NOM AGM - ERM (14 10 21) Final

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. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the Corporations Act, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 together with the declaration of the Directors, the Directors’ report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report.

The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at https://www.emmersonresources.com.au/.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

2.1 General

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of the company.

The remuneration report sets out the company’s remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the company for a financial year.

The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.

2.2 Voting consequences

A company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.

If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.

All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.

Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.

/1464_7

2.3 Previous voting results

At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – DR ALLAN TRENCH

3.1 General

Listing Rule 14.5 provides that an entity which has directors must hold an election of directors at each annual general meeting.

The Constitution sets out the requirements for determining which Directors are to retire by rotation at an annual general meeting.

3.2 Qualifications and other material directorships

Dr Trench holds degrees in Geology, a Doctorate in Geophysics, a Masters in Mineral Economics and a Master’s in Business Administration. His former roles include management of nickel and gold/base metal exploration teams in the Yilgarn region of WA, initially for WMC and subsequently for a group of junior ASX listed companies. From 2002 Dr Trench worked as a business consultant for McKinsey and Company, then as a manager at KCGM Pty Ltd and Woodside Petroleum, and more lately as a consultant with the CRU Group, providing business analysis and intelligence on the global mining and metals markets. He is also a non-executive independent director of a number of Australian listed resources companies.

Dr Trench has been a Director of Emmerson since April 2015 and during the past three years has also served as a director of the following listed companies:

  • (c) Pioneer Resources Ltd (Director 5 September 2003 to 31 March 2020).

3.3 Independence

If re-elected the Board considers Dr Allan Trench will be an independent Director.

3.4 Board recommendation

The Board has reviewed Dr Allan Trench’s performance since his appointment to the Board and considers that Dr Allan Trench’s skills and experience will continue to enhance the Board’s ability to perform its role. Accordingly, the Board supports the re-election of Dr Allan Trench and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

NOM AGM - ERM (14 10 21) Final

4. BACKGROUND TO RESOLUTION 3

As announced on 16 November 2020, the Company entered into a strategic alliance with Tennant Consolidated Mining Group ( TCMG ) ( Strategic Alliance Agreement ). The Company agreed to raise approximately $2 million through the issue of up to 15,384,615 Shares at an issue price of $0.13 together with one (1) free attaching Option for every one (1) Share subscribed for and issued to TCMG ( Capital Raising ).

The funds raised under the Placement intended to be applied towards development of Emmerson’s high-grade gold and copper projects, exploration under the Exploration Earn-In and Joint Venture Agreements and development of the resource pipeline under the Small Mines Joint Venture Agreement.

5. RESOLUTION 3 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES AND OPTIONS UNDER THE CAPITAL RAISING

5.1 General

On 23 March 2021, the Company issued the Shares and Options the subject of the Capital Raising ( Capital Raising Securities ) to TCMG (or their nominees) who participated in the Capital Raising.

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 by an extra 10% to 25%.

The Company’s ability to utilise the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A for issues of equity securities following this Meeting remains conditional on Resolution 4 being passed at this Meeting.

The issue of the Capital Raising 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 Capital Raising 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 Capital Raising Securities.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Capital Raising Securities.

7

NOM AGM - ERM (14 10 21) Final

5.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Capital Raising 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 Capital Raising Securities.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Capital Raising 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 Capital Raising Securities.

It is noted that the Company’s ability to utilise the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A for issues of equity securities following this Meeting remains conditional on Resolution 4 being passed at this Meeting.

5.3 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 3:

  • (a) the Capital Raising Securities were issued to TCMG;

  • (b) in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the recipients 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

  • (ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;

  • (c) 15,384,615 Shares and 15,384,615 Options were issued;

  • (d) the Shares issued to participants in the Capital Raising 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;

  • (e) the Options issued to participants in the Capital Raising were issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1;

  • (f) the Capital Raising Securities were issued on 23 March 2021;

  • (g) the issue price per Share was $0.13 and the issue price of the 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 Capital Raising Securities (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Options);

  • (h) the purpose of the issue of the Capital Raising Securities was to raise $2,000,000, which will be applied towards development of Emmerson’s high-grade gold and copper projects, exploration under the Exploration Earn-In and Joint Venture Agreements and development of the resource pipeline under the Small Mines Joint Venture Agreement; and

8

NOM AGM - ERM (14 10 21) Final

(i) the Capital Raising Securities were issued to TCMG under the Strategic Alliance Agreement. A summary of the material terms of the Strategic Alliance Agreement is set out in Schedule 2.

6. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL OF 7.1A MANDATE

6.1 General

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 period.

However, under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity may seek shareholder approval by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25% ( 7.1A Mandate ).

An ‘eligible entity’ means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300,000,000 or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes.

As at the date of this Notice, 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 $33,381,979 (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 23 September 2021.

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% placement capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A, and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

6.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1A

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

(a) Period for which the 7.1A Mandate is valid

The 7.1A Mandate will commence on the date of the Meeting and expire on the first to occur of the following:

(i) the date that is 12 months after the date of this Meeting;

(ii) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; and

(iii) the time and date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change in the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the main undertaking).

9

NOM AGM - ERM (14 10 21) Final

(b) Minimum price

Any Equity Securities issued under the 7.1A Mandate must be in an existing quoted class of Equity Securities and be issued at a minimum price of 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the entity and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in Section 5.2(b)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(c)

Use of funds raised under the 7.1A Mandate

The Company intends to use funds raised from issues of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate for:

  • (i) the acquisition of new resources, assets and investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition);

  • (ii) continued exploration expenditure on the Company’s current assets/or projects;

  • (iii) the development of the Company’s current business; and

  • (iv) general working capital.

(d)

Risk of Economic and Voting Dilution

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

If Resolution 4 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 7.1A Mandate, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in Listing Rule 7.1A.2, on the basis of the closing market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issue or proposed to be issued as at 23 September 2021.

The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 7.1A Mandate.

*The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a prorata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The table above uses the following assumptions:

  1. There are currently 498,238,489 Shares on issue.

  2. The issue price set out above is the closing market price of the Shares on the ASX on 23 September 2021 being $0.067.

  3. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate.

  4. The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

  5. The issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities. If the issue of Equity Securities includes quoted Options, it is assumed that those quoted Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

  6. 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.

  7. This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under Listing Rule 7.1 unless otherwise disclosed.

  8. 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%.

  9. The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 7.1A Mandate, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • (ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.

11

(e) Allocation policy under the 7.1A Mandate

The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 7.1A Mandate have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.

The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 7.1A Mandate, having regard to the following factors:

  • (i) the purpose of the issue;

  • (ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue, share purchase plan, placement or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;

  • (iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;

  • (v) prevailing market conditions; and

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

  • (f)

SCHEDULE 2 – TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE STRATEGIC ALLIANCE AGREEMENT

On 16 November 2020, Emmerson advised it had entered into a new Strategic Alliance at Tennant Creek with Tennant Consolidated Mining Group ( TCMG ), a subsidiary of TA Private Capital Security Agent advised by TransAsia Private Capital, over much of Emmerson’s Northern Project Area ( NPA ). In June 2021, this Strategic Alliance was extended to also cover Emmerson’s Southern Project Area ( SPA ). The two agreements with TCMG include the following key terms:

Exploration Earn-in and Joint Venture Agreements

$5.5m Exploration Earn-in and Joint Venture ( EEJV ) in the NPA and $5.0m EEJV in the SPA for a total of $10.5m EEJV to earn 75% interest in both NPA and SPA over a five-year period. Under the terms of the earn-in, TCMG will contribute $5.5m of exploration expenditure in the NPA and $5.0m of exploration expenditure in the SPA within five years to earn a 75% equity interest. The full $5.5m of earn-in minimum expenditure in the NPA and full $5.0m in the SPA must be reached by TCMG in order to fulfil the terms of both the Mining and Exploration agreements and before any direct interest in the tenements is achieved.

After the earn-in phase, a Joint Venture can be formed where Emmerson can elect to either maintain its equity position in the NPA or SPA by contributing 25% to the exploration programs or not contribute and dilute its interest.

During the earn-in period in both the NPA and SPA, Emmerson will remain operator and manager and will be paid a management fee by TCMG for this service.

Small Mines Joint Venture

One Small Mines JV ( SMJV ) covering the NPA and one SMJV covering the SPA with Emmerson to receive across both SMJV’s:

  • a free carried 6% gold gross revenue royalty for production from Small Mines (<250,000oz gold equivalent); and

  • a guarantee of 6% of a minimum 60,000oz gold production royalty or cash payment of any shortfall within five years.

  • a free carried 2% gross revenue royalty on all other products, including copper and iron, for production from Small Mines.

Major Mines Joint Venture

Whereby Emmerson retains an immediate 40% equity interest or a 20% free carried interest through to the completion of a definitive feasibility study in any Major Discovery or extension to an existing mine (>250,000oz gold equivalent).

Delineation of Area of Mutual Interest

Delineation of an approximate 20,000km[2] Area of Mutual Interest centred on Tennant Creek aimed at future exploration or acquisitions.

Please refer to the Company’s ASX announcement dated 1 June 2021 for further detail regarding the terms and conditions of the Strategic Alliance Agreement.
