EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement is included in and forms part of the Notice of Meeting. It contains background information pertaining to the Resolutions to be considered at the Meeting as well as information required to be given to Shareholders under the Listing Rules in relation to the Resolutions.

It is given to Shareholders to help them determine how to vote on the Resolutions set out in the Notice of Meeting.

Shareholders should read this Explanatory Statement in full and in conjunction with the other sections of this Document, in order to gain a comprehensive understanding of the Resolutions proposed in the Notice of Meeting.

If you are in doubt about what to do in relation to a Resolution, you should consult your financial or other professional adviser.

1. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

1.1 Background

The Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2022 contains the Company’s Remuneration Report on pages 23 to 28. The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration policies and reports the remuneration arrangements in place for the Directors of the Company.

The Corporations Act requires the agenda for the Annual General Meeting of a listed company to include a resolution for the adoptions of the Remuneration Report. The Corporations Act expressly provides that the vote on the resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors of the Company.

Shareholders attending the Annual General Meeting will be given a reasonable opportunity to ask questions and comment on the Remuneration Report.

1.2 Voting Exclusion Statement

A description of the persons not permitted to vote on Resolution 1, and whose votes will be disregarded if cast on Resolution 1, is set out in the Notice.

2. RESOLUTION 2 – 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY

2.1 Requirement for Shareholder Approval under Listing Rule 7.1A

Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of their issued capital through placements over a 12-month period, following approval at its Annual General Meeting ( 10% Placement Capacity ). This 10% Placement is in addition to the 15% placement capacity that a Company may utilise according to Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company is an eligible entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of less than A$300 million.

The Company is seeking Shareholder approval to enable the Company to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity. The exact number of Shares that may be issued by the Company pursuant to this Resolution 2 will be determined in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.2.

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.

10

2.2 Required information under Listing Rule 7.3A

For the purpose of Listing Rule 7.3A, the Company gives the following details in relation to this Resolution 2:

(a) Formula for calculating the 10% Placement Capacity:

The number of Equity Securities which the Company may issue pursuant to this Resolution 2 in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.2 may be calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

Where:

A is the number of Shares on issue at the commencement of the relevant period,

  • (i) plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the previous in the relevant period under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17,

  • (ii) plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within rule 7.2 exception 9 where:

  • A. the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or

  • B. the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under rule 7.1 or rule 7.4,

  • (iii) plus the number of partly paid securities issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within rule 7.2 exception 16 where:

  • A. the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or

  • B. the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under rule 7.1 or 7.4,

  • (iv) plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period with approval of holders of shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4,

  • (v) plus the number of partly paid ordinary securities that became fully paid in the relevant period,

  • (vi) less the number of fully paid ordinary shares cancelled in the relevant period.

D is 10%

E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4.

In relation to the Company, “relevant period” means the 12 month period immediately preceding the date of issue or agreement.

(b) Issue price of securities

The minimum price at which Equity Securities are issued will not be less than 75% of the volume weighted average price of the Equity Securities in the same class, calculated or the 15 trading days on which trades were recorded immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the Equity Securities are issued or agreed to be issued 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.

11

(c) Risk of economic and voting dilution of ordinary securities holders

Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement will dilute the voting interests and may dilute the economic interests of Shareholders who do not receive Equity Securities under the issue.

The table below seeks to demonstrate the potential dilution of existing members from the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement calculated in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2. The table considers the current number of shares on issue, the effect of a change in the number of shares on issue, and a variation in the issue price of shares (noting that shares may only be issued at up to a 25% discount based on the volume weighted average price of the shares calculated over the 15 trading days preceding the issue.)

This tables makes the following assumptions:

  • (i) the current number of Shares on issue is the number of Shares on issue at as the date of this Notice;

  • (ii) the current issue price is the closing price of Shares on 4 October 2022;

  • (iii) the Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity;

  • (iv) the calculations above do not show the dilution that any one Shareholder will be subject to - all Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances; and

  • (v) this table does not consider any dilution which may occur subject to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

There is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities may be lower on the date of issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Annual General Meeting; and

  • (ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price which is at a discount to the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities on the issue date.

  • (d) Date approval will expire

The approval given pursuant to Resolution 2 will expire on the earlier of:

12

  • (i) The date that is 12 months after the date of the Meeting at which approval for this Resolution is obtained; or

  • (ii) The time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; or

  • (iii) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking) or such longer period if allowed by the ASX.

(e) Purpose

The Company may issue Equity Securities under its 10% Placement for various purposes including the following:

  • (i) progression of the Company’s Montague Gold Project (previously known as the Gidgee Project) and regional projects;

  • (ii) acquisition opportunities; and

  • (iii) general working capital purposes.

(f) Allocation policy

The allottees of the Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined, however, the Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity to current Shareholders or new investors or both. No recipients of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will be related parties of the Company.

The Company will determine who will receive Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity if and when it decides to utilise the 10% Placement Capacity, taking into consideration the following:

  • (i) the purpose of the issue;

  • (ii) alternative fund raising methods available;

  • (iii) the effect of the issue on the Company;

  • (iv) the circumstances of the Company, financial and otherwise;

  • (v) prevailing market conditions; and

  • (vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (as applicable).

(g) Prior approval

The Company confirms it has issued all the securities it had proposed to issue under Listing rule 7.1A.2 in the relevant period.

The 7.1A.2 Shares were issued to sophisticated and professional investors who were not related parties of the Company, Key Management Personnel, advisers of the Company, a substantial holder in the Company or any parties who held more than 1% of the Company’s issued capital at the time of issue, or any associate of these persons.

The participants in the placement were introduced by Enrizen Capital and JP Equities who acted as colead managers, or were prospective investors already known to the Company. The recipients were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved the lead managers seeking expressions of interest from Sophisticated Investors, professional and institutional investors to participate in the November 2021 placement.

5. RESOLUTION 5 – REPLACEMENT OF EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE PLAN

5.1 Background

At an extraordinary general meeting held by the Company in April 2021 ( 2021 EGM ), Shareholders approved the amendment of the Company’s Incentive Option Plan titled the “Gateway Mining Limited Incentive Plan”, which allowed the Board of the Company to issue Options in the Company to its directors, employees and consultants, with the intended effect that the objectives of employees are more closely aligned with the interests of the Company and the Shareholders, in addition to attracting, motivating and retaining valuable employees. At the time of such approval, the terms of the incentive scheme only related to the issue of Options.

15

The Company has resolved that, in order to continue to strengthen the alignment of interests between Company’s directors, officers, employees and consultants, the terms of the Incentive Scheme be replaced with a new incentive scheme titled the “Gateway Mining Limited Incentive Scheme” ( Incentive Scheme ) to provide more flexibility with respect to the types of awards and securities issued under the Incentive Scheme to eligible participants in the scheme.

Any Equity Securities issued under the Incentive Scheme to a related party or a person whose relationship with the Company or the related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained will require additional Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14.

5.2 Requirement for Shareholder Approval

Shareholder approval is not required by the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules for the establishment or operation of the Incentive Scheme.

Shareholder Approval for the Incentive Scheme was obtained at the 2021 EGM, however, given there has been material changes to the terms of the Incentive Scheme, Shareholder approval is being sought in accordance with the provisions of this Resolution, to allow the Company to rely on Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13. This Exception:

  • excludes any Equity Securities issued under an “employee incentive scheme” from being included in the Equity Securities that the Company would otherwise be required to include in determining whether it remains in compliance with the 15% Threshold; and

  • provides that a company is not required to obtain shareholder approval for an issue of Equity Securities under an “employee incentive scheme” provided that shareholders have approved the issue of securities under that scheme, as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1, no later than three years before the date of a proposed issue of any Equity Securities under that scheme.

If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the replacement of the Incentive Scheme.

If this Resolution is not passed, the Company may still replace the Incentive Scheme, however, it will not be able to rely on Listing Rule 7.2 exception 13 which will mean the issue of any securities in connection with the Incentive Scheme will utilise the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

5.3 Information required by Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13

For the purpose of Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13, the following information in relation to the Incentive Scheme the subject of this Resolution is provided:

  • (a) The terms of the Incentive Scheme

A summary of the terms and conditions of the Incentive Scheme is set out in Annexure B of this Document.

(b) The number of securities issued under the scheme since the date of the last approval

The Company has issued 33,000,000 Options (3,300,000 on a post consolidated basis) under the Incentive Scheme since the date of last approval of the Incentive Scheme.

(c) The maximum number of securities proposed to be issued under the Scheme following approval The number of Equity Securities to be issued under the Incentive Scheme will not exceed 20,000,000.

5.4 Voting Exclusion Statement

Particulars as to the persons not permitted to vote on this Resolution, and whose votes will be disregarded if cast on Resolution, are set out in the Notice.

The price payable for each Share that may be issued upon vesting of a Performance Right is nil.

  • (b) an associate of a director of the company; or

  • (c) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14.1 or 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

Shareholder approval is required under Listing Rule 10.14 in order to issue the Performance Rights under the Incentive Scheme to Mark Cossom a Director of the Company.

If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the proposed issue of Performance Rights to Mark Cossom under the Incentive Scheme.

If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the proposed issue of Performance Rights under the Incentive Scheme and may need to consider other methods (such as cash payments) to remunerate and incentivise Mark Cossom.

Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 exception 14, as Shareholder approval is being sought under Listing Rule 10.14 approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is not required.

In accordance with Section 208 of the Corporations Act, to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must obtain Shareholder approval unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The Company considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Performance Rights to Mark Cossom as the exception in section 211 of the Corporations Act applies.

ANNEXURE B – SUMMARY OF TERMS OF EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE SCHEME

A summary of the key terms of the Gateway Mining Limited Incentive Plan ( Plan ) is set out below:

1. Principle conditions

No Security may be offered or issued to a person under the Plan unless that person is at the time of the offer and the issue:

  • (a) An Eligible Person; or

  • (b) An Authorised Nominee; or the Plan Committee determines otherwise.

2. Eligibility

An Eligible Person means an Employee, Director, officer or other person or entity selected by the Plan Committee to be made an offer to participate in the Plan.

An Authorised Nominee means a person or entity who or that:

  • (a) has been nominated by an Eligible Person to be issued with and hold any Security offered or issued under, or otherwise contemplated by, the Plan; and

  • (b) is controlled by that Eligible Person at all times whilst that person or entity holds any such Security.

3. Purpose

The purpose of the Plan is to:

  • (a) provide Eligible Persons with an opportunity to share in the growth in value of the Securities;

  • (b) encourage Eligible Persons to improve the performance of the Group and its return to shareholders and holders of other Securities; and

  • (c) enable the Group to retain and attract skilled and experienced officers, employees and contractors and provide them with the motivation to enhance the success of the Group.

4. Administration

The Plan is administered by the Plan Committee. The Plan Committee has full powers of amendment, interpretation, termination, delegation with respect to the Plan, in accordance with the Rules.

No amendment of the provisions of the Rules may reduce the accrued or vested rights of any participant, unless the amendment is to comply with legal requirements, to correct error, to enable contributions paid by the Company under the Plan to be tax deductible or reduce fringe benefits tax, or for the purpose of enabling favourable tax treatment of participants.

5. Issue of securities

The Plan Committee may from time to time determine that the Company will offer Securities to an Eligible Person or to an Authorised Nominee. The Board or the Plan Committee must give to each Eligible Person or Authorised Nominee, a letter of offer and an application form to complete, sign and return to the Company, that includes the following information:

(a) either:

  • (i) the number of Securities to which the invitation relates; or

  • (ii) the basis on which the number of Securities to which the invitation relates is to be determined;

  • (b) in respect of each offered security that is an Option:

  • (i) the proposed date of issue of that Option;

  • (ii) the exercise price of that Option; and

  • (iii) either:

  • A. the Vesting Date and the expiry date in respect of that Option; or

  • B. the basis on which the Vesting Date and the expiry date of that Option are to be determined.

  • (c) in respect of each offered Security that is a Performance Right:

  • (i) the proposed date of issue of that Performance Right; and

  • (ii) either:

25

  • A. the Vesting Date in respect of the Performance Right; or

  • B. the basis on which the Vesting Date and the Expiry Date of that Option are to be determined;

  • (d) which, if any, Buyback Event will apply to each offered Security;

  • (e) whether a holding lock will apply to any Security issued upon the exercise of an Option or the conversion of a Performance Right, and if so:

  • (i) whether during such holding lock the relevant Eligible Person or his or her Authorised Nominee will be able to dispose of a percentage of the Shares, in one or more tranches; and

  • (ii) the period for which that holding lock will apply; and

  • (f) any other terms and conditions (including performance conditions where applicable) relating to the grant, exercise of any right of the Participant or the Company attaching to, or the issue of, a Security that, in the opinion of the Plan Committee, are fair and reasonable but not inconsistent with these rules.

6. Limit on Number of Securities

The number of Securities is as determined by the Plan Committee, in its absolute discretion. The Company must not offer to issue, or issue, any security that is a Share or capable of being converted into a Share if, at the time of the offer, the sum of the number of Shares in the same class:

  • (a) that would be issued if all outstanding offers, invitations, Options and Performance Rights granted or issued under the Plan and any other employee share plan of any member of the Group were exercised or converted; and

  • (b) issued under the Plan or issued under any other employee share and option plan of any member of any member of the Group during the period of three (3) years prior to the date of the Offer,

  • exceeds five per cent (5%) of the total number of issued Shares in that class.

7. Exercise Price

The exercise price payable upon the exercise of an Option will be such price as is selected by the Board or the Plan Committee. The exercise price must be denominated in Australian dollars, and is payable at the time and in the manner determined by the Plan Committee.

8. Becoming a Participant

On the issue of a Security to an Eligible Person, Authorised Nominee or a Legal Personal Representative of an Eligible Person or Authorised Nominee, that person becomes a Participant and is bound by the Plan Rules.

9. Certificates The Company must give a Participant one or more certificates stating, to the extent applicable, the number of Securities issued, the date of grant, the vesting date, the Vesting Conditions, the exercise price, the expiry date, the term of the holding lock (if any), the escrow arrangements (if any), and any other specific terms and conditions applicable.

10. Consideration for Security

The Consideration for a Security comprises the services that expected to be provided by the Eligible Person for the benefit of the Group. Unless otherwise stated, no further monetary or valuable consideration will be payable.

11. Entitlement to underlying Shares

Each Option confers on its holder the entitlement to subscribe for and be issued one fully paid Share at the relevant Exercise Price. Each Performance Right confers on its holder the entitlement to be issued one fully paid ordinary Share for no consideration.

12. No Quotation of Options and Performance Rights

The Company will not apply for the Official Quotation of any Options or Performance Rights.

13. Interest in Shares

A Participant has no interest in a Share the subject of an Option or of a Performance Right, unless and until the Share is issued to that Participant.

14. Vesting Conditions

The vesting of any Option or any Performance Rights held by the Participant is subject to the following conditions being satisfied or waived at the discretion of the Plan Committee:

  • (a) the Participant must have been, at all times, between and including both the date of grant of an Option or of a Performance Right, and the Vesting Date, either an Eligible Person, an Authorised Nominee or a Legal Personal Representative of one of these people; and

26

(b) any other conditions imposed in the Letter of Offer by the Plan Committee.

15. Vesting brought forward

If any Accelerated Vesting Event occurs while a Participant is employed by any member of the Group and before the Vesting Date, all Options or Performance Rights held by that Participant and that had not vested prior to the Accelerated Vesting Event, will immediately vest.

An Accelerated Vesting Event is either where an offer is made by a person to acquire all of the Shares that are not owned by the offeror, and after the announcement of that offer, the offeror acquires control of the company; or where a takeover bid or scheme of arrangement is recommended by the board.

16. Lapsing of Option or Performance Right

An Option or Performance Right will lapse on the commencement of the day immediately after the expiry date.

An Option or Performance Right will also lapse upon either a Participant, or any Eligible Person who nominated that Participant, ceasing to be an Employee, or a Buyback Event occurring in respect of the Participant. This is unless a Special Circumstances occurs (where a Participant suffers total and permanent disablement or death, is made redundant, or any other circumstances determined at the discretion of the Plan Committee) in relation to that Participant before the Vesting Date.

17. Non-Vesting or Non-Exercise of Options and Performance Rights If the Vesting Conditions applicable to Options or Performance Rights have not been satisfied before 5 p.m. on the Vesting Date then each of the Options and Performance Rights will be cancelled and of no further force or effect. The Plan Committee must give that Participant written confirmation of the occurrence of this.

18. Exercise of Options and Quotation of Shares An Option which has not lapsed may be exercised may be exercised by the Participant giving the Company a signed notice of exercise, the certificate of the Option and payment to the Company of an amount equal to the product of the number of Options being exercised and the exercise price in respect of those Options.

Within 10 days after the notice of exercise, the Company must issue the number of Shares specified, cancel each certificate for the Options, and if applicable issue a new certificate for each of the number of Shares issued and any remaining Options that are the subject of the certificate.

A Participant may only exercise Options in multiples of 1,000 or another multiple the Plan Committee determines, unless the Participant exercise all Options they hold. The Company must apply for Official Quotation of the Shares issued at exercise of the Option. Every Share issued on exercise will rank pari passu in all respects with all other Shares previously issued.

19. Issue and Conversion of Performance Rights

Upon a Participant accepting any Offer of Performance Rights, the Company will grant, for no consideration, that Participant the number of Performance Rights as set out in the letter of offer.

Performance Rights will vest on satisfaction of the Vesting Conditions including satisfaction of any Performance Conditions. Each Performance Right will converted into one share once vested.

20. Dealings with Securities

A Security held by a Participant may not be exercised by any other person. This is unless a Security which has vested is transferred in one of the following ways:

  • (a) a transfer following acceptance of an offer made under off-market bid relating to that Security;

  • (b) a transfer to a bidder on the sale of the Securities under Division 3 of Part 6A.1 of the Corporations Act;

  • (c) a transfer to a 100% holder (as that term is defined in section 665A(1) of the Corporations Act) on the sale of the Securities under Division 2 of Part 6A.2 of the Corporations Act;

  • (d) a transfer under Part 6A.3 of the Corporations Act to a person entitled to acquire the Securities under section 661A or section 664A of the Corporations Act;

  • (e) a transfer under a creditors’ scheme of arrangement relating to the Securities under section 411 of the

  • Corporations Act; or

  • (f) a transfer approved by the Plan Committee in circumstances as may be determined by the Plan Committee in its absolute discretion.

21. Buyback Event

Upon the occurrence of a Buyback Event specified in the provision of the applicable letter of offer, the Participant must dispose of the Securities as directed by the Company or Plan Committee and otherwise in accordance with the provision of that letter of offer.

27

22. Holding Lock

The Plan Committee may, when making an offer of Securities to an Eligible Person, specify that a holding lock will be applied to the Shares issued as a result of the exercise of any of those Securities. Upon acceptance of an Offer the relevant Eligible Person will be deemed to have agreed to the provisions of a holding lock.

For the duration of the holding lock period all Shares issued under the Plan will not be capable of being disposed of unless the Plan Committee specifies otherwise in the letter of offer. The Participant who holds those Shares may not create any security interest in respect of those shares (unless in favour of the Company or agreed to by the Plan Committee) during the holding lock period.

23. New Issues

A Participant is only entitled to participate (in respect of an Option or Performance Right granted under the Plan) in a new issue of Shares to existing Shareholders generally if:

  • (a) the Participant has validly exercised his or her Options within the relevant exercise period or the Performance Right has been converted; and

(b) become a Shareholder,

prior to the relevant record date for that new issue.

24. Reconstructions

If prior to exercise of an Option or conversion of a Performance Right there is a reconstruction of the issued capital the Company, then the Option or Performance Right will be reconstructed in a manner consistent with the Listing Rules or as determined by the Board.

25. Rights of Participants

The Rules do not confer any rights that affect the employment contract of an Employee and may not be used to increase damages in an action in respect of termination. Participants will not have any right to attend or vote at meetings of Shareholders.

28
