(AxD)-E
Where:
-
A is the number of shares on issued 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
Plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;
-
Plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;
-
Plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the entity’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval;
-
Less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.
-
D is 10%.
-
E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1.A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

Effect of Listing Rule 7.1 with 7.1A
The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity’s 15% issue capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
At the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue 357,322,090 shares and therefore will have a capacity to issue:
-
(i) 53,598,313 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
(ii) Subject to shareholder approval being sought under this Item 35,732,209 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.
The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1. A.2.
If shareholders approve the Resolution at Item 8, the Company will have capacity to issue, in addition to the above, a further:
If Item 11 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 7.1A 10% Capacity, the existing Shareholders’ voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the table below. There is a risk that:
-
(i) The market price for the Company’s Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Annual General Meeting; and
-
(ii) The Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities on the issue date or the Equity Securities are issued as part of consideration for the acquisition of a new asset, which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.
The following table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and assuming that shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution at Item 8 for variable ‘A’ calculated in accordance
| Variable ‘A’ in Listing Rule 7.1A2 | Issue Price Assumptions | Issue Price Assumptions | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Less: 50% | Base | Plus: 100% | ||
| $0.005 | $0.010 | $0.020 | ||
| Current + 75,000,000 from Item 8 | 10% issue | 43,232,209 | 43,232,209 | 43,232,209 |
| 432,322,090 | Funds raised | $216,161 | $432,322 | $864,644 |
| Plus 50% | 10% issue | 64,848,313 | 64,848,313 | 64,848,313 |
| 648,483,135 | Funds raised | $324,242 | $648,483 | $1,296,966 |
| Plus 100% | 10% issue | 86,464,418 | 86,464,418 | 86,464,418 |
| 864,644,179 | Funds raised | $432,322 | $864,644 | $1,729,288 |
-
(i) 11,250,000 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
(ii) Subject to shareholder approval being sought under this Item 7,500,000 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.
Minimum Issue Price
The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 trading days immediately before:
-
The date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
If the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 trading days of the date referred to above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
Approval Validity Period
Shareholder approval of the 7.1A 10% Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the Annual General Meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:
-
The date that is 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting at which the approved is obtained; or
-
The date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
-
b) Specific Information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
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.
with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at the date of this Notice.
Variable ‘A’ is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue plus an additional 75,000,000 shares that may be issued with shareholder approval under Item 8. The number of ordinary securities on issue may further increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting.
The table shows three examples where variable ‘A’ has:
-
increased by 50%; and
-
increased by 100%.
The table also shows two examples where the issue price of ordinary securities has:
-
decreased by 50%; and
-
increased by 100%;
against the current market price.
The table has been prepared on the following assumptions
-
The Company issues all of the shares that may be approved by shareholders at Item 8 before issuing any shares under the 7.1A 10% capacity.
-
The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 7.1A 10% Capacity.
-
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 7.1A 10% Capacity, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.
-
The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A and not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7..1.
-
The issue price is $0.010 being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 10 October 2017.

Notice of Annual General Meeting
==> picture [60 x 34] intentionally omitted <==
28 November 2017
The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during 12 months following the approval of Item 11. The approval under Item 11 for the issue of the Equity Securities 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 activities or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:
Non-cash consideration
-
For all or part of the cost of acquisition of new resources assets and investments (including expenses associated with such acquisition); and/or
-
Exploration and feasibility study expenditure on any of the Company’s resource assets; and/or
-
For the payment of any creditors of any kind who may agree with the Company to accept Equity Securities in lieu of cash.
In all of the foregoing circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3;
Cash consideration
-
For all or part of the cost of acquisition of new resources assets and investments (including expenses associated with such acquisition); and/or
-
Exploration and feasibility study expenditure on any of the Company’s resource assets; and/or
-
General working capital.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A (4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.
The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 7.1A 10% Capacity. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a caseby-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:
-
The methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing securities 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; and
-
Advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
The allottees under the 7.1A 10% Capacity have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial shareholders and/or new shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company. Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new resources assets or investments, it is likely that the allottees under the 7.1A 10% Capacity will be the vendors of the new resources assets or investments.
The following table shows details of all issues of Equity Securities in the 12 months preceding this Annual General Meeting and other information required under Listing Rule 7.3A. On 28 November 2016, the Company had on issue 285,857,734 ordinary shares and 450,000 options making a total of 286,307,734 Equity Securities. During the 12 months prior to this Annual General Meeting the Company issued 71,464,356 ordinary shares and no options making a total of 71,464,356 Equity Securities or 25% of the total on issue at 28 November 2016. The Company previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A on 17 November 2016.
A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice of Meeting. At the date of this Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holders to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. No existing Shareholder’s votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.

-
(g) If any takeover bid (including by way of scheme of arrangement or otherwise) is publicly announced in respect of the Company, then the following provisions apply in relation to the takeover bid:

-
(iii) If, during the Takeover Exercise Period, the person making the takeover bid ("bidder") offers to grant options in the capital of the bidder ("Replacement Options") to the option holder (and, for the avoidance of doubt, this does not obligate the Company in any way to procure such an offer from the bidder) in consideration for the cancellation or acquisition of the Options, the option holder may, in their discretion, accept such Replacement Options instead of exercising their Options.
