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. BACKGROUND TO RESOLUTIONS 1 TO 5

1.1 Placement

As announced on 30 January 2024, the Company received firm commitments from sophisticated and professional investors ( Placement Participants ) to issue up to 214,285,714 Shares at an issue price of $0.007 and $0.00715 per Share to raise a total of $1,500,000 (before expenses) ( Placement Shares ), and subject to Shareholder approval, together with one (1) free attaching Option for every one (1) Placement Share subscribed for and issued, exercisable at $0.03 each on or before 31 December 2025, being the same class as the Company’s existing listed Options with the ASX code ‘ADDOA’ ( Placement Options ) ( Placement ).

On 5 February 2024, the Company issued an aggregate of 200,000,000 Placement Shares as follows:

  • (a) 121,500,000 Placement Shares at an issue price of $0.007 per Share issued pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (Resolution 1); and

  • (b) 78,500,000 Placement Shares at an issue price of $0.00715 per Share issued pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A (Resolution 2).

As set out above, the Company seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Resolution 3 to issue 214,285,714 Placement Options to the Placement Participants.

Funds raised from the Placement will be used to commence exploration activities at the Company’s Lake Surprise Uranium Project in South Australia and the continuation of the exploration program at the Luhuma Central Nickel Project in Tanzania.

Further details in respect of the Placement is set out in the announcements released on 30 January 2024.

1.2 Lead Manager

The Company appointed CoPeak Corporate Pty Ltd as trustee for Peak Asset Management Unit Trust (ACN 632 277 144), an authorised representative of Brava Capital Pty Ltd (ACN 143 257 532) under its Australian Financial Services Licence (No. 382585) ( Peak ) as lead manager to the Placement.

Pursuant to a lead manager mandate ( Mandate ), the Company has agreed to pay / issue Peak:

  • (a) a 6% capital raising fee on all funds raised under the Placement; and

  • (b) subject to a minimum of $1,500,000 being raised, 30,000,000 listed Options on the same terms as the Placement Options ( LM Options ) (being the subject of Resolution 5).

6

Should the Company decide to undertake a capital raising within six months of the execution of the Mandate or within 180 days of the effective termination date, Peak will maintain a first right of refusal to lead the raise. If the Company fails to do so and Peak is not in breach of the Mandate, the Company will pay Peak a $50,000 break fee.

Additionally, Peak subscribed for $100,000 worth of Placement Shares under the Placement, being 14,285,714 Placement Shares ( Peak Shares ) and subject to Resolution 3 being passed, will receive 14,285,714 Placement Options as free attaching to the subscribed Peak Shares. Due to placement capacity restrictions, the Company agreed to issue the Peak Shares to Peak subject to Shareholder approval, being the subject of Resolution 4.

For avoidance of doubt, the Peak Shares and attaching Placement Options to be issued to Peak, are part of the aggregate 214,285,714 Placement Shares and the 214,285,714 Placement Options under the Placement.

The Placement Options and the LM Options are proposed to be quoted in the same class as the Company’s existing listed Options with the ASX code ‘ADDOA’.

1.3 Summary of Resolutions 1 to 5

The Company seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to the following Resolutions:

  • (a) Resolution 1 : ratification of 121,500,000 Placement Shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4;

  • (b) Resolution 2 : ratification of 78,500,000 Placement Shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4;

  • (c) Resolution 3 : approval to issue 214,285,714 Placement Options to the Placement Participants (including Peak) pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1;

  • (d) Resolution 4 : approval to issue 14,285,714 Peak Shares to Peak, pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • (e) Resolution 5 : approval to issue 30,000,000 LM Options to Peak, pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.

2. RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF PLACEMENT SHARES - LISTING RULES 7.1 AND 7.1A

2.1 General

As set out in Section 1.1 above, on 5 Febraury 2024, 121,500,000 Placement Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being, the subject of Resolution 1) and 78,500,000 Placement Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s 7.1A mandate (being, the subject of Resolution 2) which was approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 24 November 2023 ( 2023 AGM ).

The issue of the Placement Shares did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of the issue.

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

7

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 approval to increase its limit to 25% at the 2023 AGM.

The issue of the Placement 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 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 issue of the Placement Shares.

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 of the Placement Shares.

Resolutions 1 and 2 seek Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Shares.

2.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 1 and 2 are passed, the Placement Shares 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 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.

If Resolutions 1 and 2 are not passed, the Placement Shares 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 issue of the Placement Shares.

2.5 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 Resolutions 1 and 2:

  • (a) the Placement Shares were issued to the Placement Participants, being professional and sophisticated investors who are clients of Peak. The recipients were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved Peak seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from non-related parties of the Company;

8

  • (b) in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the recipients were:

  • (i) related parties of the Company, members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company or an associate of any of these parties; and

  • (ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;

  • (c) 200,000,000 Placement Shares were issued on the following basis:

  • (i) 121,500,000 Shares issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 1); and

  • (ii) 78,500,000 Shares issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 2);

  • (d) the Placement 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;

  • (e)

  • the Placement Shares were issued on 5 February 2024;

  • (f) the issue price was $0.007 per Placement Share under the issue of Shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 and $0.00715 per Placement Share under the issue pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Placement Shares;

  • (g) the purpose of the issue of the Placement Shares and the intended use of funds is set out in Section 1.1; and

  • (h) the Placement Shares were not issued under an agreement.

3. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE PLACEMENT OPTIONS

3.1 General

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Placement Options to the Placement Participants.

Further information on the issue of the Placement Options is outlined in Section 1.1 above.

As summarised in Section 2.2 above, 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 proposed issue of the Placement Options falls within exception 17 of Listing Rule 7.2. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

In addition, the issue of the Placement Options 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.

9

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Placement Options.

3.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1
