Explanatory Statement

This Explanatory Statement sets out the information which the Directors believe is material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

The Explanatory Statement forms part of the Notice which should be read in its entirety. The Explanatory Statement contains the terms and conditions on which the Resolutions will be voted.

1 Background to Resolutions

1.1 Placement

On 26 April 2023, the Company announced that it had received binding commitments for a placement to raise approximately $3 million before costs by the issue of 90,000,000 Shares ( Placement Shares ) and 45,000,000 new listed options with an exercise price of $0.10 and expiry date of 30 June 2025 ( Placement Options ) to sophisticated and professional investors ( 1[st] Tranche Placement ).

The Company will issue the Placement Shares and Placement Options under the 1[st] Tranche Placement ( 1[st] Tranche Placement Securities ) as follows:

  • (a) 35,728,917 Placement Shares which were issued on 5 May 2023; and

  • (b) 45,000,000 Placement Options expected to be issued on or about 31 May 2023,

pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being the subject of Resolution 1(a)); and

  • (c) 54,271,083 Placement Shares pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A (as approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 16 May 2022) (being the subject of Resolution 1(b)).

As announced on 5 May 2023, as a consequence of applications for Placement Shares made by a small number of qualified, long standing existing shareholders of the Company which were not able to be accepted as part of the 1[st] Tranche Placement due to the Company lacking the necessary capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, the Directors have resolved to raise an additional $170,000 (before costs) by the issue of 9,500,000 Placement Shares and 4,750,000 Placement Options ( 2[nd] Tranche Placement Securities ) to sophisticated and professional investors, subject to the receipt of shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 ( 2[nd] Tranche Placement ) (being the subject of Resolution 2).

The funds raised from the 1[st] Tranche Placement and 2[nd] Tranche Placement (after costs) are intended to be used as follows:

  • (a) $1,200,000 as an advance to the Los Llanos International Economic Association (“IEA”) (“Exploration Agreement”) between subsidiaries of Antilles Gold, and the Cuban Government’s mining company, GeoMinera SA, which will fund the initial 7,000m drilling program on the El Pilar, and Gaspar copper-gold porphyry deposits in central Cuba. Drilling will commence in around two weeks. This advance will be reimbursed by the joint venture that will be established between the same parties to hold the El Pilar concession after this initial program. The Joint Venture will carry out additional exploration of the porphyry deposits, and possible mine development. Antilles Gold will have no economic interest in these properties until the concession is held in the proposed joint venture;

  • (b) $1,200,000 contribution towards a commitment by a subsidiary of Antilles Gold to subscribe US$1,500,000 of share capital to the existing joint venture company, Minera La Victoria (“MLV”) to establish a 50% interest in the El Pilar gold-copper oxide deposit which overlays the porphyry system. The Cuban shareholder is currently transferring the oxide concession

to MLV at its agreed value of US$1,500,000 which will be paid for by the issue of MLV shares. The funds contributed by Antilles Gold will be spent by MLV on a 7,000m shallow (100m) drilling program on the gold and copper domains of the oxide deposit which have already been the subject of 24,000m of historic drilling, and 1,800m by Antilles Gold. Drilling commenced last week; and

  • (c) the balance will be used towards working capital and the costs of the Placement.

1.2 Corporate Advisor

On or about 18 April 2023, the Company and Prenzler Group Pty Ltd ( Corporate Advisor or Prenzler ) entered an investor relations, marketing and promotional services mandate pursuant to which the Corporate Advisor agreed to provide lead manager services in relation to the Placement in addition to investor relations advice and ongoing corporate advisory services to the Company ( Corporate Advisory Mandate ).

The material terms and conditions of the Corporate Advisory Mandate are set out below:

  • (a) ( Term ): The term of the Corporate Advisory Mandate commenced on 18 April 2023 and will continue for 6 months on an exclusive basis ( Term ).

  • (b) ( Services ): The services to be provided by the Corporate Advisor to the Company include (but are not limited to) the following, to:

  • (i) Investor relations;

  • (ii) develop and manage the capital raising structure, form and timetable in conjunction with the Company;

  • (iii) assist in the drafting and review of the capital raising documentation;

  • (iv) participate in the capital raising related meetings, including any with regulatory authorities such as ASIC and ASX, as and when required; and

  • (v) coordinate and manage the overall capital raising process alongside other relevant advisors as required.

  • (c) ( Fees ): As consideration for the services provided by the Corporate Advisor, the Company must:

  • (i) pay $2,500 (excluding GST) per calendar month during the Term (to be paid via the issue of 441,177 Shares to the Corporate Advisor (or its nominees), subject to Shareholder approval ( Corporate Advisor Shares ));

  • (ii) issue 5,000,000 quoted options on the same terms as Placement Options to the Corporate Advisor (or its nominees), subject to Shareholder approval ( Corporate Advisor Options ); and

  • (iii) if the Company undertakes a capital raising during the Term (including the Placement), the Corporate Advisor may participate in such capital raising and is entitled to a 6% capital raising fee on funds raised from parties introduced by the Corporate Advisor during the Term. The Capital Raising Fee is not payable by the Company in relation to funds raised from parties directly sourced by the Company, or others, during the Term.

  • (d) ( Expenses ): The Company has agreed to reimburse the Corporate Advisor for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in performing their role under the Corporate Advisory Mandate. The Corporate Advisor must seek the consent of the Company prior to incurring expenses more than $2,000.

The Corporate Advisory Mandate otherwise contains provisions considered standard for an agreement of its nature (including representations and warranties, indemnity provisions and confidentiality provisions).

2 Resolution 1 – Ratification of prior issue of 1[st] Tranche Placement Securities

2.1 General

As set out in section 1.1 above, 90,000,000 Placement Shares were issued on 5 May 2023, with an additional 45,000,000 Placement Options to be issued pursuant to the 1[st] Tranche Placement on or about 31 May 2023.

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the 1[st] Tranche Placement Securities.

Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

2.2 Listing Rules 7.1, 7.1A and 7.4

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more Equity Securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A an eligible entity can seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue Equity Securities comprising up to 10% of its issued capital. The Company obtained this approval at its annual general meeting held on 16 May 2022.

Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A), those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.

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 Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. To this end, Resolution 1 seeks shareholder approval for the issue of the 1[st] Tranche Placement Securities under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If Resolution 1, is passed, the 1[st] Tranche Placement Securities will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% limit under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the 1[st] Tranche Placement Securities (being 5 May 2023 in the case of the Placement Shares and 31 May 2023 in the case of the Placement Options).

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Placement Securities will be included in calculating the Company's 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% limit under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the 1[st] Tranche Placement Securities (being 5 May 2023 in the case of the Placement Shares and 31 May 2023 in the case of the Placement Options).

2.3 Specific 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 the ratification of the issue of the Placement Securities:

  • (a) The 1[st] Tranche Placement Securities were or will be issued to sophisticated and professional investors selected by the Company in consultation with Prenzler. In accordance

with ASX Guidance Note 21, paragraph 7.4, the Company confirms that none of the recipients:

  • (ii) 54,271,083 Placement Shares pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A (being the subject of Resolution 1 (b)).

  • (c) the Placement Shares issued were fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares on issue. The Placement Options were issued on the terms set out in Schedule 1;

  • (d) the Placement Shares were issued on 5 May 2023 and the Placement Options will be issued on 31 May 2023 (and in any event, not later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting) within the 15% annual limit permitted under Listing Rule 7.1 and the 10% limit permitted under Listing Rule 7.1A, without the need for Shareholder approval;

  • (e) the Placement Shares were issued at $0.034 per Share. The issue price of the Placement Options was nil as they were issued free attaching with the Placement Shares on a 1:2 basis.

3 Resolution 2 – Approval to issue 2[nd] Tranche Placement Securities

As set out in section 1.1 above, 9,500,000 Placement Shares and 4,750,000 Placement Options are to be issued to sophisticated and professional investors, subject to the receipt of shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1

Resolution 2 seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the 2[nd] Tranche Placement Securities.

Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

3.2 Listing Rule 7.1

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is contained in section 2.2.

Listing Rule 7.2 sets out various types of equity issues that are excluded from the operation of Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A. The issue of the 2[nd] Tranche Placement Securities does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The effect of Resolution 2 will be to allow the Company to proceed to issue the 2[nd] Tranche Placement Securities during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company's 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed to issue the 2[nd] Tranche Placement Securities.

  • (f) the proceeds from the issue of the 2[nd] Tranche Placement Securities will be used as set out in section 1.1;

  • (g) the 2[nd] Tranche Placement Securities will not be issued under an agreement; and

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is contained in section 2.2.

Listing Rule 7.2 sets out various types of equity issues that are excluded from the operation of Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A. The issue of the Corporate Advisor Securities does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Company to proceed to issue the Corporate Advisor Securities during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company's 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

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 need not be a Shareholder of the Company. Otherwise if you leave this box blank, the Chair of the Meeting will be appointed as your proxy by default.

DEFAULT TO THE CHAIR OF THE MEETING

Any directed proxies that are not voted on a poll at the Meeting will default to the Chair of the Meeting, who is required to vote these proxies as directed. Any undirected proxies that default to the Chair of the Meeting will be voted according to the instructions set out in this Proxy Voting Form, including where the Resolutions are connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of KMP.

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. If you do not specify a percentage or number, each proxy may exercise half the votes. You must return both Proxy Voting Forms together.
