(a) the RTB Permits are well located in the Poços de Caldas, Caldera Alkaline Complex and Lithium Valley regions in the state of Minas Gerais;
-
(b) the RTB Permits are prospective for rare earth enriched ionic absorption clay and hard rock spodumene lithium, which is complimentary to the Company’s existing assets; and
-
(c) the potential increase in market capitalisation of the Company following the issue of the RTB Consideration Shares and RTB Consideration Options may lead to increased coverage from investment analysts, access to improved equity capital market opportunities and increased liquidity which are not currently present.
Disadvantages
The Directors are of the view that the following non-exhaustive list of disadvantages may be relevant to a Shareholder’s decision on how to vote on Resolutions 1 and 2:
-
(a) existing Shareholders will have their voting power in the Company diluted;
-
(b) future outlays of funds from the Company may be required to further the exploration and development activities on the RTB Permits, which could lead to future potential dilution for existing Shareholders;
9
6609-02/3356145_15
-
(c) there is no guarantee that the RTB Permits will prove to be economically viable for the Company; and

If Resolution 1 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the RTB Consideration Shares. In addition, the issue of the RTB Consideration Shares will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the RTB Consideration Shares, and will not be able to meet its consideration obligations under the RTB Option Agreement, which may result in the RTB Option Agreement being terminated before the Company can exercise the RTB Option.
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the RTB Consideration Shares.
2.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 1:

-
(d) the RTB Consideration 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 Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the RTB Consideration Shares will occur on the same date;
-
(e) the RTB Consideration Shares will be issued at a nil issue price, in part consideration for the Company exercising the RTB Option;
-
(f) the purpose of the issue of the RTB Consideration Shares is to satisfy part of the Company’s consideration obligations under the RTB Option Agreement;
-

The objective of the Plan is to attract, motivate and retain key employees, contractors and other persons who provide services to the Company, and the Company considers that the adoption of the Plan and the future issue of securities under the Plan will provide these parties with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.
4.2 Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b)
As summarised in Section 2.1 above, and subject to a number of exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2, 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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)) provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue of securities under an employee incentive scheme if, within three years before 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.
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 in the notice of meeting.
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to issue securities under the Plan to eligible participants over a period of 3 years from the date of the Meeting. The issue of any securities to eligible participants under the Plan (up to the maximum number of securities stated in Section 4.3(b) below) will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Company must seek Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 in respect of any future issues of securities under the Plan to a related party or a person whose relationship with the Company or the related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of securities under the Plan to eligible participants, 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 those securities.

4.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13)
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13), the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 3:
-
(a) a summary of the key terms and conditions of the Plan is set out in Schedule 2;
-
(b) the Company has not issued any securities under the Plan as this is the first time that Shareholder approval is being sought for the adoption of the Plan;
-
(c) the Company is seeking Shareholder approval to adopt the Plan to include the new terms and conditions required by Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act, which replaced the previous relief provided by ASIC Class Order 14/1000 (Employee Incentive Scheme); and
-
(d) the maximum number of securities proposed to be issued under the Plan in reliance on Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)), is 32,046,467 securities. It is not envisaged that the maximum number of securities for which approval is sought will be issued immediately.
5. RESOLUTIONS 4 TO 7 – ISSUE OF INCENTIVE OPTIONS TO DIRECTORS
5.1 General
The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval and to the adoption of the Plan (refer to Resolution 3), to issue an aggregate of 30,000,000 zero exercise price options ( ZEPOs ) to Dato Sia Hok Kiang, Harun Halim Rasip, Stan Wassylko and Eric Vesel (or their nominees) ( Related Parties ) pursuant to the Plan and on the terms and conditions set out below.
5.2
Director Recommendation
Each Director has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 4 to 7 on the basis that all of the Directors (or their nominees) are to be issued ZEPOs should Resolutions 4 to 7 be passed. For this reason, the Directors do not believe that it is appropriate to make a recommendation on Resolutions 4 to 7 of this Notice.
5.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that 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 issue of the ZEPOs to the Related Parties constitutes giving a financial benefit and each of the Related Parties is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
14
6609-02/3356145_15
As the ZEPOs are proposed to be issued to all of the Directors, the Directors are unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to the issue of the ZEPOs. Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the issue of ZEPOs to the Related Parties is sought in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
5.4
Listing Rule 10.14
Listing Rule 10.14 provides that an entity must not permit any of the following persons to acquire equity securities under an employee incentive scheme without the approval of the holders of its ordinary securities:
-
10.14.1 a director of the entity;
-
10.14.2 an associate of a director of the entity; or
-
10.14.3 a person whose relationship with the entity or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.14.1 to 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by security holders.
The issue of ZEPOs to the Related Parties falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.
Resolutions 4 to 7 seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the ZEPOs under and for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.14.
5.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
Subject to the passing of Resolution 3, if Resolutions 4 to 7 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the ZEPOs to the Related Parties under the Plan within three years after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the ZEPOs (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.14), the issue of the ZEPOs will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolutions 4 to 7 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the ZEPOs to the Related Parties under the Plan and may have to use other methods to remunerate and retain the Related Parties which may not be as cost effective for the Company.
Resolutions 4 to 7 are conditional on Resolution 3 also being passed. Therefore, if Resolution 3 is not passed, the Board will not be able to proceed with the issue of the ZEPOs to the Related Parties under the Plan.
5.6 Technical information required by Listing Rule 10.15 and section 219 of the Corporations Act
Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 10.15 and section 219 of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 4 to 7:
(a) the ZEPOs will be issued to the following persons:
(i) Dato Sia Hok Kiang (or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 4; (ii) Harun Halim Rasip (or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 5;
15
6609-02/3356145_15
-
(iii) Stan Wassylko (or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 6; and
-
(iv) Eric Vesel (or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 7,
each of whom falls within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.14.1 by virtue of being a Director;
-
(b) the maximum number of ZEPOs to be issued to the Related Parties (being the nature of the financial benefit proposed to be given) is 30,000,000 comprising:
-
(i) 5,000,000 ZEPOs to Dato Sia Hok Kiang (or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 4;
-
(ii) 7,500,000 ZEPOs to Harun Halim Rasip (or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 5;
-
(iii) 7,500,000 ZEPOs to Stan Wassylko (or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 6; and
-
(iv) 10,000,000 ZEPOs to Eric Vesel (or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 7;
-
(c) as this is the first time that the Shareholder approval is being sought for the adoption of the Plan, no Options have been previously issued under the Plan;
-
(d) a summary of the material terms and conditions of the ZEPOs is set out in Schedule 3;
-
(e) the ZEPOs are unquoted Options. The Company has chosen to issue ZEPOs to the Related Parties for the following reasons:
-
(i) the issue of ZEPOs is to provide non-cash-based remuneration to the Related Parties after the Related Parties decided on a moratorium regarding Director fees for the 2022 and 2023 financial years;
-
(ii) the ZEPOs are unquoted; therefore, the issue of the ZEPOs has no immediate dilutionary impact on Shareholders; and
-
(iii) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the ZEPOs on the terms proposed;
-
(f) the number of ZEPOs to be issued to each of the Related Parties has been determined based upon a consideration of:
-
(i) current market standards and/or practices of other ASX listed companies of a similar size and stage of development to the Company;
-
(ii) the remuneration of the Related Parties; and
-
(iii) incentives to attract and ensure continuity of service of the Related Parties who have appropriate knowledge and expertise, while maintaining the Company’s cash reserves.
16
6609-02/3356145_15
The Company does not consider that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the ZEPOs upon the terms proposed;
- (g) the total remuneration package for each of the Related Parties for the previous financial year and the proposed total remuneration package for the current financial year are set out below:

-
(j) the issue price of the ZEPOs will be nil, as such no funds will be raised from the issue of the ZEPOs;
-
(k) the purpose of the issue of the ZEPOs is to motivate and reward the performance of the Related Parties in their roles as Directors and to provide a cost-effective way from the Company to remunerate the Related Parties, which will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to the Related Parties;

-
(m) no loans are being made to the Related Parties in connection with the acquisition of the ZEPOs;

(p) the relevant interests of the Related Parties in securities of the Company as at the date of this Notice are set out below:
As at the date of this Notice
| Related Party | Shares1 | Options |
|---|---|---|

| Harun Halim Rasip | 246,048,249 | 20,000,000 |

|---|---|---|
| Dato Sia Hok Kiang | 10,631,563 | 17,142,857 |

| Stan Wassylko | 33,248,314 | 34,642,857 |
| Eric Vesel | 8,850,411 | 62,142,857 |
- (q) if the ZEPOs issued to the Related Parties are exercised, a total of 30,000,000 Shares would be issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 640,929,340 (being the total number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice) to 670,929,340 (assuming that no Shares are issued and no convertible securities vest or are exercised) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of 4.47%, comprising 0.745% by Dato Sia Hok Kiang, 1.118% by Harun Halim Rasip, 1.118% by Stan Wassylko and 1.49% by Eric Vesel;
The market price for Shares during the term of the ZEPOs would normally determine whether the ZEPOs are exercised. If, at any time any of the ZEPOs are exercised and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the ZEPOs, there may be a perceived cost to the Company.
(r) the trading history of the Shares on ASX in the 12 months before the date of this Notice is set out below:
| Price | Date | |
|---|---|---|
| Highest | $0.051 | 26 February 2024 |
| Lowest | $0.005 | 27 June 2023 to 11 July 2023 |
| Last | $0.037 | 27 February 2024 |

SCHEDULE 2 – TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYEE SECURITIES INCENTIVE PLAN
A summary of the material terms of the Company’s Employee Securities Incentive Plan ( Plan ) is set out below.
| Eligible Participant | Eligible Participantmeans a person that is a ‘primary participant’ (as that term is defined in Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act) in relation to the Company or an Associated Body Corporate (as defined in the Corporations Act) and has been determined by the Board to be eligible to participate in the Plan from time to time. |
|---|---|
| Purpose | The purpose of the Plan is to: (a) assist in the reward, retention and motivation of Eligible Participants; (b) link the reward of Eligible Participants to Shareholder value creation; and (c) align the interests of Eligible Participants with shareholders of the Group (being the Company and each of its Associated Bodies Corporate), by providing an opportunity to Eligible Participants to receive an equity interest in the Company in the form of Plan Shares, Options, Performance Rights and other convertible securities (Securities). |
| Maximum number of Convertible Securities |
The Company will not make an invitation under the Plan which involves monetary consideration if the number of Shares that may be issued, or acquired upon exercise of Convertible Securities offered under an invitation, when aggregated with the number of Shares issued or that may be issued as a result of all invitations under the Plan during the 3 year period ending on the day of the invitation, will exceed 5% of the total number of issued Shares at the date of the invitation (unless the Constitution specifies a different percentage and subject to any limits approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b). The maximum number of equity securities proposed to be issued under the Plan in reliance on Listing Rule 7.2 (Exemption 13(a)), following Shareholder approval, is 32,046,467 Securities. It is not envisaged that the maximum number of Securities will be issued immediately. |
| Plan administration | The Plan will be administered by the Board. The Board may exercise any power or discretion conferred on it by the Plan rules in its sole and absolute discretion (except to the extent that it prevents the Participant relying on the deferred tax concessions under Subdivision 83A-C of the_Income Tax Assessment Act 1997_(Cth)). The Board may delegate its powers and discretion. |
| Eligibility, invitation and application |
The Board may from time to time determine that an Eligible Participant may participate in the Plan and make an invitation to that Eligible Participant to apply for any (or any combination of) the Securities provided under the Plan on such terms and conditions as the Board decides. |
24
6609-02/3356145_15
| On receipt of an invitation, an Eligible Participant may apply for the Securities the subject of the invitation by sending a completed application form to the Company. The Board may accept an application from an Eligible Participant in whole or in part. If an Eligible Participant is permitted in the invitation, the Eligible Participant may, by notice in writing to the Board, nominate a party in whose favour the Eligible Participant wishes to renounce the invitation. |
|
|---|---|
| Grant of Securities | The Company will, to the extent that it has accepted a duly completed application, grant the Participant the relevant number and type of Securities, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the invitation, the Plan rules and any ancillary documentation required. |
| Rights attaching to Convertible Securities |
AConvertible Securityrepresents a right to acquire one or more Plan Shares in accordance with the Plan (for example, an Option or a Performance Right). Prior to a Convertible Security being exercised, the holder: (a) does not have any interest (legal, equitable or otherwise) in any Share the subject of the Convertible Security other than as expressly set out in the Plan; (a) is not entitled to receive notice of, vote at or attend a meeting of the shareholders of the Company; (b) is not entitled to receive any dividends declared by the Company; and (c) is not entitled to participate in any new issue of Shares (see Adjustment of Convertible Securities section below). |
| Restrictions on dealing with Convertible Securities |
Convertible Securities issued under the Plan cannot be sold, assigned, transferred, have a security interest granted over or otherwise dealt with unless in Special Circumstances as defined under the Plan (including in the case of death or total or permanent disability of the holder) with the consent of the Board in which case the Convertible Securities may be exercisable on terms determined by the Board. A holder must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of hedging their economic exposure to a Convertible Security that has been granted to them. |
| Vesting of Convertible Securities |
Any vesting conditions applicable to the Convertible Securities will be described in the invitation. If all the vesting conditions are satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, a vesting notice will be sent to the Participant by the Company informing them that the relevant Convertible Securities have vested. Unless and until the vesting notice is issued by the Company, the Convertible Securities will not be considered to have vested. For the avoidance of doubt, if the vesting conditions relevant to a Convertible Security are not satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, that security will lapse. |
| Forfeiture of Convertible Securities |
Convertible Securities will be forfeited in the following circumstances: (a) in the case of unvested Convertible Securities only, where the holder ceases to be an Eligible Participant (e.g. is no |
25
6609-02/3356145_15
| longer employed or their office or engagement is discontinued with the Company and any Associated Bodies Corporate (as defined in the Corporations Act) (the Group); (b) in the case of unvested Convertible only, where a Participant acts fraudulently, dishonestly, negligently, in contravention of any Group policy or wilfully breaches their duties to the Group; (c) where there is a failure to satisfy the vesting conditions in accordance with the Plan; (d) on the date the Participant becomes insolvent; or (e) on the Expiry Date. |
|
|---|---|
| Listing of Convertible Securities |
Convertible Securities granted under the Plan will not be quoted on the ASX or any other recognised exchange. The Board reserves the right in its absolute discretion to apply for quotation of Convertible Securities granted under the Plan on the ASX or any other recognised exchange. |
| Exercise of Convertible Securities and cashless exercise |
To exercise a security, the Participant must deliver a signed notice of exercise and, subject to a cashless exercise (see next paragraph below), pay the exercise price (if any) to or as directed by the Company, at any time following vesting of the Convertible Securities (if subject to vesting conditions) and prior to the expiry date as set out in the invitation or vesting notice. An invitation to apply for Convertible Securities may specify that at the time of exercise of the Convertible Securities, the Participant may elect not to be required to provide payment of the exercise price for the number of Convertible Securities specified in a notice of exercise, but that on exercise of those Convertible Securities the Company will transfer or issue to the Participant that number of Shares equal in value to the positive difference between the Market Value of the Shares at the time of exercise and the exercise price that would otherwise be payable to exercise those Convertible Securities. Market Valuemeans, at any given date, the volume weighted average price per Share traded on the ASX over the 5 trading days immediately preceding that given date, unless otherwise specified in an invitation. Convertible Securities may not be exercised unless and until that security has vested in accordance with the Plan rules, or such earlier date as set out in the Plan rules. |
| Timing of issue of Shares and quotation of Shares on exercise |
Within five business days after the issue of a valid notice of exercise by a Participant, the Company will issue or cause to be transferred to that Participant the number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled under the Plan rules and issue a substitute certificate for any remaining unexercised Convertible Securities held by that Participant. |
26
6609-02/3356145_15
| Restriction periods and restrictions on transfer of Shares on exercise |
If the invitation provides that any Shares issued upon the valid exercise of a Convertible Security are subject to any restrictions as to the disposal or other dealing by a Participant for a period, the Board may implement any procedure it deems appropriate to ensure the compliance by the Participant with this restriction. Additionally, Shares issued on exercise of the Convertible Securities are subject to the following restrictions: (a) if the Company is required but is unable to give ASX a notice that complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act, Shares issued on exercise of the Convertible Securities may not be traded until 12 months after their issue unless the Company, at its sole discretion, elects to issue a prospectus pursuant to section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act; (b) all Shares issued on exercise of the Convertible Securities are subject to restrictions imposed by applicable law on dealing in Shares by persons who possess material information likely to affect the value of the Shares and which is not generally available; and (c) all Shares issued on exercise of the Convertible Securities are subject to the terms of the Company’s securities trading policy. |
|---|---|
| Rights attaching to Shares on exercise |
All Shares issued upon exercise of Convertible Securities will rank equally in all respects with the then Shares of the Company. |
| Change of control | If a change of control event occurs (being an event which results in any person (either alone or together with associates) owning more than 50% of the Company’s issued capital), unvested Convertible Securities will vest unless the Board determines in its discretion otherwise. The Board’s discretion in determining the treatment of any unvested Convertible Securities on a change of control event is limited to vesting or varying any vesting conditions in respect to the Convertible Securities and does not include a discretion to lapse or forfeit unvested Convertible Securities for less than fair value. |
| Participation in entitlements and bonus issues |
Subject always to the rights under the following two paragraphs, Participants will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to holders of Shares such as bonus issues and entitlement issues. |
| Adjustment for bonus issue |
