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 RESOLUTIONS 1 - 4
1.1 General
As announced on 5 December 2024, the Company completed a private placement to sophisticated and institutional investors ( Placement Participants ) to raise $1,253,559 through the issue of 313,389,560 Shares at an issue price of $0.004 per Share, together with 1 free-attaching Option exercisable at $0.01 on or before 31 December 2027, for every 2 Shares subscribed for ( Placement ).
The Placement comprised:
-
(a) 313,389,560 Shares issued to the Placement Participants on 16 December 2024, comprising:
-
(i) 188,033,736 Shares under the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, which the Company is seeking to ratify under Resolution 1; and
(ii) 125,355,824 Shares Listing Rule 7.1A, which the Company is seeking to ratify under Resolution 2; and
- (b) 156,694,780 Options which will be issued to the Placement Participants on a 1 for 2 basis, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval under Resolution 3.
1.2 Lead Manager
On 2 December 2024, the Company entered into a mandate with CPS Capital Group Pty Ltd (AFSL 294848) ( CPS Capital ) pursuant to which CPS Capital was engaged by the Company to act as lead manager to the Placement ( Lead Manager Mandate ).
In accordance with the terms of the Lead Manager Mandate the Company has agreed to pay CPS Capital (or its nominee/s) the following fees (exclusive of GST):
-
(a) a placement fee of 6% (plus GST) of gross proceeds raised under the Placement; and
-
(b) subject to Shareholder approval, 100,000,000 Options exercisable at $0.01 on or before 31 December 2027.
Other than as noted above, the Lead Manager Mandate contains terms which are standard for an agreement of this type.
1.3 Use of funds
The funds raised from the Placement are intended to be used for exploration on the Company’s newly acquired mineral exploration projects in Uganda and its existing Kirkalocka Project, costs of the Placement and general working capital.
2. RESOLUTION 1 AND 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES - 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 313,389,560 Shares at an issue price of $0.004 per Share to raise approximately $1,253,559.
188,033,736 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being, the subject of Resolution 1) and 125,355,824 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A (being, the subject of Resolution 2) on 16 December 2024.

/1492_3
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 29 November 2024.
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 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 |
