Pursuant to the Constitution and Listing Rule 14.4, any Director so appointed holds office only until the next annual general meeting and is then eligible for election by Shareholders but shall not be taken into account in determining the Directors who are to retire by rotation (if any) at that meeting.

5. RESOLUTION 5 – APPROVAL OF 7.1A MANDATE
5.1 General
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 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 period.
However, under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity may seek shareholder approval by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25% ( 7.1A Mandate ).
An ‘eligible entity’ means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300,000,000 or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes.
As at the date of this Notice, the Company is an eligible entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $41,730,637 (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 26 October 2021).
Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% placement capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A, and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
12
5.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1A
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to Resolution 5:
(a) Period for which the 7.1A Mandate is valid
The 7.1A Mandate will commence on the date of the Meeting and expire on the first to occur of the following:
-
(i) the date that is 12 months after the date of this Meeting;
-
(ii) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; and
-
(iii) the time and date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change in the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the main undertaking).
(b)
Minimum price
Any Equity Securities issued under the 7.1A Mandate must be in an existing quoted class of Equity Securities and be issued at a minimum price of 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
(i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the entity and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in Section 5.2(b)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
-
(c) Use of funds raised under the 7.1A Mandate
The Company intends to use funds raised from issues of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate for:
-
(i) the acquisition of new resources, assets and investments including expenses associated with such an acquisition;
-
(ii) continued exploration expenditure on the Company’s current assets/or projects (funds would then be used for project, feasibility studies and ongoing project administration);
-
(iii) the development of the Company’s current business; or
-
(iv) general working capital.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.
13
(d) Risk of Economic and Voting Dilution
Any issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.
If Resolution 5 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 7.1A Mandate, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in Listing Rule 7.1A.2, on the basis of the closing market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issue or proposed to be issued as at 26 October 2021.
The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 7.1A Mandate.

-
The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate.
-
The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
14
-
The issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities. If the issue of Equity Securities includes quoted Options, it is assumed that those quoted Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.
-
The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.
-
This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under Listing Rule 7.1 unless otherwise disclosed.
-
The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.
-
The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 7.1A Mandate, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:
-
(i) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
(ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.
(e) Allocation policy under the 7.1A Mandate
The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 7.1A Mandate have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.
The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 7.1A Mandate, having regard to the following factors:
-
(i) the purpose of the issue;
-
(ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue, share purchase plan, placement or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;
-
(iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;
-
(v) prevailing market conditions; and
-
(vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
(f) Previous approval under Listing Rule 7.1A
The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 25 November 2020 ( Previous Approval ).
15
During the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 30 November 2020, the Company has not issued any Equity Securities pursuant to the Previous Approval.
5.3 Voting Exclusion Statement
As at the date of this Notice, the Company is not proposing to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A. Accordingly, a voting exclusion statement is not included in this Notice.

Xcel Capital Pty Ltd (ACN 617 047 319) ( Xcel Capital ) acted as lead manager and book runner to the August Placement. The Company and Xcel Capital entered an agreement to set out the terms of Xcel Capital’s engagement ( Lead Manager Mandate ).
(a) Consideration
In consideration for the provision of its services, the Company agreed to:
-
(i) pay Xcel Capital an offer fee of 6% of the total amount raised under the August Placement (being $144,000 plus GST) ( August Offer Fee ); and
-

The Company agrees to offer Xcel Capital the lead role in any further equity capital raisings undertaken in connection with the Company within 18 months of completion of the August Placement.
The Lead Manager Mandate otherwise contains terms and conditions considered standard for an agreement of this kind.
7. RESOLUTION 6 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES – LISTING RULE 7.1
7.1 General
As summarised in Section 6.1 above, the Company issued the August Placement Shares on 19 August 2021 to raise $2,270,000 (before costs).
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 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.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, 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’s ability to utilise the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A for issues of equity securities following this Meeting remains conditional on Resolution 5 being passed at this Meeting.
The issue of the August 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 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 issue of the August Placement Shares.
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
17
Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the August Placement Shares.
Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the August Placement Shares.
7.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 6 is passed, the August 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 August Placement Shares.
If Resolution 6 is not passed, the August 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 that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the August Placement Shares.
It is noted that the Company’s ability to utilise the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A for issues of equity securities following this Meeting remains conditional on Resolution 5 being passed at this Meeting.
7.3 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 Resolution 6:
-
(a) the August Placement Shares were issued to the August Placement Participants who are clients of Xcel Capital. The August Placement Participants were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved Xcel Capital seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from non-related parties of the Company;
-
(b) in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the August Placement Participants 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) 5,675,000 August Placement Shares were issued, and the August 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;
-
(d) the August Placement Shares were issued on 19 August 2021;
-
(e) the issue price was $0.40 per August Placement Share. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the August Placement Shares;
18
-
(f) the purpose of the issue of August Placement Shares is to raise capital, which the Company intends to use in the manner set out in Section 6.1 above; and
-
(g) the August Placement Shares were not issued under an agreement.
8. RESOLUTION 7 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF AUGUST FEE SHARES
8.1 General
As set out in Section 6.2 above, the Company has agreed to pay Xcel Capital the August Offer Fee of $144,000 as consideration under the Lead Manager Mandate. The Company and Xcel Capital agreed that the August Offer Fee would be payable in Shares and on 19 August 2021, the Company issued 360,000 Shares to Xcel Capital in lieu of the August Offer Fee ( August Fee Shares ).
As summarised in Section 7.1 above, 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 securities it had on issue at the start of that 12 month period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, 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’s ability to utilise the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A for issues of equity securities following this Meeting remains conditional on Resolution 5 being passed at this Meeting.
The issue of the August Fee 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 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 issue of the August Fee Shares.
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 August Fee Shares.
Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the August Fee Shares.
8.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 7 is passed, the August Fee 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 August Fee Shares.
19
If Resolution 7 is not passed, the August Fee 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 that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the August Fee Shares.
It is noted that the Company’s ability to utilise the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A for issues of equity securities following this Meeting remains conditional on Resolution 5 being passed at this Meeting.
8.3 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 Resolution 7:
-
(a) the August Fee Shares were issued to Xcel Capital;
-

-
(ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;
-
(c) 360,000 August Fee Shares were issued and the August Fee 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;
-
(d)
-
the August Fee Shares were issued on 19 August 2021;
-
(e) the August Fee Shares were issued at a nil issue price, in lieu of payment of the August Offer Fee. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the August Fee Shares;
-
(f) the purpose of the issue of the August Fee Shares was to satisfy the Company’s obligations to pay the August Offer Fee under the Lead Manager Mandate; and
-
(g) the August Fee Shares were issued to Xcel Capital under the Lead Manager Mandate. A summary of the material terms of the Lead Manager Mandate is set out in Section 6.2.
9. RESOLUTION 8 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF AUGUST FEE OPTIONS
9.1 General
As set out in Section 6.2 above, the Company has agreed to issue Xcel Capital 1,750,000 Options to Xcel Capital for services pursuant to the Lead Manager Mandate ( August Fee Options ). On 19 August 2021, the Company issued the August Fee Options.
As summarised in Section 7.1 above, 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 securities it had on issue at the start of that 12 month period.
20
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, 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’s ability to utilise the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A for issues of equity securities following this Meeting remains conditional on Resolution 5 being passed at this Meeting.
The issue of the August Fee Options 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 issue of the August Fee Options.
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 August Fee Options.
Resolution 8 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the August Fee Options.
9.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 8 is passed, the August Fee Options 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 August Fee Options.
If Resolution 8 is not passed, the August Fee Options 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 that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the August Fee Options.
It is noted that the Company’s ability to utilise the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A for issues of equity securities following this Meeting remains conditional on Resolution 5 being passed at this Meeting.
9.3 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 Resolution 8:
-
(a) the August Fee Options were issued to Xcel Capital;
-
(b) in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the recipients were:
21
-
(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) 1,750,000 August Fee Options were issued and the August Fee Options were issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1;
-
(d) the August Fee Options were issued on 19 August 2021;
-
(e) the August Fee Options were issued at a nil issue price, in consideration for services provided by Xcel Capital pursuant to the Lead Manager Mandate. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the August Fee Options (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the August Fee Options);
-
(f) the purpose of the issue of the August Fee Options was to satisfy the Company’s obligations under the Lead Manager Mandate; and
-
(g) the August Fee Options were issued to Xcel Capital under the Lead Manager Mandate. A summary of the material terms of the Lead Manager Mandate is set out in Section 6.2.
10. RESOLUTIONS 9 TO 11 – ISSUE OF SHARES TO RELATED PARTIES
10.1 General
Each of the Directors wish to participate in the August Placement on the same terms as unrelated participants, as set out in Section 6.1 above.
Accordingly:
-
(a) Resolution 9 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of 175,000 Shares to Joshua Letcher (or his nominee);
-
(b) Resolution 10 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of 50,000 to Lincoln Ho (or his nominee); and
-
(c) Resolution 11 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of 100,000 to Troy Flannery (or his nominee),
(together, the Participation Shares ) as a result of the Director Participation on the terms set out below.
10.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
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,
22
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The Director Participation will result in the issue of Shares which constitutes giving a financial benefit and Messrs Letcher, Ho and Flannery are each a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
The Directors (other than Joshua Letcher who abstained) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of Resolution 9 because the Participation Shares will be issued to Joshua Letcher (or his nominee) on the same terms as August Placement Shares issued to the August Placement Participants (each of whom are a non-related party) in the August Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms, an exception under section 210 of the Corporations Act.
The Directors (other than Lincoln Ho who abstained) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of Resolution 10 because the Participation Shares will be issued to Lincoln Ho (or his nominee) on the same terms as August Placement Shares issued to the August Placement Participants (each of whom are a non-related party) in the August Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms, an exception under section 210 of the Corporations Act.
The Directors (other than Troy Flannery who abstained) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of Resolution 11 because the Participation Shares will be issued to Troy Flannery (or his nominee) on the same terms as August Placement Shares issued to the August Placement Participants (each of whom are a non-related party) in the August Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms, an exception under section 210 of the Corporations Act.
10.3 Section 195(4) of the Corporations Act
Section 195 of the Corporations Act provides that a Director of a public company may not vote or be present during meetings of Directors when matters in which that Director holds a “material personal interest” are being considered, except in certain limited circumstances. Section 195(4) provides that if there are not enough Directors to form a quorum for a Directors meeting because of this restriction, one or more of the Directors may call a general meeting and the general meeting may pass a resolution to deal with the matter.
It might be argued (but it is neither conceded nor, indeed, is it thought by the Board to be the case) that each of the Directors comprising the Board have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 9, 10 and 11 as an issue of Shares is proposed for each Director. If each does have such an interest, then in accordance with section 195(4) a quorum could not be formed to consider the matters contemplated by Resolutions 9, 10 and 11 at Board level.
Accordingly, for the avoidance of any doubt, and for the purpose of transparency and best practice corporate governance, the Company also seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of section 195(4) of the Corporations Act for the issue of Shares proposed under Resolutions 9, 10 and 11 and in respect of the Board decision to apply the arm’s length exception under section 210 of the Corporations Act to these issues.
23
10.4 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 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.
Resolutions 9 to 11 seek Shareholder approval for the Director Participation under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
10.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 9 to 11 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Shares 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 set out in Section 6.1 above. 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), the issue of the Shares will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolutions 9 to 11 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Shares under the Director Participation and no further funds will be raised in respect of the August Placement.
10.6 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 9 to 11:
(a) the Participation Shares will be issued to the following persons:
(i) Joshua Letcher (or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 9; (ii) Lincoln Ho (or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 10; and
24
- (iii) Troy Flannery (or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 11,
each of whom falls within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1 by virtue of being a Director;
-
(b) the maximum number of Participation Shares to be issued to the Related Parties (being the nature of the financial benefit proposed to be given) is 325,000 comprising:
-
(i) 175,000 Participation Shares to Joshua Letcher (or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 9;
-
(ii) 50,000 Participation Shares to Lincoln Ho (or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 10; and
-
(iii) 100,000 Participation Shares to Troy Flannery (or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 11,
-
(c) the Participation Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;
-
(d) the Participation Shares will be issued no later than 1 month 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 anticipated the Participation Shares will be issued on the same date;
-
(e) the issue price will be $0.40 per Participation Share, being the same issue price as Shares issued to other participants in the August Placement. The Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Participation Shares;
-
(f) the purpose of the issue of Participation Shares under the Director Participation is to raise capital, which the Company intends to use in the manner set out in Section 6.1 above;
-
(g) the Shares to be issued under the Director Participation are not intended to remunerate or incentivise the Related Parties; and
-
(h) voting exclusion statement is included in Resolutions 9 to 11 of this Notice.
11. RESOLUTION 12 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF MAY FEE SHARES
11.1 General
On 29 March 2021 the Company announced that they had agreed to conduct a placement of 10,300,000 Shares priced at an issue price of $0.20 per share to raise approximately $2,060,000 (before costs) ( May Placement ).
The Company engaged Xcel Capital to manage the May Placement pursuant to a lead manager mandate ( Xcel Mandate ). In consideration for its appointment as lead manager, the Company agreed to:
- (a) pay Xcel Capital an offer fee of 6% of the total amount raised under the May Placement (being $123,600 plus GST) ( May Offer Fee ); and
25
- (b) issue Xcel Capital (or its nominees) 2,800,000 unlisted Options exercisable at $0.234 on or before 9 September 2023 issued for $0.0001 payable at settlement of the May Placement.
In addition to the above fees, the Company will also reimburse Xcel Capital for out-of-pocket expenses.
In the event that the Company terminates the Xcel Mandate, or Xcel Capital terminates the Xcel Mandate for cause, Xcel Capital will be entitled to the reimbursement of any incurred or accrued reasonable expenses up to the date of termination.
The Xcel Mandate otherwise contains terms considered standard for an agreement of this type.
As noted above, the Company agreed to pay Xcel Capital the May Offer Fee as consideration for services provided by Xcel Capital in managing the May Placement. The Company and Xcel Capital agreed that the May Offer Fee would be payable in Shares and on 3 May 2021, the Company issued 667,800 Shares to Xcel Capital in lieu of the May Offer Fee ( May Fee Shares ).
The Company completed the May Placement on 3 May 2021 after obtaining Shareholder approval at the Company’s general meeting on 19 April 2021 to issue all the securities the subject of the May Placement except for the May Fee Shares.
11.2 Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A
As summarised in Section 7.1 above, 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 securities it had on issue at the start of that 12 month period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, 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’s ability to utilise the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A for issues of equity securities following this Meeting remains conditional on Resolution 5 being passed at this Meeting.
The issue of the May Fee 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 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 issue of the May Fee Shares.
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 May Fee Shares.

Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the May Fee Shares.
11.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 7 is passed, the May Fee 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 May Fee Shares.
If Resolution 7 is not passed, the May Fee 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 that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the May Fee Shares.

12. RESOLUTION 13 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES – MERIDIAN MINING
12.1 General
On 29 July 2021, the Company issued 441,176 Shares to Meridian 120 Mining Pty Ltd (ACN 138 194 831) ( Meridian Mining ) in consideration for the acquisition of exploration licence E57/1017, prospecting licence P59/2137 and all associated mining information, documents and agreements ( Meridian Consideration Shares ) under a binding heads of agreement dated 6 July 2021 ( Meridian Agreement ).
As summarised in Section 7.1 above, 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 securities it had on issue at the start of that 12 month period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, 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’s ability to utilise the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A for issues of equity securities following this Meeting remains conditional on Resolution 5 being passed at this Meeting.
The issue of the Meridian Consideration 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 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 issue of the Meridian Consideration Shares.
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 Meridian Consideration Shares.
Resolution 13 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Meridian Consideration Shares.
12.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 13 is passed, the Meridian Consideration 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 Meridian Consideration Shares.
If Resolution 13 is not passed, the Meridian Consideration 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 that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Meridian Consideration Shares.
28
It is noted that the Company’s ability to utilise the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A for issues of equity securities following this Meeting remains conditional on Resolution 5 being passed at this Meeting.
12.3 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 Resolution 13:
-
(a) the Meridian Consideration Shares were issued to Meridian Mining;
-
(b) in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the recipients were:

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

-
(e) the Meridian Consideration Shares were issued at a nil issue price, in consideration for the acquisition of exploration licence E57/1017, prospecting licence P59/2137 and all associated mining information, documents and agreements.

13. RESOLUTION 14 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE CONSIDERATION SHARES – MINING EQUITIES
13.1 General
On 29 July 2021, the Company entered into a binding heads of agreement with Mining Equities Pty Ltd (ACN 627 501 491) ( Mining Equities ) to issue 325,000 Shares in consideration for the acquisition of exploration licence applcation E58/571 and all associated mining information, documents and agreements ( ME Consideration Shares and ME Agreement ).
As summarised in Section 7.1 above, 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.
29
The proposed issue of the ME Consideration Shares does not fit 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.
13.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 14 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the ME Consideration Shares. In addition, the issue of the ME Consideration Shares 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 14 is not passed, the issue of the ME Consideration Shares can still proceed 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.
Resolution 14 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the ME Consideration Shares.
13.3 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 14:

-
(g) the ME Consideration Shares are being issued to Mining Equities under the ME Agreement. A summary of the material terms of the ME Agreement is set out in Schedule 2; and
-
(h) the ME Consideration Shares are not being issued under, or to fund, a reverse takeover.
14. RESOLUTION 15 – RATIFICATION OF AGREEMENT TO ISSUE CONSIDERATION SHARES – TRAFALGAR RESOURCES
14.1 General
The Company has agreed to issue 275,000 Shares to Trafalgar Resources Pty Ltd (ACN 612 053 166) ( Trafalgar Resources ) in consideration for the acquisition of exploration licence application E58/555 and all associated mining information, documents and agreements ( Trafalgar Consideration Shares ) under a binding heads of agreement dated 8 October 2021 ( Trafalgar Agreement ).
As summarised in Section 7.1 above, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue, or agree to 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.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, 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’s ability to utilise the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A for issues of equity securities following this Meeting remains conditional on Resolution 5 being passed at this Meeting.
The agreement to issue the Trafalgar Consideration 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 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 issue of the Trafalgar Consideration Shares.
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, or agreement to 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 agreement to issue the Trafalgar Consideration Shares.
Resolution 15 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the agreement to issue of the Trafalgar Consideration Shares.
31
14.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 15 is passed, the Trafalgar Consideration 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 Trafalgar Consideration Shares.
If Resolution 15 is not passed, the Trafalgar Consideration 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 that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Trafalgar Consideration Shares.
It is noted that the Company’s ability to utilise the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A for issues of equity securities following this Meeting remains conditional on Resolution 5 being passed at this Meeting.
14.3 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 15:

15. RESOLUTION 16 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE FUTURE PLACEMENT SHARES
15.1 General
The Company is proposing to issue up to 10,000,000 Shares at an issue price not less than 80% of the volume weighted average price ( VWAP ) of the Company’s Shares for the 5 trading days prior to the date of issue ( Future Placement Shares ).
As summarised in Section 7.1 above, 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 Future Placement Shares does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
15.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 16 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Future Placement Shares. In addition, the issue of the Future Placement Shares 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 16 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Future Placement Shares.
Resolution 16 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Future Placement Shares.
15.3 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 16:
-
(a) the Future Placement Shares will be issued to professional and sophisticated investors who are clients of Xcel Capital Pty Ltd. The recipients will be identified through a bookbuild process, which will involve Xcel Capital seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from non-related parties of the Company;
-
(b) in accordance with paragraph 7.2 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the recipients will be:
-
(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) the maximum number of Future Placement Shares to be issued is 10,000,000. The Future Placement Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;
-
(d) 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
33
any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Future Placement Shares will occur on the same date;
-
(e) the issue price of the Future Placement Shares will be not less than 80% of the VWAP of the Company’s Shares for the 5 trading days prior to the date of issue of the Future Placement Shares. The Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Future Placement Shares;
-
(f) the purpose of the issue of the Future Placement Shares is to raise capital, which the Company intends to apply towards exploration and definition of the Narndee Nickel-PGE project, new business opportunities, costs of the offer and working capital;
-
(g) the Future Placement Shares are not being issued under an agreement; and
-
(h) the Future Placement Shares are not being issued under, or to fund, a reverse takeover.
15.4 Use of Funds
To calculate the potential funds that could be raised by the issue of the Future Placement Shares, the table below uses values of $0.397, $0.596 and $0.199 being the volume weighted average price for Shares on the 5 days on which sales in Shares were recorded before 15 October 2021, and the volume weighted prices which are 50% higher and 50% lower than that price. To calculate the potential funds that could be raised under this Resolution, discounted figures of $0.318, $0.477 and $0.159, have been used, being an issue price, which is 80% of the volume weighted average prices set out below.
| VWAP | VWAP Discount (80% of VWAP) |
Maximum Funds Raised |
|---|---|---|
| $0.199 | $0.159 | $1,590,000 |
| $0.397 | $0.318 | $3,180,000 |
| $0.596 | $0.477 | $4,770,000 |
15.5 Dilution
Assuming no Options are exercised, no convertible securities are converted or other Shares issued and the maximum number of Future Placement Shares as set out above are issued, the number of Shares on issue would increase from 68,080,803 (being the number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice) to 78,080,803 and the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by 12.8%.
16. RESOLUTION 17 – AMENDMENT TO CONSTITUTION
A company may modify or repeal its constitution or a provision of its constitution by special resolution of Shareholders.
Resolution 17 is a special resolution which will enable the Company to amend its existing Constitution ( Amended Constitution ). The amendments to the existing Constitution include:
34

STEP 1 – APPOINT A PROXY
If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy, please write the name of that Individual or body corporate. A proxy

STEP 2 - VOTES ON ITEMS OF BUSINESS
You may direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your shares will be voted in accordance with such
a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on the items of business, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote on that item will be invalid.
APPOINTMENT OF SECOND PROXY
You may appoint up to two proxies. If you appoint two proxies, you should complete two separate Proxy Voting Forms and specify the percentage or number each proxy may exercise.
