CLASSIC MINERALS LIMITED

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the General Meeting of Classic Minerals Limited to be held at the Ibis Perth, Sugar Room, 334 Murray Street at 11.00am WST on Friday, 8 July 2022.
The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting (of which this Explanatory Statement forms a part).
1. Resolutions 1 to 12- Ratification of Prior Issues of Securities
1.1 Background
During the last 3 months, the Company issued 3,985,308,823 Securities without disclosure to investors and/or creditors under the exceptions provided in section 708 of the Corporations Act. The investors and/or creditors were not related parties of the Company. The Company had sufficient placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 for all the issues of Securities.
1.2 Corporations Act
None of the allottees the subject of Resolutions 1 to 12, in conjunction with any of their associates, hold, either before, during, or after any of the issues the subject of Resolutions 1 to 12, more than 20% of the issued capital of the Company.
1.3 Listing Rule 7.4
Resolutions 1 to 12 seek Shareholder ratification of issues of Securities pursuant to Listing Rule 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 securities it had on issue at the start of that period. The issues of Shares to investors and creditors referred to above do not fit within any of these exceptions and, as those issues have not yet been approved by shareholders, they effectively use up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following the dates of the issues of 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 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 that rule.
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. To this end, Resolutions 1 to 12 seek Shareholder approval for the issues of Equity Securities to investors and creditors under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
If each of Resolutions 1 to 12 is passed, the issues of Securities to investors and creditors 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 issues of Securities to investors and creditors.
If any of Resolutions 1 to 12 is not passed, the Securities issued in respect of that Resolution will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of that issue of Securities.
Relevant information for the purposes of the Listing Rules is provided at section 1.4 below.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
2. Resolution 13 – Consolidation
2.1 Background
Resolution 13 seeks Shareholder approval for the consolidation of the Company’s Securities on issue on a 1:150 basis ( Consolidation ). The basis for the Consolidation is to ensure a more appropriate capital structure for the Company going forward and a resultant trading price of the Company’s shares that is suitable for a wider range of investors.
The Directors intend to implement the Consolidation immediately after the Meeting, such that all Securities to be issued in accordance with Resolutions 14 to 17 will be issued on a “post-Consolidation” basis.
2.2 Corporations Act – requirement for shareholder approval
Section 254H(1) of the Corporations Act provides that a Company may, by resolution passed at a General Meeting, convert all or any of its shares into a larger or smaller number.
The Listing Rules require that where a Consolidation occurs in respect of ordinary share capital, the number of options in respect of any of those Shares be consolidated in the same ratio and the exercise price be amended in inverse proportion to that ratio.
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 13.
2.3 Fractional entitlements
Not all Shareholders will hold a number of Shares that can be evenly divided by 150. Any fractional entitlements of Shareholders as a consequence of the Consolidation will be rounded down to the nearest whole number.
2.4 Capital structure and taxation implications
The effect on the capital structure of the Company of the Consolidation is shown in the table below. Subject to rounding, Shareholders’ proportional holding of Shares will not be affected by the Consolidation.
| Securities | Pre-Consolidation | Post-Consolidation* |
|---|---|---|
| Shares on issue | 31,024,646,554 | 206,830,978 |
| Options on issue | 5,242,872,355 | 34,952,482 |
| Performance Rights on issue | 1,400,000,000 | 9,333,333 |
(*subject to rounding and fractional entitlements)
It is not considered that the Consolidation should have any taxation consequences for Shareholders. However, Shareholders are encouraged to seek their own tax advice on the effect of the Consolidation. Neither the Company nor the Directors accept any responsibility for the individual taxation implications arising from the Consolidation or other Resolutions the subject of this Notice.
2.5 Holding statements and certificates

3. Resolution 14 – Approval to Issue Convertible Notes
3.1 Background
Resolution 14 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of Convertible Notes to raise up to $4.0 million ( Convertible Notes ).
The Convertible Notes are convertible into Shares and free attaching Options on the basis of one (1) Option for every two (2) Shares issued on conversion.
3.2 Requirement for shareholder approval
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 Securities it had on issue at the start of that period. Convertible Notes are Equity Securities for the purposes of the Listing Rules. The issue of the Convertible Notes does not fit within any of the exceptions.
Whilst the Convertible Notes could be issued using the Company’s 15% capacity, the Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. To do this, the Company is asking Shareholders to approve the issue of the Convertible Notes under Listing Rule 7.1 so that it does not use up any of the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 14 is passed, the issue of the Convertible Notes can proceed without using up any of the Company’s 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 14 is not passed, the Company will not issue any Convertible Notes and will seek funding from alternative sources.
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 14.
3.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3 for the approval of issues of Securities
Pursuant Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in respect of Resolution 14:
- (a) the Convertible Notes will be issued to investors selected by Still Capital, in consultation with the Company, based on their status as professional, experienced or sophisticated investors under

section 708 of the Corporations Act and in accordance with their risk profiles and experience dealing in speculative investments in the resource exploration sector. None of the investors are related parties of the Company;
-
(b) the maximum number of Convertible Notes to be issued is 160. The maximum number of Shares ( Conversion Shares ) and Options ( Conversion Options ) which may be issued on conversion of Convertible Notes is dependent on the price at which Convertible Notes are converted ( Conversion Price ) – see Section 3.3(f) below;
-
(c) the Conversion Shares, and Shares issued on exercise of Conversion Options, will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;
-
(d) the Convertible Notes will be issued on a date which will be not more than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules);
-
(e) the face value of each Convertible Note is $25,000;
-
(f) the Conversion Price is the lesser of:
-
(i) $0.075 per Share (on a post-Consolidation basis); and
-
(ii) a 20% discount to the 15-day VWAP of Shares as at the day immediately preceding the date on which the Convertible Note(s) is/are converted.
Based on the above metrics, the maximum number of Securities (on a post-Consolidation basis) that may be issued on conversion of Convertible Notes is as follows:
| Conversion Price | Conversion Shares | Conversion Options |
|---|---|---|
| $0.075 | 53,333,333 | 26,666,667 |
| $0.06 | 66,666,667 | 33,333,333 |
| $0.045 | 88,888,889 | 44,444,444 |
The Directors note that, based on the conversion ratio of 1:150 referred to in Section 2.1 and the current market price (of $0.001), the notional market price post-Consolidation will be $0.15. The Directors therefore expect that there is a reasonable prospect that the Convertible Notes will convert at the capped Conversion Price of $0.075. This would represent a discount to the notional post-Consolidation market price of 50%.
However, as there is no floor to the Conversion Price, the issue of Conversion Shares could be highly dilutive if the market price of Shares falls substantially below the notional post-Consolidation market price over the period between when the Convertible Notes are issued and when they are converted;
-
(g) the funds raised from the issue of the Convertible Notes will be used for the development of mining activities at the Company’s Kat Gap gold project; and
-
(h) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
4. Resolutions 15 and 16 – Approval to Issue Advisor Securities to Still Capital 4.1 Background
On 11 April 2022, the Company entered into a mandate agreement with Still Capital, pursuant to which Still Capital agreed to arrange the placement of Shares.
As consideration for Still Capital’s services, the Company has agreed to pay the following fees:
- Sign on fee - $100,000 to cover share holder management, documentation drafting and associated development costs and expenses to be paid post completion of the issue of Convertible Notes;
______________________Page | 14
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
-
Success fee – 2.5 million Shares (on a post-Consolidation basis) ( Advisor Shares ) and 5.0 million Options ( Advisor Options ) (together, Advisor Securities ) on completion of $2,500,000 injected into the Company by way of the issue of the Convertible Notes ; and
-
Capital raising fee - 3% (plus GST) of the total funds received under the placement of the Convertible Notes .
Resolutions 15 and 16 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the Advisor Securities to Still Capital as a success fee.
4.2 Requirement for shareholder approval
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 Securities it had on issue at the start of that period. The issue of the Advisor Shares does not fit within any of these exceptions.
Whilst the Advisor Securities could be issued using the Company’s 15% capacity, the Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. To do this, the Company is asking Shareholders to approve the issue of the Advisor Securities under Listing Rule 7.1 so that it does not use up any of the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolutions 15 and 16 are passed, the issue of the Advisor Securities can proceed without using up any of the Company’s 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without shareholder approval set out in listing rule 7.1.
If either of Resolutions 15 and 16 is not passed, the Company will not issue any Advisor Securities and the Company will pay Still Capital a cash equivalent (based on a deemed issue price for Advisor Shares of $0.075).
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 15 and 16.
4.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3 for the approval of issues of Securities
Pursuant Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in respect of Resolutions 15 and 16:
-
(a) the Advisor Securities will be issued to Still Capital (or its nominees);
-
(b) the maximum number of Advisor Securities to be issued is
-
(iii) 2,500,000 Advisor Shares; and
-
(iv) 5,000,000 Advisor Options;
-
(c) the Advisor Options will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1;
-
(d) the Advisor Shares, and Shares issued on exercise of Advisor Options, will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;
-
(e) the Advisor Securities will be issued on a date which will be not more than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules);
-
(f) the deemed issue price of Advisor Shares will be $0.075 (on a post-Consolidation basis);
-
(g) no funds will be received from the issue of the Advisor Shares as they are to be issued as a fee for advisory services provided by Still Capital. If all Advisor Options are exercised, the Company will raise $2.25 million in fresh capital; and
-
(h) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
5. Resolution 17 – Amendment to the Constitution
5.1 Background
Unmarketable Parcels
Following the Consolidation, if approved, the Directors may consider whether it is in the Company’s interest to undertake a sale of non-Marketable Parcels. In order to do so, the Directors require power under the Constitution to undertake that course of action.
Restricted securities
A constitutional amendment is proposed to comply with the requirements of Listing Rule 15.12.
5.2 Requirement for shareholder approval
Under section 136(2) of the Corporations Act, a company may modify or repeal its constitution or a provision of its constitution by special resolution of Shareholders.
Resolution 17 seeks the approval of Shareholders to modify the Company's Constitution as set out in Schedule 2.
A copy of the amended constitution is available for review by Shareholders at the office of the Company. A copy of the amended constitution can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary. Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.
Resolution 17 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).
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 17.
5.3 Proposed amendments

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.
