EXPLANATORY STATEMEN 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
1.1 Acquisition
As announced on 5 April 2019, the Company has conditionally agreed to acquire six prospecting licences and two exploration licences located in Western Australia ( Tenements ) ( Acquisition ). Refer to the announcement released on 5 April 2019 for further details in respect of the Acquisition and the Tenements.
The Acquisition will be implemented through the settlement of an asset sale agreement between the Company and the registered holders of the Tenements, being Simon Coxhell and his controlled entity Coxsrocks Pty Ltd (ACN 111 457 231) ( Vendors ) ( Acquisition Agreement ).
The consideration payable under the Acquisition Agreement comprises the issue of a total of 2,713,404 Shares to the Vendors (or their nominees) ( Consideration Shares ) and the payment of $100,000 to the Vendors (or their nominees). In addition, the Company has agreed to pay a royalty to the Vendors of 2% of the net smelter return from three of the Tenements, being P37/8725, E37/1164 and E37/1165.
The Directors have considered ASX Listing Rule 10.1 does not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is only sought for the issue of the Consideration Shares under ASX Listing Rule 10.11.
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Consideration Shares.
1.2 Issue of Related Party Options
As announced on 5 April 2019, Vendor, Mr Simon Coxhell has been appointed as a non-executive director of the Company.
The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval in accordance with Resolution 2, to issue 10,000,000 Options ( Related Party Options ) to Mr Simon Coxhell (or his nominee) as a performance linked incentive component in Mr Coxhell’s remuneration package to motivate and reward his performance as a Director. The Related Party Options will be exercisable at $0.05 on or before 31 March 2022.
The Company considers that the issue of the Related Party Options is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of this benefit 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 Mr Coxhell. In addition, the Company considers that the issue of the Related Party Options will align the interests of Mr Coxhell with those of the Shareholders.
Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Related Party Options.

1.3 Entitlement Offer and Option Placement
As announced on 5 April 2019, the Company is proposing to conduct an entitlement offer of one Option for every two Shares held by eligible Shareholders ( Entitlement Offer ).
In addition, the Company is proposing to issue of up to 92,499,998 Options ( New Options ) at an issue price of $0.001 per New Option to raise up to $92,500 ( Option Placement ). The New Options will be exercisable at $0.05 on or before 31 March 2022.
Former holders of Options which were exercisable at $0.08 expired on 1 March 2019 ( Expired Options ) will be eligible to apply for New Options. The Directors reserve the right, at their absolute discretion, to issue any New Options not taken up under the Option Placement to unrelated parties.
The primary purpose of the Option Placement is to reward holders of Expired Options for their ongoing commitment and loyalty to the Company, some having held the Expired Options for nearly three years.
The Entitlement Offer and the Option Placement (together, the Offers ) will be undertaken through the issue of a prospectus, which is expected to be released shortly.
The indicative timetable for the Option Placement is set out below:
| Action | Date* |
|---|---|
| Date for determining eligibility for New Options_**_ | 5 April 2019 |
| General Meeting of Shareholders to approve the issue of Options under the Option Placement |
20 May 2019 |
| Lodgement of the prospectus with the ASIC and ASX | 20 May 2019 |
| Opening Date of the Option Placement | 29 May 2019 |
| Closing Date of the Option Placement | 10 June 2019 |
* The Directors reserve the right to bring forward or extend the Closing Date of the Option Placement at any time after the Opening Date of the Option Placement without notice.
** Holders of Expired Options will be able to apply for New Options
The Company will apply the funds raised from the Option Placement towards meeting the expenses of preparing and lodging the prospectus with the ASIC and the ASX, working capital and administration costs.
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the New Options.
1.4 Lead Manager Options
The Company has engaged Cicero Corporate Pty Ltd ( Cicero ) to act as lead manager to the Entitlement Offer and the Option Placement pursuant to a lead manager mandate ( Lead Manager Mandate ).
In accordance with the terms of the Lead Manager Mandate, the Company has agreed to issue up to 3,857,204 Options to Cicero (or its nominee) in consideration for service provided in connection with the Entitlement Offer ( Lead Manager
5
Options ). The Lead Manager Options will be exercisable at $0.05 on or before 31 March 2022.
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Lead Manager Options.
2. RESOLUTION 1 – ISSUE OF CONSIDERATION SHARES TO MR SIMON COXHELL
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Consideration Shares to the Vendors (or their nominees).
2.1 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,
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 Consideration Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit. Mr Simon Coxhell is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director and Coxsrocks Pty Ltd (ACN 111 457 231) is a related party of the Company as it is controlled by Simon Coxhell.
The Directors (other than Mr Simon Coxhell 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 issue of the Consideration Shares because the agreement to issue the Consideration Shares reached as part of the Acquisition Agreement is considered reasonable consideration for the Acquisition and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.
2.2
ASX Listing Rule 10.11
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.
As Resolution 1 involves the issue of Shares to a related party of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.
2.3 Technical Information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to issue of the Consideration Shares:
-
(a) the Shares will be issued to Vendors (or their nominees);
-
(b) the maximum number of Shares to be issued is 2,713,404;
6
-
(c) the Shares will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules);
-
(d) the Shares will be issued for nil cash consideration;
-
(e) the Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares; and
-
(f) no funds will be raised from the issue as the Shares are being issued in consideration for the Acquisition.
Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Consideration Shares as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Consideration Shares to Vendors (or their nominees) will not be included in the use of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
3. RESOLUTION 2 – ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO MR SIMON COXHELL
3.1 General
Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the grant of the Related Party Options to Mr Simon Coxhell (or his nominee).
3.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.11
A summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is set out in Sections 2.1 and 2.2 above respectively.
The grant of Related Party Options constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Coxhell is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
The Directors (other than Mr Coxhell 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 Related Party Options because the agreement to grant the Related Party Options, reached as part of the remuneration package for Mr Coxhell, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.
As the grant of the Related Party Options involves the issue of securities to a related party of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.
3.3 Technical Information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 2:
-
(a) the Related Party Options will be granted to Mr Coxhell (or his nominee);
-
(b) the number of Related Party Options to be issued is 10,000,000;
-
(c) the Related Party Options will be granted no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any
7
ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Options will occur on the same date/progressively;
-
(d) the Related Party Options will be issued for nil cash consideration; accordingly no funds will be raised; and
-
(e) the terms and conditions of the Related Party Options are set out in Schedule 1.
Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the grant of the Related Party Options as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the grant of Related Party Options to Mr Coxhell (or his nominee) will not be included in the use of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
4. RESOLUTION 3 – ISSUE OF NEW OPTIONS TO PARTICIPANTS IN THE OPTION PLACEMENT
4.1 General
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 92,499,998 New Options under the Option Placement. Further details of the Option Placement are set out in Section 1.3.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
The effect of this Resolution will be to allow the Company to issue the New Options pursuant to the Option Placement during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
4.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the Option Placement:
-
(a) the maximum number of New Options to be issued is 92,499,998;
