1. Background
Capital raising
On 4 October 2024, the Company announced that it was conducting a capital raising by way of a placement of 200 million new Shares ( New Shares ) at an issue price of A$0.05 per New Share ( Issue Price ) and 210 million unlisted options with an exercise price of A$0.075 and expiry date of 30 April 2025 ( New Options ) to institutional, sophisticated and professional investors to raise up to A$10 million (before costs) ( Placement ).
The Placement is split into two tranches, being:
-
Tranche 1 Placement which was unconditional and comprised the issue of 170,000,000 New Shares at the Issue Price to raise A$8.5 million ( Tranche 1 Shares ), with 101,378,401 New Shares issued under the Company’s placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 and 68,621,599 New Shares issued under the Company’s additional placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A; and
-
Tranche 2 Placement which comprises the issue of:
-
170,000,000 New Options to Tranche 1 Placement participants ( Tranche 2 Options ), subject to shareholder approval (which is the subject of Resolution 3);
-
29,000,000 New Shares and 29,000,000 New Options to Tembo Capital, subject to shareholder approval (which is the subject of Resolution 4) and FIRB approval;
-
1,000,000 New Shares and 1,000,000 New Options to Greg Lilleyman, a Director of the Company, subject to shareholder approval (which is the subject of Resolution 5); and
-
10,000,000 New Options in aggregate to Foster Stockbroking and Reach Markets for services rendered in connection with the Placement ( Broker Options ), subject to shareholder approval (which is the subject of Resolution 6).
Further details regarding the Placement are set out in the Company’s ASX announcement dated 4 October 2024 titled “ A$10 million placement ”.

Loan Facility
On 4 October 2024, the Company also announced that it had executed an unsecured, arm’s length US$1 million loan facility with Tembo Capital ( Loan Facility ). Further details of the Loan Facility are set out in the Company’s ASX announcement dated 4 October 2024 titled “ A$10 million placement ”.
If shareholder approval (which is the subject of Resolution 4) and FIRB approval are obtained to permit Tembo Capital’s participation in the Tranche 2 Placement, then the total subscription amount of A$1,450,000 payable by Tembo Capital to the Company for New Shares and attaching New Options under the Tranche 2 Placement will be set-off against the principal amount owing by the Company to Tembo Capital under the Loan Facility, thereby effectively converting the loan to equity via Tembo Capital’s participation in the Placement.
Lead manager
Foster Stockbroking is acting as lead manager and bookrunner, with Reach Markets acting as co-manager, in relation to the Placement. Pursuant to an engagement letter dated 25 September 2024 ( FSB Mandate Letter ), the Company has agreed to:
-
pay Foster Stockbroking a management fee of 2%, and a distribution fee of 4%, of the gross proceeds of the Placement;
-
issue the Broker Options to Foster Stockbroking and Reach Markets, subject to receipt of Shareholder approval (the subject of Resolution 6);
-
pay Reach Markets an engagement fee of A$20,000.
The management and distribution fees will become payable by the Company on the respective settlement dates of each tranche of the Placement.
In addition, the Company has agreed to reimburse Foster Stockbroking for certain other agreed costs and expenses (including legal costs) incurred in relation to the Placement.
Uses of funds
The purpose of the Placement is to provide funding to:
-
meet corporate costs and provide general working capital whilst the Company advances discussions on project financing for its Baniaka iron ore project in Gabon ( Baniaka );
-
meet the operating costs of Baniaka and Genmin’s small representative office in Libreville, Gabon; and
-
cover the costs of the Placement.
New Option terms
The New Options will have an exercise price of A$0.075 and an expiry date of 30 April 2025. The New Options will not be quoted on ASX.
The terms and conditions of the New Options are set out in the Company’s ASX announcement dated 4 October 2024 titled “ Terms and Conditions of free attaching Placement options ”.

Information regarding the issue of the Tranche 1 Shares under the Placement is set out in section 1 of these Explanatory Materials.
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the Equity Securities it had on issue at the start of that period.
However, 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 this 15% limit by an additional 10% to a total of 25% ( Additional 10% Placement Capacity ). An “eligible entity” for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that, as at the date approval from its members for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A was obtained, was not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and which had a market capitalisation equal to or less than the amount prescribed by ASX (currently A$300 million). The Company is an “eligible entity” for these purposes and obtained Shareholder approval to access its Additional 10% Placement Capacity at its annual general meeting held on 30 May 2024.
The issue of the Tranche 1 Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as the issue has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it uses up part of the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1 and uses up all of the Company’s Additional 10% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A, 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 issue date of 14 October 2024, and under Listing Rule 7.1A until the earlier of:
-
the date that is 12 months after the Company’s last annual general meeting at which the Additional 10% Placement Capacity was approved;
-
the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; and
-
the time and date of Shareholder approval of any transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking),
( Additional 10% Placement Capacity Expiry Date ).
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of Equity Securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If approved, 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 Listing Rule 7.1 or under Listing Rule 7.1A.
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. To this end, Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
If Resolution 1 is passed, 101,378,401 of the Tranche 1 Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date of 14 October 2024.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, 101,378,401 of the Tranche 1 Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without

11
Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date of 14 October 2024.
If Resolution 2 is passed, 68,621,599 of the Tranche 1 Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s Additional 10% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval during the period expiring on the Additional 10% Placement Capacity Expiry Date.
If Resolution 2 is not passed, 68,621,599 of the Tranche 1 Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s Additional 10% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval during the period expiring on the Additional 10% Placement Capacity Expiry Date.
Information required by Listing Rule 7.5
The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5:
-
the Tranche 1 Shares were issued to various sophisticated, professional and institutional investors identified by the Company, Foster Stockbroking and Reach Markets (none of which are related parties of the Company). The participants in the Tranche 1 Placement were introduced by Foster Stockbroking, Reach Markets or were already known to the Company. The participants were identified through a book building process, which involved Foster Stockbroking and Reach Markets seeking expressions of interest from sophisticated, professional and institutional investors to participate in the Placement;
-
the number of Tranche 1 Shares issued under the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being those the subject of Resolution 1) was 101,378,401 and the number of Tranche 1 Shares issued under the Company’s Additional 10% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A (being those the subject of Resolution 2) was 68,621,599;
-
the Tranche 1 Shares 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 in the capital of the Company;
-
the Tranche 1 Shares were issued on 14 October 2024;
-
the Tranche 1 Shares were issued at a price of A$0.05 per New Share to raise a total of A$8,500,000;
-

3. Resolution 3 – Approval for issue of New Options under the Tranche 2 Placement
Background
Information regarding the proposed issue of the Tranche 2 Options is set out in section 1 of these Explanatory Materials.
genmingroup.com | ASX: GEN
12
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Tranche 2 Options to Tranche 1 Placement participants.
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue Equity Securities during any 12 month period that exceeds the amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
The issue of the Tranche 2 Options under the Tranche 2 Placement does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, together with the issue of the Tranche 1 Shares, exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. Therefore, the issue of the Tranche 2 Options requires the approval of Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Options to Tranche 1 Placement participants. In addition, the issue of the Tranche 2 Options will be excluded from the calculation of the number of Equity Securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Options to Tranche 1 Placement participants.
Information required by Listing Rule 7.3
The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3:
-
the Tranche 2 Options will be issued to the Tranche 1 Placement participants, who comprise various sophisticated, professional and institutional investors identified by the Company, Foster Stockbroking and Reach Markets (none of which are related parties of the Company). The participants in the Tranche 1 Placement were introduced by Foster Stockbroking, Reach Markets or were already known to the Company. The participants were identified through a book building process, which involved Foster Stockbroking and Reach Markets seeking expressions of interest from sophisticated, professional and institutional investors to participate in the Placement;
-
the number of Tranche 2 Options that will be issued is 170,000,000;
-
the Tranche 2 Options will be issued on the terms referred to in section 1 of these Explanatory Materials;
-
the Tranche 2 Options will be issued on Monday, 2 December 2024, or such later date that is no later than 3 months after the date of the EGM;
-
the Tranche 2 Options are free attaching New Options that will be issued for nil consideration;
-
no funds will be raised from the issue of the Tranche 2 Options. However, it is intended that any funds raised though the exercise of the Tranche 2 Options will be applied towards the Company’s working capital requirements; and
-
a voting exclusion statement applies to Resolution 3 as set out in the Notice of Meeting.

4. Resolution 4 – Approval for participation in the Tranche 2 Placement by Tembo Capital
Background
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of 29,000,000 New Shares and 29,000,000 free attaching New Options to Tembo Capital under the Tranche 2 Placement.
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that, unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed entity must not issue, or agree to issue, Equity Securities to:
-
a related party;
-
a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the entity;
-
a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the entity and who has nominated a director to the board of the entity pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;
-
an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
a person whose relationship with the entity 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 its shareholders,
unless it obtains the approval of its Shareholders.
As at the date of announcement of the Placement of 4 October 2024, Tembo Capital held 48.3% of the issued Shares in the Company and is, therefore, a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.11.2.
The proposed issue of New Shares and attaching New Options to Tembo Capital under the Tranche 2 Placement does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 and therefore Shareholder approval is required for the issue of the New Shares and attaching New Options to Tembo Capital.
The effect of approving Resolution 4 will be to allow Tembo Capital to participate in the Tranche 2 Placement and for the Company to issue 29,000,000 New Shares and 29,000,000 free attaching New Options to Tembo Capital (which, assuming that all of the New Shares and New Options under Tranche 2 are issued, will give Tembo Capital a 40.62% interest in the issued share capital of the Company on an undiluted basis).
If Shareholder approval is given for the issue of the New Shares and attaching New Options under Listing Rule 10.11, then:
-
Shareholder approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1 as contemplated by Listing Rule 7.2 exception 14 and the issue of the New Shares and attaching New Options to Tembo Capital will not use up any of the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1 or Additional 10% Placement Capacity;
-
the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the New Shares and attaching New Options to Tembo Capital, subject to Tembo Capital also obtaining FIRB approval for its participation in the Placement; and
-
the total subscription amount of A$1,450,000 payable by Tembo Capital to the Company for New Shares and attaching New Options under the Tranche 2 Placement will be set-off against the principal amount owing by the Company to Tembo Capital under the Loan Facility, thereby effectively converting the loan to equity via Tembo Capital’s participation in the Placement.
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the New Shares and attaching New Options to Tembo Capital and this will reduce the funds available to the Company under the Tranche 2 Placement and the total subscription amount of
genmingroup.com | ASX: GEN
14
A$1,450,000 that would have been payable by Tembo Capital for its New Shares and attaching New Options will not be able to be set-off against the principal amount owing by Genmin to Tembo Capital under the Loan Facility (meaning the Loan Facility will remain on foot and may need to be repaid in cash).
Information required by Listing Rule 10.13
The following information is provided to Shareholders in relation to the securities to be issued to Tembo Capital for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.13:
-
the New Shares and attaching New Options will be issued to Tembo Capital;
-
as at the date of announcement of the placement of 4 October 2024, Tembo Capital held 48.3% of the issued Shares in the Company and accordingly is a substantial (30%+) holder in the Company;
-
the number and class of securities to be issued to Tembo Capital is 29,000,000 New Shares and 29,000,000 free attaching New Options;
-
the New Shares to be issued to Tembo Capital will be 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 in the capital of the Company. The New Options to be issued to Tembo Capital will be issued on the terms referred to in section 1 of these Explanatory Materials;
-
the New Shares and New Options to be issued to Tembo Capital will be issued on Monday, 2 December 2024, or in accordance with the waiver of Listing Rule 10.13.5 obtained by the Company from ASX, no later than the earlier of:
-
3 business days after the Company’s Shareholders have approved the issue of the New Shares and New Options to Tembo Capital and Tembo Capital has received approval or a notice of no objection (as appropriate) from FIRB to acquire the New Shares and New Options; and
-
3 months after the date of the EGM.
-
the New Shares to be issued to Tembo Capital will be issued at a price of A$0.05 per Share and the New Options to be issued to Tembo Capital are free attaching options that will be issued for nil consideration, being the same issue price as for New Shares issued to Tranche 1 Placement participants and for New Options to be issued under the Tranche 2 Placement;
-
proceeds from the New Shares to be issued to Tembo Capital are proposed to be set-off against the principal amount owing by the Company to Tembo Capital under the Loan Facility; and
-
a voting exclusion statement applies to Resolution 4 as set out in the Notice of Meeting.
Recommendation of Directors

5. Resolution 5 – Approval for participation in the Tranche 2 Placement by Greg Lilleyman
Background
Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of 1,000,000 New Shares and 1,000,000 free attaching New Options to Mr Lilleyman (or his nominee), a Director of the Company, under the Tranche 2 Placement.
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that, unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed entity must not issue, or agree to issue, Equity Securities to:
-
a related party;
-
a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the entity;
-
a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the entity and who has nominated a director to the board of the entity pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;
-
an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
a person whose relationship with the entity 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 its shareholders,
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
A related party of an entity includes a director of the entity. Mr Lilleyman is a director of the Company and is, therefore, a related party of the Company referred to in Listing Rule 10.11.1.
The proposed issue of New Shares and attaching New Options to Mr Lilleyman (or his nominee) under the Tranche 2 Placement does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 and therefore Shareholder approval is required for the issue of the New Shares and attaching New Options to Mr Lilleyman (or his nominee).
The effect of approving Resolution 5 will be to allow Mr Lilleyman to participate in the Tranche 2 Placement and for the Company to issue 1,000,000 New Shares and 1,000,000 free attaching New Options to Mr Lilleyman (or his nominee).
If Shareholder approval is given for the issue of the New Shares and attaching New Options under Listing Rule 10.11, then:
-
Shareholder approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1 as contemplated by Listing Rule 7.2 exception 14 and the issue of the New Shares and attaching New Options to Mr Lilleyman (or his nominee) will not use up any of the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1 or Additional 10% Placement Capacity; and
-
• the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the New Shares and attaching New Options to Mr Lilleyman (or his nominee).
If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the New Shares and attaching New Options to Mr Lilleyman (or his nominee) and this will reduce the funds available to the Company under the Tranche 2 Placement.

6. Resolution 6 – Approval for issue of Broker Options to Foster Stockbroking and Reach Markets
Background
Information regarding the proposed issue of the Broker Options to Foster Stockbroking and Reach Markets is set out in section 1 of these Explanatory Materials.
Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Broker Options to Foster Stockbroking and Reach Markets.
Neither Foster Stockbroking or Reach Markets are a related party, or an Associate of a related party, of the Company.
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue Equity Securities during any 12 month period that exceeds the amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
