EXPLANATORY STATEMEN T

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

1. BACKGROUND

1.1 Binding terms sheet with Providence Gold and Minerals Pty Ltd

On 16 June 2016, the Company announced that it entered into a binding terms sheet ( Agreement ) with Providence Gold and Minerals Pty Ltd (ACN 004 881 789) ( PGM ) to secure the right to earn up to an 80% interest in the Mount Gilmore CobaltCopper-Gold Project ( Acquisition ).

The Mount Gilmore Cobalt-Copper-Gold Project is located 35km from Grafton in north-eastern New South Wales and includes one granted Exploration Licence (EL8379) covering an area of approximately 25km by 15km ( Project ).

Pursuant to the Agreement and subject to the Company completing due diligence on the Project and obtaining all necessary Shareholder and regulatory approvals, the Company has the exclusive right to earn up to an 80% interest in the Project as follows:

  • (a) The Company may earn an initial 51% interest in the Project by:

  • (i) issuing 25,000,000 Shares to PGM ( PGM Share Issue );

  • (ii) paying a cash reimbursement to PGM of $100,000 for past expenditure incurred by PGM on the Project; and

  • (iii) spending $200,000 on exploration of the Project within the first 12 months from the date of satisfaction of all conditions precedent ( Commencement Date ).

  • (b) The Company may earn a further 29% interest (to be an aggregate of 80%) by:

  • (i) spending $2,000,000 on exploration and development of the Project within three years of the Commencement Date (in addition to the sum expended under paragraph (a)(iii) above);

  • (ii) paying to PGM $150,000 (in cash or Shares) upon the earlier of the commencement of the third year and the Company spending a minimum of $500,000 on exploration in the second earn-in period; and

  • (iii) paying to PGM $250,000 (in cash or Shares) upon earning its 80% interest in the Project.

The Company has the opportunity to extend the earn-in period by one year by paying $50,000 in cash or Shares to PGM. Any Shares to be issued to PGM in lieu of cash payments (as contemplated under paragraphs (b)(ii) and (b)(iii) above), will be issued at a deemed issue price of the five day volume weighted average price per Share as traded on ASX.

Upon the Company earning an 80% interest in the Project, PGM will be free carried until the Company makes a decision to mine a deposit within the Project. Upon the

6

decision to mine, PGM will have the opportunity to contribute to expenditure requirements according to its working interest, or dilute to a net smelter royalty of 2.0% ( Royalty ). The Company has the right to purchase 1% of the Royalty for $3,000,000 at any stage.

Subject to the completion of due diligence, the Company will complete the PGM Share Issue in early July 2016. Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the PGM Share Issue.

1.2 Placement

As further disclosed in its announcement dated 16 June 2016, the Company has confirmed that, in connection with the Acquisition, the Company has received commitments from sophisticated, professional and institutional investors to raise approximately $1,000,000 at an issue price of 0.55 cents per Share (the Placement ).

The funds raised pursuant to the Placement will be used to fund the costs of the Acquisition, exploration of the Project, exploration of the Company’s Canadian nickel projects and for general working capital purposes.

The Placement will be completed in two tranches:

(a) Tranche 1, comprising the issue of 85,409,040 Shares ( Tranche 1 Shares ); and (b) Tranche 2, comprising the issue of 96,409,140 Shares ( Tranche 2 Shares ).
