The representative should bring to the meeting evidence of his or her appointment, including any authority under which the appointment is signed. The appropriate “Appointment of Corporate Representative” form should be completed and produced prior to admission to the meeting. This form may be obtained from the Company’s share registry.

Impact of your proxy appointment on your voting instructions

If you appoint the Chairman as your proxy and have not directed him how to vote, you are authorising the Chairman to cast your undirected vote on all proposed resolutions in accordance with his intentions set out below.

If you appoint a Restricted Voter (being a member of Key management Personnel or their Closely Related Party), they will not be able to vote your proxy on the Remuneration report unless you have directed them how to vote.

If you intend to appoint a KMP (other than the Chairman) as your proxy, you are encouraged to direct them how to vote by marking “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” for each of those items of business.

The Chairman’s voting intentions

The Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies on, and in favour of, all the proposed resolutions. If there is a change to how the Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies, Eclipse will make an announcement to the market.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM TO ACCOMPANY 2020 NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

In accordance with sections 250S and 250T of the Corporations Act Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity at the AGM to ask questions and/or make comments on the Reports and on the management of the Company.

In accordance with section 250T of the Corporations Act, Shareholders will have a reasonable opportunity at the Meeting to ask the Auditor or the Auditor’s representative questions relevant to:

  • (a) the conduct of the audit;

  • (b) the preparation and content of the independent audit report;

  • (c) the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the financial statements; and

  • (d) the independence of the Auditor by the Company in relation to the conduct of the audit.

Shareholders who are unable to attend the Annual General Meeting can submit written questions to the Company and/or the Auditor provided they are submitted to the Company by no later than Monday, 23 November 2020.

Annual Report Online

Shareholders who have not elected to receive a hard copy of the Annual Report can access the report on the Company’s website at http://www.eclipseuranium.com.au

Annual Report Mailed

A printed copy of the 2020 Audited Annual Report will only be mailed to those Shareholders who have opted to receive a printed copy.

Resolution 1 Adoption of 2020 Remuneration Report

The 2020 Annual Report contains the Remuneration Report, which, in accordance with Section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001, sets out the Company’s remuneration policy, reports on the remuneration arrangements in place for Non-Executive Directors and explains the Board’s policies in relation to the objectives and structure of remuneration paid to Directors during the financial year ended 30 June 2020.

The Remuneration Report is set out on pages 17 to 20 inclusive of the 2020 Annual Report, which is incorporated into the Directors’ Report.

Consistent with Section 250R (2) of the Corporations Act 2001, the Company presents the Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2020 to Shareholders for consideration and adoption, by way of an ordinary resolution.

The Directors believe that the Company’s remuneration policies and structures as outlined in the Remuneration Report are appropriate for the size of the Company, its business, and objectives. The Board continues to focus on refining and improving the Company’s remuneration framework in support of the strategic direction and to determine the best way forward with remuneration policies that supports the current and future needs of the Company.

In accordance with Section 250SA of the Corporations Act, Shareholders present at the Annual General Meeting will be given an opportunity by the Chair of the Meeting to discuss the 2020 Remuneration Report.

8

Resolution 1 will be decided as an ordinary (majority) resolution but in accordance with section 250R (3) of the Corporations Act the outcome does not bind the Directors of the Company.

A failure of Shareholders to pass Resolution 1 will not require the Directors to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report. However, the Board will consider the outcomes of the votes when considering the future remuneration arrangements of the Company.

No Spill Resolution

The Director and Executive Remuneration Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011 provides Shareholders with the opportunity to remove the whole Board (except the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer) under the “two strike rules”.

If at least 25% of the votes cast are against adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put a resolution to the second Annual General Meeting ( Spill Resolution ), to approve calling a general meeting ( Spill Meeting ). If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must then convene a Spill Meeting within 90 days of the second Annual General Meeting. All the Directors who were in office when the applicable Directors’ Report was approved, other than the Managing Director, will need to stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting if they wish to continue as Directors.

The remuneration report for the financial year ended 30 June 2019 did not receive a vote of more than 25% against its adoption at the Company’s last general meeting held on 12 November 2019. Accordingly, if at least 25% of the votes cast on this Resolution are against adoption of the Remuneration Report it will not result in the Company putting a Spill Resolution to Shareholders.

Proxy Voting Restrictions

A voting exclusion applies to this Resolution in the terms set out in the Notice.

Shareholders should carefully read the Proxy Form and provide a direction to the proxy on how to vote on Resolution 1.

Recommendation of Board

The Board abstains, in the interests of good governance, from making a recommendation in relation to Resolution 1.

The Chairman intends to vote all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1 in accordance with the express authorisation on the Proxy Form.

Resolution 2 Election of Mr Kastellorizos as a Director

In accordance with Clause 7.2(b) of the Constitution, the current directors may at any time appoint a person to be a director, as an addition to the existing directors. Any director so appointed holds office only until the next following general meeting and is then eligible for election in accordance with clause 7.3(b) of the Constitution.

Mr Pedro Kastellorizos was appointed to the Board by the directors on 1 July 2020 as an addition to the existing directors. In accordance with clause 7.3(b) of the Constitution, Mr Kastellorizos, being eligible, offers himself for re-election as a director of the Company.

Mr Kastellorizos has a Bachelor of Science degree with over 22 years of experience as a geologist working with multi-commodity exploration, underground mining, geological interpretation, corporate management, and tenement trading. He has worked for many listed companies in Australia and internationally.

Mr Kastellorizos is an experienced non-executive director having served on the Boards of numerous ASX and UK Listed entities including Genesis Resources Ltd, Batavia Mining Limited and Regency Mines PLC. I

He was senior exploration geologist and underground geologist with Burnside Operations Pty Ltd as well as Northern Gold NL and Afmeco Mining & Exploration Pty Ltd (uranium exploration in Arnhem Land). He has also worked with the NT Geological Survey with an emphasis on the Arnhem Land region.

9

His knowledge of uranium unconformity style deposits is of great value to Eclipse, as the main mineralisation style targeted in West Arnhem Land within highly prospective exploration licences held and applied for by the Company.

His local network contacts will be advantageous in developing the Devil’s Elbow project which will be his primary focus.

If elected, Mr Kastellorizos will be an independent Non-Executive Director.

Mr Kastellorizos holds no other directorships.

If Mr Kastellorizos is not elected, he will retire from the Company as a Director and the Board may consider the appointment of an alternative director to the Board, with ratification at the Company’s next AGM.

Recommendation of Board

The Board (excluding Mr Kastellorizos) supports the election of Mr Kastellorizos as a Non-Executive Director of the Company as his experience, knowledge and wide range of contacts will strengthen the Board. Accordingly, the Board recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

The Chairman intends to vote all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 2.

Resolution 3

Re-Election of Director Retiring by Rotation – Ibrar Idrees

Resolution 3 seeks approval for the re-election of Mr Ibrar Idrees as a Director with effect after the AGM.

ASX Listing Rule 14.4 and rule 7.3(a) of the Company’s Constitution, provides that Directors must retire by rotation after the third Annual General Meeting since they were last elected. The Directors to retire at an Annual General Meeting are those that have been longest in office since their last election.

Mr Idrees is the Director due to retire by rotation pursuant to the Company’s Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules and being eligible is seeking re-election as a Director of the Company

Eclipse currently has two (2) Directors, other than the Executive Director and therefore one (1) must retire by rotation.

Mr Idrees has served as a director since 29 May 2018 and has been in office for 2 years since his last reappointment on 23 November 2018 and accordingly retires by rotation and seeks re-election.

10

Recommendation of the Board

The Board (other than Mr Idrees who has an interest in Resolution 3) supports the re-election of Mr Idrees, which is in the best interests of the Company and recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

The Chairman intends to vote all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 3.

Background to Resolutions 4 to 6

Eclipse has issued a total of 179,516,107 Equity Securities, the subject of Resolutions 4 to 6 without Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

1.1 ASX Listing Rule 7.1

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that Eclipse 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 12 month period.

The issues the subject of Resolutions 4 to 6 do not fall within any exceptions provided for under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and the issues have not been approved by Shareholders, therefore they have used up part of the Company’s 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date the Company issued the Securities.

1.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.4

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 enables the Company to ratify an issue of securities made without prior Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 if:

  • (a) the issue of Shares did not breach Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • (b) Shareholders subsequently approve the issue of those securities by the Company.

Eclipse confirms the issue of the 179,516,107 Equity Securities did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and if Shareholders approve Resolutions 4 to 6, the issues can be taken to have been approved and will not reduce the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Eclipse wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities in the future without having to always obtain Shareholder approval first under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and therefore seeks approval to ratify the issues, the subject of Resolutions 4 to 6 for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4.

Resolution 4 Ratification of Prior Issue of 75,666,667 April 2020 Placement Shares

The nature and current stage of Eclipse’s operation requires the Company to raise cash in an efficient and effective way. Given the circumstances in Australia since March 2020, it became clear the difficulty it would be to raise funds from the wider financial markets during a global pandemic and if the Board did not act when placement funds were available, Eclipse would be left vulnerable.

On the 2 April 2020, Eclipse confirmed a small Placement to access funds for working capital purposes, placing 75,666,667 Shares to professional and sophisticated investor clients, comprising existing Shareholders at $0.003 per Share to raise $227,000 (before costs) ( April 2020 Placement ).

Eclipse did not seek Shareholder approval before issuing the 75,666,667 Shares as reliance was placed upon the provisions of ASX Listing Rule 7.1. A summary of ASX Listing Rule is set out in Section 1.1. Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Shares in the April 2020 Placement. A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.4 is set out in Section 1.2.

Resolution 7 Proposed Issue of Shares

Eclipse is proposing to issue up to 215,000,000 Shares ( Future Shares ) for the development of current and potential projects and as consideration to third party vendors or for services provided by third parties in relation to potential acquisitions of new projects which are in line with the Company’s growth strategy ( Future Activities ).

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions (none of which are relevant to Resolution 7), ASX Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that Eclipse 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

17

of that 12 month period. The proposed issue of the Future Shares does not fall within any exceptions provided for under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

The proposed issue of the Future Shares will not exceed the 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and can therefore be made without breaching that rule, Eclipse wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

To do this, Eclipse is asking Shareholders to approve the proposed issue of Future Shares under Listing Rule 7.1 so that it does not use up any of the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval as set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval to the proposed issue of the Future Shares under and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 7 is passed:

  • the issue of Future Shares can proceed without using up any of the Company’s 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1;

  • Eclipse will issue up to 215,000,000 Shares to unrelated parties of the Company; and

  • the total number of Shares on issue will increase from 1,414,623,531 to 1,629,623,531, the existing Shareholders holdings will be diluted by 15% on a fully diluted basis.[1]

If Resolution 7 is not passed, the proposed issue of Future Shares pursuant to Future Acquisitions can still proceed but it will reduce, to that extent, Eclipse’s capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for 12 months following the issue.

ASX Listing Rule 7.3

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 7:

  • (a) the Future Shares will be issued to professional and sophisticated investors who are clients of a lead manager, if a lead manager is appointed by Eclipse. The recipients will likely be identified through a bookbuild process, which will involve the lead manager seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from non-related parties of Eclipse. If a lead manager is not appointed, the Shares will be issued to professional and sophisticated investors identified by the Directors, who will seek expressions of interest to participate in the Future Placement from unrelated parties of Eclipse As at the date of this Notice, the identity of the persons who will participate have not yet been determined;

  • (b) up to 215,000,000 Future Shares will be issued;

  • (c) the Future Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of Eclipse and rank equally in all respects with the existing fully paid ordinary shares on issue;

  • (d) the Future Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting;

  • (f) Eclipse intends to use the funds raised by the Future Placement towards:

    • further drilling programs to confirm the mineralisation style and extent of the Mary Valley Manganese Project;

    • further investigation of the Devil’s Elbow Project in the Northern Territory, with a focus of ascertaining the footprint of the mineralisation system; and

    • as consideration to third party vendors for potential acquisitions of new projects.

  • 1 Assuming no other Equity Securities are issued by the Company.

18

  • (g) the Future Shares will be issued progressively as the placement funds are received; and

  • (h) a voting exclusion applies in respect of this Resolution as set out in the Notice of Meeting.

Recommendation of the Board

The Eclipse Directors do not have a material personal interest in the subject matter of Resolution 7 and therefore, recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7 as it provides the Company with the flexibility to issue, subject to the limits under the ASX Listing Rules, further Equity Securities during the next 12 months without Shareholder approval and will enable the Company to fund its ongoing commitments.

The Chairman intends to vote all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 7.

Resolution 8 Approval of Additional 10% Placement Capacity

ASX Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 8 is approved by Shareholders, Eclipse will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limited in ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.

Period for which the ASX Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate is valid

If Resolution 8 is passed, the ASX Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate will be valid during the period from the date of the 2020 AGM and will expire on the earlier of:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the 2020 AGM; or

Use of Funds under the ASX Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate

The funds raised from issues of Equity Securities under the ASX Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate will be directed towards exploration opportunities as well as new mineral projects acquired by Eclipse during the period ahead, drilling programs and working capital.

Risk of Economic and Voting Dilution

An issue of Equity Securities under the ASX Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.

If Resolution 8 is approved by Shareholders and Eclipse issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the ASX Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be shown in the table below.

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 on the basis of the closing market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issue as at 15 October 2020.

  1. There are currently 1,414,623,531 Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meeting;

  2. The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares;

  3. The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity;

  4. No Options are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities;

  5. The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. Therefore, the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%;

  6. The table does not show the dilution affect that may be caused to a Shareholder;

  7. The table only shows the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A not under the 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  8. The issue price of $0.008 is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX as at 15 October 2020

There is a risk the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date the AGM and the Company’s Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price on the date of issue, which may influence the amount of funds raised by the issue of Equity Securities under the ASX Listing Rule Mandate 7.1A.

Allocation Policy under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate

The potential investors to whom Equity Securities will be issued to under the ASX Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate will be determined on a case - by - case basis having regard to several factors including but not limited to the following:

  • (1) the purpose of the issue;

  • (2) alternative methods for raising funds available to Eclipse at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue, chare purchase plan, placement of other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;

  • (3) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of Eclipse;

  • (4) the financial position and solvency of Eclipse;

  • (5) prevailing market conditions; and

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

The potential investors have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing Shareholders and/or new Shareholders, who are not related parties or associates of a related party of Eclipse.

Furthermore, if Eclipse is successful in acquiring new assets or investments for which Equity Securities are issued as consideration, it is likely the potential investors of some of the Equity Securities will be the vendors of the new assets or investments.

Calculation of Equity Securities

The calculation of the number of Equity Securities permitted to be issued in accordance with the ASX Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate is a moving calculation and will be based on the formula set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2. The formula is:

(A x D) – E

A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement being the relevant period:

  • plus, the number of fully paid shares issued in the relevant period under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 other than exceptions 9,16 or 17;

  • plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the relevant period on conversion of convertible securities within Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 9 where

  • (1) the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or

  • (2) the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities approved, or taken to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;

  • plus, the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 16 where

  • (1) the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or

  • (2) the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4;

  • plus, the number of fully paid shares issued in the relevant period with approval of holders of Shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4 (which does not include the 10% Placement Capacity);

  • plus the number of partly paid Shares that become fully paid in the relevant period;

  • less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the relevant period.

Note that A has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15% Placement Capacity.

D is 10%;

21

  • E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the relevant period where the issue or agreement to has not been subsequently approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.4.

Previous approval under Listing Rule 7.1A

Eclipse has not previously issued Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A2 in the 12 months preceding the date of the 2020 AGM.

Recommendation of the Board

The Board unanimously recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 8, as it allows the Company flexibility to issue Shares at a discount to the then market price in circumstances where it might otherwise be subjected to the cost, delay and uncertainty of having to go back to Shareholders for approval.

The additional flexibility and speed to conduct capital raising will better position the Company to pursue its interests in the prevailing difficult market conditions.

The Chairman intends to vote all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 8.
