EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of 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, 26 May 2023.
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 11 - Ratification of Prior Issues of Securities
1.1 Background
During the period 31 March 2023 to 5 April 2023, the Company issued 500,435,000 Shares 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 Shares.
1.2 Corporations Act
None of the allottees the subject of Resolutions 1 to 11 in conjunction with any of their associates, hold, either before, during, or after any of the issues the subject of Resolutions 1 to 11, more than 20% of the issued capital of the Company.
1.3 Listing Rule 7.4
Resolutions 1 to 11 seek Shareholder ratification of issues of Shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4. The Shares issued are “Equity Securities” for the purposes of the Listing Rules.
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 11 seek Shareholder approval for the issues of Shares to investors and creditors under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
If each of Resolutions 1 to 11 is passed, the issues of Shares 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 Shares to investors and creditors.
If any of Resolutions 1 to 11 is not passed, the Shares 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 Shares.
Relevant information for the purposes of the Listing Rules is provided at section 1.4 below.

2. Resolution 12 – Approval to issue Shares to LDA Capital
2.1 Background[1]
On 15 December 2022, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement with LDA Capital, pursuant to which the Company secured the right to require LDA Capital to subscribe for up $15 million in new Shares by way of the Company exercising put options ( Put Option Agreement ). A summary of the material terms of the Put Option Agreement were included in the announcement.
The Put Option Agreement provides the Company with the flexibility to issue Shares to LDA Capital over the next three years at the Company’s discretion and to receive funds for the issue of those Shares.
On 25 January 2023, Shareholders approved the issue of up 300,000,000 Shares to LDA Capital.
On 3 February 2023, the Company announced that it had issued a “call notice” to LDA Capital targeting an equity drawdown of 212,003,617 Shares under the Put Option Agreement. The Company subsequently issued 142,000,000 Shares to LDA Capital in accordance with the terms of the Put Option Agreement (see ASX announcement dated 21 March 2023) and the Shareholder approval obtained on 25 January 2023. On 18 March 2023, LDA Capital advised Classic that they would, as they are permitted under the agreement, only purchase 142,000,000 shares at a purchase price per call share (90% x 30 trading day average VWAP) of $ 0.00319. This resulted in LDA Capital holding, on account, 70,003,617 shares. These unpaid for shares have now been included into the current Call Notice.
On 31 March 2023, the Company announced that it had issued a “call notice” to LDA Capital for the subscription for 587,996,383 Shares which, in addition to 70,003,617 Shares (being the unsubscribed Shares from the 3 February call) totalled 658,000,000 Shares.
Resolution 12 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 1,500,000,000 Shares to LDA Capital ( LDA Shares ) to provide funding for development of the Company’s Kat Gap gold project. The LDA Shares to be approved include those the subject of the 31 March call notice and further Shares to be issued to LDA Capital under future anticipated call notices.
2.2 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 LDA Shares does not fit within any of these exceptions.
Whilst some of the LDA Shares 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 all the LDA Shares 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 12 is passed, the issue of the LDA Shares 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 12 is not passed, the Company will not issue the LDA Shares and will explore alternative sources of funding.
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 12.
2.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3 for the approval of issue of LDA Shares
Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in respect of Resolution 12:
-
(a) The LDA Shares will be issued to LDA Capital (or its nominee).
-
(b) The maximum number of LDA Shares to be issued is 1,500,000,000.
-
(c) LDA Shares 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.
1 ASX Announcement 15 December 2022.
_________________________ Page | 10
-
(d) The LDA Shares 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 amount of funds that will be received on issue of the LDA Shares will be dependent on the issue price, being 90% of the 30-day VWAP of shares as at the date immediately prior to the Company issuing the LDA Shares ( Issue Price ). As examples:
| Issue Price | Amount raised |
|---|---|
| $0.0020 | $3,000,000 |
| $0.0015 | $2,250,000 |
| $0.0010 | $1,500,000 |
-
(f) The purpose of the issue is to raise working capital for the Kat Gap gold project[2] .
-
(g) The securities are being issued under the LDA Capital transaction, the material terms of which are set out in Annexure A.
-
(h) LDA Capital currently holds 574,000,000 shares representing 14.548% of the Company’s issued capital. (i) Dilutive effect – if:
-
(i) all Shares the subject of Resolution 12 are issued; and
-
(ii) no other Shares are issued to 3[rd] parties; and
-
(iii) LDA Capital does not sell any Shares,
the effect on the Company’s capital structure will be as follows:
| LDA Capital | Company | |
|---|---|---|
| Shares currently on issue | 574,000,000 (14.36%) | 3,997,983,647 |
| Shares on issue if all Resolution 12 Shares are issued to LDA Capital |
2,074,000,000 (37.72%) | 5,497,983,647 |
However, under the Put Option Agreement, the Company is precluded from making any call on LDA Capital which would have the effect of LDA Capital holding more than 19.99% of the total shares on issue in the Company.
(j) If the additional Shares for which approval is sought are issued, at the current share price the Company may expect to raise approx. $1,500,000. Below is a proposed use of funds:
Proposed Use of Funds - Kat Gap Gold Project
| TSF monitoring bores | $ 300,000 |
|---|---|
| Plant Electrical | $ 325,000 |
| Fuel | $ 250,000 |
| Infill drilling | $ 500,000 |
| Wages and camp costs | $ 125,000 |

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.
