For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.20, the following information is provided in respect of Resolution 3:
| Purpose of Resolution |
The Company currently has on issue 4.63 billion shares on a fully diluted basis and proposes to consolidate on a 1:25 basis to reduce the total to 185 million shares (fully diluted). This large pre-consolidation number of shares imposes a number of disadvantages upon the Company, including: (a) negative perception associated with a low share price; (b) precluding investment from certain investors who may be limited by their charters or mandates from investing in shares with low share prices; (c) administrative cost and inconvenience associated with the volume of shares in the market; and (d) additional share price volatility arising from the fact the minimum share price movement permitted by the ASX (of 0.005 cents) represents a high proportion of the Company’s share price. |
|
|---|---|---|
1 These calculations are based on the current shares on issue as at 5 October 2021and assumes the Company does not issue any further Shares and no Options or Rights are exercised into Shares before the date the Share Consolidation takes effect.

|
| Indicative Timetable |
If approved by Shareholders, the proposed Share Consolidation will take effect in accordance with the following indicative timetable (subject to change) of the key events: Event Date General Meeting 23 November 2021 Notify ASX that Share Consolidation is approved 23 November 2021 Last day of trading in pre- Consolidation securities 24 November 2021 If agreed by ASX, trading in post- Consolidation securities commences on a deferred settlement basis 25 November 2021 Record Date for Share Consolidation 26 November 2021 Company to send holding statements to Shareholders and Optionholders reflecting the change in the number of securities they hold. 29 November 2021 The timetable above (other than the date of the Meeting) is indicative only and may be changed at the discretion of the Directors (subject to the Listing Rules) or as required by the ASX. |
The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3 and the Directors intend to vote all of the Shares that they each hold or control in favour of Resolution 3.
The Chair intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 3.
10
Explanatory Memorandum
Resolution 4 – 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 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 4 seeks Shareholder approval to have the ability to issue Equity Securities pursuant to the 10% Additional Placement Capacity.
If Resolution 4 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 4 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 4 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 4 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 4:
| 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 market 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 |
11
Explanatory Memorandum
| 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 associated with such an acquisition), continued exploration 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 4 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 $0.013 $0.025 $0.05 50% decrease in Market Price Market Price 100% increase in Market Price Current Issued Capital 10% voting dilution 405,267,122 405,267,122 405,267,122 4,052,671,223 Funds raised $5,065,839 $10,131,678 $20,263,356 50% increase in current issued capital 10% voting dilution 607,900,683 607,900,683 607,900,683 6,079,006,835 Funds raised $7,598,759 $15,197,517 $30,395,034 100% increase in current issued capital 10% voting dilution 810,534,245 810,534,245 810,534,245 8,105,342,446 Funds raised $10,131,678 $20,263,356 $40,526,712 The table above uses the following assumptions: (a) Resolution 4 is passed. |
12
Explanatory Memorandum
| (b) The current Shares on issue are the Shares on issue as at 5 October 2021. (c) The Share price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 5 October 2021 (being the last trading day before the date of this Notice of Meeting). (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 5 October 2021 and as provided for by the assumptions. (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 or Rights 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. The table below has been re-stated based on the assumption that Resolution 3 in relation to the Share Consolidation is passed: Listing Rule 7.1A.2 Dilution $0.3125 $0.625 $1.25 50% decrease in Market Price Market Price 100% increase in Market Price Current Issued Capital 10% voting dilution 16,210,685 16,210,685 16,210,685 162,106,849 Funds raised $5,065,839 $10,131,678 $20,263,356 50% increase in current issued capital 10% voting dilution 24,316,027 24,316,027 24,316,027 243,160,274 Funds raised $7,598,759 $15,197,517 $30,395,034 100% increase in current issued capital 10% voting dilution 32,421,370 32,421,370 32,421,370 324,213,698 Funds raised $10,131,678 $20,263,356 $40,526,712 |

Explanatory Memorandum
| 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 (f) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable). |
