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 accompanying 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 more than one proxy is appointed and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder's votes each proxy may exercise, the votes will be divided equally among the proxies (i.e. where there are two proxies, 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.
-
Should any resolution, other than those specified in this Notice, be proposed at the Meeting, a proxy may vote on that resolution 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, provided they are entitled to cast votes as a proxy under the voting exclusion rules which apply to some of the proposed Resolutions. These rules are explained in this Notice.
-
To be effective, proxies must be received by 9.00am (AWST time) on Wednesday, 28 September 2022. Proxies received after this time will be invalid.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
This Explanatory Memorandum is intended to provide Shareholders with sufficient information to assess the merits of the Resolutions contained in the accompanying Notice of General Meeting of the Company.
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 the Explanatory Memorandum.
4 Resolution 1 – Ratification of issue of Tranche 1A Placement Shares to sophisticated and professional investors under Listing Rule 7.1 capacity
As announced on 10 August 2022, the Company is undertaking a placement of up to 130,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.012 per Share in two tranches ( Placement ):
==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
- the first tranche of the Placement ( Tranche 1 ) comprises a total of 116,000,000 Shares which issued on 12 August 2022 ( Tranche 1 Shares ); and
==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
- subject to Shareholder approval, the second tranche of the Placement ( Tranche 2 ) comprises a total of up to 14,000,000 Shares, proposed to be issued to Mr Jason Bontempo (or his nominee(s)) ( Tranche 2 Shares ).
The Tranche 1 Shares comprise two sub-tranches: 69,951,650 Shares were issued under the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1 capacity ( Tranche 1A Shares ) and the balance (46,048,350) were issued under the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1A capacity ( Tranche 1B Shares ). This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval in relation to the Tranche 1A Placement Shares.
The $1,392,000 (before costs) raised from the issue of the Tranche 1 Shares, and up to $168,000 (before costs) expected to be raised via the proposed issue of the Tranche 2 Shares will be used to accelerate exploration activities across the Company’s 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. The 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.
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.
Tranche 1A of the Placement does not fit within any of these exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by the Company’s Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date the Company issued the Tranche 1A 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 they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1 and
6
therefore seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the issue of Tranche 1A Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
If this Resolution is passed, the Tranche 1A Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, 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 1A Shares.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Tranche 1A Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, 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 Tranche 1A Shares pursuant to Tranche 1 of the Placement.
The following information in relation to the Tranche 1A Shares is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5:
==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
- the Tranche 1A Shares were issued to sophisticated and professional investors all of whom are unrelated parties of the Company. The placees were selected at the discretion of the Company. In accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that no related parties of the Company, members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company or an Associate of any of these parties were issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;
==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
- 69,951,650 Tranche 1A Shares were issued;
==> picture [12 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
- the Tranche 1A Shares 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;
==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
- the Tranche 1A Shares were issued on 12 August 2022; and
==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
-
the Tranche 1A Shares were issued at an issue price of $0.012 each.
-
5 Resolution 2 – Ratification of issue of Tranche 1B Shares to sophisticated and professional investors under Listing Rule 7.1A capacity
As noted above, on 12 August 2022, the Company issued the Tranche 1 Shares.
The Tranche 1 Shares comprised two sub-tranches: Tranche 1A Shares and Tranche 1B Shares. This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval in relation to the Tranche 1B Shares.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase the 15% limit (allowed under Listing Rule 7.1, as noted above) by an extra 10% to 25%. Shareholders approved this additional capacity at the Company’s last annual general meeting.
As Tranche 1B has not yet been approved by the Company’s Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A for the period ending on the earliest of:
-
the date that is 12 months after the last annual general meeting at which the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate was approved;
-
the time and date of the next annual general meeting; and
-
the time and date on which Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (for a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking),
7
(Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate Expiry Date).
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 they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1A 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 into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1A and therefore seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the issue of the Tranche 1B Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
If this Resolution is passed, the Tranche 1B Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A for the period ending on the Listing 7.1A Mandate Expiry Date.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Tranche 1B Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A for the periods noted immediately above.
The following information in relation to the Tranche 1B Shares is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5:
==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
- the Tranche 1B Shares were issued to sophisticated and professional investors all of whom are unrelated parties of the Company. The placees were selected at the discretion of the Company. In accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that no related parties of the Company, members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company or an Associate of any of these parties were issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;
==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
- 46,048,350 Tranche 1B Shares were issued;
==> picture [12 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
- the Tranche 1B Shares 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;
==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
- the Tranche 1B Shares were issued on 12 August 2022; and
==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
- the Tranche 1B Shares were issued at an issue price of $0.012 each.
6 Resolution 3 – Issue of Shares to Mr Jason Bontempo (Director) (or his nominee(s))
As set out above, the Company is conducting a Placement of up to 130,000,000 Shares.
Mr Jason Bontempo (or his nominee(s)) intend to participate in Tranche 2 of the Placement. Mr Jason Bontempo intends to subscribe for, subject to Shareholder approval, up to 14,000,000 Tranche 2 Shares.
Mr Jason Bontempo is a Director of the Company (and therefore a related party for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.1). The issue of the Tranche 2 Shares to Mr Jason Bontempo (or his nominee(s)) under Tranche 2 of the Placement therefore requires Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11.
This Resolution seeks the required Shareholder approval for the proposed issue of up to 14,000,000 Tranche 2 Shares to Mr Jason Bontempo (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:
==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
- the giving of the financial benefits falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provision; or
==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
- 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 Jason Bontempo is a related party of the Company. This Resolution relates to a proposed issued of Tranche 2 Shares to Mr Jason Bontempo (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:
==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
- obtain the approval of the public company’s members; and
==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
- 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 Jason Bontempo) 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 Jason Bontempo) that the financial benefit conferred by the issue of Shares to Mr Jason Bontempo (or his nominee(s)) is at arms’ length given the proposed issue will be on exactly the same terms as the Placement made to the unrelated sophisticated and professional placees, and therefore the exception in section 210 applies.
Directors’ recommendation
The Directors (in the absence of Mr Jason Bontempo) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution. The Directors (in the absence of Mr Jason Bontempo) 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.
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 related party (Listing Rule 10.11.1);
-
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);
-
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
9
pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so (Listing Rule 10.11.3);
-
an Associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3 (Listing Rule 10.11.4); or
-
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 Tranche 2 Shares to Mr Jason Bontempo (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 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 Jason Bontempo, to participate in the proposed Placement by permitting him or his nominee(s) to subscribe for up to 14,000,000 Tranche 2 Shares. Mr Jason Bontempo’s (or his nominee(s)’) participation will be on exactly the same terms as the Tranche 1 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 to Mr Jason Bontempo (or his nominee(s)) and the Company will raise up to $168,000 from the issue of the Tranche 2 Shares to Mr Jason Bontempo.
The impact of passing this Resolution on Mr Jason Bontempo’s voting power in the Company, assuming he is issued all 14,000,000 Tranche 2 Shares is set out in the following table:
| Number of Shares | Number of Options | Percentage voting power in the Company on an undiluted basis1 (Total issued share capital of the Company is 596,344,335) |
Percentage voting power in the Company on a fully diluted basis2 (Total issued share capital of the Company is 666,719,335) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 17,333,333 | 0 | 2.91% | 2.60% |
If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Shares to Mr Jason Bontempo (or his nominee(s)) and the Company will not receive up to $168,000 (before costs) from the issue of the Tranche 2 Shares to him (or his nominee(s)).
The following further information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.13:
==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
- the Tranche 2 Shares will be issued to Mr Jason Bontempo (or his nominee(s)), as noted above;

2 Assumes all Equity Securities (as defined in the Listing Rules) the subject of all Resolutions are on issue (relevantly, only Resolution 3, given that the Tranche 1A and Tranche 1B Shares the subject of Resolutions 1 and 2 have already been issued), all options are exercised and no other Shares are issued.
