  • (b) the Shares will be issued in the event that a JORC Code compliant lithium resource is delineated in relation to the Kanuka Lithium Production Project. It is expected that the Shares (if any) will be issued later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting and as such the Company has applied to ASX for a waiver of the ASX Listing Rules to permit their issue on a date which is later than 3 months after the Meeting but no later than 5 years after the Annual General Meeting. The Company will not issue the Shares without first having obtained a waiver of the ASX Listing Rules. If ASX does not grant the waiver, the Company will seek further Shareholder approval for the issue of the Shares in due course;

  • (c) the Shares will be issued for no cash consideration at a deemed issue price of the market price of Shares at the time they are issued;

13

  • (d) the Shares will be issued to Kanuka (or its nominee), which is not a related party or an associate of a related party of the Company;

  • (e) the Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares that rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (f) no funds will be raised from the issue of the Shares;

  • (g) the Shares will be issued on the date of delineation of the relevant JORC Code compliant resource; and

  • (h) a voting exclusion statement is set out in the Notice of Meeting.

Effective 19 February 2018, Mr Jason Brewer was appointed as Managing Director of the Company. The Performance Rights form part of the remuneration arrangements of Mr Brewer.

The Performance Rights have the following vesting dates:

Number Vesting date
600,000 19 February 2019

For each tranche of Performance Rights to vest Mr Brewer must remain in employment with the Company on each relevant vesting date.

8.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act regulates the provision of financial benefits to related parties by a public company. Section 208 of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company giving a financial benefit to a related party of that public company unless one of a number of exceptions applies.

A “financial benefit” is defined in the Corporations Act in broad terms and includes the issue of securities. For the purpose of the Meeting, a related party includes a director of the Company.

For the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, Mr Brewer is a related party of the Company by virtue of the fact that he is a Director of the Company.

Section 208 of the Corporations Act provides that for a public company, or an entity that a public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

14

  • (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 Company is seeking the approval of Shareholders for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act in respect of the Performance Rights proposed to be issued to Mr Brewer.

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of Performance Rights to Mr Brewer:

  • (a) Mr Brewer is a related party by virtue of him being a Director of the Company;

  • (b) the number of Performance Rights (being the financial benefit being provided) to be issued to Mr Brewer or his nominee(s) is 1,800,000;

  • 2 these Performance Rights are the subject of this Resolution 7 and are subject to approval being obtained from Shareholders, with one third of the Performance Rights to vest on each of the first, second and third anniversary of the commencement date of Mr Brewer’s engagement with the Company subject to Mr Brewer being engaged on the relevant vesting dates.

  • (e) if the Performance Rights proposed to be issued to Mr Brewer are approved by Shareholders, a total of 1,800,000 Performance Rights will be issued. If the Performance Rights vest, this will increase the number of Shares on issue from 419,915,868 to 421,715,868 (assuming that no other Shares are issued in the meantime) with the effect that the shareholding of existing shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of 0.43%.

  • (f) the trading history of Shares on ASX in the 12 months before the date of this Notice of Meeting is set out below:

Last $0.078 12 April 2018

15

  • (g) the purpose of the grant of the Performance Rights is to reward Mr Brewer and to provide cost effective consideration to Mr Brewer for his ongoing commitment and contribution to the Company in his role as Managing Director, whilst allowing the Company to maintain cash reserves for acquisitions and operations. In addition, the Board considers the grant of the Performance Rights to Mr Brewer to be reasonable, given the necessity to attract high calibre professionals to the Company whilst maintaining the Company’s cash reserve. The Board considered the extensive experience and reputation of Mr Brewer within the industry, the market price of Shares and current market practices when determining the number of Performance Rights to be issued to the Managing Director;

  • (h) the Board does not consider there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company in issuing the Performance Rights to the Managing Director;

  • (i) based on the closing price of Shares on 12 April 2018, the day before the Notice of Meeting was lodged with ASIC, the total value of the Performance Rights are $140,400.00;

  • (j) Mr Brewer has an interest in Resolution 7 and, therefore, believes it inappropriate to make a recommendation;

  • (k) the Board (excluding Mr Brewer) recommends Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution; and

  • (l) the Board is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass the Resolution.

8.3 Listing Rule 10.11

Resolution 7 is required to be approved by Shareholders in accordance with Listing Rule 10.11.

Listing Rule 10.11 requires a company obtain shareholder approval by ordinary resolution prior to the issue of securities to a related party.

Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the issue of the Performance Rights to Mr Brewer.

The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.13:

  • (a) the person to whom the Performance Rights are to be issued to is Mr Jason Brewer, a Director of the Company or his nominee(s);

  • (b) the maximum number of Performance Rights to be issued by the Company is 1,800,000;

  • (c) upon vesting the Performance Rights will entitle Mr Brewer or his nominee(s) to be issued fully paid ordinary shares that rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (d) the Performance Rights will be granted to Mr Brewer as soon as possible after the date of the Meeting and, in any case, no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and the Performance Rights will be issued on one date;

  • (e) the Performance Rights will be issued in consideration of Mr Brewer’s services as Managing Director and will have a deemed issue price of the market value of the Performance Rights at the time they are issued;

16

  • (f) no funds will be raised from the issue of the Performance Rights;

  • (g) a voting exclusion statement is set out in the Notice of Meeting.

Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Performance Rights to Mr Brewer as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of the Performance Rights to Mr Brewer will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

9. RESOLUTION 8 – ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO GEDEON PELESA (OR NOMINEE)

9.1 General

Resolution 8 seeks the approval of Shareholders for the issue of 2,500,000 Options to Mr Pelesa or his nominee(s) in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11.

The Options will be exercisable at $0.10 on or before 30 June 2020. The exercise price represents an approximately 13.6% premium to the trading price on 6 April 2017 when the grant of the Options was considered and approved, subject to shareholder approval, by the Board and a premium of approximately 28% to the closing price on 12 April 2018, the day before this Notice of Meeting was lodged with ASIC.

9.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act regulates the provision of financial benefits to related parties by a public company. Section 208 of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company giving a financial benefit to a related party of that public company unless one of a number of exceptions applies.

A “financial benefit” is defined in the Corporations Act in broad terms and includes the issue of securities. For the purpose of the General Meeting, a related party includes a director of the Company.

For the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, Mr Pelesa is a related party of the Company by virtue of the fact that he is a Director of the Company.

Section 208 of the Corporations Act provides that for a public company, or an entity that a 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 Company is seeking the approval of Shareholders for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act in respect of the Options proposed to be issued to Mr Pelesa.

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of Options to Mr Pelesa:

  • (a) Mr Pelesa is a related party by virtue of him being a Director of the Company;

17

  • (b) the number of Options (being the nature of the financial benefit being provided) to be allocated to Mr Pelesa or his nominee(s) is 2,500,000;

  • (c) the Options will be issued on the terms set out in Schedule 2;

  • (d) Mr Pelesa currently does not have a relevant interest in any securities of the Company;

  • (e) the remuneration from the Company to Mr Pelesa for the prior financial year and the proposed remuneration for the current financial year (in addition to the Options) is set out below:

  • Current Financial Year (ending 31-Dec-2018): $48,000;

  • Prior Financial Year (ending 31-Dec-2017): $10,000;

  • (f) if the Options granted to Mr Pelesa are exercised, a total of 2,500,000 Shares will be issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 419,915,868 to 422,415,868 (assuming that no other Shares are issued in the meantime) with the effect that the shareholding of existing shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of 0.59%;

(g) the trading history of Shares on ASX in the 12 months before the date of this Notice of Meeting is set out below:

Price Date
Highest $0.17 16 January 2018
Lowest $0.017 8 May 2017
Last $0.078 12 April 2018
  • (h) the purpose of the grant of the Options is to reward Mr Pelesa and to provide cost effective consideration to Mr Pelesa for his ongoing commitment and contribution to the Company in his role as a Director, whilst allowing the Company to maintain cash reserves for acquisitions and operations. In addition, the Board considers the grant of the Options to Mr Pelesa to be reasonable, given the necessity to attract high calibre professionals to the Company whilst maintaining the Company’s cash reserves. The Board considered the extensive experience and reputation of Mr Pelesa within the industry, the current market price of Shares and current market practices when determining the number and exercise price of the Options to be issued to the Director;

  • (i) the Board does not consider there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company in issuing the Options to the Director. The market price of Shares during the term of the Options would normally determine whether or not the Options are exercised. If, at any time any of the Options are exercised and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the Options, there may be a perceived cost to the Company;

  • (j) the value for the Options the subject of Resolution 8 has been estimated using the Black-Scholes method. In determining these values, the following assumptions have been made:

  • (i) The market price per Share as at the valuation date of 12 April 2018 is $0.078.

  • (ii) The exercise price of the Options is $0.10.

18

  • (iii) The Options will expire on 30 June 2020.

  • (iv) The price volatility of the Shares is approximately 135%.

  • (v) The current average risk-free interest rate is 2.03%.

  • (vi) A dividend is unlikely to be paid by the Company during the life of the Options.

The total value of the 2,500,000 Options proposed to be issued to Mr Pelesa is therefore estimated as $127,500;

  • (k) Mr Pelesa has an interest in Resolution 8 and, therefore, believes it inappropriate to make a recommendation;

  • (l) the Board (excluding Mr Pelesa) recommends Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution; and

  • (m) the Board is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass the Resolution.

9.3 Listing Rule 10.11

Resolution 8 is required to be approved by Shareholders in accordance with Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 requires a company obtain shareholder approval by ordinary resolution prior to the issue of securities to a related party.

Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the issue of the Options to Mr Pelesa.

The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.13:

  • (a) the person to whom the Options are to be issued to is Mr Gedeon Pelesa, a Director of the Company or his nominee(s);

  • (b) the maximum number of Options to be issued by the Company is 2,500,000;

  • (c) the Options will be granted to Mr Pelesa as soon as possible after the date of the Meeting and, in any event, no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and the Options will be issued on one date;

  • (d) the Options will be issued in consideration of Mr Pelesa’s services as a Director and will have a deemed issue price of the market value of the Options at the time they are issued;

  • (e) no funds will be raised from the issue of the Options;

  • (f) the Options will be issued on the terms set out in Schedule 2; and

  • (g) a voting exclusion statement is set out in the Notice of Meeting.

Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Options to the Directors as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of the Options to the Directors will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

19

10. RESOLUTION 9 – 10% ENHANCED PLACEMENT FACILITY

10.1 General

Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting ( 10% Enhanced Placement Facility ). The 10% Enhanced Placement Facility is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less as at the date of the Annual General Meeting. The Company is an eligible entity as at the time of this Notice of Meeting and expects to remain so up to and including the date of the Annual General Meeting as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of approximately $32.75 million.

The Company is seeking Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Enhanced Placement Facility.

The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Enhanced Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (see section 10.2(c) below).

10.2 Description of Listing Rule 7.1A

(a) Shareholder approval

The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Enhanced Placement Facility is subject to Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at the Annual General Meeting.

(b) Equity Securities

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Enhanced Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company. The Company currently has one quoted class of Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: 4CE).

(c) Formula for calculating 10% Enhanced Placement Facility

Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

  • A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

  • (i) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;

  • (ii) plus the number of partly paid Shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;

20

  • (iii) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the entity’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval;

  • (iv) less the number of fully paid Shares cancelled in the 12 months.

Note that A has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15% placement capacity.

  • D is 10%;

  • E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

(d) Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A

The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity's 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

At the date of this Notice of Meeting, the Company has 419,915,868 Shares on issue. Therefore, subject to Shareholder approval the Company will have a capacity to issue:

  • (i)

  • 62,987,380 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • (ii) subject to Shareholder approval being obtained under Resolution 8, 41,991,587 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.1.

The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have the capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1 A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to (c) above) and so is subject to change.

(e)

Minimum Issue Price

The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(f) 10% Placement Period

Shareholder approval of the 10% Enhanced Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:

21

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained; or

  • (ii) the date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),

( 10% Placement Period ).

10.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Enhanced Placement Facility as follows:

  • (a) Risk of economic and voting dilution

  • If Resolution 8 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Enhanced Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders’ voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table. There is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • (ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities on the issue date or the Equity Securities are issued as part of consideration for the acquisition of a new asset,

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.

The table below shows the potential dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities (being variable “A” as calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2) on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meeting.

The table shows:

  • (i) two examples where variable “A” has increased by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and

  • (ii) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% as against the current market price.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • (i) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Enhanced Placement Facility.

  • (ii) No other Shares are issued before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.

22

  • (iii) The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

  • (iv) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility, based on the Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.

  • (v) The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (vi) The issues of Equity Securities under the 10% Enhanced Placement Facility consists only of Shares.

  • (vii) The issue price is $0.078, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 12 April 2018.

  • (viii) There are currently 419,915,868 Shares on issue.

(b) Purpose of issue under 10% Enhanced Placement Facility

The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:

  • (i) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of the new assets or investments. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the noncash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or

  • (ii) cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards continued exploration and feasibility study expenditure on the Company’s portfolio of assets and/or general working capital.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.

23

(c) Allocation under the 10% Placement Capacity

The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Enhanced Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:

  • (i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;

  • (ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • (iv) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

The allottees under the 10% Enhanced Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice of Meeting but may include existing Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.

Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new assets or investments, the allottees under the 10% Enhanced Placement Facility may include the vendors of the new assets or investments.

(d) Previous approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company obtained approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at the 2017 annual general meeting held on 31 May 2017.

In the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 30 May 2017, the Company has issued 204,958,330 Shares and 45,833,326 Options which represents approximately 96% of the total diluted number of Equity Securities on issue in the Company on 30 May 2017, which was 231,520,038.

Details of the issues of Equity Securities by the Company during the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting are set out in Schedule 1.

(e) Compliance with ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A

When the Company issues equity securities pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity, it will give to ASX:

  • (i) a list of all the allottees of the equity securities and the number of equity securities allotted to each (not for release to the market), in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.4; and

  • (ii) the information required by ASX Listing Rule 3.10.5A for release to the market.

  • (f) A voting exclusion statement is set out in the Notice of Meeting.

24

11. RESOLUTION 10 – FUTURE PLACEMENT SHARES

11.1 Background

Resolution 10 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of Future Placement Shares within three months from the date of this Meeting to sophisticated and professional investors who are not related parties or associates of related parties of the Company.

Funds will be required to meet the Company’s ordinary operating costs, for the exploration and feasibility studies associated with the Company’s highly prospective DRC lithium projects, and for future acquisition opportunities that may arise. The Company will seek to raise such capital following the Meeting.

If Resolution 10 is approved, the Company will seek to raise such funds by making placement of Future Placement Shares without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity or the Company’s 10% enhanced placement capacity, (assuming Resolution 9 is approved). This will allow the Company to retain additional flexibility to raise funds in the future to meet the Company’s financial obligations and ongoing operating and growth costs without the need for shareholder approval at that time.

11.2 ASX Listing Rules Chapter 7

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, without the approval of Shareholders, issue during any 12 month period any equity securities with rights of conversion to equity (such as an option) if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the total ordinary shares on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

11.3 Technical Information required by the ASX Listing Rules

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

  • (a) the maximum number of Shares to be issued is 50,000,000;

  • (b) the Company will issue the Future Placement Shares no later than three months after the date of this Meeting (or such later date as ASX may in its discretion allow);

  • (c) the Future Placement Shares will be allotted at an issue price not lower than 80% of the VWAP of the Shares over the five days on which sales were recorded preceding the date on which the issue is made;

  • (d) the Future Placement Shares will be issued to sophisticated and professional investors who are not related parties or associates of related parties of the Company;

  • (e) the Future Placement Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares that rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (f) it is intended that the funds raised will be used by the Company to meet the Company’s ordinary operating costs, for the exploration and feasibility studies associated with the Company’s highly prospective DRC lithium projects, and for future acquisition opportunities that may arise;

  • (g) the Company intends to issue the Future Placement Shares progressively on such dates when the Company completes any capital raisings following this Meeting and in accordance with any agreements contemplated by those capital raisings; and

  • (h) a voting exclusion statement is set out in the Notice of Meeting.
