4. Resolution 1 – Remuneration Report

4.1 General

In accordance with section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company must put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Directors' Report for the year ended 30 June 2024 in the 2024 Annual Report contains the Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and the remuneration arrangements in place for the executive Directors, specified executives and non-executive Directors.

In accordance with section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors. If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Directors will not be required to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.

If the Company's Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more ( Strike ) at two consecutive annual general meetings, Shareholders will have the opportunity to remove the whole Board, except the managing director (if any).

Where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second annual general meeting a resolution on whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than the managing director, if any) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors' Report must stand for re-election.

The Company's Remuneration Report did not receive a Strike at the 2023 annual general meeting. If the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at this Meeting, Shareholders should be aware that if a second Strike is received at the 2025 annual general meeting, this may result in the re-election of the Board.

The Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on the Remuneration Report.

4.2 Additional information

Resolution 1 is an ordinary non-binding resolution.

Given the personal interests of all Directors in the outcome of this Resolution, the Board declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders regarding this Resolution.

5. Resolution 2 – Re-election of Director – Dean Turnbull

5.1 General

Article 62(1) of the Constitution and Listing Rule 14.5 both provide that there must be an election of Directors at each annual general meeting.

Article 62(2) of the Constitution provides that the director to retire by rotation will be the Director who has been the longest in office since their last election or appointment.

Pursuant to Article 62(5) of the Constitution, a retiring Director is eligible for re-election.

Page 10

3470-6084-8688, v. 7

Mr Dean Turnbull, who was last elected at the Company’s 2023 annual general meeting, has agreed to retire at this Meeting and, being eligible, seeks re-election pursuant to this Resolution 2.

If Resolution 2 is approved, Mr Turnbull will be re-elected as a Director of the Company with effect from the conclusion of the Meeting.

If Resolution 2 is not approved, Mr Turnbull will not be re-elected as a Director of the Company.

5.2 Dean Turnbull

Mr Dean Turnbull has over 30 years of practical industry experience in greenfields exploration and mine development projects, and has led mine geology and resource evaluation teams. Mr Turnbull graduated with a Bachelor of Applied Science (Geology) degree with distinction, followed by an Honours degree in Economic Geology at the Key Centre for Ore Deposit and Exploration Studies at the University of Tasmania. Mr Turnbull was a founding Director of Dart from its listing on the ASX in May 2007 through to May 2014, before stepping down from the Board to focus on the Mt. Unicorn Mo-Cu-Ag Project PFS in his role as Manager, Geology. In 2016, Mr Turnbull identified the Dorchap dyke swarm, now known as the Dorchap Lithium project in North East Victoria and initiated the first evaluation of its Li-Sn-Ta potential. Mr. Turnbull was instrumental in the discovery and subsequent evaluation of the Mt. Unicorn Porphyry Mo–Cu–Ag project and in the broader definition of a new porphyry mineral province in North East Victoria.

Mr Turnbull does not currently hold any other material directorships, other than as disclosed in this Notice.

If re-elected, Mr Turnbull is considered by the Board (with Mr Turnbull abstaining) to be an independent Director. Mr Turnbull is not considered by the Board to hold any interest, position or relationship that might influence, or reasonable be perceived to influence, in a material respect his capacity to bring independent judgement to bear on issues before the Board and to act in the best interests of the entity as a whole rather than in the interests of an individual Security holder or other party.

Mr Turnbull has acknowledged to the Company that he will have sufficient time to fulfil his responsibilities as a Director.

5.3 Board Recommendation

The Board (other than Mr Dean Turnbull who has a personal interest in the outcome of this Resolution) supports the re-election of Mr Turnbull for the following reasons:

  • (a) Mr Turnbull’s skills and significant experience in the mining and minerals industry, are important additions to the Board’s existing competencies; and

  • (b) Mr Turnbull has an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the Company and its business, and his continuing role as a member of the Board will benefit the Company.

5.4

Additional information

Resolution 2 is an ordinary Resolution.

The Board (with Mr Dean Turnbull abstaining) recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

6.1 General

Listing Rule 7.1A enables an eligible entity 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% Placement Facility ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution to provide the Company with the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility during the 10% Placement Period (refer to Section 6.2(f) below). The number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 6.2(c) below).

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval in Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (b) What Equity Securities can be issued?

  • (d) Risk of economic and voting dilution

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

Page 14

3470-6084-8688, v. 7

  • (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,

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

If this Resolution 3 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders' economic and voting power in the Company may be diluted as shown in the below table (in the case of convertible securities, only if the convertible securities are converted into Shares).

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders based on the current market price of Shares and the current number of Shares for Variable 'A' calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (see Section 6.2(c) above) as at the date of this Notice ( Variable A ), with:

  • (i) two examples where Variable A has increased, by 50% and 100%; and

  • (ii) two examples of where the issue price of Shares has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

Notes:

  1. The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

Page 15

3470-6084-8688, v. 7

  • (a) The issue price is the current market price ($0.016), being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 23 September 2024, being the latest practicable date before this Notice was signed.

  • (b) Variable A comprises of 430,721,453 existing Shares on issue as at the date of this Meeting, assuming the Company has not issued any Shares in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4.

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

  • (d) No convertible securities (including any issued under the 10% Placement Facility) are exercised or converted into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.

  • (e) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes quoted Equity Securities, it is assumed that those quoted Equity Securities are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

  • The number of Shares on issue (i.e. Variable A) may increase as a result of issues of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue, scrip issued under a takeover offer or upon exercise of convertible securities) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders' meeting.

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%. 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 that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting.

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.

(e) Allocation policy

The Company's allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% 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:

  • (iii) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing Shareholders can participate;

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

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

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

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

  • (f) Issues in the past 12 months

At the date of this Notice, the Company is not proposing to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A and has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable of existing security holders to participate in any such issue.

However, in the event that between the date of this Notice and the date of the Meeting, the Company proposes to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A to one or more existing Shareholders, those Shareholders’ votes will be excluded under the voting exclusion statement in the Notice.

6.4 Additional information

Resolution 3 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

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

7. Resolution 4 – Approval to issue Consideration Shares

7.1

Background

On 27 August 2024, the Company announced that it had signed a sale and purchase agreement with Sunshine Metals Limited ACN 063 388 821 (ASX:SHN) ( Sunshine Metals ) and its wholly owned subsidiary Sunshine (Triumph) Pty Ltd ( Vendor ), for the acquisition of the Triumph Gold Project ( Acquisition Agreement ).

Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, as part consideration for the acquisition of the Triumph Gold Project, the Company has agreed to issue 83,333,333 Shares at a deemed issue price of $0.012 to Sunshine Metals (or its nominee/s), valued at $1 million ( Consideration Shares ).

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Consideration Shares to Sunshine Metals (or its nominee/s) in accordance with the terms of the Acquisition Agreement.

7.2 Summary of the material terms of the Acquisition Agreement

A summary of the material terms of the Acquisition Agreement are detailed below:

  • (a) ( Consideration ):

  • (i) a $50,000 cash deposit, payable by the Company to the Vendor upon execution of the sale and purchase agreement (which has been paid);

  • (ii) $950,000 payable by the Company to the Vendor upon completion of the Triumph Acquisition; and

  • (iii) the issue of the Consideration Shares to Sunshine Metals (or its nominee/s), the subject of this Resolution 4.

  • (b) ( Conditions ): Completion of the Acquisition Agreement is conditional upon (amongst other things):

  • (i) indicative Ministerial approval to the transfer of the Triumph Gold Project (unconditionally or on conditions acceptable to the parties acting reasonably); and

Page 18

3470-6084-8688, v. 7

  • (ii) all necessary third-party consents to the acquisition of the Triumph Gold Project on terms acceptable to the Company.

  • (c) ( Other Payments ): Subject to completion of the Triumph Acquisition, the Company has assumed the obligation to pay:

  • (i) a royalty of 1% on gross revenue actually received from sale/disposal of gold product extracted and recovered from the Triumph Gold Project; and

  • (ii) certain milestone payments on a tiered basis of $1.5 million, $2 million and $2.5 million (with the requirement to pay multiple milestone payments depending on the relevant mineral resources identified) to Roar Resources Pty Ltd.

  • (d) ( Termination ): A party may terminate the Acquisition Agreement in the event any condition to the Acquisition Agreement (refer to section 7.2(b)), is not satisfied or waived by 5.00pm (AEDT) on 27 February 2025, or such other date as agreed to in writing by the parties.

  • (e) ( Escrow ): The Consideration Shares will be subject to the following voluntary escrow:

  • (i) 20,833,333 Consideration Shares will be subject to escrow for 3 months from completion of the Acquisition Agreement;

  • (ii) 20,833,333 Consideration Shares will be subject to escrow for 6 months from completion of the Acquisition Agreement; and

  • (iii) 41,666,667 Consideration Shares will be subject to escrow for 12 months from completion of the Acquisition Agreement.

The sale and purchase agreement contains various other warranties, indemnities and other rights and obligations that are considered standard for a transaction of this nature.

7.3 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 effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 4 will be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1, without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Consideration Shares.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Consideration Shares and, in turn, it may not be able to complete the Acquisition Agreement and acquire the Triumph Gold Project unless the parties are able to reach an alternative commercial agreement in respect to the obligation of the Company to issue the Consideration Shares.

7.4 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:

  • (a) The Consideration Shares will be issued to Sunshine Metals (or its nominee/s), none of whom are a related party or a Material Investor of the Company.

Page 19

3470-6084-8688, v. 7

  • (b) A maximum of 83,333,333 Consideration Shares will be issued.

  • (c) The Consideration Shares will be fully paid ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company and will rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares on issue, subject to the voluntary escrow requirements set out in Section 7.1 above.

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

  • (e) The Consideration Shares will be issued for nil cash consideration as they are being issued as partial consideration under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement to acquire the Triumph Gold Project. Accordingly, no funds will be raised from the issue of the Consideration Shares. The Consideration Shares will each have a deemed price of $0.012.

  • (f) A summary of the material terms of the Acquisition Agreement is set out in Section 7.2 above.

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

7.5 Additional information

Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

8. Resolution 5(a) and (b) – Ratification of issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares

8.1 General

On 27 August 2024, the Company announced a placement to raise approximately $1.8 million (before costs) through the issue of up to 148,608,218 Shares ( Placement Shares ) at an issue price of $0.012 each ( Placement ) to sophisticated and professional investors, none of whom is a related party or (unless otherwise provided in this Notice) a Material Investor ( Placement Participants ).

The Placement is being undertaken in the following tranches:

  • (a) ( Tranche 1 ): 64,608,218 Placement Shares issued on 4 September 2024 using the Company’s available placement capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A as follows:

  • (i) 38,764,930 Placement Shares under Listing Rule 7.1 (the subject of Resolution 5(a)); and

  • (ii) 25,843,287 Placement Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A (the subject of Resolution 5(b)),

(together, the Tranche 1 Placement Shares ); and

  • (b) ( Tranche 2 ): 84,000,000 Placement Shares to be issued subject to Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 (the subject of Resolution 6) ( Tranche 2 Placement Shares ).

Subject to Shareholder approval, the subject of Resolution 7, the Company will issue the Placement Participants one free-attaching unquoted Option for every two (2) Placement Shares subscribed for and issued, exercisable at $0.02 each and expiring 12 months from the date of issue ( Placement Options ).

Page 20

3470-6084-8688, v. 7

Resolution 5(a) and (b) seek the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A respectively.

8.2 Listing Rules 7.1, 7.1A and 7.4

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is in Section 7.3 above.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%. The Company obtained this approval at its annual general meeting held on 30 November 2023.

The issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, effectively uses up part of the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A. This reduces the Company's capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under those Listing Rules for the 12month period following the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

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

The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 5(a) and (b) will be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and the additional 10% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

The Company confirms that the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares did not breach Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.

Resolution 5(a) is passed, 38,764,931 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 5(b) is passed, 25,843,287 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date (assuming the Company's approval under Listing Rule 7.1A remains in force for this period).

If Resolution 5(a) is not passed, 38,764,931 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will continue to be included in the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 38,764,931 Equity Securities for the 12-month period following the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

If Resolution 5(b) is not passed, 25,843,287 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will continue to be included in the Company's 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 25,843,287 Equity Securities for the 12 month period following the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares (assuming the Company's approval under Listing Rule 7.1A remains in force for this period).

The Tranche 1 Placement Participants were identified were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved the Company seeking expressions of interest to participate in the Placement from existing contacts of the Company and various assisting brokers.

  • (b) A total of 64,608,218 Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued as follows:

  • (i) 38,764,930 Tranche 1 Placement Shares using the Company’s available placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • (ii) 25,843,287 Tranche 1 Placement Shares using the Company’s available placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.

Page 22

3470-6084-8688, v. 7

9.2 Listing Rule 7.1

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is in Section 7.3 above.

The issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares.

If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares and, accordingly, will not raise approximately $1 million (before costs) through the issue of these Tranche 2 Placement Shares.
