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. RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF PLACEMENT SHARES

1.1 General

On 15 December 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with Ya Hua International Investment and Development Co. Ltd ( Yahua ), under which the Company agreed to issue, and Yahua agreed to subscribe for, 80,000,000 Shares ( Placement Shares ) at an issue price of $0.045 per Share to raise $3,600,000 ( Placement ).

As set out in the Company’s ASX Announcement dated 15 December 2021, Yahua is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sichuan Yahua Industrial Group Co., Ltd which is a listed company on the Shenzhen-stock exchange in China, principally engaged in the manufacture and sales of civil explosive materials and of lithium salt products (“Yahua Group”). Yahua Group is one of China’s major lithium hydroxide and lithium carbonate producers, with existing operations of a 43,000tpa refinery for lithium carbonate, lithium hydroxide and other lithium products, and is in expansion for a further 50,000tpa of lithium hydroxide and 1,000tpa of lithium metal by 2025.

1.2 Subscription Agreement

The material terms of the strategic investment agreement and issue of the Placement Shares to Yahua are as follows:

  • (a) Subscription : Yahua agreed to subscribe for 80,000,000 Placement Shares.

  • (b) Issue Price : The issue price of the Placement Shares was $0.045 per Share. (c) Consideration : The consideration payable by Yahua to the Company was $3,600,000.

The strategic investment agreement otherwise contains provisions considered standard for an agreement of its nature.

1.3 Listing Rules 7.1

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 shares it had on issue at the start of that 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%. This approval was obtained at the Company’s Annual General Meeting held 24 November 2021.

6

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

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

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

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

1.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

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

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

1.5 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 Resolution 1:

  • (a) the Placement Shares were issued to Ya Hua International Investment and Development Co. Ltd ( Yahua ).

  • (b) in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that the recipient was:

  • (i) not a related party of the Company, member of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, substantial holder of the Company, adviser of the Company or an associate of any of these parties; and

  • (ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company, with 8.67% held in the Company post issue of the shares (refer Becoming a Substantial Shareholder form lodged with ASX on 14 January 2022);

7

  • (c) 80,000,000 Placement Shares were issued, and 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;

  • (d) the Placement Shares were issued on 14 January 2022;

  • (e) the issue price was $0.045 per Placement Share. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Placement Shares;

  • (f) the purpose of the issue of the Placement Shares was to raise $3,600,000, which was applied towards funding for the exploration and development of the Company’s lithium projects, and associated working capital; and

  • (g) the Placement Shares were issued under the subscription agreement with Yahua. The material terms of the subscription agreement are set out in Section 1.2 above.

2. RESOLUTIONS 2 AND 3 – ISSUE OF INCENTIVE PERFORMANCE RIGHTS TO DIRECTORS – MR ADRIAN PAUL AND MR NAVINDERJEET SINGH

2.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval to issue 10,000,000 Performance Rights to each of Mr Adrian Paul and Mr Navinderjeet Singh (or their nominee) pursuant to the Performance Rights and Option Plan and on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 2 ( Incentive Performance Rights ).

An Incentive Performance Right will be able to be converted into a Share subject to satisfaction of the achievement of a 5 day Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) of Shares on ASX being equal to or exceeding $0.10 per share within 12 months from the date of issue of the Incentive Performance Rights (the Milestone ).

2.2 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 Incentive Performance Rights to Mr Paul and Mr Singh (or their nominee) constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Paul and Mr Singh are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

The Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issues of the Incentive Performance Rights the subject of Resolutions 2 and 3, because the proposed issue of Incentive Performance Rights represents reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and forms part of the agreed remuneration package for each

8

Director which has been negotiated on an arm’s length basis, and are not more favourable than other commensurate agreements for persons in similar roles in entities similar to the Company.

The Directors (other than Mr Paul and Mr Singh) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of Incentive Performance Rights, because the issue of Incentive Performance Rights constitutes reasonable remuneration payable to Mr Paul and Mr Singh.

2.3 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 Incentive Performance Rights to Mr Paul and Mr Singh falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.

Resolutions 2 and 3 seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Incentive Performance Rights under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14.

2.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 2 and 3 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Incentive Performance Rights to Mr Paul and Mr Singh under the Performance Rights and Option 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 Incentive Performance Rights (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.14), the issue of the Incentive Performance Rights will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolutions 2 and 3 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Incentive Performance Rights to Mr Paul and Mr Singh under the Performance Rights and Option Plan.

2.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 10.15

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 2 and 3:

  • (a) the Incentive Performance Rights will be issued to Mr Paul and Mr Singh (or their nominees), who fall within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.14.1, by virtue of Mr Paul and Mr Singh being Directors;

  • (b) the maximum number of Incentive Performance Rights to be issued to Mr Paul (or his nominee) is 10,000,000;

9

  • (c) the maximum number of Incentive Performance Rights to be issued to Mr Singh (or his nominee) is 10,000,000;

  • (d) the Financial Year ended 30 June 2021 total remuneration for Mr Paul was $159,938, comprising directors’ fees of $120,000 and performance rights of $39,938 (these performance rights have subsequently expired without achievement of milestone). The current total remuneration package for Mr Paul for the Financial Year ending 30 June 2022 is $120,000, comprising directors’ fees of $120,000 p.a.. If the Incentive Performance Rights are issued, the total remuneration package of Mr Paul will increase by $810,000 being the value of the Incentive Performance Rights (based on Black and Scholes methodology);

  • (e) the Financial Year ended 30 June 2021 total remuneration for Mr Singh was $153,809, comprising directors’ fees of $113,871 and performance rights of $39,938 (these performance rights have subsequently expired without achievement of milestone). The current total remuneration package for Mr Singh for the Financial Year ending 30 June 2022 is $120,000 comprising of directors’ fees of $120,000 p.a.. If the Incentive Performance Rights are issued, the total remuneration package of Mr Singh will increase by $810,000 being the value of the Incentive Performance Rights (based on Black and Scholes methodology);

  • (f) there has previously been the issue to Mr Paul and Mr Singh of 10,000,000 performance rights each under the Performance Rights and Option Plan. These performance rights have expired without the achievement of their milestone;

  • (g) a summary of the material terms and conditions of the Performance Rights and Option Plan are set out in Schedule 1;

  • (h) a summary of the terms and conditions of the Incentive Performance Rights are set out in Schedule 2;

  • (i) the Incentive Performance Rights are unquoted performance rights. The Company has chosen to grant the Incentive Performance Rights to Mr Paul and Mr Singh for the following reasons:

  • (i) the Incentive Performance Rights are unlisted, therefore the grant of the Incentive Performance Rights has no immediate dilutionary impact on Shareholders;

  • (ii) the issue of Incentive Performance Rights to Mr Paul and Mr Singh will align the interests of Mr Paul and Mr Singh with those of Shareholders;

  • (iii) the issue of the Incentive Performance Rights is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of this benefit 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 Mr Paul and Mr Singh; and

  • (iv) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in granting the Incentive Performance Rights on the terms proposed;

10

  • (j) the Company values the Incentive Performance Rights at $1,620,000 (being $0.081 per Incentive Performance Right) based on Black and Scholes methodology utilising the following assumptions:
