NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

New sections 250BB and 250BC of the Corporations Act came into effect on 1 August 2011 and apply to voting by proxy on or after that date. Shareholders and their proxies should be aware of these changes to the Corporations Act, as they will apply to this Meeting. Broadly, the changes mean that:

  • any directed proxies which are not voted will automatically default to the Chair, who must vote the proxies as directed.

Further details on these changes are set out below.

Proxy vote if appointment specifies way to vote

Section 250BB(1) of the Corporations Act provides that an appointment of a proxy may specify the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution and, if it does :

  • the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and

  • if the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution – the proxy must not vote on a show of hands; and

  • if the proxy is the chair of the meeting at which the resolution is voted on – the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and

  • if the proxy is not the chair – the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed).

Transfer of non-chair proxy to chair in certain circumstances

Section 250BC of the Corporations Act provides that, if:

  • an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution at a meeting of the company's members; and

  • the appointed proxy is not the chair of the meeting; and

  • at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded on the resolution; and

  • either of the following applies:

  • the proxy is not recorded as attending the meeting;

  • the proxy does not vote on the resolution,

the chair of the meeting is taken, before voting on the resolution closes, to have been appointed as the proxy for the purposes of voting on the resolution at the meeting.

3.2

Corporations Act

Mrs Samantha Doutch is the spouse of Mr Justin Doutch, Managing Director of Classic minerals Limited. Mrs Doutch was issued 800,000 Shares on 16/02/2015 at an issue price of $0.015 (total value $12,000) and 1,000,000 Shares on 18 June 2015 at an issue price of $0.006 (total value $6,000), both issues being in lieu of creditor payments.

The Board resolved that both of these transactions were on commercial terms and would be deemed reasonable in the circumstances that the Company and Mrs Doutch were dealing at arm’s length. The Board therefore resolved that Shareholder Approval was not required for the purpose of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act at the time of issue of the Shares (exception pursuant to Section 210 of the Corporations Act). Mr Justin Doutch abstained from the resolution relating to these matters.

Apart from Mrs Samantha Doutch, none of the allottees the subject of Resolutions 3 through 12 are related parties to the Company.

Page | 11

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

3.2 Corporations Act (Continued)

None of the allottees the subject of Resolutions 3 through 12, in conjunction with any of their associates, hold, either before, during, or after any of the issues the subject of Resolutions 3 through 12, more than 19.9% of the issued capital of the Company.

3.3 Listing Rule 7.4

Resolutions 3 through 12 seek Shareholder ratification of these issues of Shares pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 and for all other purposes.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period any equity securities or other securities with rights to conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of securities in the same class on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where, pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4, a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

By ratifying the issue of the Shares the subject of Resolutions 3 through 12, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future of up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Unless otherwise stated, none of the Directors have a material personal interest in the subject matter of Resolutions 3 through 12. The Board believes that the ratification of the issues of the Shares is beneficial for the Company. The Board recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 3 through 12 as it provides the Company with the flexibility to issue, subject to the limits under the ASX Listing Rules, further securities during the next 12 months without Shareholder approval.

4. RESOLUTION 13 – RATIFICATION AND APPROVAL TO ISSUE CONVERTIBLE NOTE TO MDVEST PTY LTD

4.1 Background

Resolution 13 seeks Shareholder approval for a Convertible Note issued to Mdvest Pty Ltd pursuant to Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act. Mdvest Pty Ltd is a company related to Marlene Doutch (mother of Justin Doutch). The Board resolved that this transaction is on commercial terms and would be deemed reasonable, or less favourable to Ms Doutch, than in the circumstances that the Company and Ms Doutch were dealing at arm’s length. The Board therefore resolved that Shareholder Approval was not required for the purpose of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act at the time of issue of the Note (exception pursuant to Section 210 of the Corporations Act). Mr Justin Doutch abstained from the resolution relating to this matter. Approval is now sought for Convertible Note to ensure the New Shares may be issued under Listing Rule 7.1 as an exception to the Company’s annual 15% capacity.

The Convertible Note has been issued for a face value of $1,000,000. In the event that the Noteholder decides to exercise the right to convert the Note into Shares, the Shares will be issued at $0.03 per Share. The maximum number of Shares to be issue is therefore 33,333,333.

As at the date of this Notice the Company has 307,270,465 Shares on issue.

Funds raised by this Convertible Note will be used for the continued exploration of the Company’s portfolio of exploration assets, specifically the Fraser Range Mammoth Nickel Discovery. Any surplus funds will be used for general working capital purposes, review and analysis of new projects.

4.2 Specific information required

For the purposes of Shareholder approval for the authority to issue Shares and the requirements of Listing Rule 7.3, the information is provided as follows:

  • (a) The maximum number of New Shares to be issued is 33,333,333.

  • (b) The Shares will be allotted to Mdvest Pty Ltd. Mdvest Pty Ltd will not hold more than 19.9% of the issued capital of the Company either before or after the issue of the New Shares.

  • (c) The shares will be issued at $0.03 per New Share.

  • (d) The Shares will be issued upon receipt of a conversion notice from the Noteholder. The Note can be converted into Shares anytime before 26 August 2016.

  • (e) Interest accrues on the Convertible Note at 17.5%per annum.

  • (f) Funds raised by this Convertible Note will be used for the continued exploration of the Company’s portfolio of exploration assets, specifically the Fraser Range Mammoth Nickel Discovery. Any surplus funds will be used for general working capital purposes, review and analysis of new projects.

5.4 Directors’ recommendation

None of the Directors have a material personal interest in the subject matter of Resolution 14. The Board recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 14 as it will provide additional working capital to the Company and means that the Shares the subject of this Resolution will not need to be counted as part of the Company’s 15% placement capacity, giving the Company the flexibility to issue further securities representing up to 15% of the Company’s share capital without Shareholder approval.
