Resolution 1 – Ratification of Tranche 1 Placement Shares

Background

On 7 June 2021, the Company announced that it had received firm commitments for a placement raising $7 million through the issue of 608,695,700 Shares at $0.0115 per share (“ Placement Shares ”) to institutional and professional investors (“ Placement ”).

Under the Placement, the Company issued a total of 347,826,100 Shares on 15 June 2021 utlising the Company’s available capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 as Tranche 1. A further 260,869,600 Shares to be issued to the Creasy Group under Tranche 2 of the Placement are subject to approval by Shareholders under Resolution 2.

==> picture [16 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

General

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval, under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4, for the ratification of the issue the Placement Shares to exempt investors under the Placement.

==> picture [16 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more Equity Securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rules 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1), those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. To this end, Resolution 1 seeks shareholder approval for the issue of the Placement Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If Resolution 1 is passed, the Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company's 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Shares.

==> picture [17 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

ASX Listing Rule 7.5

Listing Rule 7.5 requires that the following information be provided to the Shareholders in relation to obtaining approval of Resolution 1 for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4:

  • (a) A total of 347,826,100 Placement Shares were issued on 15 June 2021 within the Company's 15% annual limit permitted under Listing Rule 7.1, without the need for Shareholder approval.

  • (b) The Shares had an issue price of $0.0115 per Share.

  • (c) The Placement Shares issued were fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing fully paid ordinary shares on issue.

  • (d) The Placement Shares issued under the Placement were issued to clients of Bell Potter, being sophisticated and professional, or otherwise exempt, investors, none of whom were a related party of the Company and none of whom are "material investors" as per ASX Guidance Note 21, paragraph 7.2.

  • (e) The purpose of the issue of the Placement Shares was to raise funds intended to be used towards:

  • (i) advancing the Company's Robe Mesa Iron Ore Project;

  • (ii) continued exploration of the Company’s other projects;

  • (iii) costs of the Offer; and

  • (iv) for general working capital.

Additional information

  • (a) Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.

  • (b) The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

  • (c) The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 1.

Resolution 2 – Issue of Shares to Creasy Group in the Placement

Background

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval, under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11, to allow the Creasy Group (and/or its nominees), to apply for and be issued up to 260,869,600 Shares at an issue price of $0.0115 each under the Placement.

If Resolution 2 is approved, and Creasy Group were to apply for, and be issued, Shares under the Placement, then this would raise approximately $3,000,000 for the Company.

Mark Creasy holds a controlling interest in the Company and controls the Creasy Group. Accordingly he is a related party of the Company for the purposes of section 228 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.1.

==> picture [16 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

Section 208 of the Corporations Act

Section 208(1)(a) of the Corporations Act prohibits a company from giving a financial benefit (including an issue of securities) to a related party of the company without the approval of shareholders by a resolution passed at a general meeting at which no votes are cast in relation to the resolution in respect of any shares held by the related party or by an associate of the related party.

As noted above, the Creasy Group is a related party of the Company under section 228 of the Corporations Act. However, the Company considers that the proposed issue of Shares under Resolution 2 falls within the ‘arm’s length’ exception in section 210 of the Corporations Act for the following reasons and, therefore, Shareholder approval is not required:

  • (a) the Creasy Group will only be entitled to apply for Shares under the Placement on the same terms (including the offer price of $0.0115 per Share) as those that apply to other applicants who are not related parties of the Company;

  • (b) the dilutionary impact on existing Shareholders would be the same irrespective of whether the Shares are issued to Creasy Group or any other person under the Placement; and

  • (c) the issue of Shares to the Creasy Group under the Placement would be reasonable in the circumstances if the Company were dealing at arm’s length.

==> picture [16 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

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:

  • (a) a related party;

  • (b) 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;

  • (c) 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;

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

6

  • (e) 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.

The issue of Shares to the Creasy Group falls within Listing Rule 10.11.2 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of the Company’s shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolution 2 seeks the required shareholder approval to the issue of Shares to the Creasy Group under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

If Resolution 2 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Shares to the Creasy Group and the Company will raise an additional $3,000,000 in the Placement.

If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Shares to the Creasy Group and will not raise the additional $3,000,000 in the Placement. Further the inability of the Creasy Group to participate in the Placement will reduce the funds available to the Company to apply to the Company's operations.

Further, exception 14 of Listing Rule 7.2 states that approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required if shareholder approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.11.

As set out above, Creasy Group is a related party of the Company for the purposes of section 228 of the Corporations Act. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought under Listing Rule 10.11 to permit the issue of Shares to the Creasy Group under the Placement.

Resolution 2 seeks approval for the issue of Shares to Creasy Group for the purpose of satisfying the requirements of Listing Rule 10.11. If Resolution 2 is approved, the Shares issued will not affect the capacity of the Company to issue securities in the next 12 months under Listing Rule 7.1 as those securities, once issued, will be excluded from the calculations under Listing Rule 7.1.

==> picture [17 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

ASX Listing Rule 10.13

For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 2:

  • (a) Names of the persons

Yandal Investments Pty Ltd (and/or its nominees).

(b) Maximum number of securities to be issued

  • The maximum number of securities that may be issued pursuant to Resolution 2 is 260,869,600.

  • (c) Date by which the entity will issue the securities

The Shares are to be issued as soon as practicable after Shareholders approve Resolution 2. In any event, however, no Shares will be issued to Creasy Group (and/or their nominees) later than 1 month after the Meeting.

  • (d) Relationship that requires shareholder approval

The Creasy Group is a related party of the Company under section 228 of the Corporations Act by virtue of its 52.1% shareholding in the Company and therefore falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1.

  • (e) Issue price of the securities

  • $0.0115 per Share.

7

(f) Terms of the issue

The Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and will rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing fully paid ordinary shares on issue.

(g) Intended use of funds raised

The purpose of the issue and how the Company intends to use the proceeds from the issue of the Placement Shares is detailed in Section 2.4(e).

(h) Directors’ recommendations

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

==> picture [16 x 10] intentionally omitted <==
