Receive and Consider the Financial Statements

The Corporations Act 2001 ( Corporations Act ) requires the Financial Report which includes the Financial Statements, Directors’ Declaration, the Directors’ Report and the Auditor’s Report to be laid before the Annual General Meeting. There is no requirement either in the Corporations Act or in the Constitution of the Company for Shareholders to approve the Financial Report, the Directors’ Report or the Auditor’s Report. Accordingly, the Company’s Financial Report is placed before the Shareholders for discussion and no voting is required for this item of business.

Shareholders will have a reasonable opportunity at the Meeting to ask questions and make comments on these reports and on the business and operations of the Company.

1. RESOLUTION 1: ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

The Remuneration Report of the Company for the period ended 30 June 2016 is set out in the Directors’ Report of the 2016 Annual Report to Shareholders ( Remuneration Report ).

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the meeting. In addition, section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires that Resolution 1 be put to the vote. However, the vote on this resolution is only advisory and does not bind the Company or its Directors.

In the event that you choose to appoint the Chairman as your proxy, the Chairman’s voting intention is to vote in favour of this Resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report.

  • (a) The attached Proxy Form provides that if the Chairman is appointed as proxy, the Chairman is directed to vote in accordance with the voting intention set out above, unless you direct the Chairman to vote in a different manner.

  • (b) The Chairman will only vote in accordance with his stated voting intention if the relevant box is ticked.

  • (c) If the relevant box is un-ticked the Chairman will not be permitted to vote the relevant Shares on the Resolution in relation to the Remuneration Report.

  • (d) For all other Resolutions where the Chairman is appointed as proxy, those proxies can remain undirected and may be voted on by the Chairman on that basis.

If 25% or more of votes that are cast on this non-binding Resolution are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive Annual General Meetings of the Company, Shareholders will be required to vote at the second of these meetings on a resolution (a Spill Resolution ) that another meeting be held within 90 days ( Spill Meeting ), at which:

3. RESOLUTIONS 3 AND 4: ISSUE OF SHARES TO ATTGOLD

3.1 BACKGROUND

Effective from 5 August 2016, the Company entered into an agreement ( Tenement Agreement ) to acquire a 100% interest in the Attgold Tenements from Attgold.

The purchase consideration contemplated by the Tenement Agreement is as follows:

  1. payment of $35,000;

  2. the issue to Attgold of 1,851,852 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company upon execution of the Tenement Agreement (being the shares that are the subject of Resolution 3) (the Contract Shares ); and

  3. the issue to Attgold of Shares, having an aggregate value of $120,000, on the Completion Date (being the shares that are the subject of Resolution 4) (the Completion Shares ).

In each case, the issue price of the Shares is determined using a 5 day VWAP in the 5 trading days on ASX preceding the issue ( Issue Price ). The 1,851,852 Contract Shares were issued to Attgold under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 on 16 September 2016.

Completion of the sale and purchase of the Attgold Tenements will occur on 31 January 2017 unless the parties agree otherwise in writing. At completion, the Company will receive transfer of the Attgold Tenements and will issue the Completion Shares to Attgold.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits the Company (subject to certain exceptions such as pro-rata issues) from issuing or agreeing to issue equity securities (such as Shares and Options) representing more than 15% of the Company’s total issued securities, during a rolling 12 month period, without Shareholder approval ( 15% Threshold ). The Company has not exceeded this 15% limit.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4

Listing Rule 7.4 allows an issue of equity securities, for which Shareholder approval was not first obtained, to not be counted towards the 15% Threshold when Shareholder approval for that issue is subsequently obtained.

That is, Listing Rule 7.4 permits an issue of Shares to be approved retrospectively. It provides that an issue of securities is treated as having been made with shareholder approval is ASX Listing Rule 7.1 was not breached at the time the securities were issued and Shareholder subsequently approve (ratify) the issue. The Company did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time the Contract Shares were issued and now seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Shares.

By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

3.2 Resolution 3 - Resolution 3 - Ratification of Share issue to Attgold

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 3:

  • (a) 1,851,852 Shares were issued;

  • (b) the Shares were issued at a value of $0.027 per Share (having an aggregate value of $50,000);

  • (c) the Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (d) the Shares were issued to Attgold Pty Ltd; and

  • (e) no funds were raised from the issue of these Shares. The Shares were issued as initial consideration for the acquisition of the Attgold Tenements.

7

3.3 Resolution 4: Approval to issue shares to Attgold

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 4:

  • a) The maximum number of Shares to be issued under this Resolution is that number of Shares which when multiplied by the Issue Price is equal to $120,000. As the exact number of shares to be issued is not known until the issue date, as the issue price is determined based on a future volume weighted average price ( VWAP ) of the Shares. The Company’s Shares closed at $0.025 on the trading day before the issue of this notice. The Table below sets out some worked examples to illustrate the number of Shares that may be issued, depending on the Company's Share price on ASX when the VWAP is to be determined and the resulting dilutionary impact of the Share issue to be approved under this Resolution, based on different issue prices;

  • b) The Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules);

  • c) The Issue Price per share will be the 5 day VWAP per share calculated over the 5 day trading period immediately prior to completion;

  • d) The Shares shall be issued to Attgold, being an entity that is not a related party of the Company;

  • e) The Shares shall be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company, ranking equally with the Company’s existing Shares and for which the Company shall seek quotation on the ASX;

  • f) No funds will be raised from the issue of the Shares given that they will be allotted in satisfaction of the purchase consideration under the Tenement Agreement; and

  • g) Subject to the approval of Shareholders of this Resolution, the Shares are to be allotted in one tranche on completion as contemplated by the Tenement Agreement.

this Notice ($0.025 per Share)

4,809,000 shares being 0.60%
of shares on issue (undiluted)
4,363,636 shares being 0.54%
of shares on issue (undiluted)

The dilutionary impact is calculated by reference to the Company’s current issued Shares as at the date of the Notice of Meeting of 801,963,882 and on the basis that no Options are exercised and no other securities are issued.

The issue is estimated to have a maximum negative dilutionary impact of 0.67% and a minimum negative dilutionary impact of 0.54% based upon the variables above. The actual impact of the issue may be greater or less than these estimates due to fluctuations in the Company’s Share prices as a consequence of matters outside the control of he Company. Shareholder approve is sought to issue the number of Shares calculated in accordance with the terms of the Tenement Agreement as detailed above.

Resolution 5: Approval of additional 10% capacity to issue shares under Listing Rule 7.1A

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, eligible entities (companies that are outside the S&P/ASX 300 index and that also have a market capitalization of $300 million or less) can issue a further 10% of the Company’s share capital, in addition to the 15% Threshold, over a 12 month period following the Annual General Meeting, provided Shareholder approval is obtained at the Annual General Meeting, on a pro-rata basis.

The Company falls within the eligibility criteria required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. The Company’s market capitalization was $20 million based on a closing price of $0.025 as at 11 October 2016

The number of Shares that may be issued (if Shareholder approval is obtained at the Annual General Meeting) will be determined in accordance with the following formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2:

(A x D) – E

  • A is the number of fully paid shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

  • (a) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;

  • (b) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;

  • (c) 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% capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 without Shareholder approval; and

  • (d) 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 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.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 ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

8

Additional disclosure obligations are imposed when the special resolution is proposed, when securities are issued and when any further approval is sought. For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.3A the Company provides the following information:

Minimum price at
which the equity
securities may be issued
The issue price of each Share must be no less than 75% of the volume weighted average
price for the Shares 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 securities are to be issued is agreed; or
(b) if the securities are not issued within 5 trading days of the date in paragraph (a), the
date on which the securities are issued.
Risk of economic and
voting dilution
An issue of shares under Listing Rule 7.1A involves the risk of economic and voting
dilution for existing ordinary security holders. The risks include:
(a) the market price for Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the
date of the approval under Listing rule 7.1A; and
(b) the equity securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price
for the Shares on the issue date.
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A.2 a table describing the notional possible dilution,
based upon various assumptions as stated, is set out below.
Date by which the
Company may issue the
securities
The period commencing on the date of the Annual General Meeting at which approval is
obtained and expiring on the first to occur of the following:
(a) the date which is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which
approval is obtained; and
(b) the date of the approval by holders of the Company’s ordinary securities of a
transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 or 11.2.
The approval under Listing Rule 7.1A will cease to be valid in the event that holders of
the Company’s ordinary securities approve a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 or
11.2.
Purposes for which the
equity securities may be
issued, including
whether the Company
may issue them for
non-cash consideration
It is the Board’s current intention that any funds raised pursuant to an issue of securities
will be applied towards the Company’s exploration and development initiatives. This
would principally include:
(a) Authier Lithium Project feasibility and evaluation costs;
(b) East Kimberley Project exploration and evaluation costs;
(c) Western Australian lithium exploration and evaluation costs; and
(d) working capital requirements;
The Company reserves the right to issue shares for non-cash consideration, including as
non-cash consideration for any acquisition.
Details of the
Company’s allocation
policy for issues under
approval
The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the
time of any proposed issue pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A. The identity of the allottees
will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not
limited to the following:
(a) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company including but not
limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing security holders can
participate;
(c) the effect of the issue of the Listing Rule 7.1A shares on the control of the Company;
(d) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
(e) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
The allottees under the Listing Rule 7.1A facility have not been determined as at the date
of this Notice of Meeting but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new
Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.

2015.

Information under Listing Rule 7.3A.2

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable “A” calculated in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of this Notice.

The table also shows:

  • (a) two examples where variable “A” has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may 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 future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and

  • (b) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

*Note: Current Variable A refers to the calculation required by Listing Rule 7.1A.2 which, in the Company’s case, equates to the current issued share capital of the Company.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • (a) the Company issues the maximum number of Shares available under the 10% ASX Listing Rule 7.1A approval;

  • (b) no options are exercised to convert into Shares before the date of the issues of the Shares available under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A;

  • (c) 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%;

  • (d) the tables does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of a share issue under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the AGM;

  • (e) the table shows only the effect of issues of equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1;

  • (f) the issue of Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A consists only of Shares; and

  • (g) the issue price is $0.025 being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 11 October 2016.

As at the date of the Notice of Meeting the Company has on issue 801,963,882 shares. Subject to Shareholder approval being obtained for Resolution 4, the Company will have capacity to issue the following equity securities as at the date of the AGM:
