EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM TO MEMBERS

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared to assist members of the Company to understand the business to be put to the Company’s members, for their consideration at the forthcoming General Meeting of the Company.

The Directors recommend that you read this Explanatory Memorandum in its entirety and attend the forthcoming General Meeting.

1. Resolution 1: Ratification of prior issue of the tranche 1 placement shares – Listing Rule 7.1

Resolution 1 relates to the ratification of a prior issue of shares

On 12 June 2024 the Company announced the placement of 57,692,308 shares at $0.026 each plus a 1 for 1 free attaching option exercisable at $0.05 with an expiry date of 31 May 2029 to raise approximately $1.5m (before expenses) to sophisticated and professional investors for exploration and general working capital. The placement will be completed in two tranches.

On 21 June 2024 the Company issued 26,374,795 fully paid ordinary shares being Tranche 1 of the placement. This issuance of shares was made in compliance with ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1.A at the time the issuance occurred. The free attaching options attached to these shares totalling 26,374,795 will be issued following shareholder approval of Resolution 2.

The directors are restricted by Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A from issuing new securities in the Company, which would dilute existing shareholdings, to a maximum of a combined capacity of 25% of the expanded issued capital in any 12-month period. There are exceptions which allow the directors to issue new securities above that limit which include pro rata rights issues and issues with shareholder approval.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 allows the Company to seek the approval of shareholders of the Company to an issue of securities after the issue has been made without approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A, provided the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A and the holders of ordinary shares in the Company subsequently approve the issue.

As the issue was not in breach of Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A and was not previously approved by the shareholders of the Company, the directors are now seeking shareholders’ approval and ratification for the issue of the Shares.

If resolution 1 is passed, the Company will be able to utilise Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for future issues of up to a combined capacity of 25% of the expanded issued capital in the next 12-month period without having to convene a shareholder meeting to seek shareholders’ approval of any such issues. The directors believe it is desirable to have the flexibility afforded to the Company to issue securities up to the combined capacity 25% allowable under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A and accordingly recommend that shareholders vote in favour of the resolution.

If resolution 1 is not passed, the company will not be allowed to utilise the exemption under Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of these securities under Listing Rule 7.1and 7.1A.The shares will be included in calculating the entity’s 25% combined capacity.

The Shares issued pursuant to the placement rank equally in all respects with all existing Shares previously issued by the Company.

Technical Information required under Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 1:

Rule 7.5.1: Names of person who participated:

Sophisticated and professional investors as identified by licensed AFSL holders. None of the recipients are related parties, members of key personnel, substantial holders of the Company (or their associates);

Rule 7.5.2: Number of securities to be issued:

15,624,877 fully paid ordinary shares under Listing Rule 7.1 10,749,918 fully paid ordinary shares under Listing Rule 7.1A

10765331v3

Advance Metals Limited Notice of General Meeting 5 September 2024

Rule 7.5.3: If the securities are not fully paid securities, a summary of the material terms of the securities: Not applicable

Rule 7.5.4: Date or dates on when securities will be issued:

26,374,795 fully paid shares have been issued on 21 June 2024

Rule 7.5.5: Price securities will be issued.:

26,374,795 fully paid shares have been issued at $0.026

Rule 7.5.6: Purpose of the issue:

The Company intends to use the funds raised for exploration, seeking out and reviewing new complementary projects and working capital.

Rule 7.5.7: If securities were or will be issued under an agreement, a summary of any other material terms of the agreement: Not applicable.

Rule 7.5.7: A voting exclusion statement:

A Voting Exclusion Statement is included in the Notice.

Recommendation

Accordingly, the Board unanimously recommend that Shareholders approve Resolution 1.

2. Resolution 2: Approval to issue the options in respect to the Tranche 1 placement

This resolution seeks approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of 26,374,795 options attaching to the tranche 1 placement shares. The options are exercisable at $0.05 with an expiry date of 31 May 2029.

The proposed issue of these options does not fall within any of the Listing Rule 7.1 exceptions and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. it therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 2 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the options. In addition, the issue of the 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.

If resolution 2 is not passed, the Company will still be able to proceed with the issue of the options under Listing Rule 7.1 provided Resolution 1 is passed. If Resolutions 1 and 2 are not passed then the company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the quoted options.

Technical Information required by Listing Rule 7.1

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3 the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 2: The options will be issued to professional and sophisticated investors who participated in the tranche 1 placement. None of the recipients are related parties, members of key personnel, substantial holders of the Company (or their associates);

(a) the maximum number of options to be issued is 26,374,795. These options will convert to fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company on their exercise on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing shares;

(b) the maximum number of options to be issued is 26,374,795. The terms of these options are set out in appendix A;

(c) the options will be issued no later than 3 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) and it is intended that the issue of the options will occur on the same date;

(d) the options will be issued for nil consideration. The Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the options except for $0.05 for each option should they be exercised;

(e) the purpose of the issue of the options is to raise working capital which the Company intends to apply towards taking its businesses forward and for new opportunities;

(f) the options are not being issued under, or to fund a reverse takeover; and

(g) a voting exclusion statement is included in Resolution 2 of the Notice.

Accordingly, the Board unanimously recommend that Shareholders approve Resolution 2.

The Director Participation will result in the issue of Shares which constitutes giving a financial benefit to the Participating Directors, who are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

The Directors (other than Mr Gordon who has a material personal interest in Resolution 4) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect to the issue of the Placement Shares to Mr Gordon because the Shares will be issued to Mr Gordon on the same terms as Placement Shares issued to non-related party participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

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 give them a right or expectation to do so;

Advance Metals Limited Notice of General Meeting 5 September 2024

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 shareholders.

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The Director Participation 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.

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the Director Participation under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11

Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Placement Securities under the Director Participation 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) and will raise additional funds which will be used in the manner as other funds raised under the Placement. As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Shares in respect of the Director Participation (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11 and falls within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 14), the issue of the Shares will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Placement Securities to the Participating Director.

Technical information required by Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 4:

Rule 10.13.1: Name of person:

The options are exercisable at $0.05 with an expiry date of 31 May 2029.

If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the options. In addition, the issue of the 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.

If resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the options.
