EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.
1. BACKGROUND TO RESOLUTIONS
1.1 Placement
On 28 November 2024, the Company announced that it had received firm commitments from new and existing institutional and sophisticated investors ( Placement Participants ) to raise $17.5 million (before costs) through a two-tranche placement of 56,451,613 Shares at an issue price of $0.31 per Share ( Placement ).
Glencore International AG ( Glencore ) (or an affiliate of Glencore) agreed to subscribe for 10.7 million Shares under tranche 1 of the Placement.
The current Directors, Robert Watkins, Peter Bowler, Greg Barrett and Paul Payne, wish to participate in the Placement for an aggregate of $500,000 under tranche 2 of the Placement, subject to Shareholder approval being obtained.
On 6 December 2024, the Company completed the issue of 42,984,310 Shares under tranche 1 of the Placement ( Tranche 1 Placement Shares ), utilising its existing placement capacities under Listing Rules 7.1 (25,790,586 Shares) and 7.1A (17,193,724 Shares).
In order to complete tranche 2 of the Placement, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the issue of 13,467,303 Shares under tranche 2 of the Placement ( Tranche 2 Placement Shares ) as follows:
-
(a) Resolution 3 : the issue of 11,854,399 Tranche 2 Placement Shares to non-related party Placement Participants; and
-
(b) Resolutions 4 to 7 : the issue of 1,612,904 Tranche 2 Placement Shares to the Directors (and/or their nominees).
The Company appointed Euroz Hartleys Limited ( Euroz Hartleys ) to act as sole lead manager and bookrunner to the Placement.
1.2 Use of funds
Proceeds raised under the Placement will be used to fund the costs of the acquisition of the Trekelano tenements (including stamp duty and Estimated Rehabilitation Cost (ERC) bonds), the Greater Duchess Pre-Feasibility Study ( PFS ), including the integration of Trekelano into the PFS, exploration and resource growth drilling as well as for general working capital purposes.
For further information in respect of the Placement, refer to the Company’s ASX announcement dated 28 November 2024.
2. RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF TRANCHE 1 PLACEMENT SHARES – LISTING RULES 7.1 AND 7.1A
2.1 General
These Resolutions seek Shareholder ratification for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the 42,984,310 Tranche 1 Placement Shares under the Placement.
As set out in Section 1.1, 25,790,586 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being, the subject of Resolution 1) and 17,193,724 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A (being, the subject of Resolution 2).
2.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A
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 12 month period.
6
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%. The Company obtained this approval at its annual general meeting held on 21 November 2024.
The issue 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 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing 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 date of the issue.
2.3 Listing Rule 7.4
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 in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue.
2.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If these Resolutions are passed, the issue will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of the issue.
If these Resolutions are not passed, the issue will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of the issue.
2.5 Technical information required by Listing Rules 7.4 and 7.5
| REQUIRED INFORMATION | DETAILS |
|---|---|
| Names of persons to whom Securities were issued or the basis on which those persons were identified/selected |

| Compliance | The issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.1A. |
3. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE TRANCHE 2 PLACEMENT SHARES
3.1 General
This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the 11,854,399 Tranche 2 Placement Shares to non-related party Placement Participants under the Placement.
3.2 Listing Rule 7.1
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 2.2 above.
The proposed issue does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
3.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue. 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. Consequently, the Company will not be able to complete tranche 2 of the Placement in its entirety and raise the full $17.5 million (before costs).

4. RESOLUTIONS 4 TO 7 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE TRANCHE 2 PLACEMENT SHARES TO RELATED PARTIES
4.1 General
As set out in Section 1.1, the Directors of the Company, Robert Watkins, Peter Bowler, Greg Barrett and Paul Payne, wish to participate in tranche 2 of the Placement for an aggregate of $500,000 on the same terms as unrelated party Placement Participants ( Participation ).
The proposed allocations to each of the Directors (and/or their nominees) under the Placement are as follows:
(a) Resolution 4: Robert Watkins (and/or his nominees) for $100,000, being 322,581 Tranche 2 Placement Shares;
-
(b) Resolution 5: Peter Bowler (and/or his nominees) for $150,000, being 483,871 Tranche 2 Placement Shares;
-
(c) Resolution 6: Greg Barrett (and/or his nominees) for $150,000, being 483,871 Tranche 2 Placement Shares; and
-
(d) Resolution 7: Paul Payne (and/or his nominees) for $100,000, being 322,581 Tranche 2 Placement Shares.
Resolutions 4 to 7 seek Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of an aggregate of 1,612,904 Tranche 2 Placement Shares to the Directors (and/or their nominee(s)), under the Placement as outlined above, as a result of the Participation.
4.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that for a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
9
-
(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 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 Participation of each of the Directors (and/or their nominees) will result in the issue of Shares which constitutes giving a financial benefit and Messrs Watkins, Bowler, Barrett and Payne are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.
In respect of Resolution 4, the Directors (other than Mr Watkins 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 Participation of Mr Watkins because the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued to Mr Watkins (and/or his nominees) on the same terms as Tranche 2 Placement Shares issued to non-related party Placement Participants, and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
In respect of Resolution 5, the Directors (other than Mr Bowler 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 Participation of Mr Bowler because the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued to Mr Bowler (and/or his nominees) on the same terms as Tranche 2 Placement Shares issued to non-related party Placement Participants, and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
In respect of Resolution 6, the Directors (other than Mr Barrett 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 Participation of Mr Barrett because the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued to Mr Barrett (and/or his nominees) on the same terms as Tranche 2 Placement Shares issued to non-related party Placement Participants, and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
In respect of Resolution 7, the Directors (other than Mr Payne 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 Participation of Mr Payne because the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued to Mr Payne (and/or his nominees) on the same terms as Tranche 2 Placement Shares issued to non-related party Placement Participants, and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
4.3 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:
-
10.11.1 a related party;
-
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;
-
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;
-
10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
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.
10
The Participation of each of the Directors (and/or their nominees) falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
Resolutions 4 to 7 seek Shareholder approval for the Participation of each of the Directors (and/or their nominees) under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
4.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 4 to 7 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares under the Participation within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and will raise additional funds under the Placement which will be used in the manner set out in Section 1.2. As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolutions 4 to 7 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares under the Participation and the additional $500,000 (before costs) will not be raised under the Placement. Consequently, the Company will not be able to complete tranche 2 of the Placement in its entirety and raise the full $17.5 million (before costs).

| Categorisation under Listing Rule 10.11 |

Voting 100% of your holding: Direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. If you do not mark a box your proxy may vote or abstain as they choose (to the extent permitted by law). If you mark more than one box on an item your vote will be invalid on that item.
Voting a portion of your holding: Indicate a portion of your voting rights by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the For, Against or Abstain box or boxes. The sum of the votes cast must not exceed your voting entitlement or 100%.
Appointing a second proxy: You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you appoint two proxies you must specify the percentage of votes or number of securities for each proxy, otherwise each proxy may exercise half of the votes. When appointing a second proxy write both names and the percentage of votes or number of securities for each in Step 1 overleaf.
