Your Proxy instruction must be received not later than 48 hours before the commencement of the Meeting. Proxy Forms received later than this time will be invalid.

Power of Attorney

If the proxy form is signed under a power of attorney on behalf of a Shareholder, then the attorney must make sure that either the original power of attorney or a certified copy is sent with the proxy form, unless the power of attorney has already provided it to the Share Registry.

Corporate Representatives

If a representative of a corporate Shareholder or a corporate proxy will be attending the Meeting, the representative should provide the Share Registry with adequate evidence of their appointment, unless this has previously been provided to the Share Registry.

Undirected and Directed Proxies

The Company encourages all Shareholders who submit proxies to direct their proxy how to vote on each Resolution.

The Company will not disregard any votes cast on a Resolution by a person if the person is the Chair voting an undirected proxy and their appointment expressly authorises the Chair to exercise the proxy.

If you intend to appoint the Chair as your proxy, you can direct him how to vote by marking the boxes for each resolution (for example, if you wish to vote “For”, “Against” or “Abstain”), or you cannot mark any of the boxes and give the Chair your express authority to vote your undirected proxy (in which case the Chair will vote in favour of all Resolutions).

1

If you intend to appoint a Director (other than the Chair) or another member of the Key Management Personnel, or their Closely Related Parties as your proxy, you must specify how they should vote on Resolution 1 by marking the appropriate box. If you do not, your proxy will not be able to exercise your vote for Resolution 1. If the Chair is your proxy (or if they are appointed by default) but you do not direct them how to vote on a resolution (that is, you do not mark any of the boxes “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” opposite that resolution), the Chair may then vote as they see fit on that resolution.

If you mark more than one box on an item your vote will be invalid on that item.

In accordance with the Corporations Act, any directed proxies that are not voted on a poll at the meeting will automatically default to the Chair, who is required to vote proxies as directed.

It is the Chair’s intention to vote all undirected proxies in favour of all Resolutions . In exceptional circumstances, the Chair may change his/her voting intention on any Resolution. In the event this occurs, an ASX announcement will be made immediately disclosing the reasons for the change.

Asking Questions

We encourage you to submit questions in advance of the Meeting on any matter that may be relevant to the Meeting. You can do this sending your question to the Company Secretary by email to [email protected].

To allow time to collate questions and prepare answers, you must submit any questions at least 5 days before the Meeting.

Questions will be collated and, during the Meeting, the Chair of the Meeting will seek to address as many of the more frequently raised topics as possible. However, there may not be sufficient time available at the Meeting to address all topics raised. Please note that individual responses will not be sent to shareholders.

Shareholders and proxy holders will also have the ability to listen to the discussion at the Meeting and ask questions during the Meeting.

COVID-19 MEETING PROTOCOLS

The Company advises Shareholders that the Meeting will be held to comply with the Government’s recommendations in relation to gatherings of persons during the current COVID-19 situation. As at the date of this notice, Government directives and recommendations on gatherings and travel restrictions mean that some Shareholders may not be able to attend the Meeting in person. The Company therefore strongly encourages Shareholders who wish to vote on the business of the Meeting to do so by lodging a directed proxy prior to the date of Meeting as per the instructions on the Proxy Form.

Shareholders can submit any questions in advance of the Meeting by emailing them to [email protected] .

The Meeting will consider only the business detailed in the Agenda below, followed by a Company update presentation made to Shareholders.

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the General Meeting to be held at 10.30am (AWST) on 19 January 2023.

The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting.

If you are in any doubt about what to do in relation to the Resolutions contemplated in the Notice of Meeting and this Explanatory Statement, it is recommended that you seek advice from an accountant, solicitor or other professional advisor.

Full details of the business to be considered at the General Meeting are set out below.

AGENDA

1. RESOLUTION 1 – APPROVAL FOR THE ISSUE OF LI2O CONSIDERATION SHARES

1.1 General

On 16 November 2022 the Company entered into a binding Share Purchase Agreement ( LI2O Agreement ) with LI2O Pty Ltd ( LI2O ), and each of the following persons (being all the shareholders of LI2O):

  • Mr Robert Andrew Jewson;

  • Mr Peter Romeo Gianni;

  • Troca Enterprises Pty Ltd ;

  • Cornerstone Advisors Pty Ltd;

  • African Resource Consulting Pty Ltd; and

  • Mr James Rikki Elliott,

(together, the LI2O Vendors ),

in relation to the purchase by the Company of all the issued shares in LI2O, a private company which owns 100% of Mt James Lithium Project Exploration License (ELA) 52/4185, the Dragon Lithium Project ELA 09/2747 and the binding option agreement represents the acquisition of the rights, title and interest, subject to underlying royalties, in the 35 mineral claims known as the Chubb Lithium Property tenements covering 15km2 in the Val-d’Or Quebec region in Canada.

Under the terms of the LI2O Agreement, the LI2O Vendors are entitled (in their relevant proportions) to:

  • (b) upfront consideration payable upon completion under the LI2O Agreement ( Completion ), comprising:

  • (i) $C500,000 in cash; and

  • (ii) 26,091,305 Shares ( LI2O Consideration Shares ); and

  • (iii) Grant to Mining Equities Pty Ltd (and/or its nominees) a 0.5% Net Smelter Royalty over the Chubb Lithium Property, the Mt James Lithium Project ELA52/4185 and the Dragon Lithium Project ELA09/2747.

7

1.2 Listing Rule 7.1

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities 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 issue of the LI2O Consideration Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 7.2. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1

To this end, Resolution 1 seeks the required Shareholder approval of the issue of 26,091,305 LI2O Consideration Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 1 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed to completion of the LI2O Agreement and the issue of the 26,091,305 LI2O Consideration Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over 12 month period following the date of issue of the LI2O Consideration Shares.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, Company will not have sufficient capacity to issue the 26,091,305 LI2O Consideration Shares without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 as a result of which the Company will not be able to complete the acquisition of LI2O under the LI2O Agreement.

1.3 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 LI2O Completion Shares will be issued to the LI2O Vendors (and/or their nominee(s)) (in their relevant proportions), none of whom are a Related Party of the Company, a member of Key Management Personnel, a substantial holder in the Company, an adviser to the Company or an associate of any such person;

  • (b) 26,091,305 LI2O Consideration Shares will be issued (with 13,000,000 to be held in escrow until 12 months from the date of issue of the Consideration Shares);

  • (c) the LI2O Consideration Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms as the Company’s existing Shares, and will rank equally in all respects with those existing Shares;

  • (d) the LI2O Consideration Shares will be issued by no later than three (3) months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as may be approved by ASX, including such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules);

  • (e) no funds will be raised from the issue of the LI2O Consideration Shares as they will be issued as consideration for completion of the acquisition of LI2O by the Company;

  • (f) a summary of the terms of the LI2O Agreement is set out in the Schedule 2 to this Notice; and

  • (g) a voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice.

1.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 1 is passed, the issue of the 26,091,305 LI2O Consideration Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over 12 month period following the date of issue of the LI2O Consideration Shares.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Company will not be able to Complete the LI2O Agreement and therefore not acquire LI2O.

8

1.5 Directors’ recommendation

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1 as it allows the Company greater flexibility to issue further securities representing up to 15% of the total number of Shares on issue in any 12 month period pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 without Shareholder approval.

2. RESOLUTION 2 – APPROVAL FOR THE ISSUE OF CORPORATE ADVISORY SHARES TO CANACCORD GENUITY

2.1 General

In October 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with Canaccord Genuity ( Advisory Agreement ) to facilitate the LI2O Agreement.

Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement Canaccord Genuity is entitled to be issued 1,000,000 Shares ( Corporate Advisory Shares ) in consideration for corporate advisory services relating to the facilitation of the LI2O Agreement.

The issue of the Corporate Advisory Shares is subject to the passing by Shareholders of Resolution 1 of the Notice.

The Advisory Agreement contains other such terms and conditions, including representations and warranties, as are ordinarily found in agreements of its type.

2.2

Listing Rule 7.1

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is outlined at section 1.2 of this Notice.

The issue of the Corporate Advisory Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 7.2. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1

To this end, Resolution 2 seeks the required Shareholder approval of the issue of 1,000,000 Corporate Advisory Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 1 and 2 is passed, the Company has the requisite capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, the issue of up to 1,000,000 Corporate Advisory Shares which will reduce to that extent the Company’s capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for 12 months following their issue.

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 2:

  • (a) the Corporate Advisory Shares will be issued to Canaccord Genuity (and/or its nominee(s)), none of whom are a Related Party of the Company, a member of Key Management Personnel, a substantial holder in the Company, an adviser to the Company or an associate of any such person;

  • (b) up to 1,000,000 Corporate Advisory Shares are proposed to be issued to Canaccord Genuity (and/or its nominee(s) pursuant to Resolution 2;

  • (c) the Corporate Advisory Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms as the Company’s existing Shares, and will rank equally in all respects with those existing Shares;

  • (d) the Corporate Advisory Shares will be issued by no later than three (3) months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as may be approved by ASX, including such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules);

  • (e) no funds will be raised from the issue of the Corporate Advisory Shares as they will

9

be issued in consideration for services provided to the Company;

  • (f) a summary of the terms of the Advisory Agreement is set out above; and

  • (g) a voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice.

2.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

Resolution 2 is subject to the passing of Resolution 1.

If Resolutions 1 and 2 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed to issue the 1,000,000 Corporate Advisory Shares which will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over 12 month period following the date of issue of the Consideration Shares and the Corporate Advisory Shares.

If Resolution 1 is passed and Resolution 2 is not passed, the issue of the 1,000,000 Corporate Advisory Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over 12 month period following the date of issue of the Corporate Advisory Shares.

2.5 Directors’ recommendation

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2 as it allows the Company greater flexibility to issue further securities representing up to 15% of the total number of Shares on issue in any 12 month period pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 without Shareholder approval.

3. RESOLUTIONS 3 TO 5 – APPROVAL OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS TO DIRECTORS

3.1 General

The Company is proposing, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue a total of 4,400,000 Performance Rights to Directors Mr Wayne Richards, Mr Bryan Dixon and Mr Jeff Brill and/or their respective nominees) ( Related Parties ) as part of their remuneration as Managing Director, Non-Executive Chair and Non-Executive Director, respectively.

The Performance Rights are to be issued on the terms and conditions set out below and in Schedule 1.

Subject to the terms in Schedule 1, the Performance Rights will vest as follows:

  • (a) Tranche 1 : upon the Company achieving a $0.40 volume weighted average price for Shares over 20 consecutive trading days on which the Shares have been traded on ASX, within three (3) years after the date of their issue;

  • (b) Tranche 2 : upon the Company announcing an inferred iron ore resource of at least 25Mt @ +54% Fe on any project in which the Company has an interest in, within five (5) years after the date of their issue; and

  • (c) Tranche 3 : upon the Company announcing an inferred lithium resource of at least 15Mt @ +1.0% LI2O on any project in which the Company has an interest in, within five (5) years after the date of their issue.

Resolutions 3 to 5 inclusive seek Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of up to a total of 4,400,000 Performance Rights to the Related Parties, or their respective nominees.

Resolutions 3 to 5 inclusive are ordinary resolutions.

3.2 Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:

  • (i) a related party of the entity (Listing Rule 10.11.1);

  • (ii) 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 (Listing Rule 10.11.2);

  • (iii) 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 (Listing Rule 10.11.3);

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

  • (v) 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 (Listing Rule 10.11.5),

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The proposed issues of Performance Rights the subject of Resolutions 3 to 5 inclusive, to Messrs Richards, Dixon and Brill fall within Listing Rule 10.11.1 as they are each related parties of the Company in their capacity as Directors. As the proposed issues do not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 they therefore require the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

If Resolutions 3 to 5 inclusive are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Performance Rights to the Directors (and/or their respective nominee(s)) and the Directors will be remunerated accordingly.

11

If Resolutions 3 to 5 inclusive are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Performance Rights to the Directors (and/or their respective nominee(s)) and the Company may need to consider other forms of remuneration, including by the payment of cash.

3.3 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 Performance Rights:

  • (a) the Performance Rights will be issued to Messrs Richards, Dixon and Brill (and/or their respective nominees), each of whom is a Director, if Resolutions 3 to 5 inclusive are approved by Shareholders;

  • (b) each of the Directors falls into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.1, each being a related party of the Company by virtue of their being a Director. In the event that the Performance Rights are issued to nominee of the Directors, those persons will fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.4;

  • (c) the maximum number of Performance Rights to be issued to the Related Parties (or their respective nominees) is 4,400,000, in the proportions set out in section 3.1 above. The actual number of Performance Rights that vest is dependent on the achievement of the vesting conditions;

  • (d) the current total remuneration package of each Director is set out below:

Remuneration (per Bryan Dixon Wayne Jeff Brill
annum) Richards
Salary and fees1 $70,000 $290,000 $40,000
Incentive payments $50,000 Nil Nil

TOTAL

$754,125 $54,250

Notes:

  • 1 Salary and fees are exclusive of statutory superannuation.

  • 2 3,000,000 Performance Rights (on the terms and conditions set out in the company’s ASX announcement dated 10 February 2022.

  • 3 The value of Performance Rights the subject of Resolutions 3 to 5 are based on the following:

  • (i) BUR share price as at 29 November 2022 of $0.23 (ii) Tranche 1 - Expiry 3 years from grant date (iii) Tranches 2 & 3 - Expiry 5 years from grant date (iv) 88.2% Volatility based on historical BUR share price data (v) Risk free rate of 3.2%

12

(e) the Performance Rights:

  • (i) are subject to the expiry dates and the other material terms summarised in Schedule 1;

  • (ii) are being issued as a cost effective and efficient reward for the Company to appropriately incentivise the continued performance of the Directors and is considered by the Board to be consistent with the strategic goals and targets of the Company; and

  • (iii) the current value that the Company attributes to each Performance Right is $0.0285 per T1 Performance Rights, $0.23 per T2 Performance Rights and $0.23 per T3 Performance Rights, for a total of $729,900.

  • (iv) The above valuation is based on the market value of the Company’s Shares as at 29 November 2022. AASB 2 states in paragraph 19 that vesting conditions, other than market conditions, shall not be taken into account when estimating the fair value of the shares or share options at the measurement date. Instead, vesting conditions shall be taken into account by adjusting the number of equity instruments included in the measurement of the transaction amount so that, ultimately, the amount recognised for goods or services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest. On the other hand, paragraph 21 states that market conditions, such as a target share price upon which vesting (or exercisability) is conditioned, shall be taken into account when estimating the fair value of the equity instruments grant. Due to the nature of the vesting conditions and the early stage nature of the Company it is possible that the vesting conditions will not be met and thus no Performance Rights will vest. Therefore, the expense attributable to the Performance Rights and the value received by Directors from them could range between nil and the Share price when the Performance Rights are granted. This valuation is not automatically the valuation for taxation purposes.

  • (f) the Performance Rights will be issued no later than one (1) month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules);

  • (g) the Performance Rights will have an issue price of nil as they will be issued as part of each Related Party's remuneration package and no amount is payable on vesting of the Performance Rights. As such no funds will be raised through the grant of the Performance Rights or on the exercise and conversion of the Performance Rights into Shares; and

  • (h) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

3.4 Additional Information

The Board recognises that the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations states that non-executive directors should not receive performance rights as part of their remuneration. Notwithstanding this, the Board considers the issue of Performance Rights to the Directors is appropriate in the circumstances for the reasons set out below:

  • (a) If all the Performance Rights the subject of Resolutions 3 to 5 inclusive are granted and exercised, then the Company’s fully paid share capital (based on the existing

13

number of Shares and assuming no other Company securities are exercised or converted) will be diluted by 6.72%.

  • (b) The primary purpose of the grant of Performance Rights is to provide an incentive to Messrs Richards, Dixon and Brill. Given this purpose, the Directors do not consider that there is any opportunity cost or benefit foregone to the Company in granting the Performance Rights that are the subject of Resolutions 3 to 5 inclusive (other than as set out below).

  • (c) Based on its examination, the Board has concluded that the totality of Messrs Richards, Dixon and Brill’s remuneration packages, including the equity component of up to 4,400,000 Performance Rights now to be considered for approval by Shareholders, is fair and reasonable in the circumstances of the Company given its size and stage of development, market practice of other companies in the mineral exploration industry and given the necessity to attract and retain the highest calibre of skilled professionals to the Company whilst maintaining the Company’s cash reserves, and in light of Messrs Richards, Dixon and Brill’s significant management experience and knowledge of the mineral exploration industry.

  • (d) Accounting standards require that granted Performance Rights be valued and expensed. The Directors do not consider that there are any other opportunity costs to the Company or benefits forgone by the Company in respect of the proposed issue of Performance Rights pursuant to Resolutions 3 to 5 inclusive.

  • (e) The last available price of Shares quoted on ASX prior to the date of this Notice of General Meeting on 16 December 2022 was $0.215. The highest price for Shares trading on ASX over the last 12 months was $0.405 on 17 November 2022 and the lowest price in that period was $0.078 on 29 June 2022.

3.5 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits the Company from giving a financial benefit (which includes the issue of Performance Rights) to a related party of the Company unless either:

  • (a) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the nominated exceptions of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act; or

  • (b) prior Shareholder approval is obtained for the giving of the financial benefit.

For the purposes of Chapter 2E, each Director is considered to be a related party of the Company. The proposed issue of Performance Rights to Directors and/or their nominee(s) involves the provision of a financial benefit to a related party of the Company. Section 211 of the Corporations Act provides an exception to the provisions of Chapter 2E where the financial benefit is remuneration that would be reasonable given the circumstances of the Company and the related party’s circumstances. The Board has determined that proposed grant of Performance Rights to Messrs Richards, Dixon and Brill falls within the exemption contained in section 211 of the Corporations Act as reasonable remuneration.

3.6 Listing Rule 7.1

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exemptions, ASX 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.

14

The issue of Performance Rights to Messrs Richards, Dixon and Brill with Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 falls within Exception 14 to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and therefore Shareholder approval is not required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 to issue the Performance Rights to Messrs Richards, Dixon and Brill and/or their nominee(s) as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11.

Shareholders should note that the issue of securities to Messrs Richards, Dixon and Brill and/or their nominee(s) will not be included in the 15% calculation for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

3.7 Directors’ recommendations

Mr Wayne Richards declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 3 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution. The Directors (other than Mr Wayne Richards) recommend that, for the reasons set out above, Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

Mr Bryan Dixon declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 4 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution. The Directors (other than Mr Bryan Dixon) recommend that, for the reasons set out above, Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

Mr Jeff Brill declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 5 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution. The Directors (other than Mr Jeff Brill) recommend that, for the reasons set out above, Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.
