GENERAL MEETING - EXPLANATORY NOTES

These Explanatory Notes accompanying this Notice of Meeting are incorporated in and comprise part of this Notice of Meeting and should be read in conjunction with this Notice of Meeting.

Introduction

These Explanatory Notes have been prepared to provide Shareholders with material information to enable them to make an informed decision on the business to be considered at the General Meeting of the Company. The Directors recommend Shareholders read these Explanatory Notes in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions.

Terms defined in the Notice of Meeting have the same meaning in these Explanatory Notes.

GENERAL BUSINESS

Resolutions 1: Ratification of Equity Securities issued in the preceding 12 month period

Background

The Company has announced three separate issues of Equity Securities as follows:

• 23 April 2018; issue of 95,283,970 Shares ( Placement Shares ) to sophisticated, professional and institutional investors under a share placement to raise $5,050,050.41 (before costs).

• 9 May 2018; issue of 26,415,094 Shares ( Yahua Placement Shares ) to Yahua under a share placement to raise $1,400,000.00 (before costs).

• 9 May 2018; issue of 500,000 Consideration Options to Cannings Purple as consideration for investor relations services.

The Placement Shares were issued without Shareholder approval under the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and with prior Shareholder approval under the Company’s 10% Additional Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A. The Yahua Placement Shares and Consideration Options were issued without Shareholder approval under the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Reason for approval

Under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, the Company may not, without Members’ approval, issue Equity Securities of more than 15% of its total issued Securities within a 12-month period. Further, under Listing Rule 7.1A, as approved at the Company’s 2017 Annual General Meeting held on 26 October 2017, the Company may issue a further 10% of Shares on issue under the 10% Additional Placement Capacity.

Listing Rule 7.4 permits ratification of previous issues of securities made without prior shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1, provided the issue did not breach the maximum thresholds set by Listing Rule 7.1.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A.2, any securities issued under the 10% Additional Placement Capacity will be counted toward the 10% limit pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A for a period of 12 months from the date of issue unless Shareholders approve the issue of those Securities.

The Placement Shares, Yahua Placement Shares and Consideration Options were issued without Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A and thus the Company is seeking ratification of the issue at this Meeting.

Of the 95,283,970 Placement Shares issued, 49,632,086 were issued under Listing Rule 7.1A and the remaining 45,651,884 Shares were issued under Listing Rule 7.1. All of the Yahua Placement Shares and Consideration Options were issued under Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company confirms that the issue of the 45,651,884 Placement Shares, 26,415,094 Yahua Placement Shares and 500,000 Consideration Options did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 and the 49,632,086 Placement Shares did not breach Listing Rule 7.1A at the date of issue.

Listing Rule 7.5 contains certain requirements as to the contents of a Notice sent to Shareholders for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.4 and the following information is included in this Explanatory Statement for that purpose:

• (a) 95,283,970 Placement Shares and 26,415,094 Yahua Placement Shares were issued on 23 April 2018 and 9 May 2018 respectively at a price of $0.053 per Share. The Consideration Options were issue for nil consideration;

4

• (b) the Placement Shares and Yahua Placement Shares issued are fully paid ordinary shares and rank equally with other Shares on issue. The Consideration Options are unquoted securities and do not rank equally with any other securities on issue with terms as further detailed in Appendix 2. Shares issued upon the conversion of Consideration Options will be fully paid ordinary shares and rank equally with other Shares on issue;

• (c) the Placement Shares were issued to sophisticated and professional investors, the Yahua Placement Shares were issued to Ya Hua International Investment and Development Co. Ltd. and the Consideration Options were issued to Cannings Purple, none of whom are related parties of the Company;

• (d) the purpose of the funds raised upon issue of Placement Shares was to:

• progress the Company’s flagship Finniss Lithium Project towards development, including resource infill drilling at the Grants deposit and BP33 prospect;

• completion of a preliminary feasibility study and feasibility study for the development of a spodumene concentrate and DSO operation;

• an exploration and resource expansion drilling programs on high grade prospects within the broader Finniss Lithium Project area; and

• provide the Company with working capital to enable it to support its current operations;

• (e) the purpose of the funds raised upon issue of Yahua Placement Shares was to expand its regional exploration and resource focussed drilling within its Finniss Lithium Project; and

• (f) there were no funds raised upon the issue of Consideration Options.

Board Recommendation : The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of the ratification of Securities issued in the preceding 12 month period.

Resolution 2: Approval of issue of up to 58,104,000 Broker Options

Background

On 16 April 2018, Core announced that it had completed a Placement to raise approximately $5,050,000 by the issue of the Placement Shares on 23 April 2018. Under the terms of the Placement, broking firms were offered an attaching unquoted Broker Option as consideration for the Placement, subject to Shareholder approval. Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the unquoted Broker Options for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Reason for approval

Under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, the Company may not, without Members’ approval, issue Equity Securities of more than 15% of its total issued Securities within a 12-month period. The information contained in this section is provided to meet the information requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.3.

The maximum number of Broker Options to be issued to broking firm participants in the Placement is 58,104,000 Broker Options for nil cash consideration.

The Broker Options are expected to be issued as one issue of Securities, but may be issued progressively if required, and will be issued within 5 business days following Shareholder approval.

The Broker Options will be issued to broking firms associated with sourcing funds for the Placement. None of the parties being allotted Broker Options are related parties of the Company.

The Broker Options will not rank equally with any other Securities on issue as at the date of their issue and have an exercise price of $0.08 and expiry of 21 June 2019 as further detailed in Appendix 1. Shares issued upon the conversion of Broker Options will be fully paid ordinary shares and rank equally with other Shares on issue.

There are no funds raised directly under the issue of Broker Options, but the issue is to participating broking firms associated with the Placement, and the funds raised under the Placement are detailed in the explanation to Resolution 1 above.

5

Board Recommendation : The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour the issue of up to 58,104,000 Broker Options.

Resolution 3: Issue of Director Performance Rights to Mr Stephen Biggins

Background

Shareholders approved the Company’s Performance Share Plan (PSP) at the annual general meeting held on 30 November 2016 as part of the overall remuneration strategy of the Company. The PSP provides for the issue of Performance Rights to Directors, senior executives and employees of the Company and its associated bodies corporate.

The PSP is designed to provide the Company’s employees, Directors and executives with an incentive to maximise the return to Members over the long term and to assist in the attraction and retention of key employees, Directors and executives.

Mr Stephen Biggins is an Executive Director of the Company with responsibility for the management and oversight of the Company’s operations. Mr Biggins’ remuneration comprises a base remuneration component and other cash benefits. In order to remunerate Mr Biggins based on his qualifications and experience within the minerals exploration market and the desire to preserve cash, the Board has determined to renew an incentive based component to his remuneration package. Mr Biggins is currently remunerated via an issue of performance rights as approved by shareholders on 18 August 2016 whereby the performance conditions are measured to 30 June 2018. Mr Biggins has been invited by the board of the Company to participate in the PSP and to be issued with Director Performance Rights if approved by Members at this Meeting.

Reason for approval

ASX Listing Rule 10.14 requires Shareholder approval for the issue of securities under an employee incentive scheme to a Director of the entity, an associate of the Director, or a person whose relationship with the entity, Director or associate of the Director is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained.

Mr Biggins is a Director of the Company. Accordingly, shareholder approval is sought for the issue of a total of 5,000,000 Director Performance Rights to Mr Biggins (or his nominee) on the terms set out below. The Director Performance Rights to be granted to Mr Biggins are in effect conditional entitlements, which may vest subject to the satisfaction of performance hurdles, details of which are summarised below. If approval of the issue of the Performance Rights is given under Listing Rule 10.14, approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1. The issue of the Performance Rights to Mr Biggins will therefore not be included in the 15% calculation for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

Issue of Director Performance Rights

Upon approval at this Meeting, the Company intends to issue 5,000,000 Director Performance Rights to Mr Biggins within 5 business days of the Meeting. The Performance Rights will vest in tranches upon each performance hurdle being met as approved by the Board. The Company will not issue the Director Performance Rights later than 12 months after the Meeting.

In the event that all Director Performance Rights vest upon satisfaction of the performance KPIs (summarised below), the maximum number of Shares that would be issued to Mr Biggins is 5,000,000. The Shares to be issued upon vesting of the Director Performance Rights will all be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares.

The Company advises that there are no loans provided to Mr Biggins in relation to the issue of Director Performance Rights.

Issue Price and Exercise Price

There is no issue price and consequently there are no funds raised upon issue of the Director Performance Rights as they are issued for nil consideration. Each Director Performance Right issued to Mr Biggins will have a nil exercise price.

Key Performance Indicators

The Director Performance Rights vest and become exercisable if the five Key Performance Indicator hurdles are satisfied by the respective due dates – subject to the overarching share price KPI.

Where KPI’s are met and Director Performance Rights are exercised, Shares on the exercise of Director Performance Rights are expected to be issued progressively over the two year period.

The Key Performance Indicators relate to Mr Biggins’ and the Company’s performance during the period 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2020. Each Key Performance Indicator is independent of the other Key Performance Indicators listed below.

6

TABLE 1

TABLE 1
KPI	Due Date	Maximum number of Director Performance Rights which vest upon achieving KPI’s by 30 June 2020
1. Completion of Full (Financeable) Feasibility Study	31 December 2018	1,000,000

5. First Production from Mine	30 June 2020	1,000,000
TOTAL		5,000,000

Subject to the overarching share price KPI of the Core Exploration Limited share price performance (12 month VWAP) not being substantially (more than 20%) below the S&P ASX Small Resources Index (XSR:ASX) for the for the 12-month period in which the KPI is acheived commencing 1 July 2018 and ending 30 June 2019 or the 12-month period commencing 1 July 2019 and ending 30 June 2020;

1. Feasibility Study KPI – 1,000,000 Director Performance Rights The vesting of Director Performance Rights under this KPI is tied to the completion of a Feasibility Study as approved by the Board of the Company on or before 31 December 2018.

2. 10Mt JORC Resource KPI – 1,000,000 Director Performance Rights The vesting of Director Performance Rights under this KPI is tied to the announcement by 30 June 2019 of at least 10 million tonnes of lithium JORC resources (with at least 60% of the resources being in the measured and indicated category) grading at least 1% Li2O from all of the Company’s current or future mineral leases.

3. Full Regulatory Approval KPI – 1,000,000 Director Performance Rights The vesting of Director Performance Rights under this KPI is tied to the grant of all regulatory and all other approvals (NT Department of Primary Industries and Resources and related environmental approvals) by 30 June 2019 permitting the commencement of mining operations at the Grants Lithium Resource.

4. Commencement of Mining KPI – 1,000,000 Director Performance Rights The vesting of Director Performance Rights under this KPI is tied to the commencement of mining at the Grants Lithium Resource by 31 December 2019; including the commencement of any pre-strip to define the crest of the entire pit to a minimum depth of 2.5 metres related to accessing the Grants Lithium Resource.

5. First Production from Mine KPI – 1,000,000 Director Performance Rights

• The vesting of Director Performance Rights under this KPI is tied to the production of the first 10,000 tonnes of saleable lithium concentrate or direct shipping spodumene ore and the date that the saleable product is receipted and paid in full by the customer/s from lithium ore sourced form the mining lease that contains the Grants Lithium Resource. The saleable lithium concentrate or direct shipping spodumene ore must be receipted and paid in full by the customer/s by 30 June 2020.

In addition to the vesting conditions detailed for KPI 1 to KPI 5 above, 50% of the Director Performance Rights will vest if a sale or farm-out is achieved on the Finniss Lithium Project whereby =>50% legal and beneficial interest in the Finniss Lithium Project is sold for at least A$30 million by 30 June 2020 (Qualifying Transaction). The sale of =>50% of the ore from the Finniss Lithium Project under an offtake or ore sale agreement, with or without prepayment, does not count as a Quailifying Transaction. 2,500,000 Director Performance Rights will vest under this scenario to a maximum total of 5,000,000 Director Performance Rights including any KPI’s that have vested prior to the sale. For the avoidance of doubt, the maximum number of Director Performance Rights that can vest during the period 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2020 is 5,000,000 Director Performance Rights.

TABLE 2

7

Additional terms and conditions of the Director Performance Rights under the PSP are detailed in Appendix 3.

Should Mr Biggins cease to be an officer of the Company, the Director Performance Rights will expire within 3 months of his departure.

S Biggins interests and remuneration

Mr Biggins has a signed an employment agreement with the Company and was paid the cash amount of $288,585 in relation to the 2016/17 financial year and $284,700 (unaudited) in relation to the year ending 30 June 2018 (once completed).

Mr Biggins has the following relevant interest in Equity Securities of the Company:

TABLE 3

TABLE 3
Type of Equity Security	Number held
Shares	8,196,347
Performance Rights (excluding performance rights the subject of this Resolution)	1,500,000

If all of the Director Performance Rights granted to Stephen Biggins vest and are exercised, then a total of 5,000,000 new Shares would be issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 633,591,657 to 638,591,657 (assuming that no other options are exercised and no other Shares are issued) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by approximately 0.8%.

The market price for Shares during the term of the Director Performance Rights will affect the value of the perceived benefit given to Mr Biggins. If, at any time any of the Performance Rights vest, then there may be a perceived cost to Core. The trading history of Shares on ASX in the 12 months before the date of this Notice (to 14 May 2018) are:

TABLE 4

TABLE 4
	Price	Date
Highest	$0.105	1 and 4 December 2017
Lowest	$0.032	25 August 2017

Corporations Act

Under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, a public company cannot give a financial benefit to a related party unless an exception applies or shareholders have in a general meeting approved the giving of that financial benefit to the related party.

Mr Biggins is a Director so is a related party of Core. In accordance with section 208 of the Corporations Act, to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must obtain Shareholder approval unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The Board has formed the view that Shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act is not required for the proposed issue of the Director Performance Rights, pursuant to Resolution 3, as the exception in section 211 of the Corporations Act applies. Shareholder approval must nonetheless be obtained pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.14. The Performance Rights which are proposed to be issued are considered to be reasonable remuneration for the purposes of section 211 of the Corporations Act.

ASX Listing Rules Requirements

ASX Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a Company must not issue or agree to issue securities under an employment incentive scheme to a Director, without first obtaining shareholder approval.

ASX Listing Rule 10.15 requires that the following information to be provided to Shareholders when seeking an approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.14:

• a) The Performance Rights will be issued to Stephen Biggins or his nominee(s).

• b) The number of Performance Rights to be issued is 5,000,000.

• c) The Performance Rights will be issued for nil consideration and no consideration is payable by Mr Biggins upon conversion of the Performance Right to a Share.

• d) The following Directors, associates and other people named in Listing Rule 10.14 have received Performance Rights under the PSP since it was approved on 30 November 2016:

8

TABLE 5

TABLE 5
Name	Number of Performance Rights granted	Number of Shares issued on conversion of Performance Rights	Acquisition price of Performance Rights
Gregory English	1,200,000	Nil	Nil
Stephen Biggins	Nil	Nil	Nil
Heath Hellewell	1,200,000	Nil	Nil

• e) The persons referred to in Listing Rule 10.14 whom are entitled to participate in the PSP include a full or part time employee of the Company and its related bodies corporate, a Director and or a consultant of the Company, determined as eligible by the Board from time to time.

• f) The issue of the Performance Rights subject of Resolution 3 will occur no later than 12 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) but will vest upon meeting the required KPIs.

• g) There is no intention for the Company to grant a loan in relation to the Performance Rights or acquisition of Shares under the Performance Rights.

• h) See Appendix 3 for key terms of the PSP.

• i) A voting Exclusion statement is included in this Notice.

Board Recommendation

Mr Biggins declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 3 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that he is to be issued 5,000,000 Director Performance Rights should Resolution 3 be passed.

With the exception of Mr Biggins, no other Director has a personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 3. The Directors (other than Mr Biggins) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3 for the following reasons:

• the issue of Director Performance Rights to Mr Biggins will better align the interests of Mr Biggins with those of Shareholders;

• the issue of the Director Performance Rights is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of this benefit will allow Core to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if cash payments were given to Mr Biggins under his Employment Agreement; and

• it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to Core or benefits foregone by Core in issuing the Director Performance Rights on the terms proposed.

In forming their recommendations, each Director considered the experience of Mr Biggins, the skills Mr Biggins brings to Core and the current market price of Shares when determining the number of Director Performance Rights to be issued.

The Board (apart from Mr Biggins, who makes no recommendation) recommends that shareholders vote IN FAVOUR of Resolution 3.

The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies IN FAVOUR of Resolution 3.
