Page 7

3.2 ASX Listing Rule Requirements

Broadly speaking, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number of equity securities a company can issue in a Relevant Period to 15% of its issued share capital, except for certain issues, including where first approved by Shareholders.

Listing Rule 10.11 prohibits a company from issuing securities to related parties without shareholder approval. Securities issued with shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11 are not included in the 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1.

4 RESOLUTION 1 - APPROVAL TO ISSUE UP TO 200,000,000 SHARES UNDER A PLACEMENT

4.1 Introduction

The Company proposes to undertake a Placement to issue up to 200,000,000 Shares to sophisticated and institutional investors, who are not related parties, to raise funds to enable the Company to continue with its planned exploration programs at Carlow Castle and Paterson Central and to meet the Company’s working capital requirements.

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the allotment and issue of up to 200,000,000 Shares.

4.2

Information required by Listing Rule 7.3

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

  • (a) The securities will be issued to sophisticated and institutional investors, who are not related parties of the Company. The investors will be selected on the basis of their ability to provide funding to the Company.

The Shares will not be issued to:

  • a related party of the entity;

  • a member of key management personnel;

  • a substantial holder in the entity;

  • an adviser to the entity; or

an associate of any of the above.

  • (b) The maximum number of equity securities the entity is to issue: up to 200,000,000 Shares.

  • (c) The securities to be issued will be fully paid ordinary shares of the Company.

  • (d) 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 Listing Rules).

  • (e) The issue price of the securities: the Shares will be issued at a price that is at least 80% of the volume weighted average market price (VWAP) for Shares

Page 8

over the last five days on which sales in Shares were recorded before the day on which the issue will be made.

  • (f) The issue will be made under the Placement to raise capital for the Company’s exploration programs at Carlow Castle and Paterson Central and working capital.

  • (g) There are no other material terms in relation to the Placement. As and when the Placement is confirmed, the Company will make relevant announcements to the market.

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

4.3 Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1 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.

If Resolution 1 is passed, the issue will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Company would only issue securities up to its available capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and that issue will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

5 RESOLUTIONS 2 – 5 ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO RELATED PARTIES

5.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue a total of 87,000,000 Options ( Related Party Options ) to Messrs Alastair Clayton, Edward Mead, Daniel Smith and Mark Potter (or their nominees) ( Related Parties ) on the terms and conditions set out below, and otherwise as set out in SCHEDULE 2:

  • (a) Alastair Clayton: 60,000,000 Related Party Options comprised of 30,000,000 tranche A Options ( Tranche A Options ) and 30,000,000 tranche B Options ( Tranche B Options );

  • (b) Edward Mead: 7,500,000 Related Party Options comprised of 3,750,000 Tranche A Options and 3,750,000 Tranche B Options;

  • (c) Daniel Smith: 9,500,000 Related Party Options comprised of 4,750,000 Tranche A Options and 4,750,000 Tranche B Options; and

Page 9

  • (d) Mark Potter: 10,000,000 Related Party Options comprised of 5,000,000 Tranche A Options and 5,000,000 Tranche B Options.

The purpose of granting the Related Party Options is to remunerate Directors with Options, conserving cash reserves whilst also aligning the Directors’ interests with Shareholders. The grant of the Related Party Options also provides the Director with material incentive to progress the Carlow Castle and Paterson Central projects and maximise value for shareholders.

Resolutions 2 to 5 seek Shareholder approval for these issues.

5.2 Regulatory requirements

Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the company unless either:

  • a) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act; or

  • b) prior shareholder approval is obtained to the giving of the financial benefit.

Related Party is widely defined under the Corporations Act, and includes directors of a company. Financial benefit is defined broadly and includes benefits from the public company’s subsidiaries. It is necessary to look at the economic and commercial substance and the effect of the transaction in determining the financial benefit. The Corporations Act requires that any consideration that is given is disregarded, even if the consideration is adequate.

As it is proposed that securities to be issued to Related Parties are to be issued to all of the Company’s Directors the Directors have been unable to form quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to these issues. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the issue to the Directors.

ASX Listing Rules

The proposed issue of securities to the Company’s Directors or their nominees requires Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11. Resolutions 3 to 6 seek Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of securities to entities controlled by the Directors to remunerate the Directors.

If approval is given under Listing Rule 10.11, Shareholder approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1. Shareholder approval of the issue of the securities to the above related parties means that these issues will not reduce the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • 5.3 Information required by Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

For the purposes of section 219 of the Corporations Act and ASIC Regulatory Guide 76, the following information is provided to Shareholders to enable them to assess the merits of the Resolutions:
