EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 together with the declaration of the directors, the directors’ report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report.

The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at www.chargermetals.com.au

1. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

1.1 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.

1.2 Voting consequences

A company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.

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 most recent 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.

1.3 Previous voting results

This is the Company’s first annual general meeting since been admitted to the offical list of the ASX on 7 July 2021.

If, at this Meeting, at least 25% of the votes cast on this remuneration report resolution are against adoption of the remuneration report, shareholders should be aware that if this were to occur again at the 2022 annual general meeting (ie. at 2022 annual general meeting, at least 25% of the votes cast on the remuneration report resolution are against adoption of the

7

remuneration report), this will result in a Spill Resolution being put to shareholders which may result in the re-election of the Board.

1.4 Board recommendation

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of adopting the Remuneration Report as contained in the Company’s annual financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2021.

2. RESOLUTION 2 AND 3 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS – MR TERRY GARDINER AND MR ALAN ARMSTRONG

2.1 General

The Constitution sets out the requirements for determining which Directors are to retire at an annual general meeting.

  • Clause 14.4 provides that, provided the total number of Directors does not exceed 9, the Directors may at any time appoint a person to be a director, either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Directors. Any director appointed under clause 14.4 holds office only until the next following annual general meeting and is then eligible for re-election.

  • Clause 14.2 provides that, at the Company’s annual general meeting in every year, one-third of the Directors shall retire from office. In determining the number of Directors to retire under clause 14.2, no account is to be taken of: (i) a Director who only holds office until the next annual general meeting pursuant to clause 14.4 and / or (ii) a Managing Director, each of whom are exempt from retirement by rotation.

Mr Terry Gardiner and Mr Alan Armstrong were appointed as Directors of the Company on 27 November 2020. Under clause 14.4 of the Constitution, Mr Terry Gardiner and Mr Alan Armstrong hold office until the date of this annual general meeting and are eligible for reelection.

Mr Terry Gardiner and Mr Alan Armstrong are exempt from retirement by rotation under clause 14.2 of the Constitution because they only hold office as directors of the Company until this annual general meeting under clause 14.4 of the Constitution. Notwithstanding this, the Directors have decided that one of the Directors, being Mr Terry Gardiner, will also retire by rotation under clause 14.2 of the Constitution.

Mr David Crook (the remaining director of the Company) is exempt from retirement by rotation under clause 14.2 of the Constitution because he is the Managing Director of the Company.

Under Resolution 2, Mr Terry Gardiner is seeking re-election as a director of the Company under clauses 14.2 and 14.4 of the Constitution.

Under Resolution 3, Mr Alan Armstrong is seeking re-election as a director of the Company under clause 14.4 of the Constitution.

Mr Gardiner was appointed to the Board of Directors upon incorporation. He has strong experience in capital raising, support, promotion and corporate advisory services to listed companies in Australia and overseas. He has 30 years’ experience investing in capital markets and extensive experience in funds management for sophisticated and private investors.

2.4 Board recommendation

The Directors (other than Mr Terry Gardiner) support the re-election of Mr Terry Gardiner and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

The Directors (other than Mr Alan Armstrong) support the re-election of Mr Alan Armstrong and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

3. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY

3.1 General

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity (as defined below) may seek shareholder approval by special resolution passed at an annual general meeting to have the capacity to issue up to that number of Equity Securities (as defined below) equal to 10% of its issued capital ( 10% Placement Capacity ) without using that company’s existing 15% annual placement capacity granted under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 such that if Resolution 4 is passed the Company’s total annual placement capacity will be 25% of its issued capital.

An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:

  • (a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and

  • (b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300,000,000.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $21,937,500 (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 19 October 2021).

An Equity Security is a share, a unit in a trust, a right to a share or unit in a trust or option, an option over an issued or unissued security, a convertible security, or, any security that ASX decides to classify as an equity security.

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company currently has one class of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: CHR) and two classes of unquoted Options on issue.

If Shareholders approve Resolution 4, the number of Equity Securities the Company may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2. In this regard, Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

9

(A x D) – E

Where:

A = the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of the Relevant Period (as defined below):

(A) plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the Relevant Period under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17;

(B) plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the Relevant Period on the conversion of Convertible Securities within ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:

  • the Convertible Securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the Relevant Period; or

  • the issue of, or agreement to issue, the Convertible Securities was approved, or taken under the ASX Listing Rules to have been approved, under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4,

(C) plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the Relevant Period under an agreement to issue securities within ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where:

  • the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the Relevant Period; or

  • the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under the ASX Listing Rules to have been approved, under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4,

(D) plus the number of any other fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

(E) plus the number of partly paid ordinary securities that became fully paid in the Relevant Period;

(F) less the number of fully paid ordinary securities cancelled in the Relevant Period;

Note: that “A” above has the same meaning as in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.

D = 10%.

  • E = the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the Relevant Period where the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by the holders of the Company’s ordinary securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 .

Note : For the purposes of “ A ” and “ E ” above, Relevant Period means:

  • if the Company has been admitted to the official list for 12 months or more, the 12-month period immediately preceding the date of the issue or agreement; or

  • if the Company has been admitted to the official list for less than 12 months, the period from the date the entity was admitted to the official list to the date immediately preceding the date of the issue or agreement.

Therefore, because the Company was admitted to the official list on 7 July 2021, as at the date of this Notice, the Relevant Period for the purposes of “ A ” and “ E ” above is the period from 7 July 2021 to the date immediately preceding the date of the issue or agreement.

10

If Shareholders do not approve Resolution 4, the Company will not be able to access the 10% Placement Facility and will remain subject to its existing 15% annual placement capacity granted under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 4 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 4 for it to be passed.

3.2 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 4:

(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 10 ASX trading days of the date in section 4.2(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 Capacity commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:

  • (i) 12 months after the date of this Meeting;

  • (ii) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; and

  • (iii) 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),

or such other period if allowed by ASX ( 10% Placement Capacity Period ).

(c) Risk of voting dilution

Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.

If Resolution 4 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2), on the basis of the market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issue as at 19 October 2021.

The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.

*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 upon the exercise of Options or exercise of Performance Rights) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

The table above uses the following assumptions:

  1. There will be 50,431,035 Shares on issue for the purposes of Current Variable A.

  2. The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 19 October 2021.

  3. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.

  4. The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.

  5. 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.

  6. This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  7. 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%.

  8. The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Capacity, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.

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,

12

which might have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of Shares.

(d) Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity

The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for cash consideration, in which case the Company intends to use the funds:

  • (i) to conduct exploration activities associated with its various Projects to identify early stage exploration targets with the aim of defining valuable mineral resources that the Company can monetarise through either further development or sale.;

  • (ii) to identify new project acquisition targets; and/or

  • (iii) for general exploration and development activities, working capital and may use the funds for the acquisition of new assets and investments.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.

(e) Allocation policy under the 10% Placement Capacity

The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.

The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:

  • (i) the purpose of the issue;

  • (ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;

  • (iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;

  • (v) prevailing market conditions; and

  • (vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

  • (f) Previous approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

Given this is the first annual general meeting of the Company since it listed on ASX, the Company has previously not obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

Accordingly, during the 12-month period preceding the date of the Meeting, the Company has not issued any Shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

3.3 Voting Exclusion

A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice. As at the date of this Notice, there is no outstanding invitation to 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 4.

13

3.4 Board recommendation

The Directors recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

4. RESOLUTION 5 – APPOINTMENT OF AUDITOR – NEXIA PERTH AUDIT SERVICES PTY LTD

4.1 General

In February 2021, Nexia Perth Audit Services Pty Ltd ( Nexia) was appointed by the Board to act as auditor of the Company and, in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act, holds office as auditor until the Company’s first AGM at which the appointment needs to be confirmed by Shareholders.

The Board is therefore seeking Shareholder approval for the re-appointment of Nexia as auditor of the Company with effect from the close of the AGM.

APPOINTMENT OF A PROXY

If you wish to appoint the Chair as your proxy, mark the box in Step 1. If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chair, please write that person’s name in the box in Step 1. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company. A proxy may be an individual or a body corporate.

VOTING DIRECTIONS – PROXY APPOINTMENT

You may direct your proxy on how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes opposite each resolution of business. All your shares will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any resolution by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given resolution, your proxy may vote as they choose to the extent they are permitted by law. If you mark more than one box on a resolution, your vote on that resolution will be invalid.
