3 RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

3.1 General

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.

Page 7 of 24

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 director’s 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.

3.2 Voting consequences

Under changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, 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 ( Strike ) and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.

If more than 50% of votes cast are 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 of the company 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 of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.

The Company did not receive a Strike at its 2018 annual general meeting and as a result, if the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at this Meeting, the Company will not be required to put a Spill Resolution. However, if the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at this Meeting and a second Strike at the 2020 Annual General Meeting, the Company is then required to put a Spill Resolution.

3.3 Proxy voting restrictions

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

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.

If you appoint the Chair as your proxy (where he/she 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 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/her discretion in exercising your proxy even though this Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of Key Management Personnel.

The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1 .

If you appoint any other person as your proxy, you do not need to direct your proxy and you do not need to mark any acknowledgement on the Proxy Form.

3.4 Directors’ recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

Page 8 of 24

4 RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MR YUFENG ZHUANG

4.1 General

Pursuant to the Constitution of the Company, one-third of the Directors or, if their number is not a multiple of three, the number nearest to one-third, except the Managing Director, are required to retire by rotation at each Annual General Meeting. Additionally, under ASX Listing Rule 14.4, a Director must not hold office without re-election past the third annual general meeting following the director's appointment, or three years whichever is longer. A Director who retires in accordance with these provisions is eligible for re-election.

The board is currently comprised of three non-executive directors, none of whom are presently required to retire and offer themselves for re-election.

However, to satisfy the one-third requirement under the Constitution, Mr Yufeng Zhuang voluntarily retires at the end of the meeting and offers himself for re-election to the Board. Details of Mr Yufeng Zhuang’s qualifications, experience, other directorships and special responsibilities are set in the Directors’ Report on page 6 of the 2018 Annual Report.

Mr Zhuang was nominated to the Board by the former association of Chinese shareholders Messrs Z Zhuang, C Zhuang and Q Lin, to represent their significant investment and ongoing corporate commitments towards the Company.

Mr Zhuang holds a Bachelor of Arts in Economics (Investment Management) from the Central University of Finance and Economics (Bejing, China). He has worked for Ping An Securities in Beijing and Fujian Minxing Group in Zhangzhou, China.

4.2 Directors’ recommendation

The Directors (other than Mr Zhuang) unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 2.

5 RESOLUTION 3 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SECURITIES

5.1 Background

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits the Company (subject to certain exceptions such as pro-rata issues), from issuing or agreeing to issue Equity Securities representing more than 15% of its total issued securities, during a rolling 12-month period without Shareholder approval ( 15% Threshold ).

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 allows an issue of Equity Securities, for which Shareholder approval was not first obtained, to not be counted towards the 15% Threshold when Shareholder approval for that issue is subsequently obtained.

That is, ASX Listing Rule 7.4 permits an issue of Shares to be approved retrospectively. It provides that an issue of securities is treated as having been made with Shareholder approval if ASX Listing Rule 7.1 was not breached at the time the securities were issued and Shareholders subsequently approve (ratify) the issue. This has the effect of refreshing the entity’s 15% Threshold.

5.2 Initial Placement Shares

This Resolution seeks shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the prior issue of a total of 125,521,205 Shares (Initial Placement Shares) to various new and existing professional and sophisticated investors and existing shareholders identified by the Company’s broker, Hartleys Limited (Placees). The placement of these shares was announced to ASX on 27 March 2019 and 4

Page 9 of 24

April 2019. The Initial Placement Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1 at the time the Placement Shares were issued.

By ratifying the prior issue of 125,521,205 Placement Shares to the Placees, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity under LR 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior shareholder approval.

If Shareholders do not ratify the issue of the Placement Shares, the issue will not be affected; however, the Company will be limited in the number of Shares it can issue in the upcoming 12 months without Shareholder approval.

5.3 Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5

The following information is provided pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.5:

Number of Shares issued 125,521,205 Shares were issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.
Price at which the Shares
were issued
The issue price per Initial Placement Share was $0.011 to raise
$1,380, 733.
Terms of the Shares The Initial Placement Shares are fully paid Ordinary Shares in the
capital of the Company, having the same terms and rights as, and
ranking equally with, the Company's existing listed fully paid
ordinary Shares.
Persons
to
whom
the
Company issued the Shares
The Initial Placement Shares were issued to various new
professional and sophisticated investors and existing shareholders
(identified by Hartleys Limited, the Company’s broker), none of
whom are related parties of the Company.
Intended use of funds raised As announced on 27 March 2019, the funds raised by the issue of
the shares will be used to fund the Galalar Silica Project and for
working capital purposes.
Voting exclusion statement A voting exclusion statement is contained in the Notice of Meeting.

5.4 Share Investment – Neil McIntyre (CEO)

The Directors advise that they have considered the investment by Neil McIntrye, CEO of the Company. The Directors have considered Neil's involvement in relation to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules. The Directors have determined that Neil is not a related party for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act. Irrespective of whether Neil were to satisfy the related party provisions contained within the Corporations Act, the arms' length exemption would still apply to the transaction.

The Company engaged in a discussion with the ASX who confirmed that Neil will not be treated as a related party for the purposes of the Listing Rules in relation to his participation in the placement. On this basis, a separate resolution for Shareholder approval is not required for Neil's investment, which instead forms part of this Resolution. Pursuant to LR 7.4, the Directors advise that Neil McIntyre will be excluded from the voting pursuant to the voting exclusion statement in the Notice of Meeting due to his personal interest in this matter.

5.5 No Other Material Information

There is no other material information known to the Company’s Directors which may reasonably be expected to affect Shareholders’ decision making as to whether or not to vote in favour of Resolution

Page 10 of 24

3 other than what is set out in these Meeting Materials and has been previously disclosed to Shareholders.

5.6 Directors’ recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 3.

6 RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL OF SHARE ISSUE TO CHEN (WILLIAM) WANG

6.1 Background

Mr William Wang wishes to purchase 1,500,000 Shares to raise funds for the Galalar Silica Project in North Queensland ( Wang Share Issue ). By virtue of his role as a Company Director, Mr Wang is considered a related party for the purposes of the ASX Listing Rules and Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act. For a related party to be issued Shares, shareholder approval is required under the ASX Listing Rules and also under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, unless an exception to the requirement for shareholder approval applies.

One of the nominated exceptions to the requirement to obtain shareholder approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is where the provision of the financial benefit is on terms that would be reasonable in the circumstances if the Company and the related party were dealing at arm’s length (or on terms less favourable than arm’s length). Given that Mr Wang will be issued Shares on the same arm’s length terms as the parties who have been issued Initial Placement Shares and who are not related parties of the Company, the Board (other than Mr. Wang) considers the issue of Shares under Resolution 4 to constitute provision of a financial benefit on arm's length terms, and accordingly that Shareholder approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required..

ASX Listing Rules 10.11 requires shareholder approval to be obtained by ordinary resolution for the issue of securities to a related party. Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the Wang Share Issue as approval is being sought under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. The Wang Share Issue will not be included in the 15% calculation for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1, in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 14.

6.2 The Wang Share Issue

This resolution seeks shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 to allow the total issue of 1,500,000 Shares to Mr William Wang. Mr William Wang will provide $16,500 as consideration for the Shares at the issue price of $0.011. The purpose for the share issue is to fund progress the Galalar Silica Project.

The Company has not issued the Shares to Mr Wang and has not breached ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Mr Wang and any associate of his will be precluded from voting on this Resolution.

If Shareholders do not approve the Wang Share Issue then the shares will not be issued.

6.3

Information Required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13

The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.13:

Named Person the Securities will Mr. Chen (William) Wang be issued to: Maximum Number of Securities to 1,500,000 be Issued:

total consideration of $16,500 to be paid by Mr. Wang.
Terms
of
the
Issue
of

Securities:

shares already issued by the Company.
Voting Exclusion: A voting exclusion statement is contained within the
Notice of Meeting.
Intended Use of the Funds Raised: The Shares will be issued to assist funding the
progression of the Galalar Silica Project.

6.4 No Other Material Information

There is no other material information known to the Company’s Directors which may reasonably be expected to affect Shareholders’ decision making as to whether or not to vote in favour of Resolution 4 other than what is set out in these Meeting Materials and has been previously disclosed to Shareholders.

6.5 Directors' Recommendation

As Mr William Wang has a personal interest in relation to this resolution he has declined to give a recommendation.

The remaining Directors recommend that eligible Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution 4.

The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 4.

7 RESOLUTION 5 – APPROVAL FOR ISSUE OF BROKER SHARES AND OPTIONS

7.1 Background

On 11 March 2019, the Company engaged Hartleys Limited (ABN 33 104 195 057) ( Hartleys ) to act as Lead Manager for the issue of the Initial Placement Shares. As part payment for Hartleys's services and pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1, the Company has conditionally agreed to issue the following:

1. 5,113, 636 Shares

The Shares are fully paid ordinary shares amounting to payment of $56,250. The Shares are provided as payment for a portion of the advisory fees payable to Hartleys for the Placement Shares;

2. 50, 000, 000 Unlisted Options

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A enables an eligible entity to seek Shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue equity securities in an existing quoted class of the Company’s equity securities – in the Company’s case, Ordinary Shares ( Equity Securities ) up to 10% of its issued capital ( 10% Placement Capacity ). The Additional 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company is an eligible entity. If Shareholders approve this Resolution6, the number of Equity Securities the Company may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out in Section 8.2).

The effect of this Resolution 6 will be to allow the Company 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.

Resolution 6 is a special resolution and 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).

8.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A enables an eligible entity to seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to issue Equity Securities in addition to those under the eligible entity’s 15% annual placement capacity.

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

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

  • (b) has a market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300,000,000 or less.

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 approximately $20 million.

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

(A x D) – E

Where:

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

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

  • (b) plus the number of partly paid Shares that became fully paid in the previous 12 months;

  • (c) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of Shares under the entity’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval;

  • (d) less the number of fully paid Shares cancelled in the 12 months.

  • D is 10%; and

Page 14 of 24

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

8.3 Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A

The following information is provided pursuant to Listing Rule 7.3A:

Minimum price at which the Shares were issued:

  • (a) The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company’s Equity Securities over the 15 Trading Days 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 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

Date of issue

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

  • (a) 12 months after the date of this Meeting; and

  • (b) 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) (after which date, an approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A ceases to be valid).

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 6 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 shoes 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 changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.

The table above uses the following assumptions:

  • (a) Variable A is 1,455,825,647 being the number of ordinary securities on issue on 15 April 2019;

  • (b) The issue price of $0.012 set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 15 April 2019;

  • (c) No Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities;

  • (d) The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity;

  • (e) The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Annual General Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1;

  • (f) The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. For this reason, the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%. 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; and

  • (g) 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.

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

  • (a) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly different upon the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and

Page 16 of 24

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

Issue period

If Shareholders approve Resolution 6, the Company will have a mandate to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A from the date of the Annual General Meeting until the earlier of the following to occur:

  • (a) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting; and

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

(the Additional 10% Placement Period ).

The Company will only issue and allot Equity Securities during the Additional 10% Placement Period.

Purpose of issue under 10% Placement Capacity

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

  • (a) as cash consideration in which case the Company intends to use funds raised for advancement of the Galalar Silica Project and general working capital; or

  • (b) as non-cash consideration for services or acquisition, in such circumstances that the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon issue of Equity Securities.

Allocation policy

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 the proposed placement(s).

The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. 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 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:

  • (a) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;

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

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

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

Compliance with ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A

When the Company issues Equity Securities pursuant to 10% Placement Capacity, it must give to ASX:

Page 17 of 24

  • (a) 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

  • (b) the following information required by ASX Listing Rule 3.10.5A for release to the market:

  • (i) details of the dilution to the existing holders of +ordinary securities caused by the issue;

  • (ii) where the +equity securities are issued for cash consideration, a statement of the reasons why the +eligible entity issued the equity securities as a placement under rule 7.1A and not as (or in addition to) a pro rata issue or other type of issue in which existing ordinary security holders would have been eligible to participate;

  • (iii) details of any underwriting arrangements, including any fees payable to the underwriter; and

  • (iv) any other fees or costs incurred in connection with the issue.
