EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

1. BACKGROUND TO RESOLUTIONS

As announced on 28 November 2023, the Company received firm commitments from existing and new institutional, professional and sophisticated investors to raise a total of $1,600,000 (before costs) through the issue of a total of 8,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.20 per Share together with one free-attaching Option exercisable at $0.25 on or before the date that is 5 years from the date of issue ( Attaching Option ) for every Placement Share subscribed for and issued ( Placement ).

The Placement comprises of:

  • (a) 5,675,000 Shares ( Placement Shares ) and 5,675,000 Attaching Options ( Placement Options ) issued on 14 December 2023 to institutional, professional and sophisticated investors who are unrelated to the Company ( Unrelated Placement Participants ) under the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rules 7.1, which the Company is seeking to ratify under Resolution 1; and

  • (b) 2,325,000 Shares ( Participation Shares ) and 2,325,000 Attaching Options ( Participation Option ) to be issued to Messrs Martin, Pervez and Chye (the Related Party Participants ) (or their nominees) each of whom wish to participate in the Placement on the same terms as the Unrelated Placement Participants subject to Shareholder approval (being the subject of Resolutions 2 to 4).

Funds raised from the Placement will fund working capital and preliminary exploration activities at the Company’s newly staked Campo Grande and Minas Gerais Projects.

The Company engaged the services of Sixty Two Capital Pty Ltd (ACN 611 480 169) ( Sixty Two Capital ) (AFSL 531982), to act as lead manager to the Placement. The Company agreed to pay Sixty Two Capital a fee of $96,000 (being, 6% of the amount raised under the issue of the Placement in consideration for its services.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF PLACEMENT SHARES AND OPTIONS

2.1 General

As set out in Section 1, on 14 December 2023, the Company issued the Placement Shares and Placement Options (together, the Placement Securities ) to the Unrelated Placement Participants.

The issue of the Placement Securities did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of the issue.

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company 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.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit

1

240403 $1.6M Placement NOM (FINAL)

by an extra 10% to 25%. There are restrictions that must be satisfied for the Company to use the extra 10% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.

The Company obtained approval to increase its limit to 25% at the annual general meeting held on 27 November 2023.

The issue of the Placement Securities does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Securities.

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Securities.

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Securities.

2.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 1 is passed, the Placement Securities will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Securities.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Placement Securities will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Securities.

2.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.4

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 1:

  • (a) the Placement Securities were issued to the Unrelated Placement Participants who are clients of Sixty Two Capital. The recipients were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved Sixty Two Capital seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from non-related parties of the Company;

  • (b) in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, other than the parties listed in (c), the Company confirms that none of the Unrelated Placement Participants were:

  • (i) related parties of the Company, members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company or an associate of any of these parties; and

2

240403 $1.6M Placement NOM (FINAL)

  - (ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;
  • (c) the Unrelated Placement Participants included the following parties:

    • (i) Bilal Ahmad, a “substantial holder” for the purposes of the Listing Rules, was issued 815,00 Placement Shares and 815,000 Placement Options; and

    • (ii) Sufian Ahmad, a “substantial holder” for the purposes of the Listing Rules, was issued 700,000 Placement Shares and 700,000 Placement Options;

  • (d) 5,675,000 Placement Shares and 5,675,000 Placement Options were issued;

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

  • (f) the Placement Options were issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1;

  • (g) the Placement Securities were issued on 14 December 2023;

  • (h) the issue price per Placement Share was $0.20 and the issue price of the Placement Options was nil as they were issued free attaching with the Shares on a 1:1 basis. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Placement Securities (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Placement Options);

  • (i) the purpose of the issue of the Placement Securities was to raise $1,135,000, which the Company intends to use in the manner set out in Section 1; and

  • (j) the Placement Securities were not issued under an agreement.

3. RESOLUTIONS 2 TO 4 – APPROVAL OF DIRECTOR PARTICIPATION IN PLACEMENT

3.1 General

As set out in Section 1, the Related Party Participants wish to participate in the Placement on the same terms as Unrelated Placement Participants ( Participation ).

Accordingly, Resolutions 2 to 4 seek Shareholder approval under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of up to an aggregate of 2,325,000 Participation Shares and 2,325,000 Participation Options to the Directors, comprising:

  • (a) 850,000 Participation Shares and 850,000 Participation Options to Mr Robert Martin (or his nominee);

  • (b) 1,275,000 Participation Shares and 1,275,000 Participation Options to Mr Agha Pervez (or his nominee); and

  • (c) up to 200,000 Participation Shares and 200,000 Participation Options to Mr Vincent Chye (or his nominee),

as a result of the Participation on the terms set out below.

The Participation Shares and Participation Options are together referred to as the Participation Securities .

240403 $1.6M Placement NOM (FINAL)

3.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The Participation will result in the issue of the Participation Securities which constitutes giving a financial benefit and the Related Party Participants are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

The Directors (other than Mr Martin who has a material personal interest in Resolution 2) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of Resolution 2 because the Participation Securities will be issued to Mr Martin on the same terms as Placement Securities offered to Unrelated Placement Participants and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

The Directors (other than Mr Pervez who has a material personal interest in Resolution 3) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of Resolution 3 because the Participation Securities will be issued to Mr Pervez on the same terms as Placement Securities offered to Unrelated Placement Participants and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

The Directors (other than Mr Chye who has a material personal interest in Resolution 4) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of Resolution 4 because the Participation Securities will be issued to Mr Chye on the same terms as Placement Securities offered to Unrelated Placement Participants and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

3.3 Section 195(4) of the Corporations Act

Section 195 of the Corporations Act provides that a director of a public company may not vote or be present during meetings of directors when matters in which that director holds a “material personal interest” are being considered, except in certain limited circumstances. Section 195(4) relevantly provides that if there are not enough directors to form a quorum for a directors meeting because of this restriction, one or more of the directors may call a general meeting and the general meeting may pass a resolution to deal with the matter.

It might be argued (but it is neither conceded nor, indeed, is it thought by the Board to be the case) that all of the Directors comprising the Board have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 2 to 4. If each does have such an interest, then a quorum could not be formed to consider the matters contemplated by Resolutions 2 to 4 at Board level.

Accordingly, for the avoidance of any doubt, and for the purpose of transparency and best practice corporate governance, the Company also seeks Shareholder approval for Resolutions 2 to 4 for the purposes of section 195(4) of the Corporations

4

240403 $1.6M Placement NOM (FINAL)

Act in respect of the reliance on the arm’s length terms exception and the decision not to seek Shareholder approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

3.4 Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:

  • 10.11.1 a related party;

  • 10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;

  • 10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;

  • 10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or

  • 10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The Participation falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolutions 2 to 4 seek Shareholder approval for the Participation under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

3.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 2 to 4 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Participation Securities within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and will raise additional funds which will be used in the manner set out in Section 1 above. As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Participation Securities (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Participation Securities will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolutions 2 to 4 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Participation Securities and the Company will not able to raise the full amount under the Placement.

3.6 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 2 to 4:

  • (a) the Participation Securities will be issued to the Related Party Participants (or their nominees), who each fall within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1 by virtue of being a Director. The nominees of the Directors may include their controlled entities or entities controlled by their parents;

5

  • (ii) 1,275,000 Shares and 1,275,000 Participation Options to Mr Agha Pervez (or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 3; and

  • (iii) 200,000 Shares and 200,000 Participation Options to Mr Vincent Chye (or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 4;

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

  • (d) the terms and conditions of the Participation Options are set out in Schedule 1;

  • (e) the Participation Securities will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Participation Securities will be issued on the same date;

  • (f) the Participation Shares will have an issue price of $0.20 and the issue price of the Participation Options will be nil, being the same issue price as the Placement Shares and Placement Options issued to the Unrelated Placement Participants. The Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Participation Securities (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Participation Options);

  • (g) the Participation Securities will be issued as part of the Placement. The purpose of the Placement is to raise capital, which the Company intends to use in the manner set out in Section 1;

  • (h) the issue of the Participation Securities is not intended to remunerate or incentivise the Directors;

  • (i) the Participation Securities are not being issued under an agreement; and

  • (j) voting exclusion statements are included in Resolutions 2 to 4 of the Notice.
