The Company is not required to provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless a Shareholder has specifically elected to receive a printed copy.

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 Directors or 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 the financial year ending 30 June 2024.
A reasonable opportunity will be provided for questions about or comments on the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.
Buxton Resources Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement
Page 10
2.2 Voting Consequences
Under the Corporations Act, if 25% or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive annual general meetings, Shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those annual general meetings on a resolution (a "Spill Resolution") that another general meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Directors (other than the Managing Director) must go up for re-election.
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 Meeting.
2.4
Proxy restrictions
If you choose to appoint a proxy, you are encouraged to direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution (Remuneration Report) by marking either "For", "Against" or "Abstain" on the Proxy Form for this Resolution.
If you appoint a member of the key management personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report (who is not the Chairman) or a closely related party of that member as your proxy, and you do not direct that person on how to vote on this Resolution, the proxy cannot exercise your vote and your vote will not be counted in relation to this Resolution.
The Chairman intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of this Resolution. If the Chairman of the Meeting is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chairman is to vote on this Resolution, by signing and returning the Proxy Form you are giving express authorisation for the Chairman to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chairman's intention.
Key management personnel of the Company are the Directors and those other persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, directly or indirectly. The Remuneration Report identifies the Company’s key management personnel for the financial year to 30 June 2024. Their closely related parties are defined in the Corporations Act, and include certain of their family members, dependants and companies they control.
3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – STUART FOGARTY
Rule 7.3 of the Constitution requires that at each annual general meeting, one-third of directors for the time being (rounded down to the nearest whole number) shall retire from office. Additionally, Listing Rule 14.4 provides that a Director must retire from office no later than the longer of the third annual general meeting of the Company or 3 years following that Director's last election or appointment. The retirement rules do not apply to the managing director.
The Board currently consists of Seamus Cornelius, Anthony Maslin and Stuart Fogarty. Seamus Cornelius intends to resign at the Annual General Meeting. As set out below, Stuart Fogarty will retire by rotation and seek re-election.
Mr Stuart Fogarty was last re-elected as a Director at the 2022 annual general meeting. He retires by rotation in accordance with the Constitution, and being eligible, offers himself for reelection as a Director.
Mr Fogarty is a Non-Executive Director of the Company. Details of the qualifications and experience of Mr Fogarty is set out in the Company's 2024 Annual Report.
The Board of the Company, with Mr Fogarty abstaining, recommends the re-election of Stuart Fogarty as a Director.
Buxton Resources Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement
Page 11
4. RESOLUTION 3 – ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – JARED JACOB
Rule 7.2(c) of the Constitution enables the Company in general meeting, by ordinary resolution, to appoint any person as a Director.
As announced on 30 May 2024, IGO Limited while it holds at least 15% of the voting power in the Company, has the right to nominate one person to be appointed as a non-executive director of the Company, subject to shareholder approval. IGO Limited currently holds 19.6% of the Company and has nominated Jared Jacob to be appointed as a non-executive director.
Given the timing of Mr Jacob’s nomination and this Meeting, it was considered prudent that Mr Jacob be appointed from the outset by Shareholders, by way of this Resolution.
Jared has 20 years of corporate development experience and joined IGO Limited in 2023 as Head of Business Development. Previously he was Head of Mergers & Acquisitions at OZ Minerals (from 2016 until BHP acquired OZ Minerals in 2023). Prior to 2016, Jared held various in-house strategy and M&A, principal investments and corporate advisory roles at UGL Limited, Deutsche Bank, Barclays Capital, Credit-Suisse and PricewaterhouseCoopers, both domestically and internationally.
Jared is a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia, a Fellow of the Governors Leadership Foundation in South Australia and his qualifications include a B.Com (Accounting & Commercial Law) from the University of Sydney and a Grad. Dip.,CA.
The Board of the Company recommends the election of Jared Jacob as a Director.
5. RESOLUTION 4 – RATIFICATION OF ISSUE OF SHARES TO ZANIL PTY LTD
5.1 Background
On each of 16 August 2024 and 20 September 2024 (" Issue Date ") the Company respectively issued 411,834 Shares and 411,085 Shares to Zanil Pty Ltd (" Issue ") using part of its Listing Rule 7.1 capacity, which represented payment in lieu of cash for earthmoving services in support of the Graphite Bull Project drilling program.
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.
The Issue does not fit within any of these exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by the Company's Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the company's capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the Issue Date. The Issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time it was made.
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company's capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.
To this end, this Resolution seeks Shareholder approval to the Issue under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
Buxton Resources Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement
Page 12
If this Resolution is passed, the Issue will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Issue Date.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Issue will be included in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Issue Date.
5.2 Listing Rule 7.5
For Shareholders to approve the Issue for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4, the following information is provided to Shareholders in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5:
-
(a) The Shares were issued to Zanil Pty Ltd, which is not a related party of the Company.
-
(b) The number of securities issued was 411,834 Shares on 16 August 2024 and 411,085 Shares on 20 September 2024.
-
(c) The Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the Company and rank equally with the Company’s current issued shares.
-
(d) The Shares were issued on 16 August 2024 and 20 September 2024.
-
(e) The Shares were issued for nil cash consideration and at a deemed issue price of 7.5 cents per Share on 16 August 2024 and a deemed issue price of 7.1 cents on 20 September 2024.
-

8. RESOLUTION 7 – APPROVAL OF ADDITIONAL 10% CAPACITY
- 8.1
Background
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.
An " eligible entity " means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and which has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes.
This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval.
If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to issue equity securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10%
Buxton Resources Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement
Page 15
capacity to issue equity securities without shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing equity securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
8.2 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
(i) Period for which approval is valid
An approval under Listing Rule 7.1A commences on the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the first to occur of the following:
-
(a) The date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained.
-
(b) The time and date of the Company's next annual general meeting.
-
(c) The time and date of the approval by Shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 or Listing Rule 11.2.
(ii) Minimum price at which equity securities may be issued
Any equity securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be in an existing quoted class of the eligible entity's equity securities and issued for a cash consideration per security which is not less than 75% of the volume weighted average market price for securities in that class, calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
(a) the date on which the price at which the securities are to be issued is agreed by the entity and the recipient of the securities; or
-
(b) if the securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (a), the date on which the securities are issued.
(iii) Purposes for which funds raised may be used
Equity securities can only be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A for a cash consideration. Funds raised by the issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A may be used for the continued development of the Company's current assets, the acquisition of new assets or other investments (including expenses associated with such acquisition), and for general working capital.
(iv) Risk of economic and voting dilution
If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, the existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted.
There is a risk that:
-
(a) the market price for the equity securities in that class may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A; and
-
(b) the equity securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those equity securities on the issue date.
The table below shows the potential dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of 3 different assumed issue prices and values for variable "A" in the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2. This includes one example that assumes that "A" is double the number of Shares

on issue at the time of the approval under Listing Rule 7.1A and that the price of Shares has fallen by 50%.

*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 has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
The current Shares on issue are the Shares on issue as at 4 October 2024.
-
The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 4 October 2024.
-
The Company issues the maximum number of equity securities available under the additional 10% capacity.
-
No Options are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the equity securities.
(v) Allocation Policy
The Company's allocation policy for the issue of equity securities under the additional 10% capacity will depend on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue. The identity of the allottees of equity securities will be determined on a case-bycase basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:
-
(a) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, a rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;
-
(b) the effect of the issue of the equity securities on the control of the Company;
-
(c) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
-
(d) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
The allottees under the additional 10% capacity have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company and may include new investors who have not previously been Shareholders.

(vi) Equity securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the previous 12 months
The Company has issued or agreed to issue a total of 6,113,023 equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months preceding this Meeting and this represents 3.67% of the total number of equity securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

Total cash consideration received and what cash has been spent and what it has been spent on and intended use of remaining cash |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 June 2024 | Institutional investors exempt from or outside the disclosure requirements under Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act |
6,113,023 Shares |
8.5 cents each representing a discount of 15% to the last closing market price prior to the date of agreement |
$519,607 was raised as part of a placement which placement funds have not been used. Funds are intended to be used to explore and drill at the Graphite Bull, Narryer, Centurion and Matrix Manganese Projects and for general working capital. |
(vii) Voting Exclusion Statement
A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice. At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the equity securities. No existing shareholder's votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.
9. RESOLUTIONS 8, 9 AND 10 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SHARES TO DIRECTORS
9.1 Background
Resolutions 8, 9 and 10 seek Shareholder approval so that the Company may issue up to a total of 410,753 Shares to Seamus Cornelius, Stuart Fogarty and Anthony Maslin or their nominees. The Shares are to be issued in satisfaction of 100% of accrued Directors’ fees for Seamus Cornelius and Stuart Fogarty and 50% of accrued Directors’ fees for Anthony Maslin for the period 1 September to 22 November 2024. In each case, the Shares will be issued at a deemed issue price of 6.1 cents each, representing the VWAP of Shares for the period from 1 September to 7 October 2024.
The issue of Shares to Stuart Fogarty is contingent on the passing of Resolution 2 (his reelection).
Buxton Resources Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement
Page 18
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:
-
(a) Listing Rule 10.11.1 - a related party;
-
(b) Listing Rule 10.11.2 - 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;
-
(c) Listing Rule 10.11.3 - 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;
-
(d) Listing Rule 10.11.4 - an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
(e) Listing Rule 10.11.5 - 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,
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The issue falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 (as each of Seamus Cornelius, Stuart Fogarty and Anthony Maslin is a Director of the Company) and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of the Company's Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
Each of Resolutions 8, 9 and 10 seek the required Shareholder approval to the issue under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
For each of Resolutions 8, 9 and 10, if the Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue.
For each of Resolutions 8, 9 and 10, if the Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue and the Company will instead pay the relevant accrued Directors’ fees in cash.
9.2 Listing Rule 10.13
For Shareholders to approve the issue of the securities under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11, the following information is provided to Shareholders in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13:
-
(a) The securities will be issued to Seamus Cornelius or his nominees (Resolution 8), Stuart Fogarty or his nominees (Resolution 9) and Anthony Maslin or his nominees (Resolution 10).
-
(b) Each of Seamus Cornelius, Stuart Fogarty and Anthony Maslin is a Director and is therefore a related party (Listing Rule 10.11.1).
-
(c) The maximum number of securities the Company will issue is 186,705 Shares to Seamus Cornelius (Resolution 8), 149,360 Shares to Stuart Fogarty (Resolution 9) and 74,688 Shares to Anthony Maslin (Resolution 10).
-
(d) The Shares are fully paid ordinary Shares in the Company and rank equally with the Company's current issued shares.
-
(e) The securities will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of this Meeting (or a later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules).
Buxton Resources Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement
Page 19
-
(f) The Shares will be issued at a deemed issue price of 6.1 cents per Share in satisfaction of 100% of accrued Directors’ fees for Seamus Cornelius and Stuart Fogarty and 50% of accrued Directors’ fees for Anthony Maslin for the period 1 September 2024 to 22 November 2024. The deemed issue price is the VWAP of Shares for the period 1 September 2024 to 7 October 2024.
-
(g) The purpose of the issue of the Shares is to pay accrued Directors’ fees for the period 1 September to 22 November by the issue of Shares rather than cash. For Seamus Cornelius and Stuart Fogarty it satisfies 100% of their accrued Directors’ fees for this period. For Anthony Maslin it satisfies 50% of his accrued Directors’ fees for this period with the other 50% being paid in cash.
-
(h) The current total remuneration package of the 3 Directors in question are Seamus Cornelius is paid $50,000 plus statutory superannuation per annum as a fee for Non-Executive Chair, while each of Stuart Fogarty and Anthony Maslin are paid $40,000 plus statutory superannuation per annum as a fee for a Non-Executive Director.
-
(i) The securities are not to be issued under a relevant agreement.
-
(j) A voting exclusion statement applies to Resolutions 8, 9 and 10.
In each case, the Directors of the Company independent of the Director in question (Seamus Cornelius, Stuart Fogarty and Anthony Maslin) have resolved that the issue of the securities the subject of the respective Resolution is on reasonable arms length terms for the Company as the Director in question will be issued with Shares at a deemed issue price at the VWAP for the period 1 September to 7 October 2024. The issue of the Shares will therefore be at a marketbased value instead of paying cash to the Director. There is no net financial benefit to the Director.
