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 – APPROVAL OF ISSUE OF CONSIDERATION SECURITIES TO THE VENDORS
1.1 Background
On 1 November 2021, the Company announced that it had entered into a Heads of Agreement ( HoA ) to acquire all of the shares in Dalkeith Capital Pty Ltd ( Dalkeith ).
Dalkeith holds two exploration license applications in the Gascoyne Region of Western Australia that are considered to be prospective for Rare Earth Elements ( REE ) ( Gascoyne Project ), two exploration license applications prospective for bright white kaolin and High Purity Alumina ( HPA ) located 460km east of Perth ( Koolya Project ) and one exploration license application prospective for gold 50km east of Kalgoorlie ( Kalgoorlie Project ).
As part of the consideration payable under the HoA the Company has agreed to issue certain securities, Shares and Performance Shares, to the Vendors (the Consideration Securities ):
-
(a) an aggregate of 75,000,000 Shares (the Initial Consideration Shares ) at a deemed issue price of $0.016 each to the HoA; and
-
(b) an aggregate of 37,500,000 Performance Shares in two (2) tranches to the Vendors, the conversion of which into Shares is subject to and conditional upon the following events occurring (in broad terms), within the time limits set out below (each a Performance Milestone Condition ):
-
(i) 18,750,000 Class C Performance Shares upon the Company announcing to ASX, completion of a drilling program on a Tenement and at least one drill intercept grading a minimum of 800ppm Total Rare Earh Oxides ( TREO ) over at least 5 metres, as verified by an independent competent person under the JORC Code, within 5 years of the date of issue of the Class C Performance Shares; and
-
(ii) 18,750,000 Class D Performance Shares upon the Company announcing to ASX delineation of a JORC compliant resource on the Tenements of a minimum of 15 million tonnes grading a minimum of 800ppm TREO, as verified by an independent competent person under the JORC Code, within 5 years of the date of issue of the Class D Performance Shares (together, the Performance Shares ).
The HoA, and therefore the issue of the Consideration Securities, is subject to the following conditions precedent:
-
(a) the Company completing legal, technical and financial due diligence on Dalkeith Capital Pty Ltd and the Gascoyne, Koolya and Kalgoorlie Projects within 30 days from the date of execution of the HoA;
-
(b) the Company obtaining Shareholder approval for issue of the Consideration Securities; and
-
(c) the Company completing the Capital Raising.
1.2 ASX Listing Rule Requirements
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid Ordinary Securities it had on issue at the start of that period.
11
The issue of the Consideration Securities does not fit within any of the exceptions and exceeds the 15% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Frontier’s shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
To this end, Resolution 1 seeks shareholder approval of issue of the Consideration Securities and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 1 is passed, the issue of the Consideration Securities to the Vendors can proceed without using up any of the Company’s 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without shareholder approval set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the issue of the Consideration Securities to the Vendors will not be able to proceed and, as such, the acquisition of all the shares in Dalkeith will not be able to proceed without the amendment of the HoA or waiver of the shareholder approval condition noted in part (b) of Schedule 1.
1.3 Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 1:
-
(a) Name of the person to receive securities
-
The Consideration Securities will be issued to the Vendors, being shareholders of Dalkeith as set out below:
-
(i) Langhetti Investment Pty Ltd as trustee for TLE Superannuation A/C;
-
(ii) Ashburton Resources Pty Ltd;
-
(iii) Wellstar Holdings Pty Ltd as trustee for Wellstar Holdings Pty Ltd;
-
(iv) Melbor Pty Ltd as trustee for RJW Family A/C;
-
(v) Ten Bricks Pty Ltd; and
-
(vi) DC & PC Holdings Pty Ltd as trustee for DC & PC Neesham Super A/C.
Langhetti Investments Pty Ltd is a company associated with Tom Langley, a Technical Consultant of the Company.
Ashburton Resources Pty Ltd, Wellstar Holdings Pty Ltd and Ten Bricks Pty Ltd are all entities controlled by directors of Inyati Capital Pty Ltd, who acted as adviser to the Company in relation to the Capital Raising.
Melbor Pty Ltd and DC & PC Holdings Pty Ltd are not material investors[1 ] of the Company,
(b) The number and class of securities the entity will issue
The maximum number of securities to be issued by the Company under Resolution 1 is:
-
(i) 75,000,000 Shares;
-
(ii) 18,750,000 Class C Performance Shares; and
1 ASX consider the following to be material investors:
(i). a related party of the entity;
(ii). a member of the entity’s key management personnel;
(iii). a substantial holder in the entity;
(iv). an adviser to the entity; or
(v). an associate of any of the above,
where such person or entity is being issued more than 1% of the entity’s current issued capital.
12
(iii) 18,750,000 Class D Performance Shares.
(c) Date the entity will issue the securities
It is anticipated that, subject to Shareholder approval being received, the Consideration Securities will be issued on 22 December 2021 but otherwise within 3 months after the date of the Meeting. It is intended that all of the Consideration Securities will be issued on the same date, being the date of completion of the Dalkeith transaction.
(d) The price of consideration the entity will receive for the securities
The Consideration Securities are being issued to satisfy the consideration agreed to under the HoA and, as such, there will be no funds raised by the issue.
(e)
The purpose of the issue
The purpose of the issue of the Consideration Securities is to satisfy the consideration agreed to under the HoA.
(f) A summary of the material terms of the agreement
The Consideration Securities are being issued pursuant to the HoA. A summary of the material terms of the HoA are set out in Schedule 1.
(g) Voting exclusion statement
A Voting Exclusion Statement has been provided for Resolution 1 in the Business of the Meeting Section of this Notice of Meeting.
1.4 Board Recommendation
The Board believes that the approval of the issue of the Consideration Securities is beneficial for the Company as it allows the Company to retain the flexibility to issue further securities representing up to 15% of the Company’s share capital during the next 12 months without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval. Accordingly, the Board recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
2. RESOLUTION 2 - APPROVAL OF PLACEMENT SHARES
2.1 Background
On 1 November 2021, the Company announced its intention to raise approximately $400,000 by way of a placement to professional and sophisticated investors at $0.016 per share ( Capital Raising ).
Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of 25,000,000 Shares ( Placement Shares ) under the Capital Raising ( Placement ).
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid Ordinary Securities it had on issue at the start of that period.
The Placement does not fit within any of the exceptions under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. While the Placement does not exceed the 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and can therefore be made without breaching that rule, the Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. To do this, the Company is asking Shareholders to approve the Placement under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 so that it does not use up any of the 15% limit on issuing equity securities without shareholder approval set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval of the issue of the Placement Shares.

14
share capital during the next 12 months without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval. Accordingly, the Board recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
3. RESOLUTION 3 - APPROVAL OF FRONTIER PERFORMANCE SECURITIES PLAN
3.1 Background
The Directors considered that it was desirable to establish an employee equity incentive plan pursuant to which employees may be offered the opportunity to be granted certain Equity Securities to acquire Shares in the Company.
Accordingly, the purpose of Resolution 3 is to adopt the Frontier Performance Securities Plan.
The purpose of the Frontier Performance Securities Plan is to:
-
(a) reward employees of the Company;
-
(b) assist in the retention and motivation of employees of the Company; and
-
(c) provide an incentive to employees of the Company to grow shareholder value by providing them with an opportunity to receive an ownership interest in the Company.
The Board is seeking shareholder approval for the Frontier Performance Securities Plan in accordance with the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Principles and Recommendations (4th Edition).
In addition, approval is sought under ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13) which provides an exemption from the ASX Listing Rule 7.1 15% annual limit on securities issued under an employee share incentive scheme provided, within three years before the date of issue, shareholders have approved the issue of securities under the Frontier Performance Securities Plan. In the absence of such approval, the issue can still occur but is counted as part of the ASX Listing Rule 7.1 15% limit which would otherwise apply during a 12 month period.
3.2 Regulatory Requirements –ASX Listing Rules
The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13:
- (a) Summary of Frontier Performance Securities Plan
A summary of the terms of the Frontier Performance Securities Plan is set out in Schedule 3.
- (b) Previous issues of securities under the Frontier Performance Securities Plan
The Company has not issued securities under the Frontier Performance Securities Plan.
The Company has not previously issued Equity Securities under its previous employee incentive scheme within the last five years, being the Frontier Resources Ltd Employee Option Plan.
(c) Maximum number of Equity Securities
Where an offer is made in reliance on ASIC Class Order 14/1000, the total number of Shares issued (or in the case of performance rights and options, the total number of Shares which would be issued if those performance rights or options were exercised) must not exceed 5% of the total number of Shares on issue.
Therefore the Company proposes to issue a total of up to 41,000,000 Equity Securities under the Frontier Performance Securities Plan.
(d) Voting Exclusion Statement
A voting exclusion statement for Resolution 3 is included in the Notice of Meeting preceding this Explanatory Statement.

3.3 Regulatory Requirements - Corporations Act
The Corporations Act restricts the benefits that can be given to persons who hold a “managerial or executive office” (as defined in the Corporations Act) on leaving their employment with the Company or any of its related bodies corporate.
Under section 200B of the Corporations Act, a company may only give a person a benefit in connection with them ceasing to hold a managerial or executive office if the benefit is approved by shareholders or an exemption applies.
The term “benefit” has a wide meaning and may include benefits resulting from the Board exercising certain discretions under the rules of the Frontier Performance Securities Plan.
If Shareholder approval is given under this Resolution the Company will still be required to comply with ASX Listing Rules 10.18 and 10.19, which place restrictions on the circumstances in which termination benefits can be paid and a cap on the value of termination benefits that can be paid to officers of the Company.
Details of Termination Benefit
The Board possesses the discretion to determine, where a participant ceases employment before the vesting or exercise of their securities issued under the Frontier Performance Securities Plan, that some or all of the securities issued under the Frontier Performance Securities Plan do not lapse.
The exercise of this discretion may constitute a “benefit” for the purposes of section 200B of the Corporations Act.
In addition, a participant may become entitled to accelerated vesting or automatic vesting of securities issued under the Frontier Performance Securities Plan if there is a change of control of the Company. This accelerated or automatic vesting of securities issued under the Frontier Performance Securities Plan may constitute a “benefit” for the purposes of section 200B of the Corporations Act.
The Company is therefore seeking Shareholder approval for the exercise of the Board’s discretions and for the provision of such accelerated or automatic vesting rights in respect of any current or future participant in the Frontier Performance Securities Plan who holds:
-
(a) a managerial or executive office in the Company (or any of its related body corporate) at the time of their leaving or at any time in the three years prior to their leaving; and
-
(b) securities issued under the Frontier Performance Securities Plan at the time of their leaving.
The Board’s current intention is to only exercise the above discretion:
-
(a) where the employee leaves employment without fault on their part; and
-
(b) so as only to preserve that number of unvested securities issued under the Frontier Performance Securities Plan as are pro-rated to the date of leaving.
Provided Shareholder approval is given, the value of these benefits may be disregarded when applying section 200F(2)(b) or section 200G(1)(c) of the Corporations Act (i.e. the approved benefit will not count towards the statutory cap under the legislation).
Value of the Termination Benefits
The value of the termination benefits that the Board may give under the Frontier Performance Securities Plan cannot be determined in advance. This is because various matters will or are likely to affect that value. In particular, the value of a particular benefit will depend on factors such as the Company’s Share price at the time of vesting and the number of securities issued under the Frontier Performance Securities Plan that vest.
The following additional factors may also affect the benefit’s value:
-
(a) the participant’s length of service and the portion of vesting periods at the time they cease employment;
-
(b) the status of the performance hurdles attaching to the securities issued under the Frontier Performance Securities Plan at the time the participant’s employment ceases; and
16
- (c) the number of unvested securities issued under the Frontier Performance Securities Plan that the participant holds at the time they cease employment or at the time the change of control occurs (as applicable).
3.4 Board Recommendation
Each of the Directors have an interest in the outcome of Resolution 3 and accordingly do not make a voting recommendation to Shareholders.
4. RESOLUTIONS 4 TO 9 - APPROVAL OF ISSUE OF OPTIONS
4.1 Background
Shareholders are being asked to approve Resolutions 4 to 9 to allow Options to be issued to members of the Key Management Personnel and the Company’s Technical Consultant as set out below.
The Board has determined that the issue of Options to the Directors, Alec Pismiris, Peter Swiridiuk and Brian Thomas, and the issue of Options to the Technical Consultant, Thomas Langley, Company Secretary, Matthew Foy, and the Chief Financial Officer, Benjamin Bussell, are an appropriate form of incentive for the Company’s Key Management Personnel and the Technical Consultant.
The Board considers that Options are an important tool in rewarding, retaining and incentivising employees and advisers of the Company.
The Directors consider it is appropriate for the Options under Resolutions 4 to 9 to be issued for the reasons set out below:
-
(a) the Directors consider it is important for the Company to be able to attract and retain experienced personnel and that the proposed grant of Options to each Company’s Key Management Personnel and the Technical Consultant is appropriate taking into account the relevant level of experience and contribution to the Company of the recipients.
-
(b) the Company has previously issued options to Company’s Key Management Personnel and Resolutions 4 to 9 ensure a congruent and consistent remuneration philosophy.
-
(c) the Directors consider that the proposed number of Options to be granted to each of Alec Pismiris, Peter Swiridiuk, Brian Thomas, and Thomas Langley, Matthew Foy and Benjamin Bussell is appropriate and in accordance with the Company’s remuneration policy to:
-
(i) motivate the Company’s directors, employee and consultants;
-
(ii) align the interests of key leadership with the long-term interests of the Shareholders; and
-
(iii) ensure a clear correlation between performance and remuneration.
If the Company is unable to issue the proposed Options under Resolutions 4 to 9 then it may need to consider whether, in order to attract and retain appropriate directors, employees and consultants, it needs to increase the level of cash fees payable. By issuing the Options, the Company will be able to preserve a greater portion of its cash reserves operating expenditure than it would if additional cash remuneration were given to the Company’s Key Management Personnel and the Technical Consultant.
5. RESOLUTIONS 4 TO 6 - APPROVAL OF ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO ALEC PISMIRIS, PETER SWIRIDIUK AND BRIAN THOMAS
5.1 ASX Listing Rule 10.11
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed entity must not issue or agree to issue securities to any of the following, unless it obtains shareholder approval by ordinary resolution:
- (a) a related party;
17
-
(b) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the entity;
-
(c) person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the entity and who has nominated a director to the board of the entity pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;
-
(d) an associate of a person referred to in items (a) - (c) above; or
-
(e) a person whose relationship with the entity, or a person referred to items (a) - (d) above is such that in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved its Shareholders.
As each of Alec Pismiris, Peter Swiridiuk and Brian Thomas are Directors of the Company, they are considered related parties under item (a) above and accordingly, shareholder approval is required under ASX Listing Rule 10.11.
Resolutions 4 to 6 seek the requisite shareholder approval to the issue of Options under and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11.
If shareholders approve Resolutions 4 to 6, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Options to Alec Pismiris, Peter Swiridiuk and Brian Thomas and/or their nominees on the terms and conditions as set out in this Notice of Meeting.
If shareholders do not approve Resolutions 4 to 6, the Company will not be able to issue Options to Alec Pismiris, Peter Swiridiuk and Brian Thomas and/or their nominees and the Board would need to consider alternative remuneration arrangements.
To ensure Frontier can attract and retain the right talent and align the interests of directors with those of shareholders, the Board considers it is important for Frontier to offer incentives to its Directors that are in line with market practice.
5.2 Section 208 of the Corporations Act
Section 208(1) of the Corporations Act provides that a public company must not, without the approval of the Company’s members, give a financial benefit to a related party unless an exception to the prohibition as set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to that issue.
As Directors of the Company, Alec Pismiris, Peter Swiridiuk and Brian Thomas are related parties of the Company for the purposes of section 228(2) Corporations Act. The issue of the Options proposed under Resolutions 4 to 6 will constitute the giving of a financial benefit to a related party for the purposes of section 229(3)(e) of the Corporations Act.
The Board has resolved that the grant of Options to each of Alec Pismiris, Peter Swiridiuk and Brian Thomas (with each abstaining from the approval of the issue of their own Options) constitutes reasonable remuneration within the meaning of section 211(1) of the Corporations Act as the Company wishes to maximise the use of its cash resources towards the Company’s development and equity based incentives, such as options, are used to supplement cash based remuneration.
For the reasons set out above, shareholder approval is not required under section 208(1) of the Corporations Act, however approval is still required for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11.

6. RESOLUTIONS 7 TO 9 - APPROVAL OF ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO THOMAS LANGLEY, MATTHEW FOY AND BENJAMIN BUSSELL
6.1 ASX Listing Rule 7.1
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid Ordinary Securities it had on issue at the start of that period.
The issue of the Options to Thomas Langley, Matthew Foy and Benjamin Bussell do not fit within any of the exceptions under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. While issue of the Options to Thomas Langley, Matthew Foy and Benjamin Bussell do not exceed the 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and can therefore be made without breaching that rule, the Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. To do this, the Company is asking Shareholders to approve issue of the Options to Thomas Langley, Matthew Foy and Benjamin Bussell under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 so that it does not use up any of the 15% limit on issuing equity securities without shareholder approval set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 8 seeks Shareholder approval of the Options to Matthew Foy.
If Resolution 8 is passed, the issue of the Options to Matthew Foy can proceed without using up any of the Company’s 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without shareholder approval set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 8 is not passed, the issue of the Options to Matthew Foy can still proceed but it will reduce, to that extent, the Company’s capacity to issue equity securities without shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for 12 months following the issue of the Options to Matthew Foy.
Resolution 9 seeks Shareholder approval of the Options to Benjamin Bussell.
If Resolution 9 is passed, the issue of the Options to Benjamin Bussell can proceed without using up any of the Company’s 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without shareholder approval set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 9 is not passed, the issue of the Options to Benjamin Bussell can still proceed but it will reduce, to that extent, the Company’s capacity to issue equity securities without shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for 12 months following the issue of the Options to Benjamin Bussell.

27
-
(i) holders may give written notification to the Company if they consider that the conversion of a Performance Share may result in the contravention of the General Prohibition.

SCHEDULE 3 – SUMMARY OF FRONTIER PERFORMANCE SECURITIES PLAN
The material terms of the Frontier Performance Securities Plan are as follows:
-
(a) ( Eligibility ) The Board may, in its absolute discretion, invite an “Eligible Person” to participate in the Frontier Performance Securities Plan. An “Eligible Person” includes a director, full-time or part-time employee, contractor, or casual employee of the Company.
-
(b) ( Nature of Awards ) Each Option or Performance Right under the Frontier Performance Securities Plan entitles the participant holding the Option or Performance Right, to subscribe for, or be transferred, one Share. Any Share acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Award will rank equally with all existing Shares from the date of acquisition.
-
(c) ( Vesting ) Awards may be subject to exercise conditions, performance hurdles or vesting conditions ( Conditions ). These Conditions must be specified in the Offer Letter to Eligible Persons. In the event that a takeover bid for the Company is declared unconditional, there is a change of control in the Company, or if a merger by way of a scheme of arrangement has been approved by a court, then the Board may determine that:
-
(i) all or a percentage of unvested Options will vest and become exercisable;
-
(ii) all or a percentage of Performance Rights will be automatically exercised; and

(e) ( Disposal restrictions ) Awards granted under the Frontier Performance Securities Plan may not be assigned, transferred, novated, encumbered with a security interest (such as a mortgage, charge, pledge, lien, encumbrance or other third party interest of any nature) over them, or otherwise disposed of by a participant, other than to a nominated party (such as an immediate family member, trustee of a trust or company) in accordance with the Frontier Performance Securities Plan, unless:
-
(i) the prior consent of the Board is obtained; or
-
(ii) such assignment or transfer occurs by force of law upon the death of a participant to the participant's legal personal representative.
-
(f)
-
( Lapse ): Unvested Awards will generally lapse on the earlier of:
-
(i) the cessation of employment, engagement or office of a relevant person;

-
(iii) if any applicable Conditions are not achieved by the relevant time;
-
(iv) if the Board determines that any applicable Conditions have not been met and cannot be met prior to the date that is 5 years from the grant date of an Award or any other date determined by the Board and as specified in the Offer ( Expiry Date ); or
-
(v)
-
the Expiry Date.
Where a participant ceases to be employed or engaged by the Company and is not a “Bad Leaver” (as that term is defined in the Frontier Performance Securities Plan), and the Awards have vested, they will remain
29
exercisable until the Awards lapse in accordance with the Frontier Performance Securities Plan rules or if they have not vested, the Board will determine as soon as reasonably practicable after the date the participant ceases to be employed or engaged, how many (if any) of those participant’s Awards will be deemed to have vested and exercisable.
Where a participant becomes a “Bad Leaver” (as that term is defined in the Frontier Performance Securities Plan), all Awards, unvested or vested, will lapse on the date of the cessation of employment, engagement or office of that participant.
