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 Quest Innaloo, Conference Room, 1 Sunray Drive, Innaloo at 11.00am WST on Friday, 26 July2024.
The Ratification 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 7 – Approval of Prior Issues of Securities
1.1 Background
During the period 4 April 2024 to 20 June 2024, the Company issued 115,125,000 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 7 in conjunction with any of their associates, hold, either before, during, or after any of the issues the subject of Resolutions 1 to 7, more than 20% of the issued capital of the Company.
1.3 Listing Rule 7.4
Resolutions 1 to 7 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. Resolutions 3 to 6 pertain to ratification of Shares issued under L.R. 7.1 (15% capacity) and Resolutions 1, 3 and 7 pertain to ratification of Shares issued under L.R. 7.1A (10% capacity).
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A in combination limit the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 25% 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 and 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without shareholder approval under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A 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 or 7.1A (as applicable) and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without shareholder approval under those rules.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain prior shareholder approval for such issues. To this end, Resolutions 1 to 7 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 7 is passed, the issues of Shares to investors and creditors will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, 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 7 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 or 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A (as applicable), 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.

The Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares.
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 1 to 7.
1.5 Voting Exclusion Statement

Page | 8
2. Resolution 8 – 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.
Since 15 December 2022, the Company has made various calls on LDA Capital. At present LDA Capital is holding, on account, 51,000,000 shares.
Resolution 8 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 400,000,000 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 are for 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 8 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 8 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 400,000,000.
-
(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.
-
(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 |
|---|---|
| $0.0036 | $1,440,000 |
| $0.0035 | $1,400,000 |
| $0.00034 | $1,360,000 |

451,000,000(44.56%) | 1,012,028,732 |
