EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
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. RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES – LISTING RULE 7.1
1.1 General
On 30 January 2023, the Company issued 9,380,423 Shares to Mr Ally Mbarak Nahdi ( Nahdi Shares ) pursuant to the binding farm-in agreement with Mr Nahdi in respect to two licences ( Licenses ) with significant nickel sulphide exploration potential ( Luhuma Joint Venture ) as announced by the Company on 15 December 2021.
The Nahdi Shares were issued under the Agreement as part of the consideration for the Company acquiring a 65% interest in the Luhuma Joint Venture Project, as announced by the Company on 24 January 2023.
The Nahdi Shares were issued on the basis of a deemed issue price of $0.022500 calculated on the assumption that USD$150,000 converted into Australian Dollars ( AUD ) based on USD/AUD conversion rate of $0.7107 and on the five (5) trading days volume weighted average price ( VWAP ) prior to the issue of the Nahdi Shares.
The Luhuma Joint Venture agreement is structured as an option agreement but is in the nature of a farm-in agreement and has four earn-in stages, payable per licence. The material terms of the Luhuma Joint Venture agreement are as follows:
| Material Term | Summary |
|---|---|
| Grant of Option | In consideration of payment by the Company to Mr Nahdi of the consideration, Mr Nahdi grants the Company an irrevocable right to earn and acquire up to an 80% participating interest in the Licences free and clear of any encumbrances. |
| Consideration and Earn-in |
In consideration for exploration rights on the Licenses, the Company is to pay Mr Nahdi: (a) Stage 1 Earn-in:Adavale has the immediate and exclusive right to explore and evaluate the licences for 12 months upon payment of US$12,500 cash per Licence and US$25,000 per Licence in fully paid ordinary Shares. During the first 12 months Adavale must spend at least the minimum exploration expenditure as required by the Mining Commission which is US$500 per annum per square kilometre across the 98.89km2. (b) Stage 2 Earn-in:If Adavale is satisfied with the exploration results and prospectivity of the Licences then on or before the 1st year anniversary Adavale has the right to earn-in 65% ownership of the Licences upon paying the vendor US$25,000 cash per Licence and $75,000 per Licence in fully paid ordinary Shares. Adavale must continue to spend at least the minimum annual exploration expenditure of US$500 per square kilometre. (c) Stage 3 Earn-in:If Adavale continues to be satisfied with the exploration results and prospectivity of the licences then on or before the 2nd year anniversary Adavale has the right to earn-in 80% ownershipof the Licences upon |

916CRR0975_ADD_NoM_v1.docx
| Material Term | Summary |
|---|---|
| paying the vendor US$50,000 cash and US$112,500 worth of Adavale shares. Adavale must continue to spend at least the minimum annual exploration expenditure of $500 per square kilometre. (d) Stage 4 Earn-in:Following registration by the Mining Commission of Adavale’s 80% Interest in the Licences, Adavale must pay US$112,500 per Licence to Mr Nahdi. |
|
| Right of refusal | If Adavale continues to be satisfied with the exploration results and prospectivity of the Licences and has earned in and acquired a total 80% ownership, then Adavale has the right of first refusal to match any independent bona fide arm’s length third party offer to buy out the remaining 20% participating interest in the licences held by the licence holder on or before the 3rd year anniversary from the Effective Date (being the 3rd business day after the conditions precedent have been satisfied). If Mr Nahdi wishes to sell the 20% participating interest in the Licences during this period, he must also give notice to Adavale and set out the terms on which he proposes to sell and the parties shall use best endeavours to negotiate agreeable terms. |
| Best endeavours | On estimation of an economic Ore Reserve pursuant to the JORC Code within the Licences, Adavale shall use its best endeavours to convert the Licences to Mining Licenses. Should an operational mine come into production from such Mining Licenses, Mr Nahdi shall receive a Net Smelter Return of 1.5% from the sale of minerals produced at the mine paid on a monthly basis |
| Exclusivity period | Period starting from the date of the Joint Venture Agreement up to and including the third anniversary of the Effective Date, being the 3rdBusiness Day following the date on which the conditions precedent were satisfied by Adavale. |
| Termination | Adavale may, at any time, relinquish its Interest in the Licences by providing 30 days’ notice of its intention to do so to Mr Nahdi. Mr Nahdi may terminate the agreement by giving notice to Adavale if it fails to pay any amount due under the Luhuma Joint Venture on the date due for payment and remains in default for 30 days and if Adavale is in breach of its obligations under the Luhuma Joint Venture. |
1.2 Listing Rule 7.1
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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
The issue of the Nahdi Shares 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 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Nahdi Shares.
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.
7
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 of the Nahdi Shares.
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Nahdi Shares.
1.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 1 is passed, the Nahdi Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Nahdi Shares.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Nahdi Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Nahdi Shares.
1.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 1:
-
(a) the Nahdi Shares were issued to Mr Ally Mbarak Nahdi the holder of the Licenses the subject of the Luhuma Joint Venture;
-
(b) 9,380,423 Nahdi Shares were issued, and the Nahdi Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;
-
(c) the Nahdi Shares were issued on 30 January 2023;
-
(d) the Nahdi Shares were issued on the basis of a deemed issue price of $0.022500 per Share, which was calculated based on the assumption of USD$150,000 converted to A$ at 0.7107 and VWAP for the last five (5) trading days preceding the issue of the Nahdi Shares;
-
(e) the purpose of the issue of the Nahdi Shares was for the Company to acquire 65% of the Licenses under the Luhuma Joint Venture; and
-
(f) the Nahdi Shares were issued to Mr Nahdi under the Luhuma Joint Venture agreement. A summary of the material terms of the Luhuma Joint Venture agreement are set out in Section 1.1 above.

The issue of the Tranche 1 Notes 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 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Tranche 1 Notes.
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 of the Tranche 1 Notes.

As set out in Section 2.1 above, the Company entered into the Convertible Note Agreements for the issue of the Convertible Notes. Under Tranche 2, the Company proposes to issue 101 Convertible Notes on or about 5 May 2023, to the value of $1,010,000, to sophisticated and professional investors ( Tranche 2 Notes ).
The Convertible Notes can be converted after 30 June 2023 in accordance with the Conversion Formula. A summary of the key terms of the Convertible Note Agreements is set out in Schedule 1.
The Company intends to issue the Tranche 2 Notes in accordance with the Convertible Note Agreements, subject to this Resolution 3 being passed.

The proposed issue of the Tranche 2 Notes does not fall within any of the exceptions and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule
12
- 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Tranche 2 Notes.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company may not be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Notes and the funds raised under the Tranche 2 Notes shall be treated as a loan, repayable in cash by the Company to the Investors, in accordance with the redemption provisions in the Convertible Note Agreements.
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Tranche 2 Notes.

13
waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Tranche 2 Notes will occur on the same date;
