In accordance with section 249L of the Corporations Act, members are advised that:

-
a member who is entitled to cast 2 or more votes may appoint 2 proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise.

Venturex Resources Limited
Sections 250BB and 250BC of the Corporations Act came into effect on 1 August 2011 and apply to voting by proxy on or after that date. Shareholders and their proxies should be aware of these changes to the Corporations Act, as they will apply to this Annual General Meeting. Broadly, the changes mean that:
-
if proxy holders vote, the proxy holder must cast all directed proxies as directed; and
-
any directed proxies which are not voted will automatically default to the Chairperson, who must vote the proxies as directed by the Shareholder.
Further details on these changes are set out below.
Proxy vote if appointment specifies way to vote
Section 250BB(1) of the Corporations Act provides that an appointment of a proxy may specify the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution and, if it does :
-
the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and
-
if the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution – the proxy must not vote on a show of hands; and
-
if the proxy is the chair of the meeting at which the resolution is voted on – the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and
-
if the proxy is not the chair – the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed).
Transfer of non-chair proxy to chair in certain circumstances
Section 250BC of the Corporations Act provides that if:
-
an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution at a meeting of the Company's members; and
-
the appointed proxy is not the chair of the meeting; and
-
at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded on the resolution; and
-
either of the following applies:
-
the proxy is not recorded as attending the meeting;
-
the proxy does not vote on the resolution,
the chair of the meeting is taken, before voting on the resolution closes, to have been appointed as the proxy for the purposes of voting on the resolution at the meeting.
Resolutions connected with remuneration of Key Management Personnel
If the Chairperson is to act as your proxy (whether by appointment or by default) and you have not given directions on how to vote in the voting directions section of the Proxy Form for Resolutions 1 and 4 (inclusive), the Proxy Form expressly directs and authorises the Chairperson to cast your votes “for” the relevant resolution. This express authorisation is included because, without it, the Chairperson would be precluded from casting your votes as these resolutions are connected with the remuneration of Key Management Personnel.
Subject to any voting prohibitions that may apply to the Chairperson in respect of Resolutions 1 and 4 to restrict the Chairperson from voting undirected proxies, the Chairperson intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolutions 1 and 4.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders of the Company in connection with the business to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting to be held at 10:00 am (WST) on Friday, 27 November 2020 at BDO, 38 Station Street Subiaco, Western Australia.
The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS
In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Annual General Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2020 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. Shareholders may view the Company’s annual financial report online at www.venturexresources.com .
1. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
1.1 General
The Corporations Act requires that a resolution that the Remuneration Report be adopted must be put to the Shareholders at a listed company’s annual general meeting. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or 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 the financial year ending 30 June 2020.
The Chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the Annual General Meeting.
1.2 Voting Consequences
A company is required to put to its Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of Shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the Company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to the vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.
If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene a Shareholder meeting ( 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 previous 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 of the Company.
1.3 Previous Voting Results
At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the previous remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

3 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.
-
4 The Proxy Form notes it is the Chairperson’s intention to vote all undirected proxies in favour of all Resolutions.
2. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF ANTHONY KIERNAN AS A DIRECTOR
2.1 General
ASX Listing Rule 14.4 provides that, other than a managing director, a director of an entity must not hold office (without re-election) past the third AGM following the Director’s appointment or 3 years, whichever is the longer. However, where there is more than one managing director, only one is entitled not to be subject to re-election.
The Company currently has 2 Directors (excluding the Executive Director, Anthony Reilly) and accordingly 1 must retire.
Mr Kiernan, being the Director longest in office since his last re-election, retires by rotation and seeks re-election.
Resolution 2 seeks the approval of Shareholders to re-elect Mr Kiernan as a Director of the Company. Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution. The Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 2.
2.2 Background and experience
Mr Kiernan is a former solicitor with extensive experience gained over 35 years in the management and operation of listed public companies. As both a lawyer and general consultant, he has practiced and advised extensively in the fields of resources, media and information technology. He is Chairman of Pilbara Minerals Limited and Saracen Mineral Holdings Limited, both listed on the ASX.
2.3
Independence
The Board has considered Mr Kiernan’s independence and considers that he is an independent Director.
2.4
Recommendation
The Directors (except for Mr Kiernan) support the re-election of Mr Kiernan and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

Venturex Resources Limited
3. RESOLUTION 3 – RATIFICATION OF ISSUE OF ADDITIONAL NEW OPTIONS
- 3.1 General
On 7 August 2020, at a general meeting of the Company, Shareholders approved the issue of 44,527,272 New Options to participants in a placement and share purchase plan conducted by the Company (as announced to ASX on 10 June 2020).
Due to an oversubscription of the share purchase plan, the Company issued a total of 49,492,207 New Options on 26 August 2020, with 4,964,935 of those New Options ( Additional New Options ) being issued utilising the Company's placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (the Additional New Options Issue ).
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 securities it had on issue at the start of that period.
The Additional New Options Issue did not fall within the exceptions to ASX Listing Rule 7.1, and as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company's capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period from 26 August 2020.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of Equity Securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If the shareholders subsequently approve the issue, the issue is taken to have been approved under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company's capacity to issue further Equity Securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
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 ASX Listing Rule 7.4.
To that end, Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval to the Additional New Options Issue
under and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4.
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Additional New Options Issue will be excluded in calculating the Company's placement capacity limited under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period from 26 August 2020.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Additional New Options Issue will be included in calculating the Company's placement capacity limited under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period from 26 August 2020.
Resolution 3 is an ordinary resolution. The Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 3.
3.2 Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the August Placement:
-
(a) the Additional New Options were issued to participants in the share purchase plan announced to ASX on 10 June 2020 and offered under the documentation released to ASX on 22 June 2020;
-
(b) 4,964,935 Additional New Options were issued;
-
(c) the material terms of the New Options are set out in Annexure A
-
(d) the Additional New Options were issued on 26 August 2020;
-
(e) the Additional New Options were issued for nil consideration and have an exercise price of $0.10c;
9
Venturex Resources Limited
-
(f) the purpose of the offer of New Options was to incentivise participation in the capital raising announced to ASX on 10 June 2020 and no funds were raised by the issue of New Options. Funds raised on exercise of the Additional New Options will be used for general working capital purposes; and
-
(g) a voting exclusion statement is included with Resolution 3.
4. RESOLUTION 4 – ISSUE OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS TO ANTHONY REILLY
4.1 General
The Company is proposing to issue Performance Rights to Mr Anthony Reilly under the Plan.
ASX Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a listed company must not permit any of the following persons to acquire Equity Securities under an employee incentive scheme:
-
(a) a director of the company;
-
(b) an associate of a director of the company; or
-
(c) a person whose relationship with the company or person referred to in ASX Listing Rule 10.14.1 or 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the acquisition should be approved by the company's shareholders;
-
(d) unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The proposed issue of Performance Rights to Mr Anthony Reilly under the Plan falls within ASX Listing Rule 10.14.1 above and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.
Resolution 4 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the proposed issue of Performance Rights to Mr Anthony Reilly under and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.14.
If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Performance Rights to Mr Anthony Reilly.
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will be unable to proceed with the issue of Performance Rights to Mr Anthony Reilly and may need to re-negotiate Mr Anthony Reilly's remuneration package to ensure Mr Anthony Reilly is appropriately remunerated for his role as Executive Director of the Company.
The actual number of Performance Rights proposed to be granted to Mr Reilly is 4,000,000.
Each Performance Right is a right to acquire one Share in the Company (or receive an equivalent cash amount if determined by the Board) upon vesting, subject to the achievement of the performance conditions set out below.
Performance Rights do not carry any dividend or voting rights and are non-transferable, except in limited circumstances or with the consent of the Board.
If Shareholder approval is obtained, the Performance Rights will be granted to Mr Reilly as soon as practicable after this Meeting.
The Performance Rights to be issued to Mr Reilly are subject to the following vesting conditions:
| Allocation # | No’s of PR’s | Vesting Conditions | Expiry Dates |
|---|---|---|---|
| Allocation 1 | 800,000 | Sale or JV of Whim Creek | 2 Years |
| Allocation 2 | 1,600,000 | Material Project or Corporate Transaction | 2 Years |
10
Venturex Resources Limited
| Allocation 3 | 800,000 | Sulphur Springs Resource Increase | 2 Years |
|---|---|---|---|
| Allocation 4 | 800,000 | Final Investment Decision Sulphur Springs | 2 Years |
Vesting Conditions:
Allocation 1 – The Company announcing to ASX that all of the conditions precedent to the Earnin and Joint Venture Agreement with Aurora Minerals Limited announced to ASX on 21 July 2020 ( Whim Creek Agreement ) have been satisfied and completion of the Whim Creek Agreement has occurred.
Allocation 2 – A material transaction at the corporate or project level being announced to ASX, with a material transaction being defined as a transaction being equal or greater than 25% of the market capitalisation of Venturex Resources Limited (as calculated utilising the 30 day VWAP in the 30 consecutive trading days prior to the announcement of the material transaction), and the ASX announcement confirming that the material transaction is binding or unconditional.
Allocation 3 – Exploration success at the Sulphur Springs project resulting in a 1.5Mt increase in inferred resources of copper and/or zinc at minimum cut-off grade, being 0.4% Cu, or Cu less than 0.4% with more than 2% Zn (cut-off grade applied in ASX release dated 21 March 2018) to the Sulphur Springs Project, including additions to the Sulphur Springs Deeps.
Allocation 4 – Board approval of a Final Investment Decision to develop the Sulphur Springs Copper Zinc Project and the release of an ASX Announcement confirming the Final Investment Decision.

-
In the event of a work-related fatality at the Company's Sulphur Springs Project, 20% of all unvested performance rights will automatically expire.
Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution.
The Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 4.
4.2 Section 208 of Corporations Act
In accordance with section 208 of the Corporations Act, to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must obtain Shareholder approval unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
Mr Reilly is a Director and therefore a related party of the Company. The issue of the Performance Rights constitutes giving a financial benefit for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act.
The Board has formed the view that Shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act is not required for the proposed issue of the Performance Rights to Mr Reilly, as the Performance Rights are considered to be reasonable remuneration for the purposes of the exception in section 211 of the Corporations Act. However, Shareholder approval is sought under Listing Rule 10.14.
4.3 Listing Rule 7.1
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that, subject to certain exceptions, a listed company may not issue or agree to issue equity securities in any 12 month period that exceed 15% of the number of securities the company has on issue, except with the prior approval of
11
Venturex Resources Limited
shareholders of the company in a general meeting of the terms and conditions of the proposed issue.
Listing Rule 7.2, exception 14, provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue of performance rights under a Listing Rule 10.14.
Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2, exception 14, the effect of passing Resolution 4 will be to allow the Company to issue the Performance Rights to Mr Anthony Reilly (and/or his nominees) without using up the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
4.4 Specific Information required by Listing Rule 10.15

(l) Any additional persons (to whom Listing Rule 10.14 applies) who become entitled to participate in the Plan after approval of this Resolution 4 and who are not named in this Notice will not participate until approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.14.
-
(m) A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice for Resolution 4.
4.5 Director Recommendation
The Board (excluding Mr Anthony Reilly) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.
5 . RESOLUTION 5 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY
5.1 General
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed entity can issue without Shareholder approval over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.
Under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, however, an 'eligible entity' can seek approval from its shareholders, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit (by an extra 10%) to 25%.
An 'eligible entity' means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $38,274,604.
Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% capacity provided for in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval ( 10% Placement Capacity ).
If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without further Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will be unable to access the 10% Placement Capacity and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 5 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 5 for it to be passed. The Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 5.
5.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution 5:
- (a) Period of 7.1A mandate
If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to utilise the additional 10% Placement Capacity from the date of the Annual General Meeting until the first to occur of the following:
-
(i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting, being 27 November 2021;
-
(ii) the time and date of the Company's next annual general meeting; or
-
(iii) the time and date of any approval by Shareholders of a 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).
13
Venturex Resources Limited
(b) 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 ASX 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 10 ASX trading days of the date in paragraph 5.2(b)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
-
(c) Purposes of funds raised
The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for cash consideration in which case the Company intends to use funds raised for [the acquisition of new resources, assets and investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition), continued exploration expenditure on the Company’s current assets, including the infill drilling program and permitting approvals for the pre-development activities for the Sulphur Springs Copper-Zinc Project and ongoing project administration, general working capital etc].
- (d) Risk of Voting Dilution
Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity may result in the economic and voting dilution of the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue; and there is a risk that:
-
(i) the market price for Equity Securities in that class may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date that this Resolution is approved; and
-
(ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is a discount to the market price for those Equity Securities on the issue date.
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.
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 closing market price of Shares as at 22 October 2020 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 the 10% Placement Capacity.
| Number of Shares on Issue (Variable ‘A’ in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A2) |

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:
-
There are currently 382,746,043 Shares on issue comprising the existing Shares as at the date of this Notice of Meeting.
-
The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 22 October 2020.
-
The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.
-
The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.
-
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.
-
This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
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 Capacity, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.
-
(e) Allocation policy under the 10% Placement Capacity
The Company’s allocation policy for the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will be dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed placement(s).
The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined and as at the date of this Notice there are no proposals for the Company to issue Equity Securities. However, the recipients 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 recipients 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 circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;
15
Venturex Resources Limited
-
(v) prevailing market conditions; and
-
(vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new resources, assets or investments, it is likely that the recipients under the 10% Placement Capacity will be vendors of the new resources, assets or investments, noting that any shares issued under the Company's 10% Placement Capacity will only be issued for cash consideration in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3.
Previous approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 29 November 2019 ( Previous Approval ).
During the 12-month period preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 29 November 2019, the Company issued a total of 28,312,800 Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2. Details of the Equity Securities issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months preceding the Meeting are set out in Annexure C .
- (f) Compliance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.4
When the Company issues Equity Securities pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity, it must:
-
(i) state in its announcement of the proposed issue under ASX Listing Rule 3.10.3 or in its application for quotation of the Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 2.7 that the Equity Securities are being issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A; and
-
(ii) give to ASX immediately after the issue a list of names 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 Listing Rule 7.1A.4.
5.3 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 Resolution 5.
6. ENQUIRIES
