Voting in person or by attorney
Shareholders, or their attorneys, who plan to attend the Meeting are asked to arrive at the venue 15 minutes prior to the time designated for the Meeting, if possible, so that their holding may be checked against the Company's share register and their attendance recorded. A certified copy of the Power of Attorney, or the original Power of Attorney, must be received by the Company in the same manner, and by the same time as outlined for proxy forms below.
Voting by a corporation

A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies. Each proxy will have the right to vote on a poll and also to speak at the Meeting.
-
The appointment of the proxy may specify the proportion or the number of votes that the proxy may exercise. Where more than one proxy is appointed and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder's votes each proxy may exercise, the votes will be divided equally among the proxies (i.e. where there are two proxies, each proxy may exercise half of the votes).

A Shareholder who returns their Proxy Form with a direction how to vote, but does not nominate the identity of their proxy, will be taken to have appointed the Chair of the Meeting as their proxy to vote on their behalf. If a Proxy Form is returned with a direction how to vote, but the nominated proxy (who is not Chair of the Meeting) does not attend the Meeting or does not vote on the relevant Resolution(s), the Chair of the Meeting will act in place of the nominated proxy and vote on a poll in accordance with any instructions.
-
Proxy appointments in favour of the Chair of the Meeting, the secretary or any Director that do not contain a direction how to vote will be used, where possible, to support each of the Resolutions proposed in this Notice, provided they are entitled to cast votes as a proxy under the voting exclusion rules which apply to some of the proposed Resolutions.

Recommendation
The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
Resolution 2 – Approval to issue Shares to Ausdrill
Background
Resolutions 2(a) and 2(b) (together referred to as Resolution 2 ) relate to the drilling for equity arrangement the Company entered into with Ausdrill Limited ( Ausdrill ) and announced to ASX on 20 November 2017 whereby Ausdrill or its nominee Ausdrill International Pty Ltd ( Ausdrill International ) may subscribe for up to USD1,000,000 worth of Shares in return for drilling services that may be undertaken by Ausdrill's West African subsidiary, African Mining Services Burkina Faso SARL ( AMS BF ), for the Company's West African subsidiary, Golden Rim Resources Burkina Faso SARL ( GMR BF ) ( Ausdrill Agreement ).
Under the Ausdrill Agreement, any drilling services conducted by AMS BF at the Company's Kouri Gold Project in Burkina Faso ( Kouri ) will, at the Company's election, be paid for by either cash, a Share election or a mixture of cash and Share election on a 50/50 basis. The USD value of the relevant invoice for the drilling services will be converted from USD into Australian dollars at the current exchange rate at 5.00pm New York City, United States of America time on the date the invoice is issued to GMR BF for the purposes of determining the number of Shares that Ausdrill or Ausdrill International will subscribe for in relation to an election.
Where the Company elects to pay for the drilling services entirely by the Share election, the Shares will issued at an issue price equivalent to 90% of the VWAP of Shares in the five Trading Days (on which trades in Shares are recorded on the ASX) immediately preceding the date the relevant invoice is issued to GMR BF ( Issue Price A ). Where the Company elects to pay for the drilling services by a mixture of cash and Share election, the Shares will be issued at an issue price equivalent to 95% of the VWAP of Shares in the five Trading Days (on which trades in Shares are recorded on the ASX) immediately preceding the date the relevant invoice is issued to GMR BF ( Issue Price B ).
Following the subscription of Shares by Ausdrill or Ausdrill International (at either Issue Price A or Issue Price B) pursuant to a Share election or a mixture of cash and Share election, the subscription funds are then used to pay AMS BF for the drilling services. Accordingly, as a practical matter the Shares are issued in consideration for drilling services provided by AMS BF to GMR BF.
The Company sought, and obtained, at the Company's general meeting held on 5 April 2018, approval to issue up to USD1,000,000 worth of Shares at Issue Price A and at Issue Price B BUT NOT MORE than USD1,000,000 worth of Shares in total so that it could pay for the drilling services by a Share election or a mixture of cash and Share election should it elect to do so. In reliance on this approval, the Company has elected to pay a number of invoices for drilling services as outlined above valued at approximately USD775,587 solely in Shares (i.e. at Issue Price A) and has issued to 11,656,143 Shares at an issue price of $0.035, 3,691,615 Shares at an issue price of $0.039 and 13,957,758 Shares at an issue price of $0.033 (refer to ASX announcements dated 12 April 2018, 21 May 2018 and 18 June 2018).
The approval obtained at the 5 April 2018 general meeting was valid for three months from the date of the meeting and accordingly, expired on 5 July 2018. The Company is now seeking approval to issue up to USD224,413 worth of Shares at Issue Price A and at Issue Price B BUT NOT MORE than USD224,413 worth of Shares in total so that it can continue to pay for the drilling services by a Share election or a mixture of cash and Share election, should it elect to do so.
The Ausdrill Agreement provides the Company with financing flexibility and a means to preserve cash while it progresses its drilling program at Kouri.
Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.3
Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 to issue future Shares to Ausdrill, or its nominee Ausdrill International, under the Ausdrill Agreement with a value of up to USD224,413.
The Company may issue Shares to Ausdrill under the Ausdrill Agreement where the Company elects to pay for the drilling services undertaken for GMR BF:
Golden Rim Resources Ltd – Notice of General Meeting September 2018
2
-
(a) entirely by Share election, in which case the issue price will be Issue Price A; or
-
(b) by a mixture of cash and Share election on a 50/50 basis, in which case the issue price will be Issue Price B.
Listing Rule 7.1 broadly provides, subject to certain exceptions, that a listed company must not issue or agree to issue during any 12-month period securities, where the securities proposed to be issued represent more than 15% of the Company's securities on issue at the commencement of that 12-month period. Any issue of Shares under the Ausdrill Agreement, unless subsequently ratified or pre-approved by Shareholders, will utilise this 15% placement capacity.
The Directors wish to the maximise the Company's ability to raise funds to progress Kouri and maintain the ability to preserve cash while it progresses its drilling program at Kouri and therefore consider it prudent to seek Shareholder's approval for future issues of Shares to Ausdrill or its nominee in circumstances where the Company elects to pay for the drilling services entirely by Share election or by a mixture of cash and Share election on a 50/50 basis.
The maximum number of Shares that may be issued if Shareholders approve Resolution 2 cannot be calculated at this time but will be equal to:
-
(a) that number of Shares which, when multiplied by Issue Price A will equal up to a maximum of USD224,413 (Resolution 2(a)); and
-
(b) that number of Shares which, when multiplied by Issue Price B will equal up to a maximum of USD224,413 (Resolution 2(b)),
but such that the total value of Shares that may be issued is up to a maximum of USD224,413, whether issued at Issue Price A, at Issue Price B or a combination of both. As noted above, all invoices under the Ausdrill Agreement are issued in the currency of USD and converted to Australian dollars on an invoice by invoice basis. As to whether the Shares are issued at Issue Price A or Issue Price B will depend on the election that the Company has made at the time with respect to payment of the relevant invoice. Accordingly, if Resolution 2 is approved by Shareholders, the Company may issue Shares to Ausdrill up to a maximum value of USD224,413 at an issue price of Issue Price A, Issue Price B or a combination of both.
Set out below is a worked example using an exchange rate of 1 AUD: 0.74 USD, which demonstrates various examples of the number of Shares that may be issued under Resolution 2 and the dilution effect on existing Shareholders assuming that no Options are exercised, and no other Shares are issued by the Company.
Please note , the following table is an example only and the actual issue prices may differ to those assumed in the table. To the extent the issue price is different to that assumed in the table, the maximum number of Shares that may be issued and the dilution effect on existing Shareholders will also differ.
| Assumed Issue Price of Shares issued to Ausdrill* |
Maximum number of Shares that may be issued under Resolution 2 |
Current Shares on issue as at date of Notice |
Increased number of Shares on issue |
Dilution to existing Shareholders |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.052 | 5,831,942 | 396,386,716 | 402,218,658 | 1.47% |
| 0.026 | 11,663,884 | 396,386,716 | 408,050,600 | 2.94% |
| 0.013 | 23,327,769 | 396,386,716 | 419,714,485 | 5.89% |
- The table shows examples where the assumed issue price of Shares is the current market price as at close of trade on 30 July 2018, being $0.026, (current market price), where the issue price is halved, and where it is doubled.
The following information is provided to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 2 for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3:

be undertaken in two tranches as follows:
-
(a) on 7 August 2018, 77,997,340 Shares were issued at an issue price of 2.6 cents per Placement Share to raise approximately $2.03 million (before costs) under the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1 placement capacity (46,158,406 Shares) and Listing Rule 7.1A additional placement capacity (31,838,934 Shares) ( Tranche 1 Placement ); and
-
(b) up to of 38,461,540 Shares also at an issue price of 2.6 cents per Share to raise an additional approximate $1 million (before costs) will be issued to unrelated qualified, institutional, sophisticated and professional investors subject to Shareholder approval being obtained as these Shares cannot be issued within the Company's 7.1 and 7.1A placement capacity ( Tranche 2 Placement ).
The Company also announced that it would make an offer to Eligible Shareholders under a Share Purchase Plan ( SPP ) to raise up to a maximum of $1,000,000 through the issue of up to 38,461,540 Shares at an issue price of 2.6 cents per Share.
In addition:
-
(a) the Company will give participants in the Placement and subscribers under the SPP the opportunity to participate in an offer of free Placement Options or SPP Options (as the case may be), which offer will be made pursuant to the Prospectus on the basis of one free Placement Option or SPP Option for every two Placement Shares or SPP Shares (as the case may be) validly subscribed for under the Placement or the SPP; and
-
(b) the Directors may at their discretion offer any Shares not taken up under the SPP ( SPP Shortfall Shares ) and SPP Options basis of one free SPP Option for every two SPP Shortfall Shares issued, as a separate placement to qualified, institutional, sophisticated and professional investors who are not related parties of the Company ( SPP Shortfall Offer ).
The Company does not currently have sufficient capacity available under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.1A to issue the Shares under the Tranche 2 Placement, the Placement Options, the SPP Options or the SPP Shortfall Shares and therefore the issue of all of these securities is subject to Shareholder approval which is being sought at this Meeting.
Hartleys Limited acted as Sole Lead Manager to the Placement and will act as Lead Broker to the SPP. Subject to shareholder approval, it is proposed to offer Hartleys Limited (or its nominee(s)) 25,000,000 Lead Manager Options pursuant to an offer under the Prospectus.
Use of capital raising funds
The funds raised under the Placement and the SPP will be used to undertake the following at Kouri:
-
follow-up Reverse Circulation ( RC ) drilling of new Red Hill gold discovery, which is located only 4.5km from the Mineral Resource (this RC drilling has commenced);
-
infill auger drilling on additional new regional target areas within the Kouri licence outside the Mineral Resource area, such as Guitorga West, followed by a first pass RC drilling program once these target areas are better defined (the auger drilling is underway);
-
air core drilling through the river channel that lies between Guitorga West and the Mineral Resource;
-
infill and extensional RC drilling in the Mineral Resource area;
-
additional metallurgical test work (such as comminution and column leach test work); and
-
an expected Mineral Resource upgrade.
Part of the funds will also be used to complete the scoping study on Paguanta and for working capital purposes.

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the public company unless either:
-
(a) the giving of the financial benefits falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provision; or
-
(b) Shareholder approval is obtained prior to the giving of the financial benefit and the benefit is given within 15 months after obtaining such approval.
For the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, each of the Related Parties is a related party of the Company and the issue of SPP Options to those persons is a financial benefit for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act.
Section 210 of the Corporations Act provides that shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act is not required if the financial benefit to be provided to the related party is on terms that would be reasonable in the circumstances if the company and the related party were dealing at arm's length or are less favourable to the related than those terms.
In the circumstances, the Directors (independent of Mr Lamont in respect of Resolution 8(a) and independent of Mr Mackay in respect of Resolutions 8(b), and 8(c)) have determined that the exception in section 210 of the Corporations Act applies as the SPP Options will be issued to the Related Parties on exactly the same terms as the other SPP Options being issued to non-related party participants in the SPP and accordingly, the provision of the financial benefit to the Related Parties will be on arm's length terms.
Resolutions 8(a), 8(b), and 8(c) are subject to Resolution 7 being passed. If Shareholders do not pass Resolution 7, the Company will not issue the SPP Options to the Related Parties.
