Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report

1. General

The Annual Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 contains a Remuneration Report, which forms part of the Directors’ Report and sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and its controlled entities, and reports the remuneration arrangements in place for executive directors, senior management and non-executive directors.

The Corporations Act requires listed companies to put an annual non-binding resolution to shareholders to adopt the Remuneration Report. In line with the legislation, this vote will be advisory only, and does not bind the Directors or the Company. However, the Board will take the outcome of the vote into consideration when considering the Company’s remuneration policy.

2. Voting consequences

Under the Corporations Act, if at least 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting, and then again at the Company’s 2022 annual general meeting, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of a general meeting to consider the appointment of Directors of the Company ( Spill Resolution ).

11

If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene the general meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the Company’s 2022 annual general meeting. All the Directors who were in office when the Company’s 2022 Director’s report was approved, other than the managing director of the Company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting. Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as Directors is approved will be the Directors of the Company.

3. Previous voting results

At the Company's previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report were less than 25%. Accordingly, the resolution for the re-election of the Board is not relevant for this Meeting.

The Chairman will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on the Remuneration Report.

The Chairman intends to exercise all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1. If the Chairman of the Meeting is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chairman is to vote on Resolution 1, by signing and returning the Proxy Form, the Shareholder is considered to have provided the Chairman with an express authorisation for the Chairman to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chairman’s intention.

4. Resolution 5 - Grant Of Incentive Options To Director

4.1 Details of the proposed grant of options to Timothy Cameron

The Company proposes to grant, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, 20,000,000 options each exercisable at $0.12 and expiring on or before 5 years from the date of their issue ( Incentive Options ) to Timothy Cameron (or his nominee). The Incentive Options proposed to be issued form part of the remuneration package for Mr Cameron.

Having regard to the varied roles that Mr Cameron holds in respect of the development of the Company, the Board considers that the grant of Incentive Options to Mr Cameron is an appropriate form of long-term incentive-based remuneration as it provides an attractive remuneration package to motivate and reward the performance of Mr Cameron as the Company’s CEO. In particular:

  • (a) the grant of Incentive Options to Mr Cameron will ensure the alignment of the interests of Mr Cameron with those of Shareholders;

13

  • (b) the grant of the Incentive Options is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to Mr Cameron; and

  • (c) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in granting the Incentive Options upon the terms proposed.

4.2 Approval for the purposes of the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the grant of Incentive Options to Mr Cameron for the purposes of:

  • (a) ASX Listing Rule 10.11, which requires Shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX's opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies; and

  • (b) Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, which prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of a public company unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the nominated exceptions or Shareholder approval is obtained prior to the giving of the financial benefit.

Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of securities that have been approved under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, provided that Resolution 5 is approved by Shareholders, the grant of Incentive Options to Mr Cameron (and any subsequent acquisition of Shares upon exercise of those Incentive Options) will not be included in the calculation of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule.

4.3 Listing Rule 10.11

For the purpose of the approval sought under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 the following information is provided in relation to the proposed grant of Incentive Options to Mr Cameron.

If Resolution 5 is passed, Gold Mountain will be able to proceed with the Issue of Incentive Options to Mr Cameron as part of its remuneration planning, preserving the Company’s cash.

If Resolution 5 is not passed, Gold Mountain will not be able to proceed with the Issue of Incentive Options to Mr Cameron as part of its remuneration planning, therefore the Company may be required to increase the cash remuneration paid to Mr Cameron.

4.4 Information required by the ASX Listing Rules

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to this Resolution:

  • (a) the Incentive Options are proposed to be issued to a Director of the Company, Mr Cameron (or his nominees), a related party of the Company.

  • (b) the maximum number of Incentive Options that may be granted pursuant pursuant to Resolution 5 is 20,000,000.

14

  • (c) the purpose of the issue of the Incentive Options is to provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for Tim Cameron to motivate and reward their performance as a Director and to provide cost effective remuneration to Tim Cameron, enabling the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to Tim Cameron.

  • (d) the Incentive Options will be granted on the specific terms and conditions set out in Annexure A of this Explanatory Statement. No price is payable for the grant of the Incentive Options, or on vesting of the Incentive Options, however there will be an Exercise Price to be paid by a prescribed date in order to convert the Incentive Options into new ordinary shares. The value of the Incentive Options to be issued to Mr Cameron is set out in section 4.4(e) below. Options were chosen as the form of security to incentivise Mr Cameron as it minimises upfront dilution and, if all Incentive Options are exercised, will raise $2,400,000 through the issue of Shares at $0.12.

  • (e) The current total remuneration package for Tim Cameron is $207,000 per annum, comprising of directors’ fees. If the Incentive Options are issued, the total remuneration package of Tim Cameron for the 2022 financial year will increase by $184,366 to $391,366, being the value of the Incentive Options (based on black scholes valuation methodology as set out in Annexure B ).

  • (f) The Incentive Options are not being issued under an agreement.

  • (g) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice of Meeting.

  • (h) No loans are being provided by the Company for the acquisition of securities under the Incentive Plan.

  • (i) the Incentive Options will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules).

  • (j) Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for issues that have been approved under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, provided Resolution 5 is approved by Shareholders, the grant of Incentive Options to Mr Cameron (and any subsequent acquisition of Shares on the valid exercise of those Incentive Options) will not be included in the calculation of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

4.5 Information required by the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of a public company unless the benefit falls within one of the various exceptions to the general prohibition. A “related party” for the purposes of the Corporations Act is defined broadly and includes a director of the Company. “Financial Benefit” has a wide meaning and includes the issue of securities by a public company.

The issue of Incentive Options to Tim Cameron (or his nominee) constitutes giving a financial benefit and Tim Cameron is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

The Directors (other than Tim Cameron who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the grant of Incentive Options because the agreement to issue the Incentive Options, reached as part of the remuneration package for Tim Cameron, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis

15

4.6 Directors’ recommendation and basis of recommendation:

The Board (excluding Mr Cameron) recommends Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution.

4.7 Other information

There are no material opportunity costs to the Company, no taxation consequences to the Company and no material benefits foregone by the Company in granting the Incentive Options to Mr Cameron.

The Directors are not aware of any information, other than the information set out in this Explanatory Statement that would reasonably be required by Shareholders in order to decide whether or not it is in the Company’s interests to pass Resolution 5.

5. Resolution 6 – Ratification of Prior Issue of Shares - Placement

5.1 Background

On 16 November 2020, the Company announced that it had had entered into funding agreements with entities affiliated with Mr Matt Liddy, an advisor to the Company ( Funding Agreement ( Annexure C )). Pursuant to the Funding Agreement, Gold Mountain issued 36,363,636 ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.055 per share to raise $2 million before costs ( Placement Shares ). The Placement Shares were issued out of the Company’s ASX Listing Rule 7.1 capacity.

Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Shares, as set out below.

5.2 ASX listing rule 7.1

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12-month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12-month period.

ASX 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 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 in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under

16

Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Shares.

5.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4

In compliance with the information requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.5, Shareholders are advised of the following in relation to the Ratification of the Bonus Shares:

  • (b) the issue price of the Placement Shares was $0.055 per Share;

  • (c) the Shares are ordinary fully paid shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the existing Shares on issue;

  • (d) the Shares were issued to an employee of the Company but not a related party of the Company.

  • (e) the Placement Shares were issued on 16 November 2020; and

  • (f) the purpose of the issue was to raise $2 million before costs for project exploration and working capital.

If Resolution 6 is passed, the Issue will be excluded in calculating Gold Mountain’s 15% limit 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 Issue Date.

If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Issue will be included in calculating Gold Mountain’s 15% limit 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 Issue Date.

The Directors unanimously recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6.

10.2 ASX Listing Rule Requirements

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

23

over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that 12 month period.

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 extra 10% to 25%.

The issue of the Placement Securities 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 effectively uses up part of the 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Securities.

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 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.

  • (g) the Company confirms that none of the recipients were:

  • (i) 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; and

  • (i) the Placement Securities were not issued under an agreement; and

  • (j) a voting exclusion statement has been included for this Resolution.

If Resolutions 11 and 12 are passed, the Placement Securities will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Securities.

If Resolutions 11 and 12 are not passed, the Placement Securities will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Securities.

The Directors unanimously recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 11 & 12.

12.1 General

26

Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements in the 12 month period after an annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Facility ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity.

The Company is now seeking Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility.

Resolution 14 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 12.2(c) below).

The Company may use the 10% Placement Facility to fund ongoing development.

The Directors of the Company believe Resolution 14 is in the best interest of the Company and its Shareholders and unanimously recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

12.2 Description of Listing Rule 7.1A

(a) Shareholder approval

The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting.

(b) Equity Securities

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company.

The Company, as at the date of the Notice, has on issue one class of quoted Equity Securities, being fully paid ordinary shares (ASX: GMN).

(c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility

In addition to issues under Listing Rule 7.1, an eligible entity which has obtained shareholder approval of this Listing Rule 7.1A may, during the period of the approval, issue or agree to issue a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

where:

A = has the same meaning as in Listing Rule 7.1;

27

D = 10%;

E = the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the relevant period where the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.4.

(d) Listing Rule 7.1

The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

At the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue 1,056,057,474 Shares and therefore has a capacity to issue:

  • (i) 158,408,621 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • (ii) subject to Shareholder approval being sought under Resolution 15,

  • 105,605,747 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2.

  • (e)

Minimum Issue Price

Any Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 must be in an existing quoted class of the Company’s Equity Securities and issued for a cash consideration per security which is not less than 75% of the volume weighted average price (VWAP) of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the entity and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(f) 10% Placement Period

If approved, approval under this Listing Rule 7.1A commences on the date of the Company’s Annual General Meeting and expires on the first to occur of the following:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained; or

  • (ii) the time and date of the Company’s next Annual General Meeting; or

  • (iii) the time and date of the approval by the Company’s Shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

( 10% Placement Period ).

12.3 Listing Rule 7.1A

The effect of Resolution 15 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

28

Resolution 14 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

12.4 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility as follows:

  • (a) The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company’s Equity Securities over the 15 Trading Days immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the entity and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

  • (b) If Resolution 14 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders’ voting power in the Company will potentially be diluted as shown in the below table (in the case of listed Options, only if the listed Options are exercised). There is a risk that:

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

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

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.

The below table shows the potential dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable “A” calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of this Notice.

The table shows:

  • (i) two examples where variable “A” has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and

  • (ii) two examples of where the issue price or ordinary securities has decreased by 50% (rounded up) and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • (i) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.

  • (ii) No Options (including any listed Options issued under the 10% Placement Facility) are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities;

  • (iii) The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example at 10%.

  • (iv) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility, based on the Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.

  • (v) The table shows only the effect of issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (vi) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares.

  • (vii) The issue price is $0.019, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 5 October 2021.

(c)

  • The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:

  • (i) continued exploration expenditure on the Company’s current assets;

  • (ii) acquisition of new assets or investments (including any expenses associated with such acquisition); and

  • (iii) general working capital.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rule 7.1A.4 upon issue of any Equity Securities.

The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of the Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:

  • (i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;

  • (ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • (iv) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

30

The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.

12.5 Previous approval under Listing Rule 7.1A
