EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement is intended to provide Shareholders with sufficient information to assess the merits of the Resolution contained in the Notice.
The Directors recommend that Shareholders read this Explanatory Statement in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolution.
1. BACKGROUND TO PLACEMENT
In accordance with the Company's ASX announcement of 3 May 2021, the Company intends to place a total of 27,777,778 Shares at 27 cents per Share in one tranche ("Placement Shares") to raise $7,500,000 before costs ("Placement").
At the date of the agreement to issue the securities, the Company did not have placement capacity to issue the Placement Shares. Therefore, subject to Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1, the Placement Shares will be issued to sophisticated, professional and other exempt investors who are unrelated parties.
Cannacord Genuity (Australia) Limited is the lead manager to the Placement. It will receive a total fee of 6% of the moneys raised by the Placement being a 4% capital raising fee and a 2% placement management fee.
The funds from the Placement are intended to be used to fund additional infill and extension drilling on the Caravel Copper Project, potential acquisition of land over the Bindi Deposit and Caravel Copper Project area and for general working capital.
2. RESOLUTION 1 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE PLACEMENT SHARES UNDER LISTING RULE 7.1
2.1 Background
As referred to in Section 1 above, Resolution 1 is seeking approval to the issue of the Placement Shares.
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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
The issue of the Placement Shares does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 7.1 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 at the date of the agreement to issue the securities. It therefore, and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 exception 17, requires the approval of the Company's Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
This Resolution seeks the required Shareholder approval to the issue of the Placement Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Placement Shares. In addition, the issue will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Placement Shares and the Company will not raise the sum of $7,500,000 the subject of this issue.
2.2 Listing Rule 7.3
For Shareholders to approve the issue of the Placement Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1, the following information is provided to Shareholders in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3:
-
(a) The Shares the subject of this Resolution will be issued to sophisticated, professional and other investors exempt from or outside the disclosure requirements under Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act including to Paradice Investment Management Pty. Ltd. (“Paradice”) for $7,000,000 of the $7,500,000 to be raised. Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited is the lead manager to the Placement. None of the subscribers will be a related party of the Company.
-
(b) The number of securities to issue is up to 27,777,778 Shares being:
-
(i) up to 25,925,926 Shares to Paradice, which shares represent approximately 6.9% of the share capital of the Company subsequent to the Placement; and
-
(ii) up to 1,851,852 Shares to other sophisticated, professional and exempt investors being clients of Cannacord Genuity (Australia) Limited.
-
(c) The Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares in the Company and rank equally with the Company's current issued Shares.
-
(d) The Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or a later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules).
-
(e)
-
The Shares will be issued at an issue price of 27 cents each.
-
(f) The purpose of the issue of the Shares is to raise funds by the Placement, which funds are intended to be used as set out in Section 1 above.
