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
Under changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, 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 previous 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.
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.
2.4 Proxy voting restrictions
Shareholders appointing a proxy for this Resolution should note the following:
If you appoint a member of the Key Management Personnel (other than the Chair) whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such a member as your proxy
You must direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution . Undirected proxies granted to these persons will not be voted and will not be counted in calculating the required majority if a poll is called on this Resolution.
If you appoint the Chair as your proxy (where he/she is also a member of the Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such a member).
You do not need to direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution. However, if you do not direct the Chair how to vote, you must mark the acknowledgement on the Proxy Form to expressly authorise the Chair to exercise his/her discretion in exercising your proxy even though this Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of Key Management Personnel .
If you appoint any other person as your proxy. You do not need to direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution, and you do not need to mark any further acknowledgement on the Proxy Form.

RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF ALISTAIR MUIR Clause 13.2 of the Constitution requires that at the Company's annual general meeting in every year, one-third of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not a multiple of 3, then the number nearest one-third (rounded upwards in case of doubt), shall retire from office, provided always that no Director (except a Managing Director) shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years, or until the third annual general meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting himself or herself for re-election.
The Directors to retire at an annual general meeting are those who have been longest in office since their last election, but, as between persons who became Directors on the same day, those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by drawing lots.
A Director who retires by rotation under clause 13.2 of the Constitution is eligible for re-election. The Company currently has four Directors and accordingly one must retire. Mr Alistair Muir, the director longest in office since his last election, will retire by rotation at the Annual General Meeting and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election.
Mr Muir was appointed to this role on 6 May 2013 and is considered to be an independent director by the Board.

4. RESOLUTIONS 3 TO 6 – RATIFICATION OF SHARE ISSUES
4.1 General
During the past 12 months, the Company entered into agreements with various creditors and ex-employees to issue shares in lieu of payment for amounts owed. These share issues occurred on the following dates:
-
December 2014 – 122,393,512 shares issued
-
7 May 2015 – 104,315,581 shares issued
-
21 May 2015 – 111,019,842 shares issued
-
8 September 2015 – 12,077,300 shares issued
-
The above shares were all issued at $0.0009 utilising the placement capacity available to the Company under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A
Resolutions 3 to 6 seek Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Shares.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights of conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of securities in the same class on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an eligible Company may seek the approval of the Company’s holders of its ordinary securities by special resolution passed at an annual general meeting to have an additional capacity of 10%. This approval was sought and obtained by the Company at the 2014 annual general meeting on 28 November 2014.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
By ratifying this issue under ASX Listing Rule 7.4, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% threshold set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
4.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed ratification of the shares issues:

5. RESOLUTIONS 7 TO 9 – APPROVAL OF ISSUE OF SHARES IN LIEU OF PAYMENT OF DIRECTORS’ FEES AND PROFESSIONAL FEES
5.1 Background
As announced to the market on 27 April 2015, the Directors of the Company have agreed to accept payment of amounts owed to them for Directors Fees and Professional fees in the form or shares, in order to conserve the Company’s working capital, as follows:
The amounts owed to the Directors for the period of 1 February 2014 to 31 January 2015 is as follows:
| Director | Amount owed in shares for Directors Fees/Salary |
Amount owed in shares for Professional Fees |
Total Amount owed in shares |
|---|---|---|---|
| BillOliver | $11,500.00 | Nil | $11,500.00 |
| RankoMatic | $11,550.00 | $79,632.35 | $91,182.35 |
| Alistair Muir | $74,050.15 | Nil | $74,050.15 |
7
The Company seeks shareholder approval for the issue of:
(a) up to that number of Shares, when multiplied by the issue price, will pay $11,500 to Bill Oliver in lieu of Directors’ Fees from 1 March 2014 to 31 January 2015;
-
(b) up to that number of Shares, when multiplied by the issue price, will pay $91,182.35 to Ranko Matic in lieu of Directors’ Fees and Professional Fees from 1 February 2014 to 31 January 2015;
-
(c) up to that number of Shares, when multiplied by the issue price, will pay $74,050.15 to Alistair Muir in lieu of Directors Fees and Salary from 1 March 2014 to 31 January 2015;
Therefore, the Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue Shares ( Related Party Shares ), to the Directors as detailed above, who are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors of the Company (together, the Related Parties ).
- 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 and allotment of the Related Party Shares constitutes the giving a financial benefit and as described above, Mr Bill Oliver, Mr Ranko Matic and Mr Alistair Muir are all related parties of the Company.
The Directors (other than the director of which each individual resolution applies, who has a material personal interest in that Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue and allotment of Related Party Shares because the Related Party Shares being issued to each of the Directors are considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances, were negotiated on an arm’s length basis and the issue price of the Shares is a discount that is considered to be reasonable in the circumstances.
- 5.3 ASX Listing Rule 10.11
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also required shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s option, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.
It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly Shareholder approval is being sought under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue and allotment of these Related Party Shares to the Related Parties.
5.4 Shareholder Approval and technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13
Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed grant of the Related Party Options:
-
(a) the Related Parties are:
-
(i) Mr Bill Oliver, who is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director of the Company; and
-
(ii) Mr Ranko Matic, who is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director of the Company; and (iii) Mr Alistair Muir, who is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director of the Company; and
-
(b) the maximum number of Related Party Shares (being the nature of the financial benefit being provided) to be granted to the Related Parties is:
-
(i) up to that number of Shares, when multiplied by the issue price, will equal $11,500 to Bill Oliver;
-
(ii) up to that number of Shares, when multiplied by the issue price, will equal $91,182.35 to Ranko Matic;

-
(e) the Related Party Shares will be issued at $0.0009 each;
-
(f) the Related Party Shares will be issued for payment of Directors’ Fees, Salary and Professional Fees owing for the period of 1 February 2014 to 31 January 2015 and therefore, accordingly no funds will be raised;
-
(g) the Shares issued will rank equally and have the same terms and conditions of existing fully paid ordinary shares on issue.
5.5 Directors Recommendation:
The Directors, excluding Mr Oliver, recommend that members vote in favour of resolution 7. The Directors, excluding Mr Matic, recommend that members vote in favour of resolution 8. The Directors, excluding Mr Muir, recommend that members vote in favour of resolution 9.
5.6 ASX Listing Rule 7.1
Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Related Party Shares to the Related Parties as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Related Party Shares to the Related Parties will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
6. RESOLUTION 10 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT FACILITY
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 ( 10% Placement Facility ).
The Company is an Eligible Entity.
If Shareholders approve Resolution 10, the number of Equity Securities the Eligible Entity may issue under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out in section 6.1 below). The effect of Resolution 10 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 Facility during the period up to 12 months after the Meeting, without subsequent Shareholder approval and without using the Company’s 15% annual placement Facility granted under Listing Rule 7.1.
8
Resolution 10 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 Resolution 10 for it to be passed.
- 6.1 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.
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 $3,022,607 based on the amount of Shares on issue and closing price of Shares on 16 October 2015.
Any Equity Securities issued must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. The Company currently has one class of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: CLA).
The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated according to 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:
-
(A) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2; (B) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the previous 12 months;
-
(C) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid ordinary shares under the entity’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval; and
-
(D) less the number of Shares cancelled in the previous 12 months.
-
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.
6.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution 10: (a) Minimum Price The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average 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 6.2(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 Facility 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 Facility Period ).
(c) Risk of voting dilution Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue. If Resolution 10 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility, 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 Equity Securities 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 Facility.
| Number of Shares on Issue (Variable ‘A’ in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A2) |
**Dilution ** | **Dilution ** | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Issue Price (per Share) |
0.0005 50% decrease in Issue Price |
0.001 Issue Price |
0.0015 50% increase in Issue Price |
|
| 3,022,607,430 (Current Variable A) |
Shares issued – 10% voting dilution |
3,022,607,430 Shares | 3,022,607,430 Shares | 3,022,607,430 Shares |
| Funds raised | $151,130 | $302,261 | $453,391 | |
| 4,553,911,145 (50% increase in Variable A) |
Shares issued – **10% voting dilution ** |
4,553,911,145 Shares | 4,553,911,145 Shares | 4,553,911,145 Shares |
| Funds raised | $226,696 | $453,391 | $680,087 | |
| 6,045,214,860 (100% increase in Variable A) |
Shares issued – 10% voting dilution |
6,045,214,860 Shares | 6,045,214,860 Shares | 6,045,214,860 Shares |
| Funds raised | $302,261 | $604,521 | $906,782 |
*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:
9
-
There are currently 3,022,607,430 Shares on issue;
-
The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 16 October 2015.
-
The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility.
-
The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility 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 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 Facility , 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
-
(ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.
-
(d) Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Facility
The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility for the following purposes:
-
(i) as cash consideration in which case the Company intends to use funds raised for the acquisition of new resources, assets and investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition), continued exploration expenditure on the Company’s current nickel assets, general working capital; or
-
(ii) as non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new resources assets and investments including previously announced acquisitions, in such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by listing Rule 7.1A.3.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.
- (e) Allocation under the 10% Placement Facility
The Company’s allocation policy for the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility will be dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed placement(s).
The recipients of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of existing Shareholders or new investors (or both) none of whom are related parties of the Company.
-
The Company will determine the recipients at the time of issue under the 10% Placement Facility, having regard to the following factors:
-
(i) the purpose of the issue;
-
(ii) alternative methods of 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; and
-
(v) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
-
Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new assets or investments, it is likely that the recipients under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new assets or investments.
(f) Previous Approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 28 November 2014 ( Previous Approval ).
The Company did not issue any Equity Securities pursuant to the Previous Approval.
During the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 30 November 2014, the Company otherwise issued a total of 648,921,197 Shares which represents approximately 28.75% of the total number of Equity Securities on issue in the Company on 30 November 2014, which was 2,257,283,747.
Further details of the issues of Equity Securities by the Company during the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting are set out in Schedule A.
- (g) Compliance with ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A
When the Company issues Equity Securities pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility , it will give to ASX:
(i) a list of the allottees of the Equity Securities and the number of Equity Securities allotted to each (not for release to the market), in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.4; and
-
(ii) the information required by Listing Rule 3.10.5A for release to the market.
-
6.3 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. Therefore, no existing Shareholders will be excluded from voting on Resolution 10.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING ‘APPOINTMENT OF PROXY’ FORM
APPOINTING A PROXY
A Shareholder entitled to attend and cast a vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. The appointed proxy may be an individual or body corporate.
If a Body Corporate is appointed to act as your proxy then a representative of that Body Corporate must be appointed to act as its representative. When attending the meeting, the representative must bring a formal notice of appointment as per section 250D of the Corporations Act. Such notice must be signed as required by section 127 of the Corporations Act or the Body Corporate’s Constitution.
If a Shareholder is entitled to cast 2 or more votes at the Meeting, the Shareholder may appoint a second proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. However, where both proxies attend the Meeting, voting may only be exercised on a poll.
The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. A Shareholder who appoints 2 proxies may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a Shareholder appoints 2 proxies and the appointments do not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder’s votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes. Any fractions of votes resulting from the application of these principles will be disregarded. A duly appointed proxy need not be a Shareholder.
Note: If you wish to appoint a second proxy, you may copy this form but you must return both forms together.
VOTING ON BUSINESS OF MEETING
A Shareholder may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. The direction may specify the number of votes that the proxy may exercise by writing the number of Shares next to the box marked for the relevant item of business.
Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose subject to the relevant laws.
Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item.
