3. Resolutions 1(a) and 1(b) – Ratification of Prior Issue of Placement Shares – Listin Rules 7.1 and 7.1A g
3.1 General
Resolutions 1(a) and 1(b) seek Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of a total of up to 13,400,000 Tranche 1 Placement Shares issued under Tranche 1 of the Placement (details of the placement provided in Section 3.2 below).
3.2
Background
On 20 March 2024, the Company announced that it had received commitments for a placement to raise up to a total of $3,000,000 (before costs) ( Placement ) through the issue of up to a total of 42,857,143 Shares at an issue price of $0.07 per share ( Placement Shares ).
The Placement is being conducted in two tranches, as follows:
-
(a) Tranche 1 comprises the issue of 13,400,000 Placement Shares, as follows:
-
(i) 8,095,036 Placement Shares issued pursuant to the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1 capacity; and
-
(ii) 5,304,964 Placement Shares issued pursuant to the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1A capacity,
(collectively, the Tranche 1 Placement Shares ); and
- (b) Tranche 2 comprises the issue of 29,457,143 Placement Shares subject to receiving shareholder approval (the subject of Resolution 2) ( Tranche 2 Placement Shares ).
ARQ Capital Pty Ltd ( Lead Manager ) will act as lead manager for the Placement.
Pursuant to Resolutions 1(a) and (b), the Company is seeking Shareholder approval to ratify the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.
3.3 ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
The issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.
8
Under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolutions passed at its annual general meeting, to increase the 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 by an extra 10% to a combined 25%.
The issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares does not fit within the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 25% limit in ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.
3.4 ASX Listing Rule 7.4
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in a general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
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, Resolutions 1(a) and 1(b) seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the Tranche 1 Placement Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
3.5 Technical Information required by ASX Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 1(a) and (b) are passed, the Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 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 Resolutions 1(a) and 1(b) are not passed, the Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company's combined 25% limit in ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

5. Resolution 3 – Approval to Issue Incentive Options to Director (Mr Shannon Green)
5.1 General
Resolution 3 seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11, for the issue of a total of 1,500,000 unlisted Options (exercisable at $0.11 each and expiring on 29 January 2026) ( Incentive Options ) to Mr Shannon Green (and/or his nominee).
11
The Incentive Options are being issued to incentivise Mr Green by providing an equity-based incentive component to his remuneration package, under his executive services agreement (a summary of which is provided at Schedule 2).
5.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
For a public company, or an entity that a public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related third party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
-
(a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(b) give the benefit within 15 months of 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 issue of the Incentive Options to Mr Green (and/or his nominees) constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Green is a Related Party of the Company, by virtue of being a Director of the Company. The Directors (except for Mr Green who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Incentive Options as the financial benefit proposed to be given to Mr Green (that being the proposed issue of the Incentive Options) amounts to reasonable remuneration given to Mr Green in his capacity as Managing Director of the Company.
5.3 Technical Information required under ASX Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with issuing the Incentive Options to Mr Green. This will occur within one (1) month after the date of the meeting (or such later date as permitted by an ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Incentive Options (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11) the issue of the Incentive Options will not use up any of the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Incentive Options to Mr Green and the Company may consider alternative forms of remuneration in lieu of such issue.
5.4 ASX 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:
-
(a) a Related Party;
-
(b) 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) 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;
-

Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of up to 3,000,000 Related Party Consideration Shares to Mr Jamie Myers (and/or his nominees) at a deemed issue price of $0.07 each, which is a total value of $210,000.
A summary of the Acquisition is provided at Section 6.2 above.
Resolution 6 is subject to and conditional upon the passing of all other Acquisition Resolutions.
8.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
For a public company, or an entity that a public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related third party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
-
(a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(b) give the benefit within 15 months of 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 issue of the Related Party Consideration Shares to Mr Myers (and/or his nominees) constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Myers is a Related Party of the Company, by virtue of being a Director of the Company. The Directors (except for Mr Myers who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Related Party Consideration Shares as the financial benefit proposed to be given to Mr Myers (that being the proposed issue of the Related Party Consideration Shares) will be on the same terms as those CA Metals Consideration Shares issued to the other non-related shareholders of CA
17
Metals (that being the CA Metals Vendors), and as such, the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
8.3 Technical Information required under ASX Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with issuing the Related Party Consideration Shares to Mr Myers. This will occur within one (1) month after the date of the meeting (or such later date as permitted by an ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Related Party Consideration Shares (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11) the issue of the Related Party Consideration Shares will not use up any of the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 6 is not passed (or any of the other Acquisition Resolutions), the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Related Party Consideration Shares to Mr Myers or the Acquisition. In addition, the time, resources and costs spent in relation to the Acquisition cannot be recovered. The Company may enter into new rounds of negotiations with the parties involved in the Acquisition, and additional costs may incur.
8.4 ASX 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:
-
(a) a Related Party;
-
(b) 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) 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) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
(e) 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 of the Related Party Consideration Shares falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions under Listing Rule 10.12. Resolution 6 therefore requires shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11.
