3. Background to the Proposed Acquisition

On 21 December 2022, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement ( Acquisition Agreement ) with Mr Leo Horn, Mr Ariel King and Mr Trent Potts (together, the Sellers ) to acquire a 100% interest in the mineral claims comprising the Corvette Far East Lithium Project ( Corvette Project ) ( Proposed Acquisition ).

The Corvette Project is located in Quebec, Canada, situated east of Radisson, Quebec, and north-northeast of Nemaska, Quebec. The Corvette Project is a greenfields exploration project with potential for lithium.

The consideration payable by the Company to the Sellers for the Proposed Acquisition comprises the following:

  • (a) $300,000 cash;

  • (b) issue 4,500,000 Shares ( Consideration Shares ); and

  • (c) issue 1,000,000 performance rights convertible into shares on a one for one basis upon the Company having delineated at least one drill or trench/channel intercept which exceeds 5m of Li2O with a minimum grade of 1% Li2O, as verified by an

Page 7

independent Competent Person under the JORC Code 2012 at the Corvette Project ( Consideration Performance Rights ).

The Proposed Acquisition is subject to the Company obtaining shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the:

  • (a) Consideration Shares (the subject of Resolution 1); and

  • (b) Consideration Performance Rights (the subject of Resolution 2).

The Acquisition Agreement otherwise contains additional provisions considered customary for agreements of this nature.

4. Resolution 1 – Approval to issue Consideration Shares to the Sellers

4.1

General

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 to issue 4,500,000 Consideration Shares to the Sellers or their respective nominees.

4.2

Listing Rules 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 Consideration Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1. While the issue does not exceed the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and can therefore be made without breaching 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 under Listing Rule 7.1. To do this, the Company is asking shareholders to approve the issue 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.

Accordingly, Resolution 1 seeks shareholder approval to the issue of the Consideration Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 1 is passed, the Company can proceed to issue the Consideration Shares or a portion thereof without using up any of the Company's 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Company will be unable to proceed with the issue of the Consideration Shares and unable to proceed with the Proposed Acquisition.

As announced on 21 December 2022, the Company intends to appoint Mr Leo Horn to the Board of the Company subject to completion of the Proposed Acquisition. As such, the Company is relying on Listing Rule 10.12, exception 12 in not seeking approval under Listing Rule 10.11 for the Consideration Shares being issued to Mr Leo Horn.

4.3

Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Consideration Shares:

Page 8

  • (a) The Consideration Shares will be issued to Mr Leo Horn, Mr Ariel King and Mr Trent Potts (the Sellers ) (or their respective nominees), none of whom are a related party as at the date of this Notice or Material Investor on the following basis:

  • (i) up to 1,500,000 Consideration Shares to Mr Leo Horn (or his nominee);

  • (iii) up to 1,500,000 Consideration Shares to Mr Trent Potts (or his nominee).

  • (d) The Consideration Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or as ASX otherwise agrees).

  • (e) The Consideration Shares will be issued for nil cash consideration as part consideration to acquire the Corvette Project. Accordingly, no funds will be raised from the issue.

  • (f) A summary of the material terms of the Acquisition Agreement is set out in Section 3 above.

  • (g) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

5.2 Listing Rule 7.1

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 4.2 above.

The issue of Consideration Performance Rights does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1. While the issue does not exceed the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and can therefore be made without breaching 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 under Listing Rule 7.1. To do this, the Company is asking shareholders to approve the issue 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.

Page 9

Accordingly, Resolution 2 seeks shareholder approval to the issue of the Consideration Performance Rights under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 2 is passed, the Company can proceed to issue the Consideration Performance Rights or a portion thereof without using up any of the Company's 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1

If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Company will be unable to proceed with the issue of the Consideration Performance Rights and unable to proceed with the Proposed Acquisition.

As announced on 21 December 2022, the Company intends to appoint Mr Leo Horn to the Board of the Company subject to completion of the Proposed Acquisition. As such, the Company is relying on Listing Rule 10.12, exception 12 in not seeking approval under Listing Rule 10.11 for the Consideration Performance Rights being issued to Mr Leo Horn.

6. Resolution 3 – Approval of issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares

6.1

General

The background of the Proposed Acquisition and the Acquisition Agreement is set out in Section 3 above.

In conjunction with the Proposed Acquisition and subject to Shareholder approval, the Company is undertaking a placement to raise $2,140,000 through the issue of 13,375,000 Shares ( Placement Shares ) at an issue price of $0.16 each ( Placement ).

The Placement will consist of the issue of Placement Shares in two tranches:

  • (a) 11,375,000 Placement Shares to be issued to sophisticated and institutional investors (the subject of this Resolution 3) ( Tranche 1 Placement Shares ); and

  • (b) 2,000,000 Placement Shares ( Tranche 2 Placement Shares ) to be issued to Churchill SIG Pty Ltd ( Lead Manager ) (the subject of Resolution 4).

The proceeds from the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares and Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be used to underpin the acquisition, initial exploration activities at the Corvette Far East Project and for general working capital purposes.

6.2

Listing Rules 7.1

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 4.2 above.

The issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 While the issue does not exceed the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and can therefore be made without breaching 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 under Listing Rule 7.1. To do this, the Company is asking shareholders to approve the issue 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.

Accordingly, Resolution 3 seeks shareholder approval to the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company can proceed to issue the Tranche 1 Placement Shares without using up any of the Company's 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not proceed with the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

6.3

Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the approval of the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares:

Page 11

  • (a) The Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be issued to sophisticated and institutional investors, none of whom is a related party or Material Investor of the Company. Churchill SIG Pty Ltd ( Lead Manager ) acted as Lead Manager to the Placement. The participants in the Placement were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved the Lead Manager seeking expressions of interest to participate in the Placement from existing contacts of the Company and clients of the Lead Manager.

  • (b) The maximum number of Tranche 1 Placement Shares to be issued is 11,375,000.

  • (c) The Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares on issue.

  • (d) The Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting.

  • (e) The Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be issued at a price of $0.16 per Share.

  • (h) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

  • 6.4

Additional information

Resolution 3 is an ordinary resolution.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

7. Resolution 4 – Approval of issue of Tranche 2 Placement Shares to the Lead Manager

  • 7.1

General

The background to the proposed issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares to the Lead Manager is in Section 6.1 above.

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of up to 2,000,000 Tranche 2 Placement Shares to the Lead Manager (or their nominees).

The Lead Manager has committed a total of $320,000 under the Placement. It is proposed that 2,000,000 Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued to the Lead Manager (or their nominees).

7.2

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 Securities to any of the following persons without the approval of its Shareholders:

  • (a) a related party (Listing Rule 10.11.1);

Page 12

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

  • (c) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (10%+) 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 (Listing Rule 10.11.3);

  • (d) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3 (Listing Rule 10.11.4); or

  • (e) a person whose relation with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.11.1 or 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders (Listing Rule 10.11.5).

The Lead Manager is an associate of a related party of the Company by virtue of Jeremy Robinson, a Director of the Company, being a director and shareholder of Churchill SIG Pty Ltd (the Lead Manager). Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 is therefore required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Board that the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.

Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares to the Lead Manager (or their nominees) will not be included in the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.

The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 4 will be to allow the Company to issue the Tranche 2 Placement Shares, raising $320,000 (before costs).

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares, and will not receive the additional $320,000 committed by the Lead Manager.

7.3

Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares:

  • (a) The Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued to the Lead Manager (or its nominees).

  • (b) The Lead Manager falls into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.4 by virtue of Jeremy Robinson being a Director of the Company and a director and shareholder of the Lead Manager.

  • (c) A maximum of 2,000,000 Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued to the Lead Manager (or its nominees).

  • (d) The Tranche 2 Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares on issue.

  • (e) The Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued no later than one month after the date of the Meeting.

Page 13

  • (f) The Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued at $0.16 per Share.

  • (g) A summary of the intended use of funds raised from the Placement is in Section 6.1 above.

  • (h) The proposed issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares is not intended to remunerate or incentivise the Lead Manager.

  • (i) There are no other material terms to the proposed issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares.

  • (j) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

7.4 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

In accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, in order to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must:

  • (a) obtain Shareholder approval in the manner set out in section 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 proposed issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit to related parties of the Company.

The Board considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares because the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued on the same terms as the Tranche 1 Placement Shares proposed to be issued to non-related party participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

7.5

Additional information

Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution.

The Board, other than Mr Jeremy Robinson who has a personal interest in the outcome of this Resolution, recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

  • (ii) Additional shares to which the holder of the Consideration Performance Rights becomes so entitled will, as from the time shares are issued pursuant to the bonus issue and until those additional shares are allotted, be regarded as shares in respect of which the Consideration Performance Rights are exercised for the purposes of subsequent applications of paragraph (o)(i) above, and any adjustments which, after the time just mentioned, are made under paragraph (p) below to the number of shares, will also be made to the additional shares.

  • (p) ( No rights to return of capital ): The Consideration Performance Rights do not entitle the holder to a return of capital, whether in a winding up, upon a reduction of capital or otherwise.
