How to vote

Shareholders can vote by either:

  • attending the Meeting and voting in person or by attorney or, in the case of corporate Shareholders, by appointing a corporate representative to attend and vote; or

  • appointing a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf using the Proxy Form for this Notice of Meeting and by submitting their proxy appointment and voting instructions in person, by post, electronically via the internet or by facsimile.

Voting in person (or by attorney)

Shareholders, or their attorneys, who plan to attend the Meeting are asked to arrive at the venue 15 minutes prior to the time designated for the Meeting, if possible, so that their holding may be checked against the Company's share register and their attendance recorded. To be effective a certified copy of the Power of Attorney, or the original Power of Attorney, must be received by the Company in the same manner, and by the same time as outlined for proxy forms below.

Voting by a Corporation

A Shareholder that is a corporation may appoint an individual to act as its representative and vote in person at the Meeting. The appointment must comply with the requirements of section 250D of the Corporations Act. The representative should bring to the Meeting evidence of his or her appointment, including any authority under which it is signed.

Voting by proxy

  • A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies. Each proxy will have the right to vote on a poll and also to speak at the Meeting.

  • The appointment of the proxy may specify the proportion or the number of votes that the proxy may exercise. Where two proxies are appointed and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder's votes each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half of the votes.

  • A proxy need not be a Shareholder.

  • The proxy can be either an individual or a body corporate.

  • If a proxy is not directed how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may generally vote, or abstain from voting, as they think fit. However, where a Restricted Voter is appointed as a proxy, the proxy may only vote on Resolution 1 in accordance with a direction on how the proxy is to vote or, if the proxy is the Chair of the Meeting and the appointment expressly authorises the Chair to exercise the proxy even if the Resolutions is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel.

  • Should any resolutions, other than those specified in this Notice of Meeting, be proposed at the Meeting, a proxy may vote on that resolutions as they think fit.

  • If a proxy is instructed to abstain from voting on an item of business, they are directed not to vote on the Shareholder's behalf on the poll and the Shares that are the subject of the proxy appointment will not be counted in calculating the required majority.

  • Shareholders who return their Proxy Forms with a direction how to vote, but who do not nominate the identity of their proxy, will be taken to have appointed the Chair of the Meeting as their proxy to vote on their behalf. If a Proxy Form is returned but the nominated proxy does not attend the Meeting, the Chair of the Meeting will act in place of the nominated proxy and vote in accordance with any instructions. Proxy appointments in favour of the Chair of the Meeting, the secretary or any Director that do not contain a direction how to vote will be used, where possible, to support each of the Resolutions proposed in this Notice of Meeting, provided they are entitled to cast votes as a proxy under the voting exclusion rules which apply to some of the proposed Resolutions. However, in exceptional circumstances, the Chair of the Meeting may change his voting intention, in which case an ASX announcement will be made.

  • To be effective, proxies must be received by 1.00 pm (AEDT time) on 28 November 2022. Proxies received after this time will be invalid.

  • Proxies may be lodged using any of the following methods:

This Explanatory Memorandum is intended to provide Shareholders with sufficient information to assess the merits of the Resolutions contained in the accompanying Notice of Meeting.

Certain abbreviations and other defined terms are used throughout this Explanatory Memorandum. 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 this Explanatory Memorandum.

1 Financial Reports

The first item of the Notice of Meeting deals with the presentation of the consolidated annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2022, together with the Directors' declaration and report in relation to that financial year and the Auditor's Report on the financial report. Shareholders should consider these documents and raise any matters of interest with the Directors when this item is being considered.

No resolution is required to be moved in respect of this item.

Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity at the Meeting to ask questions and make comments on the accounts and on the management of the Company.

The Chair will also give Shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask the Auditor or the Auditor’s representative questions relevant to:

  • (a) the conduct of the audit;

  • (b) the preparation and content of the independent audit report;

  • (c) the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the financial statements; and

  • (d) the independence of the Auditor by the Company in relation to the conduct of the audit.

The Chair will also allow a reasonable opportunity for the Auditor or their representative to answer any written questions submitted to the Auditor under section 250PA of the Corporations Act.

2 Resolution 1 – Non Binding Resolution to adopt Remuneration Report

Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires the Company to put to its Shareholders a resolution that the Remuneration Report as disclosed in the Annual Report be adopted. The Remuneration Report is set out in the Annual Report and is also available on the Company’s website (https://odinmetals.com.au).

The vote on this Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

However, if at least 25% of the votes cast are against adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put a resolution to the second annual general meeting ( Spill Resolution ), to approve calling a general meeting ( Spill Meeting ). If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must then convene a Spill Meeting within 90 days of the second annual general meeting. All of the Directors who were in office when the applicable Remuneration Report was approved, other than the Managing Director, will need to stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting if they wish to continue as Directors.

12

[9107839:35385470_9]

The remuneration report for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 did not receive a vote of more than 25% against its adoption at the Company’s last annual general meeting held on 30 November 2021. Accordingly, if at least 25% of the votes cast on this Resolution are against adoption of the Remuneration Report it will not result in the Company putting a Spill Resolution to Shareholders.

The Remuneration Report explains the Board policies in relation to the nature and level of remuneration paid to Directors, sets out remuneration details for each Director and any service agreements and sets out the details of any equity based compensation.

The Chair will give Shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report.

Voting

A voting exclusion applies to this Resolution in the terms set out in the Notice of Meeting.

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

  • 7 Resolution 6 – Ratification of prior issue of Shares and New Options to Penstock Group Pty Ltd ACN 139 933 841 (Penstock Group) under Listing Rule 7.1 capacity

Background and details of Placement

As announced on 21 October 2022, the Company is undertaking a placement of up to 152,777,778 Shares at an issue price of $0.018 per Share in two tranches ( Placement ):

  • (a) the first tranche of the Placement ( Tranche 1 ) comprises a total of 94,444,444 Shares which were issued on 27 October 2022 ( Tranche 1 Shares ) (together with 47,222,222 associated New Options) ( Tranche 1 New Options) ; and

  • (b) subject to Shareholder approval, the second tranche of the Placement ( Tranche 2 ) comprises a total of up to 58,333,334 Shares ( Tranche 2 Shares ) (with 29,166,667 associated New Options) ( Tranche 2 New Options ).

The $1,700,000 raised from the issue of the Tranche 1 Shares, and up to $1,050,000 expected to be raised via the proposed issue of the Tranche 2 Shares will be used to further accelerate exploration activities across the Koonenberry Copper Project, commencing with drilling at the Wertago Copper Prospect area which has been identified to have significant potential to develop future copper resources. Funds will also be used for drill testing of high priority new targets arising from recently completed geochemical surveys over Grasmere and Cymbric Vale EM anomalies.

On 27 October 2022, 24,048,709 Tranche 1 Shares and 12,024,354 Tranche 1 New Options were issued to Penstock Group ( Penstock Tranche 1 Shares and Options ).

Listing Rule 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 securities it had on issue at the start of that period ( 15% Placement Capacity ) unless an exception under Listing Rule 7.2 applies.

Tranche 1 of the Placement in general and the Penstock Tranche 1 Shares and Options in particular do not fit within any of these exceptions under Listing Rule 7.2 and, as the issue of the Penstock Tranche 1 Shares and Options has not yet been approved by the Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% Placement Capacity, 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 the Company issued the Tranche 1 Shares.

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a company to approve an issue of Equity Securities after it has been made or agreed to be made if the issue of Equity Securities did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time it was made. If shareholders do provide approval, 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 and therefore seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the issue of the Penstock Tranche 1 Shares and Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If this Resolution is passed, the Penstock Tranche 1 Shares and Options will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date the Company issued the Tranche 1 Shares.

If this Resolution is not passed, the Penstock Tranche 1 Shares and Options will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity, effectively decreasing the number of Equity

16

[9107839:35385470_9]

Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date the Company issued the Penstock Tranche 1 Shares and Options as part of the Placement.

Issue of Penstock Tranche 1 Shares and Options to Penstock Group

For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Penstock Group being issued with the Penstock Tranche 1 Shares and Options:

  • (a) the Penstock Tranche 1 Shares and Options were issued to Penstock Group which is an unrelated party of the Company. Penstock Group was selected at the discretion of the Company. As a result of the issue of the Penstock Tranche 1 Shares and Options, Penstock Group is the registered holder of Shares equalling 17.10% of the issued capital of the Company. If the issues of Shares contemplated by Resolutions 8 to 11 are approved by Shareholders at the Meeting and the relevant Shares are subsequently issued, the percentage of the issued Shares held by Penstock Group will reduce to 15.74%;

  • (b) the Penstock Group was issued 24,048,709 Shares and 12,024,354 associated New Options;

  • (c) the Shares issued to Penstock Group were fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the existing fully paid ordinary Shares on issue. The terms of the New Options are set out in Attachment 3;

  • (d) the Penstock Tranche 1 Shares and Options were issued on 27 October 2022; and

  • (e) the Tranche 1 Shares were issued to Penstock Group at an issue price of $0.018 each. The New Options were issued for no additional consideration.

Directors’ recommendation

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6. The Directors are not aware of any other information that would reasonably be required by the Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass this Resolution.

Voting

A voting exclusion applies to this Resolution in the terms set out in the Notice of Meeting.

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

The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 6.

8 Resolution 7 – Ratification of prior issue of Shares and New Options to SRA Investments Pty Ltd ACN 128 701 137 (SRA) under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A capacity

Background

On 26 October 2022, the Company issued 64,840,179 Shares and 32,420,090 associated New Options to SRA Investments Pty Ltd as part of Tranche 1 of the Placement referred to above ( SRA Tranche 1 Shares and Options ).

Of the SRA Tranche 1 Shares and Options:

  • (a) 16,080,719 Shares and 32,420,090 New Options were issued using the Company’s capacity to issue securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • (b) 48,759,460 Shares were issued using the Company’s capacity to issue securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A.

17

[9107839:35385470_9]

Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A

As set out above, the Company is required to comply with the 15% Placement Capacity unless an exception under Listing Rule 7.2 or Listing Rule 7.1A applies.

Listing Rule 7.1A further provides that, in addition to issues permitted without prior shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1, an entity that is eligible and obtains shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A may issue or agree to issue, during the period for which the approval is valid, a number of quoted equity securities which represents 10% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period as adjusted in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1 ( 10% Placement Capacity ).

The Company obtained the required Shareholder approval for a 10% Placement Capacity at the annual general meeting held on 30 November 2021, and has the capacity to issue additional securities under the 10% Placement Capacity until 30 November 2022 (or such earlier date as determined by the Listing Rules).

Tranche 1 of the Placement in general and the SRA Tranche 1 Shares and Options in particular do not fit within any of the exceptions under Listing Rule 7.2 and, as the issue of the SRA Tranche 1 Shares and Options has not yet been approved by the Company’s Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% Placement Capacity and part of the 10% Placement Capacity, 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 the Company issued the Tranche 1 Shares.

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a company to approve an issue of Equity Securities after it has been made or agreed to be made and if the issue of Equity Securities did not breach Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A at the time it was made. If shareholders do provide approval, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A and so does not reduce the company’s combined placement 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 Rules 7.1 and 7.1A and therefore seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the issue of the SRA Securities under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If this Resolution is passed, the SRA Tranche 1 Shares and Options will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity and 10% Placement Capacity, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date the Company issued the SRA Tranche 1 Shares and Options.

If this Resolution is not passed, the SRA Tranche 1 Shares and Options will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity and 10% Placement Capacity, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date the Company issued the SRA Tranche 1 Shares and Options as part of the Placement.

Issue of SRA Tranche 1 Shares and Options to SRA

For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to SRA being issued with the SRA Tranche 1 Shares and Options:

  • (a) the SRA Tranche 1 Shares and Options were issued to SRA which is an unrelated party of the Company. SRA was selected at the discretion of the Company. As a result of the issue of the SRA Tranche 1 Shares and Options, SRA is the registered holder of Shares equalling 9.58% of the issued capital of the Company. If the issues of Shares contemplated by Resolutions 9 to 12

18

[9107839:35385470_9]

are approved by Shareholders at the Meeting and the relevant Shares are subsequently issued, the percentage of the issued Shares held by SRA Investments will increase to 15.09%;

  • (b) SRA was issued 64,840,179 Shares and 32,420,089 associated New Options;

  • (c) the Tranche 1 Shares issued to SRA Investments were fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the existing fully paid ordinary Shares on issue. The terms of the New Options are set out in Attachment 3;

  • (d) the purpose of the issue of the SRA Tranche 1 Shares and Options is to raise capital. The funds raised from the issue of the SRA Tranche 1 Shares and Options will be applied towards the purposes of the Placement (as noted above in this Explanatory Memorandum in relation to Resolution 6);

  • (e) the SRA Tranche 1 Shares and Options were issued on 27 October 2022; and

  • (f) the Tranche 1 Shares were issued to SRA at an issue price of $0.018 each. The New Options were issued for no additional consideration.

Directors’ recommendation

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7. The Directors are not aware of any other information that would reasonably be required by the Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass this Resolution.

Voting

A voting exclusion applies to this Resolution in the terms set out in the Notice of Meeting.

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

The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 7.

  • 9 Resolution 8 – Issue of Shares and New Options to Mr Simon Peters (Director) (or his nominee(s))

Mr Simon Peters (or his nominee(s)) intends to participate in Tranche 2 of the Placement. Mr Peters intends to subscribe for, subject to Shareholder approval, up to 2,777,777 Tranche 2 Shares with 1,388,888 associated New Options ( Peters Tranche 2 Shares and Options ).

Mr Peters is the Executive Chairman of the Company (and therefore a related party for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.1). The issue of the Peters Tranche 2 Shares and Options to Mr Peters (or his nominee(s)) under Tranche 2 of the Placement therefore requires Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolution 8 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the proposed issue of up to 2,777,777 Tranche 2 Shares and 1,388,888 associated New Options to Mr Peters (or his nominee(s)) for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

Related Party Transactions Generally

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the public company unless either:

  • (a) the giving of the financial benefits falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provision; or

19

[9107839:35385470_9]

  • (b) Shareholder approval is obtained prior to the giving of the financial benefit and the benefit is given within 15 months after obtaining such approval.

For the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, Mr Peters is a related party of the Company. This Resolution relates to a proposed issued of Tranche 2 Shares to Mr Peters (or his nominee(s)), which is a financial benefit that requires Shareholder approval for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act.

Under section 208 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 or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members; 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.

Shareholder approval is not being sought for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act on the basis that the benefit is considered by the Board (in the absence of Mr Peters) to be on arms’ length terms and, therefore, the exception in section 210 of the Corporations Act applies. Section 210 provides that Shareholder approval is not required for the purposes of section 208 in circumstances where the benefit would be reasonable in the circumstances if the Company and the Director were dealing at arms’ length.

The Board considers (in the absence of Mr Peters) that the financial benefit conferred by the issue of the Peters Tranche 2 Shares and Options to Mr Peters (or his nominee(s)) is at arms’ length given the proposed issue will be on exactly the same terms as Tranche 1 of the Placement and Tranche 2 of the Placement (made to the unrelated sophisticated and professional investors), and therefore the exception in section 210 of the Corporations Act applies.

Information Requirements - Listing Rules 10.11 and 10.13

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, the Company must not issue or agree to issue Equity Securities to:

  • (a) a related party (Listing Rule 10.11.1);

  • (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 Company (Listing Rule 10.11.2);

  • (c) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the Company and who has nominated a Director to the Board pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so (Listing Rule 10.11.3);

  • (d) an Associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3 (Listing Rule 10.11.4); or

  • (e) a person whose relationship with the Company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by Shareholders (Listing Rule 10.11.5),

unless it obtains the approval of its Shareholders.

The proposed issue of the Peters Tranche 2 Shares and Options to Mr Peters (or his nominee(s)) pursuant to Tranche 2 of the Placement falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of

20

[9107839:35385470_9]

the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 and for all other purposes to allow Mr Peters, to participate in the proposed Tranche 2 of the Placement by permitting him or his nominee(s) to subscribe for up to 2,777,777 Tranche 2 Shares and 1,388,888 associated New Options. Mr Peters’ (or his nominee(s)’) participation will be on exactly the same terms as the Placement made to the unrelated sophisticated and professional parties.

If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Shares and New Options to Mr Peters (or his nominee(s)) and the Company will raise up to $50,000 from the issue of the Peters Tranche 2 Shares and Options to Mr Peters.

The impact of passing this Resolution on Mr Peters’ voting power in the Company, assuming he is issued all 2,777,777 of the Peters Tranche 2 Shares, is set out in the following table:

If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Shares or the Tranche 2 New Options to Mr Peters (or his nominee(s)) and the Company will not receive up to $50,000 (before costs) from the issue of the Peters Tranche 2 Shares and Options to him (or his nominee(s)).

A voting exclusion applies to this Resolution in the terms set out in the Notice of Meeting.

10 Resolution 9 – Issue of Shares and New Options to SRA

SRA intends to participate in Tranche 2 of the Placement. SRA intends to subscribe for, subject to Shareholder approval, up to 46,111,112 Tranche 2 Shares with 23,055,555 associated New Options ( SRA Tranche 2 Shares and Options ).

Resolution 9 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the proposed issue of the SRA Tranche 2 Shares and Options to SRA for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

Listing Rule 7.1

As mentioned above, 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 effect of Resolution 9 will be to allow the Company to issue the SRA Tranche 2 Shares and Options to SRA Investments during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity.

The proposed issue of the Tranche 2 Shares and Options does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 9 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the SRA Tranche 2 Shares and Options under the Placement to SRA Investments. In addition, the issue of the SRA Tranche 2 Shares and Options will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

22

[9107839:35385470_9]

If Resolution 9 is not passed (and Resolutions 6 and 7 are also not passed), the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Shares and Tranche 2 Options to SRA and the Company may need to seek an alternative means of raising capital.

If Resolution 9 is not passed (but Resolutions 6 and 7 are passed), the Company may be able to proceed with the issue of the SRA Tranche 2 Shares and Options using its available capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 but this will reduce the flexibility to issue additional Equity Securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.

Issue of the SRA Tranche 2 Shares and Options to SRA

For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the SRA Tranche 2 Shares and Options to SRA:

  • (a) SRA Investments will be allotted and issued with 46,111,112 Shares and 23,055,555 associated New Options;

  • (b) the issue price of the Tranche 2 Shares is $0.018 per Tranche 2 Share. The New Options will be issued for no additional consideration;

  • (c) the Tranche 2 Shares to be issued to SRA are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the existing fully paid ordinary Shares on issue. The terms of the New Options are contained in Attachment 3;

  • (d) SRA will be allotted and issued the SRA Tranche 2 Shares as soon as practicable after the Meeting, subject to Shareholder approval, and, otherwise, no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting;

  • (e) the purpose of the issue of the SRA Tranche 2 Shares and Options is to raise capital. The funds raised from this issue of the SRA Tranche 2 Shares and Options will be applied towards the purposes of the Placement (as noted above in this Explanatory Memorandum in relation to Resolution 6);

  • (f) the SRA Tranche 2 Shares and Options are not being issued under, or to fund, a reverse takeover; and

  • (g) the SRA Tranche 2 Shares and Options not being issued under an agreement.

Board recommendation

The Directors of the Company believe this Resolution is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders and unanimously recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

Voting

A voting exclusion applies to this Resolution in the terms set out in the Notice of Meeting.

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

11 Resolution 10 – Issue of Shares and New Options to Mr Alan David Forsyth Till (or his nominee(s))

Mr Till intends to participate in Tranche 2 of the Placement. Mr Till intends to subscribe for, subject to Shareholder approval, up to 1,111,111 Tranche 2 Shares with 555,556 associated New Options ( Till Tranche 2 Shares and Options ).

23

[9107839:35385470_9]

This Resolution seeks the required Shareholder approval for the proposed issue of the Till Tranche 2 Shares and Options to Mr Till for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

Listing Rule 7.1

As mentioned above, 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 effect of Resolution 10 will be to allow the Company to issue the Tranche 2 Shares and Options to Mr Till during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity.

The proposed issue of the Till Tranche 2 Shares and Options does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 10 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Till Tranche 2 Shares and Options under the Placement to Mr Till. In addition, the issue of the Till Tranche 2 Shares and Options will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 10 is not passed (and Resolutions 6 and 7 are also not passed), the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Till Tranche 2 Shares and Options to Mr Till and the Company may need to seek an alternative means of raising capital.

If Resolution 10 is not passed (but Resolutions 6 and 7 are passed), the Company may be able to proceed with the issue of the Till Tranche 2 Shares and Options using its available capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 but this will reduce the flexibility to issue additional Equity Securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.

12 Resolution 11 – Issue of Shares and Options to Sunset Capital Management Pty Ltd ACN 618 789 736

Sunset Capital intends to subscribe for, subject to Shareholder approval, up to 8,333,334 Tranche 2 Shares with 4,166,667 associated New Options ( Sunset Capital Tranche 2 Shares and Options ).

This Resolution seeks the required Shareholder approval for the proposed issue of the Sunset Capital Tranche 2 Shares and Options to Sunset Capital for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

Listing Rule 7.1

13 Resolution 12 – Granting of Options to Mr Simon Peters under the Incentive Option Plan

Approval of the grant of Incentive Options under the Incentive Option Plan to Mr Simon Peters

As announced to the ASX on 1 September 2022, it was proposed that Mr Peters (or his nominee) be issued with 5,000,000 Incentive Options under the Incentive Option Plan subject to Shareholder approval. Approval is being sought at this Meeting.

The Company is proposing to grant and issue 5,000,000 Incentive Options to the Director and Executive Chairman of the Company, Mr Peters (or his nominee), under the terms and conditions of the Incentive Option Plan ( Proposed Peters Issue ).

26

[9107839:35385470_9]

Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a listed company must not permit a director, an associate of the director or certain other persons to acquire Equity Securities under an employee incentive scheme unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders. The Proposed Peters Issue falls within Listing Rule 10.14 and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders.

The Board considers that the issue of Incentive Options to Mr Peters (or his nominee) under the Incentive Option Plan is in the Company’s interests as it further aligns the interests of Mr Peters with the interests of Shareholders in order to maximise Shareholder value. Further, the issue of the Incentive Options provides cost effective remuneration to Mr Peters in his role as Director, is designed to recognise and reward Mr Peters’ contribution to the success of the Company, and (by being dependent on continuity of employment) is designed to promote long term retention and encourage long term share ownership.

The Board having considered the Proposed Peters Issue (and, taking into account the circumstances of the Company, the circumstances of the Directors, and the remuneration practices of other similar entities) considers that the financial benefits provided to Mr Peters by way of the Incentive Options (together with the other elements of his remuneration package) constitute reasonable remuneration. Accordingly, approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not being sought.

If Resolution 12 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the Proposed Peters Issue and grant 5,000,000 Incentive Options to Mr Peters or his nominee. If Resolution 12 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the Proposed Peters Issue and the Board will consider an alternative remuneration structure for Mr Peters.

The following information is provided in accordance with Listing Rule 10.15 (which sets out the information that must be provided to Shareholders in order to obtain Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14):

  • (a) the person for whom approval is being sought is Mr Simon Peters, the Director and Executive Chair of the Company (or his nominee). It is proposed that 5,000,000 Incentive Options be issued to Mr Peters (or his nominee);

  • (b) Mr Peters, being a director of the Company, falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1. His nominee (if applicable) would fall within Listing Rule 10.14.2 as an associate of Mr Peters;

  • (c) Mr Peters’ current total remuneration package is:

  • (i) $120,000 per annum in fees (including superannuation contributions); and

  • (ii) the Proposed Peters Issue;

  • (d) Mr Peters has not previously been issued any Options under the Incentive Option Plan;

  • (e) a summary of the material details of the Incentive Options to be issued under the Incentive Option Plan are set out below;

  • (f) the Incentive Options are being used as an incentive and retention mechanism for Mr Peters, to link remuneration to performance, and to provide cost effective remuneration for Mr Peters. Options provide greater alignment with Shareholders’ interests by enabling Mr Peters to acquire Shares provided that vesting conditions outlined below are satisfied;

  • (g) the value the Company attributes to the Incentive Options the subject of the Proposed Peters Issue is $139,515 (using an accepted method of calculating the value of options);

  • (h) it is proposed that Mr Peters (or his nominee) be issued the Incentive Options as soon as practicable after the Meeting, subject to Shareholder approval, and, in any event, not later than 3 years after the date of the Meeting;

27

[9107839:35385470_9]

  • (i) the Incentive Options will be issued to Mr Peters (or his nominee) for nominal cash consideration of $1.00 (in line with the terms of the Incentive Option Plan), and as part of his remuneration package. No material amounts will be received by the Company in connection with the issue of the Incentive Options. Each Incentive Option has an exercise price of $0.0001 per Incentive Option;

  • (j) no loan will be provided in relation to the acquisition of the Incentive Options;

  • (k) details of any Options issued under the Incentive Option Plan will be published in the annual report of the Company relating to the period in which they were issued, along with a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under Listing Rule 10.14; and

  • (l) any additional persons covered by Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in an issue of Options under the Incentive Option Plan after the resolution is approved and who were not named in the Notice of Meeting will not participate until approval is obtained under that rule. A voting exclusion statement in respect of Resolution 12 is set out in the Notice of Meeting.

Summary of key terms of the Incentive Options

A copy of the Incentive Option Plan is attached as Attachment 2 to this Explanatory Memorandum.

The purpose of the Company’s Incentive Option Plan is to retain and reward key employees in a manner aligned to the creation of shareholder wealth. The Board may offer Options under the Incentive Option Plan to “Eligible Participants” having regard to the length of service, the contribution they have made to the Company and any other matter the Board considers relevant.

Nominal consideration is payable for Options issued under the Incentive Option Plan, however an offer of Options may set out vesting or performance conditions that apply to any exercise of Options. Each Option the subject of the Proposed Peters’ Issue will entitle the holder to subscribe for one fully paid ordinary Share in the Company for an exercise price of $0.0001 per Option.

The Incentive Options expire on 1 September 2024 and in accordance with the terms of the offer and the rules of the Incentive Option Plan, are subject to the financial performance of the Company during the period preceding this date ( Option Vesting Period ). The Incentive Options will vest as follows:

Percentage of
Options issued that
vest
Vesting condition
50% The volume weighted average price of the Shares is at least $0.08 for 20
consecutive Trading days.
50% The volume weighted average price of the Shares is at least $0.12 for 20
consecutive Trading days.

At the end of the Option Vesting Period, any Options remaining that are not capable of exercise, as a result of the vesting conditions not being achieved, will be forfeited. All Options not exercised will lapse on the expiry date for those Options, or upon the holder ceasing to be an Eligible Participant and the Option not being exercised within 1 month of that date or a determination by the Board in certain cases of breach. Upon exercise, each Option will result in the issue or transfer to the Option holder of one fully paid ordinary share in the Company at the exercise price.

As the Incentive Options will be issued for nominal consideration, no funds will be raised from the issue of the Options. Any funds raised on exercise of the Incentive Options will be used for working capital purposes.

28

[9107839:35385470_9]

The Board, in its absolute discretion, may waive the vesting conditions if the holder ceases to be an Eligible Participant due to total and permanent disablement, death, economic hardship, retirement, redundancy or any other circumstances stated to constitute “Special Circumstances”; if there is a takeover bid (that is declared unconditional and the bidder has acquired a relevant interest of at least 50.1% of the Company); or a scheme of arrangement is approved by a court; or a person obtains voting power in the Company which the Board determines is sufficient to control the composition of the Board.

Options issued under the Incentive Option Plan may not be transferred and will not be quoted on the ASX. An Option carries no right to a dividend and no right to a vote.

If there is a reorganisation of the issued capital of the Company, the rights of an Option holder will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules.

Directors’ recommendation

The Board (with the exception of Mr Peters who abstains, given his interest in the Resolution) acknowledges the contribution that Mr Peters has made and will continue to make to the Company, and therefore recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 12.

Voting

A voting exclusion applies to this Resolution in the terms set out in the Notice of Meeting.

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

The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 12.

Summary of key terms of the Incentive Option Plan and the Incentive Options

A copy of the Incentive Option Plan is attached as Attachment 2 to this Explanatory Memorandum.

The purpose of the Company’s Incentive Option Plan is to retain and reward key employees in a manner aligned to the creation of shareholder wealth. The Board may offer Options under the Incentive Option Plan to “Eligible Participants” having regard to the length of service, the contribution they have made to the Company and any other matter the Board considers relevant.

Nominal consideration is payable for Options issued under the Incentive Option Plan, however an offer of Options may set out vesting or performance conditions that apply to any exercise of Options. Each Option the subject of the Proposed Buerger Issue will entitle the holder to subscribe for one fully paid ordinary Share in the Company for an exercise price of $0.0001 per Option.

The Incentive Options expire on 1 September 2024 and in accordance with the terms of the offer and the rules of the Incentive Option Plan, are subject to the financial performance of the Company during the period preceding this date ( Option Vesting Period ). The Incentive Options will vest as follows:

Percentage of
Options issued that
vest
Vesting condition
50% The volume weighted average price of the Shares is at least $0.08 for 20
consecutive Trading days.
50% The volume weighted average price of the Shares is at least $0.12 for 20
consecutive Trading days.

At the end of the Option Vesting Period, any Options remaining that are not capable of exercise, as a result of the vesting conditions not being achieved, will be forfeited. All Options not exercised will lapse on the expiry date for those Options, or upon the holder ceasing to be an Eligible Participant and the Option not being exercised within 1 month of that date or a determination by the Board in certain cases of breach. Upon exercise, each Option will result in the issue or transfer to the Option holder of one fully paid ordinary share in the Company at the exercise price.

Options may be exercised by payment of the nominal amount in cash. All Shares issued under the Incentive Option Plan will rank equally in all respects with the Shares of the same class and the holder will be entitled to dividends and to exercise voting rights attached to the Shares.

The Board, in its absolute discretion, may waive the vesting conditions if the holder ceases to be an Eligible Participant due to total and permanent disablement, death, economic hardship, retirement, redundancy or any other circumstances stated to constitute “Special Circumstances”; if there is a takeover bid (that is declared unconditional and the bidder has acquired a relevant interest of at least 50.1% of the Company); or a scheme of arrangement is approved by a court; or a person obtains voting power in the Company which the Board determines is sufficient to control the composition of the Board.

As the Incentive Options will be issued for nominal consideration, no funds will be raised from the issue of the Incentive Options. Any funds raised on exercise of the Incentive Options will be used for working capital purposes.

31

[9107839:35385470_9]

Options issued under the Incentive Option Plan may not be transferred and will not be quoted on the ASX. An Option carries no right to a dividend and no right to a vote.

If there is a reorganisation of the issued capital of the Company, the rights of an Option holder will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules.

Directors’ recommendation

The Board (with the exception of Mr Buerger who abstains, given his interest in the Resolution) acknowledges the contribution that Mr Buerger has made and will continue to make to the Company, and therefore recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 13.

As announced to the ASX on 20 September 2022, it was proposed that Mr Merino (or his nominee) be issued with 3,500,000 Incentive Options under the Incentive Option Plan subject to Shareholder approval. Approval is being sought at this Meeting.

The Company is proposing to grant and issue 3,500,000 Incentive Options to a Director of the Company, Mr Merino (or his nominee), under the terms and conditions of the Incentive Option Plan ( Proposed Merino Issue ).

Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a listed company must not permit a director, an associate of the director or certain other persons to acquire Equity Securities under an employee incentive scheme unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders. The Proposed Merino Issue falls within Listing Rule 10.14 and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders.

The Board considers that the issue of Incentive Options to Mr Merino (or his nominee) under the Incentive Option Plan is in the Company’s interests as it further aligns the interests of Mr Merino with the interests of Shareholders in order to maximise Shareholder value. Further, the issue of the Incentive Options provides cost effective remuneration to Mr Merino in his role as Director, is designed to recognise and reward Mr Merino’s contribution to the success of the Company, and (by being dependent on continuity of employment) is designed to promote long term retention and encourage long term share ownership.

The Board having considered the Proposed Merino Issue (and, taking into account the circumstances of the Company, the circumstances of the Directors, and the remuneration practices of other similar entities) considers that the financial benefits provided to Mr Merino by way of the Incentive Options (together with the other elements of his remuneration package) constitute reasonable remuneration. Accordingly, approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not being sought.

If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the Proposed Merino Issue and grant 3,500,000 Incentive Options to Mr Merino or his nominee. If Resolution 14 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the Proposed Merino Issue and the Board will consider an alternative remuneration structure for Mr Merino.

Summary of key terms of the Incentive Option Plan and the Incentive Options

A copy of the Incentive Option Plan is attached as Attachment 2 to this Explanatory Memorandum.

The purpose of the Company’s Incentive Option Plan is to retain and reward key employees in a manner aligned to the creation of shareholder wealth. The Board may offer Options under the

33

[9107839:35385470_9]

Incentive Option Plan to “Eligible Participants” having regard to the length of service, the contribution they have made to the Company and any other matter the Board considers relevant.

Nominal consideration is payable for Options issued under the Incentive Option Plan, however an offer of Options may set out vesting or performance conditions that apply to any exercise of Options. Each Option the subject of the Proposed Merino Issue will entitle the holder to subscribe for one fully paid ordinary share in the Company for an exercise price of $0.0001 per Option.

The Incentive Options expire on 1 September 2024 and in accordance with the terms of the offer and the rules of the Incentive Option Plan, are subject to the financial performance of the Company during the period preceding this date ( Option Vesting Period ). The Options will vest as follows:

Percentage of
Options issued that
vest
Vesting condition
50% The volume weighted average price of the Shares is at least $0.08 for 20
consecutive Trading days.
50% The volume weighted average price of the Shares is at least $0.12 for 20
consecutive Trading days.

At the end of the Option Vesting Period, any Options remaining that are not capable of exercise, as a result of the vesting conditions not being achieved, will be forfeited. All Options not exercised will lapse on the expiry date for those Options, or upon the holder ceasing to be an Eligible Participant and the Option not being exercised within 1 month of that date or a determination by the Board in certain cases of breach. Upon exercise, each Option will result in the issue or transfer to the Option holder of one fully paid ordinary share in the Company at the exercise price.

Options may be exercised by payment of the nominal amount in cash. All Shares issued under the Incentive Option Plan will rank equally in all respects with the Shares of the same class and the holder will be entitled to dividends and to exercise voting rights attached to the Shares.

The Board, in its absolute discretion, may waive the vesting conditions if the holder ceases to be an Eligible Participant due to total and permanent disablement, death, economic hardship, retirement, redundancy or any other circumstances stated to constitute “Special Circumstances”; if there is a takeover bid (that is declared unconditional and the bidder has acquired a relevant interest of at least 50.1% of the Company); or a scheme of arrangement is approved by a court; or a person obtains voting power in the Company which the Board determines is sufficient to control the composition of the Board.

As the Incentive Options will be issued for nominal consideration, no funds will be raised from the issue of the Options. Any funds raised on exercise of the Incentive Options will be used for working capital purposes.

Options issued under the Incentive Option Plan may not be transferred and will not be quoted on the ASX. An Option carries no right to a dividend and no right to a vote.

If there is a reorganisation of the issued capital of the Company, the rights of an Option holder will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules.

16 Resolution 15 – Issue of performance Shares to Mr Alan David Forsyth Till

On 10 August 2022, the Company announced to ASX that it proposed to issue 2 million Performance Shares to Alan Till, the Company’s Exploration Manager, subject to Shareholder approval.

As mentioned above, 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 effect of Resolution 15 will be to allow the Company to issue the Performance Shares to Mr Till during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity.

The proposed issue of the Performance Shares does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 15 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Performance Shares to Mr Till. In addition, the issue of Performance Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

If this Resolution is not passed, the Board will need to consider alternative remuneration arrangements which are consistent with the Company’s remuneration principles, while maintaining the competitiveness of Mr Till’s remuneration.

Summary of Terms of Performance Shares

The Performance Shares will be issued in 2 tranches:

  • (a) Tranche A Performance Shares which will vest if the volume weighted average price of the Shares is at least $0.04 for 20 consecutive Trading days ( Tranche A Vesting Condition ); and

  • (b) Tranche B Performance Shares which will vest if he volume weighted average price of the Shares is at least $0.06 for 20 consecutive Trading days ( Tranche B Vesting Condition ).

If the Tranche A Vesting Condition or the Tranche B Vesting Condition are not satisfied by a date which is 24 months after the date of issue of the relevant Performance Shares, the relevant Performance Shares will not vest.

Until the Performance Shares vest in accordance with their terms, the Performance Shares will not be entitled to vote at any general meeting of the Company and will not participate in any dividends or capital distributions by the Company.

35

[9107839:35385470_9]

Issue of the performance Shares to Mr Alan David Forsyth Till

For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of Performance Shares to Mr Till:

  • (a) the maximum number of Performance Shares to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1 is 2,000,000;

  • (b) The Company will not receive any consideration for the issue of the Performance Shares;

  • (c) the terms of the Performance Shares are described above;

  • (d) the announcement of the Performance Shares contemplated that 500,000 Performance Shares would be issued immediately with the balance being issued at the completion of 6 months service by Mr Till. Given the elapse of time between the announcement and the AGM, it is proposed that, subject to Shareholder approval, all of the Performance Shares will be issued to Mr Till as soon as practicable after the Meeting and, in any event, by no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting;

  • (e) the purpose of the issue of the Performance Shares is to retain and reward Mr Till as a key employee in a manner aligned to the creation of Shareholder wealth;

  • (f) the Performance Shares are not being issued under, or to fund, a reverse takeover;

  • (g) the Performance Shares were not issued under an agreement; and

  • (h) a voting exclusion statement for this Resolution is set out in the Notice.

Board recommendation

The Directors of the Company believe this Resolution is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders and unanimously recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

17 Resolution 16 – Approval of Additional 10% Placement Capacity

Background

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 that period.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A, however, 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% ( Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate ).

An ‘eligible entity’ means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and which has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes.

36

[9107839:35385470_9]

This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval.

If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.

If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% 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.

The number of Equity Securities which may be issued pursuant to the Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate

Based on the number of Shares on issue at the date of this Notice of Meeting, the Company will have 676,788,779 Shares on issue and therefore, subject to Shareholder approval being obtained under this Resolution, 67,678,878 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 Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate is a moving calculation and will be based on the formula set out in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 at the time of issue of the Equity Securities. That formula is:

(A x D) – E

  • A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months immediately preceding the date of issue or agreement ( Relevant Period ):

  • (a) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the Relevant Period under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17;

    • (i) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the Relevant Period on the conversion of convertible securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:

    • (ii) the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or

    • (iii) the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4;

  • (b) plus the number of Shares issued in the Relevant Period under an agreement to issue securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where:

    • (i) the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the Relevant Period; or

    • (ii) the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4;

  • (c) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the Relevant Period with approval of holders of Shares under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4;

  • (d) plus the number of party paid Shares that become fully paid in the Relevant Period;

  • (e) less the number of fully paid Shares cancelled in the Relevant Period.

Note that ‘A’ has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.

37 [9107839:35385470_9]

  • D is 10%

  • E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the Relevant Period where the issue or agreement to issue has not been subsequently approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.4.

Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

  • (a) If the Resolution is passed, the Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate will be valid during the period 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 on which the Company receives approval by Shareholders for 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) ( Approval Period ).

  • (b) The Equity Securities to be issued will be in an existing class of quoted securities and will be issued for cash consideration at an issue price per Equity Security of not less than 75% of the volume weighted average price for the Company's Equity Securities over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in the 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 Company and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within ten Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

  • (c) the Shares may be issued to fund:

  • (i) the Company’s exploration activities;

  • (ii) the acquisition of new assets (should suitable assets be found);

  • (iii) administration costs; and

  • (iv) general working capital expenses.

  • (d) If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate, 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 the Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate was approved; 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 or the Equity Securities.

The table below demonstrates the potential dilution of existing Shareholders in three differing scenarios.

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.

  • (e) The identity of the persons to whom Shares will be issued is not yet known and will be determined on a case by case basis having regard to market conditions at the time of the proposed issue of Equity Securities and the Company’s allocation policy, which involves consideration of matters including, but not limited to:

39

[9107839:35385470_9]

7.3 Withholding

If a Participant is liable for tax, duties or other amounts on the vesting or exercise of their Options, and the Company is liable to make a payment to the appropriate authorities on account of that liability, unless the Participant and the Company agree otherwise, the Company must issue and sell such number of Shares which would otherwise be issued and allocated to the Participant so that the net proceeds of sale equal the payment the Company is required to pay to the appropriate authorities.
