EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

The Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the purposes of the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules.

2. Resolution 1 – Approval of Remuneration Report

2.1 Introduction

The Remuneration Report is in the Company's Annual Report.

By way of summary, the Remuneration Report:

  • (a) explains the Company's remuneration policy and the process for determining the remuneration of its Directors and executive officers;

4

  • (b) addresses the relationship between the Company's remuneration policy and the Company's performance; and

  • (c) sets out remuneration details for each Director and each of the Company's executives and group executives named in the Remuneration Report for the financial year ended on 31 December 2022.

Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires companies to put a resolution to their members that the Remuneration Report be adopted. The vote on this resolution is advisory only, however, and does not bind the Board or the Company. The Board will consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by Shareholders on the Remuneration Report at the Meeting when reviewing the Company's remuneration policies.

The Chair will give Shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask questions about or to make comments on the Remuneration Report.

2.2 Voting Consequences

Under the Corporations Act, if 25% or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive annual general meetings, Shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those annual general meetings on a resolution that a further meeting is held at which all of the Company’s Directors who were directors when the resolution to make the directors report considered at the later annual general meeting was passed (other than the Managing Director) must go up for re-election ( Spill Resolution ).

If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.

All of the directors of the company who were directors of the company when the resolution to make the directors’ report considered at the second annual general meeting was passed, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.

Voting on Resolution 1 will be determined by a poll at the Meeting.

3. Resolution 2 – Re-Election of Director: Michael Stirzaker

3.1 Introduction

ASX Listing Rule 14.4 provides that a director of an entity must not hold office (without reelection) past the third annual general meeting following the director’s appointment or 3 years, whichever is the longer, and that a director appointed by way of an addition to the existing board of directors or to fill a casual vacancy must also not hold office (without reelection) past the company’s next annual general meeting. These requirements, in respect of a newly listed company, like the Company, only apply in respect of directors appointed from the time of a company’s admission to the Official List.

However, Rule 6.1(f)(i) of the Company’s Constitution provides:

  • (f) An election of directors must take place at each annual general meeting and at that meeting:

  • (i) excluding any director who is required to retire at that meeting under Rule 6.1(e) and the managing director, or if there is more than one managing director, the first of them to be appointed:

    • (A) one-third of the remaining directors (rounded down, if necessary, to the nearest whole number); and

5

  • (B) any other director who, if he or she does not retire, will at the conclusion of the meeting have been in office for three or more years or for three or more annual general meetings since he or she was last elected to office (whichever is longer),

must retire from office as director, and

  • (ii) if no director is required to retire under Rules 6.1(e) or 6.1(f)(i), at least one director, excluding the managing director (or if there is more than one managing director, the first of them to be appointed), must retire from office as director.

Rule 6.1(d) of the Company’s Constitution also provides that the Board may appoint a Director as an addition to the existing board of directors, who holds office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting following the appointment. Rule 6.1(e) of the Company’s Constitution provides that a director, other than a managing director, appointed under rule 6.1(d) must retire from office at the next annual general meeting following his or her appointment. Rule 6.1(i) of the Company’s Constitution provides that a director retiring from office under Rules 6.1(e) or 6.1(f) is eligible for re-election and that director may by resolution of the Company be re-elected to that office.

3.2 Michael Stirzaker

Mr Stirzaker retires by rotation and offers himself for re-election.

The experience, qualifications and other information about Mr Stirzaker appears below:

Mr Stirzaker has over 35 years’ commercial experience, mainly in mining finance and mining investment. He began his career in Sydney as a Chartered Accountant with KPMG before moving into investment banking with the HSBC Group and then Kleinwort Benson in London. From 1993 to 2007 he was part of the natural resource advisory and investment firm, RFC Group, where he became Joint Managing Director.

He has also been a shareholder and Director of Tennant Metals, a privately owned physical metal trader and investor, and was the Finance Director of Finders Resources, an ASX listed company producing copper in Indonesia.

From 2010 until 2019, Mr Stirzaker was a partner with the private equity mining fund manager, Pacific Road Capital, and since then, has been a Non-Executive Director on several company boards.

Presently, Mr Stirzaker is the Non-Executive Chairman of Base Resources Limited since 26 November 2021 (and a Non-Executive Director of Base Resources Limited since 19 November 2014), a Non-Executive Director of Firestone Diamonds PLC (since 22 July 2019) and a Non-Executive Director of Southern Palladium Limited since its incorporation on 4 December 2020 (Southern Palladium Limited was listed on the ASX on 8 June 2022).

Mr Stirzaker has been the Non-Executive Chairman of the Company since 22 August 2020.

The Board (with Mr Stirzaker abstaining) unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the re-election of Mr Stirzaker.

The chairman of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of this item of business.
