AEDT on 22 February 2025 is entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting in
respect of those Shares. If you are not the registered holder of a Share at
that time, you will not be entitled to vote at the Meeting in respect of that

A proxy need not be a Shareholder of the Company; and

A Shareholder who is entitled to cast 2 or more votes may appoint
2 proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each
proxy is appointed to exercise. If the Shareholder appoints 2

a proxy may specify the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution
and, if it does:

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

an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on
a particular resolution at a meeting of 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:

Explanatory Statement

Introduction

The Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the purposes of the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules. The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide Shareholders with all the information known to the Company that is material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to approve the Resolutions as set out in the Notice.

The Directors recommend that Shareholders read this Explanatory Statement in full and in conjunction with the Notice before making any decisions in relation to the proposed Resolutions.

Items of Business

1. Resolutions 1, 3 and 6 - Approval of issue of Directors Options to Related Parties (or their nominees)

1.1 Background

On 1 December 2024, the Company appointed Mr Mark Burke and Ms Linqun Li (also known as Ms Quinn Lee), respectively, as Managing Director and Non-Executive Director of the Company. It is noted that, prior to her appointment as a director, Ms Quinn Lee had performed management consulting tasks since the start of 2024.

On 16 December 2024, Dr Minlu Fu was also appointed as a Non-Executive Director of the Company. Dr Fu was an integral part of the Company’s management team in the past year, having led the georgical and exploration function of the Company.

In order to remunerate and incentivise the Directors and Key Management Personnel, the Company is proposing to issue the following Director Options for nil consideration as follows:

Resolution Director/KMP Director
Options
Class Reasons
1 Mr Mark Burke
(Managing
Director)
2,000,000 Class B To remunerate and
incentivise Mr Mark
Burke
3,000,000 Class C
3 Dr Minlu Fu
(Non-Executive
Director and a
KMP)
16,000,000 Class A To remunerate for

the 2024 calendar
year in lieu of fees
6 Ms Quinn Lee
(Non-Executive
Director)
16,000,000 Class A To remunerate for
services provided for
the 2024 calendar
year in lieu of fees
Total 37,000,000

The Resolutions 1, 3 and 6 are ordinary resolutions which seek Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 37,000,000 Director Options to the Directors of the Company (or their nominees) for nil consideration as detailed in the table above.

14

1.2 Key terms of Director Options

Each Director Option (once vested) entitles its holder to subscribe for one Share upon exercise of the Director Option.

Provided that the holder or its associated Director remains a Director or employee of the Company on the applicable Vesting Date, each Director Option will vest on that Vesting Date and, thereafter, will be exercisable at the election of its holder at the exercise price of $0.012 per Option on or before the applicable Expiry Date, as detailed in the table below:

Class Exercise Price Expiry Date Vesting Date
Class A –
Director
Options
$0.012 3 years from the date
of issue of the
Director Options
N/A – Vesting immediately upon
issue
Class B –
Director
Options
$0.012 3 years from the date
of issue of the
Director Options
First anniversary of the relevant
Director’s appointment as a
director.
Class C –
Director
Options
$0.012 3 years from the date
of issue of the
Director Options
Second anniversary of the
Director’s appointment as a
director

As noted above, the Class B and Class C Director Options are intended to be issued to Mr Mark Burke only, and no Class B and Class C Director Options will be issued to the other Directors (namely, Dr Minlu Fu and Ms Quinn Lee), pursuant to the Resolutions.

If Resolution 1 is passed, the Vesting Date for the Class B and Class C Director Options to be issued to Mr Mark Burke (or his nominee) will be 30 November 2025 (Class B) and 30 November 2026 (Class C).

A Director Option held by a Holder will automatically lapse on the earlier of:

  • (a) the Expiry Date applicable to that Director Option; or

  • (b) in case of unvested Director Options only, the date when the relevant Director or KMP ceases to be a director, employee or consultant of the Company for any reason (other than due to retirement as a director of the Company by rotation at the annual general meeting of the Company, if that person is re- elected at that meeting).

For the avoidance of doubt, if a Director resigns from or ceases their directorship and immediately transitions to an employee or consultancy role, this shall not cause an unvested Director Option to lapse under item (b) above.

The full terms of the Directors Options are set out in Annexure A of this Notice.

1.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

For a public company to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months follow such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

15

A “related party” for the purposes of the Corporations Act is widely defined and includes a director of a public company, a spouse of a director of a public company or an entity controlled by a director of a public company. The definition of “related party” also includes a person whom there is reasonable grounds to believe will become a “related party” of a public company.

The proposed issue of Director Options constitutes giving a financial benefit to a related party as each of Mr Mark Burke, Dr Minlu Fu and Ms Quinn Lee qualify as related parties by virtue of being Directors of the Company, as defined by reference to section 228 of the Corporations Act.

The Board (other than Mr Mark Burke in respect of Resolution 1, other than Dr Minlu Fu in respect of Resolution 3, other than Ms Quinn Lee in respect of Resolution 6) carefully considered the issue of the Director Options to each of the Directors and Key Management Personnel, the subject of Resolutions 1, 3 and 6 (as applicable) and formed the view that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of those issues because they form part of the respective remuneration to each applicable Director and Key Management Personnel as an officer of the Company and the remuneration is reasonable given the applicable Director’s and Key Management Personnel’s circumstances and the circumstances of the Company.

Accordingly, approval will not be sought under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act for the issue of the Directors Options on the basis that the issue of the Directors Options constitutes “reasonable remuneration” in accordance with section 211 of the Corporations Act.

1.4 ASX Listing Rule 10.11

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that, unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue Equity Securities (which includes ordinary shares, options and performance rights to acquire ordinary shares) to:

  • 10.11.1 - a Related Party;

  • 10.11.2 – a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;

  • 10.11.3 - a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the entity and who has nominated a director to the board of the entity (in the case of a trust, to the board of the responsible entity of the trust) pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;

  • 10.11.4 – an associate of a person referred to in ASX Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or

  • 10.11.5 – a person whose relationship with the entity or a person referred to in ASX Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it has obtained the approval of its shareholders.

Mr Mark Burke, Dr Minlu Fu and Ms Quinn Lee are all considered Related Parties” for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11.1.

It is in the view of the Company that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the issue of Director Options to each of the Directors (or their nominees) under ASX Listing Rule 10.11.

16

1.5 Directors’ Interests

As at the date of this Notice, each of the Directors’ Interests in the securities of the Company are set out in Schedule 1.

If Resolutions 1, 3 and 6 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Options to the Directors within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Director Options (because approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Director Options will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolutions 1, 3 and/or 6 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Options to the relevant Directors, and the Company may need to pay those Directors an amount of cash remuneration that would be comparable to them not receiving the relevant Director Options in order to retain or continue to retain the services of those Directors.

Each of Resolutions 1, 3 and 6 are independent of all other Resolutions.

1.7 Technical Information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13

For the avoidance of doubt, if a Director resigns from or ceases their directorship and immediately transitions to an employee or consultancy role (or vice versa), this shall not cause an unvested Performance Option to lapse under item (b) above.

The full terms of the Performance Options are set out in Annexure B of this Notice.

2.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

For a public company to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the company's members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months follow such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

A “related party” for the purposes of the Corporations Act is widely defined and includes a director of a public company, a spouse of a director of a public company or an entity controlled by a director of a public company. The definition of “related party” also includes a person whom there is reasonable grounds to believe will become a “related party” of a public company.

23

The proposed issue of Performance Options constitutes giving a financial benefit to a related party as both Dr Minlu Fu and Ms Quinn Lee qualify as related parties by virtue of being directors of the Company, as defined by reference to section 228 of the Corporations Act.

Mr Wanfu Huang is a former director of the Company, having resigned as director on 29 November 2024. While Mr Wanfu Huang is no longer a director of the Company, he is considered Key Management Personnel as he provides services to the Company as a Senior Consultant Geologist and is considered a related party for having been a director of the Company in the previous 6 months.

The Board (other than Dr Minlu Fu in respect of Resolution 4 and other than Ms Quinn Lee in respect of Resolution 7) carefully considered the issue of the Performance Options to each of the Directors and Key Management Personnel, the subject of Resolutions 4, 7 and 9 (as applicable) and formed the view that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of those issues because they form part of the respective remuneration to each applicable Director and Key Management Personnel as an officer of the Company and the remuneration is reasonable given the applicable Director’s and Key Management Personnel’s circumstances and the circumstances of the Company.

Accordingly, approval will not be sought under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act for the issue of the Performance Options as the issue of the Performance Options constitutes “reasonable remuneration” in accordance with section 211 of the Corporations Act.

2.4 ASX Listing Rule 10.11

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that, unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue Equity Securities (which includes ordinary shares, options and performance rights to acquire ordinary shares) to:

  • 10.11.1 - a Related Party;

  • 10.11.2 - a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;

  • 10.11.3 - a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the entity and who has nominated a director to the board of the entity (in the case of a trust, to the board of the responsible entity of the trust) pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;

  • 10.11.4 - an associate of a person referred to in ASX Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or

  • 10.11.5 - a person whose relationship with the entity or a person referred to in ASX Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it has obtained approval of its shareholders.

Dr Minlu Fu, Ms Quinn Lee and Dr Wanfu Huang are all considered "Related Parties" for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11.1.

It is in the view of the Company that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, shareholder approval is sought for the issue of Performance Options to each of the Directors (or their nominees) and Key Management Personnel in accordance with the above.

24

Resolutions 4, 7 and 9 seeks the required Shareholder approval to the issue of Director Options, respectively, to Dr Minlu Fu, Ms Quinn Lee and Dr Wanfu Huang (or their respective nominees) under and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11.

2.5 Directors’ Interests

As approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Performance Options (because approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Performance Options will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolutions 4, 7 and/or 9 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Performance Options to the relevant Related Parties (i.e. Dr Minlu Fu, Ms Quinn Lee and/or Dr Wanfu Huang), and the Company may need to pay those Related Parties an amount of cash remuneration that would be comparable to them not receiving the relevant Performance Options in order to retain or continue to retain the services of those Related Parties.

Each of Resolutions 1, 3 and 6 are independent of all other Resolutions.

The Company is in an important stage of development with significant opportunities and challenges in both the near and long-term, and the proposed grant of the Performance Rights seeks to align the efforts of the Directors and KMP in seeking to achieve growth of the Share price and in the creation of the Shareholder value.

In addition, the Board also believes that incentivising with Performance Rights is a prudent means of conserving the Company’s available cash reserves.

In view of the above, the Board (other than Mr Mark Burke (in respect of Resolution 2), Dr Minlu Fu (in respect of Resolution 5), and Ms Quinn Lee (in respect of Resolution 8) believes it is important to offer the Performance Rights to the Directors and KMP in the quantities set out in the table above, and they are appropriate and reasonable, having regard to the following:

  • (a) Dr Minlu Fu has strong experience in the region where the Company’s projects are located, having been involved in the discovery of the Earnest Henry copper-gold deposit, as announced by the Company on 2 and 16 December 2024. His experience and knowledge in the region is therefore critical to the success of our exploration for discovery and defining resources. Dr Minlu Fu has significant experience as a company director, and is also a director of Aldoro Resources Ltd (ASX: ARN), leveraging his Geology knowledge and expertise to build value for shareholders;

  • (b) Ms Quinn Lee has over 20 years of experience in the resources and development sectors. In addition, she has extensive expertise in asset divestment and project financing, having successfully led numerous significant asset sales for private and listed companies, and ensuring proper value recognition for Shareholders. Ms Quinn Lee has significant experience as a company director, and is also a director of Aldoro Resources Ltd (ASX: ARN), leveraging her business management skills, knowledge and expertise to build value for shareholders;

  • (c) whilst Dr Wanfu Huang has resigned as a managing director of the Company, he continues to be a KMP with the Company particularly around consulting and managing parts of the Company’s geology tasks and providing key strategic support to the Company regarding its mergers and acquisition’s plans;

  • (d) as noted in sections 1 and 2 above, Mr Mark Burke’s total remuneration package as at the date of this Notice comprise of total fixed remuneration of $250,000 plus statutorily required amount of superannuation; however, Dr Minlu Fu and Ms Quinn

31

Lee are not currently receiving cash remuneration, and have not been renumerated for their services during the 2024 calendar year;

  • (e) the Director Options and the Performance Options are intended to be issued to the Directors and KMP (as applicable) in order to remunerate the relevant Grantees for their services provided or to be provided to the Company, whereas the Performance Rights are intended to incentivise the Directors and Dr Wanfu Huang to manage the operations of the Company in such a manner which will (insofar as it is reasonably possible) accelerate discovery of the required quantity of the Mineral Resources with the grades needed to proceed with the next phrase of the Company’s projects; and

  • (f) The achievement of the Milestone applicable to each Performance Right is expected to lead to a significant increase or accretion in the value of the Company.

The Resolutions 2, 5, 8 and 10 are ordinary resolutions which seek the grant of up to 157,000,000 Performance Rights to the Directors and Key Management Personnel of the Company (or their nominees) for nil consideration as detailed in the table above.

3.2 Key terms of Performance Rights

Each Performance Right confers its holder a contractual right to receive one Share issued in the capital of the Company if the Milestones are satisfied within the applicable Performance Period (and, hence, the Performance Rights vest immediately upon satisfaction of the applicable Milestones), as detailed in the table below:

date of the grant of
the Performance
Rights

For the purpose of the Milestones in respect of Class F, G and H Performance Rights:

  • (a) Copper-Equivalent means a formula used to convert grades of various metals in an intersection or sample to a single metal value by assigning a recoverable economic value for each component and express the results in the Copper metal present.

  • (b) The copper equivalent grades will be calculated in accordance with paragraph 50 of the JORC Code and include copper, zinc, lead, molybdenum, nickel, gold, silver, platinum, palladium and/or rhodium.

The unvested Performance Rights issued to a holder will expire and lapse automatically on the earliest of the following to occur:

  • (a) where the holder (or his, her or its associate) is an executive or managing director or an employee of the Company as at the date of grant of the Performance Rights, that holder (or his, her or its associate) ceases to be an executive or managing director or an employee of the Company for any reasons (other than due to retirement as an executive director or managing director by rotation at a General Meeting, if that holder or his, her or its associate is re-elected as an executive or managing director at that General Meeting); or

  • (b) where the holder (or his, her or its associate) is a non-executive director or designated technical consultant as at the date of grant of the Performance Rights, that holder (or

33

his, her or its associate) ceases to be a director or designated technical consultant for any reasons (other than due to retirement as a director by rotation at a General Meeting, if that holder or his, her or its associate is re-elected as a director at that General Meeting) within the first 12 months from the date of grant of those Performance Rights; or

  • (c) the expiration of the Performance Period applicable to the relevant Performance Rights.

For the avoidance of doubt, if a holder (or his, her or its associate) resigns from or ceases their directorship, employment or consultancy role and immediately transitions to another directorship, employee or consultancy role in the Company (as applicable), this shall not cause an unvested Performance Right to lapse under items (a) or (b) above.

It is noted that, if the Resolutions 5, 8 and 10 are passed, any unvested Performance Rights granted to Dr Minlu Fu, Ms Quinn Lee and Dr Wanfu Huang will only lapse under paragraph (b) or (c) above, as they are currently non-executive directors of the Company. This is because Dr Minlu Fu, Ms Quinn Lee and Dr Wanfu Huang are not currently, and they will not at the time of grant of the Performance Rights (if Resolutions 5, 8 and 10 are passed), executive or managing directors or employees of the Company, and the Board (with Dr Minlu Fu abstaining at the time when Resolution 5 was considered, and Ms Quinn Lee abstaining at the time when Resolution 8 was considered) considers that their respective services as non-executive directors and technical consultant during the first 12 months from grant are the most critical period of time for the development of the Company and laying the groundwork for the exploration success to be achieved through the potential resource discovery. It is noted that for the purposes of the issue of the Performance Rights, Dr Wanfu Huang is a designated technical consultant for whom paragraph (b) above applies.

If the Resolution 2 is passed, any unvested Performance Rights granted to Mr Mark Burke (or his nominee) could lapse under paragraph (a) or (c) above, as he is currently an executive or managing director or an employee of the Company.

The full terms and conditions of the Performance Rights are set out in Annexure C.

The Performance Rights that are subject of these Resolutions are intended to align the interests of the Directors and Key Management Personnel to the Company’s performance.

3.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

For a public company to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (a) give the benefit within 15 months follow such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

A “related party” for the purposes of the Corporations Act is widely defined and includes a director of a public company, a spouse of a director of a public company or an entity controlled by a director of a public company. The definition of “related party” also includes a person whom there is reasonable grounds to believe will become a “related party” of a public company.

The proposed issue of Performance Rights constitutes giving a financial benefit to a related party. Each of Mr Mark Burke, Dr Minlu Fu and Ms Quinn Lee qualify as related parties by

34

virtue of being directors of the Company, as defined by reference to section 228 of the Corporations Act.

Dr Wanfu Huang is a former director of the Company, having resigned as director on 29 November 2024. While Dr Wanfu Huang is no longer a director of the Company, he is considered a related party as he ceased being a director of the Company within the previous 6 months.

The Board (other than Mr Mark Burke in respect of Resolution 2, other than Dr Minlu Fu in respect of Resolution 5, other than Ms Quinn Lee in respect of Resolution 8) carefully considered the issue of the Director Options to each of the Directors and Key Management Personnel, the subject of Resolutions 2, 5, 8 and 10 (as applicable) and formed the view that shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of those issues because they form part of the respective remuneration to each Mr Mark Burke, Dr Minlu Fu, Ms Quinn Lee and Dr Wanfu Huang (as applicable) as a Director or Key Management Personnel of the Company and the remuneration is reasonable given the applicable Director’s and Key management Personnel’s circumstances and the circumstances of the Company.

Accordingly, approval will not be sought under Chapter 2E for the issue of the Directors Options as the issue of the Performance Rights constitutes “reasonable remuneration” in accordance with section 211 of the Corporations Act.

3.4 ASX Listing Rule 10.11

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that, unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue Equity Securities (which includes ordinary shares, options and performance rights to acquire ordinary shares) to:

  • 10.11.1 – a Related Party;

  • 10.11.2 – a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;

  • 10.11.3 – a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the entity and who has nominated a director to the board of the entity (in the case of a trust, to the board of the responsible entity of the trust) pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;

  • 10.11.4 – an associate of a person referred to in ASX Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or

  • 10.11.5 – a person whose relationship with the entity or a person referred to in ASX Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it has obtained approval from its shareholders.

Mr Mark Burke, Dr Minlu Fu, Ms Quinn Lee and Dr Wanfu Huang are all considered “Related Parties” for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11.1.

It is in the view of the Company that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, shareholder approval is sought for the issue of Performance Rights to each of the Directors and Key Management Personnel (or their respective nominees) in accordance with the above.

35

Resolutions 2, 5, 8 and 10 seeks the required Shareholder approval to the issue of Director Options, respectively, to Mr Mark Burke, Dr Minlu Fu, Ms Quinn Lee and Dr Wanfu Huang (or their respective nominees) under and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11.

3.5 Directors’ Interests

As at the date of this Notice, each of the Directors’ and Dr Wanfu Huang’s interests in the securities of the Company are set out in Schedule 1.

3.6 Technical Information Required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 2, 5, 8 and 10 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Performance Rights to the Related Parties (i.e. Mr Mark Burke, Dr Minlu fu, Ms Quinn Lee and Dr Wanfu Huang) within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Performance Rights (because approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Performance Rights will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolutions 2, 5, 8 and/or 10 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the grant of the Performance Rights to the relevant Related Parties (i.e. Mr Mark Burke, Dr Minlu fu, Ms Quinn Lee and/or Dr Wanfu Huang), and the Company may need to pay those Related Parties an amount of cash remuneration that would be comparable to them not receiving the relevant Performance Rights in order to retain or continue to retain the services of those Related Parties.

Each of Resolutions 2, 5, 8 and 10 are independent of all other Resolutions.

3.9 Other Considerations

The Board notes that advantages may accrue to the Company and Shareholders as result of passing of Resolutions 2, 5, 8 and 10.

40

of Shareholders' interest in the Company in circumstances where the Performance Rights convert into Shares.

To the extent permitted by law, it is the intention of the Chairperson of the Meeting to vote all undirected proxies granted to him in favour of the Resolutions 2, 5, 8 and 10, subject to the Voting Exclusion Statement and the Voting Prohibition Statement on Pages 9 and 10 of this Notice.

4. Resolution 11 - Approval of Issue of Shares to a Related Party (or their nominee) – Mr Mark Burke, Director of the Company

4.1 Background

Resolution 11 seeks Shareholder approval to issue and allot an aggregate total of 5,000,000 shares at $0.01 per Share ( Director Placement Shares ) subject to Shareholder approval. The Director Placement Shares are proposed to be issued to Mr Mark Burke, Director of the Company for cash consideration of $50,000.

Mr Mark Burke is a current Director of the Company, the issue of the Director Placement Shares are subject to the Company obtaining Shareholder approval. Resolution 11 seeks Shareholder approval to issue the Director Placement Shares to Mr Mark Burke (or his nominee).

4.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

For a public company to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company must:

  • (b) obtain the approval of the company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (c) give the benefit within 15 months follow such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

A “related party” for the purposes of the Corporations Act is widely defined and includes a director of a public company, a spouse of a director of a public company or an entity controlled by a director of a public company. The definition of “related party” also includes a person whom there is reasonable grounds to believe will become a “related party” of a public company.

The proposed issue of the Director Placement Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit to a related party. Mr Mark Burke is a related party by virtue of being a director of the Company, as defined by reference to section 228 of the Corporations Act.

The Board (other than Mr Mark Burke in respect of Resolution 11) carefully considered the issue of the Director Placement Shares to Mr Mark Burke, the subject of Resolution 11 and formed the view that shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue because the financial benefit is reasonable and on arms-length terms.

Accordingly, approval will not be sought under Chapter 2E for the issue of the Director Placement Shares falls within the arm’s length terms exception as set out in section 210 of the Corporations Act.

4.3 ASX Listing Rule 10.11

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that, unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue Equity Securities (which includes ordinary shares, options and performance rights to acquire ordinary shares) to:

  • 10.11.1 – a Related Party;

42

  • 10.11.2 – a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;

  • 10.11.3 – a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the entity and who has nominated a director to the board of the entity (in the case of a trust, to the board of the responsible entity of the trust) pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;

  • 10.11.4 – an associate of a person referred to in ASX Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or

  • 10.11.5 – a person whose relationship with the entity or a person referred to in ASX Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it has obtained approval from its shareholders.

Mr Mark Burke is considered a “Related Party” for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11.1.

It is in the view of the Company that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, shareholder approval is sought for the issue of the Director Placement Shares in accordance with the above.

Resolution 11 seeks the required Shareholder approval to the issue of Director Placement Shares to Mr Mark Burke (or his nominee) under and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11.

4.4 Directors’ Interests

Other than Mr Mark Burke, none of the current Board members have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 11. Based on the information available, including that contained in this Explanatory Statement, all of the Directors (excluding Mr Mark Burke who abstains given his interest in Resolution 11) recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 11. The Chair intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolution 11. The Chair intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolution 11.

4.5 Technical Information Required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 11 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Placement Shares to the Related Party, Mr Mark Burke, within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Director Placement Shares (because approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Director Placement Shares will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolution 11 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Placement Shares to the Related Party, Mr Mark Burke and the Company will not receive the cash consideration of $50,000.

Resolutions 11 is independent of all other Resolutions.

Immediately upon the
date of issue of the
Director Options
B $0.012 3 years from the date of

Director Options
These Options will vest
immediately on the
second anniversary of

provided that the
Relevant Person remains
as a Director or employee
of the Company at that
time.
  1. ( Entitlement ): Subject to paragraphs 12 and 13 of this Annexure, each Director Option (once vested and before it lapses) will entitle the holder to subscribe for one Share upon exercise of the Director Option.

  2. (Exercise Period ): The Director Options are exercisable at any time between the Vesting Date and 5pm (AEDT) on the Expiry Date (inclusive) ( Exercise Period ) and before it lapses.

  2. a. subject to paragraph 14 of this Annexure, issue the number of Shares required under these terms and conditions in respect of the number of Director Options exercised:

(a) complete two Proxy Forms. On each Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or the number of securities 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. (b) return both forms together in the same envelope.

STEP 2 VOTING DIRECTIONS TO YOUR PROXY

To direct your proxy how to vote, mark one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your securities will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of securities are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number that you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given item, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item for all your securities your vote on that item will be invalid.

Proxy which is a Body Corporate

Where a body corporate is appointed as your proxy, the representative of that body corporate attending the meeting must have provided an “Appointment of Corporate Representative” prior to admission. An Appointment of Corporate Representative form can be obtained from the company’s securities registry.

Proxy forms (and any Power of Attorney under which it is signed) must be received no later than 48 hours before the commencement of the meeting, therefore by 1:30pm (WAST) on Saturday, 22 February 2025. Any Proxy Form received after that time will not be valid for the scheduled meeting.
