3. Background to the Acquisition

3.1

General background

3.2 Earn-in

The Terms Sheet provides the Company with the opportunity to earn up to 80% interest in the Project by way of a three stage earn-in with PCGI and FMGC.

(together, the Stage 1 Earn-in ).

  • (b) Stage 2 Earn-in

The Company may earn a further 19% interest in the 2 year period after the Stage 1 Earn-in by:

  • (i) expending a further CAD $5,000,000; and

  • (ii) paying consideration of CAD $1,000,000 within 90 days of expending CAD $5,000,000,

(together, the Stage 2 Earn-in ).

Upon completion of the Stage 2 Earn-in, the Company will be granted a 2% net smelter royalty for the Unpatented Mining Claims, the Owned Patented Mining Claims and the Mining Lease, to be executed in the form of a royalty agreement.

  • (c) 10% Buy-in

At any time subsequent to the satisfaction of the Stage 2 Earn-in, the Company may acquire a further 10% interest in the Project by making a cash payment of $3,000,000 to FMGC.

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval to issue the Seller (or its nominees) 25,000,000 Shares as consideration for the Earn-in ( Consideration Shares ) pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more Equity Securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

The effect of Resolution 1 will be to allow the Company to issue the Consideration Shares during the period of three months after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company's 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the issue of the Consideration Shares will not proceed, and the Company will be unable to secure its rights under the Earn-In and proceed with the Acquisition, as set out in Section 3.3.

  • (h) it is intended that the issue of the Consideration Shares will occur within 45 days of the payment of $50,000 cash to FMGC, and in any event, will be issued on the same date; and

  • (i) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

5. Resolution 2 - Ratification of prior issue of Placement Shares

5.1

General

On 28 January 2020, the Company announced that it had received binding commitments for a placement to raise approximately $1.2 million before costs ( Placement ) by the issue of Shares at $0.008 each ( Placement Shares ) to sophisticated and professional investors ( Placement Participants ).

On 3 February 2020, the Company issued 138,250,000 Placement Shares to Placement Participants using the Company's placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 to raise approximately $1.2 million (before costs). The remaining 13,750,000 Shares to be issued under the Placement will be issued subject to Shareholder approval under Resolution 3.

Resolution 2 seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the Placement Shares.

Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

5.2

Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is contained in Section 4.2 above.

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

The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 2 will be to restore the Company's ability to issue further Equity Securities, to the extent of 138,250,000 Equity Securities, during the next 12 months without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

Page 14

If Resolution 2 is not passed, the issue of the Placement Shares will be included in calculation the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue of the Placement Shares.

5.3

Specific 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 the ratification of the issue of the Placement Shares:

  • (a) a total of 138,250,000 Placement Shares were issued on 3 February 2020;

  • (b) the Placement Shares were issued at $0.008 per Share;

  • (c) the Placement Shares issued were fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue;

  • (d) the Placement Shares were issued to the Placement Participants, none of whom is a related party of the Company;

  • (e) the proceeds from the issue of the Placement Shares are intended to be used towards to provide capital to fund the Earn-in, as well as for costs of the Placement and general working capital;

  • (f) the Placement Participants have provided firm commitments to subscribe for the Placement Shares and there are no other material terms of their commitment; and

  • (g) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

6. Resolutions 3(a) 3(b) and 3(c) - Approval to issue Placement Shares to Directors

6.1 General

Pursuant to Resolution 2, the Company is seeking Shareholder to ratify the Placement, being the issue of up to 138,250,000 Placement Shares at an issue price of $0.008 each to raise up to $1.2 million (before costs). A further 13,750,000 Placement Shares will be issued subject to this Resolution 3.

Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX's opinion, such that approval should be obtained, unless an exception in Listing Rule 10.12 applies.

The Related Party Participants are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors. As the Participation involves the issue of Shares to related parties of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.

Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the Participation as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Shares to the Related Party Participants (or their nominees) will not be included in the use of the Company's 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Related Party Participants will not be able to acquire the Placement Shares and the Company will not receive the funds from the issue of the Placement Shares to the Related Party Participants.

6.3

  • (i) up to 7,500,000 Placement Shares to Mr Michael Naylor (or his nominee);

  • (ii) up to 2,500,000 Placement Shares to Mr Samuel Brooks (or his nominee); and

  • (iii) up to 3,750,000 Placement Shares to Mr Ian Gordon (or his nominee);

  • (g) the funds raised will be used for the same purposes as all other funds raised under the Placement as set out in Section 5.3(e);

  • (i) the Related Party Participants have provided firm commitments to subscribe for the Placement Shares and there are no other material terms of their commitment; and

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

In accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, in order to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must:

  • (a) obtain Shareholder approval in the manner set out in section 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

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

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

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

The Board considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the Participation because the Shares will be issued to Related Party Participants on the same terms as Shares issued to non-related party participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm's length terms.

7. Resolutions 4(a) and 4(b) - Approval to issue Options to Directors

7.1

General

The Company is proposing, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue up to a total of 60,000,000 unquoted Options ( Incentive Options ) to current Directors, Mr Michael Naylor and Mr Samuel Brooks ( Related Parties ), or their respective nominees, as follows:

Related Party Incentive Options
Samuel Brooks 30,000,000
Michael Naylor 30,000,000
TOTAL 60,000,000

The Company is in an important stage of development with significant opportunities and challenges in both the near and long-term, and the proposed issue seeks to align the efforts of the Directors in seeking to achieve growth of the Share price and in the creation of Shareholder value. In addition, the Board also believes that incentivising with Incentive Options is a prudent means of conserving the Company's available cash reserves. The Board

Page 17

believes it is important to offer these Incentive Options to continue to attract and maintain highly experienced and qualified Board members in a competitive market.

The Incentive Options are to be issued under the terms of the Equity Incentive Plan ( Plan ), which are summarised in the Company's 2019 notice of annual general meeting, announced on ASX on 25 October 2019.

Resolutions 4(a) and 4(b) are ordinary resolutions.

The Board, which includes the Incoming Directors (other than Messrs Brooks and Naylor who have a material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolutions), recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 4(a) and 4(b).

As Shareholder approval is sought under Listing Rule 10.14, approval under Listing Rules 7.1 or 10.11 is not required.

If Resolutions 4(a) and 4(b) are not passed, the Incentive Options will not be issued to the Related Parties.

7.4 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

In accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, in order to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must:

  • (a) obtain Shareholder approval in the manner set out in section 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 grant of the Incentive Options constitutes giving a financial benefit and the Related Parties are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

The Board (other than Mr Samuel Brooks and Mr Michael Naylor who have a material personal interest in Resolutions 4(a) and 4(b) respectively) considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the grant of the Incentive Options due to the exception in section 211 of the Corporations Act as the agreement to grant the Incentive Options, reached as part of the remuneration package for the Related Parties, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances.

APPOINTMENT OF PROXY

Voting 100% of your holding: Direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. If you do not mark a box your proxy may vote or abstain as they choose (to the extent permitted by law). If you mark more than one box on an item your vote will be invalid on that item.

Voting a portion of your holding: Indicate a portion of your voting rights by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the For, Against or Abstain box or boxes. The sum of the votes cast must not exceed your voting entitlement or 100%.

Appointing a second proxy: You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you appoint two proxies you must specify the percentage of votes or number of securities for each proxy, otherwise each proxy may exercise half of the votes. When appointing a second proxy write both names and the percentage of votes or number of securities for each in Step 1 overleaf.
