In conjunction with the Placement, the Company announced the SPP to raise $300,000, which subsequently closed on the 9[th] of September oversubscribed with the Company accepting applications totalling $745,500, at the Placement issue price (together, the SPP and the Placement referred to herein as the Capital Raising ). Participants in the SPP will also receive the opportunity to subscribe for SPP Options on the same terms as those offered under the Placement.
The funds raised from the Capital Raising will be applied to the following activities:
-
(a) Resource Conversion : Drilling will target conversion of near surface Inferred Resources to Indicated Resources. This will aim to improve the waste-to-ore stripping ratio by incorporating additional mineral resources into an updated mineral resource.
-
(b) Fault Controlled Mineralisation : Drilling will aim to confirm interpreted near-surface fault controlled mineralisation that has been identified from historical exploration data. This has the potential to significantly expand the resource, especially at shallow levels.
-
(c) Wider Tenement Potential : Drilling will target the geophysical and geochemical anomalies that have been identified lying both north and south of the Oropesa orebody. Drilling will aim to identify the presence of tin in these structures, with the potential to significantly expand the resource.
-
(d) Incorporating a tin halo : Drilling will target tin mineralisation that sits within a low-grade tin halo that is currently excluded from the JORC geological resource that was issued in the Oropesa Economic Study released by the Company to the ASX on 7 May 2020. The outcome of this drilling may be an increase in tin production at no additional mining cost.
-
(e) Advancing the resubmission of the project’s environmental application. This involves the final completion of a number of studies, resubmission to the relevant governmental authority, and associated statutory obligations.
-
(f) Progressing with engineering of the plant and infrastructure, including tailings dam design, water management design and infrastructure design.
-
(g) Geological reinterpretation of the Oropesa orebody following drilling.

The table below illustrates the effect of the Capital Raising on the Company’s share capital, assuming that Resolutions 3, 5 and 6 are passed:
| Securities currently on issue |
Securities issued under Unconditional Placement |
Securities proposed to be issued under Conditional Placement |
Securities issued under SPP |
|
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shares | 2,548,330,961 | 422,727,288 | 41,272,729 | 135,545,486 |
| Options (Unlisted) |
-Nil | 140,909,121 | 13,757,875 | 45,181,875 |
The total dilutionary effect of the Unconditional Placement was 16.6%, the total dilutionary effect of the Conditional Placement will, if Resolutions 3, 5 and 6 are passed, will be 1.8%, and the dilutionary effect of the SPP will be 5.3%.
Resolution 2 – Ratification of 422,727,288 Unconditional Shares and 140,909,121 Unconditional Options
As noted in the background section of this Explanatory Memorandum, on 6 August 2020 the Company announced the Capital Raising, which included 422,727,288 Unconditional Shares and 140,909,121 Unconditional Options to sophisticated and professional investors. The Unconditional Placement was undertaken under the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A limit the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% and 10% respectively of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
The Unconditional Shares and Unconditional Options issued to participants in the Unconditional Placement did not fall within an exception and were issued without Shareholder approval under the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and the Company’s 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to subsequently ratify the previous issues of securities made without prior shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A, provided the issue did not breach the maximum thresholds set by Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A and so does not reduce the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under those rules.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A and thus the Company is seeking ratification of the Unconditional Shares and Unconditional Options issued pursuant to the Unconditional Placement by Resolution 2. The Company confirms that the issue and allotment of the Unconditional Shares and Unconditional Options did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A at the date of issue.
13
If Resolution 2 is passed, the Unconditional Shares and Unconditional Options issued pursuant to the Unconditional Placement will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% Threshold in Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% Additional Placement Capacity limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue.
If Resolution 2 is not passed, the relevant issues will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% Threshold in Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% Additional Placement Capacity limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue.
For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in respect of Resolution 2:

Exception 17 of Listing Rule 7.1 provides that an agreement to issue equity securities that is conditional on the holders of the listed company’s ordinary securities approving the issue before the issue is made shall be an exception to this prohibition, provided that if an entity relies on this exception the listed company must not issue the equity securities without such approval.
Under, and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1, Resolution 3 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Conditional Shares and Conditional Options to various sophisticated and professional investors who participated in the Conditional Placement.
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Conditional Shares and Conditional Options under the Conditional Placement to these participants. In addition, the Conditional Shares and Conditional Options will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Conditional Shares and Conditional Options to participants in the Conditional Placement.
For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in respect of Resolution 3:

Resolution 4 – Ratification of Proposed Issue of SPP Options
As noted in the background section of these Explanatory Memorandum, in addition to the Placement, the Company announced the SPP to existing eligible Shareholders targeting a raise of $300,000, which subsequently closed on the 9[th] of September oversubscribed with the
16
Company accepting applications totalling $745,500, through the issue of a further 135,545,486 SPP Shares and up to 45,181,875 SPP Options (for no additional consideration).
As described above under Resolution 2, subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A limit the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue or agree to issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% and 10%, respectively, of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
The proposed issue of SPP Options pursuant to the SPP does not fall within an exception to Listing Rule 7.1 and was undertaken under the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to subsequently ratify the previous issue or agreement to issue equity securities made without prior shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A, provided the issue or agreement to issue did not breach the maximum thresholds set by Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A. If they do, the issue or agreement to issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under those rules.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A and, thus, Resolution 4 is seeking ratification of the SPP Options to be issued pursuant to the SPP.
If Resolution 4 is passed, the SPP Options issued pursuant to the SPP will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% Threshold in Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% Additional Placement Capacity limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue.
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the proposed issue of SPP Options the subject to Resolution 4 will continue to be deducted from the Company’s 15% Threshold in Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% Additional Placement Capacity limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue.
For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in respect of Resolution 4:

Treacy and Mr Corey Nolan
As noted in the explanatory notes for Resolution 4 on page 16, the Capital Raising included an SPP.
Among those persons who subscribed for SPP Shares and SPP Options pursuant to the SPP were Mr Treacy and Mr Nolan, both Directors of the Company ( Participating Directors ).
Listing Rule Requirements
Listing Rule 10.11 requires that the Company obtain Shareholder approval prior to the issue of equity securities to a Related Party of the Company
As the Participating Directors are both Related Parties of the Company (by virtue of their position as Directors), they are each persons falling within category 10.11.1 of Listing Rule 10.11 and, accordingly, Resolutions 5 and 6 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of SPP Shares and SPP Options under the SPP to the Participating Directors in accordance with Listing Rule 10.11.

Corporations Act
Under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, a public company cannot give a financial benefit to a Related Party unless an exception applies or shareholders have in a general meeting approved the giving of that financial benefit to the Related Party. The Participating Directors are Directors and are therefore each a Related Party of the Company.
The Board has formed the view that Shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act is not required for the proposed issue of the SPP Shares and SPP Options pursuant to Resolutions 5 and 6, on the basis that exception in section 210 of the Corporations Act applies as the Participating Directors are proposing to participate in the SPP on the same terms as other applicants.
For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in respect of Resolutions 5 and 6:
| Maximum number of securities proposed to be issued |
The maximum number of securities proposed to be issued to the Participating Directors pursuant to these Resolutions 4 and 5 is: (a) 3,636,364 SPP Shares and 1,212,122 SPP Options to Mr Treacy; and (b) 1,363,637 SPP Shares and 454,546 SPP Options to Mr Nolan. |

(a) be at the same issue price as all other participants in the SPP; and

As described above under Resolution 2, subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A limit the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% and 10% respectively of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
As noted above, the Company does not have sufficient placement capacity remaining under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company needs the approval of Shareholders in order to issue 40,000,000 Broker Options to the Lead Manager in consideration for the Lead Manager acting as lead manager to the Placement.
If Resolution 7 is passed, the Company will be able to issue the Broker Options to the Lead Manager.

Resolution 8 – Approval of Conversion of Debt into Shares and Options Issued to Mr Andy Greig
The Company has drawn down $1,250,000 from a $2,000,000 loan facility provided to it by Mr Andrew Greig, Chairman of the Company. In parallel with the Placement Mr Greig has agreed, subject to Shareholder approval, to convert $500,000 of the outstanding loan amount to equity on the same terms as the Placement.
Listing Rule 10.11 requires that the Company obtain shareholder approval prior to the issue of equity securities to a Related Party of the Company.
As Mr Greig is a Related Party of the Company (by virtue of his position as a Director), and therefore a person falling within category 10.11.1 of Listing Rule 10.11, Resolution 8 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of 90,909,091 Shares and 30,303,030 Options in accordance with Listing Rule 10.11.
If Resolution 8 is passed, Mr Greig will receive Shares and Options and the amount owing from the Company to Mr Greig will be reduced by $500,000.
If Resolution 8 is not passed, no Shares or Options will be issued to Mr Greig and the Company’s debt to Mr Greig will not be reduced.
Shareholders should be aware that, if approval is given to issue Shares and Options to Mr Greig under Listing Rule 10.11, approval will not be required under Listing Rule 7.1 and that the number of Shares and Options issued to Mr Greig will not be deducted from the Company’s placement capacity in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.
Corporations Act
Under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, a public company cannot give a financial benefit to a Related Party unless an exception applies or shareholders have in a general meeting approved the giving of that financial benefit to the Related Party. Mr Greig is a Director and is therefore a Related Party of the Company.
The Board has formed the view that shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act is not required for the proposed issue of the Shares and Options pursuant to Resolution 8, on the basis that exception in section 210 of the Corporations Act applies as Mr Greig will receive Shares and Options on the same terms as applicants under the Placement.
For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in respect of Resolution 8:
| Maximum number of securities proposed to be issued |
The maximum number of securities proposed to be issued to Mr Greig is121,212,121, being the sum of: (a) 90,909,091Shares; and (b) 30,303,030Options. |

| Names of allottees | Subject to passing Resolution 8, Shares and Options will be issued to Mr Andrew Greig. |
| Material terms of agreement |
The issue of the Shares and Options under the Debt for Equity Swap Deed between the Company and Mr Greig dated 6 August 2020 decreases the balance of the amount the Company owes to Mr Greig by $500,000 in consideration for the Company issuing the Shares and Options to Mr Greig (subject to the Company having received Shareholder approval). |
| Use of funds | The Company will not receive any funds from the issue of the Shares and Options under this Resolution 8 |
| Date of issue | The Shares and Options to be issued pursuant to Resolution 8 will be issued as soon as practicable following the Meeting, and in any event, will be issued no later than 1 month after this Meeting. |
Save as set out in this Explanatory Memorandum, the Directors are not aware of any other information that could be reasonably required by Shareholders to make a decision in relation to Resolution 8.
As the proposed issue of Shares and Options to Mr Greig in accordance with Resolution 8 will:
-
(a) be on the same terms as the Capital Raising; and
-
(b) significantly reduce the Company’s outstanding debt, freeing up additional funds to progress its objectives,
the Directors, other than Mr Greig, who has abstained from providing any recommendation, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 8 and advise that they intend to vote any Shares that they own or control in favour of Resolution 8.

Resolution 11 – Approval to issue an additional 10% of the issued capital of the Company over a 12 month period pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A
Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity may seek Shareholder approval to allow it to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued capital over a period up to 12 months after the
24
entity’s annual general meeting ( 10% Additional Placement Capacity ). The 10% Additional Placement Capacity is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
The Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of less than $300,000,000.
Accordingly, Resolution 11 seeks Shareholder approval to have the ability to issue Equity Securities pursuant to the 10% Additional Placement Capacity.
If Resolution 11 is passed, the Directors will be able to issue Equity Securities in the Company for up to 10% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary securities on issue during the period up to 12 months after the Meeting ( Placement Securities ), calculated in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2.
If Resolution 11 is not passed, the Directors will be unable to issue Placement Securities under the Company's 10% Additional Placement Capacity and the Company will be unable to raise funds using the Company's 10% Additional Placement Capacity.
Resolution 11 is a Special Resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 11 for it to be passed. Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A, no Placement Securities will be issued until and unless this Special Resolution is passed at the Meeting.
For the purpose of Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided in respect of Resolution 11:
| Period of approval | The Placement Securities may be issued under the 10% Additional Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the General Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following: (a) the date that is 12 months after the date of the General Meeting; (b) the time and date of the Company's next annual general meeting; and (c) the time and date of the approval by Shareholders of any transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 or 11.2. |
|---|---|
| Minimum price | The minimum price at which the Placement Securities (which must be in an existing quoted class of the Company's Equity Securities and issued for cash consideration) may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in the same class, calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before: (a) the date on which the price at which the relevant Placement Securities are to be issued is agreed by the entity and the recipient of the securities; or (b) if the relevant Placement Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (a) above, the date on which the relevant Placement Securities are issued. |
| Use of funds | The Company may issue Placement Securities under the 10% Additional Placement Capacity for cash consideration, which the Company intends to use for the acquisition of new resources, assets and investments (including expenses associatedwithsuchanacquisition), continued exploration |
25
| expenditure on the Company’s current assets and general working capital (including payment of expenses associated with the issue of Placement Securities). |
|
|---|---|
| Risk of economic and voting dilution |
Any issue of Placement Securities under the 10% Additional Placement Capacity will dilute the economic and voting interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Equity Securities under the issue. If Resolution 11 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Additional Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below. Shareholders should note that there is a risk that: (a) the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the issue date of any Placement Securities than on the date of the General Meeting; and (b) the Placement Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities on the date of issue, which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Placement Securities. The table below displays the potential dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2) on the basis of three (3) different assumed issue prices and values for variable "A" in the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2: Listing Rule 7.1A.2 Dilution $0.003 $0.006 $0.012 50% decrease in Market Price Market Price 100% increase in Market Price Current Issued Capital 10% voting dilution 310,660,374 310,660,374 310,660,374 3,106,603,735 Funds raised $931,981 $1,863,962 $3,727,924 50% increase in current issued capital 10% voting dilution 465,990,560 465,990,560 465,990,560 4,659,905,603 Funds raised $1,397,972 $2,795,943 $5,591,887 100% increase in current issued capital 10% voting dilution 621,320,747 621,320,747 621,320,747 6,213,207,470 Funds raised $1,863,962 $3,727,924 $3,727,924 The table above uses the following assumptions: (a) Resolution 11 is passed. (b) The current Shares on issue are the Shares on issue as at 14 September 2020. (c) The Share price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 11 September 2020 (being the last trading day before the date of this Notice of Meeting). |
26
| (d) The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Additional Placement Capacity. (e) The above table only shows the dilutionary effect based on the 10% Additional Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A and not the 15% issue under Listing Rule 7.1. (f) The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. (g) The issued capital has been calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at 14 September 2020. (h) The issue price of the Placement Securities used in the table is the same as the Share price and does not take into account any discount to the share price (if any). (i) No Options are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A. (j) The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances. (k) Only Shares will be issued under the 10% Additional Placement Capacity. |
|
|---|---|
| Allocation policy | The allottees of the Placement Securities to be issued under the 10% Additional Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the allottees of Placement Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties or Associates of a related party of the Company. Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new assets or investments, it is likely that the allottees under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity will be vendors of the new assets or investments. The Company will determine the allottees at the time of the issue under the 10% Additional Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors: (a) the purpose of the issue; (b) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate; (c) the effect of the issue of the Placement Securities on the control of the Company; (d) the Company’s circumstances, including, but not limited to, its financial position and solvency; (e) prevailing market conditions; and |
27
| (f) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable). |
|
|---|---|
| Total number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued in the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting under Listing Rule 7.1.A.2 |
The number of equity security on issue 12 months before the date of the Meeting was 2,667,330,961 equity securities: - 1,544,330,961 ordinary shares - 1,000,000,000 Convertible Redeemable Preference Shares - 100,000,000 Unlisted Options ($0.007 @ 30-Jun-20) - 23,000,000 Performance Rights (@ 30-Jun-20), In the previous twelve months the total number of equity securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 is 254,833,096 ordinary shares. Accordingly, the total number of equity securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting represents approximately 9.55% of the total Equity Securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period. For the purpose of Listing Rule 7.3A.6(b), the Company provides the following information: (a) the allottees of the Shares were subscribers to the Private Placement who are exempt from the disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act; (b) the issue price of the shares was $0.0055 per share, representing a discount of 8.3% to the_closing market price on the date of issue or_ agreement; (c) The Company recieved total cash consideration received of $1,401,582. No funds have been used to date. However, the money raised will be used for the purposes of: i. Oropesa Drilling Programme and Geological Optimisation ii. Oropesa Environmental Approval Process iii. Oropesa DFS and Project Engineering iv. Corporate costs including cost of the offer and working capital. |
As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, the Company does not have any intention to issue any Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A which has not previously been disclosed.
The Directors unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of this Special Resolution.

Listing Rule Requirements
Listing Rule 10.11 requires that the Company obtain Shareholder approval prior to the issue of equity securities to a Related Party of the Company.
As Mr Smith is a Related Party of the Company (by virtue of his position as a Director) and therefore a person falling within category 10.11.1 of Listing Rule 10.11, Resolution 12 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of Shares and Options in lieu of foregone director fees, in accordance with Listing Rule 10.11.
If Resolution 12 is passed, Mr Smith will receive 2,540,866 Shares and the amount owing from the Company to Mr Brett in respect of his foregone director fees will be reduced by $6,490.
If Resolution 12 is not passed, no Shares will be issued to Mr Smith and the Company will be liable to pay Mr Smith $6,490 as consideration for his services as a Director for the period 24 January 2020 to 31 July 2020.
Shareholders should be aware that, if approval is given to issue the relevant Shares or Options to Mr Smith under Listing Rule 10.11, approval will not be required under Listing Rule 7.1 and that the number of Shares issued to Mr Smith will not be counted towards the Company’s 15% Threshold or 10% Additional Placement Capacity.
