6. RESOLUTIONS 6 - 9 – ISSUE OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS TO DIRECTORS
6.1 General
These Resolutions seek Shareholder approval for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of an aggregate of 17,554,976 Performance Rights to the Directors, Adam McKinnon, Craig Stranger, Joshua Gordon and Fadi Diab (or their nominee(s)) ( Incentive Performance Rights ) as follows:
- (a) 1,684,992 Class A Performance Rights, 1,684,992 Class B Performance Rights and 1,684,992 Class C Performance Rights to Adam McKinnon (or his nominee(s)) (being the subject of Resolution 6);
11
6813-02/3605475_16
-
(b) 2,500,000 Class D Performance Rights, to Craig Stranger (or his nominee(s)) (being the subject of Resolution 7);
-
(c) 5,000,000 Class D Performance Rights to Joshua Gordon (or his nominee(s)) (being the subject of Resolution 8); and
-
(d) 2,500,000 Class D Performance Rights and 2,500,000 Class E Performance Rights to Fadi Diab (or his nominee(s)) (being the subject of Resolution 9).
The terms and conditions of the Incentive Performance Rights are set out in Schedule 4.
6.2 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 Incentive Performance Rights should these Resolutions be passed. For this reason, the Directors do not believe that it is appropriate to make a recommendation on these Resolutions.
6.3 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 each being a Director.
As the Incentive Performance Rights 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.
6.4 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.
12
6813-02/3605475_16
6.5 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 may need to consider alternative means to remunerate the Directors, including through cash payments, which may not be as financially beneficial to the Company.
These Resolutions are separate and can be passed independently of each other.
6.6 Technical information required by Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act

The Services Agreement also covers reimbursement for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, adhering to a pre-approved expense policy, and requires all activities to conform to the governing laws of Western Australia.

The proposed issue does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2. While the issue does not exceed the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and can therefore be made without breaching 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 under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 so that it does not use up any of its 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 10 is not passed, the Company will still be able to proceed with the issue of the Performance Rights to Sixty Two Capital (or its nominees), but it will reduce, to that extent, the Company’s capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for 12 months following the issue.

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 9:

This Resolution seeks Shareholder ratification for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of 7,000,000 Advisory Options to Sixty Two Capital on 13 September 2024 in consideration for corporate advisory services provided by Sixty Two Capital.
8.2 Listing Rule 7.1
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 2.2 above.
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 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 the issue.
8.3 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.
8.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If this Resolution is passed, the issue 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 the issue.
If this Resolution is not passed, the issue 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 the issue.

9. RESOLUTIONS 12 AND 13 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF PLACEMENT SHARES - LISTING RULES 7.1 AND 7.1A
9.1 Background
As announced on 10 February 2025, the Company received firm commitments from existing and new institutional, professional and sophisticated investors of the Company to raise a total of $1,523,491 (before costs) through the issue of up to 34,624,793 Shares at an issue price of $0.044 per Share ( Placement ).
The Shares under the Placement were issued on 18 February 2025 pursuant to the Company’s available ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A capacity.
All participants in the Placement ( Placement Participants ) will also receive, subject to Shareholder approval, one (1) option to acquire a Share for every two (2) Shares subscribed for and issued under the Placement ( Free Attaching Options ). Each Free Attaching Option will have an exercise price of $0.075 and an expiry date that is three (3) years from its issue date and otherwise be issued on the terms set out in Schedule 8.
The Placement was conducted without a broker and led by the Company. The Company engaged a number of licensed AFSL holders ( AFSL Holders ) to assist with placing Shares under the Placement. The Company agreed to pay a 6% cash fee for funds raised under the Placement and issue one (1) Option per 10 Shares placed by the AFSL Holders ( AFSL Options ).
The AFSL Options will be issued subject to Shareholder approval on the same terms as the Free Attaching Options.
The purpose of the Placement was to raise capital for:
(a) initial diamond drilling at the Happy Valley and Twist Creek Trends within the Myrtleford Project in Victoria, Australia;
-
(b) confirmatory and extensional drilling at the Company’s Yoquivo Silver Project in Chihuahua, Mexico; and
-
(c) for general working capital.
9.2 General
These Resolutions seek Shareholder ratification for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of an aggregate of 34,624,793 Shares at an issue price of $0.044 per Share to raise $1,523,49.
17,774,876 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being, the subject of Resolution 12) and 16,849,917 Shares were issued on 18 February 2025 pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A (being, the subject of Resolution 13).
9.3 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 2.2 above.
19
6813-02/3605475_16
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 31 May 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.
9.4 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.
9.5 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 12-month 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.
9.6 Technical information required by Listing Rules 7.4 and 7.5

In assessing whether a conversion of an Incentive Performance Right would result in a contravention of the General Prohibition:
-
(i) holders may give written notification to the Company if they consider that the conversion of an Incentive Performance Right may result in the contravention of the General Prohibition. The absence of such written notification from the holder will entitle the Company to assume the conversion of an Incentive Performance Right will not result in any person being in contravention of the General Prohibition; and
-
(ii) the Company may (but is not obliged to) by written notice to a holder request a holder to provide the written notice referred to in paragraph (o)(i) within 7 days if the Company considers that the conversion of an Incentive Performance Right may result in a contravention of the General Prohibition.

The following is a summary of the key terms and conditions of the Performance Rights to be issued to Sixty Two Capital:
(a) Vesting Condition
The Performance Rights shall vest upon either the completion of 12 months of continuous service or the achievement of a 20-day VWAP of $0.075 ( Vesting Condition ).
- (b) Notification to holder
The Company shall notify the holder in writing when the Vesting Condition has been satisfied.
- (c) Conversion
Subject to paragraph (o), upon vesting, each Performance Right will, at the election of the holder, convert into one Share.
- (d) Expiry Date
Each Performance Right shall otherwise expire on or before the date that is three (3) years from the date of issue ( Expiry Date ). If the Vesting Condition has not been achieved by the Expiry Date, all unconverted Performance Rights will automatically lapse at that time.
(e) Consideration
The Performance Rights will be issued for nil consideration, and no consideration will be payable upon the conversion of the Performance Rights into Shares.
- (f) Share ranking
All Shares issued upon the vesting of Performance Rights will upon issue rank pari passu in all respects with other existing Shares.
(g) Application to ASX
The Performance Rights will not be quoted on ASX. The Company must apply for the official quotation of a Share issued on conversion of a Performance Right on ASX within the time period required by the ASX Listing Rules.
(h) Timing of issue of Shares on conversion
Within 5 business days after the date that the Performance Rights are converted, the Company will:
-
(i) issue the number of Shares required under these terms and conditions in respect of the number of Performance Rights converted;
-
(ii) if required, give ASX a notice that complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act, or, if the Company is unable to issue such a notice, lodge with ASIC a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act and do all such things necessary to satisfy section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors; and
-
(iii) if admitted to the Official List of ASX at the time, apply for official quotation on ASX of Shares issued pursuant to the conversion of the Performance Rights.
If a notice delivered under paragraph (h)(ii) for any reason is not effective to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors, the Company must, no later than 20 business days after becoming aware of such notice being ineffective, lodge with ASIC a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act and do all such things necessary to satisfy section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors.
- (i) Transfer of Performance Rights
The Performance Rights are not transferable.
36
6813-02/3605475_16
(j) Participation in new issues
A Performance Right does not entitle a holder (in their capacity as a holder of a Performance Right) to participate in new issues of capital offered to holders of Shares such as bonus issues and entitlement issues without exercising the Performance Right.
(k) Reorganisation of capital
If at any time the issued capital of the Company is reorganised (including consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return), all rights of a holder will be changed in a manner consistent with the applicable ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act at the time of reorganisation.
(l) Adjustment for bonus issues of Shares
If the Company makes a bonus issue of Shares or other securities to the Company’s existing shareholders (other than an issue in lieu or in satisfaction of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment) the number of Shares or other securities which must be issued on the conversion of a Performance Right will be increased by the number of Shares or other securities which the holder would have received if the holder had converted the Performance Right before the record date for the bonus issue.
(m) Dividend and voting rights
The Performance Rights do not confer on the holder an entitlement to vote (except as otherwise required by law) or receive dividends.
- (n) Change in control
Subject to paragraph (o), upon:
(i) a bona fide takeover bid under Chapter 6 of the Corporations Act having been made in respect of the Company and:
-
(A) having received acceptances for not less than 50.1% of the Company’s Shares on issue; and
-
(B) having been declared unconditional by the bidder; or
-
(ii) a Court granting orders approving a compromise or arrangement for the purposes of or in connection with a scheme for the reconstruction of the Company or its amalgamation with any other company or companies; or
-
(iii) in any other case, a person obtains Voting Power (as defined in the Corporations Act) in the Company that the Board (which for the avoidance of doubt will comprise those Directors immediately prior to the person acquiring that Voting Power) determines, acting in good faith and in accordance with their fiduciary duties, is sufficient to control the composition of the Board,
then, to the extent the Performance Rights have not converted into Shares due to satisfaction of the relevant Vesting Condition, Performance Rights will accelerate vesting and will automatically convert into Shares on a one-for-one basis.
(o) Deferral of conversion if resulting in a prohibited acquisition of Shares
If the conversion of a Performance Right under paragraphs (c) or (n) would result in any person being in contravention of section 606(1) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( General Prohibition ) then the conversion of that Performance Right shall be deferred until such later time or times that the conversion would not result in a contravention of the General Prohibition. In assessing whether a conversion of a Performance Right would result in a contravention of the General Prohibition:
- (i) holders may give written notification to the Company if they consider that the conversion of a Performance Right may result in the contravention of the General Prohibition. The absence of such written notification from the holder will entitle the Company to assume the conversion of a Performance Right will not result in any person being in contravention of the General Prohibition; and
37
6813-02/3605475_16
- (ii) the Company may (but is not obliged to) by written notice to a holder request a holder to provide the written notice referred to in paragraph (o)(i) within 7 days if the Company considers that the conversion of a Performance Right may result in a contravention of the General Prohibition. The absence of such written notification from the holder will entitle the Company to assume the conversion of a Performance Right will not result in any person being in contravention of the General Prohibition.
(p) No rights to return of capital
A Performance Right does not entitle the holder to a return of capital, whether in a winding up, upon a reduction of capital or otherwise.
(q) Rights on winding up
A Performance Right does not entitle the holder to participate in the surplus profits or assets of the Company upon winding up.
(r)
ASX Listing Rule compliance
The Board reserves the right to amend any term of the Performance Rights to ensure compliance with the ASX Listing Rules.
(s) No other rights
A Performance Right gives the holder no rights other than those expressly provided by these terms and conditions and those provided at law where such rights at law cannot be excluded by these terms.
