NOTICE OF MEETING OF BARNGARLA NATIVE TITLE HOLDERS TO CONSIDER PROPOSED INDIGENOUS LAND USE AGREEMENT UNDER THE NATIVE TITLE ACT 1993 (CTH)

Proposed Renascor ILUA

The Barngarla Determination Aboriginal Corporation RNTBC ICN 8603 (BDAC) is undertaking consultation about a proposal to enter into an Indigenous Land Use Agreement (Body Corporate Agreement) (ILUA) pursuant to Subdivision B of Division 3 of Part 2 of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) (NT Act) with Renascor Resources Ltd and Ausmin Development Pty Ltd (together the Company).

The proposed ILUA covers land near Arno Bay in the area set out in the map contained in this notice (the ILUA Area). For a full description of the ILUA Area please contact BDAC.

What is the ILUA for?

The ILUA would allow the Company to construct a desalination plant (including an offshore pipeline and an onshore pipeline) on native title land within the ILUA area. The non-extinguishment principal would apply to all acts consented to in the ILUA and accordingly no native title would be extinguished, however native title rights within the ILUA Area would be affected.

The desalination plant is required to support the Company’s mining operations, which will be located on land within the ILUA Area where native title has previously been extinguished. The ILUA would provide benefits and compensation for any affect that the project has on native title. The ILUA would also provide a heritage protocol that applies to all land in the ILUA Area regardless of whether native title exists or has previously been extinguished.

Who should attend this meeting?

The common law holders for the ILUA Area are the Barngarla native title holders (Barngarla People). The Barngarla People as determined by the Federal Court of Australia are those persons:

• who are related by means of the principle of descent to the following Barngarla apical ancestors:
  1. the siblings Percy Richards and Susie Richards;
  2. Maudie Blade who is the mother of Phyllis Croft;
  3. George Glennie and Mary Glennie;
  4. the siblings Bob Eyles and Harry Croft;
  5. Jack Stuart;
  6. Arthur Davis (also known as King Arthur) and his sons, Andrew Davis, Jack Davis, Stanley Davis and Percy Davis; and
• who have a connection with the Determination Area in accordance with the traditional laws and customs of the Barngarla People; and
• who identify as a Barngarla person and who are accepted by the Barngarla People as a Barngarla person.

BDAC is the Registered Native Title Body Corporate for the ILUA Area. Accordingly, pursuant to section 24BD of the NT Act, it must be a party to the ILUA. BDAC is required to consult with the Barngarla People under the Native Title (Prescribed Bodies Corporate) Regulations 1999 (Cth) (PBC Regulations) before making a Native Title Decision.

Any member of the Barngarla People as defined by the Federal Court, is eligible to be a member of BDAC. Under the BDAC Rule Book, only Barngarla People can be members of BDAC. Accordingly, any member of BDAC (who by definition will also be a Barngarla native title holder) may attend this meeting.
