Explanatory Statement

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in relation to the business to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting.

The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide Shareholders with all information known to the Company which is material to a decision on how to vote on the Resolutions in the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting.

This Explanatory Statement should be read in conjunction with the Notice of Annual General Meeting. Capitalised terms in this Explanatory Statement are defined in the Glossary.

1. Annual Financial Report

The Corporations Act requires that the Directors’ report, Auditors’ report and the financial statements of the Company for the period from incorporation on 6 September 2017 to 30 June 2018 be tabled at the Annual General Meeting. These reports are contained in the Company’s Annual Report.

Neither the Corporations Act nor the Company’s Constitution requires a vote of Shareholders on the reports and financial statements. However, Shareholders will be given reasonable opportunity to raise questions on the reports and ask questions of the Company’s Auditor.

2.

Resolution 1: Adoption of Remuneration Report

The Remuneration Report is set out in the Directors’ report in the Annual Report.

The Corporations Act requires the Company to put a resolution to Shareholders that the Remuneration Report be adopted. In accordance with section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, the vote on the Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

In accordance with Division 9 of Part 2G.2 of the Corporations Act, if 25% or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive annual general meetings of the Company, Shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those annual general meetings on a resolution (a “spill resolution”) that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Company’s directors (other than the managing director) must go up for re-election.

The Company was incorporated on 6 September 2017 and this Meeting will be the first annual general meeting at which approval of a remuneration report is sought. Accordingly, a spill resolution will not under any circumstances be required to be considered at the Annual General Meeting.

A voting exclusion applies to Resolution 1 on the terms set out in the Notice of Meeting. Key Management Personnel and their Closely Related Parties may not vote on this Resolution and may not cast a vote as proxy, unless the proxy appointment gives a direction on how to vote or the proxy is given to the Chairman and expressly authorises the Chairman to exercise the proxy. The Chairman will use any such proxies to vote in favour of Resolution 1.

The Company encourages all Shareholders to cast their votes on Resolution 1 (Adoption of Remuneration Report).

3. Resolution 2: Re-election of Director – Mr Rick Crabb

  • 3.1 Background

  • (a) those who have been in office for 3 years since their appointment or last re-appointment;

  • (b) those who have been longest in office since their appointment or last re-appointment; or

  • 10 -

5. Resolution 4: Approval to Grant Piggy Back Options to Non-Related Parties

5.1 Background

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the grant of up to 18,140,000 Piggy Back Options to non-Related Parties of the Company upon the exercise of Rights Offer Options in accordance with the Piggy Back Options Offer contained in the Prospectus.

As described below, the Piggy Back Options Offer will not proceed unless each of Resolutions 4 and 5(a) – (f) are approved.

Non-Renounceable Rights Offer

On 3 September 2018 the Company announced its intention to undertake a non-renounceable rights offer to raise up to approximately $231,250 (before costs) and issued a prospectus for the following offers of securities:

  • a non-renounceable pro rata rights offer, to Shareholders with a registered address in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore or Switzerland ( Eligible Shareholders ) as at 5:00pm on 7 September 2018 ( Record Date ) of Rights Offer Options at a grant price of $0.01 each, on the basis of 1 Rights Offer Option for every 4 Shares held by the Eligible Shareholder at the Record Date ( Rights Offer );

  • an offer to eligible investors of any shortfall Rights Offer Options for which applications are not received under the Rights Offer, at the same grant price as the Rights Offer ( Shortfall Offer ); and

  • an offer of Piggy Back Options to all applicants who subscribe for Rights Offer Options under the Rights Offer or Shortfall Offer, on the basis of 1 Piggy Back Option granted for every 1 Rights Offer Option exercised at a grant price of nil ( Piggy Back Options Offer ).

Refer to the Company’s Prospectus, and the Company’s ASX announcement dated 3 September 2018 (‘Non Renounceable Entitlement Issue’) for further information in relation to the above offers.

Grant of Rights Offer Options

The Rights Offer and Shortfall Offer closed on 2 October 2018.

A total of 23,125,000 Rights Offer Options were granted by the Company on 9 October 2018 as follows:

  • 16,202,351 Rights Offer Options were granted to Related Parties and non-Related Parties of the Company under the Rights Offer as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1 (being Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 1)); and

  • 6,922,649 Rights Offer Options were granted to non-Related Parties of the Company under the Shortfall Offer as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1 (being Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 3)).

Shareholder approval was not required for the grant of the Rights Offer Options to non-Related Parties and Related Parties under the Listing Rules because the Rights Offer Options were offered to all Shareholders on a non-renounceable pro rata basis.

Piggy Back Options Offer

The total number of Piggy Back Options that may be granted to Related Parties and non-Related Parties under the Piggy Back Options Offer is 23,125,000.

The Piggy Back Options Offer contained in the Prospectus is conditional upon Shareholder approval being obtained at the Meeting for the grant of the Piggy Back Options (i.e. Shareholder approval of Resolutions 4 and 5(a) – (f)) because:

  • (a) the Company does not have sufficient capacity to grant all of these Options pursuant to its Listing Rule 7.1 issuing capacity – the 23,125,000 Piggy Back Options proposed to be granted is greater than 15% of the total 92,500,001 Shares on issue; and

  • 11 -

  • (b) the Piggy Back Options (unlike the Rights Offer Options) are not offered to existing Shareholders on a pro rata basis, but are offered to all holders of Rights Offer Options.

The Piggy Back Options to be granted to Related Parties of the Company if each of Resolutions 5(a) – (f) are approved are in addition to the Piggy Back Options to be granted to non-Related Parties pursuant to Resolution 4.

If Shareholder approval of Resolutions 4 and 5(a) – (f) is received, each holder of a Rights Offer Option will be granted 1 Piggy Back Option for every 1 Rights Offer Option exercised. Exercise of Rights Offer Options will constitute an application for the number of Piggy Back Options that is equivalent to the number of Rights Offer Options exercised.

However, if the market price of Shares traded on ASX does not exceed the exercise price of the Rights Offer Options (being $0.40) prior to the expiry date of the Rights Offer Options (being 5:00pm on 15 December 2018), it is unlikely that Rights Offer Options will be exercised. In these circumstances, some or all of the Piggy Back Options may not be granted, notwithstanding that the grant of these Piggy Back Options may have been approved by Shareholders under Resolutions 4 and 5(a) – (f).

If Shareholder approval of any of Resolutions 4, or 5(a) – (f) is not received, the Piggy Back Options Offer will not proceed and no Piggy Back Options will be granted on exercise of Rights Offer Options.

Use of funds

The purpose of the Offers is to raise funds for the Company’s ongoing exploration of its Silver Mountain Project.

The Company raised $231,250 (before costs) from the grant of Rights Offer Options under the Rights Offer and Shortfall Offer. The Company will raise an additional:

  • $4,625,000 (before costs) if 50% of the Rights Offer Options are exercised; and

  • $9,250,000 (before costs) if 100% of the Rights Offer Options are exercised.

If Resolutions 4 and 5(a) – (f) are approved, the Company will raise up to:

  • $13,875,000 (before costs), assuming that 50% of the Rights Offer Options are exercised, and the Piggy Back Options granted on exercise of such Rights Offer Options are subsequently exercised; and

  • $27,750,000 (before costs) assuming that 100% of the Rights Offer Options are exercised, and the Piggy Back Options granted on exercise of such Rights Offer Options are subsequently exercised.

  • 14 -

6.2 Applicable Listing Rules

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that a company must not issue or agree to issue any Equity Securities (i.e. Piggy Back Options), or other securities with rights of conversion to equity, to a related party without shareholder approval.

6.3

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Section 208(1) of the Corporations Act (set out in Chapter 2E) requires that, where a public company proposes to give a financial benefit to a Related Party, the public company must:

  • obtain the approval of the company’s members in accordance with section 208 of the Corporations Act in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

Section 215 of the Corporations Act provides that Shareholder approval is not required to give a financial benefit to a Related Party if the benefit is given to the Related Party in their capacity as a Shareholder and giving the benefit does not discriminate unfairly against the other Shareholders.

The granting of Piggy Back Options to the Related Party Recipients constitutes the giving of a financial benefit to a Related Party of the Company for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act.

In relation to the proposed grant of Piggy Back Options to the Related Party Recipients:

  • each Eligible Shareholder (including each Related Party Recipient) was entitled to participate in the Rights Offer on an equal pro rata basis;

  • 15 -

  • the grant of Rights Offer Options to the Related Party Recipients occurred as a result of each Related Party subscribing for some or all of its pro rata entitlement under the Rights Offer (i.e. the benefit was given each Related Party Recipient in its capacity as a Shareholder);

  • each Eligible Shareholder that participated in the Rights Offer (including each Related Party Recipient) was offered, pursuant to the Piggy Back Options Offer, Piggy Back Options on the basis of 1 Piggy Back Option granted for every 1 Rights Offer Option exercised (subject to Shareholder approval);

  • subject to Shareholder approval of Resolutions 4 and 5(a) – (f), and the Rights Offer Options held by Related Party Recipients being exercised, the grant of Piggy Back Offer Options to the Related Party Recipients will occur as a direct result of each Related Party subscribing for its pro rata entitlement of Rights Offer Options under the Rights Offer (i.e. the benefit will be given to each Related Party Recipient in its capacity as a Shareholder); and

  • all Eligible Shareholders (including Related Parties) who participated in the Rights Offer and subscribed for Rights Offer Options will participate in the Piggy Back Options Offer on an equal basis, and accordingly the proposed grant of Piggy Back Offer Options to Related Party Recipients will not discriminate unfairly against other Shareholders as all Eligible Shareholders were given the opportunity to participate in the Piggy Back Options Offer on identical terms to the Related Party Recipients.

Accordingly, Shareholder approval is not required for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act for the Company to grant the Piggy Back Options to the Related Party Recipients pursuant to section 215 of the Corporations Act as the benefit proposed to be given to the Related Party Recipients will be given in their capacity as Shareholders and giving the benefit does not discriminate unfairly against the other Shareholders. However Shareholder approval of the grant of Piggy Back Options to Related Parties is required for the purposes of the Listing Rules.

The Related Party Recipients received Rights Offer Options as a result of each Related Party Recipient subscribing for its entitlement under the Rights Offer. The Related Party Recipients did not participate in the Shortfall Offer.

  • 17 -

  • (b) Mr Rick Crabb has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 5(b); and

In the interests of good corporate governance, the Directors decline to make any recommendations as to how Shareholders should vote on any of Resolutions 5(a) – (f) (not just in respect of those Resolutions in which they individually have a material personal interest) as they may each acquire a relevant interest in Piggy Back Options if Resolutions 5(a) – (f) are approved.

7. Resolution 6: Approval of Additional Placement Facility

7.1

Background

Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval for an additional issuing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A ( Additional Placement Facility ).

If approved, Resolution 6 would enable the Company to issue additional Equity Securities (calculated below) over a 12 month period without obtaining Shareholder approval.

Resolution 6 is a special resolution. It must be passed by at least 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders entitled to vote on the Resolution.

7.2 Applicable Listing Rules

Listing Rule 7.1A permits eligible entities that have obtained the approval of shareholders by special resolution at an annual general meeting, to have an additional capacity to issue additional Equity Securities issue equal to approximately 10% of its issued capital, over a 12 month period.

The Company is an eligible entity (being an entity with market capitalisation of $300 million or less and which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 index) and seeks Shareholder approval under this Resolution for the Additional Placement Facility.

7.3

Requirements of Listing Rule 7.1A

  • (a) Quoted securities

Any Equity Securities issued under the Additional Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing class of Equity Securities of the Company that are quoted on ASX.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company has one class of Equity Securities quoted on ASX, being fully paid ordinary Shares.

(b)

Number of Equity Securities that may be issued

Listing Rule 7.1 permits the Company to issue Equity Securities equal to approximately 15% of the Company’s issued capital over a 12 month period without shareholder approval.

The Additional Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 6 is to allow the Company to issue Equity Securities equal to approximately 25% of its issued capital during the next 12 months without first obtaining specific Shareholder approval.

  • 18 -

The exact number of additional Equity Securities that the Company may issue under the Additional Placement Facility is not fixed but is calculated under a formula prescribed by the Listing Rules (set out below).

At the date of this Notice the Company has 92,500,001 Shares on issue. If Resolution 6 is approved, the Company will be permitted to issue (as at the date of this Notice) approximately:

  • (i) 13,875,000 Equity Securities under the Listing Rule 7.1 (15% placement capacity); and

  • (ii) 9,250,000 Equity Securities under the Additional Placement Capacity.

(c)

Formula for Additional Placement Facility

If Resolution 6 is approved, the Company may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after this Meeting, the number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

Additional Placement Capacity = (A x D) – E

where:

  • A = the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue 12 months before the issue date or date of agreement to issue:

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;

  • plus the number of partly paid ordinary securities that became fully paid in the 12 months;

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of ordinary securities under Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.4;

  • less the number of fully paid ordinary securities cancelled in the 12 months.

  • D = 10%

  • E = 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 or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

7.4 Listing Rule information requirements

Listing Rule 7.3A requires that the following information be provided to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 6 for the purposes of obtaining approval under Listing Rule 7.1A:

(a) Minimum price at which Equity Securities may be issued

The issue price of any Equity Security under the Additional Placement Facility will not be less than 75% of the VWAP for securities in the same 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 securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (ii) if the securities are not issued within 5 trading days of the date above, the date on which the securities are issued.

  • (b) Risk of economic and voting dilution

If Resolution 6 is approved and the Company issues securities under the Additional Placement Facility, then there is a risk to existing Shareholders of economic and voting dilution, including the risk that:

  • 19 -

  • (i) the market price for Equity Securities in the same class may be significantly lower on the issue date of the new Equity Securities than on the date of this Meeting; and

  • (ii) the new Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for Equity Securities in the same class on the issue date or the new Equity Securities may be issued in consideration for the acquisition of a new asset.

The table below identifies the potential dilution to existing Shareholders following the issue of Equity Securities under the Additional Placement Facility (based on the formula set out above) using different variables for the number of issued Shares and the market price of Shares.

The numbers are calculated on the basis of the latest available market price of Shares before the date of this Notice and the current number of Shares on issue.

The above table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  1. the latest available market price of Shares, being the closing price as at 9 October 2018, was $0.38;

  2. 20 -

  3. the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the Additional Placement Facility;

  4. existing Shareholders’ holdings do not change from the date of this Meeting to the date of the issue under the Additional Placement Facility;

  5. the Company issues Shares only and does not issue other types of Equity Securities (such as Options) under the Additional Placement Facility;

  6. the impact of placements under Listing Rule 7.1 or following the exercise of Options is not included in the calculations; and

  7. Economic dilution (ED) is calculated using the following formula:

ED = (MP - (NMC / TS)) / MP

where:

  • MP = the market price of shares traded on ASX, expressed in dollars;

  • MC = market capitalisation prior to issue of Equity Securities, being the MP multiplied by the number of shares on issue;

  • NMC = notional market capitalisation, being the MC plus the NSV;

  • NSV = new security value, being the number of new Equity Securities multiplied by the issue price of those Equity Securities; and

  • TS = total shares on issue following new Equity Security issue.

(c) Date by which Equity Securities may be issued

Equity Securities may be issued under the Additional Placement Facility for 12 months after the Meeting (i.e. until 16 November 2019).

However, the approval of the Additional Placement Facility under this Resolution will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking).

(d) Purpose for which Equity Securities may be issued

The Company may seek to issue Equity Securities under the Additional Placement Facility for the following purposes:

  • (i) cash consideration to fund business growth, to acquire new assets or make investments, to develop the Company’s existing assets and operations and for general working capital; and

  • (ii) non-cash consideration to acquire new assets or make investments; in these circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3.

  • (e)

Allocation policy

The Company’s allocation policy for the issue of Equity Securities under the Additional Placement Facility will depend on the prevailing market conditions at the time of the proposed issue. The allottees will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to factors such as:

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

  • 21 -

  • (ii) the effect of the issue of the new securities on the control of the Company;

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

  • (iv) advice from corporate and other advisors.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not identified any proposed allottees of Equity Securities using the Additional Placement Facility. However, the eventual allottees may include existing substantial Shareholders, other Shareholders and/or new investors.

None of the allottees will be a Related Party or an associate of a Related Party of the Company, except as permitted under Listing Rule 7.2. Existing Shareholders may or may not be entitled to subscribe for Equity Securities under the Additional Placement Facility and it is possible that their shareholding will be diluted.

If the Additional Placement Facility is used to acquire new assets or investments, then it is likely that the allottees will be the vendors of these assets/investments.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities under the Additional Placement Facility.

(f) Additional information on issued securities

The Company was admitted to the official list of ASX on 14 March 2018. Accordingly, the Company has not previously obtained approval under Listing Rule 7.1A.

(g) Directors’ recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6 as it will give the Company the flexibility to raise and fund necessary working capital whilst preserving the Company’s cash reserves.
