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 TO RESOLUTIONS 1 TO 4
1.1 Overview
On 28 April 2023, the Company announced it had secured up to AU$1.75 million through the issue of unsecured convertible notes to both new and existing groups of sophisticated and professional investors with a total of 1,750 convertible notes subscribed for, each with a face value of $1,000 each of which $1.403 million remained outstanding this month ($809,000 maturing on 15 May 2025 and $594,000 maturing on 29 June 2025) ( 2023 Convertible Notes ).
On 5 June 2025, the Company announced that the holders of the 2023 Convertible Notes have agreed to roll the amount of their 2023 Convertible Notes into a subscription for new convertible notes ( 2025 Convertible Notes ) and effectively extend the maturity date of the 2023 Convertible Notes to mid-July 2027. For the period between maturity of the 2023 Convertible Notes and issue date of the 2025 Convertible Notes, the holders have agreed to extend the maturity dates of their 2023 Convertible Notes from 15 May and 29 June 2025 to 30 November 2025.
The Company proposes to also issue up to an additional $597,000 worth of 2025 Convertible Notes to investors who are not holders of 2023 Convertible Notes to bring the total face value of the 2025 Convertible Notes to be up to approximately $2,000,000.
The Company confirms that in relation to the holders of the 2023 Convertible Notes, who are rolling over and subscribing for 2025 Convertible Notes, no cash will be raised via the issue of these 2025 Convertible Notes because the application monies are deemed to have been used to redeem the outstanding 2023 Convertible Notes. The Company intends to apply the additional $597,000 raised towards the advancement of its exploration programs and its existing cash reserves.
The 2025 Convertible Notes will be issued on the following terms:
-
(a) $2,000,000 worth of 2025 Convertible Notes to be issued across two tranches as follows:
-
(i) Tranche 1 : comprising $286,235 worth of 2025 Convertible Notes (286,235 notes with a face value of $1.00) ( Tranche 1 Notes ) issued pursuant to the Company’s available placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 on 10 June 2025. The ratification of the issue of the Tranche 1 Notes is the subject of Resolution 1; and
-
(ii) Tranche 2 : comprising up to $1,713,765 worth of 2025 Convertible Notes (1,713,765 notes with a face value of $1.00) ( Tranche 2 Notes ) to be issued subject to receiving shareholder approval under Resolution 2.
The Company has entered into convertible note deeds with the Investors ( Convertible Note Deeds ), a summary of the material terms of which are set out in Schedule 1. Each 2025 Convertible Note can only be converted after three months from the date of issue at a conversion price which is the lower of:
-
(a) $0.02; or
-
(b) a 15% discount to the VWAP of Shares during the 15 trading days before (but not including) the conversion date, except where the conversion price calculated is less than $0.005 ( Floor Price ) in which case the conversion price will be the Floor Price,
( Conversion Formula ).
6
5739-02/3694458_19
The 2025 Convertible Notes have a term of 24 months from the issue date, with interest payable quarterly at 10% per annum in cash, which is cumulative, accrues daily and is payable on the last day of each month of the relevant quarter.
In lieu of paying interest in cash, the Company may make an election to pay interest by issuing Shares, with the number of Shares to be issued calculated by multiplying the outstanding face value of the relevant notes on the due date for payment of the interest by an interest rate of 15% per annum, divided by the 5-day volume weighted average price of Shares immediately prior to (but not including) the due date for payment of the interest. The Company may only elect to pay interest by issuing Shares where it has or will have on the due date for payment sufficient placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 to complete the issue and allotment of the Shares without the need for any shareholder approvals.
The Company also proposes to issue up to 20,000,000 free attaching options to subscribers of the 2025 Convertible Notes, on the basis that each noteholder will receive 10 free attaching CR30 listed options for every $1.00 subscribed for, with an exercise price of $0.035 each and expiring on 31 March 2027 ( Options ). The issue of the Options is subject to the receipt of Shareholder approval under Resolution 3.
GBA Capital Pty Ltd ( GBA Capital ) were engaged by the Company as the Lead Manger to the issue of the new Convertible Notes under the lead manager mandate ( Lead Manager Mandate ).
As consideration for these services, the Company will pay GBA Capital a 6% capital raising fee (plus GST if applicable) on the total number of 2025 Convertible Notes, which is to be paid as follows:
-
(a) 6% on $1,403,000 is to be paid via the issue of CR3O Options exercisable at $0.035 each and expiring on 31 March 2027 ( Broker Options ). The number of Broker Options is calculated based on the most recent CR3O Option Price and the Company has agreed to issue 46,299,000 Broker Options. The issue of the Broker Options is subject to Shareholder approval under Resolution 4; and
-
(b) 6% on the balance of the 2025 Convertible Notes being $597,000 is payable by the Company in cash.
Further details in respect of the issue of the 2025 Convertible Notes are set out in the ASX announcement released on 5 June 2025.
1.2 Summary of Resolutions
Resolutions 1 to 4 seeks:
-
(a) Resolution 1 – Shareholder approval to ratify the issue of the Tranche 1 Notes;
-
(b) Resolution 2 – Shareholder approval for the issue of the Tranche 2 Notes;
-
(c) Resolution 3 – Shareholder approval for the issue of the free attaching Options; and

(d) Resolution 4 – Shareholder approval for the issue of the Broker Options.
2. RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF CONVERTIBLE NOTES – TRANCHE 1 – LISTING RULE 7.4
- 2.1 General
As set out in Section 1.1 above, the Company entered into the Convertible Note Deeds for the issue of the 2025 Convertible Notes. Under Tranche 1, the Company issued $286,235 worth of 2025 Convertible Notes on 10 June 2025, to existing and new sophisticated and professional investors ( Tranche 1 Notes ).
The Convertible Notes can be converted after 10 September 2025 in accordance with the Conversion Formula. A summary of the key terms of the Convertible Note Deeds is set out in Schedule 1.
The issue of the Tranche 1 Notes did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of the issue.
7
5739-02/3694458_19
2.2 Listing Rule 7.1
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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
The issue of the Tranche 1 Notes does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses 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 date of issue of the Tranche 1 Notes.
2.3
Listing Rule 7.4
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 in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking, under Resolution 1, Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Tranche 1 Notes.
2.4
Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 1 is passed, the Tranche 1 Notes will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Tranche 1 Notes.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Tranche 1 Notes will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Tranche 1 Notes.
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Tranche 1 Notes.

As set out in Section 1.1 above, under Tranche 2, the Company proposes to issue 1,713,765 2025 Convertible Notes subject to receipt of Shareholder approval to new and existing sophisticated and professional investors ( Tranche 2 Notes ).

3.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 2 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Notes.

If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Notes and the Company will need to renegotiate with the Investors and possibly seek further Shareholder approval, which will add further time and costs to the Company.

6.2 Director Recommendation
Each Director has a material personal interest in the outcome of these Resolutions on the basis that all of the Directors (or their nominee(s)) are to be issued Performance Rights should these Resolutions be passed. For this reason, the Directors do not believe that it is appropriate to make a recommendation on these Resolutions.
6.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that for a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
-
(a) obtain the approval of the public 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 following such approval,
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The issue constitutes giving a financial benefit and each of the proposed recipients is a related party of the Company by virtue of each of the recipients being a Director.
As Performance Rights are proposed to be issued to all of the Directors, the Directors are unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to the issue. Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the issue is sought in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
6.4
Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity 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 company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company 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 Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in 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 obtains the approval of its shareholders.
15
5739-02/3694458_19
The issue falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
6.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If these Resolutions are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue within one month after the date of the Meeting. As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If these Resolutions are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue and the Company may decide on alternative forms of remuneration for the Directors.
