In accordance with section 317 of the Corporations Act, Shareholders will be offered the opportunity to discuss the Annual Report, including the Financial Report, the Directors' Report and the Auditor's Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2020.
There is no requirement for Shareholders to approve the Annual Report.
At the Meeting, Shareholders will be offered the opportunity to:

-
(b) ask questions about, or comment on, the management of the Company; and

4. Resolution 1 – Remuneration Report
In accordance with subsection 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company must put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Directors' Report contains the Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and the remuneration arrangements in place for the executive Directors, specified executives and nonexecutive Directors.
In accordance with subsection 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors. If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Directors will not be required to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.
If the Company's Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more ( Strike ) at two consecutive annual general meetings, Shareholders will have the opportunity to remove the whole Board, except the managing director (if any).
Where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second annual general meeting a resolution on whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than the managing director, if any) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors' Report must stand for re-election.
Page 10
The Company's Remuneration Report did not receive a Strike at the 2019 annual general meeting. If the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at this Meeting, Shareholders should be aware that if a second Strike is received at the 2021 annual general meeting, this may result in the re-election of the Board.
The Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on the Remuneration Report.
Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.
4.1 Director Recommendations
Given the personal interests of all Directors in this Resolution, the Board makes no recommendation to Shareholders regarding this Resolution.
5. Resolution 2 – Election of Director – Garret Dixon
5.1 General
Article 7.6(a) of the Constitution allows the Board to appoint at any time a person to be a Director either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Directors, but only where the total number of Directors does not at any time exceed the maximum number specified by the Constitution.
Pursuant to article 7.6(c) of the Constitution, any Director so appointed holds office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company but is eligible for election by Shareholders at that meeting.
In addition, Listing Rule 14.4 provides that a Director appointed as an addition to the Board must not hold office (without re-election) past the next annual general meeting.
Garret Dixon was appointed as a Non-Executive Director of the Company on 21 August 2020. Accordingly, Mr Dixon resigns as a Director at the Meeting and, being eligible, seeks approval to be elected as a Director pursuant to Resolution 2.
5.2
Garret Dixon
Garret Dixon has extensive experience in the resources and mining contracting sectors in Australia and overseas. His work in both private and ASX listed companies spans more than three decades, having worked in senior executive roles for major mine owners, mine operators and contractors.
Until recently, Mr Dixon held the position of Executive VP Alcoa & President Bauxite where he was responsible for the global bauxite mining business for the NYSE listed Alcoa Corporation. His career also includes the role of Executive General Manager of civil construction and contract mining group Henry Walker Eltin Ltd and Managing Director of ASX listed Gindalbie Metals Ltd.
Mr Dixon is currently a Non-executive Director of BCI Minerals Ltd, Non-executive Chairman of Fenix Resources Ltd and Non-executive Chairman of Dynamic Drill & Blast Holdings Ltd. He has a Bachelor of Engineering, Civil (Hons) and a Master of Business Administration (MBA), and is a member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.
Mr Dixon has acknowledged to the Company that he will have sufficient time to fulfil his responsibilities as a Director.
Page 11
Mr Dixon is a member of the Audit and Risk Committee and the Remuneration Committee.
The Board considers Mr Dixon to be an independent Director.
5.3 Additional information
Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution.
If Resolution 2 is passed, Mr Dixon will be elected as a Non-Executive Director of the Company. If Resolution 2 is not passed, Mr Dixon will not be elected as a Non-Executive Director of the Company.
5.4
Director Recommendations
Mr Dixon's skills and experience are highly complementary to the existing skill set of the Board and will prove invaluable as the Company advances its exceptional discovery at Julimar towards the mining feasibility stage. Mr Dixon has a deep understanding of the mining, engineering and construction industry, as well as proven skills in commercial negotiation, corporate strategy and building high performance teams. His executive experience running Alcoa’s extensive mining operations in Western Australia, particularly as they are in close proximity to Perth and its surrounds, will help guide the Company's strategy at Julimar. Appropriate background checks were completed before Mr Dixon was appointed to the Board. For these reasons, the Board (with Mr Dixon abstaining) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
6. Resolution 3 – Ratification of prior issue of Placement Shares
6.1
General
On 14 May 2020, the Company announced that it had received binding commitments for a placement to raise up to approximately $30 million before costs ( Placement ) by the issue of Shares at $1.05 each ( Placement Shares ) to sophisticated and professional investors.
On 20 May 2020, the Company issued 28,619,046 Placement Shares to placement participants using the Company's placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 3 seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the Placement Shares.
6.2
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 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 Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has 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 that Listing Rule for the 12-month period following the issue of the Placement Shares.
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
Page 12
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 Listing Rules 7.1.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 3 is passed, the issue 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 3 is not passed, the Company's ongoing capacity to issue or agreed to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1 without obtaining prior Shareholder approval will continue to be reduced to the extent of 28,619,046 Equity Securities for the 12 month period following the issue of those Placement Shares.

6.5 Director Recommendations
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.
7. Resolution 4 – Approval to increase Non-Executive Directors' Remuneration
7.1 General
Listing Rule 10.17 provides that an entity must not increase the total aggregate amount of directors' fees payable to all of its non-executive directors without the approval of holders of its ordinary securities.
Article 7.8(a) of the Constitution also requires that remuneration payable to the non-executive Directors will not exceed the sum determined by the Company in general meeting from time to time, and the total aggregate fixed sum will be divided between the non-executive Directors as the Directors shall determine and, in default of agreement between them, then in equal shares.
The maximum aggregate amount of fees payable to all of the non-executive Directors is currently set at $450,000. This level was approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 22 November 2011. Since the 2011 annual general meeting, the aggregate amount of fees has not been increased. Resolution 4 seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 10.17 and article 7.8(a) of the Constitution to increase the total aggregate fixed sum per annum to be paid to the non-executive Directors to $650,000.
7.2 Rationale for the increase
The maximum aggregate amount of fees proposed to be paid to the non-executive Directors per annum has been determined after reviewing similar companies listed on ASX and the Directors believe that this level of remuneration is in line with corporate remuneration of similar companies. The increase reflects the Company's growth in scale and market capitalisation following its significant discovery at the Julimar Nickel-Copper-PGE Project in Western Australia.
This proposed level of permitted fees does not mean that the Company must pay the entire amount approved as fees in each year, rather the proposed limit is requested to ensure that the Company:
-
(a) maintains its capacity to remunerate both existing and any new non-executive Directors joining the Board;
-
(b) remunerates its non-executive Directors appropriately for the expectations placed upon them both by the Company and the regulatory environment in which it operates; and
-
(c) has the ability to attract and retain non-executive Directors whose skills and qualifications are appropriate for a company of the size and nature of the Company.
Page 14
7.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.17
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.17, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed increase in the aggregate amount payable to non-executive Directors:
-
(a) The Company is proposing to increase the total aggregate fixed sum per annum to be paid to the non-executive Directors by $200,000.
-
(b) The maximum aggregate amount per annum to be paid to all non-executive Directors is $650,000, and includes superannuation contributions made by the Company for the benefit of non-executive Directors and any fees which a non-executive Director agrees to sacrifice for other benefits. It does not include reimbursement of genuine out of pocket expenses, genuine 'special exertion' fees paid in accordance with the Constitution, or securities issued to a non-executive Director under Listing Rules 10.11 or 10.14 with approval of Shareholders.
-
(c) In the past three years, the Company has issued Equity Securities to non-executive Directors, or their nominees, pursuant to Listing Rules 10.11 and 10.14 as follows:
| Non-Executive Director |
Shareholder approval |
Equity Securities | Date of issue |
|---|---|---|---|
| Morgan Ball | Listing Rule 10.14: Participation in Plan |
500,000 Options1 | 28 November 2019 |
| Stephen Quin | Listing Rule 10.14: Participation in Plan |
500,000 Options1 | 28 November 2019 |
Notes :
-
Options exercisable at $0.21 each on or before 30 November 2022.
-
Mr Goyder was an Executive Director until 31 August 2020. No Equity Securities have been issued to Mr Goyder or his nominees, pursuant to Listing Rules 10.11 and 10.14 while he has been a Non-Executive Director.

Director Recommendations
Given the interest of the Directors in this Resolution, the Board makes no recommendation to Shareholders regarding this Resolution.
Page 15
8. Resolution 5 – Approval of change of Company name
8.1
General
Section 157(1)(a) of the Corporations Act provides that a company may change its name if the company passes a special resolution adopting a new name.
Resolution 5 seeks the approval of Shareholders for the Company to change its name to 'Chalice Mining Limited'.
8.2
Rationale for proposed change
The Company was incorporated as 'Chalice Gold Mines Limited' in 2006 with an initial focus on gold exploration.
The Board proposes the current change of name to 'Chalice Mining Limited' on the basis that it more accurately reflects the Company's broader minerals focus, in particular, in respect of the recent significant platinum group element (PGE), nickel, copper, cobalt discovery at the Julimar Project in Western Australia. The Company maintains its interests in other gold, nickel, copper, cobalt and PGE exploration projects.
8.3
Effect of approval of the Resolution
The proposed name has been reserved by the Company with ASIC. If Resolution 5 is passed the change of name will take effect when ASIC alters the details of the Company's registration.
8.4
Additional information
Resolution 5 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).
8.5
Director Recommendations
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.
9. Resolution 6 - Approval to issue Performance Rights to Alex Dorsch
9.1
General
The Company is proposing, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue up to 280,081 Performance Rights to the Company's Managing Director, Alex Dorsch (or his nominees).
The Company is in an important stage of development with significant opportunities and challenges in both the near and long-term, and the proposed issue seeks to align the efforts of the Directors in seeking to achieve growth of the Share price and in the creation of Shareholder value. In addition, the Board also believes that incentivising with Performance Rights is a prudent means of conserving the Company's available cash reserves. The Board believes it is important to offer these Performance Rights to continue to attract and maintain highly experienced and qualified Board members in a competitive market.
The Performance Rights are to be issued under the Company's Employee Securities Incentive Plan ( Plan ), the terms of which are summarised in Schedule 6.
Page 16
The Performance Rights are subject to vesting conditions described in Schedule 2.
Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.14 and section 208 of the Corporations Act for the issue of up to 280,081 Performance Rights under the Plan to Mr Dorsch (or his nominees).
9.2
Listing Rule 10.14
Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a listed company must not permit any of the following persons to acquire Equity Securities under an employee incentive scheme:
-
(a) a Director of the Company (Listing Rule 10.14.1);
-
(b) an associate of a Director of the Company (Listing Rule 10.14.2); or
-
(c) a person whose relationship with the Company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14.1 or 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the acquisition should be approved by its Shareholders (Listing Rule 10.14.3),
unless it obtains the approval of its Shareholders.
The proposed issue of the Performance Rights falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 (or Listing Rule 10.14.2 if Mr Dorsch elects for the Performance Rights to be granted to his nominee) and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.
Resolution 6 seeks the required Shareholder approval to the proposed issue under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14. As Shareholder approval is sought under Listing Rule 10.14, approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or 10.11 is not required.
If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Performance Rights to Mr Dorsch (or his nominees).
If Resolution 6 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Performance Rights to Mr Dorsch (or his nominees) and the Company will consider other forms of performance-based remuneration, which could include the payment of cash, subject to the requirements of the Constitution, Corporations Act and Listing Rules.
9.3
Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.15
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Performance Rights :

| Securities | Average acquisition price |
Exercise price (each) |

|---|---|---|---|
| 1,074,402 Performance Rights |
$nil | $nil | 30 June 2023 |
-
(f) The Performance Rights will be issued on the terms and conditions in Schedule 2.
-
(g) The Board considers that Performance Rights, rather than Shares, are an appropriate form of incentive because they aim to align the remuneration of Mr Dorsch with goal of generating shareholder wealth with vesting conditions that are designed to be consistent with the Company’s strategic and business objectives. Mr Dorsch will only be rewarded for the achievement of financial and non-financial business objectives over a three year period and Mr Dorsch will only obtain the value of the Performance Rights upon satisfaction of the relevant milestones.
-
(h) A valuation of the Performance Rights is in Schedule 3. In summary, the total value attributed to the Performance Rights is $357,180.
-

-
(n) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
9.4 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 section 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,
Page 18
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The grant of the Performance Rights constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Dorsch is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
The Board (with Mr Dorsch abstaining) has resolved that the issue of the Performance Rights constitutes 'reasonable remuneration' in the circumstances, and therefore falls within the scope of the exception in section 211 of the Corporations Act.
9.5 Additional information
Resolution 6 is an ordinary resolution.
9.6 Director Recommendations
The Board (other than Mr Dorsch who has a personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6.

10.1 General

10.2
Listing Rule 10.14
A summary of Listing Rule 10.14 is in Section 9.2 above.
The proposed issue of the Incentive Options falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 (or Listing Rule 10.14.2 if a Non-Executive Director elects for the Incentive Options to be granted to his nominee) and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.
Resolution 7(a) to (d) (inclusive) seeks the required Shareholder approval to the proposed issue under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14. As Shareholder approval is sought under Listing Rule 10.14, approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or 10.11 is not required.

If Resolution 7(a) to (d) (inclusive) are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Incentive Options to the Non-Executive Directors (or their respective nominees and the Company will consider other forms of remuneration, including by the payment of cash, subject to the requirements of the Constitution, Corporations Act and Listing Rules.
10.3
Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.15
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Incentive Options :
-
(a) The Incentive Options will be issued under the Plan to Messrs Goyder, Ball, Quin and Dixon (or their respective nominees), each of whom is a Non-Executive Director.
-
(b) The Non-Executive Directors are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors and fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.14.1. If the NonExecutive Directors elects for the Incentive Options to be granted to their nominees, Listing Rule 10.14.2 will apply.

-
(f) The Incentive Options will be exercisable at $2.20 each on or before 30 June 2023 and will otherwise be issued on the terms and conditions in Schedule 5.
-
(g) The Board considers that Incentive Options, rather than Shares, are an appropriate form of incentive because the Incentive Options granted will generally only be of benefit if the Non-Executive Directors performs to the level whereby the value of the Company increases sufficiently to warrant exercising the Incentive Options. The issue of the Incentive Options will therefore further align the interests of the Non-Executive Directors with Shareholders. If all Incentive Options are exercised, it would also result in a cash injection to the Company of $1,540,000 (assuming no cashless-exercise facility is utilised).
-
(h) A valuation of the Incentive Options is in Schedule 5, with a summary for each NonExecutive Director below:
| Non-Executive Director | Value of Incentive Options |

-
(n) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
10.4
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
A summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is in Section 9.4 above.
The Board considers that the issue of the Incentive Options constitutes 'reasonable remuneration' in the circumstances, and therefore falls within the scope of the exception in section 211 of the Corporations Act. However, in the interests of good corporate governance, as only Managing Director Alex Dorsch does not have a personal interest, the Company is seeking approval for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act in respect of the Incentive Options.
10.5
Information requirements for Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Pursuant to and in accordance with section 219 of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Incentive Options :
(a) Identity of the related parties to whom Resolution 7(a), to (d) (inclusive) permit financial benefits to be given
The Incentive Options will be issued to Messrs Goyder, Ball, Quin and Dixon or their respective nominees.
(b) Nature of the financial benefit
Resolution 7(a) to (d) (inclusive) seek approval from Shareholders to allow the Company to issue the Incentive Options in the amounts specified in Section 10.1 above to the Non-Executive Directors or their nominees. The Incentive Options are to be issued in accordance with the Plan and otherwise on the terms and conditions in Schedule 4.
The Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Incentive Options will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company on the same terms and conditions as the Company's existing Shares and will rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares. The Company will apply for official quotation of the Shares on ASX.
Page 22
(c) Valuation of financial benefit
A valuation of the Incentive Options is in Schedule 5, with a summary for each NonExecutive Director in Section 10.3(h) above.
(d) Remuneration of Non-Executive Directors
The total annual remuneration arrangements current for Messrs Goyder, Ball, Quin and Dixon as at the date of this Notice is set out at Section 10.3(d) above.
(e) Existing relevant interests
At the date of this Notice, the Non-Executive Directors hold the following relevant interests in Equity Securities of the Company:
| Directors | Shares | Options | Performance Rights |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tim Goyder | 37,193,198 | Nil | 1,607,045 |
| Morgan Ball | 280,000 | Nil | Nil |
| Stephen Quin | 206,321 | 200,000 | Nil |
| Garret Dixon | Nil | Nil | Nil |
Assuming that Resolution 7(a) to (d) (inclusive) are approved by Shareholders, all of the Incentive Options are issued, vest and are exercised into Shares, and no other Equity Securities are issued or exercised, the respective interests of the Non-Executive Directors in the Company would be as follows:
-
(i) Mr Goyder's interest would represent approximately 12.10% of the Company's expanded capital;
-
(ii) Mr Ball's interest would represent approximately 0.14% of the Company's expanded capital;
-
(iii) Mr Quin's interest would represent approximately 0.12% of the Company's expanded capital; and
-
(iv) Mr Dixon's interest would represent approximately 0.05% of the Company's expanded capital.
(f) Trading history
The trading history of the Shares on ASX over the previous 12 months is summarised below:
Page 23
| Measure | Price | Date |
|---|---|---|
| Highest closing price | $3.51 | 12 October 2020 |
| Lowest closing price | $0.155 | 26 November 2019 |
| Last closing price | $3.19 | 14 October 2020 (being the latest practicable date before signing this Notice) |
(g) Dilution
The issue of the Incentive Options will have a diluting effect on the percentage interest of existing Shareholders' holdings if the Incentive Options vest and are exercised. Assuming the current Share capital structure as at the latest practicable date before the date of this Notice (being 308,654,470 Shares on 14 October 2020) and that no Shares are issued other than the Shares issued on exercise of the Incentive Options, the exercise of all of the Incentive Options will result in a total dilution of all other Shareholders' holdings of 0.20% (assuming that all Incentive Options are exercised). The actual dilution will depend on the extent that additional Shares are issued by the Company.
(h) Corporate governance
The Board acknowledges the participation participates in an employee incentive scheme is contrary to Recommendation 8.2 of the 3rd and 4th editions of the ASX Corporate Governance Council's Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations. However, the Board considers the grant of Incentive Options to the Non-Executive Directors reasonable in the circumstances for the reasons set out in Section 10.1. The Board also considers that the grant does not affect the independence of the Non-Executive Directors, as there is no performance based milestone attaching to the Incentive Options.
(i) Taxation consequences
There are no taxation consequences for the Company (other than potentially an increased liability to payroll tax) arising from the issue of the Incentive Options (including fringe benefits tax).
(j)
Director recommendations
Messrs Goyder, Ball, Quin and Dixon decline to make a recommendation in relation to Resolution 7(a) to (d) (inclusive), due to their personal interest in the outcome of the Resolutions.
Alex Dorsch, being the sole Director without a personal interest in relation to Resolution 7(a) to (d) (inclusive), recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the following reasons:
- (i) through the leadership of Messrs Goyder, Ball, Quin and Dixon, they have overseen the development of the Company throughout a period of exceptional growth and advancement over the last 12 months;
Page 24
-
(ii) accordingly, the grant of the Incentive Options is a reasonable benefit to recognise the past performance by Messrs Goyder, Ball, Quin and Dixon;
-
(iii) if all the Incentive Options vest and are exercised, based on the exercise price of $2.20, the Company will receive $1.54 million (assuming the cashless exercise facility of the Plan is not used);
-
(iv) the grant of the Incentive Options will further align the interests of Messrs Goyder, Ball, Quin and Dixon with those of Shareholders to increase shareholder value;
-
(v) the issue of the Incentive Options provides Messrs Goyder, Ball, Quin and Dixon with incentives to focus on superior performance in creating shareholder value;
-
(vi) the grant of the Incentive Options is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of this benefit will allow 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 Goyder, Ball, Quin and Dixon; and
-
(vii) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in granting the Incentive Options upon the terms proposed.
-
(k) Other information
The Board is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolution 7(a) to (d) (inclusive) .
10.6 Additional information
Resolution 7(a) to (d) (inclusive) are ordinary resolutions.

4.
Vesting Conditions
The Performance Rights are subject to the achievement of the following milestones ( Milestone Conditions ) as measured on 30 June 2023:
| Overall Condition |
Specific Condition | Max Weighting of Performance Rights to vest |
|---|---|---|
| ESG and H&S objectives |
A proportional LTI payment shall be made according to the number of conditions below being met between 1 July 2020 and 30 June 2023: • Zero fatalities • Lost time injury frequency rate (LTIFR) for Company staff of <1.8 • Zero reportable environmental incidents (including spills, loss of containment, etc.) • No material breach of any Programme of Work conditions (drilling permits) • Zero community or landowner incidents resulting in the permanent loss of land access on a material private property or the immediate halting of all operations on any site • No material breach of the Company’s Code of Conduct 100% allocation if no breach 67% allocation if one breach 33% allocation if two breaches 0% allocation if more than two breaches |
15% |
| Pre-feasibility Study |
Release on the ASX a mining pre-feasibility study (PFS) on an asset (including Gonneville) which shows the potential to generate an internal rate of return (IRR) of >20% using consensus commodity prices and Board approved assumptions. |
25% |
Page 29
| Overall Condition |
Specific Condition | Max Weighting of Performance Rights to vest |
|---|---|---|
| Milestone achievements |
Generate significant value, on an existing or new asset (either operated or non-operated), through achievement of the below milestones: a) Define a new JORC Mineral Resource Estimate (for a new discovery outside of Gonneville) which shows the potential to be economic (generate an IRR >20% based on internal financial modelling using consensus commodity prices and Board approved assumptions). b) Increase an existing JORC Mineral Resource Estimate by a factor of 2x, subject to a minimum increase of 0.5Moz AuEq. c) Sell a material asset (as part of an asset sale or corporate transaction) where: i. the total deal value (including royalties retained) exceeds a threshold determined by the Board using a published mining feasibility study outcome OR consensus commodity prices and Board approved assumptions OR as determined by an Independent Expert); and ii. the deal generates a profit after-tax of at least 50% reflecting costs of acquisition and all project-to-date expenditure incurred (whether expensed or capitalised). |
|
| Achieving NONE of the above conditions | 0% | |
| Achieving ONE of the above conditions | 12.5% | |
| Achieving TWO (or more) of the above conditions For Example: Achieving both a) and/or b) on a single asset, OR achieving a) on two separate assets, would classify as this condition met. |
25% | |
| 36-month Absolute TSR measure |
A proportional LTI payment shall be made which is directly proportional to the Total Shareholder Return (TSR) from 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2023. The proportion paid is calculated as: a) 0% allocation if 3-yr TSR <30% b) Pro-rata allocation if 3-yr TSR between 30-100% c) 100% allocation if 3-yr TSR >100% If the 20-trading day VWAP until 30 June 2023 exceeds 200% of the 20-trading day VWAP until 1 July 2020, the performance measure would be deemed to have been met. The 20-day VWAP of the Company at 1 July 2020 is $0.95. If, for example, the 20-day VWAP at 30 June 2023 is $1.71 (an 80% increase in the 20-day VWAP), then 80% of this performance measure would be deemed to have been met. |
17.5% |
Page 30
| Overall Condition |
Specific Condition | Max Weighting of Performance Rights to vest |
|---|---|---|
| 36-month Relative TSR compared to peer group. |
A proportional LTI payment shall be made where the TSR exceeds the median TSR, between 1 July 2020 and 30 June 2023, of the peer group. • 0% allocation if TSR below 50thpercentile • Pro-rata allocation if TSR between 50thand 75th percentile (as detailed below) • 100% allocation if TSR above 75thpercentile If the TSR is between the 50th and 75th percentile, then for each percentile increment above 50, a multiple of 4 times that increment would have been met. For example: If the Company's TSR is at the 55th percentile, 20% of this performance measure would be deemed to have been met. The peer group comprises of: 1. Panoramic Resources Limited 2. Finders Mines Limited 3. Liontown Resources Limited 4. New Century Resources Limited 5. Emerald Resources NL 6. Rand Mining Limited 7. Atrum Coal Limited 8. Greenland Minerals Limited 9. Stavely Minerals Limited 10. Lion One Metals Limited 11. Magnetic Resources NL 12. Oklo Resources Limited |
17.5% |
Where required, the Board may, acting reasonably and in good faith, use its discretion to vary the LTI maximum weightings. For example, where a sale of an asset occurs prior to completion of a pre-feasibility study (i.e. milestone 1 is unable to be met), the Board may allocate the attributable weighting to other milestones.
- Expiry Date
Any Performance Rights that have not vested before 30 June 2024 will immediately lapse ( Expiry Date ). If this falls during a “Blackout Period” as defined in the Company’s securities trading policy, the Expiry Date will be 5pm (WST) on the date 10 Business Days after the last day of that Blackout Period.
6. Timing of issue of Shares and quotation of Shares on conversion

Page 31
-
(b) issue a substitute Certificate for any remaining unconverted Performance Rights held by the Holder;
-
(c) if required, give ASX a notice that complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act; and
-
(d) do all such acts, matters and things to obtain the grant of quotation of the Shares by ASX in accordance with the Listing Rules.
All Shares issued upon the conversion of Performance Rights will upon issue rank equally in all respects with the then issued Shares.
7.
Restrictions on transfer of Shares
If the Company is unable to give ASX a notice that complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act, Shares issued on conversion of a Performance Right may not be traded until 12 months after their issue unless the Company, at its sole discretion, elects to issue a prospectus pursuant to section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act.
Leaver
Where the Holder (or the person who is entitled to be registered as the holder) of the Performance Rights is no longer employed, or their engagement is discontinued (for whatever reason), with the Company, any unconverted and unvested Performance Rights will automatically lapse and be forfeited by the Holder, unless the Board otherwise determines in its discretion.
9.
Participation in new issues
There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Performance Rights and a holder will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to Shareholders during the currency of the Performance Rights. However, the Company will give the holder notice of the proposed issue prior to the date for determining entitlements to participate in any such issue.
10. Adjustment for bonus issues of Shares
If the Company makes a bonus issue of Shares or other securities to existing Shareholders (other than an issue in lieu or in satisfaction, of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment) no changes will be made to the Performance Rights.
11. Adjustments for reorganisation
If there is any reconstruction of the issued share capital of the Company, the rights of the Performance Rights holder may be varied to comply with the Listing Rules which apply to the reconstruction at the time of the reconstruction.
12. Quotation of Performance Rights
The Performance Rights will be unquoted Performance Rights.
13. Performance Rights non-transferable
The Performance Rights are non-transferable but may be transferrable in special circumstances as set out in the Plan.
Page 32
14. Dividend rights
A Performance Right does not entitle the Holder to any dividends.
15. Return of capital rights
The Performance Rights do not confer any right to a return of capital, whether in a winding up, upon a reduction of capital or otherwise.
16. No other rights
A Performance Right does not give a Holder any rights other than those expressly provided by these terms, the Plan and those provided at law where such rights at law cannot be excluded by these terms.
Page 33
Schedule 3 Valuation of Performance Rights
The Performance Rights to be issued to Alex Dorsch pursuant to Resolution 6 have been valued at $357,180 using the following methodology and assumptions:
Performance Rights Measured Against Non-Market Based Objectives
A Black Scholes option pricing model has been used to value the Performance Rights that vest upon achieving the non-market based strategic objectives set out in Schedule 2. The non-market based vesting conditions consist of the ESG and H&S objectives ( ESG Rights ) and prefeasibility study and milestone achievements (together Resource Rights ). No discount is made to the fundamental value derived from the option valuation model for unlisted rights over listed shares.
Performance Rights Measured Against Absolute Total Shareholder Return Objectives
The Performance Rights that vest upon meeting the absolute total shareholder return objectives ( ATSR Rights ) set out in Schedule 2. have been valued using a hybrid multiple barrier option pricing model. The model incorporates a Monte Carlo simulation, which simulates the Company’s Share price at the test date. The forecast Share price at the test date is then used to calculate the value of the ATSR Rights. The value is adjusted based on the vesting percentage, then discounted to its present value. This process is repeated for 50,000 iterations. The average ATSR Right value of the Monte Carlo iterations where the Company’s Share price exceeds the barriers, represents the final ATSR Right value. The barriers are assessed with reference to the 20-day VWAP of the Company at the test date.
Performance Rights Measured Against Relative Total Shareholder Return Objectives
The Performance Rights that vest upon meeting the relative total shareholder return objectives ( RTSR Rights ) set out in Schedule 2. have been valued using a hybrid employee share option pricing model which uses a correlated simulation that simultaneously calculates the returns from the Company and the individual Peer Group companies total shareholder return ( TSR ) on a risk neutral basis as at the vesting date with regards to the measurement period. The TSR of the Company is ranked against the TSR of each constituent of the Peer Group as at the vesting date and a vesting percentage calculated. The forecast Share price at the vesting date is then used to calculate the price of the RTSR Rights. The price is adjusted based on the vesting percentage, then discounted to its present value. This process is repeated for 50,000 iterations.

Schedule 6 Summary of Employee Securities Incentive Plan
A summary of the key terms of the Plan is set out below:
-
( Eligible Participant ): Eligible Participant means a person that:
-
(a) is an "eligible participant" (as that term is defined in ASIC Class Order CO 14/1000) in relation to the Company or an Associated Body Corporate (as that term is defined in ASIC Class Order 14/1000); and
-
(b) has been determined by the Board to be eligible to participate in the Plan from time to time.
-
( Purpose ): The purpose of the Plan is to:
-
(a) assist in the reward, retention and motivation of Eligible Participants;
-
(b) link the reward of Eligible Participants to Shareholder value creation; and
-
(c) align the interests of Eligible Participants with shareholders of the Group (being the Company and each of its Associated Bodies Corporate), by providing an opportunity to Eligible Participants to receive an equity interest in the Company in the form of Securities.
-
( Plan administration ): The Plan will be administered by the Board. The Board may exercise any power or discretion conferred on it by the Plan rules in its sole and absolute discretion. The Board may delegate its powers and discretion.
-
( Eligibility, invitation and application ): The Board may from time to time determine that an Eligible Participant may participate in the Plan and make an invitation to that Eligible Participant to apply for Securities on such terms and conditions as the Board decides. On receipt of an Invitation, an Eligible Participant may apply for the Securities the subject of the invitation by sending a completed application form to the Company. The Board may accept an application from an Eligible Participant in whole or in part. If an Eligible Participant is permitted in the invitation, the Eligible Participant may, by notice in writing to the Board, nominate a party in whose favour the Eligible Participant wishes to renounce the invitation.
-
( Grant of Securities ): The Company will, to the extent that it has accepted a duly completed application, grant the Participant the relevant number of Securities, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the invitation, the Plan rules and any ancillary documentation required.
-
( Terms of Convertible Securities ): Each 'Convertible Security' represents a right to acquire one or more Shares (for example, under an option or performance right), subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. Prior to a Convertible Security being exercised a Participant does not have any interest (legal, equitable or otherwise) in any Share the subject of the Convertible Security by virtue of holding the Convertible Security. A Participant may not sell, assign, transfer, grant a security interest over or otherwise deal with a Convertible Security that has been granted to them. A Participant must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of hedging their economic exposure to a Convertible Security that has been granted to them.
-
( Vesting of Convertible Securities ): Any vesting conditions applicable to the grant of Convertible Securities will be described in the invitation. An invitation may specify that at the
Page 40
time of exercise of the Convertible Securities, the Board will have the discretion to determine whether the Company with respect to each vested Convertible Security being exercised:
-
(a) allot and issue, or transfer, one Plan Share to the Participant ( Equity Settled ); or
-
(b) pay a cash amount to the Participant equivalent to the value of a Share as at the date of the Vesting Notice less the Exercise Price (if any) ( Cash Settled ).
If the invitation does not specify that the Board will have discretion as described above, the vested Convertible Securities being exercised are to be Equity Settled.
If all the vesting conditions are satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, a vesting notice will be sent to the Participant by the Company informing them that the relevant Convertible Securities have vested. Unless and until the vesting notice is issued by the Company, the Convertible Securities will not be considered to have vested. For the avoidance of doubt, if the vesting conditions relevant to a Convertible Security are not satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, that Convertible Security will lapse.
- ( Exercise of Convertible Securities and cashless exercise ): To exercise a Convertible Security, the Participant must deliver a signed notice of exercise and, subject to a cashless exercise of Convertible Securities (see below), pay the exercise price (if any) to or as directed by the Company, at any time prior to the earlier of any date specified in the vesting notice and the expiry date as set out in the invitation. An invitation may specify that at the time of exercise of the Convertible Securities, the Participant may elect not to be required to provide payment of the exercise price for the number of Convertible Securities specified in a notice of exercise, but that on exercise of those Convertible Securities the Company will transfer or issue to the Participant that number of Shares equal in value to the positive difference between the Market Value of the Shares at the time of exercise and the exercise price that would otherwise be payable to exercise those Convertible Securities.
'Market Value' means, at any given date, the volume weighted average price per Share traded on the ASX over the 5 Trading Days immediately preceding that given date, unless otherwise specified in an invitation.
A Convertible Security may not be exercised unless and until that Convertible Security has vested in accordance with the Plan rules, or such earlier date as set out in the Plan rules.
-
( Delivery of Shares on exercise of Convertible Securities ): As soon as practicable after the valid exercise of a Convertible Security by a Participant, the Company will issue or cause to be transferred to that Participant the number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled under the Plan rules and issue a substitute certificate for any remaining unexercised Convertible Securities held by that Participant.
-
( Forfeiture of Convertible Securities ): Where a Participant who holds Convertible Securities ceases to be an Eligible Participant or becomes insolvent, all unvested Convertible Securities will automatically be forfeited by the Participant, unless the Board otherwise determines in its discretion to permit some or all of the Convertible Securities to vest. Where the Board determines that a Participant has acted fraudulently or dishonestly, or wilfully breached his or her duties to the Group, the Board may in its discretion deem all unvested Convertible Securities held by that Participant to have been forfeited.
Unless the Board otherwise determines, or as otherwise set out in the Plan rules:
Page 41
-
(a) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be forfeited immediately on the date that the Board determines (acting reasonably and in good faith) that any applicable vesting conditions have not been met or cannot be met by the relevant date; and
-
(b) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be automatically forfeited on the expiry date specified in the invitation.
-
( Change of control ): If a change of control event occurs in relation to the Company, or the Board determines that such an event is likely to occur, the Board may in its discretion determine the manner in which any or all of the Participant's Convertible Securities will be dealt with, including, without limitation, in a manner that allows the Participant to participate in and/or benefit from any transaction arising from or in connection with the change of control event.
-
( Rights attaching to Plan Shares ): All Shares issued under the Plan, or issued or transferred to a Participant upon the valid exercise of a Convertible Security, ( Plan Shares ) will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares of the same class. A Participant will be entitled to any dividends declared and distributed by the Company on the Plan Shares and may participate in any dividend reinvestment plan operated by the Company in respect of Plan Shares. A Participant may exercise any voting rights attaching to Plan Shares.
-
( Disposal restrictions on Plan Shares ): If the invitation provides that any Plan Shares are subject to any restrictions as to the disposal or other dealing by a Participant for a period, the Board may implement any procedure it deems appropriate to ensure the compliance by the Participant with this restriction.
For so long as a Plan Share is subject to any disposal restrictions under the Plan, the Participant will not:
-
(a) transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of, or have a security interest granted over that Plan Share; or
-
(b) take any action or permit another person to take any action to remove or circumvent the disposal restrictions without the express written consent of the Company.

( Adjustment of Convertible Securities ): If there is a reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company (including any subdivision, consolidation, reduction, return or cancellation of such issued capital of the Company), the rights of each Participant holding Convertible Securities will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules applicable to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation. If Shares are issued by the Company by way of bonus issue (other than an issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment), the holder of Convertible Securities is entitled, upon exercise of the Convertible Securities, to receive an allotment of as many additional Shares as would have been issued to the holder if the holder held Shares equal in number to the Shares in respect of which the Convertible Securities are exercised. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, a holder of Convertible Securities does not have the right to participate in a pro rata issue of Shares made by the Company or sell renounceable rights.
-
( Participation in new issues ): There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Convertible Securities and holders are not entitled to participate in any new issue of Shares of the Company during the currency of the Convertible Securities without exercising the Convertible Securities.

- ( Amendment of Plan ): Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time amend any provisions of the Plan rules, including (without limitation) the terms and conditions upon which any Securities have been granted under the Plan and determine that any amendments to the Plan rules be given retrospective effect, immediate effect or future effect. No amendment to any provision of the Plan rules may be made if the amendment materially reduces the rights of any Participant as they existed before.
