E X P L A N A T O R Y S T A T E M E N T
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.
1. BACKGROUND TO RESOLUTIONS 1 TO 3
1.1 Placement
On 2 July 2025, the Company announced that it had received firm commitments from sophisticated and institutional investors ( Placement Participants ) to raise $22,605,050 through the issue of 289,808,346 Shares at an issue price of $0.078 per Share ( Placement ). Pursuant to the Placement, 153,311,103 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and 136,497,243 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A on 9 July 2025.
1.2 Joint Lead Managers
The Company engaged Wallabi and Evolution to act as the joint lead managers to the Placement pursuant to a mandate ( JLM Mandate ). In accordance with the terms of the JLM Mandate, the Company agreed to pay the Joint Lead Managers (or their nominee(s)) the following fees:
-
(a) a management and selling fee of up to 6.0% of the total proceeds raised under the Placement (excluding GST) payable in cash;
-
(b) an issue of 20,000,000 Options (exercisable at $0.15 on or before the date that is three years from the date of issue) ( Broker Options ), subject to shareholder approval (being sought under Resolution 3). If the Company does not issue the Broker Options by 31 December 2025, it must pay the Joint Lead Managers a cash amount equal to their value at the date of completion of the Placement.
The fees payable under the JLM Mandate will be split equally between Evolution and Wallabi. Other than as noted above, the JLM Mandate contains terms which are standard for an agreement of this type.
1.3 Use of funds
The funds raised from the Placement will be applied primarily towards a 50,000 metre drilling program, geophysics, induced polarisation survey, magnetics and further fieldwork, Metallurgical and Geotechnical work at the Mankayan Copper Gold Project as well as general working capital purposes.
2. RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES UNDER THE PLACEMENT – LISTING RULES 7.1 AND 7.1A
2.1 General
These Resolutions seek Shareholder ratification for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of an aggregate of 289,808,346 Shares to the Placement Participants under the Placement.
153,311,103 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being the subject of Resolution 1) and 136,497,243 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A (being the subject of Resolution 2). Further details of the Placement are set out in Section 1.
2.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that 12 month period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A however, an Eligible Entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%. The Company obtained this approval at its annual general meeting held on 25 November 2024.
5
The issue does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of the issue.
2.3 Listing Rule 7.4
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue.
2.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If these Resolutions are passed, the issue will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of the issue.
If these Resolutions are not passed, the issue will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of the issue.
2.5 Resolutions 1 and 2 – Technical information required by Listing Rules 7.4 and 7.5
| REQUIRED INFORMATION | DETAILS |
|---|---|
| Names of persons to whom Securities were issued or the basis on which those persons were identified/selected |
The Shares were issued to professional and sophisticated investors who were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved the Joint Lead Managers seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from non-related parties of the Company. The Company confirms that no Material Persons were issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company. |
| Number and class of Securities issued |
289,808,346 Shares were issued on the following basis: (a) 153,311,103 Shares were issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 1); and (b) 136,497,243 Shares were issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 2). |
| Terms of Securities | The Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares. |
| Date(s) on or by which the Securities were issued |
9 July 2025. |

|---|---|
| Purpose of the issue, including the intended use of any funds raised by the issue |
Refer to Section 1.3 for details of the proposed use of funds. |
| Summary of material terms of agreement to issue |
The Shares were issued under customary placement agreements between the Company and the Placement Participants. |

A voting exclusion statement applies to each of these Resolutions. |

3. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE OPTIONS TO THE JOINT LEAD MANAGERS
3.1 General
As set out in Section 1.2, this Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of an aggregate of 20,000,000 Broker Options to the Joint Lead Managers in consideration for their services provided under the Placement.
3.2 Listing Rule 7.1
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 2.2 above.
The proposed issue falls within exception 17 of Listing Rule 7.2. Under Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 17), if the issue of securities is subject to prior shareholder, it does not count toward the 15% placement limit set by Listing Rule 7.1. The proposed issue therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
3.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue. In addition, the issue will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue and must pay the Joint Lead Managers a cash amount equal to the value of the Broker Options (as described in Section 1.2) which will reduce the Company’s cash reserves.
3.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3
| REQUIRED INFORMATION | DETAILS |
|---|---|
| Names of persons to whom Securities will be issued or the basis on which those persons were or will be identified/selected |
The Joint Lead Managers (being Wallabi and Evolution). |
| Number of Securities and class to be issued |
(a) 10,000,000 Broker Options to Wallabi (or its nominee(s)); and (b) 10,000,000 Broker Options to Evolution (or its nominee(s)). |
| Terms of Securities | The Broker Options will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1. |
7
| REQUIRED INFORMATION | DETAILS |
|---|---|
| Date(s) on or by which the Securities will be issued |
The Company expects to issue the Broker Options within 5 Business Days of the Meeting. In any event, the Company will not issue any Broker Options later than three months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). |
| Price or other consideration the Company will receive for the Securities |
The Broker Options will be issued at a nil issue price, in consideration for lead manager services provided under the Placement. |
| Purpose of the issue, including the intended use of any funds raised by the issue |
The purpose of the issue is to satisfy the Company’s obligations under the JLM Mandate. |
| Summary of material terms of agreement to issue |
The Broker Options are being issued pursuant to the JLM Mandate, the material terms of which are summarised in Section 1.2. |
| Voting exclusion statement |
A voting exclusion statement applies to this Resolution. |
4. RESOLUTIONS 4 TO 6 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE OPTIONS TO THE RELATED PARTIES
4.1 General
These Resolutions seek Shareholder approval for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of up to an aggregate of 98,000,000 Options to Hamish Halliday, Scott Williamson and Geoff Gilmour (or their nominee(s)) (together, the Related Parties ) on the terms and conditions set out below.
Further details in respect of the Options proposed to be issued are set out in the tables below.
| PARTICULARS | SCOTT WILLIAMSON (OR HIS NOMINEE(S)) |
||
|---|---|---|---|
| HAMISH HALLIDAY | GEOFF GILMOUR | ||
| (OR HIS NOMINEE(S)) | (OR HIS NOMINEE(S)) | ||
| Resolution | 4 | 5 | 6 |
| Class A Options1 | 12,000,000 | 25,000,000 | 12,000,000 |
| Class B Options2 | 12,000,000 | 25,000,000 | 12,000,000 |
| Total Options | 24,000,000 | 50,000,000 | 24,000,000 |
Note :
-
Exercisable at $0.15 on or before the date that is three years from the date of issue, and issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 2.
-
Exercisable at $0.30 on or before the date that is five years from the date of issue, and issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 2.
4.2 Director Recommendation
Each Director has a material personal interest in the outcome of these Resolutions on the basis that all of the Directors (or their nominee(s)) are to be issued Options should these Resolutions be passed. For this reason, the Directors do not believe that it is appropriate to make a recommendation on these Resolutions.
8
4.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that for a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
-
(a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(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 constitutes giving a financial benefit and each of the proposed recipients is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
As 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. Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the issue is sought in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
4.4 Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:
-
10.11.1 a related party;
-
10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
-
10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;
-
10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The issue 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.
4.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If these Resolutions are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If these Resolutions are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue. Consequently, the Company may have to find alternative means to incentivise the Related Parties, such as increasing their cash-based remuneration which will have the effect of depleting the Company’s existing cash reserves.
9
4.6 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act
| REQUIRED INFORMATION | DETAILS |
|---|---|
| Name of the persons to whom Securities will be issued |
The proposed recipients of the Options are set out in Section 4.1 above. |
| Categorisation under Listing Rule 10.11 |
Each of the proposed recipients falls within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1 as they are a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director. Any nominee(s) of the proposed recipients who receive Options may constitute ‘associates’ for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.4. |
| Number of Securities and class to be issued |
The maximum number of Options to be issued (being the nature of the financial benefit proposed to be given) is 98,000,000 which will be allocated as set out in the table in Section 4.1 above. |
| Terms of Securities | The Options will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 2. |
| Date(s) on or by which the Securities will be issued |
The Company expects to issue the Options within 5 Business Days of the Meeting. In any event, the Company will not issue any Options later than one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). |
| Price or other consideration the Company will receive for the Securities |
The Options will be issued at a nil issue price. |
| Purpose of the issue, including the intended use of any funds raised by the issue |
The purpose of the issue is to provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for the proposed recipients to align the interests of the proposed recipients with those of Shareholders, to motivate and reward the performance of the proposed recipients in their roles as Directors and to provide a cost effective way from the Company to remunerate the proposed recipients, which will allow 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 the proposed recipients. |
| Consideration of type of Security to be issued |
The Company has agreed to issue the Options for the following reasons: (a) the issue of the Options has no immediate dilutionary impact on Shareholders; (b) the deferred taxation benefit which is available to the proposed recipients in respect of an issue of Options is also beneficial to the Company as it means the proposed recipients are not required to immediately sell the Options to fund a tax liability (as would be the case in an issue of Shares where the tax liability arises upon issue of the Shares) and will instead, continue to hold an interest in the Company; (c) the issue is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of this benefit will allow the Companyto spend agreaterproportion of its |
10
| REQUIRED INFORMATION | DETAILS |
|---|---|
| cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to the Related Parties; and (d) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Options on the terms proposed. |
|
| Consideration of quantum of Securities to be issued |
The number of Options to be issued has been determined based upon a consideration of: (a) current market standards and/or practices of other ASX listed companies of a similar size and stage of development to the Company; (b) the remuneration of the proposed recipients; and (c) incentives to attract and retain the service of the Related Parties who have appropriate knowledge and expertise, while maintaining the Company’s cash reserves. The Company does not consider that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Options upon the terms proposed. |
| Remuneration | The total remuneration package for each of the proposed recipients for the previous financial year and the proposed total remuneration package for the current financial year are set out below: RELATED PARTY CURRENT FINANCIAL YEAR ENDING 30 JUNE 2026 PREVIOUS FINANCIAL YEAR ENDING 30 JUNE 2025 Hamish Halliday $1,227,5161 $155,0004 Scott Williamson $2,658,1582 $459,1165 Geoff Gilmour $1,157,5163 $nil6 Notes: 1.
