accordance with directions given to the proxy or attorney to vote on the resolution in that way;
or
  • (b) the Chair of the Meeting as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the resolution, in accordance with a direction given to the Chair to vote on the resolution as the Chair decides; or

  • (ii) the holder votes on the resolution in accordance with directions given by the beneficiary to the holder to vote in that way.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT VOTING ON THE RESOLUTIONS

All Resolutions will be by Poll

Each Resolution considered at the Meeting will be conducted by a poll, rather than on a show of hands. The Chair considers voting by poll to be in the interests of the Shareholders as a whole and is a way to ensure the views of as many Shareholders as possible are represented at the Meeting.

Shareholders may vote by appointing a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf, using the enclosed Proxy Form.

Voting by proxy

A member who is entitled to vote at the Meeting may appoint:

  • (a) one proxy if the member is only entitled to one vote; or

  • (b) two proxies if the member is entitled to more than one vote.

Where the member appoints two proxies, the appointment may specify the proportion or number of votes that each proxy may exercise. If the appointment does not specify a proportion or number, each proxy may exercise one half of the votes, in which case any fraction of votes will be discarded.

A proxy need not be a member of the Company.

The Proxy Form and the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed (or a certified copy) must be received by the Company's Share Registry no later 3 August 2025 at 10.00am (AEST) (that is, at least 48 hours before the meeting). Proxies received after this time will not be accepted. Instructions for completing the Proxy Form are outlined on the form.

Proxies given by corporate Shareholders must be executed in accordance with their Constitutions or signed by a duly authorised attorney.

A proxy may decide whether to vote on any motion except where the proxy is required by law or the Constitution to vote, or abstain from voting, in their capacity as a proxy. If a proxy is directed how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may vote on that item only in accordance with that direction. If a proxy is not directed how to vote on an item of business, a proxy may vote how he or she thinks fit.

The Constitution provides that a Proxy Form issued by the Company may provide that where the appointment of a proxy has not identified the person who may exercise it, the appointment will be deemed to be given in favour of the Chair of the meeting to which it relates or to such other person as the Board determines.

If a Shareholder appoints the Chair of the meeting as the Shareholder’s proxy and does not specify how the Chair is to vote on an item of business, the Chair will vote, as a proxy for that Shareholder, in favour of the item on a poll.

Dated: 7 July 2025

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 to be put to Shareholders at the General Meeting to be held at Level 19, 480 Queen St, Brisbane, Brisbane on 5 August 2025.

The Notice of Meeting, which is also enclosed, sets out details of proposals concerning the Resolutions to be put to Shareholders.

The Directors recommend Shareholders read the accompanying Notice of Meeting and this Explanatory Statement in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions.

Unless otherwise defined, terms used in this Explanatory Statement are defined in the Glossary forming part of this Explanatory Statement.

1. Resolution 1 - Ratification of previous issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares

1.1 Background

On 16 June 2025 the Company announced to ASX a two-tranche placement for 200,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.003 per Share (the Placement Shares ), to various unrelated professional and sophisticated investors ( Placement Recipients ) to raise $600,000 (the Placement ). The Placement Shares were issued in two tranches, the first settled on Friday 20 June for 76,666,667 Shares ( Tranche 1 Placement Shares ) and the second of 123,333,333 Shares ( Tranche 2 Placement Shares ), the subject of Resolution 2 and Resolution 3, to settle once approval has been obtained from this General Meeting.

Funds raised from the issue of the Placement Shares will be applied towards the Company’s 100% owned Ashford coking coal project and working capital.

This issue of 76,666,667 Tranche 1 Placement Shares was undertaken within the Company’s issue capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • 1.2 ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4

In accordance with Listing Rule 7.4, Shareholder approval is sought to ratify the prior issue and allotment of the Placement Shares, being issues of securities made by the Company on 20 June 2025 for which shareholder approval has not already been obtained.

In broad terms Listing Rule 7.1 (subject to certain exceptions), limits the number of equity securities that a listed company can issue in any 12 month period without the approval of its shareholders, to a number equal to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities that it had on issue at the start of that 12 month period (15% Capacity).

As noted above, the Tranche 1 Placement Shares issued on 20 June 2025, the Company issued without Shareholder approval for 76,666,667 of the Placement Shares under Listing Rule 7.1 issue capacity.

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve the issue of equity securities after that issue has been made. If that approval is granted, the relevant issue will be excluded from the calculation of the listed company's remaining capacity under Listing Rules 7.1.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to utilise its combined capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, in order to take advantage of commercial opportunities as they may arise and to issue further securities without shareholder approval. Accordingly the Company now seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares in accordance with Listing Rule 7.4.

If Resolution 1 is passed, the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, replenishing the Company's placement capacity and effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, limiting the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.

  • 1.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5

Listing Rule 7.5 sets out the requirements for notices of meeting at which shareholder approval is sought for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4. For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5 the Company notes as follows:

The names of the persons to whom
the Securities are issued or agreed
to be issued or the basis on which
those persons were identified or

in accordance with paragraph 7.2 of the ASX Guidance Note 21,

relation to Resolution 3, none of the Placement recipients are
related parties of the Company, members of the Company’s key

The Company also confirms that none of the Placement
Recipients were issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the

The Tranche 1 Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary shares

terms as and rank pari passu with the Shares that were already

in the Constitution of the Company. The Constitution can be
obtained from the Company's website.

ranked equally in all aspects with all existing Shares previously

1.4 Board Recommendation

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

2. Resolution 2 - Approval of Tranche 2 Placement Shares

2.1 Background

As set out in Section 1, under Tranche 2 of the Placement, the Company proposes to issue 123,333,333 Shares ( Tranche 2 Placement Shares ) to professional and sophisticated investors at an issue price of $0.003 per Share to raise a further $370,000 (before costs).

Resolution 2 relates to the non-related parties and Resolution 3 relates to related parties.

2.2 ASX Listing Rules 7.1

The Company has agreed to issue 123,333,333 Tranche 2 Placement Shares subject to approval of this Resolution 2 ( Issue ).

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 does not fall within any of these exceptions and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of the Company's Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 2 seeks the required Shareholder approval to the Issue under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 2 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the Issue and raise the funds represented by the relevant Tranche 2 Placement Shares. In addition, the Issue will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Company will not proceed with the Issue and will not raise the funds represented by the relevant Tranche 2 Placement Shares.

  • 2.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3

Listing Rule 7.3 sets out the requirements for notices of meeting at which shareholder approval is sought for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1. For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3 the Company notes as follows:

The names of the persons to whom The Placement Shares were issued to sophisticated investors the Securities are issued or agreed identified by the Lead Manager of the Placement, Peak Asset to be issued or the basis on which Management, from among its clients and investor network; in those persons were identified or accordance with paragraph 7.2 of the ASX Guidance Note 21, the selected Company confirms that other than as is noted below in relation to Resolution 3, none of the Placement recipients are related parties of the Company, members of the Company’s key management personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company or an associate of any of these parties.

The number and class of Securities
issued or agreed to be issued
The Company will issue 113,333,333 Tranche 2 Placement
Shares. The Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be fully paid

2.4 Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

3. Resolution 3 - Approval of Tranche 2 shares to Alex Fitzgerald or his nominee

3.1 Background

As set out in Section 1, under Tranche 2 of the Placement, the Company proposes to issue 123,333,333 Tranche 2 Placement Shares ( AF Shares ) to professional and sophisticated investors at an issue price of $0.003 per Share to raise a further $370,000 (before costs).

Resolution 2 relates to the non-related parties and Resolution 3 relates to related parties.

3.2

Corporations Law

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the company unless either:

(a) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the exceptions to the prohibition; or

(b) the company's members approve the giving of the financial benefit in accordance with the Corporations Act.

'Related party' is widely defined under the Corporations Act and includes directors of a company. 'Financial benefit' is also defined broadly and includes benefits from the public company’s subsidiaries. It is necessary to look at the economic and commercial substance and the effect of the transaction in determining the financial benefit. The Corporations Act requires that any consideration that is given is disregarded in determining whether a financial benefit is given, even if the consideration is adequate.

The issue of the AF Shares will result in the giving of a financial benefit by the Company to Mr Fitzgerald (or his nominee), because he is a director of the Company.

The Directors (excluding Mr Fitzgerald) consider that shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of AF Shares to Mr Fitzgerald, because the Shares are being issued at the same price and on the same terms as the Tranche 1 and Tranche 2 Placement Shares that were issued to non-related party participants in the Placement, and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms .

As a financial benefit given on arm's length terms is one of the exceptions contemplated in paragraph (a) above, the approval of Shareholders contemplated in the explanation above is not required.

3.3 ASX Listing Rules

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not, without shareholder approval, issue or agree to issue equity securities to:

Listing Rule 10.11.1 a related party.
Listing Rule 10.11.2 person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement,
a substantial (30%+) holder in the company.
Listing Rule 10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or
agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a
director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which
gives them a right or expectation to do so.
Listing Rule 10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3
Listing Rule 10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing
Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement
should be approved by its shareholders, unless it obtains the approval of its
shareholders.

The issue of Tranche 2 Placement Shares pursuant to Resolution 3 falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 because Mr Fitzgerald as a Director, and his nominee, are related parties of the Company and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. Therefore, the issue requires the approval of the Company's Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

If Resolution 3. is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares to Mr Fitzgerald's related party nominee, within 1 month after the date of the Meeting. In these circumstances, by operation of Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 14, the relevant Shares will not be included for the purposes of calculating the Company’s 15% placement capacity in respect of its Equity Securities.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares to Mr Fitzgerald.

3.4 Directors Recommendation

4. Resolution 4 – Approval to issue 18,402,170 Shares to Mr Peter Westerhuis or his nominee, in lieu of salary

4.1 Background

Mr Peter Westerhuis, Managing Director and CEO of Clara, has deferred and hence not received his salary from 1 October 2024 to 30 June 2025. Mr Westerhuis has agreed with the Company to have three months of this deferred remuneration paid out in Shares ( PW Shares ), subject to shareholder approval, with the other six months' remuneration remaining deferred to a future date to be mutually agreed.

4.2

Corporations Law

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is summarised in section 3.2 and applies equally to Resolution 4.

The issue of the PW Shares to Mr Westerhuis will result in the giving of a financial benefit by the Company to Mr Westerhuis, because he is a director of the Company.

The Directors (excluding Mr Westerhuis) consider that shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of PW Shares to Mr Westerhuis, because the PW Shares are being issued at the same price and on the same terms as the Placement Shares that were issued to non-related party participants in the Placement, and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms

As a financial benefit given on arm's length terms is one of the exceptions contemplated in paragraph (a) above, the approval of Shareholders contemplated in the explanation above is not required.

4.3 ASX Listing Rules

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not, without shareholder approval, issue or agree to issue equity securities to:

Listing Rule 10.11.1 a related party.
Listing Rule 10.11.2 person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue
or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company.
Listing Rule 10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the
issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company
and who has nominated a director to the board of the company
pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or
expectation to do so
Listing Rule 10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to
10.11.3
Listing Rule 10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred
to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion,
the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The issue of PW Shares falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 because the allottee is an entity controlled by Mr Westerhuis, a Director. Since Mr Westerhuis controls his nominee, both are related parties of the Company. The issue does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. Therefore the issue requires the approval of the Company's Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

If Resolution 4. is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the PW Shares within 1 month after the date of the Meeting. In these circumstances, by operation of Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 14, the PW Shares will not be included for the purposes of calculating the Company’s 15% placement capacity in respect of its Equity Securities.

If Resolution 4. is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the PW Shares and the Company will remain liable to pay Mr Westerhuis' Unpaid Salary in cash.

4.4 Directors Recommendation

5. Resolution 5 – Approval to issue 5,451,107 Shares to Mr Richard or his nominee, in lieu of Director's Fees

5.1 Background

Mr Richard Willson, Non-executive Chairman of Clara, has deferred and hence not received his director fees from 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2025. Mr Willson has agreed with the Company to have two months of this deferred remuneration paid out in Shares ( RW Shares ), subject to shareholder approval, with the remaining director fees deferred to a future date to be mutually agreed.

5.2

Corporations Law

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is summarised in section 3.2 and applies equally to Resolution 5.

The issue of the RW Shares to Mr Willson will result in the giving of a financial benefit by the Company to Mr Willson, because he is a director of the Company.

The Directors (excluding Mr Willson) consider that shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of RW Shares to Mr Willson, because the RW Shares are being issued at the same price and on the same terms as the Shares that were issued to non-related party participants in the Placement, and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms

As a financial benefit given on arm's length terms is one of the exceptions contemplated in paragraph (a) above, the approval of Shareholders contemplated in the explanation above is not required.

5.3 ASX Listing Rules

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:

Listing Rule 10.11.1 a related party.
Listing Rule 10.11.2 person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue
or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company.
Listing Rule 10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the
issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company
and who has nominated a director to the board of the company
pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or
expectation to do so
Listing Rule 10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to
10.11.3.
Listing Rule 10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred
to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion,
the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The issue of RW Shares to a nominee of Mr Willson controlled by him falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 because Mr Willson is a Director and entities controlled by him are related parties of the Company. The issue does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 and therefore requires the approval of the Company's Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

If Resolution 5. is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the RW Shares within 1 month after the date of the Meeting. In these circumstances, by operation of Listing

Rule 7.2 Exception 14, the RW Shares will not be included for the purposes of calculating the Company’s 15% placement capacity in respect of its Equity Securities.

If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the RW Shares and the Company will remain liable to pay Mr Willson’s deferred director fees in cash.

5.4 Directors Recommendation

6. Resolution 6 – Approval for the issue of 7,837,500 Shares to Mr Peter Harding-Smith (CFO & Company Secretary of the Company) in lieu of Contractor Fees

6.1 Background

Mr Peter Harding-Smith, CFO and Company Secretary , has deferred and hence not received all of his contractor fees from 1 February 2025 to 30 June 2025. Mr Harding-Smith has agreed with the Company to have all deferred remuneration paid out in Shares ( HS Shares ).

  • 6.2 ASX Listing Rules 7.1

The Company has agreed to issue the HS Shares subject to approval of this Resolution 6 (Issue).

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 does not fall within any of these exceptions and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of the Company's Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 6 seeks the required Shareholder approval to the Issue under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the Issue. In addition, the Issue will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company will not proceed with the Issue and will not be able to settle its liability to Mr Harding-Smith for contractor's fees in scrip.

  • 6.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3

aspects with all existing Shares previously issued by the Company.
Date or dates on which the
Securities were or will be issued
The Company will issue the HS Shares (if Resolution 6 is
approved) as soon as practicable after the Meeting but in any
event no later than three months from the date of the Meeting.
The price or other consideration
the entity has received or will
receive for the issue
The price at which HS Shares will be issued is $0.003 per Share and
total $23,512.50. No cash is raised by the issue of the HS Shares,
as their issue price is being applied to settle a liability of the Company
to Mr Harding-Smith for unpaid contractor's fees
The purpose of the issue, including
the use or intended use of any
funds raised by the issue
The funds raised by the issue of the HS Shares will be used to
clear an accrued liability for contract's fees of $23,512.50 payable
to Mr Harding-Smith, while conserving cash reserves.

Except insofar as the issue price of the HS Shares is being offset

To the extent that its issue capacity is insufficient, the Company will be compelled to pay the cash value of the Lead Manager Options.

HOW TO COMPLETE THIS SHAREHOLDER PROXY FORM

YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS

This is your name and address as it appears on the Company’s share register. If this information is incorrect, please make the correction on the form. Shareholders sponsored by a broker should advise their broker of any changes. Please note: you cannot change ownership of your shares using this form.

APPOINTMENT OF PROXY

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

DEFAULT TO CHAIRMAN OF THE MEETING

Any directed proxies that are not voted on a poll at the Meeting will default to the Chairman of the Meeting, who is required to vote those proxies as directed. Any undirected proxies that default to the Chairman of the Meeting will be voted according to the instructions set out in this Proxy Form.

VOTES ON ITEMS OF BUSINESS – PROXY APPOINTMENT

You may direct your proxy how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes opposite each item 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 item 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 the items of business, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote on that item will be invalid.

APPOINTMENT OF A SECOND PROXY

You are entitled to appoint up to two persons as proxies to participate in the Meeting and vote on a poll. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by telephoning the Company’s share registry or you may copy this form and return them both together.

To appoint a second proxy you must:

  • (a) on each of the first Proxy Form and the second Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or number of shares applicable to that form. If the appointments do not specify the percentage or number of votes that each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half your votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded; and

  • (b) return both forms together.
