Dear Shareholder,

IMPACT OF COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS ON THE COMPANY’S ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

The shareholder meeting is scheduled to be held at Unit 1, 44 Denis Street, Subiaco in Western Australia on Wednesday, 22 December 2021 at 9:00am (WST) ( Meeting ).

The Company is continuing to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 virus in Western Australia and following guidance from the Federal and State Governments. In light of the current circumstances and continued uncertainty on restrictions on gatherings, the Directors have made the decision to hold a hybrid meeting. Accordingly, Shareholders will be able to attend either in person or online.

To assist the Company in ensuring that the Meeting is held in compliance with the COVID19 restrictions at the time of the Meeting, it will be helpful for Shareholders who wish to attend the Meeting in person to register their attendance with the Company Secretary Paul Fromson via email [email protected] by no later than 9.00 am (WST) on 20 December 2021. This will greatly assist the Company to manage any amendments required to the meeting format as a result of any changes to government restrictions which may apply at the time of the meeting. The Company will endeavour to adopt a format that will best ensure that all Shareholders who wish to attend are able to participate.

In accordance with the Treasury Laws Amendment (2021 Measures No. 1) Act 2021 unless a shareholder has previously requested a hard copy, the Company will not be sending hard copies of the Notice of Meeting to shareholders. The Notice of Meeting can be viewed and downloaded from the link set out below.

The Company strongly encourages shareholders to lodge a directed proxy form prior to the meeting and register their attendance prior to the Meeting if they intend to attend. Questions should also be submitted in advance of the Meeting as this will provide management with the best opportunity to prepare for the meeting, for example by preparing answers in advance to Shareholders questions. However, votes and questions may also be submitted during the Meeting.

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.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the Corporations Act, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 together with the declaration of the Directors, the Directors’ report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report.

The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at www.askarimetals.com.

1. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

1.1 General

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of the company.

The remuneration report sets out the company’s remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the company for a financial year.

The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.

1.2 Voting consequences

A company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.

If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.

All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.

Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.

10

5358-02/2801542_12

1.3 Previous voting results

As this is the Company’s first annual general meeting, the remuneration report of the Company has not been considered before. Accordingly, a Spill Resolution will not be relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

2. RESOLUTION 2 – ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – DAVID GREENWOOD

2.1 General

The Constitution allows the Directors to appoint at any time a person to be a Director either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Directors, but only where the total number of Directors does not at any time exceed the maximum number specified by the Constitution.

Pursuant to the Constitution and Listing Rule 14.4, any Director so appointed holds office only until the next annual general meeting and is then eligible for election by Shareholders but shall not be taken into account in determining the Directors who are to retire by rotation (if any) at that meeting.

Mr David Greenwood, having been appointed by other Directors on 15 July 2021 in accordance with the Constitution, will retire in accordance with the Constitution and Listing Rule 14.4 and being eligible, seeks election from Shareholders.

2.2

Qualifications and other material directorships

Mr Greenwood has more than 30 years broad-based experience in the resources industry across a range of commodities including precious metals, base metals, industrial minerals, minerals sands and bulk commodities.

He was educated in the UK and worked internationally in the resources industry in exploration, production, marketing, business development and investment analysis.

Most recently, Mr Greenwood acted as CEO of ASX listed Godolphin Resources Limited (November 2019 to May 2021). David has held Board positions with junior resource companies, including President (CEO) of Goldminco Corporation, a previously listed Canadian exploration company with assets in the Lachlan Fold Belt. In the past 3 years Mr Greenwood has also been a Non Executive Director of Argent Minerals Limited (ASX: ARD) (appointed 23 August 2021).

David was also previously Executive General Manager for Straits Resources Limited, where he was responsible for exploration, marketing, corporate affairs, investor relations and investments. Mr Greenwood has specific expertise in resources evaluation and financing, from exploration through mine development, in addition to business development, minerals marketing and investor relations.

2.3

Independence

Mr Greenwood has no interests, position or relationship that might influence, or reasonably be perceived to influence, in a material respect his capacity to bring an independent judgement to bear on issues before the Board and to act in the best interest of the Company as a whole rather than in the interests of an individual security holder or other party.

If elected the Board considers Mr Greenwood will be an independent Director.

11

5358-02/2801542_12

2.4 Other material information

The Company conducts appropriate checks on the background and experience of candidates before their appointment to the Board. These include checks as to a person’s experience, educational qualifications, character, criminal record and bankruptcy history. The Company undertook such checks prior to the appointment of Mr Greenwood.

Mr Greenwood has confirmed that he considers he will have sufficient time to fulfil his responsibilities as a Non-Executive Director of the Company and does not consider that any other commitment will interfere with his availability to perform his duties as a Non-Executive Director of the Company.

2.5 Board recommendation

The Board has reviewed Mr Greenwood’s performance since his appointment to the Board and considers that Mr Greenwood’s skills and experience will continue to enhance the Board’s ability to perform its role. Accordingly, the Board supports the election of Mr Greenwood and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

3. RESOLUTION 3 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – BRENDAN CUMMINS

3.1 General

The Constitution sets out the requirements for determining which Directors are to retire by rotation at an annual general meeting.

Mr Brendan Cummins, who has served as a Director since 20 November 2020, retires by rotation and seeks re-election.

3.2 Qualifications and other material directorships

Mr Cummins has over 25 years of global experience in the minerals industry as both a mine and exploration Geologist. Mr Cummins graduated from The University of Western Australia with First Class Honours in Geology in 1993 and is a current member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists (MAIG). Mr Cummins is a Competent Person across a broad range of commodities with the majority of his experience being in mineral exploration, resource discovery and definition, feasibility related studies, project evaluation and acquisition. During the early years of his career he had a strong focus on gold exploration but has since diversified working in base metals, bulk commodity and industrial minerals throughout Australia and locations overseas.

Mr Cummins has worked in junior companies to mid tiers and in joint ventures with the majors, gaining an excellent appreciation for the dynamics and requirements of working in both small and large team environments. More recently Mr Cummins has been heavily involved in project development activities including stakeholder and Heritage engagement, liaison with regulatory bodies overseeing environmental and other statutory approvals engaging with the EPA, DWER, DMIRS (environment and safety) and associated technical studies. In the past 3 years Mr Cummins has also been an Executive Director of ASX listed Black Canyon Ltd (ASX:BCA) and former Non–Executive Director of Cradle Resources Ltd (ASX:CXX).

12

3.3 Independence

If re-elected the Board considers Mr Cummins will be an independent Director.

3.4 Board recommendation

The Board has reviewed Mr Cummins’s performance since his appointment to the Board and considers that Mr Cummins’s skills and experience will continue to enhance the Board’s ability to perform its role. Accordingly, the Board supports the re-election of Mr Cummins and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

4. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL OF 7.1A MANDATE

4.1 General

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 period.

However, under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity may seek shareholder approval by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25% ( 7.1A Mandate ).

An ‘eligible entity’ means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300,000,000 or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company is an eligible entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $8,613,291(based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 3 November 2021).

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% placement capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A, and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

4.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to Resolution 4:

(a) Period for which the 7.1A Mandate is valid

The 7.1A Mandate will commence on the date of the Meeting and expire on the first to occur of the following:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of this Meeting;

13

5358-02/2801542_12

  • (ii) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; and

  • (iii) the time and date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change in the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the main undertaking).

(b)

Minimum price

Any Equity Securities issued under the 7.1A Mandate must be in an existing quoted class of Equity Securities and be issued at a minimum price of 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the entity and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in Section 4.2(b)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(c)

Use of funds raised under the 7.1A Mandate

The Company intends to use funds raised from issues of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate for:

  • continued exploration expenditure on the Company’s existing projects located in Western Australia and New South Wales;

  • the development of the Company’s existing projects;

  • general working capital; and

  • the evaluation of additional resource projects complementary to the Company’s existing portfolio of projects.

(d)

Risk of Economic and Voting Dilution

Any issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.

If Resolution 4 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 7.1A Mandate, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in Listing Rule 7.1A.2, on the basis of the closing market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issue or proposed to be issued as at 3 November 2021.

The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 7.1A Mandate.

*The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a prorata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The table above uses the following assumptions:

  1. There are currently 42,521,000 Shares on issue at the date of this Notice of Meeting.

  2. The issue price set out above is the closing market price of the Shares on the ASX on 3 November 2021 (being $0.20)).

  3. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate.

  4. The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

  5. The issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities. If the issue of Equity Securities includes quoted Options, it is assumed that those quoted Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

  6. The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

  7. This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under Listing Rule 7.1 unless otherwise disclosed.

  8. The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

  9. The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 7.1A Mandate, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • (ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.

15

5358-02/2801542_12

(e) Allocation policy under the 7.1A Mandate

The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 7.1A Mandate have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.

The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 7.1A Mandate, having regard to the following factors:

  • (i) the purpose of the issue;

  • (ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue, share purchase plan, placement or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;

  • (iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;

  • (v) prevailing market conditions; and

  • (vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

  • (f) Previous approval under Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company has not previously sought approval under Listing Rule 7.1A. Accordingly, the Company has not issued any Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the twelve months preceding the date of the Meeting.

4.3 Voting Exclusion Statement

As at the date of this Notice, the Company is not proposing to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A. Accordingly, a voting exclusion statement is not included in this Notice.

5. RESOLUTION 5 – APPOINTMENT OF AUDITOR AT FIRST AGM

Section 327B(1) of the Corporations Act provides that a public company must appoint an auditor at its first annual general meeting and at any subsequent annual general meeting thereafter where there is a vacancy.

The Directors appointed HLB Mann Judd (WA Partnership) ( HLB Mann Judd ) as the Company’s auditor following registration of the Company.

In accordance with section 328B(1) of the Corporations Act, the Company has sought and obtained a nomination from a Shareholder for HLB Mann Judd to be appointed as the Company’s auditor. A copy of this nomination is attached to this Notice as Annexure A.

HLB Mann Judd has given its written consent to act as the Company’s auditor in accordance with section 328A(1) of the Corporations Act subject to Shareholder approval of this Resolution.

16

5358-02/2801542_12

If this Resolution is passed, the appointment of HLB Mann Judd as the Company’s auditor will take effect at the close of this Meeting.

6. RESOLUTION 6 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES TO GEOSMART CONSULTING PTY LTD

6.1 General

On 19 October 2021, the Company issued 545,454 Shares in consideration for the provision of geological consulting services, fieldwork, data compilation and planning by Geosmart Consulting Pty Ltd ( Geosmart ).

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.

The issue of the Shares 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 issue of the Shares.

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 of the Shares.

Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Shares.

6.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 6 is passed, the Shares 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 issue of the Shares.

If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Shares 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 issue of the Shares.

6.3

Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 6:

  • (a) the Shares were issued to Geosmart;

(b) in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the recipients were:

17

5358-02/2801542_12

  • (i) related parties of the Company, members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company or an associate of any of these parties; and

  • (ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;

  • (c) 545,454 Shares were issued and the Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (d)

  • the Shares were issued on 19 October 2021;

  • (e) the Shares were issued at a nil issue price, in consideration for the provision of geological consulting services, fieldwork, data compilation and planning. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Shares;

  • (f) the purpose of the issue of the Shares was to satisfy amounts owing under a consulting invoice for the provision of geological consulting services, fieldwork, data compilation and planning; and

  • (g) the Shares were not issued under an agreement.

7. RESOLUTION 7 – ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO DAVID GREENWOOD

7.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue 300,000 Options to Mr David Greenwood (or his nominee) as a sign on bonus for accepting a position as a Director of the Company ( Greenwood Options ) pursuant to his employment agreement ( Letter of Appointment ), on the terms and conditions set out below.

Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Greenwood Options to David Greenwood (or his nominee).

Pursuant to the Letter of Appointment Mr Greenwood commenced his position as a Non-Executive Technical Director of the Company on 15 July 2021. Mr Greenwood’s remuneration is $36,000 per annum (plus GST), and, the Company may issue Performance Rights from time to time with performance milestones to be set by the Company in consultation with Mr Greenwood.

Mr Greenwood’s Letter of Appointment is otherwise on terms considered standard for an agreement of this nature.

7.2 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 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,

18

5358-02/2801542_12

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The issue of Greenwood Options to Mr Greenwood (or his nominee) constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Greenwood is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

The Directors (other than Mr Greenwood 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 grant of the Greenwood Options because the agreement to issue the Greenwood Options, reached as part of the remuneration package for Mr Greenwood, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.

7.3 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;

  • 10.11.4 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 issue of the Greenwood Options 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.

Resolution 7 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Greenwood Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

7.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 7 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Greenwood Options to Mr Greenwood 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 of the Greenwood Options (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Sign On Options will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolution 7 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Greenwood Options and may seek alternative methods of

19

5358-02/2801542_12

incentivising Mr Greenwood, including ad-hoc cash bonuses aligned to appropriate performance hurdles.

7.5 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 7:

  • (a) the Greenwood Options will be issued to Mr David Greenwood (or their nominee), who falls within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1 as Mr Greenwood is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director;

  • (b) the maximum number of Greenwood Options to be issued is 300,000;

  • (c) the terms and conditions of the Greenwood Options are set out in Schedule 1;

  • (i) the Company announcing no less than five (5) drill holes each intersecting a minimum gram per metre interval of 8 gram/metre on any of the Gold Projects currently held by the Company (where “ Gold Projects ” is defined as the Springfield Copper-Gold Project, the Springdale Copper-Gold Project, the Mt Maguire Gold Project or the Burracoppin Gold Project); or

Resolution 8 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Greenwood Performance Rights to Mr Greenwood (or his nominee).

8.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Refer to Section 7.2 of a summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

The issue of Greenwood Performance Rights to Mr Greenwood (or their nominee) constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Greenwood is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

The Directors (other than Mr Greenwood 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 grant of the Greenwood Performance Rights because the agreement to issue the Greenwood Performance Rights, reached as part of the remuneration package for Mr Greenwood is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.

8.3 Listing Rule 10.11

Refer to Section 7.3 for a summary of Listing Rule 10.11.

The issue of the Greenwood Performance Rights 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.

Resolution 8 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Greenwood Performance Rights under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

21

5358-02/2801542_12

8.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 8 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Greenwood Performance Rights to Mr Greenwood 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 of the Greenwood Performance Rights (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Greenwood Performance Rights will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolution 8 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Greenwood Performance Rights and may seek alternative methods of incentivising Mr Greenwood, including ad-hoc cash bonuses aligned with appropriate performance hurdles.

  • (f) the purpose of the issue of the Greenwood Performance Rights is to provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for Mr Greenwood to motivate and reward their performance as a Director and to provide cost effective remuneration to Mr Greenwood, enabling 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 to Mr Greenwood;

  • (g) the current total remuneration package for Mr Greenwood is set out above in Section 7.5(g); and

22

9. RESOLUTION 9 - RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUES OF OPTIONS – JOHAN LAMBRECHTS

9.1 General

On 6 September 2021, the Company issued 200,000 Options to Johan Lambrechts (or his nominee) as a sign on bonus for accepting the role of Vice President of Geology and Exploration ( Lambrechts Options ) pursuant to Mr Lambrechts’ employment agreement ( Contract of Employment ).

Mr Lambrechts was appointed as Vice President of Geology and Exploration of the Company on 26 May 2021. Mr Lambrechts’ remuneration is $215,000 per annum and under the Contract of Employment, the Company has issued Mr Lambrechts 1,000,000 Performance Rights, ratification of which is sought pursuant to Resolution 14.

Mr Lambrechts’ Contract of Employment is otherwise on terms considered standard for an agreement of this nature.

Listing Rule 7.1 is summarised in Section 6.1 above.

The issue of the Lambrechts Options 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 issue of the Lambrechts Options.

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 of the Lambrechts Options.

Resolution 9 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Lambrechts Options.

9.2

Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 9 is passed, the Lambrechts Options 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 issue of the Lambrechts Options.

If Resolution 9 is not passed, the Lambrechts Options 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 issue of the Lambrechts Options.

23

5358-02/2801542_12

9.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 9:

  • (a) the Lambrechts Options were issued to Mr Johan Lambrechts;

  • (b) in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that Mr Lambrechts is a member of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, but was not issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;

  • (c) 200,000 Lambrechts Options were issued and the Lambrechts Options were issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 3;

  • (d) the Lambrechts Options were issued on 6 September 2021;

  • (e) the Lambrechts Options were issued at a nil issue price, in consideration for services provided by Mr Lambrechts. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Lambrechts Options (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Lambrechts Options);

  • (f) the purpose of the issue of the Lambrechts Options was to compensate Mr Lambrechts for services provided by him; and

  • (g) the Lambrechts Options were issued under Mr Lambrechts’ employment agreement. A summary of Mr Lambrechts’ employment agreement is set out in Section 9.1.

10. RESOLUTION 10 – RATIFICATION OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS – JOHAN LAMBRECHTS

10.1 General

On 6 September 2021, the Company issued 1,000,000 Performance Rights to Mr Johan Lambrechts pursuant to his Contract of Employment (summarised in Section 9.1) ( Lambrechts Performance Rights ).

The 1,000,000 Lambrechts Performance Rights issued to Mr Lambrechts comprised:

  • (a) 200,000 Class I Performance Rights;

  • (b) 200,000 Class II Performance Rights;

  • (c) 200,000 Class III Performance Rights;

  • (d) 200,000 Class IV Performance Rights; and

  • (e) 200,000 Class V Performance Rights.

The milestones and terms and conditions of the Lambrechts Performance Rights are set out in Schedule 4.

Listing Rule 7.1 is summarised in Section 6.1 above.

The issue of the Lambrechts Performance Rights 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

24

5358-02/2801542_12

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 issue of the Lambrechts Performance Rights.

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 of the Lambrechts Performance Rights.

Resolution 10 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Lambrechts Performance Rights.

10.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 10 is passed, the Lambrechts Performance Rights 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 issue of the Lambrechts Performance Rights.

If Resolution 10 is not passed, the Lambrechts Performance Rights 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 issue of the Lambrechts Performance Rights.

10.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 10:

  • (a) the Lambrechts Performance Rights were issued to Mr Johan Lambrechts;

  • (b) in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that Mr Lambrechts is a member of the Company’s Kay Management Personnel, but has not been issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company:

  • (d) the Lambrechts Performance Rights were issued on 6 September 2021;

  • (e) the Lambrechts Performance Rights were issued at a nil issue price, in consideration for services provided by Mr Lambrechts under the Contract of Employment.

25

  • (f) the purpose of the issue of the Lambrechts Performance Rights was to satisfy the Company’s obligations under the Contract of Employment; and

11. BACKGROUND TO RESOLUTIONS 11 TO 14 – DIRECTOR PARTICIPATION IN SHORTFALL

11.1 The Offer

As first announced on the Company’s ASX platform on 28 September 2021, the Company undertook a non-renounceable entitlement issue of (1) Option ( Loyalty Option ) for every four (4) Shares held by eligible shareholders registered at the record date at an issue price of $0.002 per Loyalty Option to raise up to $21,261 ( Offer ). The Offer was made under a prospectus dated 8 October 2021 ( Prospectus ).

The expenses of the Offer (exceeding any amount raised under the Offer) were met from the Company’s existing cash reserves. Accordingly, the Offer decreased the Company’s existing cash reserves.

11.2 Shortfall Offer

Any entitlement not taken up pursuant to the Offer formed the shortfall offer ( Shortfall Offer ).

The Shortfall Offer is a separate offer made pursuant to the Prospectus and will remain open for up to three months following the closing date of the Offer.

The issue price for each Option to be issued under the Shortfall Offer is $0.002, being the price at which Loyalty Options are offered under the Offer ( Shortfall Options ). The Directors reserve the right to issue Shortfall Options at their absolute discretion.

The Directors of the Company, Messrs D’Anna, Downey, Cummins and Greenwood (together, the Participating Directors ) wish to participate in the Shortfall Offer on the same terms as the unrelated parties who wish to participate in the Shortfall Offer ( Participation ) up to the following amounts:

  • (a) Mr D’Anna intends to apply for 761,551 Shortfall Options; and

  • (b) Messrs Downey, Cummins and Greenwood each intend to apply for 120,000 Shortfall Options.

Resolutions 11 to 14 seek Shareholder approval to issue Shortfall Options to the Participating Directors under the Shortfall.

12. RESOLUTIONS 11 TO 14 – DIRECTOR PARTICIPATION IN SHORTFALL

12.1 General

Resolutions 11 to 14 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of:

(a) 761,551 Shortfall Options to Mr Gino D’Anna (pursuant to Resolution 11); (b) 120,000 Shortfall Options to Mr Robert Downey (pursuant to Resolution 12);

26

5358-02/2801542_12

  • (c) 120,000 Shortfall Options to Mr Brendan Cummins (pursuant to Resolution 13); and

  • (d) 120,000 Shortfall Options to Mr David Greenwood (pursuant to Resolution 14),

as a result of the Participation on the terms set out below.

12.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Refer to Section 7.2 for a summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

The Participation will result in the issue of the Shortfall Options which constitutes giving a financial benefit to the Participating Directors, who are parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

As the Shortfall Options are proposed to be issued to all of the Directors, the Directors are unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to the issue of the Options. Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the issue of Shortfall Options to the Participating Directors is sought in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

12.3

Listing Rule 10.11

Refer to Section 7.3 for a summary of Listing Rule 10.11.

The issue of Shortfall Options 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.

Resolutions 11 to 14 seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Shortfall Options under and for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11.

12.4

Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 11 to 14 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Loyalty Options to the Participating Directors 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 of the Loyalty Options (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Loyalty Options will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolution 11 to 14 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Shortfall Options to the Participating Directors.

12.5 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act

  • (f) the purpose of the issue of the Options is to raise an addition $2,243.10 to be applied towards the cost of the Offer, as well as to reward the Participating Directors for their loyalty, some of whom committed their capital at or before the Company’s initial public offer, and to maintain loyalty with respect to Shares purchased since the Company’s Shares commenced quotation on the ASX;

If the Company makes a bonus issue of Shares or other securities to existing Shareholders (other than an issue in lieu or in satisfaction of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment) the number of Shares or other securities which must be issued on the conversion of a Performance Right will be increased by the number of Shares or other securities which the holder would have received if the holder had converted the Performance Right before the record date for the bonus issue.

(m)

Deferral of conversion if resulting in a prohibited acquisition of Shares

If the conversion of a Performance Right under paragraph (c) or (l) would result in any person being in contravention of section 606(1) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( General Prohibition ) then the conversion of that Performance Right shall be deferred until such later time or times that the conversion would not result in a contravention of the General Prohibition. In assessing whether a conversion of a Performance Right would result in a contravention of the General Prohibition:

  • (i) holders may give written notification to the Company if they consider that the conversion of a Performance Right may result in the contravention of the General Prohibition. The absence of such written notification from the holder will entitle the Company to assume the conversion of a Performance Right will not result in any person being in contravention of the General Prohibition;

  • (ii) the Company may (but is not obliged to) by written notice to a holder request a holder to provide the written notice referred to in paragraph (m)(i) within seven days if the Company considers that the conversion of a Performance Right may result in a contravention of the General Prohibition. The absence of such written notification from the holder will entitle the Company to assume the conversion of a Performance Right will not result in any person being in contravention of the General Prohibition.

A Performance Right does not entitle the holder to a return of capital, whether in a winding up, upon a reduction of capital or otherwise.

5358-02/2801542_12

On the date which is six months from the date of termination, any Performance Rights that remain unvested will be forfeited by the holder and cancelled by the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, if any Performance Rights vest during the six-month period, those Performance Rights will be converted into fully paid ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis.
