EXPLANATORY NOTES

This Explanatory Notes forms part of the Notice of General Meeting dated 26 June 2017 and should be read in conjunction with that Notice as this Explanatory Notes contains important information on the proposed Resolution.

1. Resolution 1 – Ratification of Placement Shares and Options under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A

1.1. Background

Resolution 1 relates to the ratification of securities issue since the last AGM held by the Company. Baker Young Securities Limited recently managed a placement on behalf of the Company where $450,000 was raised before expenses. Various investors (listed below) made an investment in the Company in consideration for the Company issuing these unrelated parties 100,000,000 shares and 33,333,333 free attaching listed options ( the Placement ).

1.2. Requirements under Listing Rules

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number of securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval in any 12 month period to 15% of its issued securities, subject to exceptions.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A allows the Company to issue up to an additional 10% of its issued securities, subject to shareholder approval.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 allows shareholders to retrospectively approve an issue of securities made under both Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, provided that the issue was not in breach of the ASX Listing Rules. The retrospective ratification of shares under Resolution 1 has the effect of refreshing the entity’s share placement capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, to allow the Company to undertake further share placements.

As such, Resolution 1 seeks Shareholders approval for the ratification of issued Shares and Options, on the provision of the following information, as required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5:

  • (a) The number of securities issued: 100,000,000 shares and 33,333,333 listed options were issued on 9 May 2017.

The shares and options were issued on the following basis:

  • (i) Placement issue under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 = 49,017,565 shares and 33,333,333 listed options

  • (ii) Placement issue under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A = 50,982,435 shares.

  • (ii) Options: the options have exercise price of $0.007 (0.7 cents) and an expiry of 15 December 2019. The ordinary shares issued on exercise of the Options will rank equally with other fully paid ordinary shares on issue.

  • (d) The use of the funds raised: The Company raised a total of $450,000 from the issue, which it intends to use to fund exploration and general working capital both in Australia and for the Company’s recently acquired projects in Haiti.

1.3. Board Recommendation

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

2. Resolution 2 – Issue of placement options MAPD Nominees Pty Ltd

2.1. Background

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 4,500,000 listed options ( Placement Options ). As noted in Section 1.1 of the Explanatory Notes, the Company engaged Baker Young Securities Limited to manage the capital raising completed on 9 May 2017. The Company agreed to issue the Placement Options as part consideration of the placement services provided by Baker Young Securities Limited. MAPD Nominees Pty Ltd was nominated by Baker Young Securities Limited to receive the Placement Options. The recipient of the Placement Options is not a related party the Company.

Listing Rule 7.1 requires a company that wishes to issue more than 15% of its securities in any 12 month period to obtain Shareholder approval by way of ordinary resolution (unless the issue is exempted under Listing Rule 7.2).

The effect of Resolution 2, if approved by Shareholders, will be to allow the Company to settle its liability during the period of 3 months following the meeting, without utilising the Company’s 15% or 10% annual placement capacity.

2.2.

Information required by Listing Rule 7.3

Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.3, the Company provides the following information in relation to the proposed issue of the Placement Options:

  • (a) The number of securities the Company will issue : The maximum number of securities to be issued is up to 4,500,000 listed options of the Company;

  • (b) The issue price of the securities : the Placement Options will be issued at $nil but will be issued as part consideration for capital raising services provided to the Company.

(c) The terms of the securities :

  • (i) The Placement Options have an exercise price of $0.007 (0.7 cents) and an expiry of 15 December 2019;

  • (ii) The deemed value based on the 15 Day VWAP immediately prior to 30 May 2017 is $0.0015 (0.15 cents) per share;

  • (iii) The Placement Options will only rank equally with the Company’s existing ordinary shares on issue upon their exercise.

  • (d) The date on which the Company will issue the securities : The Placement Options will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the meeting (or such later date to

the extent permitted by ASX pursuant to any waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). The Placement Options will be issued progressively.

  • (e) The name of the person to whom the Company will issue the securities: The Placement Options will be issued to MAPD Nominees Pty Ltd.

  • (f) Use of fund: The Company intends to issue the Placement Options to satisfy an existing liability in relation to management fees concerning the recent capital raising completed by the Company on 9 May 2017.

2.3. Board Recommendation

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

3. Resolution 3: Approval of issue of shares

3.1. Background

Listing Rule 7.1 requires a company that wishes to issue more than 15% of its securities in any 12 month period to obtain Shareholder approval by way of ordinary resolution (unless the issue is exempted under Listing Rule 7.2). Similarly, ASX Listing Rule 7.1A only allows the Company to issue up to an additional 10% of its issued securities, subject to shareholder approval.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval to issue of up to $500,000 worth of new shares ( Future Placement Shares ) at an issue price per share of not less than 80% of the VWAP of the shares calculated over the last five days on which sales in the shares were recorded before the day on which the Future Placement Shares are issued to various sophisticated, professional and other investors that fall within one or more of the classes of exemptions specified in section 708 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) .

The funds raised by the issue of the Future Placement Shares will be used to fund exploration and general working capital both in Australia and for the Company’s recently acquired projects in Haiti.

At this stage, the Company has not committed to undertaking the issue of the Future Placement Shares, nor the price at which the Future Placement Shares will be issued. However, pursuant to Resolution 3 the Company is seeking approval of Shareholders to provide it with flexibility to undertake the placement within three months following the meeting without using the Company’s placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.1A.

3.2.

Information required by Listing Rule 7.3

Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.3, the Company provides the following information in relation to the proposed issue of the Future Placement Shares:

  • (a) The number of securities the Company will issue : Future Placement Shares to a value of up to $500,000 will be issued within 3 months after the date of the meeting. The number of Future Placement Shares to be issued will be determined by dividing the value of the placement by the issue price of the Future Placement Shares (as determined by the Directors subject to the parameters set out in (b) below).

(b) The issue price of the securities : The Future Placement Shares will be issued for an issue price per Future Placement Share to be determined by the Directors, which shall be not less than 80% of the VWAP of the shares calculated over the last five days on which sales in the shares were recorded before the day on which the Future Placement Shares are issued.

The following examples show potential scenarios of the number of Future Placement Shares which may be issued:

Example 1: Using the market price of $0.006 at the time of preparing this Notice as being equivalent to the 5 day VWAP for illustration purposes, the issue price will be not less than 80% of $0.006 which is $0.0048. Accordingly, the total number of Future Placement Shares that may be issued pursuant to the Shareholder approval would be approximately 104,166,667 ($500,000 divided by $0.0048).

Example 2: If the 5 day VWAP is decreased by 50% which is equal to $0.003, the issue price will be not less than 80% of $0.003 which is $0.0024. Accordingly, the total number of Future Placement Shares that may be issued pursuant to the Shareholder approval would be approximately 208,333,333 ($500,000 divided by $0.0024).

Example 3: If the 5 day VWAP is increased by 50% which is equal to $0.009, the issue price will be not less than 80% of $0.009 which is $0.0072. Accordingly, the total number of Future Placement Shares that may be issued pursuant to the Shareholder approval would be approximately 69,444,444 ($500,000 divided by $0.0072).

Potential Dilution Effect

Based on the current number of shares on issue of 654,597,776 and the above examples, the table below shows the potential dilution effect on the shareholdings as follows:

Shares to be issued Total number of shares
on issue subsequent to
the issue
Dilution factor1
208,333,333 (at issue price
of$0.0024)
862,931,109 24.14%
104,166,667 (at issue price
of$0.0048)
758,764,443 13.73%
69,444,444 at issue price of
$0.0072)
724,042,220 9.59%

1 The dilution factor does not take into account the impact of any exercise of options by any optionholders.

  • (c) The terms of the securities : The Future Placement Shares issued will rank equally with the existing ordinary shares and will be quoted on the ASX.

  • (d) The date on which the Company will issue the securities : The Future Placement Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by ASX pursuant to any waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). The Future Placement Shares will be issued progressively.

  • (e) The name of the person to whom the Company will issue the securities: The Future Placement Shares will be issued to one or more unrelated sophisticated, professional or other investors that fall within one or more of the classes of exemptions specified in section 708 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) . The Future Placement Shares will not be issued to any recipient who, upon such issue, and in combination with that recipient’s associates, would have a Relevant Interest in excess of 19.99% of the Shares in the Company, unless further Shareholder approval is obtained or the issue of Future Placement Shares to that recipient otherwise complies with Chapter 6 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) .

  • (f) Use of funds: The Company will raise up to $500,000 from the issue, which it intends to use to fund exploration and general working capital both in Australia and for the Company’s recently acquired projects in Haiti.

3.3. Board Recommendation

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

Instructions for Completing ‘Appointment of Proxy’ Form

  1. ( Appointing a proxy ): A Shareholder entitled to attend and cast a vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. If a Shareholder is entitled to cast 2 or more votes at the Meeting, the Shareholder may appoint a second proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. However, where both proxies attend the Meeting, voting may only be exercised on a poll. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. A Shareholder who appoints 2 proxies may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a Shareholder appoints 2 proxies and the appointments do not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder’s votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes. Any fractions of votes resulting from the application of these principles will be disregarded. A duly appointed proxy need not be a Shareholder.

  2. ( Direction to vote ): A Shareholder may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. The direction may specify the proportion or number of votes that the proxy may exercise by writing the percentage or number of Shares next to the box marked for the relevant item of business. Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose subject to the relevant laws. Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item.

3.

  • ( Individual ): Where the holding is in one name, the Shareholder must sign.

  • ( Joint holding ): Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the Shareholders should sign.

  • ( Power of attorney ): If you have not already provided the power of attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the power of attorney to this Proxy Form when you return it.

  • ( Companies ): Where the company has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary, that person must sign.
