E X PL A N A T O R Y S T A T EM E N T
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.
1. BACKGROUND TO RESOLUTIONS 1 – 6
On 31 January 2025, the Company announced that it had received firm commitments from sophisticated and institutional investors to raise up to approximately $1.35 million (before costs) through the issue of up to135,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.01 per Share ( Placement ).
The Placement is being undertaken in two tranches:
-
(a) the initial tranche comprised the issue of 125,000,000 to unrelated sophisticated and institutional investors ( Unrelated Placement Participants ) on 10 February 2025, with:
-
(i) 79,328,307 Shares issued under the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, which the Company is seeking to ratify under Resolution 1; and
-
(ii) 45,671,693 Shares issued under the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A, which the Company is seeking to ratify under Resolution 2; and
-
(b) the second tranche will comprise, subject to the Company obtaining Shareholder approval under Resolutions 3 to 6, the issue of:
-
(i) 5,000,000 Shares to CEO, Mr Luke Meter; and
(ii) an aggregate of 5,000,000 Shares to Directors, Mr Mark Thompson, Mr Richard Hill and Mr Grant Mooney ( Related Party Participants ).
1.2 Lead Manager
The Company entered into a lead manager mandate with Euroz Hartleys Group Limited ( Euroz Hartleys ), pursuant to which Euroz Hartleys was engaged to act as lead manager to the Placement ( Lead Manager Mandate ). In accordance with the terms of the Lead Manager Mandate the Company has agreed to pay Euroz Hartleys (or its nominee(s)) a lead manager fee of 6% (excluding GST) of the total funds raised under the Placement. The Lead Manager Mandate otherwise contains terms which are considered standard for an agreement of this type.
1.3 Use of funds
Proceeds from the Placement, together with existing cash reserves, will be primarily applied towards the Company’s new gold strategy, including exploration activities at the recently acquired Kanowna East Gold Project (in which the Company has a 70% interest) strategically located in the Kalgoorlie gold region of Western Australia.
2. RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF PLACEMENT SHARES
2.1 General
These Resolutions seek Shareholder ratification for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of 125,000,000 Shares on 10 February 2025 at an issue price of $0.01 per Share to raise $1.25 million (before costs).
79,328,307 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being, the subject of Resolution 1) and 45,671,693 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A (being, the subject of Resolution 2.

2.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that 12 month period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%. The Company obtained this approval at its annual general meeting held on 25 November 2024.
The issue does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of the issue.
2.3 Listing Rule 7.4
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue.
2.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If these Resolutions are passed, the issue will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12month period following the date of the issue.
If these Resolutions are not passed, the issue will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of the issue.
2.5 Technical information required by Listing Rules 7.4 and 7.5
| REQUIRED INFORMATION | DETAILS |
|---|---|
| Names of persons to whom Securities were issued or the basis on which those persons were identified/selected |

| Number and class of Securities issued |
125,000,000 Shares were issued on the following basis: (a) 79,328,307 Shares were issued under Listing Rule 7.1 (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 1); and (b) 45,671,693 Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1A (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 2). |

3. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE PLACEMENT SHARES TO MR LUKE METER
3.1 General
This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of 5,000,000 Shares to Mr Luke Meter to enable his participation in the Placement.
3.2 Listing Rule 7.1
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 2.2 above.
Exception 17 of Listing Rule 7.2 provides that Listing Rule 7.1 will not apply to an agreement to issue equity securities that is conditional on the shareholders approving the issue under Listing Rule 7.1 before the issue is made. If an entity relies on this exception, it must not issue the equity securities without such approval.
The proposed issue falls within exception 17 of Listing Rule 7.2. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
3.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue. In addition, the issue will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue and will not raise a further $50,000 under the Placement.
3.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3
| REQUIRED INFORMATION | DETAILS |
|---|---|
| Names of persons to whom Securities will be issued or the basis on which those persons were or will be identified/selected |
The Shares will be issued to Mr Luke Meter. |

| Terms of Securities | The Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares. |
| Date(s) on or by which the Securities will be issued |
The Company expects to issue the Shares within five Business Days of the Meeting. In any event, the Company will not issue any Shares later than three months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). |

Refer to Section 1.3 for details of the proposed use of funds. |
| Voting exclusion statement | A voting exclusion statement applies to this Resolution. |
4. RESOLUTIONS 4 TO 6 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE PLACEMENT SHARES TO RELATED PARTY PARTICIPANTS
4.1 General
Resolutions 4 to 6 seek Shareholder approval for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of up to an aggregate of 5,000,000 Shares to Mr Mark Thompson, Mr Richard Hill and Mr Grant Mooney (or their nominee(s)) on the terms and conditions set out below to enable the Directors to participate in the Company’s capital raising activities on the same terms as the Unrelated Placement Participants.
Further details in respect of the intended participation of the Directors are set out in the table below.
| RECIPIENT | PARTICIPATION | PARTICIPATION | |
|---|---|---|---|
| RESOLUTION | |||
| QUANTUM | FUNDS RAISED | ||
| Mr Mark Thompson | 4 | 3,000,000 | $30,000 |
| Mr Richard Hill | 5 | 1,000,000 | $10,000 |
| Mr Grant Mooney | 6 | 1,000,000 | $10,000 |
| TOTAL | 5,000,000 | $50,000 |
4.2 Director Recommendation
Each Director has a material personal interest in the outcome of these Resolutions on the basis that all of the Directors (or their nominee(s)) are to be issued Securities should these Resolutions be passed. For this reason, the Directors do not believe that it is appropriate to make a recommendation on these Resolutions.
4.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that for a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
-
(a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The issue constitutes giving a financial benefit and each of the proposed recipients is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
As Shares are proposed to be issued to all of the Directors, the Directors are unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to the issue. Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the issue is sought in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
8
4.4 Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:
-
10.11.1 a related party;
-
10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
-
10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;
-
10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The issue falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
4.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If these Resolutions are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If these Resolutions are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue and will not raise a further $50,000 under the Placement.
4.6 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act
| REQUIRED INFORMATION | DETAILS |

Voting Instructions
Appointment of a Proxy
A shareholder entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint up to two proxies (whether shareholders or not) to attend the meeting and vote. A separate Proxy form should be used for each Proxy appointment.
Directing your Proxy How to Vote: If you wish to direct your Proxy how to vote (or to abstain from voting) on any resolution, place a mark (“X”) in the “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” box for each resolution. If you mark more than one box on a resolution, your vote on that resolution will be invalid. If you mark the “Abstain” box for a particular resolution, you are directing your Proxy not to vote on your behalf and your votes will not be counted in computing the required majority.
