EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the General Meeting to be held at 2.30pm (WST) on 15 September 2023 at Level 2, 389 Oxford Street, Mount Hawthorn, Western Australia.
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. BACKGROUND
As announced to ASX on 13 July 2023 ( Announcement ), the Company advised it had received commitments from institutional, sophisticated and professional investors and existing Directors to subscribe for up to 690 million fully paid shares ( Shares ) at an issue price of $0.0045 per Share to raise $3,105,000 (before costs) ( Capital Raising ).
The Capital Raising comprises two tranches:
-
600 million Shares were issued on 21 July 2023 pursuant to the Company’s existing placement capacity under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 (in respect of a total of 327 million Shares) and 7.1A (in respect of a total of 273 million Shares) ( Tranche 1 ); and
-
90 million Shares to be issued to existing Directors, comprising Mr Gajewski (45 million Shares) and Mr Beckwith (45 million Shares), subject to Shareholder approval, which is being sought at this Meeting under Resolutions 4 and 5 ( Tranche 2 ).
Tranche 1 was issued on 21 July 2023 pursuant to the Company’s combined placement capacity under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. The Company is seeking Shareholder approval under Resolutions 1 and 2 for the ratification of the issue of these Shares.
The Company is also seeking Shareholder approval under Resolutions 4 and 5 for the issue of Tranche 2, for participation in the Capital Raising by two of the existing Directors, Mr Gajewski and Mr Beckwith.
In addition, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval for:
-
(i) the ratification of the issue of 67,500,000 Options at an issue price of $0.00001 to Argonaut Securities Pty Ltd (‘Argonaut’) and its nominees, the Lead Manager for the Capital Raising (refer to Resolution 3); and
-
(ii) the issue of Options to Directors, Mr Gajewski, Mr Beckwith and Mr Brans that will form part of their remuneration packages (refer to Resolutions 6, 7 and 8).
2. RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE – SHARES
2.1 Background
On 21 July 2023, the Company issued 600 million Shares at an issue price of $0.0045 per Share to raise $2.7 million. 273 million Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s 7.1A mandate which was approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 29 November 2022 (being, the subject of Resolution 1) and 327 million Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being, the subject of Resolution 2).
Argonaut acted as Lead Manager to the Capital Raising.
5
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.
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 issue of the 600 million 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 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 Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the 600 million Shares.
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, Resolutions 1 and 2 are seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the 600 million Shares.
2.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 1 and 2 are passed, the 600 million Shares 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 issue of the 600 million Shares.
If Resolutions 1 and 2 are not passed, the 600 million Shares 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 issue of the 600 million Shares.
2.5 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 1 and 2:
-
(a) 600 million Shares were issued to institutional, sophisticated and professional investors who are:
-
(i) clients of Argonaut; or
-
(ii) current strategic investors in the Company;
none of whom are related parties of the Company.
The Company advises that Troca Enterprises Pty Ltd, an entity associated with substantial shareholder, Philip Coulson, subscribed for 44,444,444 Shares in the Capital Raising.
Troca Enterprises Pty Ltd is considered a Material Investor to the Company.
6
-
(b) 600 million Shares were issued on the following basis:
-
(i) 273 million Shares issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 1); and
-
(ii) 327 million Shares issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 2);
-
(c) The 600 million Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;
-
(d) the Shares were issued on 21 July 2023;
-
(e) the issue price was $0.0045 per Share under the issue of Shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A;
-
(f) the purpose of the issue was to raise $2.7 million, which will primarily be used to fund ongoing and planned exploration programs at the Company’s existing projects and provide working capital; and
-
(g) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
3. RESOLUTION 3 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE – OPTIONS
3.1 General
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification of the issue of the Options to Argonaut (and/or its nominees), the Lead Manager for the Placement pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1. Refer to Section 1 for further details regarding the background to Resolution 3.
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.
3.2 Listing Rule 7.1
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in section 2.2 above. 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 Options does not fit within any of these exceptions. The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 so that it does not use up any of its 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
3.3 Listing Rule 7.4
A summary of Listing Rule 7.4 is set out in section 2.3 above. 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, Resolution 3 is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the 67.5 million Options.
7
3.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 3 is passed, the 67.5 million Options will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in 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 67.5 million Options.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the 67.5 million Options will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rules 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 67.5 million Options.
3.5 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) 67.5 million Options were issued to Argonaut and their nominees, who is not a related party of the Company.
-
(b) 67.5 million Options were issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1;
-
(c) 67.5 million Options were subscribed for at $0.00001 and are exercisable at $0.007 on or before 31 July 2025, in consideration for services provided by Argonaut. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Options (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Options). Further details regarding the Options are set out in Schedule 1;
-
(d) the Options were issued on 21 July 2023;
-
(e) the issue price was $0.00001 per Option;
-
(f) the purpose of the issue of the Options was to satisfy the Company’s obligations under the Lead manager mandate; and
-
(g) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
4. RESOLUTIONS 4 AND 5 – PARTICIPATION BY DIRECTORS IN CAPITAL RAISING ISSUE OF SHARES
4.1 General
Resolutions 4 and 5 are seeking Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 90 million Shares at an issue price of $0.0045 each to raise up to $405,000.
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 45 million Shares at an issue price of $0.0045 per Share to Mr Gajewski (or his nominee) arising from participation by Mr Gajewski in Tranche 2 of the Capital Raising.
Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 45 million Shares at an issue price of $0.0045 per Share to Mr Beckwith (or his nominee) arising from participation by Mr Beckwith in Tranche 2 of the Capital Raising.
Mr Gajewski’s and Mr Beckwith’s participation in the Capital Raising will be on the same terms and conditions as the other participants.
4.2 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:
-
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;
8
-
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.
Two of the existing Directors, Mr Gajewski and Mr Beckwith, wish to participate in Tranche 2 of the Capital Raising following approval of Resolutions 4 and 5. Each of these persons is a related party within the terms of the ASX Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Company must obtain Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.
Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Shares to Mr Gajewski and Mr Beckwith (or their nominees) will not be included in the use of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
4.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 4 and 5 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with Tranche 2 of the Capital Raising in the proportions set out above in Section 4.1 above.
If Resolutions 4 and 5 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Tranche 2 of the Capital Raising.
4.4 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act – Related Party Transactions
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:
-
(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 Directors’ participation in Tranche 2 of the Capital Raising will result in the issue of Shares which constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Gajewski and Mr Beckwith are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.
The terms and conditions upon which the related parties the subject of Resolutions 4 and 5 will subscribe for the Capital Raising Securities will be the same terms and conditions under which other investors have subscribed for Securities under the Capital Raising under Resolutions 1 and 2 (being $0.0045 per Share). On this basis, the Directors (other than Mr Gajewski with respect to Resolution 4 and Mr Beckwith with respect to Resolution 5, who have material personal interests in Resolutions 4 and 5 respectively) consider that the participation of the related parties could be seen to be on reasonable arms length terms (and thereby an exception to Chapter 2E) and accordingly, the Company will not also seek approval for the issue of Shares to Mr Gajewski and Mr Beckwith pursuant to section 208 of the Corporations Act.
9
4.5 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13

5. RESOLUTIONS 6, 7 AND 8 – ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO DIRECTORS
5.1 General
The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue a total of 45,000,000 Options ( Related Party Options ) to Mr R Gajewski, Mr A Beckwith and Mr R Brans (or their nominees) on the terms and conditions set out below.
Resolutions 6, 7 and 8 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the Related Party Options to Messrs Gajewski, Beckwith and Brans (or their nominees).
The Related Party Options are proposed to be issued in one tranche and will vest from the date of issue, will expire on 31 March 2025 and are exercisable at the higher of
-
(i) $0.008; or
-
(ii) a 25% premium (rounded up to the nearest 0.1 cent) to the five-day volume weighted average price ( VWAP ) on the day of issue of the Options.
The terms of the Related Party Options are set out in more detail below in Schedule 2.

5.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
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:
-
(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 issue of Related Party Options to Messrs Gajewski, Beckwith and Brans (or their nominees) constitutes giving a financial benefit and Messrs Gajewski, Beckwith and Brans are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.
The Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the grant of Related Party Options because the agreement to issue the Related Party Options, reached as part of the remuneration package for Messrs Gajewski, Beckwith and Brans, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and on terms that would be reasonable in the circumstances if the Company and the Directors were dealing at arm's length.
5.3 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.
The issue of Related Party Options 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 6, 7 and 8 seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Related Party Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
5.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 6, 7 and 8 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Related Party Options to Messrs Gajewski, Beckwith and Brans within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted
11
by any 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 Options (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Related Party Options will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolutions 6, 7 and 8 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Related Party Options.
5.5 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 6, 7 and 8:
-
(a) the Related Party Options will be issued to Messrs Gajewski, Beckwith and Brans (or their nominees), who fall within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1 as Messrs Gajewski, Beckwith and Brans are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors;
-
(b) the maximum number of Related Party Options to be issued is 45,000,000, being 20,000,000 Related Party Options to each of Messrs Gajewski and Beckwith and 5,000,000 Options to Mr Brans;
-
(c) the terms and conditions of the Related Party Options are set out in Schedule 2;
-
(d) the Related Party Options will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is intended that their issue will occur on the same date;
-
(e) the issue price of the Related Party Options will be nil. The Company will not receive any other consideration in respect of the issue of the Related Party Options (other than in respect of funds received on any future exercise of the Related Party Options);
-
(f) the purpose of the issue of the Related Party Options is to provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for Messrs Gajewski, Beckwith and Brans to motivate and reward their performance as Directors and to provide cost effective remuneration to Messrs Gajewski, Beckwith and Brans, enabling the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to Messrs Gajewski, Beckwith and Brans;
-
(g) the Related Party Options are unquoted Options. The Company has agreed to issue the Related Party Options to the Related Parties subject to Shareholder approval for the following reasons:
- (i) the Related Party Options are unquoted; therefore, the issue of the Related Party Options has no immediate dilutionary impact on Shareholders; and
-
(ii) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Related Party Options on the terms proposed.
-
(h) the number of Related Party Options to be issued to each of the Related Parties has been determined based upon a consideration of:
-
(i) current market standards and/or practices of other ASX listed companies of a similar size and stage of development to the Company;
-
(ii) the remuneration of the Related Parties; and
12
- (iii) incentives to attract and ensure continuity of service of the Related Parties who have appropriate knowledge and expertise, while maintaining the Company’s cash reserves.
The Company does not consider that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Related Party Options upon the terms proposed;
(i) the total remuneration package for each of the Related Parties for the previous financial year and the proposed total remuneration package for the current financial year (excluding the value of the Related Party Options, as set out in Schedule 3) are set out below:
| Related Party | Current Financial Year (FY 2024) |
Previous Financial Year (FY 2023) |
|---|---|---|
| Mr R Gajewski1 | $53,280 | $53,040 |
| Mr A Beckwith2 | $39,960 | $39,780 |
| Mr R Brans2 | $39,960 | $39,780 |

-
Comprising Director fees of $36,000 and superannuation of $3,780 in the previous financial year and director fees of $36,000 and superannuation of $3,960 in the current financial year.
-
(j) the value of the Related Party Options and the pricing methodology is set out in Schedule 3;

| Mr A Beckwith | 54,543,188 | 25,000,000 |
| Mr R Brans | 5,000,000 | 10,000,000 |
Notes:
-
Fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company (ASX: CAV).
-
Unlisted Options exercisable at $0.012, expiring 30/11/23.
(m) if the Related Parties were to exercise the Related Party Options, a total of 45,000,000 Shares would be issued. This would increase the number of Shares on issue from 3,378,551,728 (being the total number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice) to 3,423,551,728 (assuming that no Shares are issued and no convertible securities vest or are exercised) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of 1.33%, comprising 0.59% by Mr Gajewski, 0.59% by Mr Beckwith and 0.15% by Mr Brans.
13
The market price for Shares during the term of the Related Party Options would normally determine whether the Related Party Options are exercised. If, at any time any of the Related Party Options are exercised and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the Related Party Options, there may be a perceived cost to the Company.
(n) the trading history of the Shares on ASX in the 12 months before the date of this Notice is set out below:
| Price | Date | |
|---|---|---|
| Highest | $0.008 | 9 August 2023 |
| Lowest | $0.002 | 22 June 2023 |
| Last | $0.007 | 11 August 2023 |
(o) each Director may be considered to have a personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 6, 7 and 8 on the basis that all of the Directors (or their nominees) are to be issued Related Party Options should Resolutions 6, 7 and 8 be passed. For this reason, the Directors do not believe that it is appropriate to make a recommendation on Resolutions 6, 7 and 8 of this Notice;
- (p) the Board is not aware of any other information that is reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to decide whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolutions 6, 7 and 8; and
(q) a voting exclusion statement is included in Resolutions 6, 7 and 8 of the Notice.

19
SCHEDULE 3 - VALUATION OF RELATED PARTY OPTIONS AND PRICING METHODOLOGY
The Company does not have any ASX quoted options with identical or similar terms and conditions as the proposed Related Party Options and as such there is no comparable market value. Each Related Party Option grants the holder a right to be allotted one Share upon exercise of the Related Party Option and payment of the exercise price of the Related Party Option. Accordingly, the Related Party Options arguably have a value at the date of their grant. The Related Party Options may acquire future value dependent upon the extent to which the market value of Shares exceeds the exercise price of the Related Party Options during the term of the Related Party Options.
As a general proposition, options to subscribe for ordinary fully paid shares in a company have value. Various factors impact upon the value of options including things such as:
- a) the period outstanding before the expiry date of the options;
b) the exercise price of the options relative to the underlying price or value of the securities into which they may be converted;
c) the proportion of the issued capital as expanded consequent upon exercise represented by the shares issued upon exercise (ie whether or not the shares that might be acquired upon exercise of the options represent a controlling or other significant interest);
-
d) the value of the shares into which the options may be converted; and
-
e) whether or not the options are listed (ie readily capable of being liquidated).
There are various formulae which can be applied to determining the theoretical value of options (including the formula known as the Black-Scholes Model option valuation formula).
The Company has estimated the value of the Related Party Options using the BlackScholes Model, which is the most widely used and recognised model for pricing options. The value of an option calculated by the Black-Scholes Model is a function of the relationship between a number of variables, being the share price, the exercise price, the time to expiry, the risk-free interest rate and the volatility of the Company’s underlying share price.
Inherent in the application of the Black-Scholes Model are a number of inputs, some of which must be assumed and judgement applied. The data relied upon in applying the Black-Scholes Model in the present case were as follows:
-
a) the exercise price for the Related Party Options is the higher of $0.008 or a 25% premium to the five day VWAP on the day of issue (rounded up to the nearest 0.1 cent). Based on the VWAP of $0.0062 on 3 August 2023 the exercise price used for the purposes of the Black-Scholes Model is $0.008;
-
b) length of period prior to conversion being 18 months. For the purposes of the analysis it was assumed that the Related Party Options would not be exercised any earlier than the expiration date, being 31 March 2025;
-
c) the Company has not forecast any future dividend payments. For the purposes of the analysis, it was assumed that the Company’s share price is “ex-dividend”;
-
d) the risk free rate used for the purposes of the analysis is the Reserve Bank of Australia cash rate as at 3 August 2023 being 4.1%;
-
e) a volatility measure of 154.5%; and
-
f) the valuation of the Company’s share price being $0.0065, being the value of the Company’s share price as at 4 August 2023.
Using the Black-Scholes Model and the assumed data outlined above, the directors have valued the Related Party Options at 4 August 2023 at $0.0055 each.
20
Using this analysis ($0.0055 attributed to each Director Option), the total value of the proposed Related Party Options to be granted to each of Messrs Gajewski. Beckwith and Brans is as follows:
| ans is as follows: | |
|---|---|
| Mr Gajewski Mr Beckwith Mr Brans TOTAL |
Number of Related Party Options Total Value of Related Party Options (Volatility 154.5%) Total Value of Related Party Options (Volatility 100%) (i) 20,000,000 $110,000 $82,000 20,000,000 $110,000 $82,000 5,000,000 $27,500 $20,500 |
| 45,000,000 $247,500 $184,500 |
- (i) If a volatility factor of 100% was to be used rather than 154.5%, and all other data outlined above remains equal, the value of the Related Party Options at 4 August 2023 would fall from $0.0055 each to $0.0041 each.
