EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to assist Shareholders in deciding how to vote on the Resolutions.
1. RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2 – RATIFICATION OF AGREEMENT TO ISSUE SHARES PURSUANT TO THE PLACEMENT
1.1 Background
On 15 September 2023, the Company announced that it has entered into placement agreements with certain institutional investors ( Placement Subscribers ), pursuant to which the Placement Subscribers have agreed to subscribe by way of a placement for a total of 48,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.012 per Share ( Placement ). The proposed issue of Shares under the Placement is not subject to Shareholder approval and therefore was agreed to by the Company using its existing placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A as follows:
-
(a) 20,000,000 Shares were agreed to be issued under the Company’s 10% annual placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A ( 7.1A Placement ); and
-
(b) 28,000,000 Shares were agreed to be issued under the Company’s 15% placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 ( 7.1 Placement ).
Under the terms of the Placement and subject to Shareholder approval being obtained under Listing Rule 7.1, the Placement Subscribers are also entitled to receive three (3) New Options for every four (4) Shares subscribed for under the Placement. All New Options to be granted under the Placement are to be quoted on the ASX.
The Shares under the Placement are anticipated to be issued on or about 21 September 2023, being prior to the General Meeting.
Funds to be raised under the Placement is anticipated to be used toward further developing its pilot testing in connection with the Lake Throssell Sulphate of Potash (SOP) Project, located in the Laverton region of Western Australia as well as for general working capital purposes.
Resolutions 1 and 2 seek Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.4 for the approval and ratification of the Company’s agreement to issue the Shares under the Placement.
1.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A
Generally, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number 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.
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 the 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1 by an extra 10% to 25%. The Company previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 29 November 2022 which means that the Company had this additional placement capacity available to it in relation to the issue of Shares under the 7.1A Placement. The Listing Rules provide that issues, or agreements to issue, made in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A can be ratified.
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 (or under Listing Rule 7.1A, as the case may be).
7
1.3 Shareholder approval sought
The Company’s agreement to issue the Shares under the Placement does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it has used up part of the Company’s 25% limit under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval.
Under Resolutions 1 and 2, the Company seeks Shareholder approval for, and ratification of, the Placement under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 so as to retain as much flexibility as possible (under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A) to issue additional Equity Securities without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolutions 1 and 2 are passed, the Shares to be issued under the Placement will be excluded from the calculation of the Company’s combined 25% limit under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A and will no longer be counted towards the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without further Shareholder approval.
If Resolutions 1 and 2 are not passed, the Shares to be issued under the Placement will continue to be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, and (as some of the capacity to issue further Shares will have been used) will continue to restrict the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval.
If only one of Resolutions 1 and 2 is passed (and the other is not passed), then the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities will continue to be restricted to the extent the relevant Resolution is not approved.
1.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5 in connection with the 7.1A Placement (Resolution 1)
For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided to Shareholders in relation to the 7.1A Placement:
-

For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided to Shareholders in relation to the 7.1 Placement:
- (a) The Shares are to be issued to clients of GBA Capital (which acted as lead manager and corporate advisor to the Placement) who are sophisticated or professional

1.6 Board Recommendation
The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of each of Resolutions 1 and 2. Each Director currently intends to vote their respective shareholders in favour of each of Resolutions 1 and 2.
2. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE NEW OPTIONS PURSUANT TO THE PLACEMENT
2.1 Background
As noted in Section 1.1 above, under the terms of the Placement and subject to Shareholder approval being obtained under Listing Rule 7.1, the Placement Subscribers are also entitled to receive three (3) New Options for every four (4) Shares subscribed for under the Placement. All New Options to be granted under the Placement are to be quoted on the ASX.
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the approval of the Company to grant a total of 36,000,000 New Options to the Placement Subscribers of the Placement.
2.2 Listing Rule 7.1
Please refer to Section 1.2 above for information regarding Listing Rule 7.1.
2.3 Shareholder approval sought
The proposed issue of New Options under the Placement will exceed the 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1 and therefore requires approval of Shareholders under Resolution 3.
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the grant the New Options to the Placement Subscribers under the Placement. In addition, the grant of the New Options will be excluded from the calculation of the number of Equity Securities that the Company can use without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the grant the New Options to the Placement Subscribers under the Placement.

Under the Project Acquisition Agreement, the Company has agreed to issue such number of Consideration Shares equal to the value of $295,000, based on a share price equal to the 5- day VWAP of Shares for the five trading days up to the Completion Date, will be issued to Andromeda ( Project Consideration ).
The remaining Consideration Shares and Deferred Consideration Shares are to be distributed to the Rush Vendors on a pro rata basis.
Subject to obtaining Shareholder approval under Resolutions 4 and 5, completion under the Share Sale Agreement and the Project Acquisition Agreement (together, the Proposed Acquisitions ) are anticipated to occur in late October 2023.
3.3 Purpose of Resolutions 4 and 5
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the approval to issue the Consideration Shares to Andromeda and the Rush Vendors, in connection with the Proposed Acquisitions.
Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the approval to issue the Deferred Consideration Shares to the Rush Vendors, in connection with the Proposed Acquisitions.
The table below shows the number of Consideration Shares and Deferred Consideration Shares that may be issued under Resolutions 4 and 5, based on a range of Share prices:

11
3.5 Shareholder approval sought
The proposed issue of Consideration Shares and the Deferred Consideration Shares will exceed the 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1 and therefore requires approval of Shareholders under Resolutions 4 and 5.
The securities proposed to be issued, for which approval is sought under Resolution 4, comprise 14.72% of the Company’s fully diluted issued capital (based on the number of Equity Securities on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meeting).
The securities proposed to be issued, for which approval is sought under Resolution 5, comprise 7.04% of the Company’s fully diluted issued capital (based on the number of Equity Securities on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meeting).
If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Consideration Shares to acquire a 100% interest in Rush Resources and allow Rush Resources to acquire a 100% interest in the Drummond Gold Project. In addition, the issue of the Consideration Shares will be excluded from the calculation of the number of Equity Securities that the Company can use without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Consideration Shares to acquire the issued capital in Rush Resources and the Share Sale Agreement (and the associated Project Acquisition Agreement) will be terminated.
If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Deferred Consideration Shares within the timeframes set out in this Notice of Meeting (or such longer period as allowed by the ASX). In addition, the issue of the Deferred Consideration Shares will be excluded from the calculation of the number of Equity Securities that the Company can use 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 Deferred Consideration Shares unless Shareholder approval is obtained at a later stage or the Company is sufficient placement capacity at the time of issue of the Deferred Consideration Shares.
3.6 Waiver from Listing Rule 7.3.4
Listing Rule 7.3.4 requires a notice of meeting with a resolution under Listing Rule 7.1 to state that, if approved, the securities to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1 will be issued within three months of the date of the shareholders’ meeting.
Given the Deferred Consideration Shares are not able to be issued until the Performance Milestone is achieved, and that the Performance Milestone is unlikely to be achieved within three months after the Meeting, it is not possible for the Company to comply with Listing Rule 7.3.4 in respect of Resolution 5.
Accordingly, the Company has obtained a waiver from the ASX such that the Company is not required to comply with Listing Rule 7.3.4, subject to the following conditions:
-
(a) the Deferred Consideration Shares are issued no later than 2 years from the Completion Date (and no later than 31 October 2025 being the expiry date of the waiver) and are only issued on the achievement of the Company having undertaken a minimum of 2,000 metres of drilling and obtaining drilling intersections which, in aggregate, indicate at least 20 metres @ 1 g/t Au (or gold Equivalent[2] ) on the tenements the subject of the Project Acquisition Agreement;
-
(b) the Performance Milestone must not be varied;
2 Formula for calculating Au equivalent = Au g/t + ((Ag g/t *0.72)/(Au Price/31.103)) + ((Cu Price * Cu%)/(Au Price/31.103))+ ((Pb Price * Pb%)/(Au Price / 31.103))+((Zn Price * Zn%)/(Au Price/31.103)). Assuming metals prices of Au $1922/Oz, Ag $22.47/Oz, Cu $8115/t, Pb $2123/t and Zn $2279/t and cut-off grades of Au 0.5ppm, Ag 40ppm, Cu 0.3%, Pb 1% and Zn 1%.
12
-
(c) the relevant terms and conditions of the Deferred Consideration Shares are clearly set out in this Notice;
-
(d) the terms of the waiver are clearly disclosed in this Notice to ASX’s satisfaction;

-
(i) for any annual reporting period during which the Deferred Consideration Shares have been issued or remain to be issued, the Company’s annual report sets out the number of Deferred Consideration Shares issued in that annual reporting period, the number of Deferred Consideration Shares that remain to be issued and the basis on which the Deferred Consideration Shares may be issued.

If Resolution 7 is not passed, the Mahe Capital Options will continue to be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, and (as some of the capacity to issue further Shares will have been used) will continue to restrict the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval.

5.4 Board Recommendation
The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7. Each Director currently intends to vote their respective shareholders in favour of Resolution 7.
6. RESOLUTION 8 – APPROVAL TO PROVIDE TERMINATION BENEFITS TO MS KEREN PATERSON
6.1 Background
On 15 August 2023, the Company announced that Ms Keren Paterson resigned as Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer ( CEO ) of the Company after serving the Company for over 9 years in that role.
In compliance with the terms of Ms Paterson’s employment agreement with the Company and subject to Shareholder approval being sought to the extent necessary, the Company has agreed to provide Ms Paterson with the following in connection with Ms Paterson’s retirement from office:
-
(a) an amount equal to $75,000 (being equal to 3 months’ salary) in lieu of Ms Paterson’s three month notice period under her employment contract with the Company; and
-
(b) an amount equal to $300,000 (being equal to 12 months’ salary) by way of an exgratia payment in recognition of Ms Paterson’s length of service to the Company,
(together, the Termination Payments ).
In addition, subject to Shareholder approval being sought to the extent necessary under the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, and in accordance with the terms of the Company’s Employee Incentive Option Plan ( Plan ), the Board has agreed to use its discretion to allow the following unvested options that have been granted to Ms Paterson to be retained:
- (a) 1,608,413 unlisted options exercisable at $0.149 on or before 23 November 2026, which are not due to vest until 23 November 2023;
17
-
(b) 1,608,413 unlisted options exercisable at $0.149 on or before 23 November 2026, which are not due to vest until 23 November 2024; and
-
(c) 3,835,853 unlisted options exercisable at $0.066 on or before 1 December 2027, which are not due to vest until 1 December 2025,

(together, the Paterson Options ).
6.2 Corporations Act requirements
The Corporations Act restricts the benefits that can be given to persons who hold a “managerial or executive office” (as defined in the Corporations Act) on leaving their employment with the Company or any of its related bodies corporate.
Under section 200B of the Corporations Act, a company may only give a person a benefit in connection with them ceasing to hold a managerial or executive office if the benefit is approved by shareholders or an exemption applies.
Amendments to the Corporations Act in 2009 significantly expanded the scope of these provisions and lowered the threshold for termination benefits that do not require shareholder approval. The term “benefit” has a wide meaning and may include cash benefits as well as benefits resulting from the Board exercising certain discretions under the rules of the Plan, including the discretion to resolve to allow the Paterson Options remain unvested and therefore not to lapse in certain circumstances.
There is an exception to the termination benefit restrictions under section 200F of the Corporations Act which generally applies where the value of the benefits do not exceed one year’s fixed pay, as calculated in accordance with the Corporations Act. In addition, there are certain benefits which are excluded from the definition of “benefit” under the Corporations Act and which do no require Shareholder approval.
Given Ms Paterson’s role with the Company as Managing Director and CEO, the termination benefit restrictions in section 200B of the Corporations Act apply with the effect that, the Company may not give Ms Paterson a benefit in connection with her retirement as Managing Director and CEO of the Company, unless shareholder approval is obtained or an exemption applies.
The provision of the Termination Payment and the proposed determination that the Paterson Options remain unvested and on issue following termination of Ms Paterson’s employment with the Company may potentially contravene the termination benefit restrictions in section 200B of the Corporations Act, unless Shareholder approval is obtained. The Board considers that, given Ms Paterson’s valuable, significant and long service to the Company, it is appropriate to seek such Shareholder approval to enable the Company to provide the Termination Payment and to waive the vesting conditions attaching to the Paterson Options.
Accordingly, for the purposes of section 200B and 200E of the Corporations Act, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval under Resolution 8 to enable the Company to provide the Termination Payment to Ms Paterson and to allow the Paterson Options to remain unvested and on issue following termination of Ms Paterson’s employment with the Company. If Resolution 8 is not passed, Ms Paterson will only receive the maximum amount permitted under section 200B of the Corporations Act, being $300,000 and the Paterson Options will lapse.
6.3 Listing Rule requirements
Listing Rule 10.19 provides that a listed company must ensure that no officer of that company or its child entities will be or may be entitled to termination benefits other than with the prior approval of Shareholders if the value of those benefits and the termination benefits which are or may become payable to all officers together exceeds 5% of the equity interests of the company as set out in the latest annual accounts given to ASX.
The term “termination benefits” has a wide meaning and will include any cash benefits as well as benefits resulting from the Board exercising certain discretions under the rules of the Plan in connection with termination of employment.
18
As at the date of this Notice, the termination benefits the subject of Resolution 6 would exceed 5% of the equity interests of the Company set out in the latest annual accounts given to ASX (5% of $2,646,878 is $132,343.90)). Further details on the estimated value of the termination benefits is set out in Section 6.4 below. Accordingly, approval for the payment of the Termination Payment to Ms Paterson and to waive the vesting conditions attaching to the Paterson Options under Resolution 8 is sought for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.19.
6.4 Value of the Termination Benefits
The details of the termination benefits proposed to be provided to Ms Paterson in connection the termination of her employment with the Company are set out in Section 6.1. The value of those termination benefits are estimated to be approximately $400,613, which amount comprises:
-
(a) $75,000 in lieu of Ms Paterson’s three month notice period under her employment contract with the Company;
-
(b) $300,000 by way of an ex-gratia payment in recognition of Ms Paterson’s length of service to the Company; and
-
(c) $25,613, being the estimated value of the Paterson Options, using the Black Scholes option formula. Full details in respect of this valuation is set out in Schedule 5.
6.5 Board Recommendation
The Board considers that, given Ms Paterson’s valuable, significant and long service to the Company, it is appropriate that the Company provide the Termination Payment to Ms Paterson and to use its discretion to allow the Paterson Options to remain unvested and on issue following termination of Ms Paterson’s employment with the Company. Accordingly, the Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 8. Each Director currently intends to vote their respective shareholders in favour of Resolution 8.
