CREST Voting
Holders of Depositary Interests in CREST may transmit voting instructions by utilising the CREST voting service in accordance with the procedures described in the CREST Manual. CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed a voting service provider, should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider, who will be able to take appropriate action on their behalf.
In order for instructions made using the CREST voting service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a “ CREST Voting Instruction ”) must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear’s specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual (available via www.euroclear.com ).
To be effective, the CREST Voting Instruction must be transmitted so as to be received by the Company’s agent (3RA50) no later than 5:00 pm (UK Time) on 23 April 2025. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the CREST Voting Instruction by the CREST applications host) from which the Company’s agent is able to retrieve the CREST Voting Instruction by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST.
Holders of Depositary Interests in CREST and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should note that Euroclear does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the transmission of CREST Voting Instructions. It is the responsibility of the Depositary Interest holder concerned to take (or, if the Depositary Interest holder is a CREST personal member or sponsored member or has appointed a voting service provider, to procure that the CREST sponsor or voting service provider takes) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a CREST Voting Instruction is transmitted by means of the CREST voting service by any particular time. In this connection, Depositary Interest holders and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.

3. Resolution 1 – Ratification of issue of 2024 Placement Securities
3.1
General
On 11 December 2024, the Company announced that it had completed a placement raising approximately £350,000 (before costs) ( 2024 Placement ).
On 19 December 2024, the Company advised that substantial Shareholder, Silvercorp Metals Inc. ( Silvercorp ), exercised its participation right to participate in the 2024 Placement on equivalent terms to other subscribers in the 2024 Placement. As announced on 15 May 2023, the Company agreed to provide Silvercorp with a reasonable opportunity to participate in future equity offers in the Company on equivalent terms to other subscribers for a period of two years, provided Silvercorp’s relevant interest in the Company does not fall below 10%.
To give effect to Silvercorp’s election to participate in the 2024 Placement, the Company and Silvercorp executed a binding subscription agreement raising a further £42,855 (before costs) under the 2024 Placement ( 2024 Subscription Agreement ). A summary of the 2024 Subscription Agreement is in Section 3.2 below.
The 2024 Placement comprised the issue of:
-
(a) 98,213,951 Shares at an issue price of £0.004 each ( 2024 Placement Shares ); and
-
(b) 49,106,976 free-attaching Warrants, on the basis of one (1) Warrant for every two (2) 2024 Placement Shares subscribed for and issued ( 2024 Placement Warrants ),
in each case to unrelated parties without prior Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
The Company issued the 2024 Placement Shares and 2024 Placement Warrants (together, the 2024 Placement Securities ), as follows:
-
(a) 87,500,000 2024 Placement Shares and 43,750,000 2024 Placement Warrants on 16 December 2024; and
-
(b) 10,713,951 2024 Placement Shares and 5,356,976 2024 Placement Warrants on 20 December 2024.
Resolution 1 seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the 2024 Placement Securities.
3.2
Summary of material terms of 2024 Subscription Agreement
Pursuant to the terms of the 2024 Subscription Agreement, Silvercorp agreed to subscribe for 10,713,951 Shares at a subscription price of £0.004, together with one (1) free-attaching Warrant for every two (2) Shares subscribed for and issued.
The 2024 Subscription Agreement otherwise contains terms and conditions (including standard representations, warranties and indemnities) considered standard for an agreement of this nature.
- 3.3
Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4
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
Page 9
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 2024 Placement Securities does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as they have not yet been approved by Shareholders, effectively uses up part of the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. This reduces the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following the issue of the 2024 Placement Securities.
Listing Rule 7.4 provides an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in a general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1), those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 1 will be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1, without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 1 is passed, 147,320,927 2024 Placement Securities will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, 147,320,927 2024 Placement Securities will continue to be included in the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 147,320,927 2024 Placement Securities Equity Securities for the 12-month period following the issue of those 2024 Placement Securities.
The Company confirms that Listing Rule 7.1 was not breached at the time the 2024 Placement Securities were agreed to be issued.
3.4

4.3
Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4
A summary of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4 is in Section 3.2 above.
The issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as they have not yet been approved by Shareholders, effectively uses up part of the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. This reduces the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 2 will be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1, without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 2 is passed, 238,332,748 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.

7. Resolution 5 – Approval to issue Related Party Placement Securities
7.1
General
The Company has received commitments from related parties to participate in the 2025 Placement on the same terms as unrelated parties, as follows:
| Related Party | Amount committed to the 2025 Placement ($) |
Related Party Placement Shares |
Related Party Placement Options |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mark van Kerkwijk | $75,000 | 9,375,000 | 4,687,500 |
| Paul Dudley | $75,000* | 9,375,000 | 4,687,500 |
| Total | $150,000 | 18,750,000 | 9,375,000 |
*Note : The Company and Mr Dudley have agreed that these Related Party Shares and Related Party Options will be issued in satisfaction of $75,000 worth of accrued and unpaid fees.
Resolution 5(a) and (b) (inclusive) seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of the Related Party Placement Shares and Related Party Placement Options (together, the Related Party Placement Securities ) in the proportions set out above.
7.2
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 any of the following persons without the approval of Shareholders:
-
(a) a related party (Listing Rule 10.11.1);
-
(b) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (30%+) in the company (Listing Rule 10.11.2);
-
(c) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (10%+) 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 (Listing Rule 10.11.3);
-
(d) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3 (Listing Rule 10.11.4); or
-
(e) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.11.1 or 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders (Listing Rule 10.11.5).
Messrs van Kerkwijk and Dudley are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors. Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 is therefore required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Board (with Messrs van Kerkwijk and Dudley abstaining) that the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.
Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Related Party Placement Securities as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of these Related Party Placement Securities will not be included in the Company’s 15% placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.
Page 17
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 5(a) and (b) (inclusive) will be to allow the Company to issue the Related Party Placement Securities.
If Resolution 5(a) and (b) (inclusive) are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Related Party Placement Securities.
7.3 Specific 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 the proposed issue of the Related Party Placement Securities:
-
(a) The Related Party Placement Securities will be issued to Messrs van Kerkwijk and Dudley (or their respective nominee/s), in the proportions set out in Section 7.1.
-
(b) Messrs van Kerkwijk and Dudley fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.1. In the event the Related Party Placement Securities are issued to a nominee of Messrs van Kerkwijk and Dudley, that nominee will fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.4.
-
(c) A maximum of 28,125,000 Related Party Placement Securities will be issued to Messrs van Kerkwijk and Dudley (or their respective nominee/s), in the proportions set out in Section 7.1.
-
(d) The Related Party Placement Shares will be fully paid and rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares on issue. The Related Party Placement Options are being issued on a free-attaching basis to the Related Party Placement Shares, on the basis of one (1) Option for every two (2) Shares subscribed for and issued.
-
(e) The Related Party Placement Securities will be issued no later than one (1) month after the date of the Meeting.
-
(f) The Related Party Placement Shares will be issued at a price of $0.008 each, being the same issue price at which the Tranche 1 and 2 Placement Shares were agreed to be issued. The Related Party Placement Options will be exercisable at $0.01 each and expire 3 years from the date of issue. The Related Party Placement Options will otherwise be issued on the terms and conditions in Schedule 3. No funds will be raised by the issue of the Related Party Placement Options.
-
(g) The proceeds from the issue of the Related Party Placement Securities are intended to be used in the same manner as the proceeds from the Tranche 1 and 2 Placement Shares, as set out in Section 4.4(f) above.
-
(h) The proposed issue of the Related Party Placement Securities is not intended to remunerate or incentivise Mr van Kerkwijk. As noted above, the Company and Mr Dudley have agreed that his Related Party Placement Shares and Related Party Placement Options will be issued in satisfaction of $75,000 worth of accrued and unpaid fees.
-
(i) There are no other material terms to the proposed issue of the Related Party Placement Securities.
-
(j) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
Page 18
7.4 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
In accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, in order to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must:
-
(a) obtain Shareholder approval in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act;
-
(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 proposed issue of the Related Party Placement Securities constitutes giving a financial benefit to related parties of the Company.
The Board (with Messrs van Kerkwijk and Dudley abstaining) considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Related Party Placement Securities because the Related Party Placement Securities will be issued on the same terms as those Securities issued to non-related party participants in the 2025 Placement and, as such, the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
7.5
Additional information
Resolution 5(a) and (b) (inclusive) are each separate ordinary Resolutions and are not interconditional.
The Board (with Messrs van Kerkwijk and Dudley abstaining) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5(a) and (b) (inclusive).
