ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

Resolution 4 – ASX Listing Rule 7.1A Approval of Future Issue of Securities

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

Under Listing Rule 7.1A, however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to add an additional 10% capacity.

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 less than the amount prescribed by ASX (currently $300 million).

As of the date of this Notice of Meeting, the Company has a market capitalisation of approximately $8.03 million and therefore is an eligible entity for Listing Rule 7.1A. If at the time of the Meeting the Company is no longer an eligible entity this Resolution will be withdrawn.

This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval.

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.

Formula for calculating additional 10% capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides those eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of equity securities 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:

  • (a) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (other than exception 9, 16 or 17);

  • (b) plus the number of fully paid ordinary Shares issued in the Relevant Period on the conversion of Convertible Securities within ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:

  • i. the Convertible Securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the Relevant Period; or

  • ii. the issue of, or agreement to issue, the Convertible Securities was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;

  • (c) plus the number of fully paid ordinary Shares issued in the Relevant Period under an agreement to issue securities within ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where: a. the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the Relevant Period; or

Golden Mile Resources Ltd | Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement

15

  • b. the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or ASX Listing Rule 7.4;

  • (d) plus the number of partly paid Shares that became fully paid in the Relevant Period;

  • (e) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the Relevant Period with approval of holders of Shares under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4. This may include fully paid ordinary Shares issued in the Relevant Period under an agreement to issue securities within ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 17 where the issue is subsequently approved under ASX Listing Rule 7.1;

  • (f) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.

  • D is 10%

E is the number of equity securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the Relevant Period where the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by the holders of the ordinary Shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.4.

Relevant Period means the 12 month period immediately preceding the date of the issue or agreement.

Convertible Securities has the meaning given to that term in the ASX Listing Rules (for example, Options and the Convertible Notes).

It is noted that securities issued with the shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 are not considered to have been issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Securities issued without shareholder approval with the benefit of waiver from ASX Listing Rue 7.1 are treated as being issued with shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 unless the terms of the waiver provides otherwise.

The following information is provided to Shareholder for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3A.

Period for which the approval will be valid

Any equity securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 must be an existing quoted class of the Company’s equity securities and issued for cash consideration.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company currently has two class of quoted equity securities on issue, being Shares (ASX Code: G88) and Listed Options (ASX Code: G88O).

The issue price per equity security must not be less than 75% of the volume weighted average market price of the equity securities in that class, calculated over 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (a) the date on which the price at the equity securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the equity securities; and

  • (b) if the equity securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in paragraph (a), the

Golden Mile Resources Ltd | Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement

date on which the equity securities are issued.

Purposes for which the funds raised by an issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A may be used

As noted above, any equity securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 must be issued for cash consideration. Accordingly, every issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 will have an accompanying proposed use of funds at the time of issue.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not formed an intention to offer any equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period, if Shareholders approve this Resolution. However, if Shareholders approved this Resolution and the Company did raise funds from the issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, based on the Company’s existing plans, the Company considers that the funds may be used for the following purposes:

  • (a) exploration costs and expenditure on the Company’s project tenements; and

  • (b) general working capital.

Risk of economic and voting dilution to existing ordinary Securityholders

If this Resolution is approved, and the Company issues equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, the existing Shareholders’ economic and voting power in the Company may be diluted.

There is a risk that:

  • (a) the market price for the Company’s equity securities in that class may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the approval under Listing Rule 7.1A; and

  • (b) the equity securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount (as described above) 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 equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

The table below shows the potential dilution of existing Securityholders on the basis of 3 different assumed issue prices and values for the variable “A” in the formula in rule 7.1A.2 where the number of Shares on issue (Variable “A”) in the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2) has remained current or increased by either 50% or 100% and the Share Price has decreased by 50%, remained current or increased by 100% based on the closing price of the Company’s Shares on ASX as at 3 November 2021:

  • (h) “Fund raised” are before any capital raising costs which may be incurred.

Allocation policy for issues under Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company’s allocation policy and the identity of the allottees of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A will depend on a number of factors, including:

  • (a) the Company’s intentions in relation to the possible issue of equity securities (for cash consideration) during the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period;

  • (b) the structure and timeframe of the capital raising opportunities available to the Company and any alternative methods for raising funds that are available to the Company (such as a pro rata offer or an offer under a share purchase plan);

  • (c) the potential effect on the control of the Company;

  • (d) the Company’s financial position and the likely future capital requirements; and

  • (e) advice from the Company’s corporate or financial advisors.

Based on the Company’s historical cashflow reports and capital raising activities in the past 12 months, the Company considers that it may raise funds during the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period, although this cannot be guaranteed. As of the date of this Notice, no specific intention to issue equity securities in relation to any parties, investors or existing Securityholders have been formed. In addition, no intentions have been formed in relation to the possible number of issues, or the time frame in which the issues could be made. Subject to the requirements of the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, the Board of Directors reserve the right to determine at the time of any issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, the allocation policy that the Company will adopt for that issue.

If and when the determination is made to proceed with an issue of equity securities during the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period, details regarding the allottees and purposes of issue will be disclosed pursuant to the Company’s obligations under Listing Rules 3.10.3 and 7.1A.4.

Offers made under Listing Rule 7.1A may be made to parties (excluding any related parties) including professional and sophisticated investors, existing Shareholders of the Company, clients of Australian Financial Service Licence holders and/or their nominees, or any other person to whom the Company is able to make an offer of equity securities.

Ratification of Prior Issue of Shares

Resolution 5 – Ratification of Prior Issue of Placement Shares

Background

As announced by the Company on 9 September 2021, the Company successfully completed a placement to sophisticated and professional investors ( Placement Participants ) of 32,000,000 new fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of 5 cents ($0.05) per Share ( Placement Shares ) raising $1,600,000 (before costs) for the Company ( Placement ). Investors who subscribe under the Placement will receive one free attaching listed G88O option for every four shares subscribed for in the Placement. Each option will be exercisable at 10c ($0.10) with an expiry date of 23 September 2023 ( Placement Options ) subject to shareholder approval being the subject of Resolution 6.

The Company’s largest shareholder and non-executive director, Francesco Cannavo, has agreed to participate in the Placement for $100,000 of shares, subject to shareholder approval being the subject of Resolution 8.

ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A

This Resolution proposes that Shareholders of the Company approve and ratify the prior issue and allotment of 30,000,000 Placement Shares, which were issued on 17 September 2021 ( Issue Date ).

15,998,168 Placement Shares were issued under Listing Rule 7.1 and 14,001,832 Placement Shares were issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.

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

At last year’s AGM, the Company sought and obtained approval of its Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1A to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.

The issue of 30,000,000 Placement Shares did not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A and, as it has not been approved by the Company’s Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the expanded 25% limit in Listing Rule 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 Issue Date (noting that the extra 10% under Listing Rule 7.1A will expire unless re-approved by the Company’s Shareholders on an annual basis).

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 Listing Rule 7.1.

A note to Listing Rule 7.4 also provides that an issue made in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A can be approved subsequently under Listing Rule 7.4 and, if it is, the issue will then be excluded from variable “E” in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (which means that the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A is not reduced).

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.

To this end, this Resolution seeks Shareholder approval to subsequently approve the issue of 30,000,000 Placement Shares for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

Golden Mile Resources Ltd | Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement

21

If this Resolution is passed, the issue of 30,000,000 Placement Shares under the Placement will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 25% capacity to issue equity securities under Listing Rules 7.1 (15%) and 7.1A (10%) without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Issue Date.

If this Resolution is not passed, the issue of 30,000,000 Placement Shares under the Placement will be included in calculating the Company’s 25% capacity to issue equity securities under Listing Rules 7.1 (15%) and 7.1A (10%) without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Issue Date.

Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5

The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5.

  • (b) The Company issued 30,000,000 Placement Shares.

  • (c) The Shares were fully paid on issue and ranked equally in all aspects with all existing fully paid ordinary shares previously issued by the Company.

  • Target generation and drilling programs at the Company’s Yuinmery and Leonora Gold projects;

  • Beneficiation study of the Company’s Quicksilver nickel-cobalt project;

  • Ongoing project evaluation; and

  • Working capital purposes.

Resolution 6 – Approval of Issue of Placement Options

Background

This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval to issue and allot 7,500,000 Placement Options to the Placement Participants pursuant to the Placement as detailed above in Resolution 5.

The effect of this Resolution is for Shareholders to approve the issue of these 7,500,000 Placement Options to fall within an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1, which will allow the Company to issue these without using the Company’s 15% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

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, this Resolution seeks Shareholder approval to approve the issue of the Placement Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

If this Resolution is not passed, and the Company proceeds with the issue, the Placement Options will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date on which the Placement Options are issued.

Information Required by Listing Rule 7.3

The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3:

  • Target generation and drilling programs at the Company’s Yuinmery and Leonora Gold projects;

Directors’ Recommendation

The Board of Directors recommend Shareholders vote for this Resolution.

Resolution 7 – Approval of Issue of Options to Sanlam Private Wealth Pty Ltd

Background

This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval to issue and allot 3,500,000 listed G88O options to Sanlam Private Wealth Pty Ltd or its nominee(s) pursuant to a Lead Manager Mandate. Sanlam Private Wealth Pty Ltd was engaged to assist the Company in its September 2021 capital raising.

The effect of this Resolution is for Shareholders to approve the issue of these 3,500,000 Options to fall within an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1, which will allow the Company to issue these without using the Company’s 15% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 8 – Approval of Issue of Placement Shares and Options to Francesco Cannavo, Non-Executive Director

Background

This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval to issue and allot 2,000,000 Placement Shares and 500,000 Placement Options to Francesco Cannavo, a Director of the Company (or his nominee(s)) pursuant to his participation in the Placement raising $100,000.

Listing Rule 10.11

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, the Company, as a listed company, must not issue equity securities to persons in a position of influence without Shareholder approval.

A person in a position of influence for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 includes:

  • (a) a related party;

  • (b) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue of agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the Company;

  • (c) 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) an Associate of a person referred to in (a) to (c) above; and

  • (e) a person whose relationship with the Company or a person referred to in (a) to (d) above is such that, in the ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by Shareholders.

As Francesco Cannavo is a director of the Company, Francesco Cannavo is a person in a position of influence for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11. The proposed issue does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12, and therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

To this end, this Resolutions seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue the 2,000,000 Placement Shares and 500,000 Placement Options to Francesco Cannavo under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

If approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.11, in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 14), separate approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1.

If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the proposed issue and will raise funds of $100,000. Additionally, as Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 will not be required for the issue of the securities (because approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the securities will not be included in the calculation of the Company’s 25% limit in ASX Listing Rules 7.1 (15%) and 7.1A (10%).

If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the proposed issue and funds of $100,000 will not be raised as part of the Placement

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits the Company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the Company unless either:

  • (a) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the exceptions to the provisions; or

  • (b) Shareholder approval is obtained prior to the giving of the financial benefit.

The proposed issue of 2,000,000 Placement Shares and 500,000 Placement Options (which are types of equity security, for the purposes of the Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act) constitutes

Golden Mile Resources Ltd | Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement

the giving of a financial benefit.

A “related party” for the purposes of the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules is widely defined and includes a director of a public company, a spouse of a director of a public company or an entity controlled by a director of a public company. The definition of “related party” also includes a person whom there is reasonable grounds to believe will become a “related party” of a public company.

The non-conflicted Directors of the Company (being Rhoderick Grivas, Phillip Grundy, James Merrillees and Grant Button) carefully considered the issue of these 2,000,000 Placement Shares and 500,000 Placement Options to Francesco Cannavo and formed the view that the giving of this financial benefit is on arm’s length terms, as the securities are proposed to be issue on the same terms as offered to non-related parties of the Company pursuant to the Placement.

Accordingly, the non-conflicted Directors of the Company believe that the issue of these 2,000,000 Placement Shares and 500,000 Placement Options to Francesco Cannavo fall within the “arm’s length terms” exception as set out in section 210 of the Corporations Act, and relies on this exception for the purposes of this Resolution. Therefore, the proposed issue of 2,000,000 Placement Shares and 500,000 Placement Options to Francesco Cannavo requires Shareholder approval under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 only.

Information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13

The following information in relation to the issue of the 2,000,000 Placement Shares and 500,000 Placement Options to Francesco Cannavo is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.13:

  • (a) The allottee is Francesco Cannavo, a director of the Company or his nominee.
