==> picture [72 x 42] intentionally omitted <==

1.2 Voting consequences

Under the Corporations Act, 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.

1.3 Previous voting results

At the Company’s previous Annual General Meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Meeting.

1.4 Voting Intention

The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of the Resolution.

2. Background to Resolutions 2, 3 and 4 – Re-election of Directors

ASX Listing Rule 14.4 provides that other than a managing director, a director of an entity must not hold office (without re-election) past the third AGM following the director’s appointment or 3 years, whichever is the longer. However, where there is more than one managing director, only one is entitled not to be subject to re-election.

Clause 13.2 of the Constitution requires that at the annual general meeting, one-third of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not a multiple of 3, then the number nearest one-third (rounded upwards in case of doubt) shall retire from office, provided always that no Director other than the Managing Director shall hold office for more than 3 years or until the third annual general meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting himself for re-election. The Directors to retire at an annual general meeting are those who have been longest in office since their last election. In determining the number of Directors to retire by rotation, no account is to be taken of a Director who only holds office until the next annual general meeting pursuant to clause 13.4 of the Constitution. A retiring director is eligible for re-election.

The Directors have resolved to implement best practice and to request that Shareholders consider the re-election of all Directors at each annual general meeting. This practice provides Shareholders with an opportunity to vote on the reelection of each of the Company’s Directors each year and ask questions about their proposed re-appointment.

3. Resolution 2 – Re-election of Director – Mr Xu (Geoffrey) Han

3.1 General

Mr Han, who has served as a director since 30 June 2016 and was last re-elected at the Company’s 2019 Annual General Meeting held on 25 November 2019, retires in accordance with the Company’s Constitution and the current practice of the Board and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election.

3.4 Qualifications and other directorships

Mr Han holds a Masters in Chemical Engineering from Curtin University and has held senior engineering positions with a number of WA resource companies over the last 10 years. Mr Han specialises in mining project development of all stages from scoping study through to construction and has managed a number of mining projects during his career.

3.3 Independence

The Board has considered Mr Han’s independence and considers that he is not an independent director.

3.4 Board Recommendation

The Board has reviewed Mr Han’s performance since his appointment to the Board and considers that Mr Han’s skills and experience will continue to enhance the Board’s ability to perform its role. Accordingly, the Board (other than Mr Han) recommends Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution.

==> picture [72 x 42] intentionally omitted <==

6. Resolution 5 – Ratification of Prior Issue of Shares under Placement

6.1 General

On 6 March 2020, the Company issued 30,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.012 per share to raise $360,000, before costs ( Placement ). The Shares were issued under the placement capacity available to the Company under Listing Rule 7.1.

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

6.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1

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 the period.

The issue of the Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by the Company’s 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 issue date of the Shares.

6.3 ASX Listing Rule 7.4

Listing Rule 7.4 allows 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 be 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 into the future without having to obtain shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. To this end, the Company is seeking shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of Shares.

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

6.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 5 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 it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date of the Shares.

If Resolution 5 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 it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date of the Shares.

It is noted that the Company’s ability to utilise the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A for issues of equity securities following this Meeting remains conditional on Resolution 6 being passed at this Meeting.

6.5 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 5:

  • (a) a total of 30,000,000 Shares were issued under the placement capacity available to the Company under Listing Rule 7.1;

  • (b) the issue price per Placement Share was $0.012;

  • (c) 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 6 March 2020;

  • (e) the Shares were issued to Ehsan Bina Sdn Bhd, who is not a related party of the Company:

  • (f) the funds raised from the issue were principally used to progress the exploration and evaluation work at the Company’s Medcalf Project in addition to supplementing general working capital;

  • (g) the Shares were issued under a subscription agreement made to record the terms of the Placement. There are no other material terms of the agreement; and

  • (h) a voting exclusion statement has been included for this Resolution.

7

==> picture [72 x 42] intentionally omitted <==

6.6 Board Recommendation

The Board recommends Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution.

6.7 Voting Intention

The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of the Resolution.

7. Resolution 6 – Approval of 7.1A Mandate

7.1 Background

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.

Resolution 6 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 6 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 6 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.

7.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the information is provided below in relation to Resolution 6:

(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;

  • (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 paragraph (i) above, 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 to progress the exploration and evaluation work at the Company’s Medcalf Project in addition to supplementing general working capital and covering the costs of the issue of Equity Securities.

(d) Risk of Economic and Voting Dilution

Any issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate will dilute the interests of those Shareholders who do not

8

==> picture [72 x 42] intentionally omitted <==

receive any Shares under the issue.

If Resolution 6 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 as at 20 October 2020.

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 pro-rata 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:

  • (i) There are currently 672,136,191 Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meeting.

  • (ii) The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 20 October 2020.

  • (iii) The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate.

  • (iv) 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.

  • (v) 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.

  • (vi) 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.

  • (vii) This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (viii) 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%.

  • (ix) 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.

(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) the alternative methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, entitlements issues, share purchase plans, placement or other issues in which existing security holders may participate;

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

  • (iv) the dilutionary effect of the proposed issue of the Equity Securities on existing Shareholders at the time of proposed issue of Equity Securities;

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

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

(f) Previous approval under Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company did not obtain approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 25 November 2019. 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.

7.3 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.

1. Appointment of Proxy

Voting 100% of your holding: Direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. If you do not mark a box your proxy may vote as they choose. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote will be invalid on that item.

Voting a portion of your holding: Indicate a portion of your voting rights by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the For, Against or Abstain box or boxes. The sum of the votes cast must not exceed your voting entitlement or 100%.

Appointing a second proxy: If you are entitled to cast two or more votes you may appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you appoint two proxies you must specify the percentage of votes or number of securities for each proxy, otherwise each proxy may exercise half of the votes. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. If a member appoints two proxies and the appointments do not specify the proportion or number of the member’s votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes. Any fractions of votes resulting from the application of these principles will be disregarded.

A duly appointed proxy need not be a securityholder of the company.

Attending the Meeting: Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent you from attending the Meeting in person if you wish. Where you complete and lodge a valid Proxy Form and attend the Meeting in person, your proxy’s authority to speak and vote for you is suspended while you are present at the Meeting.

2. Items of Business

You may direct your proxy how to vote by placing a mark in one of the three boxes opposite each item of business. All your securities (or such lesser number as indicated by you on the proxy form) will be voted in accordance with your directions. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given item, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses subject to relevant laws. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote on that item will be invalid.

3. Signing Instructions

You must sign this form as follows in the spaces provided:

Individual: Where the holding is in one name, the securityholder must sign.

Joint Holding: Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the securityholders must sign.

Power of Attorney: Pease attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.

Companies: Where the company has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary, this form must be signed by that person. If the company (pursuant to section 204A of the Corporations Act 2001 ) does not have a company secretary, a sole director can also sign alone. Otherwise this form must be signed by a director jointly with either another director or a company secretary. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held. Delete titles as applicable.
