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 or otherwise in the Explanatory Statement.
1. Annual Financial Report
The Corporations Act requires that the annual financial statements, Directors’ report and Auditor’s report of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2024 be tabled at the Meeting. These reports are contained in the 2024 Annual Report which is available on the Company’s website, eaglemountain.com.au/.

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
2.1
Background
Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution to approve the Remuneration Report. The Remuneration Report is set out in the Directors’ report which forms part of the 2024 Annual Report.
The vote on Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Board or the Company. Notwithstanding this, the Board will take the outcome of the vote into consideration when considering remuneration policy of the Company going forward.
2.2
Corporations Act requirements
Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires a listed public company put a resolution to its shareholders that the remuneration report set out in the directors’ report for the preceding financial year be adopted. The resolution is advisory only and does not bind the relevant company or its directors.
If 25% or more of votes that are cast on the resolution are voted against the adoption of the remuneration report at two consecutive annual general meetings of a company, its shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those annual general meetings on a resolution (a Spill Resolution ) that a further meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the offices of director are vacated (other than the office of managing director) and each such office will be put to a vote.
2.3 Directors’ recommendation
The Directors decline to make a recommendation as to how Shareholders should vote in respect of Resolution 1 as they each have an interest in the outcome of the Resolution.

Mr Crabb will retire at the Meeting by rotation, and being eligible, submits himself for re-election.
If Resolution 2 is not passed, Mr Crabb will not be re-elected to his current directorship position, in which case the Board may consider an appointment to fill a casual vacancy pursuant to the Constitution, with ratification at the Company’s next annual general meeting.

3.2 Legal requirements
Listing Rule 14.5 requires that a listed entity which has directors must hold an election of directors at each annual general meeting. The rule does not apply to an entity’s managing director, unless there is more than one managing director, in which case only one is entitled not to be subject to re-election.
Article 6.3(c) of the Constitution provides that if the Company has 3 or more Directors, one third of the Directors (rounded down to the nearest whole number) must retire at each annual general meeting of the Company. The Directors to retire must be those who have held their office as Director the longest period of time since their last election or appointment to that office. A Director who retires is eligible for re-election at that meeting.
The rule requires Rick Crabb retire at or before the Meeting.
3.3 Biography - Mr Rick Crabb, Non-Executive Director (Chairman)
Rick Crabb holds degrees of Bachelor of Jurisprudence (Honours), Bachelor of Laws and Master of Business Administration from the University of Western Australia. He practised as a solicitor from 1980 to 2004 with Robinson Cox (now Clayton Utz) and Blakiston & Crabb (now Gilbert + Tobin) specialising in mining, corporate and commercial law, advised in relation to numerous project developments in Australia and Africa. Rick has since focused on his public company directorships and investments. He has been involved as a director and strategic shareholder in a number of successful public companies operating in mining, oil production and property development. He is currently non-executive chairman of Ora Gold Limited and Leo Lithium Limited.
If Resolution 2 is passed, Rick Crabb will be re-elected as a Non-Executive Director of the Company. If Rick Crabb is not re-elected, he will retire as a Director. The Board may consider an appointment to fill a casual vacancy pursuant to the Constitution, with ratification at the Company’s next AGM.
3.4
Directors’ recommendations
The Directors (other than Mr Crabb) support the re-election of Mr Crabb and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2. Mr Crabb declines to make a voting recommendation noting his interest in the Resolution.
4. Resolution 3: Ratification of prior issue of Placement Shares and Placement Options
4.1 Background
As announced on 16 and 22 April 2024, the Company completed a placement of Shares and attaching Options to Exempt Investors to raise approximately $1.1 million, comprising:
-
the issue of residual shortfall from the Company’s renounceable entitlement offer of new Shares and attaching new Options which closed on 20 March 2024, being 6,573,150 Shares and 6,573,150 attaching Options ( Shortfall Placement ); and
-
an additional placement of 11,666,667 Shares ( Placement Shares ) and 11,666,667 attaching Options, exercisable at $0.20 each on or before 31 March 2027 ( Placement Options ), using the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1 issuing capacity ( Additional Placement ).
The issue of the Shares and attaching Options under the Shortfall Placement falls within exception 3 of Listing Rule 7.2 and accordingly, the issue did not use any of the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1 issuing capacity.
4.2 Listing Rule requirements
Subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed entity 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 issue of the Placement Shares and Placement Options under the Additional Placement to Additional Placement Participants does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1, as set out in Listing Rule 7.2.
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed entity to subsequently ratify and approve an issue of Equity Securities after it has been made or agreed to be made, provided that the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and therefore does not reduce the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under that rule.
If Resolution 3 is approved, the Company’s issuing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 will be restored to the extent of the Equity Securities the subject of Resolution 2. This will allow the Company to issue further Equity Securities of an equivalent number (i.e. 23,333,334) in the next 12 months.
However, if Resolution 3 is not approved, the Company’s issuing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 will not be restored in respect of the Placement Shares and Placement Options.

5. Resolution 4: Approval to issue Accrued Interest Shares to Metech Super Pty Ltd
5.1
Background
On 15 May 2023, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Metech Super Pty Ltd as trustee for the Metech No 2 Super Fund Pty Ltd ( Metech ), an entity associated with Managing Director, Charles Bass ( Loan Agreement ).
Under the Loan Agreement, Metech agreed to make $3,000,000 ( Loan ) available to the Company until 31 December 2024, with interest accruing on the outstanding amount at a rate of 10% per annum.
The Company, Metech and Silver Mountain Mining Nominee Pty Ltd as trustee for the Silver Mountain Trust ( Silver Mountain ), an entity also associated with Managing Director, Charles Bass, entered into a deed of assignment, assumption and variation in relation to the Loan Agreement ( Assignment Deed ) which took effect on 30 September 2024 to:
-
give effect to the assignment to, and assumption by, Silver Mountain of Metech’s contractual rights and obligations under the Loan Agreement;
-
extend the maturity date of the Loan to 31 December 2025; and
-
amend the terms of the Loan such that interest will not accrue on the Loan balance.
Under the terms of the Assignment Deed the Company has agreed to issue Metech the Accrued Interest Shares, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, in satisfaction of interest accrued on the Loan to 30 September 2024.
Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution seeking Shareholder approval for the issue of the Accrued Interest Shares to Metech or its nominee.
5.2
Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:
-
10.11.1 – a related party;
-
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;
-
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;
-
10.11.4 – an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
10.11.5 – a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders, unless it obtains approval of its shareholders.
The issue of Accrued Interest Shares to Metech falls within Listing Rule 10.11.4 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing rule 10.12. It therefore requires approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
Resolution 4 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue Accrued Interest Shares to Metech under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Accrued Interest Shares to Metech. As approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.11, the issue of Accrued Interest Shares will not use up any of the Company’s 15% issuing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 4 is not approved, the Company will not be able to proceed with the proposed issue of the Accrued Interest Shares and:
-
the proposed assignment, assumption and variation set out in the Assignment Deed will still be effective; and
-
the Company will be required to pay the Accrued Interest to Metech in cash.
5.3
Corporations Act requirements
For a public company to give a financial benefit to a Related Party of the public company, either:
EAGLE MOUNTAIN MINING LIMITED – NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING, EXPLANATORY STATEMENT AND PROXY FORM
9
-
the public company must first obtain the approval of its shareholders in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act, and give the benefit within 15 months following such approval; or
-
the giving of the financial benefit must fall within a prescribed exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
Section 210 of the Corporations Act provides that shareholder approval is not required to give a financial benefit on terms that:
-
would be reasonable in the circumstances if the public company and the related party were dealing at arm’s length; or
-
are less favourable to the related party than arm’s length terms.
The Directors (other than Charles Bass) consider that the Accrued Interest Shares are being issued as consideration for the provision of capital invested into the Company under the Loan Agreement. Accordingly, the proposed issue reflects arm’s length terms.
The Directors (other than Charles Bass) have therefore resolved that Shareholder approval is not required for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act as the exception under section 210 of the Corporations Act applies.
5.4 Information required by Listing Rule 10.13
Listing Rule 10.13 requires that information be provided to Shareholders for the purposes of obtaining Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 as follows:
- (a) The name of the person
Metech Super Pty Ltd ATF The Metech No. 2 Super Fund A/C
- (b) Which category in rules 10.11.1 – 10.11.5 the person falls and why
Metech is an entity associated with Mr Charles Bass, the Managing Director of the Company and consequently falls under Listing Rule 10.11.4.
- (c) The number and class of securities to be issued to the person
The Company proposes to issue 7,782,854 Accrued Interest Shares to Metech, subject to Shareholder approval of Resolution 4.
- (d) The terms of securities
The Accrued Interest Shares are fully paid ordinary shares ranking equally with all other Shares on issue.
- (e) The date on which the company will issue the securities, which must not be more than 1 month after the date of the meeting
Subject to Shareholder approval, the Company proposes to issue the Accrued Interest Shares shortly following the Meeting, or otherwise on one date no later than one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules).
- (f) The price or consideration the entity will receive for the issue
No funds will be raised from the issue of the Accrued Interest Shares as the Accrued Interest Shares will be issued in lieu of interest owing under the Loan Agreement.
- (g) The purpose of the issue
Refer to Section 5.1.
- (h) The material terms of an agreement relating to the proposed issue of securities
A summary of the material terms of the Loan Agreement, as varied by the Assignment Deed, is set out in Schedule 1 to this Explanatory Statement.
- (i) The voting exclusion statement
A voting exclusion statement is set out in this Notice under the Voting Exclusion Section on page 3.
5.5 Directors’ recommendation
The Directors (excluding Charles Bass who has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 4) unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4 to permit the Company to issue the Accrued Interest Shares to:
EAGLE MOUNTAIN MINING LIMITED – NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING, EXPLANATORY STATEMENT AND PROXY FORM
10
-
satisfy its obligation to pay Interest under the Loan Agreement;
-
preserve the Company’s cash reserves; and
-
give effect to the proposed assignment to, and assumption by, Silver Mountain of Metech’s contractual rights and obligations under the Loan Agreement.
6. Resolution 5: Approval of Additional Issuance Capacity
6.1 Background
Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for an additional issuing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A ( Additional Issuance Capacity ).
If approved, the Resolution will enable the Company to issue additional Equity Securities (calculated below) over a 12 month period without having to obtain Shareholder approval. If the Resolution is not approved, the Company’s ability to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval will remain limited to the amount permitted under Listing Rule 7.1
Resolution 5 is a special resolution. It must be passed by at least 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and entitled to vote on the Resolution.
6.2
Applicable Listing Rules
Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an eligible entity may seek shareholder approval by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to allow it to issue Equity Securities totalling up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting (i.e. the Additional Issuance Capacity). This capacity is in addition to the 15% annual issuance capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
An “eligible entity” for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company meets the requirements of an eligible entity for this purpose because it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of less than $300 million.
6.3 Overview of Listing Rule 7.1A
(a) Quoted securities
Equity Securities issued under the Additional Issuance Capacity must be the same as an existing class of Equity Securities of the Company quoted on ASX.
As at the date of this Notice, the Company has only one class of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being fully paid ordinary Shares.
(b) Formula for calculating Additional Issuance Capacity
Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that the Company may issue or agree to issue a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula under the Additional Issuance Capacity:
Additional Issuance Capacity = (A x D) – E
where:
-
A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the commencement of the relevant period:
-
plus the number of Shares issued in the period from the date the Company was admitted to the official list of ASX to the date immediately preceding the date of the issue or agreement ( Relevant Period ) under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 (other than exceptions 9, 16 or 17);
-
plus the number of Shares issued in the Relevant Period on the conversion of convertible securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:
-
the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the Relevant Period; or
-
the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4;
-
-
plus the number of Shares issued in the Relevant Period under an agreement to issue securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where:
- the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the Relevant Period; or
EAGLE MOUNTAIN MINING LIMITED – NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING, EXPLANATORY STATEMENT AND PROXY FORM
11
- the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under Listing Rules 7.1 or rule 7.4;
- plus the number of Shares issued in the Relevant Period with approval under Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4;
- plus the number of partly paid ordinary securities that became fully paid in the Relevant Period; and
- less the number of Shares cancelled in the Relevant Period;
-
D is 10%; and
-
E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the Relevant Period where the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by the Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.4.
-
(c) Interaction with Listing Rule 7.1
Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number of Equity Securities that an entity may 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 period, subject to certain exceptions.
The Additional Issuance Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
6.4 Listing Rule requirements
The following information is provided in relation to Resolution 5, in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A:
- (a) Period over which approval will be valid
The Additional Issuance Capacity will commence on date of the Meeting and expire on the earlier of:
-
12 months from the Meeting date (28 November 2025);
-
the Company’s next annual general meeting; and
-
when a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (change to nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (change involving main undertaking) is approved by Shareholders.
(b) Minimum price at which Equity Securities may be issued
The issue price of any Equity Security under the Additional Issuance Capacity 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:
-
the date on which the price at which the securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
if the securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date above, the date on which the securities are issued.
(c) Purposes for which funds may be used
The Company does not have any current intention to issue Equity Securities using the Additional Issuance Capacity. However, it may decide to do so for cash consideration to fund working capital requirements, advancing projects (including those outlined in its initial public offer prospectus), potential acquisitions, meet financial commitments and capital management activities.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.3 upon any issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.
(d) Allocation policy
The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the Additional Issuance Capacity.
The Company has not yet identified allottees to receive the Equity Securities under the Additional Issuance Capacity. However, they may include current Shareholders, new investors, or both. None of the allottees will be Related Parties or Associates of Related Parties.
Potential allottees will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:
- the purpose of the issue;
EAGLE MOUNTAIN MINING LIMITED – NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING, EXPLANATORY STATEMENT AND PROXY FORM
12
-
the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company including, but not limited to, an entitlements issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;
-
the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
the financial situation and solvency of the Company;
-
prevailing market conditions; and
-
advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
-
(e)
Risk of economic and voting dilution
Any issue of Equity Securities under the Additional Issuance Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive Shares under the issue.
If Resolution 5 is approved and the Company issues Equity Securities under the Additional Issuance Capacity, then there is a risk to existing Shareholders of economic and voting dilution, including the risk that:
-
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 the Meeting; and
-
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.
This may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.
The table below identifies the potential dilution to existing Shareholders following the issue of Equity Securities under the Additional Issuance Capacity (based on the formula set out above) using different variables for the number of issued Shares and the market price of Shares.
| Number of Shares on issue |
Share price | New Shares issued |
Funds raised | Voting dilution |

Notes: The above table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
the current market price is the closing price at which Shares were traded on 3 October 2024;
-
the current Shares on issue are the Shares at 3 October 2024, being 392,874,922 Shares;
-
the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the Additional Issuance Capacity;
-
existing Shareholders’ holdings do not change from the date of this Meeting to the date of the issue under the Additional Issuance Capacity;
-
the Company issues Shares only and does not issue other types of Equity Securities (such as Options) under the Additional Issuance Capacity;
-
the impact of placements under Listing Rule 7.1 or following the conversion of convertible securities (e.g. Options) is not included in the calculations; and
-
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 market capitalisation 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.
(f) Details of prior issues
Shareholders approved an Additional Issuance Capacity at the Company’s 2023 annual general meeting, held on 29 November 2023.
The Company has not issued Shares utilising its Additional Issuance Capacity during the 12 month period prior to the date of this Notice.
6.5 Directors’ recommendation
The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5 as it will give the Company the flexibility to raise additional working capital whilst preserving the Company’s cash reserves.

(i) Bonus issues
If the Company makes a bonus issue of Shares or other Securities to Shareholders (except an issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment) and a Share has not been issued in respect of the Placement Option before the record date for determining entitlements to the issue, then the number of underlying Shares over which the Placement Option is exercisable will be increased by the number of Shares which the Option Holder would have received if the Option Holder had exercised the Placement Option before the record date for determining entitlements to the issue.
