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. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2018 together with the declaration of the directors, the directors’ report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report.

The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at www.stoneral.com.au.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

2.1 General

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of the company.

The remuneration report sets out the company’s remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the company for a financial year.

The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.

2.2 Voting consequences

A company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.

If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.

All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.

Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.

5

2.3 Previous voting results

At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MR YONGJI DUAN

3.1 General

ASX Listing Rule 14.4 provides that, other than a managing director, a director of an entity must not hold office (without re-election) past the third AGM following the director’s appointment or 3 year, whichever is the longer. However, where there is more than one managing director, only one is entitled not to be subject to re-election.

The Constitution sets out the requirements for determining which Directors are to retire by rotation at an annual general meeting.

Yongji Duan, who has served as a director since 4 November 2011 and was last re-elected on 27 November 2015, retires by rotation and seeks re-election.

3.2 Qualifications and other material directorships

4.3 Independence

4.4 Board recommendation

The Board supports the re-election of Mr Lu and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

5. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL FOR ISSUE OF SHARES TO MR GUOFU ZU

5.1 General

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 5,225,653 Shares at an issue price of nil per Share to Mr Guofu Zu (or his nominee) ( Zu Shares ). Mr Zu is Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Directors, who do not have a material personal interest in this Resolution, consider that the agreement to issue the Zu Shares was made on arm’s length terms.

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 commencement of that 12 month period.

The effect of this Resolution will be to allow the Company to issue the Shares to Mr Zu 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.

5.2 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 Placement:

• (a) the maximum number of Shares to be issued is 5,225,653;

• (b) the Shares 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 ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Shares will occur on the same date;

• (c) the issue price will be nil per Share;

• (d) the Shares will be issued to Mr Guofu Zu (or his nominee). Mr Zu is not a related party of the Company;

7

• (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 of the Zu Shares as they are being issued for nil consideration.

6. RESOLUTIONS 5 AND 6 – ISSUE OF SHARES TO DIRECTORS

6.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue 3,543,276 Shares ( Director Shares ) comprising:

• (a) 2,583,276 Director Shares to Yongji Duan ( Resolution 5 ); and

• (b) 960,000 Director Shares to Sandra Wheeler (Wife of William Hobba) ( Resolution 6 ),

(together the Related Parties ) (or their nominee) on the terms and conditions set out below.

Resolutions 5 and 6 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the Director Shares to the Related Parties (or their nominee).

6.2 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 grant of the Director Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit and the Related Parties are related parties of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

The Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E is not required in respect of the issue of Director Shares because the agreement to issue the Director Shares, reached as part of the remuneration package for the Related Parties, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.

6.3 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 the issue of Director Shares 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.

8

6.4 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 Resolutions 5 and 6:

• (a) The related parties to be issued Director Shares are Mr Duan, and Ms Wheeler (wife of director Mr Hobba) and they are related parties by virtue of being directors of the Company;

• (b) a total of 3,543,276 Director Shares will be granted to the Related Parties comprising:

• (i) 2,583,276 Shares to Yongji Duan pursuant to Resolution 5; and

• (ii) 960,000 Shares to Sandra Wheeler (wife of William Hobba) pursuant to Resolution 6.

• (c) the Director Shares will be granted 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 Director Shares will be issued for nil cash consideration, accordingly no funds will be raised; and

• (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.

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of Director Shares as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Director Shares to the Related Parties (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.

7. RESOLUTION 7 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY

7.1 General

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity (as defined below) may seek shareholder approval by special resolution passed at an annual general meeting to have the capacity to issue up to that number of Equity Securities (as defined below) equal to 10% of its issued capital ( 10% Placement Capacity ) without using that company’s existing 15% annual placement capacity granted under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:

• (a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and

• (b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300,000,000.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $1,605,754 (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 9 October 2018).

9

An Equity Security is a share, a unit in a trust, a right to a share or unit in a trust or option, an option over an issued or unissued security, a convertible security, or, any security that ASX decides to classify as an equity security.

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company currently has 1 class of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code:SHK).

If Shareholders approve Resolution 7, the number of Equity Securities the Company may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2.

Resolution 7 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 7 for it to be passed.

7.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution 7:

(a) Minimum Price

The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

• (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

• (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 ASX trading days of the date in section 7.2(b)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(b) Date of Issue

The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:

• (i) 12 months after the date of this Meeting; and

• (ii) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking) (after which date, an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A ceases to be valid),

( 10% Placement Capacity Period ).

(c)

Risk of voting dilution

Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.

10

If Resolution 7 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2), on the basis of the market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issue as at 9 October 2018.

The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.

Number of Shares on Issue (Variable ‘A’ in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A2)		Dilution	Dilution
	Issue Price (per Share)	0.001 50% decrease in Issue Price	0.002 Issue Price	0.003 50% increase in Issue Price
811,646,126 (Current Variable A)	Shares issued - 10% voting dilution	81,164,613 Shares	81,164,613 Shares	81,164,613 Shares
	Funds raised	$81,165	$162,329	$243,494
1,217,469,189 (50% increase in Variable A)	Shares issued - 10% voting dilution	121,746,919 Shares	121,746,919 Shares	121,746,919 Shares
	Funds raised	$121,747	$243,494	$365,241
1,623,292,252 (100% increase in Variable A)	Shares issued - 10% voting dilution	162,329,225 Shares	162,329,225 Shares	162,329,225 Shares
	Funds raised	$162,329	$324,658	$486,988

*The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The table above uses the following assumptions:

1. There are currently 811,646,126 Shares on issue comprising:

2. (a) 802,877,197 existing Shares as at the date of this Notice of Meeting; and

3. (b) 8,768,929 Shares which will be issued if Resolutions 4, 5 and 6 are passed at this Meeting.

4. The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 9 October 2018.

5. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.

11

1. The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

2. The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.

3. The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

4. This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

5. The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

6. The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Capacity, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

• (i) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and

• (ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.

(d) Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity

The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for the following purposes:

• (i) as cash consideration in which case the Company intends to use funds raised for the acquisition of new resources, assets and investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition), continued exploration on the Company’s current assets and general working capital purposes; or

• (ii) as non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new resources, assets and investments in such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by listing Rule 7.1A.3.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.

(e) Allocation policy under the 10% Placement Capacity

The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.

The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:

• (i) the purpose of the issue;

• (ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;

12

• (iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

• (iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;

• (v) prevailing market conditions; and

• (vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new resources, assets or investments, it is likely that the recipients under the 10% Placement Capacity will be vendors of the new resources, assets or investments.

(f) Previous approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 24 November 2018 ( Previous Approval ).

The Company has not issued any Equity Securities pursuant to the Previous Approval.

During the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 24 November 2017, the Company otherwise issued a total of 58,036,551 Shares which represents approximately 7.80% of the total diluted number of Equity Securities on issue in the Company on 24 November 2017, which was 744,840,646.

Further details of the issues of Equity Securities by the Company during the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting are set out in Schedule 1.

How to Vote on Items of Business

All your securities will be voted in accordance with your directions.

Appointment of Proxy

Voting 100% of your holding: Direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. If you do not mark a box your proxy may vote or abstain as they choose (to the extent permitted by law). If you mark more than one box on an item your vote will be invalid on that item.

Voting a portion of your holding: Indicate a portion of your voting rights by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the For, Against or Abstain box or boxes. The sum of the votes cast must not exceed your voting entitlement or 100%.

Appointing a second proxy: You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you appoint two proxies you must specify the percentage of votes or number of securities for each proxy, otherwise each proxy may exercise half of the votes. When appointing a second proxy write both names and the percentage of votes or number of securities for each in Step 1 overleaf.

A proxy need not be a securityholder of the Company.
