E X PL A N A T O R Y S T A T E M E N T
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. RESOLUTION 1 AND RESOLUTION 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES
1.1 General
As announced by the Company on 19 December 2024, the Company secured binding commitments from new and existing institutional and sophisticated investors to raise A$16 million (before costs) through the issue of approximately 640 million fully paid ordinary Shares at an issue price of A$0.025 per Share ( Placement ).
These Resolutions seek Shareholder ratification for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of an aggregate of 640,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.025 per Share as follows:
-
(a) 155,000,000 Shares were issued on 27 December 2024 pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being, the subject of Resolution 1); and
-
(b) 485,000,000 Shares were issued on 27 December 2024 pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A (being, the subject of Resolution 2).
Euroz Hartleys Limited and Cannacord Genuity (Australia) Limited were engaged by the Company to act as the joint lead managers to the Placement. The Company agreed to pay the joint lead managers a 6% cash fee (comprising a 3% management fee and a 3% distribution fee) on the proceeds of the Placement.
Funds raised under the Placement together with the Company’s existing A$23 million will be used by the Company for the following:
-
(a) Completion of a PFS on the Minyari Project, followed by a DFS;
-
(b) Mineral resource definition drilling for the PFS and DFS;
-
(c) Resource extensional drilling;
-
(d) Additional exploration discovery focused drilling; and
-
(e) General working capital purposes.
1.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A
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 12 month period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A however, 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 obtained this approval at its annual general meeting held on 26 November 2024.
The issue did 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 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of the issue.
1.3 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.
3
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.
1.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If these Resolutions are passed, the issue 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 the approval at the Company’s annual general meeting on 26 November 2024.
If these Resolutions are not passed, the issue 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 the approval at the Company’s annual general meeting on 26 November 2024.
1.5 Technical information required by Listing Rules 7.4 and 7.5

This Resolution seeks the required Shareholder approval for the purposes of section 254 of the Corporations Act and all other purposes to consolidate the Company's issued capital ( Consolidation ).

-
(b) the proposed treatment of any fractional entitlements arising from the reorganisation; and
-
(c) the proposed treatment of any convertible securities on issue.
Listing Rule 7.22 provides that where an entity with options on issue undertakes a consolidation of its issued capital, the number of options must be consolidated in the same ratio as the ordinary capital and the exercise price must be amended in inverse proportion to that ratio.
