trading day immediately prior to the announcement date of the Offer, the closing price of the
Shares traded on ASX was $0.125. The market price of Shares in the Company may rise and fall between
the date of the Offer and the date that any Shares are issued to you pursuant to your Application under the
Offer.
By making an Application under the Offer and applying for Shares under the Plan, each Eligible Shareholder
will be acknowledging that although the Price is at a discount, Shares are a speculative investment and the
price of Shares on ASX may change between the date of the Company announcing its intention to make an
offer and the date of issue of Shares under that offer and that the value of the Shares received under the Plan
may rise or fall accordingly.
The Board recommends that you obtain your own financial and taxation advice in relation to the Offer and
consider price movements of Shares in the Company prior to making an Application under the Offer.
Additional information and important dates
The offer of Shares under the Plan is made in accordance with ASIC Corporations (Share and Interest
Purchase Plans) Instrument 2019/547 (ASIC CI 2019/547) and therefore does not require a prospectus for
the purposes of Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (Corporations Act).
The Offer cannot be transferred, and the Directors of the Company reserve the right in their absolute
discretion to reject, or scale back, on an equitable basis, any Application. Shares issued under the Plan will
be issued no later than five business days after the Closing Date of the Offer. Application for quotation on
ASX of the Shares issued under the Offer will be made immediately following the issue of those Shares.
The Company is seeking to raise approximately $1,500,000 under the Offer. The Company, however,
reserves absolute discretion regarding the final amount raised under the Offer, subject to the ASX Listing
Rules.
In the event of oversubscriptions by the Closing Date the Directors of the Company may, in their absolute
discretion, scale-back applications on an equitable basis. Scale-back for Shares held by Custodians will be
applied at the level of the underlying Beneficiary. The Directors of the Company may also, in their absolute
discretion, decide to increase acceptances in the event of oversubscriptions.
If the Company rejects or scales-back an Application or purported Application, the Company will promptly
return to the applicant the relevant application monies, without interest.

Aureka Limited ACN 125 140 105
Share Purchase Plan - Terms and Conditions
Purpose
The purpose of the Share Purchase Plan (Plan), which is being conducted in conjunction with the Placement,
is to offer shareholders of Aureka Limited (ACN 125 140 105) (Aureka or the Company) the opportunity to
acquire additional fully paid ordinary shares in the Company (Shares) up to a maximum of $30,000 worth of
Shares (when combined with any Shares issued under any share purchase plan in the 12 months preceding
the date of the Plan) and a minimum of $5,000 worth of Shares.
The issue price of Shares to be issued under the Plan is $0.12 (Price) which represents a discount of
approximately 3.5% to the volume weighted average market price for the Shares over the last five trading
days on which sales in the Shares were recorded prior to the date the Plan was announced on 7 September
2026, being $0.124.
The Company seeks to raise up to approximately $1,500,000 under the Plan. If Applications exceed the
maximum number of Shares available, the Company may scale them back. The Shares will not attract
brokerage costs and will be issued without the Company preparing a prospectus.
The Plan is governed upon such terms and conditions as the board of directors of the Company, in its absolute
discretion, sees fit.
No financial advice
This document does not provide financial advice and has been prepared without taking account of any
person’s investment objectives, financial situation or particular needs. You should consider the
appropriateness of participating in the Plan having regard to your investment objectives, financial situation
and particular needs. Shareholders should seek independent financial and taxation advice before making any
investment decision whether to subscribe for Shares under the Plan.
Shareholders eligible to participate
Holders of Shares that are registered with an Australian or New Zealand address at the Record Date are
eligible shareholders (Eligible Shareholders) and may participate in the Plan, unless such registered
shareholder holds Shares on behalf of another person who resides outside Australia or New Zealand. Due to
foreign securities laws, it is not practical for shareholders (or beneficial shareholders) resident in other
countries to be offered the opportunity to participate in the Plan.
Participation in the Plan is optional and is subject to these Terms and Conditions. Offers made under the Plan
are non-renounceable (i.e. Eligible Shareholders may not transfer their rights to any Shares offered under the
Plan). Eligible Shareholders who wish to take up Shares offered under the Plan agree to be bound by the
Company’s constitution in respect of Shares issued under the Plan.
An offer may, at the discretion of the Directors of the Company, be made under the Plan once a year. The
maximum amount which any shareholder may subscribe for in any consecutive 12-month period is $30,000.
The Directors of the Company may also determine in their discretion the minimum amount for participation,
the multiple of Shares to be offered under the Plan and the period the offer is available to Eligible
Shareholders.
Custodians, trustees and nominees
If you are an Eligible Shareholder and hold Shares as a custodian (as defined in ASIC Corporations (Share
and Interest Purchase Plans) Instrument 2019/547 (ASIC CI 2019/547) (refer below) (Custodian) or in any
more specific ASIC relief granted to the Company in relation to the Plan), you may apply for up to $30,000
worth of new Shares for each beneficiary for whom you act as custodian provided you complete and submit,
together with an Application, a certificate (Custodian Certificate) with the following information:
(a) that you held Shares on behalf of:
(i) one or more other persons that are not custodians; and/or
(ii) another custodian (Downstream Custodian) that holds beneficial interests in Shares on
behalf of one or more other persons who are resident in Australia or New Zealand, to
which those beneficial interests relate,
(each a Participating Beneficiary) at the Record Date who have subsequently instructed you,
and/or the Downstream Custodian, to apply for Shares under the Plan on their behalf;
(b) the number of Participating Beneficiaries and their names and addresses;
6
(c) the number of Shares that you hold on behalf of each Participating Beneficiary;
(d) the number or dollar amount of Shares that each Participating Beneficiary has instructed you, either
directly or indirectly through a Downstream Custodian, to apply for on their behalf;
(e) that the application price for Shares applied under the Offer for each Participating Beneficiary for
whom you act in addition to the application price for any other Shares issued to you as custodian
(as a result of instruction given to you as Custodian or a Downstream Custodian) for that
Participating Beneficiary under any arrangement similar to the Plan in the prior 12 months does not
exceed $30,000;
(f) that a copy of the written Offer document was given to each Participating Beneficiary; and
(g) where you hold Shares on behalf of a Participating Beneficiary indirectly, through one or more
Downstream Custodians, the name and address of each Downstream Custodian.
For the purposes of ASIC CI 2019/547 you are a ‘Custodian’ if you provide a custodial or depository service
in relation to shares of a body or interests in a registered scheme and you:
(a) hold an Australian financial services licence covering the provision of a custodial or depository
service;
(b) are exempt from the requirement to hold an Australian financial services licence covering the
provision of a custodial or depository service;
(c) hold an Australian financial services licence covering the operation of an IDPS or is a responsible
entity of an IDPS-like scheme;
(d) are a trustee of a self-managed superannuation fund or a superannuation master trust; or
(e) are a registered holder of shares or interests in the class and are noted on the register of members
of the body or scheme as holding the shares or interests on account of another person.
If you hold Shares as a trustee or nominee for another person or persons but are not a Custodian as defined
above, you cannot participate for beneficiaries in the manner described above. In this case, the rules for
multiple single holdings (above) apply.
Custodians should request a Custodian Certificate when making an Application on behalf of Participating
Beneficiaries. To request a Custodian Certificate and if you would like further information on how to apply,
you should contact the Company’s share registry at any time from 8:30am to 5:00pm (Melbourne time)
Monday to Friday during the Offer period.
The Company reserves the right to reject any Application to the extent it considers that the Application
(whether alone or in conjunction with other Applications) does not comply with these requirements. The
Company reserves the right to reject Applications in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.
Price of Shares
The issue price of Shares under the Plan has been set to match the issue price of Shares offered under the
Placement.
The issue price of Shares to be issued under the Plan is $0.12 which represents a discount of approximately
3.5% of the volume weighted average market price for the Shares over the last five trading days on which
sales in the Shares were recorded prior to the date the Plan was announced on 7 September 2026, being
$0.124.
The future market price of the Shares is uncertain and there is a risk that the market price of the Shares may
rise or fall between the date of the Offer and the date when the Shares are issued to applicants under the
Plan. Accordingly, the issue price you pay for Shares under the Plan may either be higher or lower than
market price of the Shares trading on the ASX at the time the Shares are issued to you under the Plan. The
market price for the Shares on the ASX can be obtained from your stockbroker or the ASX’s website.
