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 – RATIFICATION OF ISSUE OF PLACEMENT SHARES

1.1 Background

On 1 November 2021, the Company announced that it had completed a placement of 352,941,178 Shares at an issue price of $0.017 to raise total funds of $6.0 million (before costs) ( Placement ) to institutional, professional and Sophisticated Investors to underpin the next major phase of drilling, exploration and resource growth at its flagship 100%-owned Gidgee Gold Project in Western Australia.

The Placement was strongly supported by both existing shareholders and new investors, including the Company’s major shareholder, Kerry Harmanis.

The Company received the support of its Directors in the Placement, and the issue of these shares to Directors will be subject to shareholder approval under Resolution 2 of this Notice.

Participants in the Placement will receive free-attaching options ( New Options ) on a one (1) for two (2) basis, with each New Option being exercisable at $0.03 and expiring on 15 December 2024. The issue of the New Options is subject to shareholder approval. A total of 176,470,709 New Options are expected to be issued (subject to rounding).

Listing Rule 7.4 permits the ratification of previous issues of securities made without Shareholder approval, provided such issue, in aggregate with any other applicable issues of Equity Securities by the Company, did not breach the 15% Threshold.

Shareholder ratification of an issue of securities under Listing Rule 7.4 enables the Company capacity to issue further securities up to the 15% Threshold, without additional Shareholder approval (but still subject to any other approval required under the Listing Rules), to the extent of the securities that were the subject of that ratification.

11

Listing Rule 7.4 stipulates that an issue of Equity Securities made without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with it is subsequently approved by Shareholders.

The issue of the Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it uses part of the Company’s 15% capacity in Listing Rules 7.1 and part of the Company’s 10% Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A, and if this Resolution is not approved it reduces the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.
