BY ORDER OF THE BOARD

Dan Travers COMPANY SECRETARY

Dated this 6[th] day of October 2023

ENCOUNTER RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 47 109 815 796

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The purpose of the Explanatory Statement is to provide Shareholders with information concerning all of the Agenda Items in the Notice of Annual General Meeting.

Certain abbreviations and other defined terms are used throughout this Explanatory Statement. Defined terms are generally identifiable by the use of an upper case first letter. Details of the definitions and abbreviations are set out in the Glossary to the Explanatory Statement.

1. Discussion of Financial Statements & Reports

The Company’s financial reports for the financial year ended 30 June 2023, together with the Directors’ reports and the auditor’s report are placed before the Annual General Meeting thereby giving Shareholders the opportunity to discuss those documents and to ask questions. The auditor will be attending the Annual General Meeting and will be available to answer any questions relevant to:

the conduct of the audit;
the preparation and content of the independent audit report;
the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of accounts; and
the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.

Shareholders should consider these documents and raise any matters of interest with the Directors when this item is being considered.

2. Adoption of Remuneration Report

Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires the Company to present to its Shareholders the Remuneration Report, as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report.

The Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. The Annual Report (together with the Remuneration Report) is available on the Company’s website (www.enrl.com.au).

Under the Corporations Act, if at least 25% of the votes cast on the Resolution to Agenda Item 2 are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting, and then again at the Company's next Annual General Meeting, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of a general meeting to consider the appointment of directors of the Company ( Spill Resolution ).

If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene the general meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the Company's Annual General Meeting. All of the Directors who were in office when the Company's Directors' report 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 is approved will be the Directors of the Company.

The proportion of votes cast in a poll against the adoption of the 2022 Remuneration Report was less than 25% of the total votes cast. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

The Remuneration Report explains the Board policies in relation to the nature and level of remuneration paid to the Directors and sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for each of the Directors and senior management of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2023. The Remuneration Report is part of the Directors’ Report contained in the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2023.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.

The Board considers that its current practices of setting executive and non-executive remuneration are within normal industry expectations, and provides an effective balance between the need to attract and retain the services of the highly skilled key management personnel that the Company requires. As such the Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution to Agenda Item 2.

Voting

Note that a voting exclusion applies to Agenda Item 2 in the terms set out in the Notice of Meeting. In particular, the Directors and other Restricted Voters may not vote on this Resolution and may not cast a vote as proxy, unless the appointment gives a direction on how to vote or the proxy is given to the Chair and expressly authorises the Chair to exercise your proxy even if the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel.

ENCOUNTER RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 47 109 815 796

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

By appointing the Chair as proxy, and not providing voting directions, you are considered to have expressly authorised the Chair to exercise your proxy, even though the Resolution may be connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel. The Chair will use any such proxies to vote in favour of the Resolution.

Shareholders are urged to carefully read the proxy form and provide a direction to the proxy on how to vote on this Resolution.

3. Re-Election of Director – Dr Jon Hronsky OAM (BAppSci, PhD, MAusImMM, FSEG) as an Ordinary Resolution

Experience

Dr. Hronsky has more than thirty seven years of experience in the mineral exploration industry, primarily focused on project generation, technical innovation and exploration strategy development. Dr. Hronsky has particular expertise in targeting for nickel sulfide deposits, but has worked across a diverse range of commodities. His work led to the discovery of the West Musgrave nickel sulfide province in Western Australia. Dr. Hronsky was most recently Manager-Strategy & Generative Services for BHP Billiton Mineral Exploration. Prior to that, he was Global Geoscience Leader for WMC Resources Ltd. He is currently a Director of exploration consulting group Western Mining Services Pty Ltd and former Chairman of the board of management of the Centre for Exploration Targeting at the University of Western Australia.

During the last 3 years Dr Hronsky has been a director of Cassini Resources Limited until its acquisition by Oz Minerals Limited in 2020. Dr Hronsky is currently a Non-Executive Director of Paladin Energy Limited (ASX:PDN), Caspin Resources Limited (ASX:CPN) and Azumah Resources Limited (delisted from ASX 19 February 2020).

Term of Office

Independence

The Board of Encounter Resources Limited considers Dr Hronsky to be an Independent Director.

Special Responsibilities

Dr Hronsky is Chair of the Company’s Audit Committee.

Directors’ Recommendation

The Board (excluding Dr Hronsky) supports the proposed re-election and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the re-election of Dr Hronsky as a Director.

4. Approval of Additional 10% Placement Capacity

as a Special Resolution

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 the period.

Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital without shareholder approval over a 12 month period after the Annual General Meeting at which a resolution for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is passed by special resolution ( Additional 10% Placement Capacity ). The Additional 10% Placement Capacity is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

An entity will be eligible to seek approval under Listing Rule 7.1A if: (a) the entity has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less; and (b) the entity is not included in the S&P ASX 300 Index. The Company’s market capitalisation as at 5 October 2023 was $99m and therefore the Board considers that it is an eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A.

The number of Equity Securities to be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula set out in Listing Rule 7.1A.2.

The Company is putting Agenda Item 5 to Shareholders to seek approval to issue additional Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity.

ENCOUNTER RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 47 109 815 796

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Resolution does not mean that the Company will necessarily utilise the Additional 10% Placement Capacity. Rather, capital markets have recently been in a state of fluctuation and the Directors acknowledge that they may need to act quickly to raise funds when favourable markets emerge. The Company’s failure to raise capital, if and when needed, could delay or suspend the Company’s business strategy and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s activities. Under these circumstances, the Additional 10% Placement Capacity will provide flexibility for the Company to issue additional securities, in the event that the Directors determine that the issue of the additional securities is in the interests of the Shareholders and the Company in achieving its objectives.

4.1 Listing Rule 7.1A

The effect of Agenda Item 5 will be to permit the Company to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the Additional Placement Period (as defined below) without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Equity Securities issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company. As at the date of this Notice the Company has quoted securities in the form of Shares on issue.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company has 395,525,781 Shares on issue and therefore, subject to Shareholder approval being obtained under Agenda Item 5, up to 39,552,578 Equity Securities will be permitted to be issued in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A. Shareholders should note that the calculation of the number of Equity Securities permitted to be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity is a moving calculation and will be based on the formula set out in Listing Rule 7.1A at the time of issue of the Equity Securities. The table on the page below demonstrates various examples as to the number of Equity Securities that may be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity.

The Resolution in relation to Agenda Item 5 is a special resolution, requiring approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative) in order to be passed.

4.2 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3A:

(a) The Equity Securities issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity will be issued at an issue price (being for a cash consideration per security) which is not less than 75% of the volume weighted average price for the Company's Equity Securities in the same 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 securities; or
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
(b) If the Resolution in relation to Agenda Item 5 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity, the existing Shareholders' economic and voting interests in the Company will be diluted. There is also a risk that:
(i) the market price for the Company's Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and
(ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's Equity Securities on the issue date of the Equity Securities.

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders of the issue of the maximum number of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity using different variables for the number of ordinary securities for variable “A” (as defined in Listing Rule 7.1A) and the market price of Shares. It is noted that variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue at the time of the proposed issue of Equity Securities.

(iii) the dilutionary effect will always be 10% if the maximum number of Equity Securities that may be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity are issued.

Note: this table assumes:

(i) no Options are exercised before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities;
(ii) the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity and the Equity Securities issued consist only of Shares;
(iii) the table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the Additional 10% Placement Facility, based on that Shareholders’ holding at the date of the Annual General Meeting; and
(iv) the table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
(c) Approval of the Additional 10% Placement Capacity will be valid from the date of the Annual General Meeting and will expire on the earlier of:
(i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting;
(ii) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; and
(iii) the time and date of the approval by Shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),

( Additional Placement Period ).

The Company must issue the Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity for cash consideration.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

(d) Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.3A.3, if Equity Securities are issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity, the Company intends to use the funds to advance its exploration programs, assess and acquire exploration assets and for general working capital purposes.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 upon issue of any Equity Securities.
(e) The Company’s allocation policy for the issue of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity will be dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of the proposed placement(s), if one were to occur. Securities allotted pursuant to the allocation policy will be determined following consideration of a number of factors including, but not limited to, the following matters:
(i) the ability of the Company to raise funds at the time of the proposed issue of Equity Securities;
(ii) the dilutionary effect of the proposed of the issue of the Equity Securities on existing Shareholders at the time of proposed issued of Equity Securities;
(iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
(iv) advice from its professional advisers, including corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

At the date of this Notice, the Company has not formed an intention as to whether the securities will be offered to existing security holders, or to any class or group of existing security holders, or whether the securities will be offered exclusively to new investors that have not previously been security holders of the Company. The Company will give consideration before making any placement of securities under Listing Rule 7.1A whether the raising of any funds under such placement could be carried out in whole, or in part, by an entitlement offer to existing security holders.

The allottees under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but will not include related parties (or their associates) of the Company.

ENCOUNTER RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 47 109 815 796

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

4.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If the Resolution in relation to Agenda Item 5 is passed, the Company will be able to issue additional Equity Securities up to the combined 25% of its issued share capital over a 12 month period after the Annual General Meeting under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any Shareholder approval.

If the Resolution in relation to Agenda Item 5 is not passed the Company will not be able to access the Additional 10% Placement Capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval provided for in 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.

4.4 Directors’ Recommendation

The Board recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Agenda Item 5.

5. Adoption of Encounter Resources Limited Employee Share Option Plan

as an Ordinary Resolution

Agenda Item 6 seeks Shareholder approval for the adoption of the Encounter Resources Limited Employee Share Option Plan ( Plan ) in accordance with Exception 13 of ASX Listing Rule 7.2.

The current incentive plan was last approved by Shareholders on 26 November 2021 and the proposed Plan includes certain amendments due to changes in legislation since that prior approval.

The Plan is designed to provide incentives to the employees, Directors of the Company, and other eligible persons, and to recognise their contribution to the Company’s success. Under the Company’s current circumstances the Directors consider that the incentives to employees, Directors, and other eligible persons are a cost effective and efficient incentive for the Company as opposed to alternative forms of incentives such as cash bonuses or increased remuneration. To enable the Company to secure employees, Directors, and other eligible persons who can assist the Company in achieving its objectives, it is necessary to provide remuneration and incentives to such personnel. The Plan is designed to achieve this objective, by encouraging continued improvement in performance over time and by encouraging personnel to acquire and retain significant shareholdings in the Company.

The Plan incorporates the facility for participants to undertake a ‘cash less exercise’, whereby, in lieu of paying the aggregate exercise price to purchase the Shares, the Board may, in its sole and absolute discretion, permit a participant to elect to receive a reduced number of Shares, in lieu of payment of cash or other consideration.

The number of Shares received will be determined in accordance with the following formula:

B ( C − D ) A = C

where:

A = the number of Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number) to be issued to the Participant;

B = the number of Shares otherwise issuable upon the exercise of the Option or portion of the Option being exercised;

C = the Market Value of one Share determined as of the date of delivery to the Company Secretary; and

D = the exercise price.

For example, if a Participant holds 50 Options (which have vested and are therefore capable of exercise), each with an exercise price of $1.00 and they elect to exercise all of their Options by paying the exercise price, they would pay $50 and receive 50 Shares. However, if the Participant elects their rights under the cashless exercise facility, and the Market Value of one Share prior to exercise is $1.50, the Participant will pay no cash and receive 16 Shares (being 50($1.50 - $1.00)/$1.50 = 16.67, rounded down to 16 Shares.

Shareholder approval is required if any issue of Options pursuant to the Plan is to fall within the exception to the calculation of the 15% limit imposed by Listing Rule 7.1 on the number of securities which may be issued without Shareholder approval. ASX Listing Rule 7.2 provides certain exceptions to ASX Listing Rule 7.1, allowing certain issues of securities to be excluded from the calculation of the number of securities issued during the 12 months period. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b) which provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue of securities under an employee incentive scheme, if within three years of the date of issue of the securities, the holders of the entity’s ordinary securities have approved the issue of Equity Securities under the scheme as exception to Listing Rule 7.1.

ENCOUNTER RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 47 109 815 796

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Exception 13(b) is only available if and to the extent that the number of Equity Securities issued under the scheme does not exceed the maximum number set out in the entity’s notice of meeting dispatched to shareholders in respect of the meeting at which shareholder approval was obtained pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)). Exception 13(b) also ceases to be available if there is a material change to the terms of the scheme from those set out Schedule 2 of the Notice of Meeting.

Prior Shareholder approval will be required before any Director or related party of the Company can participate in the Plan.

Under the Plan, the Board may offer to eligible persons the opportunity to subscribe for such number of Options in the Company as the Board may decide, and on the terms set out in the rules of the Plan. Options granted under the Plan will be offered to participants in the Plan on the basis of the Board’s view of the contribution of the eligible person to the Company.

In accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b), the following information is provided:
(a) a summary of the terms and conditions of the Plan is attached at Schedule 2 to this Explanatory Statement;
(b) a total of 3,450,000 Options have been issued pursuant to the terms of an approved employee incentive plan since the last Shareholder approval on 26 November 2021;
(c) the maximum number of Equity Securities proposed to be issued under the Plan, following Shareholder approval is 19,776,289 (being 5% of the issued capital of the Company at the date of this Notice. It is not envisaged that the maximum number of securities for which approval is sought will be used immediately); and
(d) a voting exclusion statement has been included for the purposes of Agenda Item 5.

Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Agenda Item 5 is passed, the Company will be able to issue securities under the Plan without impacting on the Company’s ability to issue up to 15% of its total ordinary securities without Shareholder approval in any 3 year period.

If Agenda Item 5 is not passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of securities under the Plan to eligible persons, but any issues of securities will reduce, to that extent, the Company’s capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the issue of the securities.

6. Information Relating to the Proposed Issue of Options to Directors – Agenda Items 6 to 9 each as Ordinary Resolutions

Agenda Items 6 to 9 seek Shareholder approval in accordance with Listing Rule 10.11 and Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act for the issue of the Incentive Options to Directors of the Company, as applicable ( Participating Directors ).

6.1 Incentive Options

Agenda Items 6 to 9 seek Shareholder approval to allow the Company to issue unlisted Options, being the Incentive Options, to the Participating Directors.

The number of Incentive Options to be granted to each of the Participating Directors has been determined based upon a consideration of:

(a) the remuneration / fees of the Participating Directors;
(b) the Directors’ wish to ensure that the remuneration / fees offered is competitive with market standards. The Directors have considered the proposed number of Incentive Options to be granted will ensure that the Participating Directors’ overall remuneration / fees is in line with market standards; and
(c) incentives to attract and ensure continuity of service of Directors who have appropriate knowledge and expertise.

The grant of the Incentive Options is considered an appropriate remuneration strategy to align the interests of the individual with those of the Company’s strategic plan focusing on optimising performance with the benefits flowing through to enhanced Shareholder returns, whilst also protecting the Company’s cash reserves so that they can be directed towards the Company’s operations.

ENCOUNTER RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 47 109 815 796

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

6.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Agenda Items 6 to 9 are passed, the Company will be able to issue the Incentive Options pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 to each of the Participating Directors, as incentive-based remuneration.

If Agenda Items 6 to 9 are not passed, the Company will not proceed with the issue of the Incentive Options as applicable to the Agenda Item not passed, and the Board may elect to implement alternative remuneration practices, which may be increased cash-based remuneration packages for all Directors, including for executive Directors, or alternative shortterm incentive arrangements which may be cash or equity based.

6.3 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 (including options) to, inter alia, a related party of the company, such as a director, without the Company obtaining the approval of its Shareholders. If Shareholder approval is given under Listing Rule 10.11, Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 14 provides that Shareholder approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1.

The issue of the Incentive Options falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 as the Participating Directors are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors of the Company and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

Agenda Items 6 to 9 seek the required Shareholder approval to issue the Incentive Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

6.4 Corporations Act - Chapter 2E

Pursuant to 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 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 proposed issue of the Incentive Options constitutes giving a financial benefit, and Messrs Robinson, Bewick, Hronsky and Crutchfield are related parties of the Company by virtue of being current Directors.

Relevantly, there is an exception if the company first obtains the approval of its shareholders in a general meeting in circumstances where certain requirements specified in Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act in relation to the convening of that meeting have been met or where the financial benefit constitutes objectively reasonable remuneration.

Further, section 195(1) of the Corporations Act provides that a director of a public company who has a material personal interest in a matter that is being considered at a directors' meeting must not be present while the matters are being considered at the meeting or vote on the matter. However, section 195(4) of the Corporations Act provides that if there are then not enough directors to form a quorum for a directors' meeting, one or more of the directors (including those who have a material personal interest in that matter) may call a general meeting and the general meeting may pass a resolution to deal with the matter.

The Board believes that the issue of the Incentive Options to the Directors constitute reasonable remuneration and an appropriate incentive to the Directors. However, in the interests of good governance and in the current market conditions, the Board believes it is appropriate to give Shareholders the right to vote on these Resolutions under the approval regime of section 195(4) and Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act. Accordingly, the Directors have determined the Shareholders should have the opportunity to vote on the giving of the financial benefit pursuant to section 208 and 195(4) of the Corporations Act under each of Agenda Items 6 to 9.

ENCOUNTER RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 47 109 815 796

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The following information is provided to Shareholders to allow them to assess the proposed Resolutions:

(a) The related party to whom the proposed Resolution would permit the financial benefit to be given and nature of financial benefit.

Subject to Shareholder approval, the Incentive Options will be granted to the following:

*Director*	*Number of Options*	*Expiry Date*	*Exercise Price*
*Incentive Options:*
Mr Will Robinson (or nominee)	300,000	4 years from Grant Date	150% of 5 day VWAP prior to Issue Date
Mr Peter Bewick (or nominee)	120,000
Mr Philip Crutchfield (or nominee)	120,000
Dr Jon Hronsky (or nominee)	120,000

The Incentive Options will have an expiry date as disclosed in the table above and will be issued in accordance with terms and conditions as set out in Schedule 1 of this Explanatory Statement.

The Directors of the Company consider the indicative theoretical value attributable to the Options at a valuation date of 5 October 2023 to be as follows, notwithstanding that the Options will not be issued until after 24 November 2023 being the date of the Annual General Meeting of the Shareholders of the Company.

Incentive Options:

ncentive Options:
Director	Number of Options	Exercise Price	Expiry Date	Indicative Value
Will Robinson	300,000	39.2 cents	5 Oct 2027	$49,670
Peter Bewick	120,000	39.2 cents	5 Oct 2027	$19,868
Philip Crutchfield	120,000	39.2 cents	5 Oct 2027	$19,868
Jon Hronsky	120,000	39.2 cents	5 Oct 2027	$19,868

The Black and Scholes option valuation methodology was used as a basis for the calculations using the following assumptions:

(i) The 5 day volume weighted average price of a fully paid Share as at the valuation date of 5 October 2023 was $0.261.
(ii) The risk free interest rate used was 4.14% (based on the 5 year Reserve Bank treasury bond rates respectively as at 5 October 2023).
(iii) A volatility factor of 98.4% was used to value the options as determined using the daily closing share prices for the last 12 months.
(iv) The Black and Scholes option pricing model assumes that the Options the subject of the valuation can be sold on a secondary market. The terms and conditions of the proposed Options state that the Options shall not be listed for official quotation on ASX.
(v) Any change in the variables applied in the Black and Scholes calculation between the date of the valuation and the date the Options are granted would have an impact on their value.

(b) Directors’ Recommendations

The Participating Directors have a material personal interest in the outcome of Agenda Items 6 to 9 on the basis that all Participating Directors (or their nominees) are to be issued Incentive Options should the Resolutions to Agenda Items 6 to 9 be passed. For this reason, the Directors do not believe that it is appropriate to make a recommendation on Agenda Items 6 to 9.

Agenda Items 7, 8 and 9 propose the issue of Incentive Options to Non-Executive Directors, which is not consistent with the Recommendations of the ASX Corporate Governance Council (Principle 8) 4[th] Edition. The Board considers that the proposed issue of Incentive Options to Non-Executive Directors will align their interests with those of existing security holders in general, but are not likely to lead to bias in their decision making or compromise their objectivity.

ENCOUNTER RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 47 109 815 796

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

(c) Directors’ Interest

Mr Robinson has a material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution the subject of Agenda Item 6 as the recipient of Incentive Options.

Mr Bewick has a material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution the subject of Agenda Item 7 as the recipient of Incentive Options.

Mr Crutchfield has a material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution the subject of Agenda Item 8 as the recipient of Incentive Options.

Dr Hronsky has a material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution the subject of Agenda Item 9 as the recipient of Incentive Options.

A voting exclusion and a voting prohibition apply to each Director in respect of voting at this Annual General Meeting in respect of the Resolutions in which they have a direct material personal interest.

(d) Terms and Conditions of Options

The terms and conditions of the Incentive Options proposed to be granted to the Participating Directors are included at Schedule 1 of this Explanatory Statement.

The Options will also have the following specific terms:

the key terms, as set out in section 6.4(a) of this Explanatory Statement above; and
the benefit of the cashless exercise facility on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1 this Explanatory Statement, as applicable to the Incentive Options.

(e) Other information reasonably required by the members to make a decision and that is known to the Company or any of its Directors

The Incentive Options form part of the Company’s long term incentive for employees and are to be granted in addition to the total fixed remuneration/fees set out below. The exercise price of the Incentive Options is linked to improved Share price performance. Importantly, this provides ongoing incentive to increase Shareholder value over time and the exercise price reflects levels in excess of the current market price of the Company’s Shares.

The number of Incentive Options to be issued to the Participating Directors has been determined based on the reasons outlined in the Directors’ recommendation to Shareholders at section 6.4(b) of the Explanatory Statement. The number of Incentive Options has also been determined having regard to less tangible factors such as alignment of interests to the Company. The Incentive Options shall be granted for nil consideration to the Participating Directors (or their respective nominees) and will be issued within one month of the date of the meeting. Exercise of the Incentive Options is allowable immediately after issue, but only likely to occur if there is sustained upward movement in the Company’s Share price.

If the Incentive Options proposed to be granted to the Participating Directors (or their respective nominees) under Agenda Items 6 to 9 are exercised, the Company’s issued Share capital would increase by a maximum of 660,000 Shares to a total of issued Share capital of 396,185,781 Shares (assuming no other Shares are issued or outstanding Options are exercised), and will represent a maximum of approximately 0.17% of the total issued capital of the Company on a fully diluted basis. The maximum dilution stated is calculated based on all of the Options being exercised by payment of the exercise price in full.

Should any of the Participating Directors elect to utilise the cashless exercise provisions, pursuant to rule 1.10 of the terms in Schedule 1 to the Explanatory Statement, this would result in a lesser number of Shares to be issued, and a reduction in the funds receivable by the Company, on the exercise of the Incentive Options.

7. Ratification of Placement Shares – ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and ASX Listing Rule 7.1A – Agenda Items 10 and 11

7.1 General

On 29 May 2023, the Company issued 40,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.25 per Share ( Placement Shares ) to raise approximately $10.0 million ( Placement ).

4,447,422 Placement Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being, the subject of Agenda Item 10); and
35,552,578 Placement Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A (being the subject of Agenda Item 11).

The Company engaged the services of Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited and Chieftain Securities (WA) Pty Ltd ( Joint Lead Managers ), to manage the issue of the Placement Shares. The Company has paid the Joint Lead Managers a cash placement fee of $500,000 (being 5% of the gross amount raised pursuant to the Placement).

In addition, the Company issued the Joint Lead Managers with 500,000 Options for their services in relation to the placement ( Adviser Options ). Ratification of prior issue of the Adviser Options is sought pursuant to Agenda Item 12.

7.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that a company may seek Shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to have an Additional 10% Placement Capacity, provided that it is an eligible entity ( Eligible Entity ).

An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:

is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and
has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300,000,000.

At the time approval was obtained, the Company was an Eligible Entity as it was not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and had a market capitalisation of less than $300 million. The Additional 10% Placement Capacity is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

The issue of the Placement Shares under the Placement 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 and 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A as shown above, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.

7.3 ASX Listing Rule 7.4

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.1A (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.1A) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A.

ENCOUNTER RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 47 109 815 796

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

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 and up to the Additional 10% Placement Capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Shares.

7.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Agenda Items 10 and 11 are passed, the Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and the Company’s Additional 10% Placement Capacity in Listing Rule 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 Shares.

If Agenda Items 10 and 11 are not passed, the Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and the Company’s Additional 10% Placement Capacity in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing 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 Shares.

7.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Agenda Items 10 and 11:

a) the Placement Shares were issued to professional and sophisticated investors who are clients of the Joint Lead Managers or existing shareholders of the Company. The recipients were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved the Joint Lead Managers seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from nonrelated parties of the Company. None of the recipients are related parties of the Company.

Silver Lake Resources Limited participated in the Placement and were issued 2,076,000 ordinary fully paid shares. Silver Lake Resources Limited were substantial holders of the Company at the time;

b) 4,447,422 Placement Shares were issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1; and
c) 35,552,578 Placement Shares were issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A.
d) the Placement Shares issued 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 Placement Shares were issued on 29 May 2023;
f) the issue price was $0.25 per Placement Share. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Placement Shares;
g) the purpose of the issue of the Placement Shares was to raise approximately $10.0 million (before costs), which will be primarily be used for:
accelerated exploration program at Aileron Project in the West Arunta, (including Geochemistry covering new gravity targets, Geophysics, RC and diamond drilling);
copper, REE and lithium exploration at the Company’s projects in the Northern Territory and Western Australia; and
general working capital and costs of the Placement;
h) the Placement Shares were not issued under an agreement; and
i) voting exclusions apply to Agenda Items 10 and 11 and are set out in the Notice of Meeting.

7.5 Directors’ Recommendation

The Adviser Options were valued using a Black and Scholes option valuation model at the date of issue and were attributed a deemed value of $64,393.

8.2 Terms and conditions of Adviser Options

A summary of the terms and conditions of the Adviser Options is as follows:

a) Entitlement: Each Option entitles the holder to subscribe for one Share upon exercise of the Option.
b) Exercise Price: Subject to paragraph (k), the amount payable upon exercise of each Option will be $0.50
( Exercise Price ).
c) Expiry Date: Each Option will expire at 5:00pm (WST) on 29 May 2026 ( Expiry Date ). An Option not exercised before the Expiry Date will automatically lapse on the Expiry Date.
d) Exercise Period: The Options are exercisable at any time and from time to time on or prior to the Expiry Date ( Exercise Period ).
e) Notice of Exercise: The Options may be exercised during the Exercise Period by notice in writing to the Company in the manner specified on the Option certificate or as otherwise agreed with the Company ( Notice of Exercise ) and payment of the Exercise Price for each Option being exercised in Australian currency by electronic funds transfer or other means of payment acceptable to the Company.

g) Timing of issue of Shares on exercise: Within 5 Business Days after the Exercise Date, the Company will:

m) Transferability of the Options: The Options are transferable at the election of the holder subject to any restriction or escrow arrangements imposed by the ASX or under applicable Australian securities law.

8.3 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4

A summary of the provisions of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in section 7.2 above.

The issue of the Adviser Options does not fit within any of the exceptions 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 Adviser Options.

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. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Adviser Options.

8.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Agenda Item 12 is passed, the Adviser Options will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, 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 Adviser Options.

If Agenda Item 12 is not passed, the Adviser Options will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Adviser Options.

8.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Agenda Item 12:

a) the Adviser Options were issued to Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited and Chieftain Securities (WA) Pty Ltd (and their nominees), as the Joint Lead Managers to the Placement, who are not related parties of the Company;
b) 500,000 Adviser Options were issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1;
