Blaze Minerals Limited is convening a General Meeting of shareholders to be held on Tuesday 12 April 2022 at 10:00 am (WST) at Suite 9, 330 Churchill Avenue, Subiaco WA 6008 ( Meeting ).

The Treasury Law Amendments (2021 Measure No. 1) Act 2021 facilitates the electronic dispatch of notices of meeting until 1 April 2022. Accordingly, the Company will not be sending hard copies of the Notice of Meeting to shareholders who have not previously opted in to receiving electronic copies. Instead, the Notice of Meeting can be viewed and downloaded from the website link: https://www2.asx.com.au/markets/trade-our-cash-market/historical-announcements and by entering the code ‘BLZ’. You may vote by attending the Meeting in person, by proxy, or by appointing an authorised representative.

Voting in Person

To vote in person, attend the Meeting on the date and at the place as set out above.

Appointment of Proxy: Shareholders who are entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting, may appoint a proxy to act generally at the Meeting and to vote on their behalf. The proxy does not need to be a Shareholder. A Shareholder that is entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint two proxies and should specify the proportion of votes each proxy is entitled to exercise. If a Shareholder appoints two proxies, each proxy may exercise half of the Shareholder's votes if no proportion or number of votes is specified.

Voting by proxy: A Shareholder can direct its proxy to vote for, against or abstain from voting on each Resolution by marking the appropriate box in the voting directions to your proxy section of the Proxy Form. If a proxy holder votes, they must cast all votes as directed. Any directed proxies that are not voted will automatically default to the Chairman, who must vote the proxies as directed in the Proxy Form. Proxy Forms must be received by 10:00am (WST) on 10 April 2022.

This Notice of Meeting should be read in its entirety. If Shareholders are in doubt as to how they should vote, they should seek advice from their professional advisers prior to voting.

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 OFFER

1.1 Priority Offer

On 22 February 2022, the Company announced that its listed options on issue with an exercise price of $0.05 are scheduled to expire at 5.00pm WST on 31 March 2022 ( Expiring Options ).

The Company announced that, subject to shareholder approval sought pursuant to Resolution 1, the Company will issue up to 327,499,889 Options at an issue price of $0.001 per Option ( Priority Options ) to raise up to $327,500. The Priority Options will be issued to holders of Expiring Options on a 1 for 1 basis and will have an exercise price of $0.05 and an expiry date of 31 May 2024. The Company will issue the Priority Options pursuant to a prospectus ( Prospectus ) which will invite applications for the Priority Options (Priority Offer ). All holders of Expiring Options will be eligible to apply for the Priority Options, with the record date for the Priority Offer being 30 March 2022.

Two of the Company’s Directors, Mr Simon Coxhell and Mr Mathew Walker, intend to take up Priority Options under the Priority Offer on a 1 for 1 basis with their holdings of Expiring Options, subject to Shareholder approval sought pursuant to Resolutions 2 and 3.

Resultingly, the Company intends to issue the following Priority Options under the Priority Offer:

  • (a) 304,849,889 Priority Options to holders of Expiring Options (who are not related parties of the Company or persons listed in ASX Listing Rule 10.11), subject to Shareholder approval sought pursuant to Resolution 1;

  • (b) 16,150,000 Priority Options to Mr Simon Coxhell, subject to Shareholder approval sought pursuant to Resolution 2; and

  • (c) 6,500,000 Priority Options to Mr Mathew Walker, subject to Shareholder approval sought pursuant to Resolution 3.

In the event that not all Priority Options are taken up by holders of Expiring Options, it is proposed that remaining Priority Options will be placed to unrelated parties of the Company (who are not persons listed in ASX Listing Rule 10.11) at the discretion of the Directors of the Company.

1.2 Director Offer

The Company proposes to issue Directors Simon Coxhell and David Prentice an additional 15,000,000 Priority Options each (a total of an additional 30,000,000 Priority Options) in addition to the Priority Options to be issued under the Priority Offer ( Director Offer ). The Company is seeking Shareholder approval of this proposed issue pursuant to Resolutions 4 and 5 below.

6

Notice of Meeting - BLZ (01 03 22)(2891389.4) - FINAL

2. RESOLUTION 1 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE PRIORITY OPTIONS UNDER THE OFFER

2.1 General

The Company is proposing to issue up to 327,499,889 Priority Options to holders of Expiring Options, on a 1 for 1 basis. As set out above in Section 1.1, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval to issue 304,849,889 Priority Options to holders of Expiring Options who are unrelated parties of the Company.

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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

The proposed issue of the Priority Options does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2. While the issue does not exceed the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and can therefore be made without breaching 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 under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 so that it does not use up any of its 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

2.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 1 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Priority Options. In addition, the issue of the Priority Options 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 Resolution 1 is not passed, the issue of the Priority Options will not proceed.

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Priority Options.

2.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 1:

  • (a) the Priority Options will be issued to holders of the Expiring Options who are not related parties of the Company;

  • (b) the maximum number of Priority Options to be issued is 304,849,889. The terms and conditions of the Priority Options are set out in Schedule 1;

  • (c) the Company intends to apply for quotation of the Priority Options;

  • (d) the Priority Options will be issued no later than 3 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) and it is intended that issue of the Priority Options will occur on the same date;

  • (e) the issue price will be $0.001 per Priority Option. The Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Priority Options (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Priority Options);

7

Notice of Meeting - BLZ (01 03 22)(2891389.4) - FINAL

  • (f) the purpose of the issue of the Priority Options is to reward holders of Expired Option for their ongoing commitment and loyalty to the Company and to raise $327,500. The Company intends to apply the funds raised from the issue towards the exploration and development of the Company’s existing exploration assets and for working capital purposes;

  • (g) the Priority Options are not being issued under an agreement; and

  • (h) the Priority Options are not being issued under, or to fund, a reverse takeover.

3. RESOLUTIONS 2 AND 3 – PARTICIPATION OF MR COXHELL AND MR WALKER IN PRIORITY OFFER

3.1 General

As set out in Section 1.1, Directors Simon Coxhell and Mathew Walker are seeking Shareholder approval (pursuant to Resolutions 2 and 3) to participate in the Priority Offer on a 1 for 1 basis with their holdings of Expiring Options ( Participation ).

Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the issue of:

  • (a) 16,150,000 Priority Options to Mr Simon Coxhell (or his nominee) (pursuant to Resolution 2); and

  • (b) 6,500,000 Priority Options to Mr Mathew Walker (or his nominee) (pursuant to Resolution 3).

3.2 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,

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

The Participation will result in the issue of Options which constitutes giving a financial benefit and Directors Simon Coxhell and Mathew Walker are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

The Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the Participation because the Options will be issued to Messrs Coxhell and Walker (or their nominees) on the same terms as Options issued to non-related party participants in the Offer and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

3.3 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:

8

Notice of Meeting - BLZ (01 03 22)(2891389.4) - FINAL

  • 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 Participation 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 2 to 3 seek Shareholder approval for the Participation under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

3.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 2 to 3 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Options under the Participation 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) and will raise additional funds which will be used in the manner set out in Section 2.3(f) above. As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Options in respect of the Participation (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 Resolutions 2 to 3 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Options under the Participation and no further funds will be raised in respect of the Offer.

3.5 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 Resolutions 4 to 6:

  • (a) the Options will be issued to Simon Coxhell, Mathew Walker and David Prentice (or their nominees), who fall within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1, as they are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors;

  • (b) the maximum total number of Options to be issued to:

  • (i) Simon Coxhell: 16,150,000 Priority Options; and (ii) Mathew Walker: 6,500,000 Priority Options.

9

Notice of Meeting - BLZ (01 03 22)(2891389.4) - FINAL

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

  • (d) the Options 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 Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Options will occur on the same date;

  • (e) the issue price will be $0.001 per Option, being the same issue price as Options issued to other participants in the Offer. The Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Options (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Options);

  • (f) the purpose of the issue of Options under the Participation is to raise capital, which the Company intends to use in the manner set out in Section 2.3(f) above;

  • (g) the Options to be issued under the Participation are not intended to remunerate or incentivise the Director;

  • (h) the Options are not being issued under an agreement; and

  • (i) a voting exclusion statement is included in Resolutions 4 and 3 of the Notice.

4. RESOLUTIONS 4 AND 5 – ISSUE OF PRIORITY OPTIONS TO RELATED PARTIES PURSUANT TO DIRECTOR OFFER

4.1 General

As set out in Section 1.2 above, the Company intends to issue Directors Simon Coxhell and David Prentice an additional 15,000,000 Priority Options each ( Director Offer ) in addition to the 327,499,889 Priority Options to be issued under the Priority Offer.

Accordingly, Resolutions 4 and 5 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of up to a total of 30,000,000 Options to Directors Simon Coxhell and David Prentice (or their nominees), as a result of the Director Offer on the terms set out below.

4.2 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,

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

The Director Offer will result in the issue of Options which constitutes giving a financial benefit and Directors Simon Coxhell and David Prentice are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

The Board (other than Messrs Coxhell and Prentice who have a material personal interest in the Resolution) considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to

10

Notice of Meeting - BLZ (01 03 22)(2891389.4) - FINAL

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the grant of Options because the agreement to issue the Options, reached as part of the remuneration package for Messrs Coxhell and Prentice, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.

4.3

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 Director 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 4 and 5 seek Shareholder approval for the Director Offer under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

4.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 4 and 5 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Options under the Director Offer 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) and will raise additional funds which will be used in the manner set out in Section 2.3(f) above. As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Options in respect of the Director Offer (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 Resolutions 4 and 5 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Options under the Director Offer and the Company may seek alternative means to further remunerate Messrs Coxhell and Prentice.

4.5

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 Resolutions 4 and 5:
