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, 24 May 2024.
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 8 – Approval of Prior Issues of Securities
1.1 Background
During the period 1 March 2024 to 3 April 2024, the Company issued 46,654,000 (post consolidation) 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 8 in conjunction with any of their associates, hold, either before, during, or after any of the issues the subject of Resolutions 1 to 8, more than 20% of the issued capital of the Company.
1.3 Listing Rule 7.4
Resolutions 1 to 8 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 8 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 8 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 8 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.

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 8.
1.5 Voting Exclusion Statement
A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice in respect of each of Resolutions 1 to 8.
Page | 8
2. Resolution 9 – Approval for the issue of Convertible Notes to Whead Pty Ltd
2.1 Background
Whead Pty Ltd ACN 165 309 651 ( Whead ) has advanced funds to the Company, on multiple dates and of varying amounts. The Company, in consultation with Whead, has agreed to consolidate all amounts owing into one loan which has a current outstanding loan amount of $2,100,000 ( Loan ).
Whead has requested that the Loan be converted to a series of convertible notes, with each note holding a face value of $50,000 (the Convertible Notes ).
Resolution 9 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of Convertible Notes to repay the Loan.
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 Convertible Notes are Equity Securities for the purposes of the Listing Rules. The issue of the Convertible Notes does not fit within any of these exceptions.
Whilst some of 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 all 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 9 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 9 is not passed, the Company will not issue the Convertible Notes and will explore alternative sources of repayment of the Loan.
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 9.
2.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3 for the approval of issue of Convertible Notes
Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in respect of Resolution 9:
-
(a) the Convertible Notes will be issued to Whead;
-
(b) the Convertible Notes will be issued on 05 May 2024, subject to shareholder approval;
-
(c) the maximum number of Convertible Notes to be issued is 42. The maximum number of Shares which may be issued on conversion of Convertible Notes ( Conversion Shares ) is dependent on the price at which Convertible Notes are converted ( Conversion Price ) – see Section 2.3(f) below;
-
(d) the Conversion Shares issued on conversion of Convertible Notes 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 face value of each Convertible Note is $50,000;
-
(f) the Conversion Price is a 20% discount to the 10-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 Conversion Shares that may be issued on conversion of all Convertible Notes is as follows:
| Conversion Price | Conversion Shares |
|---|---|
| $0.016 | 131,250,000 |
| $0.008 | 262,500,000 |
| $0.004 | 525,000,000 |
Page | 9
The Directors note that, 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 over the period between when the Convertible Notes are issued and when they are converted;
-
(g) no funds will be raised from the issue of the Convertible Notes which are to be used to repay the Loan; and
-
(h) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
3. Resolution 10 – Approval to issue Shares to Reed Exploration Pty Ltd
3.1 Background
On 3 October 2023, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement with Reed Exploration Pty Ltd ( Reed Exploration ), a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX-listed Redivium Limited (formerly known as Hannans Ltd) (ASX: RIL), to purchase the mining tenements comprising the Forrestania Gold Project (other than the tenements comprising the Kat Gap discovery, which are already owned by Classic) ( FGP Tenements ).
The key terms of the agreement included an obligation to issue Reed Exploration 10,000,000 Shares at a deemed issue price of $0.05 per Share (on a post-Consolidation basis) ( Consideration Shares ).
On 29 November 2023, Shareholders approved the issue of the Consideration Shares. However, due to circumstances beyond the parties’ control, the Consideration Shares were not able to be issued within the required 3-month period. Accordingly, Resolution 10 seeks Shareholder re-approval for the issue of the Consideration Shares.
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. The issue of the Consideration Shares does not fit within any of these exceptions.
Whilst the Consideration 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 Consideration 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 10 is passed, the issue of the Consideration 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 10 is not passed, the Consideration Shares will not be issued and the acquisition of the FGP Tenements will not proceed.
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 10.
3.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3 for the approval of issue of Consideration Shares
Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in respect of Resolution 10:
-
(a) The Consideration Shares will be issued to Reed Exploration (or its nominee).
-
(b) The maximum number of Consideration Shares to be issued is 10,000,000.

(e) As consideration for the issue of the Consideration Shares, the Company will receive a 100% legal and beneficial interest in the FGP Tenements.
