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. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS
In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2020 together with the declaration of the Directors, the Directors’ report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report.
The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at www.shreeminerals.com .
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 company or the directors of 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.
The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on 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.
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 – SANJAY LOYALKA
3.1 General
The Constitution sets out the requirements for determining which Directors are to retire by rotation at an annual general meeting.

3.2 Qualifications and other material directorships
Mr Loyalka is the founder of investment advisory firm IACG Pty Ltd in Australia, which has been engaged in cross border M&A, strategic consulting as well as a mineral commodity trading business. The transactions that the firm has executed include Gujarat NRE Coke Ltd.’s Hard Coking Mine acquisition in Australia.

Mr Loyalka led the acquisition of Nifty and Mount Gordon Copper mines, successful development of the Nifty Sulphide project (a remote site, 2.5 million tpa underground mine, concentrator plant and associated infrastructure like power plant, gas spur pipeline, port handling facilities etc) and operational restructure of Mount Gordon Copper Operations.

3.3 Independence
If elected the Board does not consider Mr Loyalka will be an independent director.
3.4 Board recommendation
The Board supports the re-election of Mr Loyalka and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
4. RESOLUTION 3 – RATIFICATION OF PLACEMENT
4.1 General
On 14 August 2020, the Company issued a total of 151,500,000 Shares.
Of these 150,000,000 were at an issue price of $0.006 per Share ( Placement Shares ) to raise $900,000; and
1,500,000 were issued in consideration of services provided to the Company at an estimated equivalent price of $0.006 per share ( Vendor Placement Shares ) for a consideration of $9000.
The Company issued the Shares without prior Shareholder approval out of its ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A placement capacity.
This Resolution seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of those Shares.
4.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1, 7.1A and 7.4
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
8
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.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A enables a listed company to obtain shareholder approval at its Annual General Meeting to issue a further 10% of equity securities in a class that is listed in ASX in the 12-month period following the AGM.
The placement used the Company’s 10% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A that had been approved by Shareholders at the 2019 Annual General Meeting and the issue price was within the pricing parameters of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A and also used part of the Company’s 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 allows 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 ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or further securities pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A as approved at the 2019 Annual General Meeting.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain approval for such issues under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
4.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the Resolution:
-
(a) the Placement Shares were issued to professional and sophisticated investors who are clients of Shaw and Partners. The recipients were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved Shaw and Partners seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from non-related parties of the Company. None of the recipients are related parties of the Company;
-
(b) the Vendor Placement Shares were issued to a consultant for services rendered to the Company. The material terms of the agreement with the vendor pursuant to which the vendor is being issued securities are the following:
-
i) the Company entered into a corporate advisory agreement with Vectorex 2 Consultants, for the provision of general geological advice and assistance with evaluation of exploration programs & opportunities (Corporate Advisory Agreement);
-
ii) the Corporate Advisory Agreement was entered into on 15 June 2020 and the services were provided to the Company over the period from that date; and
-
iii) either party may terminate the agreement with immediate effect, at any time by providing 30 days’ notice in writing to the other party.
-
(c) 150,000,00 Placement Shares were issued on the following basis:
-

-
(f) the Placement Shares and Vendor Placement Shares were issued on 14 August 2020;
-
(g) the issue price was $0.006 per Placement Shares under both the issue of Shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Placement Shares;

(h) the estimated equivalent price was $0.006 per Vendor Placement Share for issue of Shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Vendor Placement Shares;
-
(i) the purpose of the issue of the Placement Shares was to raise $ 900,000 (before costs), which will be used to undertake exploration programs, new opportunities evaluation and NBR project expenses (Re-permitting and Care and Maintenance);
-
(j) the purpose of the issue of the vendor Placement Shares was for consultancy services provided to the Company.
4.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If the Resolution is passed, the issue of Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.
If the Resolution is not passed, the issue of Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
5. RESOLUTIONS 4 TO 6 – ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO DIRECTORS
5.1 Background
The Company is proposing to issue Unlisted Options to Mr Sanjay Loyalka (Executive Director), Mr Davide Bosio and Mr Amu Shah (Non-executive Directors) in order to reward their services to date, keep cash payments to a minimum and to provide incentives linked to the performance of the Company. Given the speculative nature of the Company’s activities and the small management team responsible for its running, it is considered the performance of the team and the performance and value of the Company are closely related. As such, these Options proposed to be granted will generally only be of
10
benefit if the value of the Company increases sufficiently to warrant exercising them.
These Options will have an expiry date of 30 November 2024 and an exercise price equal to 1.2 cents. The 5-day VWAP up to and including the date of this Notice is $0.00824.
5.2 Reasons shareholder approval is required
Notwithstanding the potential for the benefit being provided being seen as reasonable in the circumstances, the Board has taken the view that it is prudent to seek shareholder approval under Section 208. Section 208 of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party unless one of the exceptions to Section 208 applies or shareholders have approved the giving of that benefit to the related party.
A “financial benefit” is defined in the Corporations Act in broad terms and includes a public company, issuing securities, and buying an asset from a related party.
Section 208 of the Corporations Act provides that for a public company to give a financial benefit to a related party of that company, the public company must:
- (a) obtain the approval of members in the way set out in Section 217 and 227; and
(b) give the benefit within 15 months after the approval.
Listing Rule 10.11 requires a listed company to obtain shareholder approval by ordinary resolution prior to the issue of securities to a related party.
Furthermore, Shareholder approval of the issue of the Options under Listing Rule 10.11 means that the grant of the Options will not reduce the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
5.3 Technical Information relating to Resolutions 4 to 6 required by Listing Rule 10.13
-
a) The Options will be issued to Messrs Sanjay Loyalka, Davide Bosio and Amu Shah (or their nominees), all of whom are Directors;
-
b) The maximum number of Options to be issued to Mr Loyalka (or his nominee) is 12,500,000 Director Options;
-
c) The maximum number of Options to be issued to Mr Bosio (or his nominee) is 12,500,000 Director Options;
-
d) The maximum number of Options to be issued to Mr Shah (or his nominee) is 7,500,000 Director Options;
-
e) The Options will be issued not later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such other later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is anticipated that allotment will occur on the same date;
-
f) The Options will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Annexure A;
-
g) The Options will be issued for nil cash consideration. Accordingly, no funds will be raised from the issue of the Options. If the all of Options issued to Messrs Loyalka, Bosio and Shah are exercised, the following represents the maximum amounts which will be raised respectively:
-
Loyalka – 12,500,000 multiplied by the exercise price of 1.2 cents or $150,000.
11
-
Bosio – 12,500,000 multiplied by the exercise price of 1.2 cents or $150,000.

13
Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the Unlisted Options Issue to Directors as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Options to Mr Loyalka (or his nominee), Mr Bosio (or his nominee) and Mr Shah (or his nominee) will not be included in the use of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
5.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 4 to 6 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Options 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). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Options (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Shares will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolutions 4 to 6 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Options.
6. RESOLUTION 7 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY
6.1 General
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity may seek Shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued capital over a 12-month period after the meeting ( 10% Placement Capacity ).
The Company is an Eligible Entity as at the date of this Notice.
However, as outlined in section 6.2 below, Listing Rule 7.1A can only be utilised by a company that is an Eligible Entity on the date of the company’s annual general meeting.
In the event that on the date of the Annual General Meeting the Company:
-
(a) is included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and
-
(b) has a market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) in excess of $300,000,000,
then this Resolution will not be considered or voted on at the Meeting. A resolution to approve a 10% Placement Capacity cannot then be proposed at any Shareholders meeting held before the Company’s next annual general meeting. However, at each subsequent annual general meeting, the Company may consider whether it is an Eligible Entity and whether it will seek approval under LR7.1A for the following 12-month period.
If Shareholders approve this Resolution, the number of Equity Securities the Eligible Entity may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out in section 6.2 below).
14
The effect of this Resolution will be to allow the Company to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary securities on issue under the 10% Placement Capacity during the period up to 12 months after the Meeting, without subsequent Shareholder approval and without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity granted under Listing Rule 7.1.
This Resolution is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of this Resolution for it to be passed.
6.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A came into effect on 1 August 2012 and enables an Eligible Entity to seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to issue Equity Securities in addition to those under the Eligible Entity’s 15% annual placement capacity.
An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:
-
(a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and
-
(b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300,000,000.
As at the date of this Notice, the Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $3.6 million. However, as outlined in section 6.1 above, if the Company is not an Eligible Entity at the time of the Meeting, then this Resolution will not be considered or voted on at the Meeting.
The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(A x D) – E
Where:
-
A. is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue:
-
(i) plus, the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;
-
(ii) plus, the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the previous 12 months;
-
(iii) plus, the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid ordinary shares under the entity’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval; and
-
(iv) less the number of Shares cancelled in the previous 12 months.
15
D. is 10%.
- E. is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of holders of Ordinary Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
6.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution:
(a) Minimum Price
The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average market price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX 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; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 ASX trading days of the date in section 6.3(a)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
(b) Date of Issue
The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:
-
(i) 12 months after the date of this Meeting; and
-
(ii) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking) (after which date, an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A ceases to be valid),
(10% Placement Capacity Period).
(c) Risk of voting dilution
Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.
If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, 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 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2, on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice.
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 10% Placement Capacity.
16
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:
-
(i) the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
(ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Equity Securities on the date of issue.

| Funds raised |

*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 pro-rata 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 759,236,893 Shares on issue.
-
The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 18 August 2020.
-
The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.
-
The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity 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.
17
-
This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
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%.
-
The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Capacity, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.
(d) Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity
The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity as cash consideration in which case the Company intends to use funds raised for the payment of bank interest, salaries and wages, working capital, administration expenses and ongoing funding needs.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 upon issue of any Equity Securities.
(e) Allocation policy under the 10% Placement Capacity
The Company’s allocation policy for the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will be dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of the proposed placement(s).
The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.
The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:
-
(i) the purpose of the issue;
-
(ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;
-
(iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;
-
(v) prevailing market conditions; and
-
(vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
(f) Compliance with ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4
When the Company issues Equity Securities pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity, it must give to ASX a list of the recipients of the Equity Securities and the number of Equity Securities issued to each (not for release to the market), in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.4;
18
6.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If the Resolutions is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary securities on issue under the 10% Placement Capacity during the period up to 12 months after the Meeting, without subsequent Shareholder approval and without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity granted under Listing Rule 7.1.
If the Resolutions is not passed, the Company will not be able to issue Equity Securities (other than those using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity granted under Listing Rule 7.1), during the period up to 12 months after the Meeting, without Shareholder approval.
6.5 Voting Exclusion
A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not invited any existing Shareholder to participate in an issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

7. RESOLUTIONS 8 TO 10 – PARTICIPATION IN CAPTIAL RAISING BY DIRECTORS
7.1 General
As announced on 14 August 2020, Sanjay Loyalka, Davide Bosio and Amu Shah each wish to participate in the Placement on the same terms as unrelated participants in the Placement (the subject of Resolutions 3) (Participation).
Accordingly, Resolutions 8 to 10 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of a total of 49,999,999 Shares to Sanjay Loyalka, Davide Bosio and Amu Shah (or their respective nominees), as a result of the Participation on the terms set out below.
7.2 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 Participation will result in the issue of Shares which constitutes giving a financial benefit and Sanjay Loyalka, Davide Bosio and Amu Shah, are each related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.
Mr Loyalka declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 8 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 8 on the basis that he is to be issued Shares should Resolution 8 be passed. However, in respect of Resolutions 9 and 10, Mr Loyalka considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not
19
required in respect of the Participation because the Shares will be issued to Davide Bosio and Amu Shah (or their respective nominees) on the same terms as Shares issued to non-related party participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
Mr Bosio declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 9 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 8 on the basis that he is to be issued Shares should Resolution 9 be passed. However, in respect of Resolutions 8 and 10, Mr Bosio considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the Participation because the Shares will be issued to Sanjay Loyalka and Amu Shah (or their respective nominees) on the same terms as Shares issued to non-related party participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
Mr Shah declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 10 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 10 on the basis that he is to be issued Shares should Resolution 8 be passed. However, in respect of Resolutions 8 and 9, Mr Shah considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the Participation because the Shares will be issued to Davide Bosio and Sanjay Loyalka (or their respective nominees) on the same terms as Shares issued to non-related party participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
7.3 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 a related party under Listing Rule 10.11.1 unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The Participation 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 8 to 10 seek Shareholder approval for the Participation under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
7.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 8 to 10 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the 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 which will be used in the manner set out in Section 3.5(f) above. As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Shares in respect of the Participation (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Shares will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolutions 8 to 10 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Shares under the Participation and no further funds will be raised in respect of the Placement.
7.5 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13
