The Chair considers voting by poll to be in the interests of the Shareholders as a whole and is a way to ensure the views of as many Shareholders as possible are represented at the Meeting.

How to vote

Shareholders may vote by:

  • (a) Using the online platform. We recommend logging in to the online platform at least 15 minutes prior to the scheduled start time for the Meeting using the instructions below:

A member who is entitled to vote at the Meeting may appoint:

  • (a) one proxy if the member is only entitled to one vote; or

  • (b) two proxies if the member is entitled to more than one vote.

Where the member appoints two proxies, the appointment may specify the proportion or number of votes that each proxy may exercise. If the appointment does not specify a proportion or number, each proxy may exercise one half of the votes, in which case any fraction of votes will be discarded.

A proxy need not be a member of the Company.

If you require an additional Proxy Form, please contact the Share Registry, Link Market Services Limited, on 1300 554 474, which will supply it on request.

The Proxy Form and the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed (or a certified copy) must be received by the Share Registry, Link Market Services Limited, no later 4 April 2022 at 10.00am (AEST) (that is, at least 48 hours before the meeting).

Proxies given by corporate Shareholders must be executed in accordance with their Constitutions or signed by a duly authorised attorney.

A proxy may decide whether to vote on any motion except where the proxy is required by law or the Constitution to vote, or abstain from voting, in their capacity as a proxy. If a proxy is directed how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may vote on that item only in accordance with that direction. If a proxy is not directed how to vote on an item of business, a proxy may vote how he or she thinks fit.

The Constitution provides that a Proxy Form issued by the Company may provide that where the appointment of a proxy has not identified the person who may exercise it, the appointment will be deemed to be given in favour of the Chair of the meeting to which it relates or to such other person as the Board determines.

If a Shareholder appoints the Chair of the meeting as the Shareholder’s proxy and does not specify how the Chair is to vote on an item of business, the Chair will vote, as a proxy for that Shareholder, in favour of the item on a poll.

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 to be put to Shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting to be held online (see further details in the Notice of Meeting) and at Level 35, Waterfront Place, 1 Eagle Street, Brisbane on 6 April 2022 at 10.00am (AEST).

The Notice of Meeting, which is also enclosed, sets out details of proposals concerning the Resolutions to be put to Shareholders.

The Directors recommend Shareholders read the accompanying Notice of Meeting and this Explanatory Statement in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions.

Unless otherwise defined, terms used in this Explanatory Statement are defined in the Glossary forming part of this Explanatory Statement.

2. Resolutions 1 and 2 – Ratification of previous issue of Placement Shares in November 2021

2.1 Background

On 11 November 2021, the Company announced its acquisition of the Bluff Mine and a placement of 68,750,000 Shares to raise $11 million at $0.16 per Share, managed by Petra Capital ( November 2021 Placement ).

The announcement noted that the Shares to be issued pursuant to the November 2021 Placement ( November 2021 Placement Shares ) would be issued using the Company's issue capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 (namely, 19,197,377 Shares) (the subject to Resolution 1) and 7.1A (namely, 49,552,623 Shares) (the subject of Resolution 2) (jointly, the Issue ).

2.2 ASX Listing Rules

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.

Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue equity securities up to 10% of their issued share capital through placements over a 12-month period after the annual general meeting at which approval was given by shareholders by Special Resolution ( 10% Placement Capacity ). The 10% Placement Capacity is in addition to the Company’s 15% issue capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. The Company obtained such approval at its annual general meeting in 2020 and consequently, issued 49,552,623 of the November 2021 Placement Shares using the 10% Placement Facility.

The Issue the subject of Resolution 1 does not fit within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, effectively uses up part of the 15% limit under 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.

Similarly, the Issue the subject of Resolution 2 used up the Company's additional 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A.

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 into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. To

6

this end, Resolutions 1 and 2 seek Shareholder approval to the Issue under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If Resolution 1 is passed, the Issue 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.

If resolution 1 is not passed, the Issue 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.

If Resolution 2 is passed, the Issue will be excluded in calculating the Company's additional 10% issue capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Issue will be included in calculating the Company's additional 10% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval unless and until the 10% Placement Capacity is approved.

2.3 Information required under Listing Rule 7.5

For Shareholders to ratify an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.4, the Company must provide the following information pursuant to Listing Rule 7.5 in relation to Resolutions 1 and 2:

2.4 Directors’ Recommendation

None of the Directors have a material personal interest in the subject matter of this Resolution. The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 1 and 2 as it will enable the Company to have flexibility in respect of future capital raising activities.

3. Resolution 3 – Ratification of previous issue of Bluff Consideration Shares under Listing Rule 7.1

3.1 Background to Resolution 3

As announced on 29 December 2021, the Company settled the remaining $4.75m acquisition price of the Bluff Mine through the issue of 27,941,177 fully paid ordinary shares at a price of $0.17 per share ( Bluff Consideration Shares ).

3.2 ASX Listing Rules

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.

The Bluff Consideration Shares do not fit within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, effectively uses up part of the 15% limit under 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.

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 into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rules 7.1. To this end, Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval to the Issue under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Issue 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.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Issue 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.

3.3 Information required under Listing Rule 7.5

For Shareholders to ratify an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.4, the Company must provide the following information pursuant to Listing Rule 7.5:

3.4 Directors’ Recommendation

None of the Directors have a material personal interest in the subject matter of this Resolution. The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution 3 as it will enable the Company to have flexibility in respect of future capital raising activities.

4. Resolutions 4 and 5 – Ratification of previous issue of Placement Shares in February 2022

4.1 Background

On 17 February 2022, the Company announced a placement of 207,353,813 Shares to raise approximately $41.5 million at $0.20 per Share, managed by Petra Capital ( February 2022 Placement ).

The announcement noted that the Shares to be issued pursuant to the February 2022 Placement ( February 2022 Placement Shares ) would be issued using the Company's issue capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 (namely, 135,288,440 Shares) (the subject of Resolution 4) and 7.1A (namely, 72,065,373 Shares) (the subject of Resolution 5) (jointly, the Issue ).

4.2 ASX Listing Rules

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.

Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue equity securities up to 10% of their issued share capital through placements over a 12-month period after the annual general meeting at which approval was given by shareholders by Special Resolution ( 10% Placement Capacity ). The 10% Placement Capacity is in addition to the Company’s 15% issue capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. The Company obtained such approval at its annual general meeting in 2021 and consequently, issued 72,065,373 of the February 2022 Placement Shares using the 10% Placement Facility.

The Issue the subject to Resolution 4 does not fit within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, effectively uses up part of the 15% limit under 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.

Similarly, the Issue the subject of Resolution 5 used up the Company's additional 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A.

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.

9

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 Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. To this end, Resolutions 4 and 5 seek Shareholder approval to the Issue under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Issue 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.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Issue 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.

If Resolution 5 is passed, the Issue will be excluded in calculating the Company's additional 10% issue capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Issue will be included in calculating the Company's additional 10% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval unless and until the 10% Placement Capacity is approved.

4.3 Information required under Listing Rule 7.5

For Shareholders to ratify an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.4, the Company must provide the following information pursuant to Listing Rule 7.5 in relation to Resolutions 1 and 2:
