EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared to assist Shareholders in consideration of resolutions proposed for a General Meeting of the Company to be held on Tuesday 10 October 2024 commencing at 10:30am (Adelaide time ACDT). The venue for the meeting is the Terrace Hotel, Botanical Room, 208 South Terrace, Adelaide South Australia.

It should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Notice of General Meeting.

Resolution 1 – Ratification of Issue of Placement Shares

Background

On 21 August 2024 the Company announced a Capital Raising, comprising a share placement of up to $3.4 million from institutional and professional/sophisticated investors and a 1 for 13 Entitlement Offer to raise funds to progress the Great White Project, including advanced plant design and engineering, product and market development, technical, financial and legal activities to support the funding process for project development and ongoing working capital requirements.

On or about 26 August 2024 the Company completed the Placement issuing 283,333,344 Shares pursuant to its capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 ( Placement Shares ). Each Placement Share has a free attaching Placement Option, subject to issue of a prospectus and Shareholder approval.

The purpose of Resolution 1 is to seek Shareholder approval and ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 of the issue of Placement Shares undertaken without Shareholder approval in August 2024.

Regulatory Requirements

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 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.

The Placement Shares did not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not yet been approved by the Company’s 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 issue date.

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 into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. To this end, Resolution 1 seeks shareholder approval to the Placement Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If Resolution 1 is passed, the Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.

Listing Rules Information Requirements

In accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 1:

  • (a) The Placement Shares were issued to various institutional and professional/sophisticated investors (being investors identified by the Joint Lead Managers or existing Shareholders and excluding any related parties, members of Key Management Personnel, substantial Shareholders or advisers).

  • (b) The Company issued a total of 283,333,344 Placement Shares using its placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (the subject of Resolution 1). The Placement Shares are fully-paid ordinary shares in the Company and rank equally with all other Shares on issue.

  • (c) The Placement Shares were issued on or about 26 August 2024.

  • (d) The Placement Shares were issued at a price of 1.2 cents per share.

Page | 5

  • (e) As announced to the ASX on 21 August 2024, the intended use of the funds raised was to progress the Great White Project, including advanced plant design and engineering, product and market development, technical, financial and legal activities to support the funding process for project development and ongoing working capital requirements.

  • (f) The key terms of the Placement are the Placement Shares were issued at $0.012 each, with participants entitled to a free attaching Placement Option (subject to issue of a prospectus and Shareholder approval).

Voting exclusion statement

The Company will disregard any votes cast in favour on Resolution 1 by or on behalf of any person who participated in the Placement and any person associated with those persons.

However, this does not apply to a vote cast in favour of a resolution by:

  • (i) a person as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the resolution, in accordance with directions given to the proxy or attorney to vote on the resolution in that way; or

  • (ii) the chair of the meeting as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the resolution, in accordance with a direction given to the chair to vote on the resolution as the chair decides; or

  • (iii) a holder acting solely in a nominee, trustee, custodial or other fiduciary capacity on behalf of a beneficiary provided the following conditions are met:

  • the beneficiary provides written confirmation to the holder that the beneficiary is not excluded from voting, and is not an associate of a person that is excluded from voting, on the resolution; and

  • the holder votes on the resolution in accordance with directions given by the beneficiary to the holder to vote in that way.

Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors consider that the ratification of the Placement Shares is beneficial for the Company as it allows the Company to retain the flexibility to issue further securities representing up to 15% of the Company’s share capital during the next 12 months.

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1. The Chair intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1.

Resolution 2 – Approval of Issue of Placement Options

Background

As noted above, on 21 August 2024 the Company announced a Capital Raising, comprising a share placement of up to $3.4 million from institutional and professional/sophisticated investors and a 1 for 13 Entitlement Offer to raise funds to progress the Great White Project, including advanced plant design and engineering, product and market development, technical, financial and legal activities to support the funding process for project development and ongoing working capital requirements.

On or about 26 August 2024 the Company completed the Placement issuing 283,333,344 Shares pursuant to its capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 ( Placement Shares ).

Each Placement Share issued has a free attaching Placement Option, which will be issued subject to Shareholder Approval.

The purpose of Resolution 2 is to seek Shareholder approval the issue of the Placement Options pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.

The Placement Options did not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rules 7.1

Resolution 2 seeks the required Shareholder approval to the issue of the Placement Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 2 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Placement Options and Placement participants will receive their free attaching Placement Options. In addition the issue of the Placement Options will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issued without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (f) The key terms of the Placement are that each investor subscribed by one Placement Share at $0.012, and will receive a free attaching Placement Option on the terms set out in Annexure 1, subject to Resolution 2 being approved.

Voting exclusion statement

The Company will disregard any votes cast in favour on Resolution 2 by or on behalf of any person who is expected to participate in, or who will obtain a material benefit as a result of, the proposed issue of the Placement Options (except a benefit solely by reason of being the holder of ordinary securities in the Company), and person associated with those persons.

However, this does not apply to a vote cast in favour of a resolution by:

Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors consider that the approval of the Placement Options is beneficial for the Company as it allows the Placement participants to receive their free attaching Placement Options, the exercise of which may provide up to approximately $5 million additional working capital to the Company.

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2. The Chair intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 2.

Resolution 3 – Approval of Issue of Broker Options

Background

As noted above, on 21 August 2024 the Company announced a capital raising, comprising a Placement and Entitlement Offer.

Henslow Pty Ltd ( Henslow ) and PAC Partners Securities Pty Ltd ( PAC Partners ) acted as Joint Lead Managers to the Placement and the Entitlement Offer.

Page | 7

As part of their fees for acting as Joint Lead Managers, Henslow and PAC Partners are entitled to fees of 6% of the funds received on the Placement, a 2% management fee on all amounts raised under the Entitlement Offer (including any shortfall), and an additional 4% fee on any shortfall of the Entitlement Offer placed by them.

All fees are to be split equally between them.

The Joint Lead Managers are also entitled to 20 million Broker Options in total .

The purpose of Resolution 3 is for Shareholders to approve the issue of the Broker Options pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.

Regulatory Requirements

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 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.

The Broker Options did not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1. While the issue of the Broker Options 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 into the future without having to obtain shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. To do this, the Company is asking Shareholders to approve the issue of the Broker Options under Listing Rule 7.1 so it does not use up any of the 15% limit on issuing equity securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

To this end, Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval to the issue of the Broker Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will proceed with the issue of the Broker Options and Joint Lead Managers will receive these as part of their fees. In addition, the issue of the Placement Options will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issued without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company can proceed with the issue of the Broker Options 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.

Listing Rules Information Requirements

In accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 3:

  • (a) The Broker Options will be issued to Joint Lead Managers or their nominees, namely Henslow or its nominees will receive 10 million Broker Options and PAC Partners or its nominees will receive 10 million Broker Options.

  • (b) The number of Broker Options to be issued is 20 million in total.

  • (c) The Broker Options are in the same class as the Placement Options and are each exercisable for one Share at $0.0175 and expire on 30 September 2027. Full terms and conditions are set out in Annexure 1 to this Explanatory Memorandum.

  • (d) If Resolution 3 is approved, the Company intends to issue the Broker Options on or about 11 October 2024 and in any case within 3 months from the date of the Meeting.

  • (e) The Broker Options will be issued at cost of $0.00001 each, and the Company will receive $0.0175 per Broker Option exercised.

  • (f) The Broker Options are issued to satisfy the Joint Lead Manager fees for the Capital Raising.

  • (g) The key terms of the Joint Lead Manager engagement are that in return for services associated with acting as Joint Lead Managers they are entitled to fees of 6% of amounts raised under the Placement, a 2% management fee on amounts raised under the Entitlement Offer (including the shortfall) and an additional 4% on any shortfall under the Entitlement Offer placed by them (with fees to be split equally between them). In addition they are also entitled to 20 million Broker Options, subject to Shareholder approval.

  • (h) The Broker Options are not being issued under, or to fund, a reverse takeover.

Voting exclusion statement

The Company will disregard any votes cast in favour on Resolution 3 by Henslow, PAC Partners or on behalf of any person who is expected to participate in, or who will obtain a material benefit as a result of, the proposed issue of the Broker Options (except a benefit solely by reason of being the holder of ordinary securities in the Company), and person associated with those persons.

However, this does not apply to a vote cast in favour of a resolution by:

  • (i) a person as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the resolution, in accordance with directions given to the proxy or attorney to vote on the resolution in that way; or

  • (ii) the chair of the meeting as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the resolution, in accordance with a direction given to the chair to vote on the resolution as the chair decides; or

  • (iii) a holder acting solely in a nominee, trustee, custodial or other fiduciary capacity on behalf of a beneficiary provided the following conditions are met:

  • the beneficiary provides written confirmation to the holder that the beneficiary is not excluded from voting, and is not an associate of a person that is excluded from voting, on the resolution; and

  • the holder votes on the resolution in accordance with directions given by the beneficiary to the holder to vote in that way.

Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors consider that the approval of Resolution 3 is beneficial for the Company as it allows the Joint Lead Managers to receive the Broker Options as fees, the exercise of which may provide up to $350,000 additional working capital to the Company.

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3. The Chair intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 3.

Resolution 4 and 5– Approval to issue Shortfall Shares and Shortfall Options to related parties

Background

As noted above, on 21 August 2024 the Company announced a Capital Raising, comprising the Placement and Entitlement Offer.

The purpose of Resolution 4 and 5 is to seek Shareholder approval to allow directors, Ms Sue-Ann Higgins and Mr Luke Anderson (or their nominees), to take up to $10,000 and $25,000 of the Shortfall of the Entitlement Offer respectively, pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11.

Regulatory Requirements

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 issued 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 o 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 of Shortfall Shares and Shortfall Options to directors falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolutions 4 and 5 seek the required Shareholder approval to issue the Shortfall Shares and Shortfall Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

If Resolutions 4 and 5 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Shortfall Shares and Shortfall Options to Ms Sue-Ann Higgins and Mr Luke Anderson (or their respective nominees).

If Resolution 4 or 5 is not passed the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Shortfall Shares and Shortfall Options to Ms Sue-Ann Higgins or Mr Luke Anderson (respectively) and the Company will need to place that Shortfall with other investors, if possible.

Page | 9

The issue of the Shortfall Shares and Shortfall Options the subject of Resolutions 4 and 5 will only be made to the extent there is Shortfall and applications may be scaled back as outlined in the Prospectus lodged with ASIC and ASX on 27 August 2024.

The Company will disregard any votes cast in favour on Resolution 4 and 5 by or on behalf of any person who is expected to participate in the issue (being Ms Higgins for Resolution 4 and Mr Anderson for Resolution 5), or who will obtain a material benefit as a result of, the proposed issue (except a benefit solely by reason of being the holder of ordinary securities in the Company), and person associated with those persons.

However, this does not apply to a vote cast in favour of a resolution by:

  • (i) a person as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the resolution, in accordance with directions given to the proxy or attorney to vote on the resolution in that way; or

  • (ii) the chair of the meeting as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the resolution, in accordance with a direction given to the chair to vote on the resolution as the chair decides; or

  • (iii) a holder acting solely in a nominee, trustee, custodial or other fiduciary capacity on behalf of a beneficiary provided the following conditions are met:

  • the beneficiary provides written confirmation to the holder that the beneficiary is not excluded from voting, and is not an associate of a person that is excluded from voting, on the resolution; and

  • the holder votes on the resolution in accordance with directions given by the beneficiary to the holder to vote in that way.

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,

Page | 10

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporation Act.

The issue of the Shortfall Securities contemplated by Resolution 4 and 5 constitutes giving a financial benefit and Ms Sue-Ann Higgins and Mr Luke Anderson are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

The Directors (other than Ms Sue-Ann Higgins and Mr Luke Anderson) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of Resolutions 4 and 5 because participation in the Shortfall of the Entitlement Offer is on the same terms as all other investors in the Entitlement Offer and the Shortfall and is therefore on arm’s length terms.

Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors consider that the approval of Resolution 4 and 5 is beneficial for the Company as it allows the shortfall of the Entitlement Offer to be placed to Ms Sue-Ann Higgins and Mr Luke Anderson.

The Directors (other than Ms Higgins and Mr Anderson) unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4 and 5. The Chair intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 4 and 5.

ANNEXURE 1

SUMMARY OF TERMS OF OPTIONS

The Placement Options, Broker Options and Shortfall Options are all in the same class and will be issued on the following terms and conditions:

(a) Entitlement Each Option entitles the holder to acquire by way of issue one Share on exercise of the Option. (b) Exercise Price Subject to paragraph (h) below, the exercise price of the Options will be $0.0175 ( Exercise Price ). (c) Expiry Date Each Option will expire at 5.00pm (AEST) on 30 September 2027 ( Expiry Date ). An Option not exercised by the Expiry Date will automatically lapse at that time at that time. (d) Exercise Period The Options are exercisable at any time on or prior to the Expiry Date ( Exercise Period ). (e) Notice of Exercise A Notice of Exercise is only effective on and from the later of the date of receipt of the Notice of Exercise and the date of receipt of the payment of the applicable Exercise Price for each Option being exercised in cleared funds ( Exercise Date ). A minimum of 100,000 Options may be exercised under each Notice of Exercise. If a Shareholder holds less than 100,000 Options, all of the Options held by them must be exercised in one Notice of Exercise. (f) Timing of issue of Shares on exercise As soon as practicable after the Exercise Date, the Company will: (i) issue the number of Shares required under these terms and conditions in respect of the number of Options specified in the Notice of Exercise and for which cleared funds have been received by the Company; and (ii) if admitted to the Official List at the time, apply for official quotation on ASX of Shares issued on the exercise of the Options. (g) Shares issued on exercise Shares issued on exercise of the Options will rank equally in all respects with the then issued Shares. (h) Reconstruction of capital If at any time the issued capital of the Company is reconstructed, all rights of a holder of Options are to be changed in a manner consistent with the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules and any other applicable laws or regulations at the time of the reconstruction. (i) Participation in new issues There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Options and holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to Shareholders during the currency of the Options without exercising the Options and unless Shares have been issued in respect of the Options before the record date for determining entitlements to the issue. (j) Change in Exercise Price There will be no change to the applicable Exercise Price of an Option or the number of Shares over which an Option is exercisable in the event of the Company making a pro rata issue of Shares or other securities to the holders of Shares (other than for a Bonus Issue). (k) Bonus issue If before the expiry of any Options, the Company makes a pro rata issue of Shares to Shareholders for no consideration ( Bonus Issue ), the number of Shares over which an Option is exercisable will be increased by the number of Shares which the holder would have received if the Option had been exercised before the record date for the Bonus Issue.

(l) Transferability

The Options are transferable and application will be made for quotation on ASX.

(m) Voting Holders of Options have no voting rights until the Options are exercised and Shares issued on exercise of those Options in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules.
