2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

2.1 General

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of the company.

The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.

2.2 Voting consequences

A company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.

If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.

All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.

Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.

2.3 Previous voting results

At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

5. RESOLUTIONS 4 AND 5 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE – SHARES

5.1 General

On 17 October 2019, the Company issued 184,375,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.032 per Share to raise $5,900,000 (before costs).

This Resolution seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of those Shares ( Ratification ).

ASX 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.

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

Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an eligible entity may 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 in October 2018.

The effect of these Resolutions will be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1 and the additional 10% annual placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1A without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

5.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the Ratification:

  • (a) A total of 184,375,000 Shares were issued on 17 October 2019 as follows:

  • (i) 110,937,500 Shares under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • (ii) 73,437,500 Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A;

  • (b) the issue price was $0.032 per Share;

  • (c) the Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (d) the Shares were issued to professional and sophisticated investors; and

  • (e) the funds raised from the issue will be used to further the exploration of the Carlow Castle gold project, to repay the Riverfort convertible note debt (~$4.6 million), and for working capital.

By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

6. RESOLUTION 6 – GRANT OF SHARES TO RELATED PARTY

6.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue up to 5,000,000 Shares to Sheikh Maktoum Hasher Maktoum Al Maktoum (or his nominee) ( Related Party ) as part of a remuneration package with consists of directors fees of $120,000 per annum.

This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the grant of the Shares to the Related Party.

6.2 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,

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

The grant of Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit, and Sheikh Maktoum Hasher Maktoum Al Maktoum is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

The Directors (other than Sheikh Maktoum Hasher Maktoum Al Maktoum; who has not participated in Board deliberation on the proposed issue) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the grant of Shares because the agreement to grant the Shares, reached as part of the remuneration package for Sheikh Maktoum Hasher Maktoum Al Maktoum, is reasonable remuneration given the Company and Sheikh Maktoum Hasher Maktoum Al Maktoum’s circumstances.

6.3 ASX Listing Rule 10.11

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.

As the grant of the Shares involves the issue of securities to a related party of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.

6.4 Technical Information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to this Resolution:

  • (a) the Shares will be issued to Sheikh Maktoum Hasher Maktoum Al Maktoum (or his nominee);

  • (a) the number of Shares to be issued is no more than 5,000,000;

  • (b) the Shares will be granted no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Shares will occur on the same date;

  • (c) the Shares will be issued as part of a remuneration package paid to Sheikh Maktoum Hasher Maktoum Al Maktoum, and accordingly no funds will be raised;

  • (d) the Shares are to be issued at a deemed issue price of 3.7 cents per share being the 30 day VWAP of Shares prior to 15 October 2019 (to reflect approximately two years from the date of Sheikh Maktoum Hasher Maktoum Al Maktoum’s appointment). Accordingly, an estimate of

the total deemed value of the Shares to be issued to Sheikh Maktoum Hasher Maktoum Al Maktoum using the VWAP of the 30 days prior to this Notice is $185,000; and

  • (e) the Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares.

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Shares as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Shares to Sheikh Maktoum Hasher Maktoum Al Maktoum (or his nominee) will not be included in the use of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1

7. RESOLUTION 7 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY

7.1 General

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity (as defined below) may seek shareholder approval by special resolution passed at an annual general meeting to have the capacity to issue up to that number of Equity Securities (as defined below) equal to 10% of its issued capital (10% Placement Capacity ) without using that company’s existing 15% annual placement capacity granted under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:

  • (a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and

  • (b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300,000,000.

As outlined above, ASX Listing Rule 7.1A can only be utilised by a company that is an Eligible Entity on the date of that company’s annual general meeting.

In the event that, on the date of the Annual General Meeting the Company:

  • (a) is included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and/or

  • (b) has a market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) in excess of $300,000,000,

then this Resolution will not be considered or voted on at the Meeting. A resolution to approve a 10% Placement Capacity cannot then be proposed at any Shareholders meeting held before the Company’s next annual general meeting. However at each subsequent annual general meeting, the Company may consider whether it is an Eligible Entity and whether it will seek approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A for the following 12 month period.

An Equity Security is a share, a unit in a trust, a right to a share or unit in a trust or option, an option over an issued or unissued security, a convertible security, or, any security that ASX decides to classify as an equity security.

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company currently has one class of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code:ARV).

If Shareholders approve this Resolution, the number of Equity Securities the Company may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2.

This Resolution is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of this Resolution for it to be passed.

7.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution:

(a) Minimum Price

The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 ASX trading days of the date in section (i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(b) Date of Issue

The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:

  • (i) 12 months after the date of this Meeting; and

  • (ii) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking) (after which date, an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A ceases to be valid),

( 10% Placement Capacity Period ).

(c) Risk of voting dilution

Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.

If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2), on the basis of the market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issue as at 18 October 2019.

The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.

*The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The table above uses the following assumptions :

  1. There are currently 933,754,600 Shares on issue.

  2. The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 18 October 2019.

  3. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity. 4. The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  4. The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.

  5. The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

  6. This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  7. The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

  8. The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Capacity, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • (ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.

(d) Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity

The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for the following purposes:

(i) as cash consideration in which case the Company intends to use funds raised towards the acquisition of new resources, assets and investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition), continued exploration expenditure on the Company’s current projects (funds would then be used for project, feasibility studies and ongoing project administration), and / or general working capital; or

(ii) as non-cash consideration for joint venture, licensing or collaboration agreements, or the acquisition of new projects (although the Company presently has no proposal to do so), and in such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by listing Rule 7.1A.3.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.

(e) Allocation policy under the 10% Placement Capacity

The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.

The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:

  • (i) the purpose of the issue;

  • (ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;

  • (iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;

  • (v) prevailing market conditions; and

  • (vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

  • Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new resources, assets or investments, it is likely that the recipients under the 10% Placement Capacity will be vendors of the new resources, assets or investments.

(f) Previous approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 30 October 2018 ( Previous Approval ).

The Company has issued 74,437,500 Shares pursuant to the Previous Approval.

The total number of Equity Securities issued in the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting is 300,460,830 representing 47 % of the total number of Equity Securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

Further details of the issues of Equity Securities by the Company during the 12-month period preceding the date of the Meeting are set out in Schedule 3.

(g) Compliance with ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A

When the Company issues Equity Securities pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity, it must give to ASX:

(i) a list of the recipients of the Equity Securities and the number of Equity Securities issued to each (not for release to the market), in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.4; and

  • (ii) the information required by Listing Rule 3.10.5A for release to the market.

7.3 Voting Exclusion

A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not invited any existing Shareholder to participate in an issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Therefore, no existing Shareholders will be excluded from voting on this Resolution.

8. RESOLUTION 8 – ISSUE OF SHARES - AIM CAPITAL RAISING

8.1 Introduction

On 22 July 2019 Shareholders approved, in conjunction with a proposed admission to the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) of the London Stock Exchange plc (AIM Listing), the issue of Shares to raise up to £5 million (AIM Capital Raising).

In accordance with the Listing Rules, the approval was for 3 months, and expires on 22 October 2019. The Company is working with UK-based legal counsel and nominated advisor, and is targeting to complete the AIM Listing in the fourth quarter of 2019; although given delays the AIM Capital Raising will not occur before 22 October 2019.

Resolution 11 seeks a further approval from Shareholders to issue shares under the AIM Listing to raising up to £5,000,000 under the AIM Capital Raising.

The terms of issue under Resolution 12 are the same as the terms of the issue previously approved by Shareholders in July 2019.

The effect of Resolution 8 will be to allow the Company to issue the Shares pursuant to the AIM Capital Raising 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.

The maximum number of Shares to be issued under the AIM Capital Raising is dependent upon the then prevailing Company’s Share price and the £:A$ exchange rate. Following are 3 worked examples of the number of Shares to be issued:

5 day VWAP Exchange Rate (A$1 equals) Exchange Rate (A$1 equals) Exchange Rate (A$1 equals)

158,730,159 19 151,515,152 19 144,927,536 18

8.2 Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the issue under the AIM Capital Raising:

(a) The maximum number of Shares to be issued is that number of Shares at the AIM Listing Issue Price which equal up to £5,000,000. Refer section 7.1 to the work example of the number of shares to be issued under different scenarios.

(b) The Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of all the Shares pursuant to the Capital Raising will occur on the same date.

(c) The issue price of the Shares will be at least 80% of the volume weighted average market price (as defined in the Listing Rules for Shares calculated over the last 5 days on which sales in Shares were recorded before the day on which an offer document for the AIM Listing is signed (AIM Listing Issue Price).

(d) The Shares will be issued to investors yet to be identified, but who will not be related parties of the Company.

(e) The terms of the equity securities: the Shares will rank equally in all respects with existing Shares on issue.

(f) The Company intends to use funds raised from the AIM Capital Raising for diamond and reversecirculation (RC) drilling, an extended heritage survey and a sub-audio magnetic survey (SAM) at the Carlow Castle Au-Cu Project, a geochemical survey at the Armada Prospect in the east Pilbara, and for general working capital.

(g) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice of Meeting.

8.3 Directors’ recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 8 as this will allow the Company to issue securities to complete the AIM Listing whilst preserving the Company’s 15% annual limit permitted by Listing Rule 7.1.

9. RESOLUTION 9 - APPROVAL TO ISSUE UP TO 200,000,000 SHARES

9.1 Background

Resolution 9 seeks Shareholder approval for the allotment and issue of up to 200,000,000 Shares.

The purpose of Resolution 9 would be to enable the Company to undertake a placement to provide the Company with additional funding to enable the Company to continue with its planned exploration programs and to meet the Company’s working capital requirements. This funding is in addition to or in place of the funding under the AIM Capital Raising for which approval is sought under Resolution 8.

9.2 ASX Listing Rule Requirements

Resolution 9 seeks Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of 200,000,000 Shares.

The effect of Resolution 9 will be to allow the Company to issue up to 200,000,000 Shares 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.

As at the date of this Explanatory Statement, the Company has 933,754,600 Shares on issue. Assuming no further Shares are issued (including issues the subject of the Resolutions), the effect of issuing 200,000,000 Shares would be to dilute existing Shareholders by 17.64%.

9.3 ASX Listing Rule Disclosure Requirements

The following information is provided in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3:

(a) The maximum number of equity securities the entity is to issue: 200,000,000.

(b) The date by which the entity will issue the equity securities: it is anticipated that, subject to Shareholder approval, the Shares will be allotted and progressively issued no later than three months after the date of the General Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules). It is intended that issue of all the Shares pursuant to the Capital Raising will occur progressively.

(c) The issue price of the Equity Securities: the Shares will be issued at a price that is at least 80% of the volume weighted average market price for Shares, where the average is calculated, in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3.3, over the last five days on which sales in Shares were recorded before the day on which the issue will be made.

(d) The names of the allottees (if known) or the basis upon which the allottees will be identified or selected: the allottees of the Shares are not currently known but, will be institutional and sophisticated investors and will be selected on the basis of their ability to provide funding to the Company pursuant to the placement, if undertaken. None of these parties will be related parties of the Company.

(e) The terms of the equity securities: the Shares will rank equally in all respects with existing Shares on issue.

(f) The intended use of the funds raised: if undertaken, the funds to be raised by the Company in any placement would be intended to be used for the following purposes:

  • (i) exploration expenditure in relation to the Company’s projects; and

  • (ii) general working capital requirements of the Company.

  • (g) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

9.4 Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 9 as it will allow the Company to issue Shares to raise necessary funds to continue with its exploration programme and to meet the Company’s working capital requirements whilst preserving the Company’s 15% annual limit permitted by Listing Rule 7.1.
