Resolutions 1 & 2 – Ratification of Performance Rights and Shares

Narraburra Acquisition Background

On 19 April 2024, the Company announced the acquisition of the interest held by EX9 in the Narraburra Temora Farm-In and Joint Venture Agreement.

Under the terms of the agreement, the Company acquired the interest held by EX9 in consideration for the Company:

  • (a) paying $150,000 cash to EX9;

  • (b) issuing 3,442,341 Shares to EX9, being the number of Shares equal to $100,000 divided by $0.02905 (being the VWAP for five trading days immediately following 19 April 2024);

  • (c) issuing 1,666,666 Tranche 1 Performance Rights to EX9 on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1 to this Explanatory Memorandum; and

  • (d) issuing 1,000,000 Tranche 2 Performance Rights to EX9 on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1 to this Explanatory Memorandum.

6 This figure assumes that the Entitlement Offer is fully subscribed and all Shares subscribed for under the Entitlement Offer are issued prior to the date of this Notice.

Explanatory Memorandum

The strategic acquisition followed extensive exploration undertaken by the Company which delivered a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate for Narraburra of 94.9MT at 739ppm TREYO, including a higher-grade component of 20MT at 1,079ppm TREYO in accordance with JORC (2012) (refer ASX announcements on 19 April 2023 and 21 April 2023).

The Performance Rights were issued to EX9 on 18 April 2024 in accordance with the terms set out in Schedule 1 to this Explanatory Memorandum. On 1 May 2024, 3,442,341 Shares were issued to EX9.

The issue of the Performance Rights and the Shares pursuant to Resolutions 1 and 2 were undertaken under the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

The issue of the Performance Rights and Shares to EX9 does not fit within any of these exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by 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 relevant dates of issue.

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to subsequently ratify the previous issues of securities made without prior shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1, provided the issue did not breach the maximum thresholds set by Listing Rule 7.1. 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 thus the Company, by Resolutions 1 and 2, is seeking ratification of the Performance Rights and Shares issued to EX9.

The Company confirms that the issue and allotment of the Performance Rights and Shares did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the date of issue.

If Resolutions 1 and 2 are passed, the Performance Rights and Shares issued using the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1 capacity will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% Threshold in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue.

If Resolutions 1 and/or Resolution 2 are not passed, the relevant issues will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% Threshold in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue.

A table summarising the effects of Resolutions 1 to 6 (inclusive) on the Company’s capacity when calculating the Company’s 15% Threshold in Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% Additional Placement Capacity limit in Listing Rule 7.1A is set out in Table 1 on page 12 of this Explanatory Memorandum

Resolution 3 – Ratification of 18,333,336 Shares under the Placement

Capital Raising Background

On 24 April 2024, the Company announced a private share placement of new Shares and attaching Options to raise approximately $550,000 (before expenses) ( Placement ), which comprised:

  • (a) the issue of 18,333,336 Shares by way of a private placement to sophisticated, professional and institutional investors at an issue price of $0.03 per Share (Resolution 3); and

  • (b) an agreement to subsequently issue 18,333,336 Options to sophisticated, professional and institutional investors who participated in the Placement by way of private placement, which was conditional on Shareholder approval being obtained for those issue (Resolution 4).

The Options under the Placement will be issued in accordance with the terms set out in Schedule 2 to this Explanatory Memorandum.

The funds raised from the Placement will be applied to the following activities:

  • metallurgical and mineralogical studies, diamond drilling and the initiation of a scoping stage mining study, including updating the Mineral Resource Estimate at the Narraburra Rare Earth Elements Project;

  • drilling at Goodrich, Cyclops and Yeoval East; and

  • general working capital expenses.

Explanatory Memorandum

As noted in the section of this Explanatory Memorandum entitled “ Capital Raising Background ”, on 24 April 2024, the Company announced the Placement which included an issue of 18,333,336 Shares to sophisticated, professional and institutional investors. The Shares were issued without Shareholder approval under the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

As described above in relation to Resolutions 1 and 2, 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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

The issue of the Shares pursuant to Resolution 3 does not fit within any of these exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by 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 relevant dates of issue.

As described above in relation to Resolutions 1 and 2, Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to subsequently ratify the previous issues of securities made without prior shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1, provided the issue did not breach the maximum thresholds set by Listing Rule 7.1. 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 thus the Company is seeking ratification of the Shares issued pursuant to the Placement by Resolution 3.

The Company confirms that the issue and allotment of the Shares issued pursuant to Resolution 3 did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the date of issue.

Resolution 3 seeks the ratification of 18,333,336 Shares which were issued by the Company under the Placement using its capacity under Listing Rules 7.1.

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Shares issued using the Company’s 15% Threshold in Listing Rule 7.1 will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% Threshold in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the relevant issues will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% Threshold in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue.

A table summarising the effects of Resolutions 1 to 6 (inclusive) on the Company’s capacity when calculating the Company’s 15% Threshold in Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% Additional Placement Capacity limit in Listing Rule 7.1A is set out in Table 1 on page 12 of this Explanatory Memorandum.

A table summarising the effects of Resolutions 1 to 6 (inclusive) on the Company’s share capital is set out in Table 2 on page 13 of this Explanatory Memorandum.

As described above in relation to Resolutions 1 to 3 (inclusive), subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue or agree to issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

Exception 17 set out in Listing Rule 7.2 provides that an agreement to issue Equity Securities that is conditional on the holders of the listed company’s ordinary securities approving the issue before the issue is made shall be an exception to this prohibition, provided that if an entity relies on this exception the listed company must not issue the Equity Securities without such approval.

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be permitted to issue the Options.

Resolution 6 – Approval to issue 400,000 Shares and 400,000 Options to Mr Christopher Hartley or his nominated Associate

Mr Hartley wishes to subscribe for 400,000 Shares and 400,000 Options on the same terms and conditions as the Placement as noted in the section of this Explanatory Memorandum titled “ Capital Raising Background ” on page 16.

Listing Rule Requirements

The Company is proposing to issue and allot 400,000 Shares and 400,000 Options to Mr Hartley (or his nominated Associate) on the same terms and conditions as the Placement as noted in the section of this Explanatory Memorandum titled “ Capital Raising Background ” on page 16 (“Hartley Issue”).

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:

(a) 10.11.1 a related party;

  • (b) 10.11.2 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;

  • (c) 10.11.3 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 of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;

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

  • (e) 10.11.5 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 its shareholders,

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

22

Explanatory Memorandum

As Mr Hartley is a Related Party of the Company by virtue of his position as a Director, he is a person falling within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and his Associates fall within ASX Listing Rule 10.11.4. The Hartley Issue does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of the Company’s shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolution 6 seeks the required Shareholder approval to the Hartley Issue under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to issue the applicable number of Shares and Options to Mr Hartley or his nominated Associate.

If Resolution 6 is not passed, then the Company will not be able to issue the applicable number of Shares and Options to Mr Hartley or his nominated Associate and all application money received from Mr Hartley or his nominated Associate for the Shares will be returned.

As described above in relation to Resolutions 1 to 5 (inclusive), subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A limit the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% and 10% respectively of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 14 for Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A provides that an issue of Equity Securities made with the approval of the holders of the listed company’s ordinary securities under rule 10.11 or 10.14. shall be an exception to this prohibition.

A table summarising the effects of Resolutions 1 to 6 (inclusive) on the Company’s capacity when calculating the Company’s 15% Threshold in Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% Additional Placement Capacity limit in Listing Rule 7.1A is set out in Table 1 on page 12 of this Explanatory Memorandum

A table summarising the effects of Resolutions 1 to 6 (inclusive) on the Company’s share capital is set out in Table 2 on page 13 of this Explanatory Memorandum.

Corporations Act

Under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, a public company cannot give a financial benefit to a Related Party unless an exception applies or shareholders have in a general meeting approved the giving of that financial benefit to the Related Party. Mr Hartley is a Director and is therefore a Related Party of the Company.

The Board has formed the view that Shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act is not required for the proposed issue of the Shares and Options pursuant to Resolution 6, on the basis that exception in section 210 of the Corporations Act applies as Mr Hartley is proposing to participate in the Placement on the same terms as other participants.

For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in respect of Resolution 6:


Resolution 6:
The name of the person Christopher Hartley (or his nominated Associate)
Which category in rules
10.11.1 – 10.11.5 the
person falls within and why
As Mr Hartley is a Related Party of the Company by virtue
of his position as a Director, he is a person falling within
