Notice of Annual General Meeting 15 November 2018

==> picture [60 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

Explanatory Memorandum

These Explanatory Notes set out information in connection with the business to be considered at the 2018 Annual General Meeting.

ORDINARY BUSINESS

Item 1 – Financial Statements and Reports

The Corporations Act requires that the reports of the Directors, Auditor and the financial statements of the Company (collectively the “Annual Report”) be laid before shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. The Corporations Act does not require a vote of shareholders on these reports or statements.

The 2018 Annual Report was released to the ASX on 25 September 2018. As a result of the legislative changes, the 2018 Annual Report has not been automatically mailed to all Shareholders. The 2018 Annual Report can be accessed on the Company’s website at www.easterniron.com.au. Alternatively, printed copies can be supplied to shareholders on request.

Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity at the Annual General Meeting to ask questions of the Board in relation to the Annual Report and the management of the Company. Shareholders will also be given reasonable opportunity to ask the Auditor questions relevant to the conduct of the audit, the preparation and content of the Independent Auditor’s Report, the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of its financial statements and the independence of the Auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.

Item 2 – Adoption of the Remuneration Report

The Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2018 is set out in the Directors’ Report on pages 13 to 16 of the Annual Report. The Remuneration Report:

  • Explains the Board’s policies relating to remuneration of directors, secretaries and executives of the Company;

  • Discusses the relationship between such policies and the Company’s performance;

  • Provides details of any performance conditions attached to such remuneration; and

  • Sets out remuneration details for each director and certain named executives.

The Chair of the meeting will allow a reasonable opportunity for shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the Remuneration Report at the meeting.

In addition, shareholders will be asked to vote on the Remuneration Report. The vote on this Item is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. However, if at least 25% of the votes cast are against the adoption of the Remuneration Report, the Company's next Remuneration Report must explain the Board’s proposed action in response or explain why no action has been taken.

In the following year, if at least 25% of the votes cast on the resolution that the Remuneration Report be adopted are against adoption, shareholders will then vote to determine whether the Directors, excluding any Managing Director, will need to stand for re-election. If more than 50% of the votes cast on the resolution are in favour, a separate re-election meeting must be held within 90 days.

A vote on this resolution must not be cast (in any capacity) by or on behalf of either of the following classes of persons:

  • A member of the Key Management Personnel details of whose remuneration are included in the Remuneration Report; or

 A closely related party of such a member. However, such a person may cast a vote on the resolution if:

  • The person does so as a proxy appointed by writing that specifies how the proxy is to vote on the proposed resolution; and

  • The vote is not cast on behalf of such a person.

Votes will not be disregarded if they are cast by the person chairing the meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with express authorisation in the proxy form to exercise the proxy even though the resolution is connected with the remuneration of the Key Management Person.

The Chair will vote undirected proxies in favour of Item 2.

Item 3 – Election of Mr Myles Fang as a

Director

On 12 March 2018, the Board announced to the ASX that Mr Myles Fang had been appointed as a Director of the Company.

Under article 9.1 of the Company’s Constitution, Directors can appoint a qualified person to be a Director provided that the total number of directors in office does not exceed 9. Under article 9.2 of the Company’s Constitution and ASX Listing Rule 14.4, any Director appointed to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the Board, holds office only until the end of the next Annual General Meeting, but is eligible for election at that meeting. Mr Fang was appointed in accordance with article 9.1 and being eligible, now offers himself for election.

Mr Fang is an engineer with more than 20 years’ experience in business development, corporate & project management, project finance, and M&A, including 15 years’ experience in mining industry, both in Australia and overseas.

He has been a senior executive of WPG Resources Ltd, and Aard Metals Ltd and is currently the Company’s acting CEO.

During the past three years Mr Fang has not served as a director of any other listed companies.

Notice of Annual General Meeting 15 November 2018

Item 5 – Ratification of a Previous Issue of Shares

Item 5 seeks that for the purposes of ASX Listing Rules 7.1, 7.1A and 7.4 and for all other purposes, ratification be given to the Company for the issue on 11 September 2018 of 1,887,812 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company (“Shares”) to Tunas ICT Pty Ltd (“Tunas”) at an issue price of $0.008 per share.

Tunas is a corporate advisory firm engaged by the Company on 26 June 2018 on a non-exclusive basis and for a period of 180 days to identify potential mining projects of interest to the Company.

As a consequence of this engagement, Tunas introduced the Mt Corridor Cobalt project. As announced to the ASX on 28 August 2018, the Company has entered into a Call Option agreement with Heavy Metal Exploration Pty Ltd to acquire an interest in this copper cobalt sulphide project located in north west Queensland.

The fee for this service was $15,000 which Tunas agreed could be paid by the issue of fully paid ordinary shares in Eastern Iron Limited at an issue price equal to a 20-day VWAP calculated up to 28 August 2018.

The Shares were issued without prior Shareholder approval out of the Company’s 15% Listing Rule 7.1 annual placement capacity.

By ratifying this issue, the Company will refresh its ability to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

Item 6 – Issue of Shares

Item 6 seeks shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the company to complete a share placement by issuing up to 50,000,000 shares at an issue price of not less than 80% of the 5-day Volume weighted average price of shares traded on the ASX. The equity security issue capacity provided to the Company if the resolution at Item 6 is passed will be in addition to the equity security issue capacity the Company will have under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A (if the resolution at Item 7 is passed).

The Company is seeking this placement capacity in order to be able to quickly fund an additional resource asset should an appropriate opportunity arise. The Company will use the issue, whether issued for cash consideration or 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 general working capital.

No specific opportunity has been identified at this point and it may be the case that a lesser number of shares or no shares at all are issued under this approval. In any case the maximum number of shares that may be issued under this approval is 50,000,000.

Any shares issued pursuant to this resolution will be made at a time within 3 months of the date of this resolution being passed. Any shares issued will be on the same terms as the Company’s existing fully paid ordinary shares.

The shares (if any) will be issued to professional and sophisticate investors. The Company has not yet determined who these investors will be they but may include existing substantial shareholders and/or new shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.

If Company is successful in acquiring new resources assets it is possible that the shares may be issued to the vendors of the new resources assets.

SPECIAL BUSINESS

Item 7 - Issue of Shares up to 10% of the

Company’s Issued Capital

Listing Rule 7.1A enables an eligible entity to seek shareholder approval to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital over a 12-month period commencing from the Annual General Meeting where shareholder approval is received. The 10% issue capacity allowed under Listing Rule 7.1A (“7.1A 10% Capacity”) is in addition to the Company’s 15% annual placement 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 is an eligible entity. The Company is now seeking shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 7.1A 10% Capacity. The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 7.1A 10% Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2.

The Company may use the 7.1A 10% Capacity to acquire new resource assets or investments, to carry out further exploration on the Company’s tenements, as part of the consideration for the acquisition of further tenements and/or for the working capital needs of the Company.

Item 7 is a special resolution and therefore 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).

a) Listing Rule 7.1A

Shareholder approval required

The ability to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is subject to shareholder approval by way of special resolution at an Annual General Meeting.

Class of equity securities issued

Any Equity Securities issued under the 7.1A 10% Capacity must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company has only one class of quoted Equity Securities – fully paid ordinary shares.

Calculating 7.1A 10% Capacity

Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an Annual General Meeting may issue or agree to issue during the period of the approval a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(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.

5

Notice of Annual General Meeting 15 November 2018

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 411,900,378 shares and therefore will have a capacity to issue:

  • (i) 61,785,057 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • (ii) Subject to shareholder approval being sought under this Item 41,190,038 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.

==> picture [60 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

If Item 7 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.

923,800,755 Funds raised $323,330 $646,661 $1,293,321

If shareholders approve the resolution at Item 6, the Company will have capacity to issue, in addition to the above, a further:

  • (i) 7,500,000 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • (ii) Subject to shareholder approval being sought under this Item 5,000,000 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.

The table above 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 6 for variable ‘A’ calculated in accordance 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 50,000,000 shares that may be issued with shareholder approval under Item 6. 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 6 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.

Notice of Annual General Meeting

==> picture [60 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

15 November 2018

  •  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 $0.007 being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 2 October 2018.

The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during 12 months following the approval of Item 7. The approval under Item 7 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 case-by-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 15 November 2017, the Company had on issue 357,322,090 ordinary shares and 56,182,178 options making a total of 413,504,268 Equity Securities. During the 12 months prior to this Annual General Meeting the Company issued 54,578,288 ordinary shares and no options making a total of 54,578,288 Equity Securities or 13% of the total on issue at 15 November 2017. The Company previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A on 28 November 2017.

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.

YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT

For your vote to be effective it must be recorded before 2:00pm (Sydney time) on Wednesday 14 November 2018.

TO VOTE BY COMPLETING THE PROXY FORM

STEP 1 APPOINTMENT OF PROXY

Indicate who you want to appoint as your Proxy.

If you wish to appoint the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy, mark the box. If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy please write the full name of that individual or body corporate. If you leave this section blank, or your named proxy does not attend the meeting, the Chair of the Meeting will be your proxy. A proxy need not be a securityholder of the company. Do not write the name of the issuer company or the registered securityholder in the space.

Appointment of a Second Proxy

You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by contacting the company’s securities registry or you may copy this form.

To appoint a second proxy you must:

(a) complete two Proxy Forms. On each Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or the number of securities applicable to that form. If the appointments do not specify the percentage or number of votes that each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half your votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded. (b) return both forms together in the same envelope.

STEP 3 SIGN THE FORM

The form must be signed as follows:

Individual: This form is to be signed by the securityholder.

Joint Holding : where the holding is in more than one name, all the securityholders should sign.

Power of Attorney: to sign under a Power of Attorney, you must have already lodged it with the registry. Alternatively, attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.

Companies: this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Where the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this form should be signed by that person. Please indicate the office held by signing in the appropriate place.

STEP 4 LODGEMENT

Proxy forms (and any Power of Attorney under which it is signed) must be received no later than 24 hours before the commencement of the meeting, therefore by 2:00pm (Sydney time) on Wednesday 14 November 2018. Any Proxy Form received after that time will not be valid for the scheduled meeting.

Proxy forms may be lodged using the enclosed Reply Paid Envelope or:

STEP 2 VOTING DIRECTIONS TO YOUR PROXY

To direct your proxy how to vote, mark one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your securities will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of securities are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number that you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given item, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item for all your securities your vote on that item will be invalid.

Proxy which is a Body Corporate

Where a body corporate is appointed as your proxy, the representative of that body corporate attending the meeting must have provided an “Appointment of Corporate Representative” prior to admission. An Appointment of Corporate Representative form can be obtained from the company’s securities registry.
