EXPLANATO RY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

1. RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES TO NEWCREST - LISTING RULES 7.1 AND 7.1A

1.1 General

As announced on 28 February 2020, the Company entered into a subscription agreement with Newcrest Operations Limited ( Newcrest ) pursuant to which Newcrest agreed to acquire a 9.9% shareholding in the Company through a placement of Shares at $0.017 per Share to raise approximately $3.9 million ( Subscription Agreement ). A summary of the material terms and conditions of the Subscription Agreement are set out in Schedule 1.

On 3 March 2020, the Company issued 228,472,719 Shares to Newcrest pursuant to the Subscription Agreement at an issue price of $0.017 per Share to raise $3,884,036 (before costs)( Newcrest Shares ).

20,839,467 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and 207,633,252 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A which was approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 22 November 2019.

1.2 Resolution 1 – Listing Rule 7.1

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.

1.3 Resolution 2 – Listing Rule 7.1A

Listing Rule 7.1A provides that in addition to issues permitted without prior shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1, an entity that is eligible and obtains shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A may issue or agree to issue during the period for which the approval is valid a number of quoted equity securities which represents 10% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period as adjusted in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1.

Where an eligible entity obtains shareholder approval to increase its placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A then any ordinary securities issued under that additional placement capacity:

  • (a) will not be counted in variable “A” in the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A; and

  • (b) are counted in variable “E”,

until their issue has been ratified under Listing Rule 7.4 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1A) or 12 months has passed since their issue.

6

3258-03/2374909_5

As the issue of the Newcrest Shares has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Newcrest Shares.

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 Newcrest Shares.

Resolutions 1 and 2 seek Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Newcrest Shares.

1.4

Listing Rule 7.4

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 Newcrest Shares

1.5

Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 1 and 2 are passed, the Newcrest 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 Newcrest Shares.

If Resolutions 1 and 2 are not passed, the Newcrest 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 the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Newcrest Shares.
