E XPL A N A TO RY S T AT E MEN 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. BACKGROUND TO RESOLUTIONS 1 TO 7
1.1 General
On 16 April 2025, the Company announced that it received firm commitments from sophisticated and professional investors to raise up to approximately $900,000 (before costs) ( Placement ) through the issue of an aggregate of 105,882,353 fully paid ordinary Shares at an issue price of $0.0085 per Share ( Placement Shares ), together with one free attaching unlisted Option for each Share subscribed for and issued, exercisable at $0.017 each on or before 30 June 2028 ( Placement Options ).
The Placement is to be completed in two tranches:
-
(a) 55,514,542 Placement Shares, which were issued on 24 April 2025, comprising:
-
(i) 22,205,817 Placement Shares issued pursuant to the Company’s existing placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being the Shares the subject of Resolution 1); and
-
(ii) 33,308,725 Placement Shares issued pursuant to the Company’s existing placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A (being the Shares the subject of Resolution 2)
(together, Tranche 1 ),
-
(b) up to 44,485,458 Placement Shares to unrelated participants in the Placement, subject to shareholder approval pursuant to Resolution 3 ( Tranche 2 );
-
(c) up to 100,000,000 Placement Options to unrelated participants in the Placement subject to shareholder approval pursuant to Resolution 4; and
-
(d) an aggregate of up to 5,882,353 Placement Shares and up to 5,882,353 Placement Options to the Directors participating in the Placement, comprising:
-
(i) up to 4,705,882 Placement Shares and up to 4,705,882 Placement Options to Mr James Moses subject to shareholder approval pursuant to Resolution 5; and
-
(ii) up to 1,176,471 Placement Shares and up to 1,176,471 Placement Options to Mr Brett Smith subject to shareholder approval pursuant to Resolution 6.
1.2 Lead Manager
The Company engaged the services of GBA Capital Pty Ltd (ACN 643 039 123) ( GBA Capital ) to act as lead manager to the Placement pursuant to a lead manager mandate dated 7 April 2025 ( Mandate ).
Pursuant to the Mandate, in consideration for lead manager services provided, the Company agreed to:
-
(a) pay GBA Capital a capital raising fee of 6% plus GST of the total funds raised under the Placement; and
-
(b) subject to Shareholder approval, issue to GBA Capital (or its nominee(s)) 15,000,000 Options on the same terms and conditions as the Placement Options ( Lead Manager Options ) (the subject of Resolution 7).
The Mandate contains terms which are standard for an agreement of this type.
5
1.3 Use of funds
Funds raised from the Placement are intended to be used to fund the Company’s exploration and drilling at existing projects, as well as applied towards the costs of the Placement and general working capital.
2. RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF TRANCHE 1 PLACEMENT SHARES – LISTING RULES 7.1 AND 7.1A
2.1 General
Resolutions 1 and 2 seek Shareholder ratification for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of an aggregate of 55,514,542 Placement Shares at an issue price of $0.0085 each to raise $471,873 (before costs).
22,205,817 Placement Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being, the subject of Resolution 1) and 33,308,725 Placement Shares were issued on 24 April 2025 pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.
2.2 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 29 November 2024.
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 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.
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 Resolutions 1 and 2 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 issue.
If Resolutions 1 and 2 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 issue.

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 2.2 above.
The proposed issue does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
3.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 2.2 above.
The proposed issue does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

5. RESOLUTIONS 5 AND 6 – APPROVAL FOR DIRECTOR PARTICIPATION IN PLACEMENT – MR JAMES MOSES AND MR BRETT SMITH
5.1 General
Resolutions 5 and 6 seek Shareholder approval for the purposes of section 195(4) of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of up to an aggregate of 5,882,353 Placement Shares and 5,882,353 Placement Options to Mr James Moses and Mr Brett Smith (or their nominee(s)) on the terms and conditions set out below to enable the Directors to participate in the Company’s Placement on the same terms as unrelated participants ( Participation ).
Further details in respect of the intended Participation of the Directors are set out in the table below.
| RECIPIENT | PARTICIPATION | PARTICIPATION | PARTICIPATION | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| QUANTUM | ||||
| RESOLUTION | ||||
| PLACEMENT SHARES |
PLACEMENT | FUNDS RAISED | ||
| OPTIONS | ||||
| Mr James Moses | 5 | 4,705,882 | 4,705,882 | $40,000 |
| Mr Brett Smith | 6 | 1,176,471 | 1,176,471 | $10,000 |
| TOTAL | 5,882,353 | 5,882,353 | $50,000 |
5.2 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
9
(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 Participation will constitute giving a financial benefit and each of the proposed recipients is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
The Directors (other than Mr Moses who has a material personal interest in Resolution 5) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of Resolution 5 because the Securities will be issued to Mr Moses on the same terms as Securities offered to unrelated participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
The Directors (other than Mr Smith who has a material personal interest in Resolution 6) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of Resolution 6 because the Securities will be issued to Mr Smith on the same terms as Securities offered to unrelated participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
5.3 Section 195(4) of the Corporations Act
Section 195 of the Corporations Act provides that a director of a public company may not vote or be present during meetings of directors when matters in which that director holds a “material personal interest” are being considered, except in certain limited circumstances. Section 195(4) relevantly provides that if there are not enough directors to form a quorum for a directors meeting because of this restriction, one or more of the directors may call a general meeting and the general meeting may pass a resolution to deal with the matter.
It might be argued (but it is neither conceded nor, indeed, is it thought by the Board to be the case) that two of the three of the Directors comprising the Board have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 5 and 6. If Mr Moses and Mr Smith do have such an interest, then a quorum could not be formed to consider the matters contemplated by Resolutions 5 and 6 at Board level.
Accordingly, for the avoidance of any doubt, and for the purpose of transparency and best practice corporate governance, the Company also seeks Shareholder approval for Resolutions 5 and 6 for the purposes of section 195(4) of the Corporations Act in respect of the reliance on the arm’s length terms exception and the decision not to seek Shareholder approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
5.4
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;
-
10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
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 Participation 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.
10
5.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 5 and 6 are 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). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolutions 5 and 6 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue.
5.6 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13
| REQUIRED INFORMATION | DETAILS |
|---|---|
| Name of the persons to whom Securities will be issued |
The proposed recipients of the Securities are set out in Section 5.1 above. |
| Categorisation under Listing Rule 10.11 |
Each of the proposed recipients falls within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1 as they are a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director. Any nominee(s) of the proposed recipients who receive Securities may constitute ‘associates’ for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.4. |
| Number of Securities and class to be issued |
The maximum number of Securities to be issued (being the nature of the financial benefit proposed to be given) and the allocation between the recipients is set out in the table included at Section 5.1 above. |
| Terms of Securities | The Placement Shares 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. The Placement Options will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1. |
| Date(s) on or by which the Securities will be issued |
The Company expects to issue the Securities within 5 Business Days of the Meeting. In any event, the Company will not issue any Securities later than one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). |
| Price or other consideration the Company will receive for the Securities |
$0.0085 per Placement Share and nil per Placement Option as the Placement Options will be issued free attaching with the Placement Shares on a 1:1 basis. |

Refer to Section 1.3 for details of the proposed use of funds. |
| Consideration of type and quantum of Security to be issued |
The quantum of Securities to be offered under the capital raising, the ratio of Placement Shares and Placement Options, the terms of the Placement Options and the pricing of the Placement Shares was determined in conjunction with GBA Capital. The recipients are seeking to participate in the Placement on the same terms as the unrelated institutional, professional and sophisticated investors who took part in the Placement. It is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Securities on the terms proposed and the issue of the Securities is not intended to remunerate or incentivise the Directors. |
| Summary of material terms of agreement to issue |
The Securities were not issued under an agreement. |
