3. Resolution 1 – Ratification of issue of 2023 Placement Shares

3.1 General

On 23 December 2022, the Company announced a capital raising of approximately $1,600,000 (before costs). The capital raising is comprised of the following two tranches:

  • (a) the issue of 96,500,000 Shares to unrelated parties ( 2023 Placement Shares ); and

  • (b) the issue of 3,500,000 Shares to certain Directors of the Company (or their respective nominees) ( Director Placement Shares ),

each at an issue price of $0.016 per Share (collectively, the 2023 Placement ).

On 11 January 2023, the Company issued the 2023 Placement Shares as follows:

  • (a) 35,286,878 2023 Placement Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • (b) 61,213,122 2023 Placement Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.

Resolution 1(a) and (b) seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the 2023 Placement Shares.

3.2

Listing Rules 7.1, 7.1A and 7.4

Broadly speaking, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the ability of a listed entity from issuing or agreeing to issue Equity Securities over a 12 month period which exceeds 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary Shares it had on issue at the start of the 12 month period.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase its 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 by an extra 10% to 25%. The Company obtained this approval at its 2022 annual general meeting.

The issue of the 2023 Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, effectively uses up part of the Company's placement capacities under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. This reduces the Company's capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the issue of the 2023 Placement Shares.

Listing Rule 7.4 provides an exception to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. It provides that where a company in a general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A), those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.

The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 1(a) and (b) will be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1 and the 10% additional placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1A without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 1(a) is passed, 35,286,878 2023 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of

Page 9

Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 1(b) is passed, 61,213,122 2023 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 10% limit in 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 1(a) is not passed, 35,286,878 2023 Placement Shares will continue to be included in the Company's 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 35,286,878 Equity Securities for the 12 month period following the issue of those 2023 Placement Shares.

If Resolution 1(b) is not passed, 61,213,122 2023 Placement Shares will continue to be included in the Company's 10% limit under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 61,213,122 Equity Securities for the 12 month period following the issue of those 2023 Placement Shares (and assuming the Company's approval under Listing Rule 7.1A remains in force for this period).

3.3

Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the ratification of the issue of the 2023 Placement Shares:

  • (a) The 2023 Placement Shares were issued to sophisticated investors, none of whom are a related party or Material Investor of the Company. The participants in the 2023 Placement were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved the Company seeking expressions of interest to participate in the 2023 Placement from new and existing contacts of the Company.

  • (b) The 2023 Placement Shares were issued as follows:

  • (i) 35,286,878 2023 Placement Shares under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • (ii) 61,213,122 2023 Placement Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A,

without the need for Shareholder approval.

  • (c) The 2023 Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue.

  • (d) The 2023 Placement Shares were issued on 11 January 2023.

  • (e) The 2023 Placement Shares were issued at $0.016 each.

  • (f) The proceeds from the issue of the 2023 Placement Shares have been and are intended to be used to advance exploration activities and to provide additional working capital.

  • (g) There are no other material terms to the agreement for the subscription of the 2023 Placement Shares.

Page 10

  • (h) The issue of the 2023 Placement Shares did not cause the Company to breach Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (i) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

3.4

Additional information

Resolution 1(a) and (b) are ordinary resolutions.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1(a) and (b).

4. Resolution 2 – Approval of issue of Director Placement Shares

4.1

General

The background to the proposed issue of the Director Placement Shares is in Section 3.1 above.

Resolution 2(a) and (b) seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of up to 3,500,000 Director Placement Shares to certain Directors of the Company (or their respective nominees).

The following Directors as at the date the 2023 Placement was announced have committed a total of $56,000 under the 2023 Placement. The Director Placement Shares will be issued in the following proportions:

Director (or their
nominee) as at the date
the 2023 Placement was
announced
Amount committed to the
2023 Placement
Director Placement Shares
Josh Hunt $40,000 2,500,000
Bill Hobba $16,000 1,000,000

Note : In addition to the above and as announced on 23 December 2022, Alex Rovira, Managing Director, also participated in the 2023 Placement, acquiring 6,250,000 2023 Placement Shares. Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11 was not required in respect of the issue of 2023 Placement Shares to Mr Rovira as issue was subject to Exception 12 of Listing 10.12.

4.2

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 any of the following persons without the approval of its Shareholders:

  • (a) a related party (Listing Rule 10.11.1);

  • (b) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (30%+) in the company (Listing Rule 10.11.2);

Page 11

  • (c) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (10%+) 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 (Listing Rule 10.11.3);

  • (d) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3 (Listing Rule 10.11.4); or

  • (e) a person whose relation with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.11.1 or 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders (Listing Rule 10.11.5).

Josh Hunt and Bill Hobba are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors at the time the 2023 Placement was announced. Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 is therefore required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Board that the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.

Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Director Placement Shares as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of the Director Placement Shares to Josh Hunt and Bill Hobba (or their respective nominees) will not be included in the Company's 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.

It should be noted that Shareholders may vote for or against each of Resolution 2(a) and 2(b) separately and that these Resolutions are not conditional or dependent upon each other.

The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 2(a) will be to allow the Company to issue the Director Placement Shares to Josh Hunt (or his respective nominees), raising $40,000 (before costs).

The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 2(b) will be to allow the Company to issue the Director Placement Shares to Bill Hobba (or his respective nominees), raising $16,000 (before costs).

If Resolution 2(a) is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Placement Shares to Josh Hunt, and will not receive the additional $40,000 committed by Josh Hunt.

If Resolution 2 (b) is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Placement Shares to Bill Hobba, and will not receive the additional $16,000 committed by Bill Hobba.

4.3 Specific 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 the proposed issue of the Director Placement Shares:

  • (a) The Director Placement Shares will be issued to Josh Hunt and Bill Hobba (or their respective nominees).

  • (b) Josh Hunt and Bill Hobba fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.1 by virtue of being Directors of the Company at the time the 2023 Placement was announced. Where the Director Placement Shares are issued to a nominee of a Director, the Listing Rule 10.11.4 will apply.

Page 12

  • (c) A maximum of 3,500,000 Director Placement Shares will be issued to Josh Hunt and Bill Hobba (or their respective nominees) in the manner and form set out in Section 4.1 above.

  • (d) The Director Placement Shares will be fully paid ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue.

  • (e) The Director Placement Shares will be issued no later than one month after the date of the Meeting.

  • (f) The Director Placement Shares are proposed to be issued at an issue price of $0.016 each, being the same price at which the 2023 Placement Shares were issued.

  • (g) A summary of the intended use of funds raised from the Director Placement Shares is in Section 3.3(f) above.

  • (h) The proposed issue of the Director Placement Shares are not intended to remunerate or incentivise Josh Hunt and Bill Hobba.

  • (i) There are no other material terms to the proposed issue of the Director Placement Shares.

  • (j) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

4.4

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

In accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, in order to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must:

  • (a) obtain Shareholder approval in the manner set out in section 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 proposed issue of the Director Placement Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit to related parties of the Company.

The Board (with Josh Hunt abstaining) considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Director Placement Shares because the Shares will be issued on the same terms as those Shares issued to non-related party participants in the 2023 Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm's length terms.

4.5 Additional information

Resolution 2(a) and (b) are ordinary resolutions.

The Board (with Josh Hunt abstaining) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2(a) and (b).

Page 13

5. Resolution 3 – Ratification of issue of 2022 Placement Shares

5.1 General

On 31 October 2022, the Company announced a capital raising of $660,000 (before costs) ( 2022 Placement ). The 2022 Placement comprised the issue of 44,000,000 Shares at $0.015 each ( 2022 Placement Shares ).

On 4 November 2022, the Company issued the 2022 Placement Shares as follows:

  • (a) 36,350,240 2022 Placement Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • (b) 7,649,760 2022 Placement Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.

Resolution 3(a) and (b) seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the 2022 Placement Shares.

5.2

Listing Rules 7.1, 7.1A and 7.4

A summary of Listing Rules 7.1, 7.1A and 7.4 is in Section 3.2 above.

The issue of the 2022 Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, effectively uses up part of the Company's placement capacities under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. This reduces the Company's capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the issue of the 2022 Placement Shares.

The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 3(a) and (b) will be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1 and the 10% additional placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1A without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 3(a) is passed, 36,350,240 2022 Placement Shares 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(b) is passed, 7,649,760 2022 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 10% limit in 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 3(a) is not passed, 36,350,240 2022 Placement Shares will continue to be included in the Company's 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 36,350,240 Equity Securities for the 12 month period following the issue of those 2022 Placement Shares.

If Resolution 3(b) is not passed, 7,649,760 2022 Placement Shares will continue to be included in the Company's 10% limit under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 7,649,760 Equity Securities for the 12 month period following the issue of those 2022 Placement Shares (and assuming the Company's approval

Page 14

under Listing Rule 7.1A remains in force for this period).

5.3

  • (a) The 2022 Placement Shares were issued to sophisticated and professional investors, none of whom are a related party or Material Investor of the Company. The participants in the 2022 Placement were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved the Company seeking expressions of interest to participate in the 2022 Placement from new and existing contacts of the Company.

  • (b) The 2022 Placement Shares were issued as follows:

Additional information

Resolution 3(a) and (b) are ordinary resolutions.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3(a) and (b).

6. Resolution 4 – Approval of issue of Director Performance Rights

6.1

General

On 23 December 2022, the Company announced that Alex Rovira had been appointed as the Managing Director of the Company with effect from 12 January 2023.

Page 15

In connection with Mr Rovira’s appointment as Managing Director, the Company agreed (amongst other things), subject to the prior receipt of Shareholder approval, issue to Mr Rovira 80,000,000 Performance Rights under the Plan ( Director Performance Rights ).

The Company is in an important stage of development with significant opportunities and challenges in both the near and long-term, and the proposed issue of the Director Performance Rights aims to align the efforts and interests of Mr Rovira with those of Shareholders.

The Director Performance Rights provide an entitlement to receive fully paid ordinary Shares in the Company on achieving vesting conditions as determined by the Board. The vesting conditions have been developed to achieve growth in the Company’s Share price and the creation of Shareholder value. In addition, the Board also believes that incentivising with Performance Rights is a prudent means of conserving the Company's available cash reserves whilst assisting in recruiting Mr Rovira in a competitive market.

The Director Performance Rights will vest and otherwise be issued on the terms and conditions described in Schedule 2.

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.14 for the issue of the Director Performance Rights to Mr Rovira (or his nominees) under the Plan.

6.2

Listing Rule 10.14

Listing Rule 10.14 provides that an entity must not permit any of the following persons to acquire Equity Securities under an employee incentive scheme without the approval of its Shareholders:

  • (a) a director of the entity (Listing Rule 10.14.1);

  • (b) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14.1 (Listing Rule 10.14.2); and

  • (c) a person whose relationship with the entity or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14.1 or 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the acquisition should be approved by Shareholders.

Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Director Performance Rights as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.14. Accordingly, the issue of the Director Performance Rights to Mr Rovira (or his nominees) will not be included in the Company's 15% annual placement capacity in Listing Rule 7.1 or the maximum permitted number of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b).

The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 4 will be to allow the Company to issue the Director Performance Rights to Mr Rovira (or his nominees) under the Plan.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Performance Rights, and the Company will have to consider alternative commercial means to incentivise Mr Rovira.

Page 16

6.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.15

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Director Performance Rights:

  • (a) The Director Performance Rights will be issued under the Plan to Mr Alex Rovira (or his nominees).

  • (b) Mr Rovira falls into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.14.1 by virtue of being a Director of the Company.

  • (c) A maximum of 80,000,000 Director Performance Rights will be issued to Mr Rovira (or his nominees).

  • (d) The current total annual remuneration package for Mr Rovira as at the date of this Notice is $250,000 (exclusive of superannuation, superannuation being currently set at 10.5% equating to $26,250). As such the total cash payable to Mr Rovira is $276,250. No other cash payments form part of the total remuneration.

  • (e) No Equity Securities have previously been issued under the Plan to Mr Rovira (or his nominees).

  • (f) The Director Performance Rights will be issued on the terms and conditions in Schedule 2.

  • (g) The Board considers that Performance Rights, rather than Shares or Options, are an appropriate form of incentive because they aim to align the remuneration of Mr Rovira with a goal of generating Shareholder wealth. Moreover, the Director Performance Rights have vesting conditions that are designed to be consistent with the Company’s strategic and business objectives.

  • (h) The Director Performance Rights have been independently valued by BDO Corporate Finance (WA) Pty Ltd and their report is included with this Notice at Schedule 3. The total value of all the Director Performance Rights is $1,500,000. Detailed information on the valuation methodologies and assumptions are contained in Schedule 3 and Shareholders should ensure they carefully review the report at Schedule 3.

  • (i) The Director Performance Rights will be issued to Mr Rovira (or his nominees) as soon as practicable following the Meeting and in any event not later than three years after the Meeting.

  • (j) The Director Performance Rights will be issued for nil cash consideration and will be provided as an incentive component to Mr Rovira’s remuneration package.

  • (k) A summary of the material terms of the Plan is in Schedule 4.

  • (l) No loan will be provided to Mr Rovira in relation to the issue of the Director Performance Rights.

  • (m) Details of any securities issued under the Plan will be published in the annual report of the Company relating to the period in which they were issued, along with a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under Listing Rule 10.14.

  • (n) Any additional persons covered by Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in an issue of securities under the Plan after the resolution is approved and who were

Page 17

not named in the Notice will not participate until approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.14.

  • (o) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

6.4

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

In accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, in order to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must:

  • (a) obtain Shareholder approval in the manner set out in section 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 proposed issue of the Director Performance Rights constitutes giving a financial benefit to a related party of the Company.

The Board (with Mr Alex Rovira abstaining) considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required because the agreement to issue the Director Performance Rights was negotiated prior to Mr Rovira’s appointment as Managing Director and otherwise at a time when the Company and Mr Rovira were dealing at arm’s length. Accordingly, the Board (with Mr Rovira abstaining) considers that the proposed issue of the Director Performance Rights falls within the exception stipulated by section 210 of the Corporations Act.

The Board as it was then constituted utilised the services of a third party advisory firm to negotiate and advise upon the Director Performance Rights and considered the remuneration packages of Managing Directors at similar ASX listed companies.

6.5 Additional information

The Board (other than Mr Alex Rovira who has a personal interest in the outcome of this Resolution) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution.

7. Resolution 5 – Approval to increase Non-Executive Directors’ Remuneration

7.1

General

Listing Rule 10.17 provides that an entity must not increase the total aggregate amount of Directors' fees payable to all of its non-executive directors without the approval of its Shareholders.

Clauses 14.7 and 14.8 of the Constitution also requires that remuneration payable to the nonexecutive directors will not exceed the sum determined by the Company in a general meeting from time to time, and the total aggregate fixed sum will be divided between the non-executive directors as the directors shall determine and, in default of agreement between them, then in equal shares.

Page 18

The maximum aggregate amount of fees payable to all of the non-executive directors is currently set at $100,000 ( Current Limit ). Resolution 5 seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 10.17 and Clause 14.8 of the Constitution to increase the total aggregate fixed sum per annum to be paid to the non-executive directors to $400,000 ( Proposed Limit ).

If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed to increase the total aggregate fixed sum per annum to be paid to the non-executive directors to $400,000.

If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed to increase the total aggregate fixed sum per annum to be paid to the non-executive directors to $400,000 and the Company will need to revise its current remuneration structure payable to its non-executive directors which will include considering the issue of equity securities to non-executive directors in lieu of cash, subject to Shareholder approval.

  • 7.2 Rationale for the increase

As previously disclosed, the Company has entered into a Scheme Implementation Deed with Kingwest Resources Limited (ASX:KWR), under which the two companies will merge by way of a court approved scheme of arrangement between Kingwest Resources Limited and its securityholders. As a result of the transaction, the number of non-executive directors will increase from two to five, meaning the Current Limit will not be sufficient to satisfy the directors’ fees payable to both the Company’s existing non-executive directors and the incoming nonexecutive directors who are proposed to join the Board following implementation of the transaction.

The Proposed Limit has been determined after reviewing other similar ASX listed companies’ fee limits payable to its non-executive directors. The Board believes that the Proposed Limit is in line with the aggregate remuneration of such companies.

The Proposed Limit does not mean that the Company must pay the entire amount approved as fees in each year, rather the Proposed Limit is requested to:

  • (a) create the capacity to allow for the appointment of additional non-executive directors, as and when determined appropriate;

  • (b) allow for overlapping tenures as part of the Board’s orderly succession planning; and

  • (c) attract and retain non-executive directors whose skills and qualifications are appropriate for the size and nature of the Company.

  • 7.3

Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.17

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.17, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed increase to the aggregate amount payable to non-executive directors:

  • (a) The Company is proposing to increase the total aggregate fixed sum per annum to be paid to the non-executive directors by $300,000.

  • (b) The maximum aggregate amount per annum to be paid to all non-executive directors is $400,000 and includes superannuation contributions made by the Company for the benefit of non-executive directors and any fees which a non-executive director agrees to sacrifice for other benefits. It does not include reimbursement of genuine out of pocket expenses, genuine 'special exertion' fees paid in accordance with the

Page 19

Constitution, or Equity Securities issued to a non-executive director under Listing Rules 10.11 or 10.14 with Shareholder approval.

  • (c) In the past three years, the Company has issued Equity Securities to the current nonexecutive directors (or their respective nominees) pursuant to Listing Rules 10.11 and 10.14 as follows:
Non-
Executive
Director
Shareholder
approval
(Listing Rule)
Equity
Securities
Number of
Securities
Date of issue
Joshua Hunt 10.11 Shares 3,150,000 18 November
2020
Tony Lau 10.11 Shares 5,172,414 1 December
2021

In addition to the above and, as a matter of completeness, the Company notes that it previously issued 29,636,727 Shares to Stone Resources (HK) Limited pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 in the past three years. The issue fell into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.1 by virtue of Yongji Duan (resigned 13 February 2023) being a director of both the Company and Stone Resources (HK) Limited.

  • (d) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

  • 7.4 Board Recommendation

Alex Rovira, being the only Director without an interest in the outcome of this Resolution, recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.

7.5

  8. ( Plan ) The Performance Rights are issued pursuant to and are subject to the Plan. In the event of conflict between a provision of these terms and conditions and the Plan, these terms and conditions prevail to the extent of that conflict.

The Tranche 5 Rights will vest subject to the Company achieving either a market capitalisation of greater than $50 million or the 20-day volume-weighted average price ( ‘VWAP’ ) of the Company’s shares exceeding $0.04 prior to the performance measurement date. For the purposes of assessment, the market capitalisation is also to be calculated using the 20 day VWAP.

  3. The Tranche 6 Rights will vest subject to the Company achieving either a market capitalisation of greater than $75 million or the 20-day VWAP of the Company’s shares exceeding $0.06 prior to the performance measurement date. For the purposes of assessment, the market capitalisation is also to be calculated using the 20 day VWAP.

On the occurrence of a change in control event, all Rights will immediately vest.

SECTION 2. VALUATION METHODOLOGY

==> picture [78 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

SECTION 2. VALUATION METHODOLOGY

2.1 Market based vesting conditions

We consider the Tranche 5 and Tranche 6 Rights to have market based vesting conditions attached. Rights with market-based vesting conditions can only be exercised following the satisfaction of the vesting conditions.

Option pricing models assume that the exercise of a right does not affect the value of the underlying asset. Under AASB 2 Share-based Payment and option valuation theory, no discount is made to the fundamental value derived from the option valuation model for unlisted rights over listed shares.

Rights with market-based vesting conditions can only be exercised following the satisfaction of the vesting conditions.

Option pricing models assume that the exercise of an option or right does not affect the value of the underlying asset.

We have valued the Tranche 5 and Tranche 6 Rights using a barrier up-and-in trinomial pricing model with a Parisian barrier adjustment. Given the vesting conditions of the Tranche 5 and Tranche 6 Rights are conditional upon the achievement of one out of the two vesting conditions outlined by the Company, being either the market capitalisation of the Company or the 20-day VWAP of the Company’s share price exceeding a relevant barrier within the performance period, we have adopted the lower of the implied barriers under each vesting condition for each tranche. The model takes into consideration that the Tranche 5 and Tranche 6 Rights will vest at any time during the performance period, given that the 20-day VWAP of the Company’s shares exceeds the relevant barriers.

2.2 Non-market based vesting conditions

We consider the Tranche 1 to Tranche 4 Rights to have non-market based vesting conditions attached.

Rights with non-market based vesting conditions can be exercised at any time following vesting up to the expiry date, and as such are more suitably valued using a Black Scholes option pricing model.

Option pricing models assume that the exercise of an option or right does not affect the value of the underlying asset.

We have assumed that the Tranche 1 to Tranche 4 Rights will vest to the holder.

Under AASB 2 Share-based Payment and option valuation theory, no discount is made to the fundamental value derived from the option valuation model for unlisted options or rights over listed shares.

SECTION 3. VALUATION

==> picture [78 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

SECTION 3. VALUATION

We have made the following assumptions in performing our valuation of the Rights:

3.1 Valuation date

The Rights are intended to be approved by shareholders, at a meeting which is yet to be held. For the purpose of our valuation, we have valued the Rights as at 12 January 2023 ( ‘Valuation Date’ ).

3.2 Value of the underlying share

We have adopted the closing share price of Brightstar as at the Valuation Date, as the underlying value of the Company’s shares. The closing share price of Brightstar as at 12 January 2023 was $0.020, which we have used as an input in our option pricing models.

3.3 Exercise price

The exercise price is the price at which the underlying ordinary shares will be issued. In the event that the vesting conditions are met for the Rights, there is no consideration payable by the holder. Therefore, we have assumed an exercise price of nil.

3.4 Performance period and the effective life of the Rights

The performance period represents the period of time over which the vesting conditions are assessed.

Tranche 1 Rights

The vesting conditions for the Tranche 1 Rights are assessed over the two-year period from the commencement date of the Director, which we have assumed to be the Valuation Date. Therefore, the Tranche 1 Rights have a total performance period of 2.00 years.

We have estimated the life of the Tranche 1 Rights for the purpose of our valuation. The minimum life of the Tranche 1 Rights is the length of any vesting period and the maximum life is based on the expiry date. We note that because the Tranche 1 Rights have a nil exercise price, we have assumed that the holder will exercise the Tranche 1 Rights as soon as they vest. Further, if an unexercised right is not converted to shares, the holder will forego the right to any dividend, should it be declared. Therefore for the purpose of our valuation, we have used the performance period, being 2.00 years as the effective life of the Tranche 1 Rights in our option pricing model.

==> picture [78 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

Tranche 2 to Tranche 6 Rights

The vesting conditions for the Tranche 2 to Tranche 6 Rights are assessed over the three-year period from the commencement date of the Director, which we have assumed to be the Valuation Date. Therefore the Tranche 2 to Tranche 6 Rights have a total performance period of 3.00 years.

We have estimated the life of the Tranche 2 to Tranche 6 Rights for the purpose of our valuation. The minimum life of the Tranche 2 to Tranche 6 Rights is the length of any vesting period and the maximum life is based on the expiry date. We note that the length of the performance period is equal to the life of the Tranche 2 to Tranche 6 Rights, therefore we have used the performance period, being 3.00 years as the effective life of the Tranche 2 to Tranche 6 Rights in our option pricing models.

3.5 Volatility

Expected volatility is a measure of the amount by which a price is expected to fluctuate during a period. The measure of volatility used in option pricing models is the annualised standard deviation of the continuously compounded rates of return on the share over a period of time.

A summary of the techniques we use that can be applied in determining volatility is set out below:

  • the square root of the mean of the squared deviations of closing prices from a sample. This can be calculated using a combination of the opening, high, low, and closing share prices each day the underlying security trades, for all days in the sample time period chosen;

  • the exponential weighted moving average model adopts the closing share price of the Company in a given time period. This model estimates a smoothing constant using the maximum likelihood method, which estimates volatility assuming that volatility is not a constant measure and is predicted to change in the future; and

  • the generalised autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity model. This model takes into account periods of time where volatility may be higher than normal and/or lower than normal, as well as the tendency for the volatility to run at its long run average level after such periods of abnormality. The model will calculate the rate at which this is likely to occur from the sample of prices thereby enabling estimates of future volatility by time to be made.

In estimating the future share price volatility of Brightstar, we considered the historical share price volatility of Brightstar and the historical volatility of companies with comparable operations to the merged entity of Brightstar and Kingswest Resources Limited (‘ Kingswest ’), given that a merger of Brightstar and Kingswest was announced on 23 December 2022. These volatilities were calculated over one, two and three year periods using data extracted from Bloomberg. For the purpose of our valuation, we have used a future estimated volatility level of 100% for the share price of Brightstar.

==> picture [78 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

3.6 Risk-free rate of interest

We have used the Australian Government bond rate as at the Valuation Date, as a proxy for the risk-free rate over the effective life of the Rights.

The 2-year Australian Government bond rate as at 12 January 2023 was 3.16%, which we have used as an input in our option pricing model for the Tranche 1 Rights.

The 3-year Australian Government bond rate as at 12 January 2023 was 3.20%, which we have used as an input in our option pricing models for the Tranche 2 to Tranche 6 Rights.

3.7 Dividend yield

Brightstar is currently unlikely to pay a dividend during the life of the Rights, therefore, we have assumed a dividend yield of nil in our option pricing models.

3.8 Vesting conditions

The Rights will vest on achievement of the following conditions:

Tranche Vesting Condition
Tranche 1
The Tranche 1 Rights will vest subject to the employee remaining in continuous employment with the Company or otherwise engaged by the
Company (or any other group member) for a period of 24 months from the commencement of performance period.
Tranche 2
The Tranche 2 Rights will vest subject to an announcement by the Company outlining the delineation of a MRE of at least 1.25Moz Au above 1.3
g/t Au.
Tranche 3
The Tranche 3 Rights will vest subject to an announcement by the Company outlining the commencement of commercial production at the
Brightstar Gold processing plant of at least 10,000oz.
Tranche 4
The Tranche 4 Rights will vest subject to an announcement by the Company outlining gold production of 100koz or greater of contained gold
metal.

==> picture [78 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

The Tranche 5 Rights will vest subject to the Company achieving either a market capitalisation of greater than $50 million or the 20-day VWAP of Tranche 5 the Company’s shares exceeding $0.040 prior to the performance measurement date. For the purposes of assessment, the market capitalisation is also to be calculated using the 20 day VWAP. The Tranche 6 Rights will vest subject to the Company achieving either a market capitalisation of greater than $75 million or the 20-day VWAP of Tranche 6 the Company’s shares exceeding $0.060 prior to the performance measurement date. For the purposes of assessment, the market capitalisation is also to be calculated using the 20 day VWAP.

Further, all Rights will vest on a change of control event.

We are not aware of any other performance hurdles that must be achieved that would otherwise potentially dilute the value of the Rights to the holder on the assumption that they may not vest.

Schedule 4 Summary of terms and conditions of Employee Securities Incentive Plan

The material terms and conditions of the Employee Securities Incentive Plan ( Plan ) are as follows:

  1. Eligibility : Participants in the Plan may be:

  2. (a) an 'eligible participant' (as that term is defined in ASIC Class Order 14/1000) in relation to the Company or an associated body corporate; and

  3. (b) has been determined by the Board to be eligible to participate in the Plan from time to time,

who is declared by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion to be eligible to receive grants of Options, Performance Rights and Shares (Securities) under the Plan ( Eligible Participant ).

  1. Invitation : The Company may, at the sole and absolute discretion of the Board, offer and issue to an Eligible Participant any (or any combination) of the different types of Securities provided under the Plan. The terms and conditions of Securities offered or granted under the Plan to each Eligible Participant will be determined by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion.

  2. Convertible Security : Each Option and/or Performance Right ( Convertible Security ) represents a right to acquire one or more Shares, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. Prior to a Convertible Security being exercised a Participant does not have any interest (legal, equitable or otherwise) in any Share the subject of the Convertible Security by virtue of holding the Convertible Security. A Participant may not sell, assign, transfer, grant a security interest over or otherwise deal with a Convertible Security that has been granted to them unless otherwise determined by the Board. A Participant must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of hedging their economic exposure to a Convertible Security that has been granted to them.

  3. Vesting of a Convertible Security : Any vesting conditions applicable to the grant of Convertible Securities will be described in the Invitation. If all the vesting conditions are satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, a vesting notice will be sent to the Participant by the Company informing them that the relevant Convertible Securities have vested. Unless and until the vesting notice is issued by the Company, the Convertible Securities will not be considered to have vested. For the avoidance of doubt, if the vesting conditions relevant to a Convertible Security are not satisfied by the due date and/or otherwise waived by the Board, that Convertible Security will lapse.

  4. Exercise of Convertible Securities and cashless exercise : To exercise a Convertible Security, the Participant must deliver a signed notice of exercise and, subject to a cashless exercise of Options (see below), pay the exercise price (if any) to or as directed by the Company, at any time following vesting of the Convertible Security (if subject to vesting conditions) and prior to the expiry date as set out in the Invitation or vesting notice.

The Board may determine in its sole and absolute discretion that a Participant will not be required to provide payment of the exercise price of Options, but that on exercise of the Options, the Company will only allot and issue or transfer that number of Plan Shares to the Participant that are equal in value to the difference between the exercise price otherwise payable in relation to the Options and the then Market Value of the Plan Shares as at the time of the exercise (with the number of Plan Shares rounded down).

Page 28

A Convertible Security may not be exercised unless and until that Convertible Security has vested in accordance with the Plan rules, or such earlier date as set out in the Plan rules.

  1. Shares : The Board may from time to time make an invitation to an Eligible Participant to acquire Shares under the Plan. The Board will determine in its sole and absolute discretion the acquisition price (if any) for each Share which may be nil. The Shares may be subject to performance hurdles and/or vesting conditions as determined by the Board.

Where Shares granted to a Participant are subject to performance hurdles and/or vesting conditions, the Participant's Shares will be subject to certain restrictions until the applicable performance hurdles and/or vesting conditions (if any) have been satisfied, waived by the Board or are deemed to have been satisfied under these Rules.

  1. Forfeiture : In respect of each offer of Securities, the Board may determine, criteria, requirements or conditions which if met (notwithstanding the satisfaction or waiver of any performance hurdles and vesting conditions) will result in the lapsing of Convertible Securities or a Participant surrendering Shares ( Forfeiture Conditions ).

Where such Forfeiture Conditions are met, unless the Board in its sole discretion determines otherwise, all unvested and vested Convertible Securities will automatically lapse and all unvested and vested Shares will automatically be surrendered.

In addition, where the Board determines that a Participant has acted fraudulently or dishonestly, or wilfully breaches his or her duties to the Group, the Board may in its discretion deem all Securities to be forfeited.

  1. Rights attaching to Shares : Any Shares allotted, issued or transferred by the Company to a Participant under the Plan (including on exercise or conversion of Convertible Securities) will rank equally with all existing Shares on and from the date of allotment, issue or transfer, including in respect of all rights and bonus issues.

  2. Disposal Restrictions : If the invitation provides that any Shares held by any Participants are subject to any restrictions as to the disposal or other dealing by a Participant for a period, the Board may implement any procedure it deems appropriate to ensure the compliance by the Participant with this restriction.

For so long as Shares held by any Participants are subject to any disposal restrictions under the Plan, the Participant must not transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of, or have a security interest granted over that Share or take any action if to do so would contravene applicable laws.

  1. Change of Control : If a change of control event occurs in relation to the Company, the Board may in its discretion determine the manner in which any or all of the Participant's Convertible Securities will be dealt with, including a manner that allows the Participant to participate in and/or benefit from any transaction arising from or in connection with the change of control event.

  2. Employee Share Trust : The Board may in its sole and absolute discretion use an employee share trust or other mechanism for the purposes of holding Securities for Participants under the Plan and delivering Shares on behalf of Participants upon exercise of Options and/or Performance Rights (as the case may be).

  3. Participation Rights : During the currency of any Convertible Securities and prior to their vesting, Participants are not entitled to participate in any new issue of Securities of the Company as a result of their holding Convertible Securities.

Page 29

  1. Leaver : Where a Participant who holds Securities becomes a leaver, Securities will automatically be forfeited by the Participant unless the Board in its absolute discretion, resolves to allow the Participant to continue to hold the Securities after the Participant becomes a leaver due to:

  2. (a) death or total and permanent disability; or

  3. (b) retirement or redundancy; or

  4. (c) the suffering of severe financial hardship; or

  5. (d) any other circumstances determined by mutual agreement of the Board and the Participant at any time (whether before or after the Invitation).

  6. Reorganisation : Subject to all applicable laws, following any variation to the issued capital of the Company arising from:

  7. (a) a reduction, subdivision or consolidation of the issued capital of the Company;

  8. (b) a reorganisation of the issued capital of the Company;

  9. (c) a distribution of assets in specie;

  10. (d) the payment of a dividend, otherwise than in the ordinary course, of an amount substantially in excess of the Company's normal distribution policy; or

  11. (e) any issue of Shares or other equity securities or instruments which convert into Shares by way of capitalisation of profits or reserves,

the number of Securities to which each Participant holds under the Plan, and the exercise price of Options (if any) held by each Participant, will be adjusted in accordance with the Listing Rules.

  1. Amendment of Plan : Subject to the following paragraph, the Listing Rules and the Company’s constitution, the Board may at any time amend any provisions of the Plan rules, including (without limitation) the terms and conditions upon which any Securities that have been granted under the Plan and determine that any amendments to the Plan rules be given retrospective effect, immediate effect or future effect.

No amendment to any provision of the Plan rules may be made if the amendment materially reduces the rights of any Participant as they existed before the date of the amendment, other than an amendment introduced primarily for the purpose of complying with legislation or to correct manifest error or mistake, amongst other things, or is agreed to in writing by the relevant Participant.
