EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared to provide the information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether to pass the Resolutions.
1. RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES
On 26 April 2022, the Company announced to ASX that it had issued 2,200,000 Shares at $0.11 per Share. These Shares were issued to JGS Consulting, Hanian Investments and Delta Gamma Future with the funds raised by the Company from the issuance of these Shares used to continue to advance the Company’s exploration and development projects in the United States and for general working capital purposes.
Broadly speaking, and subject to a limited 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 12 month period.
As the issue referred to above does not fit within any of the exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, thereby reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 months following the date of issue.
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to ratify an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further securities without approval under that rule.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for any such future issues under Listing Rule 7.1. To this end, Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification of the issue the subject of this Resolution for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
If Resolution 1 is passed, the issue the subject of Resolution 1 will be excluded from 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 months following the date of issue (which was 14 April 2022).
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the issue the subject of Resolution 1 will be included in the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 months following the date of issue (which was 14 April 2022).
In accordance with the disclosure requirements of Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided by the Company:
| Listing Rule | Required Disclosure |
|---|---|
| 7.5.1 | The Company issued the Shares the subject of Resolution 1 to JGS Consulting Pty Ltd, Hanian Investments Pty Ltd and Delta Gamma Future. |
| 7.5.2 | The Company issued a total of 2,200,000 fully paid ordinary shares (each of which ranked equally with all other Shares on issue at the time of their issue). |
13
| Listing Rule | Required Disclosure |
|---|---|
| 7.5.3 | N/A |
| 7.5.4 | The Shares the subject of Resolution 1 were issued on 14 April 2022. |
| 7.5.5 | The Shares the subject of Resolution 1 were issued by the Company for $0.11 per Share. |
| 7.5.6 | The Company raised a total of $242,000 from the issuance of the Shares the subject of Resolution 1. These funds were used by the Company to continue to advance the Company’s exploration and development projects in the United States and for general working capital purposes. |
| 7.5.7 | N/A |
| 7.5.8 | Please refer to the voting exclusion statement set out in the Notice of Meeting. |
The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote FOR Resolution 1.
The Chair will cast all available proxies in favour of Resolution 1.
2. RESOLUTION 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES
On 26 April 2022, the Company announced to ASX that it had issued 2,918,644 Shares in consideration for services rendered (i.e. rather than for cash consideration). These Shares were issued to Abundant Water Wells, A Mariano, M Bren, J Theil and C Fletcher (in each case, at a notional price of $0.118 per Share) following the provision by these persons of services related to the Company’s US exploration and mine development activities.
Broadly speaking, and subject to a limited 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 12 month period.
As the issue referred to above does not fit within any of the exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, thereby reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 months following the date of issue.
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to ratify an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further securities without approval under that rule.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for any such future issues under Listing Rule 7.1. To this end, Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder ratification of the issue the subject of this Resolution for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

As the issue referred to above does not fit within any of the exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, thereby reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 months following the date of issue.
15
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to ratify an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for any such future issues under Listing Rule 7.1. To this end, Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification of the issue the subject of this Resolution for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
If Resolution 3 is passed, the issue the subject of Resolution 3 will be excluded from 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 months following the date of issue (which was 27 April 2022).

9. RESOLUTION 9 – PROPOSED ISSUE OF SHARES
On 19 August 2022, the Company announced to ASX that it had received firm commitments to issue a total of 62,500,000 Shares to a number of sophisticated and professional investors. As part of this placement, the Company also agreed to grant these investors 15,625,000 Options, the terms of which are set out below.
Of the 62,500,000 Shares referred to above, 43,361,119 were issued out of the Company’s then available Listing Rule 7.1 placement capacity at $0.10 per Share. A further 743,175 Shares were issued out of the Company’s then available Listing Rule 7.1A placement capacity at $0.10 per Share.
The proposed issue of the remaining 18,395,706 Shares, as well as the proposed issue of 15,625,000 Options, are subject to Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
The funds raised by the Company from the issuances of the Shares referred to above will be used by the Company:
-
for further gold and rare earth exploration at the Company’s Colosseum Project in California; and
-
for general working capital (including to pay the costs of the placement) purposes.
Broadly speaking, and subject to a limited 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 12 month period.
Since the proposed issuance of the Shares the subject of Resolution 9 does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 (which are set out in Listing Rule 7.2) and because it exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is required.
If Resolution 9 is passed, it will have the effect of enabling the Shares proposed to be issued in order to complete the placement referred to above to be excluded from the formula to calculate the number of securities which the Company may issue in any 12 month period in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 9 is not passed, the Company will still be able to proceed with the proposed issuance although that issuance will need to be included in the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 months following the date of issue.
24
To the above noted ends, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the proposed issue of 18,395,706 Shares to clients of Novus Capital for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1. The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of satisfying the disclosure requirements in Listing Rule 7.3:
| Listing Rule | Required Disclosure |
|---|---|
| 7.3.1 | The Company is proposing to issue the Shares the subject of Resolution 9 to a number of sophisticated and professional investors each of whom are clients of Novus Capital.

| 7.3.5 | The Shares the subject of Resolution 9 will be issued by the Company for $0.10 per Share. |
| 7.3.6 | The Company will receive a total of approximately $1.84 million from the issuance of the Shares the subject of Resolution 9.

Since the proposed issuance of the Options the subject of Resolution 10 does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 (which are set out in Listing Rule 7.2) and because it exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is required.
If Resolution 10 is passed, it will have the effect of enabling the Options proposed to be issued in order to complete the placement referred to above to be excluded from the formula to calculate the number of securities which the Company may issue in any 12 month period in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 10 is not passed, the Company will still be able to proceed with the proposed issuance although that issuance will need to be included in the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 months following the date of issue.
To the above noted ends, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the proposed issue of 15,625,000 Options to clients of Novus Capital for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1. The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of satisfying the disclosure requirements in Listing Rule 7.3:
| Listing Rule | Required Disclosure |

11. RESOLUTION 11 – PROPOSED ISSUE OF OPTIONS
On 19 August 2022, the Company announced to ASX that it had received firm commitments to issue a total of 62,500,000 Shares to a number of sophisticated and professional investors. As part of this placement, the Company also agreed to grant Novus Capital 10,937,500 Options, the terms of which are set out below.
The proposed issue of the 10,937,500 Options is subject to Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 because the Company utilised all of the Company’s then available placement capacity under and in connection with the issuances the subject of Resolutions 8, 9 and 10.
The funds raised by the Company from the issuances of the Shares referred to above will be used by the Company:
-
for further gold and rare earth exploration at the Company’s Colosseum Project in California; and
-
for general working capital (including to pay the costs of the placement) purposes.
Broadly speaking, and subject to a limited 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 12 month period.
27
Since the proposed issuance of the Options the subject of Resolution 11 does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 (which are set out in Listing Rule 7.2) and because it exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is required.
If Resolution 11 is passed, it will have the effect of enabling the Options proposed to be issued to Novus Capital (or its nominee) to be excluded from the formula to calculate the number of securities which the Company may issue in any 12 month period in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 11 is not passed, the Company will still be able to proceed with the proposed issuance although that issuance will need to be included in the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 months following the date of issue.
To the above noted ends, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the proposed issue of 10,937,500 Options to Novus Capital for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1. The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of satisfying the disclosure requirements in Listing Rule 7.3:
| Listing Rule | Required Disclosure |
|---|---|
| 7.3.1 | The Company is proposing to issue the Options the subject of Resolution 11 to Novus Capital in consideration for Novus Capital managing and arranging the issuances the subject of Resolutions 8, 9 and 10. This issuance is in addition to the 6% fee the Company agreed to pay Novus Capital for managing and arranging the issuances the subject of Resolutions 8, 9 and 10. |
| 7.3.2 | The Company is proposing to issue 10,937,500 Options which will be exercisable at any time on or before the 3rdanniversary of their date of issue at $0.135. |
| 7.3.3 | Further detail in relation to the terms of these Options is set out in Schedule 1. |
| 7.3.4 | While it is intended that the Options the subject of Resolution 11 will be issued as soon as possible after the Meeting, they will, nonetheless, be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting. |
| 7.3.5 | The Options the subject of Resolution 11 will be issued by the Company for nil cash consideration. |
| 7.3.6 | The proceeds received by the Company following the exercise of Options (if any) will be used to continue to advance the Company’s exploration and development projects in the United States and for general working capital purposes. |

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:
-
LR 10.11.1 : a related party;
-
LR 10.11.2 : 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;

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
Since Mr Johnson is a person to whom Listing Rule 10.11.1 applies and because the proposed issuance the subject of Resolution 12 does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 10.11 (which are set out in Listing Rule 10.12), Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11 is required.
If Resolution 12 is passed, it will have the effect of allowing the Company to issue 2,000,000 Shares at $0.10 per Share and 500,000 Options for nil cash consideration to Mr Johnson. If Resolution 12 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the proposed issuance of Shares and Options the subject of Resolution 12.
To the above noted ends, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the proposed issue of 2,000,000 Shares and 500,000 Options to Mr Johnson for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11. The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of satisfying the disclosure requirements in Listing Rule 10.13:

-
LR 10.11.1 : a related party;
-
LR 10.11.2 : 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;
-
LR 10.11.3 : 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;
-

Since Mr Ferguson is a person to whom Listing Rule 10.11.1 applies and because the proposed issuance the subject of Resolution 13 does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 10.11 (which are set out in Listing Rule 10.12), Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11 is required.
If Resolution 13 is passed, it will have the effect of allowing the Company to issue 2,000,000 Shares at $0.10 per Share and 500,000 Options for nil cash consideration to Mr Ferguson.

14. RESOLUTION 14 - PROPOSED ISSUE OF SHARES TO SOUTHERN CROSS
Pursuant to Resolution 14, Shareholder approval is being sought for the proposed issue of 6,650,000 Shares to Southern Cross Exploration NL ( Southern Cross ), a "substantial" (as that word is defined in Listing Rule 10.11.3) holder of Shares in the Company.
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:
-
LR 10.11.1 : a related party;
-
LR 10.11.2 : 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;
-
LR 10.11.3 : 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;
-
LR 10.11.4 : an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
LR 10.11.5 : 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 should be approved by its shareholders,

Since Southern Cross is a person to whom Listing Rule 10.11.3 applies and because the proposed issuance the subject of Resolution 14 does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 10.11 (which are set out in Listing Rule 10.12), Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11 is required.
If Resolution 14 is passed, it will have the effect of allowing the Company to issue 6,650,000 Shares to Southern Cross at $0.10 per Share. If Resolution 14 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the proposed issuance of Shares the subject of Resolution 14.

|---|---|

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.
