EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS – AGENDA ITEM

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2019 together with the declaration of the directors, the directors’ report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report.

The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at http://www.datelineresources.com.au.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

2.1 General

Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of the company.

The remuneration report sets out the company’s remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the company for a financial year.

The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.

2.2 Voting consequences

If at least 25% or more of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against the adoption of the remuneration report in two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required (at that second annual general meeting) to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of an extraordinary general meeting at which all of the Directors (other than the Managing Director) must go up for re-election ( Spill Resolution ).

If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene the extraordinary general meeting to consider the Spill Resolution ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.

All of the Directors who were in office when the Directors' report (as included in the Company’s annual financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing Director of the Company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.

Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as Directors is approved will be the Directors.

2.3 Previous voting results

At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

5

2.4 Proxy voting restrictions

Shareholders appointing a proxy for this Resolution should note the following:

(a) If you appoint a member of the Key Management Personnel (other than the Chair) whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such a member as your proxy:

You must direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution. Undirected proxies granted to these persons will not be voted and will not be counted in calculating the required majority if a poll is called on this Resolution.

  • (b) If you appoint the Chair as your proxy (where the Chair is also a member of the Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such a member):

You do not need to direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution. However, if you do not direct the Chair how to vote, you must mark the acknowledgement on the Proxy Form to expressly authorise the Chair to exercise his or her discretion in exercising your proxy even though this Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of Key Management Personnel.

  • (c) If you appoint any other person as your proxy:

You do not need to direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution, and you do not need to mark any further acknowledgement on the Proxy Form.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MR GREGORY HALL

Mr Gregory Hall will retire in accordance with clause 13.2 of the Constitution and being eligible seeks re-election.

Mr Gregory Hall is an exploration geologist with over 40 years of international experience. From 1988 to 2005 he was employed by the Placer Dome group of companies. During his last 5 years with Placer Dome, he served as Chief Geologist - World Wide. Further information in relation to Mr Gregory Hall's experience and expertise is set out in the Company's annual report for the financial year ended 30 June 2019.

The Directors (excluding Mr Hall) unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote FOR this Resolution 2.

4. RESOLUTION 3 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MR ANTHONY FERGUSON

Clause 13.4 of the Constitution allows the Directors to appoint at any time a person to be a Director as an addition to the existing Directors, but only where the total number of Directors does not at any time exceed the maximum number specified by the Constitution.

Any Director so appointed holds office only until the next following annual general meeting and is then eligible for election.

Mr Anthony Ferguson was appointed by the Directors in August 2019 as an addition to the existing Directors and as such will retire in accordance with clause 13.4 of the Constitution and being eligible seeks election.

Mr Anthony Ferguson is an investor, entrepreneur and investment banker. The majority of Mr Ferguson's career was with Macquarie Group where he established and led the natural resources team that advised on many major transactions in the mining industry. Further information in relation to Mr Anthony Ferguson's experience and expertise is set out in the Company's annual report for the financial year ended 30 June 2019.

The Directors (excluding Mr Ferguson) unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote FOR this Resolution 3.

5. RESOLUTION 4 – ISSUE OF SHARES TO GLENN DOVASTON

Shareholder approval is being sought in Resolution 4 to approve the issue of 73,957,500 Shares at a price of $0.002 per Share to Mr Glenn Dovaston. Shareholder approval is required for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11 (but not ASX Listing Rule 7.1 since approval is being sought under ASX Listing Rule 10.11).

Mr Dovaston was appointed by the Board on 22[nd] November 2018 to be the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. He was subsequently appointed on 4[th] December 2018 to also act as the Company’s Managing Director. Mr Dovaston resigned both positions on 4[th] June 2019.

As part of Mr Dovaston’s remuneration package, the Board had agreed with him that he would be paid an overseas allowance of $147,915. It was further agreed that this allowance will be paid via the issue of Shares at an issue price of $0.002 per Share. Any Shares issued to Mr Dovaston will be subject to an escrow period which expires on 1 April 2020. If Shareholder approval for Resolution 4 is not given, Mr Dovaston will be paid $147,915 in cash.

The issue price of the Shares represents 67.91% of the volume weighted average price for Shares on the market for trading securities operated by ASX Limited ( ASX ) for the 60 Trading Days (as that term is defined in the ASX Listing Rules published by ASX Limited) prior to 5 October 2019.

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that subject to certain exceptions (which do not apply in this case) a listed company may not issue shares or options to subscribe for shares to a related party of the Company without obtaining Shareholders' approval. The definition of “related party” under the ASX Listing Rules includes a person who was a director of the Company in the preceding 6 months.

The following information is required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13 in relation to the proposed issue of Shares to Mr Glenn Dovaston:

Maximum number of The maximum number of Shares to be issued by the securities to be issued: Company to Mr Dovaston is 73,957,500. Issue Date: If Resolution 4 is passed, the 73,957,500 Shares will be

If Resolution 4 is passed, the 73,957,500 Shares will be issued by the Company to Mr Dovaston as soon as practicable after the date of the Meeting, but in any event will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting.

Relationship Since the definition of “related party” under the ASX Listing Rules includes a person who was a director of the Company within the preceding 6 months, Mr Dovaston is considered to be a related party of the Company.

Issue Price:

Terms of Securities:

The effective issue price of the Shares to be issued to Mr Dovaston is $0.002 per Share.

The Shares to be issued to Mr Dovaston will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and will rank equally with the existing Shares on issue.

The use of the funds No funds will be raised from this issue of Shares as these raised: Shares will be issued to Mr Dovaston in consideration for his prior services to the Company.

6. RESOLUTION 5 – APPROVAL OF ADDITIONAL PLACEMENT CAPACITY

6.1 General

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an “eligible entity” may seek Shareholder approval to allow it to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued capital through placements in the 12 months after the entity’s annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Capacity ). The 10% Placement Capacity is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

An eligible entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:

  • is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and

  • has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300 million.

The Company is an eligible entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of less than $300 million.

The effect of Resolution 5 will be to allow the Directors to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary securities on issue under the 10% Placement Capacity during the period up to 12 months after the Meeting, without subsequent Shareholder approval and without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity granted under Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company is seeking shareholder approval of Resolution 5 by way of an ordinary resolution.

6.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A came into effect on 1 August 2012 and enables an eligible entity to seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue Equity Securities comprising the 10% Placement Capacity in addition to those under the eligible entity’s 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.1 provides that Shareholder approval obtained under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A for the 10% Placement Capacity applies for the period commencing on the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expiring on the first to occur of the following:

  • (a) the date which is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained; and

  • (b) the date of approval by Shareholders of a transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or ASX Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking).

Shareholder approval was first obtained under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at the Company’s Annual General Meeting on 29 November 2013 and was subsequently re-approved at the Annual General Meetings held on 21 November 2014, 20 November 2015 and 30 November 2016. In accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.1, this Shareholder approval will expire on 14 November 2020. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the 10% Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A for the 12-month period following this Meeting, by way of Resolution 5.

The Equity Securities issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has only one class of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: DTR).

8

The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under an approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated according to the following formula:

(A x D) - E

Where:

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

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

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

  • (iii) plus, the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4; and

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

  • D = 10%.

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

6.3 Technical Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to Resolution 5:

(a) Minimum Price

The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that 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 ASX trading days of the date in paragraph 6.3(a)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(b) Date of Issue

The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Annual General Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:

  • (i) 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting; and

  • (ii) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking).

(c) Risk of voting dilution

Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.

If Resolution 5 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.

9

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2, on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Equity Securities on issue as at the date of this Notice.

The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under 10% Placement Capacity.

Variable A) Funds Raised $1,593,890.782 $3,187,781.56 $6,375,563.13

The number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The table above uses the following assumptions:

  1. The current variable A as at the date of this Notice is 7,969,453,910 Shares.

  2. The issue price set out above is the closing price of the shares on ASX as at the date of this Notice.

  3. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.

  4. The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

  5. This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

10

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

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

  • (ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.

(d) Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity

The Company may seek to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for the following purposes:

(i) as cash consideration, in which case the Company may use funds raised towards the Company's existing business (including exploration expenses), an acquisition of new assets or investments (including expenses associated with such acquisition) and general working capital; or

(ii) as non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new assets and investments, in such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3.

(e) Allocation under the 10% Placement Capacity

The allottees of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the allottees of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.

The Company will determine the allottees at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:

  • (i) the purpose of the issue;

  • (ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;

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

  • (iv) the Company’s circumstances, including, but not limited to, its financial position and solvency;

  • (v) prevailing market conditions; and

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

(f) Previous Approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company previously obtained approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A on 30 November 2016.

For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.6, the Company notes that no Shares were issued in the past twelve months under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

(g) 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 the recipients of the Equity Securities and the number of Equity Securities issued 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 Rules 3.10.5A for release to the market.

11

(h) Voting exclusion

A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not invited any existing Shareholder to participate in an issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Therefore, no existing Shareholders will be excluded from voting on this Resolution.

The Directors unanimously recommended that Shareholders vote FOR this Resolution 5. The Chairperson will cast all available proxies in favour of Resolution 5.

Instructions for Completing ‘Appointment of Proxy’ Form

1.

( Appointing a proxy ): A Shareholder entitled to attend and cast a vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. If a Shareholder is entitled to cast 2 or more votes at the Meeting, the Shareholder may appoint a second proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. However, where both proxies attend the Meeting, voting may only be exercised on a poll. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. A Shareholder who appoints 2 proxies may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a Shareholder appoints 2 proxies and the appointments do not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder’s votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes. Any fractions of votes resulting from the application of these principles will be disregarded. A duly appointed proxy need not be a Shareholder.

2.

( Direction to vote ): A Shareholder may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. The direction may specify the proportion or number of votes that the proxy may exercise by writing the percentage or number of Shares next to the box marked for the relevant item of business. Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose subject to the relevant laws. Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item.

3. ( Signing instructions ):

  • ( Individual ): Where the holding is in one name, the Shareholder must sign.

  • ( Joint holding ): Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the Shareholders should sign.

  • ( Power of attorney ): If you have not already provided the power of attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the power of attorney to this Proxy Form when you return it.

  • ( Companies ): Where the company has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary, that person must sign. Where the company (pursuant to Section 204A of the Corporations Act) does not have a company secretary, a sole director can also sign alone. Otherwise, a director jointly with either another director or a company secretary must sign. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held. In addition, if a representative of a company is appointed pursuant to Section 250D of the Corporations Act to attend the Meeting, the documentation evidencing such appointment should be produced prior to admission to the Meeting. A form of a certificate evidencing the appointment may be obtained from the Company.

  • ( Attending the Meeting ): Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual Shareholders from attending the Meeting in person if they wish. Where a Shareholder completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that Shareholder is suspended while the Shareholder is present at the Meeting.

  • ( Return of Proxy Form ): To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form and return by:

  • (a) hand to the Company at Level 29, 2 Chifley Square Street Sydney; or

  • (b) post to the Company, PO Box 553 South Hurstville NSW 2221 ; or

  • (c) email to the Company at [email protected],

so that it is received not less than 48 hours prior to commencement of the Meeting (i.e. 10:45 am (Sydney time) on 12 November 2019).

Proxy Forms received later than this time will be invalid.
