ORDINARY BUSINESS

Resolution 1. Ratification of 158,000,000 Previously Issued Shares

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the previous issue by the Company of 158,000,000 fully paid ordinary Shares to the persons and corporations listed hereunder on 18 December 2017.

Listing Rule 7.4

As noted above, in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.4, the Company is seeking Shareholders to ratify the previous issue of the Placement Shares as outlined below, being issues of securities made by the Company on 18 December 2017 for which Shareholders’ approval has not been obtained.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits a company, except in certain cases, from issuing new equity securities equivalent in number to more than 15% of its capital in any 12 month period without the prior approval of its shareholders. The Company seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the issue of the Placement Shares in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.4 in order to refresh the Company’s ability to issue up to 15% of its share capital (in a 12 month period) under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Under ASX Listing Rule 7.4, an issue of securities made without approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with approval if the issue:

  • did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (i.e. the issue did not exceed the 15% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of the issue); and

  • holders of the ordinary securities subsequently approve the issue.

Terms of the Placement Shares

For the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.5 the Company advises as follows:

  • 1) The 158,000,000 Placement Shares were issued to the various parties on 18 December 2017 noted in Table 1 below.

  • 2) The 158,000,000 Placement Shares were issue to the recipients at $0.01 per Share, as specified in Table 1 below.

  • 3) The Placement Shares rank pari passu with the Company’s existing Shares on issue, are not subject to escrow restrictions and are subject to the rights and obligations set out in the Company’s Constitution.

  • 4) The recipients of the Placement Shares, and the number of Placement Shares issued to each, are as set out in Table 1 below.

  • 5) The funds raised from this issue have and will continue to be used to accelerate development and exploration Company’s projects notably Granville and Mt Cobalt, and provide general working capital for the Company.

  • 6) A Voting Exclusion Statement in relation to this Resolution is set out in the Notice of Meeting.

Resolution 2. Ratification of Previously Issued 90,512,800 Shares and 31,250,000 options to The Lind Partners

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the previous issues by the Company of the Conversion Shares (being 90,512,800 fully paid ordinary shares issued at an average $0.0129 per share), and the Fee Options (being 31,250,000 unlisted options exercisable at 1.35 cents each and expiring on 3 November 2020) to the Australian Special Opportunities Fund LP, managed by The Lind Partners (together The Lind Partners ). The Conversion Shares were issued pursuant to the Convertible Security Funding Agreement (the Initial CSFA ), and the Fee Options were issued in partial satisfaction of the fees owing to The Lind Partners upon the parties entering into a Deed of Variation to the Initial CSFA on 31 October 2017.

Background

On 15 June 2017, the Company announced that it had entered into the $3.25 million Initial CSFA with The Lind Partners. The Initial CSFA provided a source of capital enabling the Company to pursue its program of project development and exploration across a portfolio of tin and cobalt assets. On 31 October 2017, the Company announced an increase in total funding from AU $3.25 million to AU$3.5 million, with the additional financing component increasing from AU$250,000 to AU$500,000 under the revised Initial CSFA. All other terms and conditions of the Initial CSFA remained unchanged. On 31 January 2018, the Company announced that it had extinguished liability for all amounts previously drawn under the Initial CSFA via a mixture of cash repayment and equity conversions.

Listing Rule 7.4

As noted above, in accordance with Listing Rule 7.4, the Company is seeking Shareholders to ratify the previous issues of 90,512,800 Conversion shares and 31,250,000 Fee Options to The Lind Partners, being issues of securities made by the Company during the previous 12 months, for which Shareholder approval has not already been obtained. Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits a company, except in certain cases, from issuing new equity securities equivalent in number to more than 15% of its capital in any 12 month period without the prior approval of its shareholders. Listing Rule 7.1A provides the ability for a company to place up to an additional 10% of its share capital without shareholder approval where, at an AGM convened within the previous 12 months, approval for such capacity was granted by shareholders pursuant to a special resolution. Such approval was obtained by Aus Tin Mining at its 27 November 2017 AGM.

The Company now seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the previous issues of 90,512,800 Conversion shares and 31,250,000 Fee Options to The Lind Partners in accordance with Listing Rule 7.4 in order to refresh the Company’s ability to issue up to 15% of its share capital (in a 12 month period) under Listing Rule 7.1 and up to an additional 10% of its share capital pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A. Of the 90,512,800 Conversion Shares issued, 67,948,692 were issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 and 22,564,108 were issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A.

Under Listing Rule 7.4, an issue of securities made without approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with approval if the issue:

  • did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 (i.e. the issue did not exceed the 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1); and

  • holders of the ordinary securities subsequently approve the issue.

Listing Rule 7.4 provides that a Company may reinstate its additional placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A where any securities issued during the relevant period are subsequently ratified by the Company’s Shareholders.

Terms of the Conversion Shares

For the purpose of ASX Listing Rules 7.4 and 7.5 the Company advises that the Conversion Shares were issued to The Lind Partners, and in each case in the numbers, at the issue prices and on the dates indicated in the table 2 immediately below:

Table 2

The Australian Special Opportunities Fund LP Price Number Amount
Shares allotted on 27 December 2017 $0.009 55,555,556 $500,000
Shares allotted on 31 January 2018 $0.009 12,393,111 $111,538
Shares allotted on 31 January 2018 $0.015 12,564,133 $188,462
Shares allotted on 31 January 2018 $0.015 10,000,000 $150,000
TOTAL SHARES ALLOTTED Avg $0.0129 90,512,800 $ 950,000

The Conversion Shares rank pari passu with the existing shares on issue. All of the shares are subject to the rights and obligations set out in the Company’s Constitution.

No funds were raised at the time of the allotment of the above noted Conversion Shares. However, the Conversion Shares extinguished $950,000 of funds previously drawn by the Company as debt funding and used for project related expenditures and for working capital purposes.

Terms of the Fee Options

For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 and 7.5 the Company advises as follows:

  • A total of 31,250,000 Fee Options were issued on 3 November 2017.

  • The Fee Options were issued for nil monetary consideration, but as part of the Company’s obligations under the Initial CSFA.

  • The Fee Options were issued with a strike price of 1.35 cents each expiring to 3 November 2020.

  • The Fee Options were issued to The Lind Partners.

  • No funds were raised via the issue of the options. Funds raised from any subsequent exercise of the options will be used by the Company for project expenditure, corporate costs and general working capital purposes.

A Voting Exclusion Statement in relation to this Resolution is set out in the Notice of Meeting.

Directors Recommendation

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

Resolution 3. Approval for the Conversion of Debts Owed to DGR Global Limited Through the Issue of Shares to DGR Global Limited

Resolution 3 seeks the approval of Shareholders for the issue of up to $450,000 worth of fully paid ordinary Shares in the Company to DGR Global Limited, at its election (the DGR Conversion Shares ). DGR Global Limited ( DGR) does not control the Company for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act. Accordingly, Shareholder approval will not be required for the issue of the DGR Conversion Shares for the purposes of those provisions.

An amount of $50,000 is owed by the Company to DGR, being part of the consideration unpaid for the transfer of land from DGR to the Company on or about 8 March 2017 (the Consideration for Transfer of Land ). In addition, DGR is also owed accrued and unpaid management fees, which as at the date of this Notice of Meeting amount to $358,583 (the Management Fees ). The Consideration for Transfer of Land and the Management Fees together currently total $408,583 (the DGR Loan ). The terms of the DGR Loan were that the Company would repay it at a time to be agreed between the parties, having regard to the Company’s treasury and ongoing funding requirements.

Page 7 of 22

==> picture [56 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

The Company and DGR have now agreed that DGR may elect to accept the issue of the DGR Conversion Shares in partial or full satisfaction of the amount of the DGR Loan.

If the issue of the DGR Conversion Shares is approved by Shareholders, the DGR Conversion Shares will be issued at the price per Share determined in accordance with the formula set out below in paragraph (b) of the section headed Information required by Listing Rule 10.13. On the basis of the amount owed to DGR as at the date of this Notice of Meeting (A$408,583 loam) and on the basis of 60 day VWAP being 2.4 cents per share on 11 May 2018, DGR would be issued 377,858,007 shares in full satisfaction of the DGR Loan.

Listing Rules 7.1 and 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 requires shareholder approval for a company to issue equity securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity as such that in ASX’s opinion, shareholder approval should be obtained. A “related party” for the purposes of the Listing Rules is defined widely and includes an entity controlled by a director of the public company.

As noted above DGR does not control the Company for the purposes of the Corporations Act. However, for the purpose of the ASX Listing Rules the issue of Shares to DGR may require approval under Listing Rule 10.11. While DGR Global Limited does not control the Company for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, the Company notes that DGR is a significant Shareholder in the Company (currently holding 18.38 % of the ordinary fully paid Shares of the Company) and has two (2) nominee Directors on the Board, being Messrs Mather and Moller. Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the issue of the DGR Conversion Shares is sought in accordance with the provisions of Listing Rule 10.11.

Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits a company, except in certain cases, from issuing new equity securities equivalent in number to more than 15% of its capital in any 12 month period without the prior approval of its shareholders (the 7.1 Capacity). If approval is required and given under Listing Rule 10.11, approval will not be required under Listing Rule 7.1. By obtaining approval under Listing Rule 10.11, the Company will be able to issue the DGR Conversion Shares while preserving its 7.1 Capacity.

Takeover Provisions

Subject to certain exceptions, section 606 of the Corporations Act prohibits a person from acquiring a relevant interest in the issued voting shares of a listed company where as a result, that person’s voting power in the company increases:

  • (a) from 20% below to more than 20%; or

  • (b) from a starting point that is above 20% and below 90%.

Where the issue of the DGR Conversion shares would result in DGR breaching section 606 of the Corporations Act ( Breaching section 606 ), the Directors will have the discretion to limit the number of DGR Conversion Shares to be issued, to that number which will not result in DGR Breaching section 606. Where the Directors exercise this discretion, some amount of the DGR Loan may remain outstanding following the issue of the DGR Conversion Shares.

Information required by Listing Rule 10.13

For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.13 the Company advises as follows:

  • (a) The DGR Conversion Shares are being issued to DGR.

  • (b) The number of DGR Conversion Shares being issued will be determined in accordance with the following formula:

  • Number of DGR Conversion Shares = DGR Loan Amount Outstanding / DGR Conversion Share Issue Price,

  • the Number of DGR Conversion Shares is the number of DGR Conversion Shares to be issued pursuant to Resolution 3;

Page 8 of 22

==> picture [56 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

  • the DGR Amount Outstanding is the amount of the DGR Loan owing to the Company as at the date of issue of the DGR Conversion Shares; and

  • the DGR Conversion Share Issue Price shall be the VWAP for the 60 trading days immediately prior to the date on which the DGR Conversion Shares are issued.

  • c) If approval is given, and to the extent that DGR elects to convert the DGR Amount Outstanding, the Company intends to issue and allot the DGR Conversion Shares within one (1) month the date of the Meeting.

  • d) As noted above, DGR is a substantial Shareholder in the Company (currently holding 18.38 % of the ordinary fully paid Shares of the Company), and has two (2) nominee Directors on the Board, being Messrs Mather and Moller.

  • e) The DGR Conversion Shares will be issued at the DGR Conversion Share Issue Price as noted in paragraph (2) above, and on the same terms as and rank pari passu with, the existing Shares on issue in the capital of the Company. The rights and liabilities of Shareholders are set out in the Constitution of the Company. The Constitution can be obtained from the Company’s website at the following link http://www.austinmining.com.au/site/PDF/1280_0/consititution. Any Conversion Shares issued will be listed on the ASX (Code: ANW).

  • f) A Voting Exclusion Statement in relation to this Resolution is set out in the Notice of Meeting.

  • g) The DGR Loan is primarily comprised of unpaid management and administrative fees, and an amount owing for an historical transfer of land.

The Company believes that all information required pursuant to Listing Rule 10.13 is contained in the Notice of Meeting and this Explanatory Memorandum.

Dilutionary Effect

It is not possible to state definitively what the dilutionary effect of the issue of the DGR Conversion Shares (the Dilutionary Effect ) will be until such time as the DGR Conversion Share Issue Price is determined. However, for illustrative purposes only, Table 3 immediately below sets out the likely Dilutionary Effect given a variety of different DGR Conversion Share Issue Prices, as a result of varying market prices of Shares.

The Company's Buy-Back Rights

  • 7) The Company may elect to buy back the outstanding Face Value of either Convertible Security at any time at no premium or penalty (the Buy-Back Right ). If the Company exercises its Buy-Back Right in respect of the First Convertible Security within 180 days of the issue First Closing Date, its Face Value will be reduced by AU$100,000. Should the Company exercise its Buy-Back Right in respect of the outstanding amount of either Face Value (the Buy Back Amount ), then The Lind Partners may instead elect to have the Company issue Conversion Shares equal to 25% of the Buy Back Amount at the Conversion Price.

The Lind Partner’s Conversion Rights

  • 8) The Lind Partners may exercise its rights to convert the Face Value of either Convertible Security, in whole or in increments of not less than AU$50,000, by The Lind Partners by giving one (1) Business Days’ notice to the Company ( Conversion Notice Date ).

  • 9) The issue price of either First Conversion Shares or Additional Conversion Shares (the Conversion Price ) shall be:

  • a. where those Conversion Shares are issued less than 11 months after the First Closing Date then AU$0.035; and

    • i. AU$0.035; and

    • ii. 90% of the average of five (5) consecutive daily VWAPs, chosen by The Lind Partners from amongst the 20 Trading Days immediately prior to the Conversion Notice Date. If the resultant Conversion Price contains five or more decimal places, the number will be rounded down to the next lowest number containing four decimal places.

  • 10) If the Conversion Price is less than AU$0.012 (the Floor Price ), then the Company will have the right not to issue the relevant Conversion Shares, but rather to pay the Conversion Price to The Lind Partners in cash.

Commitment Fees

  • 12) The Company will pay to The Lind Partners a commitment fee equal to AU$75,000 (equalling 3% of the Funded Amount) upon the Funded Amount being advanced to the Company. The Parties acknowledge that this amount has in fact been paid by the Company to The Lind Partners.

New Fee Options

  • 13) The Company will issue the New Fee Options to The Lind Partners upon receipt of the Funding Amount. The New Fee Options are exercisable at any time within 36 calendar months after the date of their issue (the Options Expiration Date ), at an issue price of AU$0.035 (the Strike Price ).

  • 14) The terms upon which the New Fee Options will be issued are set out in Annexure A (the New Fee Options Terms ).

  • 15) At any time prior to the Options Expiration Date the Company may give notice in writing (the Put Notice ) to The Lind Partners to exercise the New Fee Options provided that there is no Face Value of either Convertible Security outstanding as at that time, and the average daily VWAP for the 30 consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the Options Expiration Date are greater than or equal to AU$0.07.

Collateral Shares

  • 16) If Shareholders pass Resolution 4, then within five (5) Business Days after the date of the Meeting the Company will issue the Collateral Shares to The Lind Partners for nil cash, but In consideration for The Lind Partners entering into the New CSFA and agreeing to purchase the Convertible Securities.

  • 17) Notwithstanding that the Collateral Shares are issued for nil cash consideration, where the Company is obliged to issue any Conversion Shares to The Lind Partners (whether due to conversion or buy back of the Face Value of either Convertible Security), The Lind Partners may permit that obligation to be satisfied in whole or in part by a reduction in a notional Collateral Share Number (the Collateral Share Offset ). For example, if The Lind Partners elect to convert part or all of the Face Value of a Convertible Security, then instead of being issued all or some of the relevant number of Conversion Shares, The Lind Partners may elect to reduce the number of Conversion Shares by the number determined in accordance with the following formula:

A = B/C

Where

A = the number by which the Conversion Shares to be issued are reduced;

B = the Face Value to be Converted (or paid in cash by the Company to The Lind Partners as the case maybe); and

C = the Collateralisation Price (which is defined in paragraph 20) below).

On each occasion of a Collateral Share Offset, the notional Collateral Share Number shall be reduced accordingly. The remaining Collateral Share Number is referred to as the Outstanding Collateral Shareholding Number .

  • 18) At any time prior to and including the last of the First Maturity Date and the Additional Maturity Date to occur, The Lind Partners may issue a notice to the Company to reduce the Collateral Shareholding Number (the Collateralisation Election Notice ). Upon provision of the Collateralisation Election notice:

Page 12 of 22

==> picture [56 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

  • a. The Lind Partners shall pay the Company an amount in immediately available funds which is equal to the Outstanding Collateral Share Number multiplied by the Collateralisation Price; and

  • b. the Outstanding Collateral Share Number shall be reduced accordingly.

  • 19) If after the last of the First Maturity Date and the Additional Maturity Date to occur, the Outstanding Collateral Shareholding Number is greater than zero, then at the election of the Company, The Lind Partners must within ten (10) Business Days either:

  • a. transfer a number of the Collateral Shares as equals the Outstanding Collateral Shareholding Number in accordance with the direction of the Company; or

  • b. pay the Company an amount in immediately available funds which is equal to the Outstanding Collateral Share Number multiplied by the Collateralisation Price.

  • 20) The Collateralisation Price will be:

  • a. where the Company is given a written notice by The Lind Partners at any time during the Term, then equal to 90% of the average daily VWAPs calculated over a period of five consecutive days chosen by The Lind Partners, from the period of 20 trading days ending on the day immediately prior to the date of the Collateralisation Election Notice; and

  • b. at any other time, then 90% of the average daily VWAPs calculated over a period of five consecutive days chosen by The Lind Partners, from the period of 20 trading days ending on the day immediately prior to the date of issue of the Collateral Shares.

Adjustments to Conversion Price and Collateral Shareholding Number

  • 21) Each time a consolidation, subdivision or pro rata cancellation of the Company’s issued capital takes place, or there is any payment of a dividend or distribution of ordinary shares to Shareholders (but excluding a rights offering or a bonus issue), then the Conversion Price and the Collateral Shareholding Number will be reduced or increased to reflect the payment of the dividend, the distribution of shares, the consolidation, the subdivision or the cancellation of the issued capital of the Company as the case may be.

Listing Rule 7.1

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits a listed company from issuing, or agreeing to issue, equity securities (which includes the Convertible Securities, the New Fee Options, the Collateral Shares, and any Conversion Shares) that exceed 15% of the total number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue in any 12 month period (the Annual Placement Capacity ), unless approval is obtained from the shareholders of the company’s ordinary securities.

The effect of Resolution 4 if passed, will be to allow the Company to issue:

  • 1) the Equity Securities during the period of 3 months after the Meeting; and

  • 2) any Conversion Shares,

and in each case these issues will be excluded by the Company when calculating its Annual Placement Capacity from time to time.

Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3

Pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 4:

  • 1) If Resolution 4 is passed, the maximum number of securities that will be issued by the Company, or the formula for calculating the maximum number of securities that will be issued by the Company are as follows:

Page 13 of 22

==> picture [56 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

  • a) The Company will issue the number of Conversion Shares ( The Relevant Number of Conversion Shares ), as is determined in accordance with the following formula (the Conversion Formula ):

The Relevant Number of Conversion Shares = Amount of Face Value/Conversion Price

where:

  • the Relevant Number of Conversion Shares is the number of Conversion Shares to be issued on conversion of any amount of the Face Value of either Convertible Security;

  • the Amount of Face Value is the amount of the Face value of either Convertible Security being converted; and

  • the Conversion Price shall be as determined in accordance item (9) of the Summary of the Terms of the New CSFA set out above.

Until the relevant Conversion Price has been determined, the Company will not be able to quantify the maximum number of Conversion Shares that may be issued. The actual number of Conversion Shares that may be issued will depend upon the total Face Value which is converted, the relevant Conversion Price on the occasion of each conversion, and the application of the Conversion Formula. However, for the illustrative purpose, the Company has prepared Table 4 below to provide an indication of the possible number of Conversion Shares (amongst other equity securities) that may be issued and the dilutionary impact on Shareholders .

  • b) The Company will issue one (1) Additional Security with an Additional Security Face Value of AU$1.2 million to The Lind Partners.

  • c) The Company will issue 41,250,000 New Fee Options to The Lind Partners.

  • d) The Company will issue 15,000,000 Collateral Shares to The Lind Partners.

  • 2) The issue prices of each of the securities to be issued by the Company if Resolution 4 is passed are:

  • a) The Additional Convertible Security will be issued in consideration for the Additional Closing Price of A$1 million.

  • b) The New Fee Options will be issued in consideration for The Lind Partners entering into the New CSFA and agreeing to purchase the Convertible Securities, at a strike price of A$0.035 per option.

  • c) The Collateral Shares will be issued in consideration for The Lind Partners entering into the New CSFA and agreeing to purchase the Convertible Securities.

  • d) Any Conversion Shares will be issued for the Conversion Price set out above in item 9) under the Summary of the Terms of the New CSFA.

  • 3) The proposed allottee of each of the Equity Securities, and any Conversion Shares or Shares issued upon the exercise of any New Fee Options is The Lind Partners or its nominee.

  • 4) Each of the Equity Securities will be issued on the terms set out above (and in the case of the New Fee Options on the terms set out in Attachment A). Any Conversion Shares or Shares issued on the exercise of the New Fee Options, will be issued on the same terms as and rank pari passu with the Shares. The rights and liabilities of Shareholders are set out in the Constitution of the Company, which can accessed on the Company’s website at http://www.austinmining.com.au/site/PDF/1280_0/consititution. Any Conversion Shares or Shares issued on the exercise of the New Fee Options will be listed on the ASX (Code: ANW).

  • a) In respect of the Equity Securities

    • the Additional Convertible Security will be issued on the date which is ten (10) Business Days after the date of the Meeting; and

Dilutionary Effect

It is not possible to state definitively what the combined dilutionary effect of the issue of the Equity Securities, any Conversion Shares and any Shares issued on the exercise of any New Fee Options (the Dilutionary Effect ) will be, until the Relevant Number of Conversion Shares and the Conversion Share Price are determined. However for illustrative purposes only, the Company has prepared Table 4 below to provide the likely Dilutionary Effect of the combined issue of the securities at varying Conversion Share Prices.

Directors’ Recommendation

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4 as the effect of this approval will be that the Company’s capacity to issue additional equity securities in the next 12 months up to 15% of its Share capital in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1 will not be diminished by the proposed issue of the Equity Securities, any Conversion Shares, and any shares on the exercise of any New Fee Options.

1.3 Bonus Issues

1.4 Rights Issues

If prior to an exercise of an Option, but after the issue of the Option, any offer or invitation is made by the Company to at least all the holders of Shares resident in Australia for the subscription for cash with respect to Shares, options or other securities of the Company on a pro rata basis relative to those holders’ Shareholding at the time of the offer, the Options Exercise Price will be reduced as specified in the Listing Rules in relation to pro-rata issues (except bonus issues).
