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.

1. BACKGROUND TO THE PLACEMENT AND RESOLUTIONS 1 TO 3

1.1 Placement

On 22 March 2024, the Company announced a placement to new and existing professional, sophisticated and institutional investors for 24,615,393 Shares ( Placement Shares ) at an issue price of $0.065 each, together with one (1) free attaching option for every two (2) Placement Shares applied for and issued, exercisable at $0.13 each on or before the date that is three (3) years from the date of issue ( Placement Option ), to raise $1,600,000 (before costs) ( Placement ).

The terms of the Placement Options are set out in Schedule 1.

As announced on 22 March 2024, the Company proposed that the Placement would be conducted in two tranches, as follows:

  • (a) Tranche 1 : 18,103,178 Placement Shares ( Tranche 1 Shares ) which were issued pursuant to the Company’s available placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A on 5 April 2024, ratification of which is sought pursuant to Resolutions 1 and 2, together with 9,051,589 free attaching Placement Options ( Tranche 1 Options ), subject to Shareholder approval sought pursuant to Resolution 3 of this Notice; and

  • (b) Tranche 2 : the issue of 6,512,215 Placement Shares and 3,256,108 Placement Options.

Subsequently on 23 July 2024, the Company announced that it has withdrawn Tranche 2 of the Placement in light of securing an alternative funding package.

1.2 Lead Manager

BW Equities Pty Ltd (ACN 146 642 462) ( BW Equities ) and Alpine Capital Pty Ltd (ACN 155 409 653) ( Alpine Capital ) ( Joint Lead Managers ) acted as joint lead managers to the Placement pursuant to an engagement letter dated 8 March 2024 ( Joint Lead Manager Mandate ).

Under the Joint Lead Manager Mandate, the Company has agreed to:

  • (a) pay the Joint Lead Managers a 6.0% capital raising fee on all funds raised under the Placement which will be paid to the Joint Lead Managers in equal proportions; and

  • (b) issue the Joint Lead Managers 5,600,000 options exercisable at $0.13 each with an expiry date that is three (3) years from the date of issue ( JLM Options ) subject to Shareholder approval sought pursuant to Resolution 4.

The Joint Lead Managers are to be reimbursed by the Company for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with services provided during the Placement. The Joint Lead Managers must obtain the Company’s approval in advance for expenses above $1,000.

10

5358-02/3490544_16

Under the Lead Manager Mandate, the Company has agreed to offer the Joint Lead Managers the right of first refusal to act as joint lead managers to any equity raising undertaken by the Company for 12 months following completion of the Placement. The right of first refusal is in the Joint Lead Managers’ favour and it is up to each Joint Lead Manager to accept being a joint lead manager for a subsequent equity raise.

The Joint Lead Manager Mandate may be terminated:

  • (a) by the Joint Lead Managers upon written notice to the Company; and

  • (b) by the Company at any time before it has entered into a trading halt on the ASX upon five days’ written notice to the Joint Lead Managers.

The Joint Lead Manager Mandate otherwise contains terms and conditions considered standard for an agreement of this kind.

1.3

Use of Funds

The Company intends to apply the funds raised under the Placement towards the continued exploration of the Uis Lithium Project, Namibia as well as exploration at the Matemanga Uranium Project, Tanzania and the acquisition of additional uranium project opportunities across Tanzania and Namibia as well as for general working capital and to fund the expenses of the Placement.

2. RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES – LISTING RULES 7.1 AND 7.1A

2.1 General

As set out in Section 1, on 5 April 2024 the Company issued 18,103,178 Tranche 1 Shares pursuant to its available placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A as follows:

  • (a) 10,141,907 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being the subject of Resolution 1); and

  • (b) 7,961,271 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s 7.1A mandate which was approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 24 November 2023 (being the subject of Resolution 2).

The issue of the Tranche 1 Shares did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of the issue.

As set out in Section 1.2, the Company engaged the services of the Joint Lead Managers to manage the issue of the Tranche 1 Shares. For their services provided in connection with the Placement, the Company agreed to pay the Joint Lead Managers the fees set out in Section 1.2.

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.

11

5358-02/3490544_16

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 approval to increase its limit to 25% at the annual general meeting held on 24 November 2023.

The issue of the Tranche 1 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 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 issue of the Tranche 1 Shares.

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 of the Tranche 1 Shares.

Resolutions 1 and 2 seek Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Tranche 1 Shares.

2.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 1 and 2 are not passed, the Tranche 1 Placement Shares 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 issue of the Tranche 1 Shares.

5. RESOLUTION 5 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES – LISTING RULE 7.1

5.1 General

The Company entered into an agreement with Eternal Grand International (HK) Limited (a company organised and existing under the laws of Hong Kong) ( Eternal ) on 14 August 2023, as amended on 5 October 2023 and on 28 December 2023, pursuant to which Eternal agreed to provide the Company with investor relations services and corporate, advisory, marketing, technical, geological and strategic advice ( Eternal Advisor Services Agreement ).

Pursuant to the Eternal Advisor Services Agreement, the Company issued 1,050,000 Shares between 6 November 2023 and 12 January 2024 in consideration for corporate, technical, geological, strategic and marketing advisory services provided to the Company by Eternal ( Advisory Shares ).

Eternal was issued with Advisory Shares in lieu of paying cash for the services provided. The Eternal Advisor Services Agreement expired on 15 February 2024. A summary of the material terms of the Eternal Advisor Services Agreement is set out in Schedule 2.

The issue of the Advisory Shares did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of the issue.

Listing Rule 7.1 is summarised above in Section 2.2.

The issue of the Advisory 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 Advisory 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 Advisory Shares.

16

5358-02/3490544_16

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Advisory Shares.

5.2

Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 5 is passed, the Advisory 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 Advisory Shares.

If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Advisory 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 Advisory Shares.

5.3 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 5:

  • (a) the Advisory Shares were issued to Eternal;

  • (b) in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that Eternal is an advisor of the Company and:

  • (i) is not a related party of the Company, member of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, substantial holder of the Company or an associate of any of these parties; and

  • (ii) was issued 1.07% of the issued capital of the Company as at the date of this Notice;

  • (c) 1,050,000 Advisory Shares were issued and the Advisory 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 Advisory Shares were issued progressively between 6 November 2023 and 12 January 2024;

  • (e) the Advisory Shares were issued at a nil issue price, in consideration for services provided by Eternal. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Advisory Shares;

  • (f) the purpose of the issue of the Advisory Shares was to satisfy the Company’s obligations under the Advisory Agreement;

  • (g) the Advisory Shares were issued to Eternal under the Advisory Agreement. A summary of the material terms of the Advisory Agreement is set out in Schedule 2; and

6. BACKGROUND TO RESOLUTIONS 6 TO 8

6.1 Background

As announced on 20 December 2023, the Company entered into a redeemable note deed with SBC Global Investment Fund ( SBC ) dated 15 December 2023 as

Pursuant to the Redeemable Note Deed, the Company has agreed to pay SBC (or its nominee/s):

  • (a) $250,000 in cash upon the earlier of maturity of the Redeemable Note Deed or completion of the Company’s next capital raising; and

  • (b) the remaining $350,000 under the Redeemable Note Deed in $50,000 monthly instalments via the issue of Shares ( Instalments ) where:

  • (i) the issue price of Shares comprising the first Instalment ( First Instalment Shares ) will be equal to the issue price of Shares issued under the Company’s next capital raising; and

7. RESOLUTION 6 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES

7.1 General

On 21 December 2023 and as set out in Section 6.1 above, the Company issued 100,000 Establishment Shares to SBC in consideration of SBC entering into the Redeemable Note Deed.

The issue of the Establishment Shares did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of the issue.

As summarised in Section 2.2 above, 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 of the Establishment 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 Establishment 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 Establishment Shares.

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

7.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 6 is passed, the Establishment 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 Establishment Shares.

If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Establishment 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 Establishment Shares.

7.3 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:

11. BACKGROUND TO RESOLUTIONS 10 TO 12

As announced on 24 September 2024, the Company has entered into an unsecured convertible note trust deed ( Convertible Note Deed ) with Lawson Mining Pty Ltd (ACN 679 012 232) ( Trustee ) as trustee for certain sophisticated and professional investors ( Noteholders ) pursuant to which the Company has agreed to issue convertible notes with an aggregate face value equal to $920,000 ( Convertible Notes ) to the Noteholders, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval.

The Convertible Notes mature 24 months from the date of their issue ( Maturity Date ) and are convertible into Shares ( Conversion Shares ) at a conversion price of equal to the lower of:

(a) $0.065; and

(b) 15% discount to 5 trading day VWAP prior to the conversion date,

(the Conversion Price ) provided that the Conversion Price cannot be less than $0.01 ( Floor Price ).

The Company has also agreed to issue a total of 4,600,000 Options, on the same terms and conditions as Options to be offered under a Future Equity Raising, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, in part consideration of subscribing for the Convertible Notes ( Noteholder Options ).

Under the Convertible Note Deed, the Company will issue the Trustee 4,800,000 Shares for nominal cash consideration ( Initial Collateral Shares ), subject to obtaining Shareholder approval under Resolution 11.

After 31 October 2024, the Trustee can elect to redeem Convertible Notes prior to the Maturity Date by selling Shares issued to the Trustee as collateral ( Collateral Shares ) from time to time with the sale proceeds deemed to be applied automatically to redeem Convertible Notes (at a discount) in accordance with the formula set out in Schedule 4.

Subject to the Collateral Share Cap (defined below), if, at any time prior to the Maturity Date, the number of Shares issued to the Trustee as collateral Shares ( Collateral Shares ) which remain unsold by the Trustee represents 20% or less of the number of Initial Collateral Shares originally issued (being 960,000), the Trustee may give the Company written notice requesting that the Company issues additional Shares to the Trustee ( Top-up Notice ) as Collateral Shares ( Additional Collateral Shares ), so that following the issue, the total Collateral Shares will be of a deemed value (based on the 5-day VWAP up to and including the last trading day prior to the general meeting convened to approve the issue of the Additional Collateral Shares) up to an amount equal to 50% of the aggregate face value of the then outstanding Convertible Notes for nominal consideration.

The maximum number of Collateral Shares that the Company is required to issue under the Convertible Note Deed is 24,800,000 Shares ( Collateral Share Cap ). The Company has agreed to seek upfront approval for up to 20,000,000 Additional Collateral Shares for these purposes. For the avoidance of doubt the Company

26

5358-02/3490544_16

will not issue the Additional Collateral Shares unless it receives a Top-up Notice from the Trustee and in which case it will only issue that number of Additional Collateral Shares requested by the Trustee, up to an amount equal to 50% of the aggregate face value of the then outstanding Convertible Notes (based on the 5-day VWAP up to and including the last trading day prior to the general meeting convened to approve the issue of the Additional Collateral Shares).

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company is not obligated to issue any Additional Collateral Shares pursuant to a Top-up Notice, if the issue of those Shares will exceed the Collateral Share Cap.

Notwithstanding the above, under the Convertible Note Deed, the parties can mutually agree to issue more Additional Collateral Shares, subject to shareholder approval.

A summary of the material terms of the Convertible Note Deed is set out in Schedule 4.

The Company has engaged GBA Capital Pty Ltd (ACN 643 039 123) ( GBA ) to act as lead manager and bookrunner of the proposed issue of Convertible Notes. The Company has agreed to pay GBA a capital raising fee equal to 5% of the amount raised by the issue of the Convertible Notes in consideration for its services.

16.1 General

As set out in Section 14, the Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue an aggregate of 4,765,602 New Options to the Related Parties under the Priority Offer on the terms and conditions set out below. Resolutions 14 and 15 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the New Options to the Related Parties.

16.2 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:

32

5358-02/3490544_16

  • (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 of New Options to the Related Parties under the Priority Offer constitutes giving a financial benefit and each of the Related Parties is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

In respect of Resolution 14 the Directors (other than Mr D’Anna who has a material personal interest in Resolution 14) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of Resolution 14 because the New Options issued to Mr D’Anna will be issued on the same terms as the New Options issued to the Unrelated Parties under the Priority Offer and as such, the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

In respect of Resolution 15 the Directors (other than Mr Downey who has a material personal interest in Resolution 15) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of Resolution 15 because the New Options issued to Mr Downey will be issued on the same terms as the New Options issued to the Unrelated Parties under the Priority Offer and as such, the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

16.3

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 New Options to the Related Parties under the Priority Offer 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 14 and 15 seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the New Options to the Related Parties under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

33

5358-02/3490544_16

16.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the New Options to the Related Parties (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Options will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolution 14 and 15 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the New Options to the Related Parties and the Related Parties will not be issued any New Options.

Resolutions 14 and 15 are conditional on Resolution 13 also being passed. Therefore, if Resolution 13 is not passed, the Board will not be able to proceed with the issue of New Options to the Related Parties under Resolutions 14 and 15.

(together, the Fee Shares ).

Resolutions 16 and 17 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the Fee Shares to the Related Parties.

17.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

As set out in Section 16.2, 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 of the Fee Shares to the Related Parties constitutes giving a financial benefit and each of the Related Parties is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

In respect of Resolution 16 the Directors (other than Mr D’Anna who has a material personal interest in Resolution 16) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of Resolution 16 because the Fee Shares issued to Mr D’Anna will be issued at an equivalent issue

35

5358-02/3490544_16

price to Future Placement Shares issued to participants in the Future Placement and as such, the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

In respect of Resolution 17 the Directors (other than Mr Downey who has a material personal interest in Resolution 17) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of Resolution 17 because the Fee Shares issued to Mr Downey will be issued at an equivalent issue price to Future Placement Shares issued to participants in the Future Placement and as such, the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

17.3 Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 is summarised in Section 16.3 above.

The issue of Fee Shares to the Related Parties 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 16 and 17 seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Fee Shares to the Related Parties under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

17.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 16 and 17 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Fee Shares to the Related Parties 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 Fee Shares to the Related Parties (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Fee Shares will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolutions 16 and 17 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Fee Shares to the Related Parties and the Company may need to pay the amounts owing to each of Mr D’Anna and Mr Downey in cash which would adversely affect the Company’s available cash position.

17.5 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13

(b) the maximum number of Fee Shares to be issued to the Related Parties is up to that number of Shares which, when multiplied by the issue price, equals up to $232,680 comprising:

  • (i) $196,680 in respect of Gino D’Anna pursuant to Resolution 16; and

  • (ii) $36,000 in respect of Robert Downey pursuant to Resolution 17;

  • (f) the Fee Shares will be issued in satisfaction of fees owing to the Related Parties as set out in Section 17.1;
