As all Directors are eligible to participate in the applicable employee incentive scheme the subject of this Resolution, the Chair, being a Director, would be a Resolution 5 Excluded Party, and is therefore excluded from voting as a proxy unless in accordance with directions on the Proxy Form (i.e. the Chair is not permitted to vote as a proxy for undirected proxies).
Voting Prohibition: A person appointed as a proxy must not vote, on the basis of that appointment, on this Resolution if the proxy is either a member of the Key Management Personnel or a Closely Related Party of such a member and the appointment does not specify the way the proxy is to vote on this Resolution.

Explanatory 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 – AIM Listing
1.1 General
The appetite from UK and European investors for gold opportunities is currently strong and, to provide the Company with access to new UK investment capital, on 25 March 2019 the Company announced that it was pursing admission to the Alternative Investment Market ( AIM ) of the London Stock Exchange plc ( AIM Listing ). Artemis has engaged UK-based legal counsel and appointed a Nominated Advisor and is on target for a Q3 AIM listing.
Resolutions 1 and 2 seek Shareholder approval to facilitate the AIM Listing through:
-
(a) raising up to £5,000,000 through the issue of Shares ( AIM Capital Raising ); and
-
(b) making certain amendments to the Company’s Constitution to satisfy AIM admission requirements.
Resolutions 1 and 2 are inter-conditional.
1.2 AIM Capital Raising
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.
The effect of Resolution 1 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.
The number of Shares to be issued under the AIM Capital Raising is dependent upon the then prevailing Company’s Share price and the £UK:$A exchange rate. Following are 3 worked examples of the number of Shares to be issued:
| 5 day VWAP | Exchange Rate (One $A equals) | Exchange Rate (One $A equals) | Exchange Rate (One $A equals) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| £0.525 | £0.55 | £0.575 | ||||
| Number | %1 | Number | %1 | Number | %1 | |
| $0.015 (half current Share price) |
634,920,635 | 49 | 606,060,606 | 48 | 579,710,145 | 47 |
| $0.030 (current share price) |
317,460,317 | 32 | 303,030,303 | 31 | 289,855,072 | 30 |
| $0.06 (double current share price) |
158,730,159 | 19 | 151,515,152 | 19 | 144,927,536 | 18 |
- 1 Dilution of existing Shareholders, assuming no other Shares are issued prior to the AIM Listing.
Artemis Resources Limited – Notice of General Meeting

1.3 Resolution 1 - Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the 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;
-
(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 Shares proposed to be 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;
-
(f) the Company intends to use funds raised from the AIM Capital Raising for diamond and reverse-circulation (RC) drilling, a extended heritage survey and a sub-audio magnetic survey (SAM) at the Carlow Castle Au-Cu Project and a geochemical survey at the Armada Prospect in the east Pilbara; and
-
(g) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice of Meeting.
2. Resolution 2 – Amendments to Constitution
2.1 Reason for the proposed amendments
Rule 17 of the AIM Rules for companies requires certain disclosure regarding voting rights once those rights exceed 3% of a company’s total voting rights.
The Constitution does not currently contain any provisions requiring a Shareholder to notify the Company without delay:
-
(a) in the event that the Shareholder acquires a direct or indirect ownership interest in Shares exceeding 3% of the issued and outstanding Shares from time to time; or
-
(b) of any changes to such Shareholder’s holding which increases or decreases such holding through any single percentage.
Such provisions are typically included in the constitutional documents of companies trading on AIM to enable compliance by the company with the disclosure requirements of Rule 17 of the AIM Rules for Companies.
Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the Company to amend the Constitution so as to oblige Shareholders to notify the Company in the event they become a ‘significant shareholder’ (as defined in the AIM Rules for Companies) or if there is an alteration by 1% or more in a significant shareholder’s holding of Shares.
Artemis Resources Limited – Notice of General Meeting
Page 9
2.2 Summary of the proposed amendments
In summary, the proposed amendments to the Constitution will require Shareholders to notify the Company of the percentage of voting rights held as a Shareholder or direct/indirect holder of financial instruments if, as a result of an acquisition or disposal of Shares or financial instruments (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, subscription shares), the percentage of those voting rights::
-
(a) reaches, exceeds, or falls below 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%,10% and each 1% thereafter up to 100%; or
-
(b) reaches, exceeds or falls below the above thresholds as a result of events changing the breakdown of voting rights and on the basis of information disclosed by the Company.
The proposed amendments to the Constitution are set out in full in Schedule 1. To assist Shareholders, a marked-up version of the Constitution showing the proposed amendments will be available on the Company’s website at: https://artemisresources.com.au/. Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.
Resolution 2 is a special resolution. A special resolution is one of which notice must be given in accordance with section 249L(1)(c) of the Corporations Act (which requires the setting out of the intention to propose a special resolution, and a statement of the resolution) and which has to be passed by at least 75% of the votes cast by members entitled to vote on the resolution.
2.3 Board recommendation
The Board unanimously recommend that Shareholders approve Resolutions 1 and 2, as they will facilitate the AIM Listing and both allow the Company access to European capital markets and may provide additional liquidity.
3. Resolution 3 – Non-executive Directors’ remuneration
ASX Listing Rule 10.17 provides that an entity must not increase the total aggregate amount of directors’ fees payable to all of its non-executive directors without the approval of holders of its ordinary securities.
Clause 14.7 of the Constitution also requires that remuneration payable to the non-executive Directors will not exceed the sum initially set by the Constitution and subsequently increase by ordinary resolution of Shareholders in general meeting.
The maximum aggregate amount of fees payable to all of the non-executive Directors is currently set at $150,000. Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval to increase this figure by $150,000 to $300,000.
This amount includes superannuation contributions made by the Company for the benefit of nonexecutive Directors and any fees which a non-executive Director agrees to sacrifice for other benefits. It does not include reimbursement of genuine out of pocket expenses, genuine “special exertion” fees paid in accordance with the Constitution, or securities issued to a non-executive Director under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 or 10.14 with approval of Shareholders.
The maximum aggregate amount of fees proposed to be paid to the non-executive Directors per annum has been determined after reviewing similar companies listed on ASX and the Directors believe that this level of remuneration is in line with corporate remuneration of similar companies.
The proposed limit is requested to ensure that the Company:
- (a) maintains its capacity to remunerate both existing and any new non-executive directors joining the Board;
Artemis Resources Limited – Notice of General Meeting
Page 10
-
(b) remunerates its non-executive Directors appropriately for the expectations placed upon them both by the Company and the regulatory environment in which it operates; and
-
(c) has the ability to attract and retain non-executive directors whose skills and qualifications are appropriate for a company of the size and nature of the Company.
In the past 3 years, the Company has issued a non-executive Director 10,000,000 Shares with prior Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rules 10.11 and 10.14.
Given the interest of the non-executive Directors in this Resolution, the Board makes no recommendation to Shareholders regarding this Resolution.
4. Resolutions 4 and 5 – Issue of Related Party Options – Messrs Edward Mead and Daniel Smith
4.1 General
The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue a total of 16,500,000 Options ( Related Party Options ) to Messrs Edward Mead and Daniel Smith (or their respective nominees) pursuant to the Company’s Incentive Option Plan approved by Shareholders on 29 November 2017 ( Option Plan ) and otherwise on the terms and conditions set out below.
4.2 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 must obtain shareholder approval unless an exception applies; including where the benefit to give the remuneration would be reasonable given the company’s and related party's circumstances (including the responsibilities involved in the office or employment).
The grant of the Related Party Options constitutes giving a financial benefit and Messrs Edward Mead and Daniel Smith are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors. However and upon the advice of BDO, an independent remuneration advisory firm, who consider the Related Party Options to be reasonable remunerations, the Company’s Chairman, Sheikh Maktoum Hasher al Maktoum, has determined that Shareholder approval is not required under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act. Nevertheless and as a matter of good corporate governance, the information required by Chapter 2E is included in this Explanatory Memorandum.
4.3 ASX Listing Rule 10.14
ASX Listing Rule 10.14 requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities under an employee incentive scheme to a director of the entity, an associate of the director, or a person whose relationship with the entity, director or associate of the director is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained.
4.4 Shareholder Approval
Pursuant to Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed grant of Related Party Options:
-
(a) the related parties are Messrs Edward Mead and Daniel Smith and they are related parties by virtue of being Directors ( Related Parties );
-
(b) the maximum number of Related Party Options (being the nature of the financial benefit being provided) to be granted to the Related Parties is 16,500,000 Related Party Options comprising:

| Daniel Smith4 | $50,000 | - |
Notes:
-
Mr Mead was appointed as Executive Director on 31 December 2014 and is currently paid a fee of $25,000 per month.

Mr Smith was appointed as a Non-Executive Director on 5 February 2019 and is currently paid a non-executive director’s fee of $4,167 per month.
(l) if the Related Party Options granted to the Related Parties are exercised, a total of 16,500,000 Shares would be issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 661,991,065 (being the number of Shares on issue at the date of this Notice) to 678,491,065 (assuming that no other Options are exercised and no other Shares are issued) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of approximately 1.10% by Edward Mead and 1.30% by Daniel Smith.
The market price for Shares during the term of the Related Party Options would normally determine whether or not the Related Party Options are exercised. If, at any time any of the Related Party Options are exercised and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the Related Party Options, there may be a perceived cost to the Company.
(m) the highest and lowest closing prices of Shares on ASX during the 12 months preceding the date of this Notice, and the closing price on the trading day before the date of this Notice, are set out below:
| Price | Date | |
|---|---|---|
| Highest | $0.23 | 24 September 2018 |
| Lowest | $0.034 | 21 May 2019 |

(n) the Board acknowledges the grant of the Related Party Options to Daniel Smith is contrary to Recommendation 8.2 of The Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (3rd Edition) as published by The ASX Corporate Governance Council. However, the Board considers the grant of these Related Party Options is reasonable in the circumstances for the reason set out in paragraph (p);
(o) the primary purpose of the grant of the Related Party Options to Edward Mead and Daniel Smith is to provide a performance linked incentive component in their remuneration package, to motivate and reward their performance in their respective roles as Directors, and to align their interests with Shareholders;
- (p) Sheikh Maktoum Hasher al Maktoum (who will not receive any Related Party Options) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 4 and 5 for the following reasons:
Artemis Resources Limited – Notice of General Meeting
Page 13
-
(i) the grant of the Related Party Options will align the interests of the Directors with those of Shareholders;
-
(ii) the grant of the Related Party Options is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given; and
-
(iii) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in granting the Related Party Options upon the terms proposed;
-
(q) Edward Mead declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 4 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that he (or his nominee) is to be granted Related Party Options in the Company should Resolution 4 be passed. However, in respect of Resolution 5, Edward Mead recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution for the reasons set out in paragraph (p);
-
(r) Daniel Smith declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 5 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that he (or his nominee) is to be granted Related Party Options in the Company should Resolution 5 be passed. However, in respect of Resolution 4, Daniel Smith recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution for the reasons set out in paragraph (p);
-
(s) in forming their recommendations, each Director considered the experience of each other Director, the market price of Shares, the current market practices when determining the number of Related Party Options to be granted as well as the exercise price and expiry date of those Related Party Options; and
-
(t) the Board is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolutions 4 and 5.
Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Related Party Options to the Related Parties (or their nominees) as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14. Accordingly, the issue of the Related Party Options will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
5. Resolution 6 – Ratification of prior issue of securities under 2018 Funding Agreement
5.1 General
On 30 November 2018, the Company announced that it had entered into a funding agreement ( 2018 Funding Agreement ) with London institutional group, Riverfort Global Capital Limited and YA II PN, Ltd ( Investors ) pursuant to which the Company secured US$3,931,681 in funding through the issue of convertible notes ( Convertible Notes (2018) ) to the Investors. The 2018 Funding Agreement was subsequently varied on 24 May 2019, with, amongst other things, the issue of further securities (the subject of Resolution 10).
The key terms of the 2018 Funding Agreement are set out in Schedule 4.

-
(b) 10,000,000 Shares; and
-
(c) 8,571,429 unlisted Options (exercisable $0.21 and expiring 30 November 2021) ( Funding Agreement (2018) Options ),
to the Investors in accordance with the terms of the 2018 Funding Agreement.
On 24 May 2019 the Company agreed to vary the 2018 Funding Agreement.
Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of those securities issued under the 2018 Funding Agreement on 30 November 2018.
A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 1.1. 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.
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, and the Convertible Notes (2018) and Funding Agreement (2018) Options can be converted to Shares without using the 15% capacity or further Shareholder approval.
The number of Shares to be issued on conversion of Notes is dependent upon the then prevailing Company’s Share price and the $US:$A exchange rate and is capped (without prior Shareholder approval) at 36,171,466 Shares. Following are 3 worked examples of the number of Shares to be issued and dilution to existing Shareholders, assuming the remaining Convertible Notes (2018) issued under the 2018 Investment Agreement (3,931,681 Convertible Notes (2018)) are converted:

97,078,543 | 13 | 93,611,452 | 12 | 90,383,471 | 12 |
1 Dilution of existing Shareholders, assuming no other Shares are issued prior to conversion. The Company is at the Meeting seeking Shareholder approval to issue Shares under the AIM Listing, SPP underwriting and Top-Up Placement. These issues will, if they occur, reduce the dilutive effect of the issue of Shares under the Convertible Notes (2018).

Following is a table that sets out the dilution effect of the SPP and Top-Up Placement (assuming no other Shares are issued):
| 5 day VWAP | Amount raised under SPP and Top-Up Placement | Amount raised under SPP and Top-Up Placement | Amount raised under SPP and Top-Up Placement | Amount raised under SPP and Top-Up Placement | Amount raised under SPP and Top-Up Placement | Amount raised under SPP and Top-Up Placement |

9.2 Listing Rules
The issue of Shares under the SPP does not require Shareholder approval as they will be issued pursuant to Exception 15 of ASX Listing Rule 7.2. However, the issue of Shares to the Underwriter and under the Top-Up Placement require Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1, and
Artemis Resources Limited – Notice of General Meeting
Page 22
the issue of Shares to Sheikh Maktoum Hasher al Maktoum under his sub-underwriting commitment requires Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11.
The effect of Resolutions 11 and 12 will be to allow the Company to issue the Shares to the Underwriter or its nominees (other than Sheikh Maktoum Hasher al Maktoum, who is the subject of Resolution 13) and under the Top-Up Placement 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.
The effect of Resolution 13 is to allow the Company to issue Shares to Sheikh Maktoum Hasher al Maktoum under his sub-underwriting of the SPP. ASX has granted a waiver of Listing Rule 10.13.5 (which requires a notice of meeting seeking shareholder approval to issue securities to a related party to include the security’s issue price) so that this Explanatory Memorandum can state the formula by which the issue price is calculated, rather than the issue price..
9.3 Resolution 11 - Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 11:
-
(a) the maximum number of Shares to be issued (excluding Shares the subject of Resolution 13) is equal to $1,500,000 divided by the Issue Price;

(c) the issue price of the Shares will be equal to the SPP Issue Price, being 80% of the volume weighted average market price of Shares over the last 5 days on which sales were recorded before the day on which the issue is made;
-

-
(e) the Shares proposed to be 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;
-
(a) the Company intends to use 30% funds raised towards redeeming Convertible Notes, further exploration to expand the resource at Carlow Castle and prepare a pre-feasibility study, and the balance for working capital; and
-
(b) a voting exclusion statement is in the Notice of Meeting.
9.4 Resolution 12 - Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 12:

9.5 Directors’ recommendation
The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders approve Resolutions 11 and 12 as the TopUp Offer is conditional upon Shareholder approval and approving the issue of Shares to the Underwriter and its nominees under the SPP will refresh the Company’s 15% capacity.
9.6 Resolution 13 – Issue of Shares to a related party – Sub-underwriting of SPP – Sheikh Maktoum Hasher al Maktoum
Resolution 13 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of Shares to Sheikh Maktoum Hasher al Maktoum for the sub-underwriting of $750,000 of the SPP ( Sub-underwriting ). Sheikh Maktoum Hasher al Maktoum will not receive any sub-underwriting fee for his commitment.
A summary of Listing Rule 10.11 is set out in section 5.1.
Messrs Mead and Smith, who do not have a material personal interest in the proposed issue, have determined that, as the issue terms are the same as offered to all Shareholders under the SPP, the issue is reasonable in the circumstances as if the Company and Sheikh Maktoum Hasher al Maktoum were dealing at arm's length.
9.7 Resolution 13 - 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 Resolution 13:

-
(d) the issue price of the Shares will be the same as the SPP Issue Price, being not less than 80% of the volume weighted average market price of Shares over the last 5 days on which sales were recorded before the day on which the issue is made;
-
(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; and
-
(f) the Company intends to use the funds raised towards further exploration at Carlow Castle to expand the resource and undertake a pre-feasibility study, exploration at the Armada prospect, working capital and 30% towards redeeming Convertible Notes.
As noted above, ASX has granted a waiver of Listing Rule 10.13.5 so that this Explanatory Memorandum can state the formula by which the issue price is calculated, rather than the issue price. The terms of the waiver are as follows:
Artemis Resources Limited – Notice of General Meeting
Page 24
-
(a) This Explanatory Memorandum state that the Shares to be issued the Sub-underwriter ( Shortfall Shares ) will be issued at an issue price not less than 80% of the VWAP of the Company’s Shares over the last 5 trading days prior to the issue date.
-
(b) This Explanatory Memorandum includes worked examples of the dilution that will occur to existing Shareholders as a result of the issue of the Shortfall Shares at three different prices.
-
(c) The terms of the waiver are disclosed in this Explanatory Memorandum.
Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the Shares as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Shares to the Sub-underwriter will not be included in the use of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
The Directors (other than Sheikh Maktoum Hasher al Maktoum who has a material personal interest in Resolution 13) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of Resolution 13 because the Shares will be issued to the Sub-underwriter are on the same terms as Shares issued to non-related party participants in the SPP and no subunderwriting fee will be received, and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
9.8 Resolution 14 – Issue of Underwriter Options – Patersons Securities Limited
Resolution 14 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of 10,000,000 Options ( Underwriter Options ) to Patersons (or its nominees) in part consideration for underwriting the SPP up to $1,500,000. The Underwriter Options have an exercise price of $0.08 and expire 36 months from issue.
The Company has agreed to, in the event Shareholders do not approve the issue of Underwriter Options, pay Patersons $50,000.
A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 1.1.
The effect of Resolution 14 will be to allow the Company to issue the Underwriter Options to Patersons (or its nominees) 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. Furthermore, failing to approve the issue of the Underwriter Options will require the Company to pay Patersons $50,000.
