EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting to be held at 3.00pm (WST) on 29 November 2022 at Level 2, 389 Oxford Street, Mount Hawthorn, Western Australia 6016.
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.
1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS
In accordance with the requirements of the Company’s Constitution and the Corporations Act, the Company’s audited financial statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2022, together with the report of the auditor thereon will be tabled at the Meeting, and shareholders will have the opportunity of discussing the Annual Report and making comments and raising queries in relation to the Report.
Representatives from the Company’s auditors, HLB Mann Judd, will be present to take shareholders’ questions and comments about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the audit report.
The Annual Report is available on the Company’s website at www.carnavaleresources.com for you to download or read online. Alternatively, you can obtain a hard copy by contacting the Company.
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 a financial year.
A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the remuneration report at the Annual General Meeting.
2.2 Voting Consequences
A company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.
If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.
All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.
5
Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.
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 Annual General Meeting.
3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR
In accordance with the requirements of the Company’s Constitution, ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, one-third of the directors of the Company (other than the Managing Director) and those who were last re-elected more than three years ago retire from office at this annual general meeting of the Company and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election.
Mr Brans retires under this provision and, being eligible, offers himself for reelection.
Details of Mr Brans’s experience and qualifications are available in the Annual Report and on the Company’s website and are summarised briefly below:
Mr Brans has 40 years of experience in project development of treatment plants and mine developments. In his former role as Executive Director at Perseus Mining Limited, he successfully completed a Bankable Feasibility Study and completed construction of the 5.5 million tonnes per year Edikan Gold Mine in Ghana. He also completed a Feasibility Study for the Sissingue Gold Project in Cote d’Ivoire, which was ready at the time for construction.
The Board considers Mr Brans to be an independent Director. The Board has reviewed Mr Brans’s performance since his appointment to the Board and considers that their skills and experience will continue to enhance the Board’s ability to perform its role. Accordingly, the Board supports the re-election of Mr Brans and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
4. RESOLUTION 3 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE – SHARES TO WESTERN RESOURCES PTY LTD
4.1 General
In October 2022, the Company announced that it had elected to exercise its Option pursuant to the agreement to acquire 80% of the Ora Banda South Gold Project from Western Resources Pty Ltd (refer to ASX release dated 5 October 2020 for full details of the Option Agreement). The Company paid $150,000 cash and issued 15 million ordinary shares ( Western Shares ) to Western Resources Pty Ltd. Western Resources Pty Ltd agreed to a voluntary 3 month escrow on the shares issued which are due for release on 12 January 2023 and is free carried until completion of a Bankable Feasibility Study.
4.2 Listing Rule 7.1
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.
The issue of the Western Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by 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 date of issue of the Western Shares.
6
4.3 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, under Resolution 3, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Western Shares.
4.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Western Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Western Shares.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Western Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Western Shares.
4.5 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 3:
-
(a) 15,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares were issued to Western Resources Pty Ltd, who is not a related party of the Company;
-
(b) the Western Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares.
-
(c) The Western Shares were issued on 12 October 2022 pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1;
-
(d) no funds were raised from the issue of the Western Shares, as they were issued as consideration for the exercise of the Option to acquire 80% of the Ora Banda South Gold Project;
-
(e) a summary of key terms of the agreement to acquire the Kookynie Gold Project are set out in section 4.1 of this Explanatory Statement; and
-
(f) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
5. RESOLUTION 4 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE – CONSULTANT OPTIONS
5.1 General
As announced to ASX on 14 February 2022, the Company advised it had issued 21,500,000 options exercisable at $0.016 and expiring on 31 July 2023 (Consultant Options) to technical and administrative staff and consultants. In addition, Chief Executive Officer, Mr Humphrey Hale, was also issued 7,500,000 Consultant Options.
There are no other material terms to the agreement other than the issue of the 29,0000,000 Consultant Options.
The Consultant Options were issued pursuant to the Company’s existing placement capacity under ASX Listing Rules 7.1.
7
5.2 Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4
A summary of ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4 is set out in sections 4.2 and 4.3 above. By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Consultant Options.
5.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 4 is passed, the Consultant Options will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Consultant Options.
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the issue of the Consultant Options will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Consultant Options.
5.4 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 4:

-
(g) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
6. RESOLUTION 5 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY
6.1 General
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.
However, under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity may seek shareholder approval by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25% ( 7.1A Mandate ).
8
An ‘eligible entity’ means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300,000,000 or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes.
Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% placement capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 5 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 Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under 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.
6.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1A
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to Resolution 5:
- (a) Period for which the 7.1A Mandate is valid
The 7.1A Mandate will commence on the date of the Meeting and expire on the first to occur of the following:
-
(i) the date that is 12 months after the date of this Meeting;
-
(ii) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; and
-
(iii) the time and date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change in the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the main undertaking).
(b) Minimum Price
Any Equity Securities issued under the 7.1A Mandate must be in an existing quoted class of Equity Securities and be issued at a minimum price of 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
(i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the entity and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in Section 6.2(b)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
(c) Use of funds raised under the 7.1A Mandate
The purposes for which funds raised by an issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate may be used include the following:
-
exploration activities on the Company’s mineral interests;
-
assessment of any future mineral property opportunities;
-
assessment of any other investment opportunities; and
-
ongoing future working capital purposes, including corporate advisory and capital raising services.
9
(d) Risk of Economic and Voting Dilution
Any issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.
If Resolution 5 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 7.1A Mandate, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in Listing Rule 7.1A.2, on the basis of the closing market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issue as at 18 October 2022.
The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 7.1A Mandate.
| Dilution | Dilution | Dilution | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

*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 prorata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
The table above uses the following assumptions:
-
There are currently 2,733,551,728 Shares on issue.
-
The issue price set out above is the closing market price of the Shares on the ASX on 18 October 2022.
-
The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate.
-
The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
The issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.
-
The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.
-
This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under Listing Rule 7.1 unless otherwise disclosed.
-
The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.
10
- The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 7.1A mandate, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:
-
(i) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and
