-
(b) Tranche 2 : 284,428,571 Shares, subject to Shareholder approval (pursuant to Resolution 2).
The purpose of the Placement is to raise funds for the exploration programmes at the Company’s Karratha Gold Project. Further details are set out in the ASX announcement dated 16 December 2024.
The Company has entered into a lead manager mandate with CPS Capital and Zeus Capital. The materials terms of the respective mandates are set out below.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF TRANCHE 1 SHARES UNDER THE PLACEMENT
2.1 General
On 24 December 2024, the Company issued 287,000,000 Shares to the Investors at an issue price of $0.007 per Share, being Tranche 1 of the Placement. Further details of the Placement are set out in Section 1.
This Resolution seeks Shareholder ratification for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of 287,000,000 Shares.
2.2 Listing Rule 7.1
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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
The issue does 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 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of the issue.
2.3 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.
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.
2.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If this Resolution is passed, the issue will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of the issue.
If this Resolution is not passed, the issue will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of the issue.

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 2.2 above.
The proposed issue falls within exception 17 of Listing Rule 7.2. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

4.1 General
This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of 3,000,0000 Shares to the Company’s Technical Director, Julian Hanna (or his nominee(s)), to enable his participation in the Company’s capital raising activities on the same terms as the Investors under the Placement.
4.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that 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 issue constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Hanna is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
The Directors (other than Mr Hanna who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue because the Shares will be issued to Mr Hanna (or his nominee(s)) on the same terms as Shares issued to the Investors in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
4.3 Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:
-
10.11.1 a related party;
-
10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;

-
10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;

-
10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The issue falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
4.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and will raise additional funds which will be used in the manner set out in Section 1.

If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue and no further funds will be raised.
